WHY NOT A HAH, TOO?
Os course, the seliool officials are
stepping into the situation, now that
it lias conic to light, and ate pro
hibiting, at least officially, any and
all smoking at the high school, which
is altogether right and proper. But
that does not. alter the fact that the
students wanted the privilege and
they went on record for it.
Just how much of this affirmative
vote was a sort of self-asscrtivcness
on the part of the young people just
I beginning to "feel their oats", as the
I saying goes, I can’t say. And while I
wouldn't be so presumptuous as to
claim the grown folks know it all—
which they don’t, not by a. jugfull—
nevertheless. I certainly wouldn’t sav
boys and girls of It and 15 are cap
able of paddling their own canoe and
making weighty decisions "on their
own.”
You paws and maws grant these
young folks this much liberty, and
first thing you know they’ll be tell
ing you when you can a.nd cannot go
to the pitcher show or your country j
oliil, or out driving in your car, or !
whatever else they make take a no- I
i tion to do. I admit we’ve come a long
way from the days of the Puritan*,
or even our fathers or a generation
ago. and a lot of folks will tell you
that youth is in the saddle and preach
tiie new-fangled idea of this self
determination whatever that is, and
.•ill that. But I'm telling you you bet

can. If parental duties cease to exist
when boys and girls get 14 or 15, you '
enn just make your own guess as to
what to expect of them when they
get along into full adolescence.
Smoking at the high school! Why
when I was in high school a feller
would be expelled if caught doing
such a thing. And a girl in high
school smoking, well she would purter
nigh be ostracized from decent
society.
Yes, times has changed, but they
aint changed enough for high seliool
boys and girls to be running their own
school. And l may be a bit old fogey.
Well, if you want to call it that, it
suits me. I don’t care what you call
it. If it suits me, guess it will have
to suit you.
If you are going to let ’em smoke
down there, why not just go the whole
hog and install in the new Henderson
high school a beer garden or a bar
room and let them have their fling

Propose Forcing
Worker Insurance
To Be Accepted
In i hi* Sjr Walter Hotel.
Uaily IH«i»af Rnrpa*,
Raleigh. Feb. 14—A further step to
ward forcing commercial insurance
companies to accept certain types of
policies in connection with the work
men’s compensation act was taken
when Senator Powell, of Whiteville,
introduced a bill which is designed to
put the State in the insurance bus
iness.
The bill is a following-up of the bi!i
introduced in the lower house which
would give to the State the authority
to write insurance policies. Senator
Powell’s bill would, if enacted into law
lead to the establishment of an in
surance fund for the insurance of
State employes aegainst occupational
diseases. Under the terms of the
t>ill the State could, at its discretion,
put into operation any of the phases
of the bill, and at the same time leave
inoperative any unnecessary sec
tions. Senator Powell’s bill, like the
House bill, would permit the State to
hold as a threat to commercial in
surance companies the provisions
which would replace the private com
panies with the State's plan. Com
mercial companies have shown ex
treme reluctance, and in some cases
have refused outright, to accept cer
tain risks.
The Powell bill, however, is a more
comprehensive measure than the
House bill merely provides machin
ery for the threat. The Powell mea
sure provides expressly for State cov
erage of policies protecting state em
ployees from occupational diseases.
It is an administration bill and was
proposed by the Governor in his
speech to the legislature at the be
ginning of the present session. It will
probably pass with little or no oppo
sition in virtually its present form.
Most legislators are highly favorable
to 'a.'broadening of the ’base of the
present workmen s act-
TaKhere
But Goodly Number f eel
Death Penalty Too Severe
On Evidence
The death penalty for Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann as the kidnaper and
siayer of Baby Charles A. Lindbergh,
Jr., was approved by many people
here today, following the verdict of
first degree murder by the jury that
tried him at Flemington, N. J., and
returned its decision last night after
hearing evidence for more than six
weeks.
But there was a goodly number of
citizens who felt the death penalty
was too severe on the basis of evi
dence brought out at the trial, which
they felt did not. fasten the crime on
Hauptmann beyond a reasonable
doubt.
j Those who thought life imprison
i ment should have been the maximum
punishment expressed the view that
the electric chair would not be too
bad if it were definitely and positive
ly known that the man actually com
mitted the crime. But there were
many doubts left in the minds of a
number of folks in this community,
ami some even hazarded ths view that
the defendant did not. in sonic in
stances get what they considered an
entirely fair trial.
There was a feeling, too, that the
jury’s verdict represented public sen
timent of the country generally, and
that that had much to do witli the
decision reached, regardless of the
man’s connection with the dastardly
crime.
AROUND TOWN
S«*nt to Hoads—Thomas Ellington,
white man, was tried in police court
today for being drunk, and was sent
to the roads for 30 days.
Tried for .Spcding—Fred McFall,
" bite man, was tried today in re
corder’s court on a charge of speed
ing with a. truck, but judgment was
suspended on payment of the costs.
Two Licenses Issued—Marriage li
censes were issued yesterday to two
Negro couples, as follows: Rufus
Henry Person and Della Hicks, both
of Kittrell, and Presley Harris, of
South Hill, and Lucy Brodie, of Hen
derson.
Business Lot Sold—A lot on Breck
enridge street, known as the Mrs.
Jane Y. Harris property, was sold by
J. C. Cooper and wife and T. S. Kit
trell and wife to T. I. Gillam in the
only real estate deed reported out to
day at the office of the register of
deeds. The consideration was given
as $lO and other values.
Newman Declares
He Favors Larger
Pav for Teachers
mt
Hally li|M|ta|«*h Unreal*,
In the N|r IVnllrr Hotel.
Rleigh, Feb. 14.—Friends of Sena
tor Harris Newman, of Wilminaton,
New Hanover county, have been sur
prised at the stack of letters and tele
grams he nas received during the last
few days irom teachers in New Han
over county and other sections, pro
testing an interview he recently gave
to the press in which he pointed to
the need for increasing the salaries
of employes in the various State hos
pitals, most of ,> loin get only about
S2O a month. But Senator Newman
has always been regarded here as one
of the most ardent advocates of high
er salaries for school teachers and is
already known to be leading the move
ment in the appropriations commit
tee to increase the State appropria
tion for schools to as large a. sum
as possible. As chairman of the Sen
ate Finance Committee, he is also
known to be doing all he can to find
additional revenue so that the ap
propriation for schools can be in
creased as near as possible to the
$22,000,000 a year requested by State
Superintendent Clyde A. Erwin.
“I cannot understand how the teach
ers have gotten the idea that because
I said I thought the other State em
ployes, especially those in the various
State hospitals and other State charit
able institutions should have their
salaries increased that I am opposed
increasing teacheis’ salaries.” New
man said, when questioned about the
many letters and telegrams he has
been getting. “For in the news story
which seems to have aroused the
teachers, I said that I was in favor
of increasing teachers’ salaries. I also
said that I thought the salaries of
these other State employes should be
inci eased as much as possible, since
they, as well as thei teachers, are
State , employ es. But I have always
been in favor of mor adequate sal
aries for the teachers and still favor
increasing them as much as possible.
When the appropriations bill gets to
the Senate I shall do all I can to
secure the adoption Os a larger ap
propriation for the schools.”
It is now the task of Senator New
man, as chairman of the Senate Fi
nance Committee, to bring out a re
venue bill that will provide the re
venue for the schools and other State
activities.
