A TIP

newspaper reporter interested in getting an
engineer s-eyeview of grade crossing accidents re-
Gently took ride in the cab of fast straemlined
train-and came back with an excellent tip for all
motorists.
A trains speed, he reports, is deceptive. fast
passenger train may travel thousand feet in a
little better than eight seconds.
The train may seem to be a safe distance away,
as you approach the crossing, when, matter
of fact, it is perilously close
So the reporter boiled his new knowledge down
to one sensible bit of advice: If, when you approach
grade crossing, you can see train approaching,
you simply haven't time to cross safely ahead of it.
If you can see the train wait for it.
Never forget that that train cover thou
sand feet in about the time it takes you I'd shift
gears and get your rolling-Greenville Pied

WTASHINGTON.--lt has become
w more fashionable TO warn
against dictatorship and FaScISm IN
his country since the lombard
nent maSSaCrcS in the Basque
COUNTRY began. Senator Borah Of
Idaho, although his words are
needed more in other nations than
n the United States, has delivered
IN especially powerful dcnuncia-
ion Of Fascist ruthleSSncSS.
Another warning OF sort, re-
sciving an increasing amount OF
attention here, is the Sheppard
Hill bill which purpOrtS to take
the profits out of war" After
much study, most experts have
concluded that it's impossible TO
eliminate war profits, but the
Sheppard-Hill bill has been maxi
ing progress in Congress despite
objections that its sole effect
would be to throw the United
States under rigid military die
tatorShip in the event of war.
The Sheppard-Hill has raised a
number of questions:
!. Whether our national safety
is ever likely to be threatened
by a foreign foe to the extent that
framework for dictatorship
should now be prepared, or
whether Congress should be left
free to legiSlate according to cir
cumStanceS.
2. Whether the War Department,
supporting the bill as a path
way for its industrial mobiliza-
ton plan, is baSing its war plans
on anticipation of another over
seas war rather than a defense
war in which Americas geograph-
ical isolation would make invasion
most unlikely.
3. Whether existence Of such
an act would be an, invitation
for some future President Of die
tatorial bent to foment an incon-
Sequential war as a preteXt for
jamming war d Lar at o n
through Congress which would
give him unprecedented power
over American life.
4. Whether, once under the
yoke for war purposes, the
country could depend upon those
in power to get out from under
it at any time subsequently,

.tgain and again if we keep our
eyes open, we shall see plenty Of
evidence that it pays to do what
should be done, regardless Of
whether or not we can see imme-
date returns or any returns.
For instance, this spring a good
government group, discussing the
advisability of putting a ticket in
the field for the city council, said,
whats the use? Not only are we
without sufficient funds and or
ganization to compete with that

DIR. DODD SEEING THlNGS-BUT HIS
MENTAL VISION is DEFECTIVE

DR.. William Z. Dodd, United States AM
baSsador to Germany, is seeing things in
this country all the way from Berlin.
DR.. DOdd has written numerous letters
TO political leaders in this country, charg-
ing Fascist dictatorship is in the making.
First, ne charged that an American bill
lionaire" stands ready to back the move
ment and finance it. Later he charged that
the movement has the backing of num-
Der of this countrys millionares.
DR.. Dodd gives beautiful exhibition of
a thoroughly alarmed citizen beating the
tomtoms; but it is practically certain the
country will not be stampeded thereby.
Some members of Congress and other cltl-
zens have made uncomplimentary remarks
about DR.. Dodd and his letters and charges,
but that is hardly necessary.
The country knows no American billion
aire is going to finance revolution to es-
tablish a Fascist dictatorship. First OF all,
nobody believes there is any such animal
as an American Millionaire. There are a
number of millionaires. None OF these gen.
ring up and financing revolutions. Men
who have what it takes to make one or
more millions are far too sensible and con-
servitive to do that.
The sole present danger that this eoun-
try will see a definite movement toward
dictatorship, following the Roosevelt at
tempt, is now being directed by the coun-
try's radical groups, aided and abetted by
certain politicians. This newspaper does
not believe they will go far with this move
ment, but when it fails it will not be Tor
lack of effort on the part of its promoters.
Gerald Johnson of The Baltimore Sun,
formerly of North Carolina, who IS GER
tainly not an enemy of the new deal, takes
the position that the country has been hv-
ing under dictatorship for the past tour
years-but Johnson says the Roosevelt die
tatorship is now definitely on the way out,
That is good news, if true-and we SIN
cerely hope it is true.
Discussing DR.. Dodds alarm, The Chris
tan Science Monitor says:
"Wen. perhaps so; but if there actually is dan
ger, it does not lie primarily IN the drecIioh VI
men of great wealth. 1t is only when the people
of democracy become apathetic, self-centered, IN
different to the common good, that any group OF
individual finds timbers for the erecting OF die
tatoral structure. Dictators arise where men nave
surrendered their brthright of self-eontroi' sen
respect, moral courage where their interest IN
materiaJstic living dominates their desire to under
stand and courageously express the divine attrlO
utes of Life"
This is something for intelligent and pa
triotic Americans to think about. 1t is to
be hoped that millions will rise to posi-
ton from which they can examine this
matter from the standpoint of The Mon
itor.

Just to be good fellow, he would

Then, 10 and behold, on the morn
ing of election day one Of the

had run candidates regardless of
prospects Of e.ecting them, they
would have gotten at least one of
their men on the city council to
