Seq Wind

The wind runs down the silver sand,
Turning the scattered rubble up:
The sea-weed, like a withered hand,
The dead shell, like a broken cup.
The wind runs up, the wind runs down,
A sea-gull's feather in her hair;
Her naked feet are slim and brown,
Her face is wild, and strangely fair.
Wild daughter of the gods, who rides
Upon the horses of the deep,
Driving the stallion of the tides
With shouting cry and breathless leap
BEATRICE RAW.

WHO'S

The significant aspect of Britains order to
blockade further shipments Of German coal
to Italy is that the London government mini
mixes the probability that MUssoLINI will take
a hand in H1rLER's war, or that Italy's aid to
her axis partner, should she enter the con-
flict, would be a serious handicap. 1t would
be difficult to explain Britain's order on any
other grounds.
Germany has been delivering coal to Italy
In great quantities during the winter. Wait
ing until winters seventies have BASED with
the approach Of spring, SO that her action
would not cause widespread suffering among
the people, Britain announces that her block.
ade of Germany will forthwith be extended
to fuel destined for Italian consumption
probably for the manufacture Of arms for
H1rLER-and that the 16 golfers loading at
Rotterdam must sail at once or run the risk
of confiscation.
The decision is not calculated to soothe the
MUssoL1NI breast, or TENDER his ire at his
partners enemy. From which it is reasonable
to believe that Great Britain has either pulled

LOCKS OUT OF PICTURE

Congressional refusal to consider an ap
preparation of S15,0 600, 600 for a start on a
third set of locks in the Panama Canal, which
President ROOSEVELT has recommended as a
defense measure, indicates that his leaders or
Capitol Hill are not in agreement with his
view. But, after his trip to the Canal Zone
and his observation of conditions there, Mr.
ROOSEVELT may send another message from
the White House to influence members OF
termined man and yields only under heavy
pressure.
That the locks are needed now, in the de-
tense program under consideration, is doubt
full. The Presidents declaration that addition
al Expenditures for planes and guns are plain.
ly indicated and should be provided for with
out delay appears much more reasonable, or
the score that planes provide detection of ap
preaching bombers at greater distances than
is now possible and guns offer sitter opposi
ton if they reached the Zone, than the dig
ging of more locks, which could not be com.
pleted for at least six years.
The need is for immediate protection, while
the threat of the European wars expansion
is imminent; not for something which could
not be made serviceable until after the wal
has either ended or the nations engaged in
it have spread its frontiers to this part of the
globe. Under present conditions, six years
is a long time to look ahead.
What the canal needs, and what the United
States needs, is protection against attack in
1910 or 1871. And that protection, as far az
the canal is concerned, can best be provided
by Warplanes and armament

TEP OUT

EAIRMoNT is to have a tomato canning
I plant. The chamber of m there
announces that a Virginian, Mr.. A. E. HUD'
finds in the vicinity that he will invest $10,-
900 in a cannery and has already contracted
for the crop from 400 acres.
The announcement is momentous, not be-
cause the undertaking involves a great
amount of money, but because it brings a
new industry to southeastern North Carolina,
and stimulates cultivation of a new crop in
the heart of a rich tobaccogrowing area.
Furthermore, it proves that the people of
Fairmont are a progressive group with ini-
tiative to draw outside capital for investment
in an industry which had not previously
flourished in their community. With tobacco
markets restricted because of the British
ban, and the outlook anything but rosy for
their chief crop, they prove their right to be
known as a progressive people by striking
out for additional means Of livelihood.
A small thing, perhaps, when compared
with the canning plants of other sections, but
capable of great results. Certainly it will
wean farmers in the district from the one-crop
principle which has been a stumbling block to
Southern farming for generations. In encour.
aging Investigation it will fulfill a long felt
want. Better still, it will give the community
new incentive to strike even higher and hard.
er for agricultural independence.
Fairmont is to be congratulated for its
seizure of opportunity when it knocked at
the door.

eraI aid in public education because 1t involves
violation of the old states rights thesis.
The fact is. says the High Point paper, that
s31 is spent to give a North Carolina child ISL
days of schooling while $1S4 is used for the
schooling of a youngster in New York for 1888
DAYS each year, and STA is spent on the ma
tional average. And that is explanation enough,
it argues, why the educational folk and their
supporters should rally behind the drive for
federal aid for schools.
Well, we are not going to challenge the En-
terprise,s logic, the fairness of its argument
and certainly are not going to give anyone
the right to class us with those who say feder-
al aid for schools is bad and dangerous be.
cause it violates the principle of states rights.
Fact of the business is, unless we are a poor
Judge of the outlook, federal aid for public
schools is something just around the corner,
whether or not 1t is as wise and as wonder
working as some picture it. to be.
We are reconciled to federal aid for schools,
are not fanatically opposed to it, believe there
is logic and equity in the argument that it
offers a remedy for present disparity, think
more can be said for it than can be said for
other forms of federal aid already entrenched;
but we are not as enthusiastic over the ven
ture as some of our school folk are.
The pending bill, we are continually told,
prescribes federal aid and bans federal control.
There can be, enthusiastic supporters of the
idea say, federal aid without federal control
and there can be federal control that helps as
well as federal control that hurts.
We concede sincerity to those who make and
defend such statesments and concede that it
is possible that the right kind of federal con-
trcl would be better than the type of control
some schools are now getting from states.
But experience teaches us that where fed
eral dollars reach federal control extends also
And common sense teaches us that that is the
way it should be.
So just as we are reconciled to federal aid
for schools we are reconciled to federal control
control that exceeds in length and breadth
the dollar aid given.
However, we think he who supports a mo-
ton for federal aid for a new cause should con.
slider the condition of the federal treasury as
we'll as the merit of the cause involved. And
of all groups, the educational folk ought to
know the present status of the federal pocket
book and what reaching new hands into il
means.
Put simply and bluntly, the price of federal
aid for schools at this juncture is federal con.
troll plus an addition to an already OMNIBUS
national debt, deficit and tax load. With it will
come many other headaches, some that cannot
be avoided and some that can but won't be.
But federal control and a heavy federal tax
load are two that are inseparable from federal
aid.

TAXED HEAVIEST

North Carolina tax collections last month
were $319, 1888 heavier than in February 1899.
Obviously the incomes of North Carolina firms
and individuals were proportionately higher
in the month just past than in the same
period last year; which is gratifying to to all
parties concerned, including the state treas
ury. If it is a fair index to the balance of
the year, North Carolina is destined to fulfill
the prophesy hopefully made when the year
was born, that 1910 would be a banner period
for all jewellers in the state.
There is, however, the inevitable fly in the
ointment. In the breakdown of the collec
tons it is shown that the largest single item
in the months revenue was the gasoline tax
which reached the total of $1,S50, 1875. This ex
ceeded both the franchise tax, which stopped
at S 1862, O43, and the sales tax, which brough
in $S65,9S6. Here is. fresh evidence OF the fac
