NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
LIQUOR IN GUILFORD

Editor of The Daily News:
The people of Greensboro and Guilford county
are very much indebted to the Cone interests foi
the position they took 40 years ago and still mann
tain regarding the sale of hard liquor, beers, aes
and wines They own as much as 5000 acres OF
land in the county besides their mill villages No
human being can rent or lease place on any OF
their lands for the sale Of either liquor Or beer,
ales and wines They are wise people and know
that wines and beers will turn the trick and will
make drunkards and cause disorder and trouble to
them and their business as surely as hard liquor.
The sale of wines and beers in Guilford county
has greatly contributes to the long list of drunken
cases Again, the beer and wine licensing of filling
stations, to which is added tourist camps, in which
women of quasi responsibility are invited and
housed is making perfect red light district from
Cherokee to Currituck. During the past week a
Greensboro woman went out with the officers to
one of these Guilford beer and wine selling filling
stations, with the other adjuncts, and found her
husband in bed with another woman. l have no
desire to expose these people, and am just using
the incident an illustration.
The general assembly of North Carolina has Ii
censed the sale of beers, ales and wines every
where in the state without submitting the question
to the vote of the people. i am informed that
every member from Guilford except Rupert 7.
Pickens, including the late Senator Burrus, T. c..
Hoyle, Jr and Benjamin Cone, voted for licensing
the sale of wines, beers and ales and also for the
A. B. C. stores. None of the above, except r. T.
Pickens now represent Guilford in the general as
sembly.
/ hope the new members of the assembly will
use some of that Courage" of which they boosted
in the campaign, and not be as represented in two
pictures of General Kouropatkin, the Russian gen
eral, before and after the battle of Mukden. In
the first pctrue he stuck out his chest and said
'he would make the Japanese soldiers do his will"
In the second picture he is represented as making
tremendous run to the rear, his strides being so
long that his tracks were being covered up by the
seat of his pants.-John S. Michaux in Greensboro

V7ASHINGTON.-The new Con-
w eressional Directory usually is
considered worth a book review.
;ince it's the bible of Washington
correspondents, social secretaries,
lobbyists, and nearly everyone
else who has to operate in the
capital.
This is the volume which con-
tains the biographies of members
of Congress, of the cabinet and
the U. S. Supreme Court justices;
names and home addresses OF gov
eminent officials and foreign
diplomats, and lists of congress
sional committees.
II also contains the description
OF functions of all government
| agencies, from the presidency
down to the Alley Dwelling Au-
| thority for the District Of Colum-
bia, and innumerable other items
which make it an mexhaustible
mine of information about what
some WaShingtonians refer to as
"the gumment."
AS che skins through the self
supplied biographies of 435 mem
bers of the House, in addition 20
| those of 90 senators, evidence iac-
cumulates that quite few con-
gressmen have been elected in re-
cent years more because they
were Democrats opposed to Re-
publicans than because of any
high batting average on the home
grounds.
Often the incmbentS chief
boast is that he was a bank
cashier or member of the school
board in a small town, or, merely
"active in civic affairs"

lean Legion.

world is in a frightful condition.
The world itself is all right. The
frightful conditions in the world
are due to the minds and the
hearts of the human beings who
control or could control this
world.
If the majority of the persons
who comprise the so-called civiliz-

right conditions sufficiently to
strive earnestly for them, the

KIDNAPPING AND MURDER IN
WASHINGTON

Words are totally inadequate to voice
the feelings and views of The Times-News
i'm reference to crime as hideous and bru-
tai as the kidnapping and murder of little
Charles Mattson out in the State of Wash
ington. Therefore, we shall not here con-
slider the details of the crime which ended
the life of the boy; but this newspaper
does desire to see public sentiment through
out the nation aroused to such pitch that
,fends like the killer of the Mattson lad
will either be deferred from the commits
sion of such crimes, or if the crime is COM
mitted, the perpetrator will be speedily
given the same treatment that would be
meted out to mad-dog.
1t is the hope of The Times-News that it
NAV be able to contribute in small meas
ure to the creation of this public sentiment
and that the press and people of the coun-
try may be so aroused that there may be
an end to the crime of kidnapping, the most
heinous and dastardly crime in the whole
catalogue of criminal activities in this law
less nation.
The American public has become stun
ned and callous under the constant shock
and pressure of news of dastardly crimes.
Indifference and carelessness characterize
the attitude of millions of otherwise good
citizens, so long as such crimes as kidnap-
ing, murder and other forms of violence
do not touch them personally or their re-
lations or friends.
This indifference and complacency in
North Carolina over the commission of
,dastardly crime in the State of Washing
ton, or elsewhere in the nation, will ultl-
mately result in exactly the conditions
which produce such crimes, and will pro-
duce them in this State. This state OF mind
of our citizens is that which views with
complacent indifference the prevalence OF
lesser crimes in North Carolina, ignoring
the fact that crime is something which
grows and expands, always becoming more
outrageous and brutal, until finally the
country is startled by a Lindbergh or Matt
son kidnapping and murder.
North Cardinals crime problem as II
stands today is one of the things which
fling challenge in the face OF every law
observing citizen. May the terrible trag
edy of the hideous crime against the little
Washington lad arouse every decent maj
and woman, every good citizen OF NORTH
Carolina, to lasting determination to con
tribute every ounce of weight of opinion
and activity to the fight against crime IL
our own State until North Carolina is {
law-abiding, safe place for every resident

pressed with recent remarks IN

hands me "The Bulletin" of the
Prudential Insurance company IN
which Daniel Rosen of Buffalo
says the salesman's frame OF
mind" is the big deciding factor,
"To be effective, you must first
assume a mental attitude OF SUI
preme confidence that you CAN
sell. Lack of confidence is inva-
riably responsible for mediocre or
negative sales results" says Mr..
Rosen.
He says your prospect likes it,
naturally puts up PERSISTENCE

any change in his established
habits and is disappointed if you
don't sell him, naturally saying
"no" and subconsciously wanting
to be sold"

MRS. BRADLEY URGES RENEWAL Motorists Must Get New Licenses By End of
 Month

Application for renewal of licenses by mail was urged today by Mrs. Alice Bradley, supervisor of the lo- cal bureau of the Connecticut De- partment of Motor Vehicles, who Is doing all in her power to avoid a last minute rush. Mrs. Bradley stated that it is a simple matter to simply sign the application, which is affixed to the 1886 license, enclose 8 and drop it into the nearest mail box.
 Applicants need not call in per- son for their licenses. If impossible to call for the license in person, the applicant may send another, or mail it.
 It has been estimated that about 40,000 licenses will be issued from this branch of the bureau. The State department as a whole is looking forward to issuing about 3S0000 H. cenSes. The last day of use for the 1886 license is April 30. During the month of February the local office issued 2,600 more licenses and regis trations than were issued in the corresponding month last year.
