THE "WHY” OF THE BROOK HART VICTORY! f Dissatisfaction with farm relief measures is the real cause of the vic tory of Col. Smith W. Brookhart in the lowa primary. It is true the cry of "martyr” which was raised by the former Sena : tor. after he was defeated in his con test with Senator Steek. probably aid r*)i his cause, but the chief cause was „ lack of sympathy shown by the ad . ministration for the farmer. > Sena lor Cummins has been an ad : ministration man. It is true he came Out solidly for the Haugen farm re ■ lief bill but that bill was never pass es cd. He may as well have come out is for anything else, so far as the farm :J ers were concerned. They could not ; be satisfied to know that he was sup- K porting a bill which had been killed. S -'J Frank Kent, who has been in loWa ’ studying the situation, says that ev erybody in that state depends largely t upon agriculture and that “a deep f. long depression disastrously affects everybody’s pocketbook’s very life.” 5 and he adds: “Such a depression exists today. A large proportion of the farmers in _ lowa are. as one of the best qualified Cf'MPtTU in the State to speak on the sub ? jeet expressed it. “having a hell of a time to get by.” There is no space here to discuss reasons. It is enough if to say that everybody agrees some *, tiling is wrong and something lias got J; to be done. is What the corn belt got in response ■ to its appeal to the Administration at Washington, instead of sympathy and . understanding, was a chill rejection of its proposals as “economically un- Bj sound” without a proffer of what is If considered here an adequate or con structive counter-suggestion. The re s' suit, is a situation where any form of f farm relief legislation at this session aeems impossible. Rr Is it surprising that lowa and the E rest of the corn belt are sore? is it & surprising that the sort of political jJ. situation described in this and tic’ gv first article has resulted? It is the eolorlessness. coldness and lack of coo vicition about the Coolidge attitude toward a distressing if not a critical g condition that actually exists, that has £ destroyed his propaganda-built i>opu M larity in this section and makes Sena-j V tor f’lmiiaiiis' friends regard his sup | port in this tight as undesirable. I NOT ALL A WASTE QF TIME, j Republicans, especially members of. I ' ‘old guard" do uot like investiga-1 g£ tious. They ure especially oprnvusl to si investigation of fraud ill official life j t or ill elections, and usually they raise 4 the time-worn cry that “the Seuute f upends too much time chasing do.vu | rumors.” and that '“Senators are un- I,- able to transact the regular business | because they are busUy running down | runWn#. <-•“’Such’ were|the etatemeptx K: mail* by Senator Reed, of I’ennsylr g yffhia. when the Senate decided to ° Mike inquiry into the manner in which tpe last Republican primary was man- Senator R«4d. of Missouri, nnswer rea>tmb«r two. im ist'g.itiout I.' ■■■ ’that brought two results of the most | important character. The investiga tion hy Congress disclosed the New • berry corruption. The investigation what is commonly called the Walsh committee uncovered an unspeakable condition in the cabinet.” We do not argue that Congress 1 should spend too much time with in vestigations, but what other business can Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, suggest that is if more importance than honest elections and primaries free from corruption and graft? And does Senator Reed argue that corrup- ' tion and graft are absent when more than $2,000,00 is spaat in a primary?- PREDICTS RECORD YEAR FOR HIGHWAY WORK IN STATE. j : Chairman Frank rage, of the North Carolina Highway Commis sion, was in Charlotte several days ago and while there was questioned by newspaper men as to the progress , of highway vvork in the State. Mr. Page is quoted as saying the j greatest single year's program ill the [ history of the North Carolina Com-1 mission is being carried steadily to-1 ward completion, and if weather con- J ditions are favorable, 600 miles of paved highways and 300 miles of oth er types of roads will be built as the commission's record for 1926. The North Carolina commission's forces are completing an average of three miles of highway per day, Mr. Page explained, and a greater mileage is now under construction than at any former time in the history of the State. Mr. Page expresses himself as well pleased with the progress of the commission in its vast undertaking, one of the greatest of its kind in the United States. One delights to hear of progress with our highways, especially in the western part of the 'State. There in several counties tbe hard-surface road is opening a new world to our people, is giving them an outlet for their produce and as a result is giving them an incentive to work. Mr. Page has a right to feel proud of the rec ord the commission has made. The New Office es the tribune and Times. Winston-Salem Sentinel. John IS. Sherrill, owner and puli-j lis'aer of the Concord Tribune and Times, who set type on the \\ csteni j Sentinel, during tbe days of Edward ; A. Oldham's ownership, has just i moved his printing plant into a new and spacious building, with all mod-1 ern equipment. He and his papers , are at home to their thousands of admiring friends. It is understood that the publisher is planning for a generous housewarming shortly. Among riie newspaper fraternity it will be recalled that John Sherrill served the State Press Association as secretary for mauy years. He was then elected president and in both positions he has performed his duty well. He has met with splen did success in the newspaper "game" and is one of North Carolina's most popular publishers. The Sentinel hereby extends its congratulations upon the forward step taken by tile owner of the Concord daily and semi-weekly publications.

S. 0., .Tune B.—With i the drought situation ill the section having, reached a stage declared to be the most serious ever recalled. Mayor J. It. Johnson today called up on citizens to lay aside business Wednesday at 11 o'clock and to gath er in the First Presbyterian Church to offer up prayers for Divine relief In practically all of York county, no rain greater than a sprinkle has fallen since April Tth, and Wednes day will mark the sixty-third day of the drought which has occurred at the most critical period of the year for farmers. If rain does not fall within the next seven days, all hopes of produc ing a cotton crop must be abandoned. L. W. Johnson, county agent, de clared today. Both Mr. Johnson and A. A. McKeown. district agent, agree that the situation is the most serious in their recollection. "This is uot. however, a time for panic." they, said in a message to farmers. “It is a time for courage and for swift and decisive action when the moment comes." A survey of the county by the agents lias proved that comparatively few stands of cotton have been se-j cured. The ground in all parts of the county, except that adjacent to the North Carolina line, is hard and absolutely w ithout moisture. I hey said.
