Editor and Publisher W. M. SHERRILL, Associate Editor Special Representative: FROST. LANDIS & KOHN New* York. Atlanta, St. Louis, Kansas City, San Fraucisco, Los Anjelee and Seattle POLITICS AFTER TWO WARS. After referring - to the death of Corporal Tanner, whose resignation as Commis sioner of Pensions President Harrison “had to demand” because of “the laxity of his rulings and his general tendency to raid the Treasury in the interest of Union veterans whose claims were not the most deserving,” The Springfield Re publican contrasts the political heritages of two memorable wars as follows: “The after effects of the \\ orld \\ ar on American politics have thus far been so different from the after effects of the Civil War as to excite comment. The for many years. Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison and McKinley were helped up the political ladder by their military ex perience. In 1920, however, the candi dates, entirely bare of hero stuff, were plain civilians; and ten years after the. World War will see the country still without a Presidential candidate who ser ved in the National Army unless an ex ception be made of Vice-President Dawes, whose political rise has not been due to popularity gained by militarry ser vice. For thirty years after the Civil War politicians inquired carefully about a pos sible Presidential candidate’s war record. Today no one in either party seems con cerned in the least if a candidate tarried on the home front, even if he was of fight ing age during the war period.” The Republican explains that “the emotional reactions in national politics” of “a war between the states” were inev itable “much more profound and far reaching.” After the W ar Between the States the voters or the warring groups were geo graphically separated. Most of one parr tv lived in the North and most of the oth er party lived in the South. This was not true after the World War. People in all sections of the country fought for the same principles; they had the same ob jectives. Politicians didn’t want to say' much about the war politically for .fear of the German vote, whereas after the War Between the States it was good-politics to stir up enmities created by the con ict. Organizations of veterans after the close of the War Between the States were very active in politics. Such is not the case now. The American Legion, the most influential post-war organization, does not deal in poliitcs and no doubt this has had something to do with the fact that former service men have not been elevated to high office. And there’s another reason—people realize now that military men are not al ways as successful in office as in the ser vice. The fact that a man is an excellent soldier does not mean that he would make as excellent a Governor, Senator or Pres ident. THE INEVITABLE STRAW VOTE. The inevitable presidential straw vote has made its appearance, and this one would show that Governor Smith and Secretary Hoover are the choices of the Democrats and ‘Republicans, respective ly- • ' It doesn t really show anything as a matter of fact, for only a very few peo ple voted and included in the few were none of the political leaders who know how to swing the votes just where they want them. And too, most of the people who vote in the straw vote contests are supporters of candidates who are being opposed or who are given no chance for success. \\ e don’t know just where the votes in this particular contest came from but we have an idea they did not cover the sec tions which are opposed to Governor Smith. And at the same time we have an idea many of them came from the sec tions which are favorable to the Govern or - That s always true in straw vote contests. Secretary Hoover is one of the best known men in national life but he is not so popular with the politicians for the simple leason that they are not at all cer tain he will do as they want him to do. The straw vote shows that he has strength, but it does not show that the party leaders will be all set for him when the convention starts. A majority of the people casting the straw votes have no voice in the national convention Thev send uninstructed delegates or “favorite son” delegates who do just as they please after a few courtesy votes. . Governor Smith is one of the most popular men in America today but there are thousands who do not agree with his policies. Secretary Hoover is an able man with a strong following but there are others like Hughes, Dawes and Long worth who could get better organizations and therefore have a better chance. Straw votes mean nothing in reality. GOOD NEWS. Good news comes from Raleigh form of a prophecy that in the future in North-Carolina jvill be about 10 per cent, cheaper than at pres ent. Virtually all of the publishers are said to have agreed to a plan which will permit the school books in use in the State to be sold to the school children at a 10 per cent, reduction, the plan provid ing for the publishers to absorb the 10 per Cent, commission formerly added to the cost. This plan means that the State Deposi tory, which collects 10 per cent., will get its money hereafter from the publishers. The 10 per cent, that is allowed to de positories or'firms in each of the counties will remain in force, this being the amount of profit they are allowed for handling and selling the books. It is said the publishers feel that the State De positorv saves them enough in overhead and handling charges to enable them to pay the 10 per cent. They are willing to pay this 10 per cent, also, because they feel that it is cheaper for the depository to distribute the books than it is for them to distrib ute them. It is said, however, that the State officials are willing to let the pub lishers choose their own plan of distribu tion. If the publisher thinks he can dis tribute direct to the county depositories he can save the 10 per cent, that he would pay the State should lie send the books through the State Depository. It is said that all details will be ironed out this week so the public can know what to expect. The public is entitled to the reduction, and the 10 per cent, saving will mean much. Buying school books is quite an item of expense in many families, and it is a fact that there are more children as a rule in the homes of the persons of mod erate means than in the homes of the wealthy-or well to do. THE REMUS TRIAL. We do not know whether George Re mus was crazy when he shot and killed 'his wife but certainly during the selec tion of his jury he has not acted like a sane man. His actions, however, apparently are due more to a fiery temper than any thing else, and certainly we can’t excuse all slayers simply because they can’t con trol their tempers. Remus has displayed an antagonistic attitude that should not be tolerated. If the court were right in allowing him to take part in the selection of the jury it should have seen to it that he acted like a sane man while at the task. He gets up and shouts whenever the spirit strikes him, threatens people whom are opposed to him and otherwise conducts himself in a very disorderly manner. It may be all for effect but somehow it seems to us that the outbursts show the real character of the man. He started out as a lawyer and gave up his practice to enter the bootleg business. He sensed more profits in the latter vocation. He has just reached that point where it is natural for him to oppose all legal things. He doesn’t want to be opposed whether the opposition comes in the court room or in some “blind tiger” joint. His conduct has been evidence enough that he should be confined. If a man like that is turned loose on the public, he may do anything, especially if he escapes after taking the life of another person. SPELL IT OUT. Don’t use the form “Xmas.” Spell it out as it should be, Christmas. Write it Christmas instead of Xmas. “A good start was made throughout the country last year toward eliminating the word Xmas from advertising copy,” says The Carolina-Virginia Retailer n an edi torial. “Organizations of- advertising men and merchants condemned the use of Xmas as an abbreviation or substitute for Christmas to such an extent thsPt it was barred from the advertising of a ma jority of the leading stores of the coun try, and many ad. writers now consider it absolutely outlawed,” The Retailer con tinues. It won’t be much trouble to eliminate the distasteful Xmas. It isn’t any more difficult to write Christmas and certainly this is the best form. “Who would write X for Christ?” asks the Winston-Salem Journal, which explains that “to write Xmas for Christmas is to do the very same thing.” MANY SOUTHERN HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES GO TO COLLEGE. Nearly half the-graduates of accredit ed high schools in the southern States enter colleges. The average for the schools accredited by the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States is 48.2 per cent., accord ing to Dr. Joseph Roemer, secretary of that association, in an article in School Life, a publication of the Interiar De partment, Bureau of Education. More than two-thirds of the accredited high school graduates in South Carolina con tinue their studies in higher institutions, and even in Louisiana, where the propor tion is lower than in any other stouthern State, the corresponding percentage is 39,1. More girls than boys attend school, but the boys who go to college outnumber the girls. Slightly fewer than one-sixth of the high-school pupils carry five or more studies. It does not hurt them to do so— perhaps they are the best students any way —for five-sixths of them were in the top quarter-zef their respective classes. , \ Only about 1 in 40 cf those who took more than the usual four studies failed in any one of their courses. N The Southern Association comprises 844 accredited high schools. They are usually of moderate size; two-thirds of them enroll between 100 and 499 pupils. The largest enrolls 2,821 pupils and the smallest only 20. The number that have fewer than 100 pupils each is about four times as great as of those that have more than 1,000 pupils each, hut the number at either extreme is relatively sfinall. The number of teachers is 11,807, an average of about 14 to each school. More than two-thirds of them are women, hut in general larger salaries are paid to men. The medium salary of high-school prin cipals is between $2,000 and $2,500 a year; the medium salary of men teachers is between $1,501 and $1,800; and of women, between $1,251 and $1,500. DIFFERENT AT LEAST. W. O. Sanders, of Elizabeth City, has a love for the unusual. Or perhaps we had better say he has a love for the nat ural, since he likes to write just as he talks. Last week one of his daughters, Miss Billie, was wedded to a highway depart ment worker. Instead of the usual an nouncement and stereotyped phrases, Editor Saunders described the wedding differently, as might have been expected from him. Here’s what he wrote; “Billie is ni. rried. Early marriage for Billie was inevitable because Billie was inherently a lover and home-maker. Bil lie loves to prepare meals, make her own clothes, fix up the house, make a home cheerful, colorful, inviting. And so when Pete Smith proposed marriage Saturday night Billie jumped at her chance and Pete and Billie were married Sunday without further delay and without cere mony. Just a simple home wedding with the old folks looking on with their hearts in their throats.” A bride who “loves to prepare meals, make a home cheerful, colorful, inviting,” says The News and Observer—is that not the type of wfife told of in modern phrase ology the same as is held up in the Scrip ture as the model wife in these words? (Ecclesiastes 31.) She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands; She riseth while it is yet night, and giv eth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens; She laveth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff; She maketh herself coverings of tap estry ; her clothing is silk and purple ; She looketh well to her and eateth not the bread of idleness; Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. According to the Bache business re view of the past week, business is a little below normal. For instance, steel prices are lower than since in early 1922. Mr. Schwab says, however, the indus try is on a sound basis and that reduc tion of wages has not been even thought about. The Carnegie Steel Co., (follow ing the September increase) has again to day advanced the price of bars, shapes and plates, indicating firm determination to end unprofitable selling. The automobile business is on a down ward trend, which is seasonable, and manufacturing is going on at a lower lev el than a year ago at this time. The used car situation, Automotive Industries says, is causing some concern. Values of sec ond-hand vehicles have suffered heavily from more frequent introduction of new models, depreciating more quickly the displaced models. Commerce and Finance estimates that the country’s trade is not more than 90 per cent, of what it was at this time in 1926. This, however, might, be con strued as favorable, as the difference be tween hard and good times is not gener ally more than 10 per cent, and an up turn is in order. In waiting periods of inactivity, the unfavorable things come to the surface. Mr. Theodore H. Price evolves a pic turesque simile when he says that wrecks and rocks are always uncovered and visi ble at low tide, and while we are waiting for the ood that will succeed the ebb it is likely that much will be heard of hap penings that seem unfavorable. He thinks the important thing, to remember is that insofar as present conditions are unfavorable, they reflect the past rather than the future, and that they probably mark the ending of the ebb. Ihe Baptists are confident that their centennial .drive for educational funds will be a success. The drive was launch ed several weeks ago and progress al ready made leads the Baptists to believe that success will eventually crown their efforts. O. Max Gardner, of Shelby, gen erally recognized as the next Democratic gubernatorial candidate, is one of the di rectors of the drive and this move will not hurt his political chances. If the drive is a success, and we believe it will be, then Mr. Gardner will be just that much clos er to the big Baptist vote. We do not mean to intimate that he had the Gov ernor’s Mansion in view when he started the campaign work, but just the same his efforts in the matter will not hurt him Ipolitically. M, i. 1 THE CONCWfD TIMES THE TIGER GROWLS. Wilmington Star. The latest maneuver of Tammany Hall, which organization seeks to seat. Alfred E. Smith in the White House, betrays a nervousness born of des peration. Unable to convince the South that it should support its candidate regardless of its own inclinations, Tammany has been reduced to the puerile pastime of threatening Southern Democ racy unless it comes to scratch and votes accord ing to orders. Judge George W. Olfany, titular chieftain of Tammany Hall, has been quoted as saying that in event Smith is nominated, the South '‘will be whipped into line.” That might mean much or nothing, but the Smith house organ and Tammany mouthpiece, the New York World, becomes a bit too zealous in pushing its case and explains just what Mr. Olvany meant by his promise of a chas tisement. In brief it is Tammany's plan to penalize the South by demanding that the fifteenth amendment be enforced in all Southern states. This to come no doubt, if Southern Democrats show any incli nation either to bolt the party headed by Smith and go Republican, or set up an independent party with a Southern Democrat as the standard bearer. Senator Glass, of Virginia, in a rather heated reply to The World calls attention to the fact that he or any other Southerner can reject Smith for his stand on prohibition without subscribing to an analogy with the enfranchisement of the negro as guaranteed by the fifteenth amendment. Mr. Glass contends that while the law specifically provides for the enforcement of the eighteenth, there is no such provision contained in the fifteenth. Correct, but Mr. Glass acted unwisely in accord ing the cheap sentiment of The World the dignity of an answer. If the South has no more moral courage nor political righteousness than to accede to New York’s demands it deserves to be penalized to the utmost. If it is willing to cower before the growling tiger, it deserves no sympathy from the rest of the country. OWNERS TIRED OF THEIR CROSS. Charlotte News. Although the automobile owners of the nation have thus far borne the heavy tax placed upon them with more or less patience, indications are not wanting now that the worm is about to turn. Appeals for elimination of the federal sales tax on passenger cars which were submitted last week to the House Ways and Means Committee are ex pected to be only a forerunner of a concerted drive for more moderate State and municipal assess ments, too. At this time, although automobiles have long since passed from the luxury category and 90 per cent, of them are used at least partly for business, motorists are paying approximately $697,219,000 taxes. Driving fees and licenses take $288,282,- 000; gasoline taxes. $202,500,000; United States sales tax, $66,437.000; municipal tax levies, $15,- 000,000; personal property tax $125„000,000. It is not the property tax that tbe organized motorists are fighting, nor do they oppose reason able drivers’ fees and gasoline levy. But the situation revolves around what is termed “reason able,” and there is a pained outcry among the owners, dealers and Manufacturers whenever the three per cent, government sales tax on passen ger cars is mentioned. Secretary Mellon has already told the Ways and Means Committee that he is opposed to the repeal, but he will face a terrific assault on this stand. The American Automobile Association, with 939 affiliated motor clubs, nearly twenty large national motoring organizations representing the public as well as most every phase of the auto mobile industry is committed to repeal endeavors, and they have more than a flimsy foundation when it is considered that the autos are being taxed as a luxury and have completely deserted this class. The sales levy was adopted as a war measure and the war has been over nine years. It is time for the tax to go, too, along with the other war taxes. WHO WILL CELEBRATE HEROIC HUS BANDS OF FAMOUS WIVES? Raleigh Times. Who knows the married name of Ruth Elder? Not we, we have forgotten it. But she has a husband and. somewhere in New York, he is on hand, lost in the tumult being made over the re ception of his wife as a welcome home. “'Mr Ruth Elder!” What, for instance, be came of “Mr. Berrie Cat,” or “Mr. Carrie Nation,” or “Mr. Harriet Beecher Stowe,” or a half dozen other useless appendages of women who in a per fectly virtuous way became notorious? Few know what is the legal name of this young woman who, in flannel skirt and khaki breeches, won fame by tempting the Atlantic in a plane and making a dog-fall of the adventure. The husband is on hand. He says plaintively that he is there because, if he were not, it would be said that he and his wife were estranged. He is making a rather pitiful bid for notice. Welcome to Ruth is said to be preparing on a scale to rival that which was pulled in the case of Lindbergh. But Mr. Ruth’s role will be the hard er. the more emphatic it is made. One wonders how, as a self-respecting man, he can stand it. Yet the fact is that for every Ruth Elder who is so much bigger than a mere husband there are several times a hundred heroines who never see the first page. They are women who make flights that the Associated Press would not consider “news” and who yet keep millions of homes safe from floods and perils, and disaster and sudden death. They are economists at whom bankers would sneer, doctors who violate all the rules, preachers whose scripture is as homely and un cousidered as the things the Christ said when, sitting on the ground, He taught His Apostles. Cheer up! It,is hard to be the husband of a heroine, perhaps But who, being a husband, is not? ** DISTINGUISHED GUESTS AT THE WHITE HOUSE. NNew York World. Big Bill Thompson made good on a prophecy Tuesday, what is more, it was a prophecy of sev enteen years’ standing. The Associated Press tells the story. On September 8, 1910, Theodore Roosevelt was invited to address the Hamilton Club in Chicago. Taking notice of charges that William Lorimer had bought his seat in the Senate by bribing members of the Illinois Legislature, Mr. Roose velt notified the Hamilton Club that he would not attend its meeting if Lorimer were present. Lor imer withdrew. Thompson was one of Lorimer’s lieutenants. And Thompson made this prediction at the time: “Roosevelt is riding to a fall. He will never get to the White House again. I pre dict that “Billy” Lorimer will dine with a good Republican President in the White House And I hope I’m there to see him.” It turned out, seventeen years later, to be break fast and not dinner. But ‘Billy” Lorimer did break bread with a good Republican President in the White House. Coolidge was his name. And Big Bill Thompson got his wish to be there. Also among those present was one Governor Len Small. It is a curious spectacle. One cannot imagine it happening everywhere. One cannot imagine the Prime Minister of England, for example, giving official recognition to a bitter critic of England’s neighbor at the precise moment when this critic was in the midst of a virulent campaign of hatred. The Prime Minister of England would have found away somehow to be otherwise engaged or slightly indisposed on the morning when this visitor came to town. But Mr. Coolidge is not Prime Minister of England,, nor is he adept at the art of being otherwise engaged or slightly indisposed. OTHER THINGS THAN CIGARS. Confirmed smokers are not defeated by any such experiment as that which has been carried out through the kind offices of a student at the Uni versity of Maryland. It is true that this young gentleman, accustomed to four cigars a day, dis played distres after smoking thirty in eight hours, hut as an offset to this the movement is already on foot to select a subject accustomed to three meals a day and feed him twenty in the same time. Toxic-effects are expected Sxwa a i«^ WHO KILLED THEM? SANDINO OR UNCLE SAM? Richmond News-Leader. You were gripped in the throat if you read that story from Nicaragua of the two American fliers whose plane crashed a month ago in territory oc cupied by General Sandino. The two men, a sergeant and a lieutenant, tried to make their way out of tire jungle. They cap tured two natives, whom they compelled to act as guards. While the Americans were going through a thicket, one of the Nicaraguans took his machete and badly wounded the marine nearest him. The other promptly shot the assassin and then carried his comrade to a nearby cave. The second native escaped when the marine was wounded, and he promptly reported to Sandino all that had hap pened. The next morning Sandino’s men sur rounded the cave and opened fire on the American when the two emerged from the cave. The ma rines soughs to the finish and fell dead with their pistols in their hands. It is a grim story, creditable to the courage of the men and to tbe tradition of the corps. But— who killed those marines? Sandino or the United States? The two marines had been out on a bombing raid against Sandino and his followers. Doubtless they had discharged their loads of TNT on any groups of natives they had seen, or on any “base of supplies,” which is the polite name for a village where, amid women and children, a few Nicaraguan “rebels” might have been eating or sleeping. Bombers show no mercy and receive none. When they are forced to land in a hostile country and attempt to make their way out, they may expect what these two fine youngsters received. It was an act of war on Sandino’s part: what was it on the part of the United States government, which landed marines in a foreign country, with which the United States are. at peace, and then sent American youths on a' bombing expedition against people who were doing only what Amer icans did in 1776? STATE ABOLISHMENT. Charlotte Observer. The Greensboro Record digs out from the New York elections one itenr which had been overlooked iu the general of New York results. B.v a “decisive” majority the voters of New York State approved a measure which will eliminate every grade crossing within the bounds of that Commonwealth. The text of the'measure is uot yet. available, but The Record assumes that it takes form of au amendment to the Constitution, and the adopted plan will probably cost the State a considerable sum of money, for the voters scarce ly~have tbe right to force the railroads to pay for these .improvements out of their revenues. It is more than probable the amendment was in due form of a measure giving the highway body author ity to change the grades of its roads in co-opera tion with the railroads. North Carolina is gradually eliminating its grade crossings, but there is no law to require such ac tjpn and it is being done on the initiative pf the highway commission and in co-operation with the railroads In this State it is recognized as a safety measure and no constitutional amendment is needed to make it effective. However, suggests 'The Record, “definite legislation on the subject might speed up the work, for only a small per centage of the grade crossings have been elimi nated.” ANOTHER WAY OF DOING IT. Charlotte Observer. Several years ago'when the State was halting at issuing more bouds for highway work, the ex pedient was adopted, to hush the cry from various counties for more money, “right away,” of per mitting the counties to borrow on the credit of the State Highway Commission, with promise that it could be repaid out of the next bond Issue. This arrangement permitted the countrie to go ahead with construction of hard surfaced highways which they wanted, and at tbe same time advanced the accomplishment of the commission by just that much. The Monroe Journal is citing the case of the highway Union County built to and through Waxhaw to the South Carolina line and of how that road is now the possession of Union County at an expense of only $20,000. The county has borrowed $250,000 with which to build it. When the bonds were sold recently, the apportionment due Union was placed to the credit of that county by the State Treasurer to be used in paying off the notes. These notes have been paid in full, and The Journal records: “The county is ‘out’ only the in terest on the two notes, which was around $20,- 000. That sum was included in the refunding bonds issued this Fall and the account is now closed. The county has the road, and it has cost us less than $20,000.’” And that is but another of the several ways in which North Carolina has been biilding, highways—every one of which beats the “pay-as-you-go” plan. MOST USEFUL VEGETABLE. Kinston Free Press. Twelve thousand, six hundred collard planta— count ’em! They're in the biggest collard patch in North Carolina, perhaps, at the prison stockade below town. There are several acres in the patch. The stand is fine and there are enough heads to keep the county’s 100 or more convicts well fed during the next few months. We can imagine collards are an important item in the bill of fare at the camps. The convicts are fortunate in this one respect, at any rate. Collards are as typical of North Carolina as apples are of Oregon. We speak of the fact rather apologetically. As a matter of fact we should be proud. <• An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but a collard a day would be much better Apples, we believe, are useful merely as an aid to digestion. The lowly collard makes blood and muscle and flsh. It is brimful of iron. It is nature’s own laxative. It is oi» of the most useful vegetables that grows. The pot liquor of which Southerners used.to be so fond contained the elements that made the teeth strong and decay resistant. It is not good form to eat collards, the elite tell us. But as a matter of fact your lowly greens are the aristocrats of the vegetable kingdom. WHAT HAVE WE TO BE THANKFUL FOR? Salisbury Post. What have we to be thankful for? The indi vidual may ask—what have I to be thankful for? If we will ask this question honestly and frankly and then frankly investigate conditions we will find that all of us have something to be thankful for and the most of Us much in which to rejoice. The old fathers of the early days, those who fixed upon Thanksgiving Day and entered into the spirit of the day, had little to be thankful for as compared with us, who have so much. Our fath ers of colonial days thought enough of the idea to bring about a day of thanks; thejj entered genuinely into the spirit of the thing and made it count large in their lives. So should we. We make a good deal over the day, but do we get the real spirit of the day as much as did our fore fathers? May we make this Thanksgiving Day one of real joy for ourselves and for others. Es pecially ought we to try and bring some joy into the lives of others. One way is to remember the orphans. HOW MANY WOULD HAVE TURNED TO THIS JOB? Edgar L. Keating, a Kansas City lawyer, was going quietly to work the other dav when he ob served an accident A motorist had run down a woman. Leaping into his car, the driver was preparing to flee the 6cene of the accident Mr. Keating was in line with the incoming car. As it reached him, he swung aboard, thrust out his hand, turned the ignition key and removed it, making possible the immediate arrest of the of fending driver. Many o l us would have had the same chance to perform a great public service, but would have delayed, hesitated and missed it. We might have told all about how it happened afterward, but in emergency would not have been ready to act. Mr Keating must be a good lawyer, for he has a quick sense of justice.
