RIRI.E THOUGHT
THE CHRISTIAN AND GOVERNMENT
THE WAR ON SLOT MACHINES

THE WAR ON SLOI MACHINES
The Henderson county campaign against
slot machines, punch boards and other SIM
liar gambling devices is undoubtedly APP
proved by majority sentiment Of the peo-
pie of the county The reaction to the cam
paign maugurated by Sheriff Davis and his
assistants to clear the county of these con-
trivances indicates that public sentiment Is
opposed to this form of gambling.
Some business men of HenderSOnvllle
have sought The Times-News to voice their
approval of the movement and state they
hope the county will be entirely relieved
of this racket and that permanently.
These business men say this petty gam
bling racket is the source of considerable
losses to general business and they are
concerned from that standpoint. People
who cannot afford to gamble and lose their
limited funds are the chief support of this
business; and when they have lost their
money gambling they have little or moth
ing left for food, clothing and other neces-
sites. The patrons of these devices include
many children and young people.
chases of necessities and some times lose
the cash in slot machines or by patronizing
other devices, and are forced to return
home without the things they have been
sent to buy.
A leading business man of Henderson
vile, urging that these gambling devices
be run out of Henderson county and kept
out, stated they are constant and heavy
drain on the resources of community and
section with the limited income of this
place and the surrounding country. Legiti-
mate business loses thousands of dollars in
every year through the operation of these
devices.
AS an economic issue this racket is live
one in Henderson county. Leaving the
moral aspects of the problem out of con-
sideration, it is losing business for all pa
irons of these devices and for legitimate
business. From the standpoint OF morals
it is, of course, in the same class with any
other form of gambling.
All citizens of the town and county OPP
posed to gambling should take advantage
of the present opportunity to make their
opposition audible and impresSively vocal.
Let public sentiment be crystalized against
slot machines, punch boards and all other
similar devices. 1t has been said time and
again in the past that this form of gam
bling was tolerated in Henderson county
because majority public sentiment was not
against it.
The Times-News has never accepted this
statement as true; and now that law en-
forcement officers are aroused to under
take to drive this gambling system from
the county, they should have unmistakable
evidence of public approval and of ma
jority sentiment.

NEW YORK, September 3d.
Achievement of complete electrical
mastery over steering steamships was
announced yesterday by the Sperry
Gyroscope Co.
The tanker ESQ Bayonne came into
port yesterday after a trial with a
new type of electrical steering mo-
tors. They kept the rudder, in effect,
"in gear" all the time with all the
ships steering wheels.
They made it possible for the first
time on a commercial vessel for the
helmsmen to switch instantly from
one steering wheel to another or from
one steering system to another. Here
tofqre there has been delay.
The shifts are not infreQuent, for
steamers have usually three steer
ing controls. One Is on the bridge,
another on the flying bridge, q third
below decks. If one system fails, an
other is ready. Needs Of navigation
also cause shifts.

Electricity Masters Knotty
Problem of Steering Ships

In the past before the hemsman
could change he had first to make
sure his new wheel was "in line"
with the rudder, for an electrically
controlled wheel, when "off duty"
could be turned so that its position
no longer agreed with the detection
Of the rudder.
With the new motors it makes no
difference how = wheel is turned
when not in use. The motors do all
the lining up. Being synchronous,
the motors of each wheel are always
ready to pick up the rudder whenever
another wheel may leave it without
allowing the ship to turn more than
one-sixth of a degree.

POWER FOR LABOR
SEEN BY WALLACE
Urged Workers and Farmers
to Persevere Until They
Match Corporations.

Editors note-This is the sec
ord of three Associated Press
stories reUie1Uing hitherto unpub-
liShed speeches made recently by
Secretary Wallace, in 1Uhich the
administration farm spokesman
discussed a major political topic of
the day: Should Federal activities
in agriculture, industry and COM
merce be expanded or contrdcted?)
Labor and farm groups, in the ex-
pressed opinion of Secretary Wallace,
SHOULD not rest until they get bar
gaining power equivalent to that en-
joyed by the corporations.
Voicing this belief recently, the chief
of the Agriculture Department said he
thought farmers and workers would
gain such power eventually through
organization.
When that happens, he predicted,
industrial corporations, workers and
farmers will be compelled to join
forces, probably under governmental
direction.
Must Accept Doctrine.
at seems to me-" Wallace said,
"that corporations must more and
more be prepared to accept the doc
trine that capital and management
have received from Government a
grant of power which entities them to
make profits on condition that certain
rules of the game are observed with
respect to production, prices, wages
and savings"
He said these rules should be con-
sidered in development Of a new N. r.
A. or any other Federal control over
business and industry.
Tracing the history Of corporate
enterprise the Secretary Of Agriculture
said it has become an important fac
tor in national life since the Civil
War land especially since l900.'
So constant has been its growth, he
said, and so great is the power of in
dividual corporations today that 200
Of the largest ones will own 10 per
cent of the corporate wealth by 1850
II recent trends continue unchecked.
Hits Corporation Lawyers.
He declared corporation lawyers
have built "a myth that there is some
divine right of corporations to exer-
else powers, and that legislatures and
courts have no right to call them back
Or curb their use"
Corporations, Wallace added, have
been able to say, Take or leave it,
to nearly every one, and the public
had to take it even when it meant
millions of men walking the street,
even when it meant 3O-cent wheat,
even when it meant prices for manu-
factured products which had been cut
very little
If we have another N. R. A. it
will be disastrous" Wallace said, If
business men merely think of prob
lens in their particular business with
out being also compelled to think
about the relation OF their problems
in their business to business as q
whole"
