CAN’T SUPPORT HIS CONTEN TION. It seems, after all that the Church Temperance Society of the Protest ant Episcopal Chtm-h didn't come out : in favor of light wines and beers. One of its members, and apparently its spokesman, told the world several days ago that the body wanted a mod ification of the Volstead Act and his announcement started such a furor i that he has had to come out with an other statement to the effect that he was acting on an assumption when he made that statement. The Rt. Rev. William T. Man . ning. Bishop of New York, told a •congregation Sunday that he disa " greed emphatically with the first re - port. “Undue importance.” the Bish op said, “has been attached to the statement of the society because it has no official authorization and no right whatever to speak in the. name of the Episcopal Church.” Os course, the later statement by the member of the society just kills the whole propaganda. However, in view of the fact that the wets have seized the mistaken statement as a means of continuing their fight against prohibition, it is well to look further at the statements ■ made by Bishop Manning. “The mind of the Church was expressed at the General Convention of the House of Bishops in New Orleans last Oc tober, when a resolution was adopt ed unanimously applauding the re newed efforts of the government to - enforce the prohibition laws strictly ,f and impartially.” The Episcopal Church is being crit ' irised for the statement purporting to come from the society. Many peo ple do not understand that the socie ty is a voluntary organization and that its findings necessarily would BE pet influenced by the Church tneni - berelip, 1 The Episcopal Church along with nil of the other Churches, worked £ for the enactment of the prohibit ion measures and the public fonnd it bard to understand how one of its , its, societies could come out in opposition ji#. to the law. The statement from the ip society member and utterance* by - Bishop Manning and other leaders in the Church have set the public right. M THE PRESIDENT TO LET IT ALONE. OK President Coolidge doesn't want to L# take any hand in the coal strike. The Semite, after twi<-e refusing to do so, v.i finally passed a resolution asking the Hr' Chief Executive to call a conference st at the strikers and operators with the if end in view' of settling the controver m Vfift Wldtje House “Unokesuian” wins IS. qtflf*: tp ’idqfnMfe,'/eteu«ft>t he fare of E; the Bemite resolution and despite the fact that the resolution was finally 1, puwted because the Senators saw how H' public opinion had changed in the Pj pliidll Last week the vote to defeat the. resolution was almost two to one; lon the second attempt the opponent* won by three Votes and the resolution I was finally passed by aa overwhelm j ing majority. Washingtbn newspaper stories say I the change in the Senators was forc ed by public opinion. The public wants the strike settled and the Sen ators saw they must change their views or be contrary to the wishes of the constituents. Here in the South the effects of the strike have not - been marked, for soft co*l is used almost exclusively and about the only effect has been an increase in the price of soft coal, due to the fact that more soft coal is be ing used in the larger cities which usually have a ban on it. The price of coal here, however, is 'no higher than-it was last winter, so the pub lic in this section of the country does not feel keenly the strike’s effects. In the larger cities of and north conditions are not so favorable. Peo ple are actually suffering for coal in New York and the supply is so limited tfibre that one hospital was without coal for almost a day. Thousands of people are out of em ployment in the coal fields and they are beginning to feel the pinch of want. They are demanding a settle ment. The consumers in the larger cities also are demanding coal. They are just as anxious as the miners to see a resumption of work in the hard fields. President Oooihlge doesn't want to tackle the job. He feels that it does not come within the scope of his du ties. And further, he is afraid of making some one mad. If he leans with the operators he threatens to make enemies of the miners, with their thousands of votes. If he leans to to the miners the operators with their millions will be dlsplaased. However, public opinion is the most potent factor in the world. The President may be, forced to do some thing just as the Senators were forc- to change their views. REYNOLDS THINKS HE CAN SURELY BEAT OVERMAN But One Complication Might Arise and Not Sure He Could Beat Cam eron Morrison. Tom Bost in Greensboro News. Raleigh, Feb. B.—('apt. Bob Rey nolds. Asheville lawyer, movie hero, world traveler and picturesque poli tician. is in Raleigh on business, but didn't miss' 1 telling the world that he is running for tile United States Sen ate. “And I am going to beat Senator Overman.” Capt. Bob told the Daily- News bureau today. ‘‘l am going to beat him as surely as he stays in the race. I am going in all parts of the state and talking to the farmers. They are for me and are going to elect me.” Just one complication may arise. Captain Bob is not afraid of Senator Overman, but he is afraid that the race will get so hot that Cameron Morrison, of Charlotte, may be in duced to enter it. ”1 have no idea that Mr. Morrison will enter the race for governor: never have had any.” Captain Bob says. ‘‘Max Gardner has been nominated governor ever since the morning after the second primary in 1929. Governor Morrison would stand no chance of beating him be cause Governor Morrison and every body else lit 1 1 pel to make Gardner the ] nominee five years ago. I don't know what would have happened if everybody hadn't made up his mind 1 give years ago to nominate Gardner: t but nobody could get into t'ae race now and nobody will try. There i never has been anything in the gos- i sip that Governor Morrison would I like to run for governor. He doesn’t .- wish to be governor; bnt I am not i so sure about the Senate.” < Os course Captain Bob recalls Gov- > ernor Morrison’s expressed purpose not to run against Senator Overman; ; but the Asheville lawyer recalls also I the promise of Mr. Morrison to sail i into the opposition to Senator Over- < man if the fight on him gets so fierce as to give trouble to the Salisbury | man. Captain Bob promises to make | it just that hot. Indeed, he says, St \ is already very warm and Mr. Over- | man will find it much hotter within the next ninety days. Captain Bob i has an organization in most of the , counties, and when he can't get the i workers he goes in person to the place I where he is needed. Washington ftdks say the Salisbury ; senator is serenely indifferent to any i race against him and that he will 1 stay in the capital. Captain Bob joins him in the wish that he will 1 have a good time up there. If he < will remain in Washington, Captain I Bob will do the rest 1 I Age of Mental Maturity. t During the war it was possible to i compare the relative intelligence of men of different age- by means of 1 the army psychological seats. The tests indicated thut intelligence 1 does not increase in adult age. Men 1 30 years old did not do much better 1 in the tests than men 21 years old. Experiments to determine the .point ' at which adult intelligence is reached l placed the age level of so-called adult ' intelligence in the vicinity of 14 or 1 15 years. 1 Such are the conclusions drawn * from the army tests by Dr. L.

Carolina will be in the throes of a ! statewide primary election. The law sets the first Saturday in June as the date on which all parties shall choose their nominees for state and county offices, and the primary this year will fall on June sth. x. Included in the large number of ■ officials to be elected this year—ean ■ didates to be named in the primary in June, and the actual election to oe eur in November —are four members: I of the North Carolina Supreme Court! and one United States senator. In addition. North Carolina will this year elect ten members Os Oon -1 gress eleven superior court judges. ■ twenty solicitors, one member of the North Carolina Corporation Commis sion. 33 state senators, 120 represen tatives. and approximately 1,00 coun ty officials. Senator Lee S. Overman, of Salis bury. must stand for re-nomination in j the Democratic primary in June, and for re-election in November, his six-j year term expiring this year. The four supreme court justices whose term expires this year are: Chief Justice W. P. Stacy, Associate Justice Clarkson, W J. Adams, anti W. ,T. Brogden. These four must stand for nomination in the Democratic primary, and then for| election. \ i All of them except Judge Brogden come up for election or a full term | of eight years. In Judge Brogden's , ease, if he cares to remain on the | bench, must stand for nomination and election to All the unexpired term of former Jfudge L. R. Varser, resigned, who was appointed by Gov ernor McLean to fill the unexpired term of Judge Stacy, when the latter was appointed from the bench as chief justice. Judge Brogden. if re-elected, will sit oh the bench until 1928, when he would come up for re-election for a full eight-year term. Chief Justice Stacy is now serv ing the unexpired term of the late Judge Hoke, having been appointed at the resignation of the latter, who. in turn, -was filling out the unexpired term of Chief Justice Walter Clark. Judge Clarkson is now filling out the unexpired term of the late Judge Platt D. Walker, And Judge Adams is completing the unexpired term of Judge Allen, who was filling out Judge term, who in turn, was named to fill out the unexpired term of Judge H. G. Connor. And Judge G. W. Connor, whose term expires in 1928. is now filling out the unexpired term of Judge Hoke, when the Inter's place as associate justice was made vacant by his ap pointment as chief justice. None of the five present members on the court, therefore, has ever been 1 elected for a full term as associate justice, but is now serving as chief justice under an appointment. The incumbents of the ten seats in Congress from North Carolina are all Democrats. They must all stand for re-nomination and re-election for the ■ two-year term iu Congress, if they ■ hold their seats. They are. listed In i the order of the districts they rtpre-j • sent: Lindsay C. Warren, Washing i ton: John X.' Kerr. Warrenton; C. ■ L. Aberneth.v, New Bern : Edward M. Pou. Southfield ; Charles M. Stedman. Greensboro; Homer L. Lyon, White ■ viile ; William C. Hammer.

What is the matter with the men who are elected governor of North Carolina that death soon retpoves them from the scene of action after serving their terms? It is certainly not the strenuous work they do for their hours are short and they are so hedged about with commissions and helper- that much of the routine of the office is taken from their shoulders. Governor Craig during his four year term of office was the very pic ture of health yet soon after ho re tired his- health gave way and death soon claimed him. Governor Bickett retired from of fice with the rosy glow of health on his cheeks but almost without warn ing ill a very short while after he re tired he was taken. Governor Kitchen lived some ten or twelve years after he vacated the office -but within two or three years after retiring his health became broken. Governor Glenn lived some ten years after retiring from office but he too died suddenly—in tjjc night Sir from friends and kindred. At the present time North f’aro llan has ouly one living ex-governor. Cameron Morrison. The Mecklen burger seems to be in robust health at the present, ready at all times to fight back at his enemies but his I days like these of his predecessor may be numbered. Jnat why North Carolina gover nors are taken so early after leav ing office is not. understandable. Take Virginia to the north of us she has a whole dis k of former governors living Monday Harry Flood Byrd who w only 3X yearn old was inaugurated governor of the Old Dominion and. we call to mind at least half a dozen farmer governors of that State living. Senator/ Swason and Repre sentative Montague both of whom have been in congress for years are former chief executives of that State. Then there is Trinkle, who has juat retired. Mann, Davie and Stuart and there are doubtless others. South CamUiM. our sister State on the South, also has a number of Hying ex-governors. The firey Itlease now in the United States senate served three or four terms anti there is Manning, Ansel, and pertiaps others that we do not recall. North Comma has but one “Ex” but he is our chief exhibit and makes enough noise for half a dozen “Exes” <* the other States. ■ v Mussolini’s Indiscretion Charlotte Observer.

The whole thing has got to grow and develop and finally burst of its own accord' now.

Colette withdrew it In quick con tusion. Michael, strangely, was just as tonfused by his own temerity; an inoommon emotion for him, in deed. 8o he talked again, softly: “Thlncs are going to be very dif (erenk.with me from now on. The M order has changed. The old tfb with all Its shallowness and ooekery la sliding away. I’m go ng to see If I can’t get some gen uine happiness That is, we are going to—you and I!” “We?
