A MBRITBD APPOINTMENT
The appointment of Dr. Roger L.
Coe, of this city, as state director of
the national youth administrfrtion
comes in merited recognition of his
qualifications and abilities as ah edu
cator.
Dr. Coe will make good in this re
sponsible position and will go about
hi^ werk in a quiet and genuine spirit
of loyal service to the boys and girls
,he is to serve. His-appointment to this
post of distinction- will be thoroughly
justified, we are sure, by the charac
ter and quality of his .services.
A NEW FEATURE
“The Story of-the Constitution,” bjr
Caleb Johnson, is a timely new fea
ture beginning in The Chronicle today,
and one that bids fair to get’a great
deal of favorable comment from read
ers who’ will no doubt welcome the
chance to “bru.sh-up” a bit on the his
tory of the famous old document, the
why and the how it came into exist-
enc-e and other vital details.Jt’s a non
partisan presentation and will ^ive
our rt-aders many “forgotten facts”
pious hope that the League of Nations
might do something about it.
Fortunately, our country -is not
baniHng under these war clouds. ^m1,
if this impending world-wide confla
gration does get under way, our peo
ple are hoping we may be successful
in keeping out of it.

THE SLAUGHTER MOUNTS
Your chances of being involved in a
fatal automobile accident are much
greater* on highways than anywhere
else. Bad as the urban accident rate
is, the death toll i.s mounting fastest
in rirraT territories, even though traf
fic is less dense.
liast year 167,000 accidents occur-
cation July 19th at three o'clock iii the!
afternoon.
6. The bids shall be opened and!
await^ made by the County Board of
Education who shall have the right |
to reject any and all bids and to re
advertise for new or additional bids.
6. All contracts for transportation I
shall be awarded to the lowest respon-|
sible bidder.
7. This notice shall not apply to dis-j
tricts owning their own school busses.
8. Following list of busses for which
bids may be received^ and any and all
red on highways. The result was 160,-
000 injuries and l.i,000 deaths. By;other routes designated by Board of
contrast, 286,000 city accidents caused! •
but 8,000 deaths. In 1934 the rate of j hurricane’I? to Clinton, Hunter^^
death per accident on highways was Mountville 16, Mountville—
more than 100 per cent greater than
the average for all accidents combined.
The rea.son isn’t hard to find if you
but look. Jhe modern highway is wide
and smooth, rarely congested. It looks
as safe as your own back yajrd. And,
upon which to base i>o.ssible future as a con.sequence, thousands of driv-
discu.s.sion. It will appear in short
wet'kly installments until the story has
been told. Don’t miss a chapter.
LIQUOR FACTS
The population of the United State#
is 26 million more persons. in .1935 mi. j »
than Tf was" in UTlT. Tri' thi^' fiscal yeari^l*^ Thousand* of .matonsta, aie
-ending June 3Q, 1917, the peoitle of the
United .States consumed 85,248,000
gallons t»f whiskey. In the fiscal year
just ended, a iMipulation^ more than
one-fifth larger ilrank | third less
whiskey — only 55,.500,000 gallons.
Tbe.se statistics are fi-om the govern
ment’s internal revenue i-eport.
The.se figures point out the dis
proof of the oftTheard a.ssertion that
the habit of drinking intoxicating li-
tjuors was greatly increased in recent
years under pi-ohibition. If that were
true, then certainly the volume of al
coholic <lrinks consumed now, by a
much larg’er population, would
show a decline, but an increase.
With liquor now legalized through
out the country, a big jump may be
exiK-cted in drinking consumption next
year,-and for years to come.
ers relax behind the" wheel, and step
hard on the accelerator. When a crisis
arrives, they act too slowly, or are go
ing too fast to avoid a .smashr—and in
jury or <k*ath follows.
This is especially worth remember
ing now with the hot .summer season
making trijis into the country — and
they should keep in mmd4he unhaiijiy
fact that somnolence on the highway
is an invitation to the coroner.
AN ORGY OF SPENDING
A second illuminating chapter on
the ^xtravaganefi and loose spending
of tbt? recent legi.slature ap{>eai-s, in
the news columns of today’s paper. It
is an itemized account of the expenses
of the senate and hou.se and is alinost
beyond belief, containing as it does
many amazing items, tt is published
for the information of taxpayers who
should open their eyes to a legislature
elected on the oft-repeated promises'
of economy, but instead responsible
for this wild orgy of spending.
WE ALL NEED AMBITION
Few of us accomplish anything
without ambition—\ve-nee<i desire all
our live.s. *• .
The legislature for 77 actual days
work, spent upon it.selt and for its
multitude of attaches, $343,075. (H
this enormous amount the itemized
article sent-out from Columbia by
Conrad F. Smith, show^ $41,606 cov
ered up to the light of ordinary day
under the phrase “approved accounts.”
There have l>een few business sue
ces.'^t'.s accomidisheil by those who had ~~The big racket was the item of oyer-
no ambition or desire to,go forw-ard
to attempt to do something.
Behind the whole huipsn race in ev
ery race is the thing we call desire. It
is the steam of the human engine. It is
the urge of human accomplishment.
People do not fail so much because
they want for w-rong things. Some do,
of course. But most people do not suc-
cec<l liecause they do not know- what
they want or do not want a thing hard
enough!
The efforts'of mankind should be
not to suppress nor destroy desire so
much as to direct it into proper chan-
nel.s and save its force for something
worth while.
The greatest wasters are the wast
ers of ambition.
A DARK PICTURE
The war clouds are gathering thickr
ly over Euroi)e, Asia and Africa, All
of the efforts in behalf-of peace on
the part of nations who have already
got a satisfactory slice of Mother
Earth swm to have no effect upon the
nations which are bent upon grabbing
off more territory for themselves.
Japan continues its incursions into
Chinese territory. Germany is speed
ing up its rearmamei^t plans. Italy
seems determined to make its invasion
~‘of Africa as vigorous as any of the
campaigns of the old Roman Empire..
England has signally failed jM a
peace-maker. Mussolini has spurned
tjie British advances, and practically
defied the Englsih to do anything
about .ins attempt to seize Abyssinia.
By ber efforts to bring about a peace
ful understanding with Germany,
■Great Britain .seems to have reopen^
the. tears, of th« ancient enmity of
Vtiaact. Russia’s protests agakisi Ja-
paa'a activities on the continent of
Asia unheeded.

time, many clerks, stenographers and
various attaches drawing frpm ten to
fifteen dollars per diem for^their ser
vices. This enormous “overtime over
head” could have been avoided had the
legislature gotten down to work in a
business-like way and completed its
job in the usual length of time desig
nated by law. It will be ihteresting to
compare . the salaries paid there
against those-paid back home in the
respective counties for a whole year’s
work to efficient, well-trained em
ployees, holding positions of respon
sibility and trust.
Just think of it again—$343,075 for
just one session. For two sessions on
the same basis, it would be $686,150,
for three sessions—only $1,029,225.
This “story” of extravagance
should also be put away in thousands
of scrapbooks for a future tefreshing
of the mind when those / responsible
for such spepding and Waste will be
heard all over the state proclaiming
