I : CAMPAIGN “PAY DAY” IN PENNSYL VANIA. K _ , I; Frederick 0. Beutel, one of the Pinchot j workers in the recent Senatorial primary 3 among the Republicans in Pennsylvania, told j! the Senate investigating committee ’several |' days hgp that at least 50,000 persons received' • ; money for. their work in. the primary. It is estimated now that more than $2,000,- * * 000 was spent by the three candidates with senat‘ >r Pepper and his supporters turning in the biggest expenditure tsljp- K Dr. Deutel told the committee that his data was based on ob servations piade at the Vare and Pepper head quarters during the days succeeding the pri maries when the rush of workers for the two organizations to get their pay was “like a run on a bank.” Continuing his testimony this Pinchot man told the committee he was convinced that “the balance of power” in Pittsburgh and Phil adelphia had been bought. There is one tremendous reaction to this primary and others where huge sums have be?n spent—a swing back to the convention plan of naming candidates. It is desirous, to be sure, for the people to have a voice by bal lot in the naming of candidates but the conven- Tion' plan never offered such oppprtunity for ■ graft as is found in the primary plan. Think .of three men spending more than $2,000,000 for a political nomination. There is no way in the world to spend such a sum legitimately. If we have reached that point where honesty ;■ plays no part in the naming of our lawmakers , we had better start over. It would be better : to dispense with Congress than to send there as our lawmakers men who would buy an elec tion. ! Honesty in officials and in the manner in ■. which we choose the officials is one of the nec {.[ essary requisites of a democratic form of gov ernment. If we buy the votes of the people olir system is no better than that of the feudal lords, who told the people what to do. St The candidates in Pennsylvania had been I H frank about the money they spent and that’s ’ the best thing that can be said for them. It would be impossible for any committee to get' the full facts if the candidates didn’t want to give them. Apparently the three candidates I in this case feel that they have done all right ;| at least they have been Jrank enough to shock ’ the country. SPQULD MAKE THE MATTER CLEAR. I The practice of shooting at suspected cars on the highways seems still to persist in some quarters. During the last week in May prohibition agents fired upon a car driven by a Delaware farmer. When they finally stopped the car, no liquor was found but the farmer's daughter had been wounded by a bullet. J Senator Bayard of Delaware asked prohibi tion enforcement officials how much kmger this sort of thing was going to keep up, and. James E. Jones, who is in command of the unit in the absence of General Andrews, is | quoted as saying that: h ‘ “All federal liquor law agents have orders not to shoot unless it is necessary to protect their lives. He said that it was a general or der from headquarters that prohibition agents j should not use their firearms unless they were | in danger of being killed. Agents violating & this order, he added, were liable to dismissal p, -from the service. The various prohibition ad ministrators, he explained, were supposed to sej^■ tliisj was obeyed jn their dijs - iilfwashingtrin'did not rely^en f>n the'ad ministrators to ifiiure -obedience to the rule.” | This interpretation seems clear enough And HP federal officials should see to it that ifc is un 4ersibod hy their agents, f? agenjs will fol- HHHr-V * i '■) i 2| low the law such shootings as described above -I would be avoided and innocent persons could | ride the highways without fear of being fired - upon. e There is one thing, especially in this ruling t that should be given special emphasis — the " declaration that officers have the right to shoot . only to protect their lives. They may have all sorts of beliefs aad suspicions but that does not give them the right to shoot. SAME OLD “RED TAPE.”~ . After several years of activity upon the part of Congressman Gasque of South Carolina, . President Coolidge has before him now a bill authorizing an appropriation of s4*Bo for the Rev. J. M. Holliday of Marion. It is said to i be the smallest individual appropriation ever | put through Congress. And yet it is a sum , to reimburse the minister for a transaction that he had with the federal government in 1917, just nine years ago. During the operation of local draft boards, the Marion minister bought from the draft board of his town a chair at public auction and paid for it $4.80. The chair was not delivered to him. however, because under the War De partment regulations no artitle could be sold for less than appraisal, and the chair had been appraised at $5.00. He thereupon began the nine year effort to recover either the chair or his $4.80, and if the President of the United States signs the bill before him, as he undoubt edely will, the minister will recoup his princi-* pal, though he will be out of the interest. This is a fine example of the “efficiency” of the government. If private enterprises had as much red tape as the government no one could manage them successfully. There have been hundreds ox examples of tax corrections that were delayed for years by the government’s policy, bound as it is. with red tape. One man. to be sure, failed to pay the government about $5.00 enough for one year. At the same time it was developed that he paid the government about S9O too much the year before. They couldn’t exchange the vouchers or strike a balance as any well man aged business would have done. No, the man had to pay his so.oo at once to keep the gov ernment from issuing a \Uarrant for him, yet the government didn’t pay the S9O until sev eral months later, and the man had no way to threaten Uncle Sam. v Still there are people who want to centralize more power in Washington.

Monroe Enquirer. I was very much interested in listening one day this week to a couple of ladies telling how their >ix-year-old children were further advanced in their school books than they were at ten years of age. * In a recent issue of The Saturday Evening Dost the late Luther Burbank gave same of his views in child training. The great naturalist had received a letter from a school teacher taking him to task for writing in his book. The Training of the Human Plant, that chil dren should not be started in school before they years old. She had., he said, given him the dickens. He • laughed good naturedly about it. “Every man to his trade!” he said. “This well j meaniug lady would just like to get her hands on all the little shavers the minute they are four, shut them up in ! a schoolroom, teach them how to fold their hands on I their desks, find then begin to pour her wisdom into them as though they were so many jugs. Well, I don't | quarrel with Her. But I’d like to go into the schoolrooms j where the youngsters are and throw the doors wide open and take their books away from them and shout: j “(ome on, get out of here! Get out in the air and sun shine, and play and ask questions and romp around and ' get sunburned and freckled, and watch the birds and the , bees and the dogs and cats and calves and flowers and clouds and and if I catch one of you studying i fractions <,r the names of the Presidents before you're j ten 111 give you an old-fashioned tanning!*' I Some day we may come to the conclusion that Aduca | tion does not entirely consist of memorizing text .books, but that knowledge gained by experience and ob , servation is really more worth while and more desirable. MR. PAGE IS MAD. i | Statesville Daily. The Raleigh News and Observer thus quotes Chair ' man Page, of the State Highway Commission, anent the Supreme court decision" in the case of Newton vs. the Highway commission: "The road was located in the most suitable place ac -1" cording to the best judgment of the State Highway Corn- Id m i Kl 9? ncr .>” frank Page, highway commissioner, stated . - yesterday, .“and the Suprertie Court'' Has forbidden the - * rood -to he built there. • Cf rttat location is wrong, there 5 must be a right one in the opinion of the Supreme Court. j and the highway commission is awaiting an edict from j the court stating where the road shall be built.” Mr. Page said that Whenever there is a controversy as II to the location of a road jo the future, the only way so . determine the location acceptable to the court will be to bring each controveTsed' location info the court by ati ■" injunction and then have the matter adjudicated in the ; j Buprenie Odurt. r That is the outcropping of an agjy spirit that is con- J’l trnry to the general impression of Mr. Page. Os course I ’ tlie court has not ’undertaken to select the routes for -1 the highways. It has simply told the commission that it can not set aside the .law ip its ’ discretion. The ‘ worst' feature of the Newton road case has been the - , yrf, an arbitrary, spirit as to .‘the selection t tip- i route, ti|e : d)f‘<ffie-diatrict -•OmpiissioM- S ee.

THE CONCOkb DAILY TRIBUNE e GREAT OCCASION AT j OPENING OF LAKE LURE 1 Indications Point to a K coord- Ing Attendance Tomorrow'. , Special to The Tribune) , Asheville, June 14.— Indications ' point to a record breaking attendance i at Chimney Kook Tuesday morning ; when the new town of Lake Lure is . opened officially by laying the corner stone to the administration building. Great military pomp and splendor will prevail during the ceremony. The United States army will be rep resented in the person of General A. J. How lev and other officers, some l from as far away as the government posts in the Pacific ocean. The in terior department of the United States has granted permission to natives from tlie Cherokee Indian reaerva ( tion to be present, and participate. One of their contributions will be a bow and arrow exhibition. They will also bring a memento from their great chief to by placed in tlie corner stone receptacle prior to its being sealed by "General Itowley with a sil ver trowel manufactured by Tilfapy. of New York, for this occasion after a special design furnished by i\t rs. G. A. Randeil and Mrs. Willis J: Milner. Jr., who have personally se lected all of the handsome prizes to be awarded the successful ones in athletic and various other features put on to amuse the vast crowd ex pected. Standing Deer and Sampson Boss, Indian chiefs, will be present with their staffs. Acceptances have been received from residents of several states which indicate a large attendance. Senator Overman, of Washington, has sent an autographed .memento to he placed iu the cornerstone reeeptahlc. The Chamber of Commerce at Raleigh sent a copy of the life and works of Wood row Wilson, a book by Josephus Daniels, who was secretary of the navy during his administration. The Kiwatiis Club of Kutherfordton sent a history of the county of Rutherford, an historical volume financed by Ken neth S. Tanner, the cotton mill mag nate of Spindaie, and other patriotic citizens. Single copies of practical ly all the newspapers circulating in this community have been received by the committee and will be deposited in the cornerstone as a record for posterity. The first deposit to ar rive from Soutli Carolina was from Spartanburg, according to informa tion through W. W. Holland, man ager of "The Herald. Copies of all the daily papers in the state of North Carolina have been gathered and also copies of weeklies published in Ruth erford and adjoining counties. Man ager Roger Miller, of tlie Asheville Chamber of Commerce, is to arrange a deposit of data concerning western North Carolina. These statistics will doubtless prove valuable as compari son at some future time, maybe a hundred years hence, when tile corner stone is opened. Statistics received for deposit from tile North Carolina department of con servation and development at Raleigh cover the principal industries of the state, crop fitatisties, manufacturing data, resources and raw materials Dr. Lucius B. Morse, who originally conceived the idea of the location of Lake Lure being suitable for a great national resort of mngniture unknown in America, is receiving congratula tions by every mail, and distant ones who have lieard of his success against what was thought to be prohibitive obstacles have showered him with telegrams of congratulations. There will probably be a thousand of these telegrams received before the corner stone is sealed which may be placed in the receptacle. Tlie multitude as sembled at noon Tuesday will be fed. One of the features is a barbecue for several thousand people expected. For days Jack Weaver, whose fame is wide as a barbecueian. has been scouring the mountains in an endeavor to ob tairt fattened animals best suited for barbecue. Several truck loads of soft drinks have been ordered and for once the w’holc country will be on the reception committee and welcome outsiders to be with them. The ceremony at Lake Lure will have a military atmosphere and na tionwide setting. In addition to state ifnd county officials, Washington will be represented by the war department and the department of interior. Em phasized by the presence of the Unit ed States army band of thirty pieces. The roads are in splendid condition and hundreds of cars will be iu line when Ihe I’athe News motion pic tures are taken of the event. Considers New Form of City Govern ment. Salisbury. June 13. Recently there has been revived talk of a change of government for Salisbury and this agitation took definite shape when some one started a petition asking for an election in order that the citizens might register their de sires. The )>etition names Managerial form ns- one alternative to be con . side red by the voters the other being aldernianic as at present. As only one fourth of the number of voters iu the last municipal election arc re quired for the call the promoters are certain of getting the election as only about 200 votes took part in the last city election. Those already ap proached on the question are practi cally unanimous for a change. , Name Building For Beloved Educa | Salisbury. June 13.—Prof. R. G. Kizer. for nearly half a century eon* . neeted with the schools of Routait | County and Salisbury, has been ’ honored by having a new and modern I school at Rowan Mills nnmed for ' him. The school was dedicated dur ing. the pust week with appropriate exercises that were attended by mnny ' of Mr. Kizer’s friends and former. " pupils. The address of the occasion ' was made by Walter Murphy, „eil known attorney of Salisbury. who n was a mcipher of the first class to II graduate under Prof Klaer iu ihe 1 I present. f Not in many season* have the Na f tiontti League clubs enjoyed such s r sight aa the preawit toboggan ride of the New York Giant*.

Kinston, June 13.—“A new race s will be developed in this part of the P United States. It will be a nearly f one hundred per cent pure American 9 race, whatever that means, utiles* r there should be an influx of ’ new blood from other regions.

These , grim looking people are not soub by . nature; speak to one and he smiles all over his map." said Shaeffer. "I never intended to come to North Carolina to live. I have no in • terest« here. They tell me the, state was backward in the past. A people who put monumental schools by the side of every cow path will achieve i miracles in the future. The roads are good. Other states have good roads. Tin' schools here are amazing.” SAMVEL F. PATTERSON LEFT $500,000 ESTATE Will. Filed For Probate With Hali fax County Clerk, Distribute* 'it Among Family. Rosemary.

In the event of Mrs. Patterson’s remarriage, she is to be limited to an annual income of $6,000 from the estate. What Constitutes a Majority? Tribune Raleigh Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. June 12.—What consti tutes a majority? When, for instance, three candidates are running, and all three get a te'hnieal majority, can tlie third man demand that lie be per mitted to run in the second primary ? This is the situation the State Roard of Elections had to face this week in the ease of the three cornered race for Representative to the State General Assembly in Duliam county. Bramley. the high man, polled 3.301 votes. Everett, the second place man. milled 3.065. while Cmstead. coming third, received 2.724 votes. Tlie legal manner to determine what oon stdtutes a majority is to add the to tal vote of all the candidates—in this case the total vote of these three can didates. divide the result by two and then divide that result by two. Tlie total vote in this case was 9.000. which made 2.272 votes constitute q majority, and the low man received 8.724. He consequently asked that his name be put on the ballot in the second primary. The Board of Elections asked for a ruling from the attorney general, who advised the board to refuse to permit the third man’s name on the ticket. Though with no definite au thority to do this, this was done. His only recourse now is to go into court and seek a mandamus requiring the Board of Elections to include liis name on Ihe ballot iu the second primary. Whether he will take this aetiou has not been learned. SISTERS ARE WEDDED IN DOUBLE CEREMONY Misses Louise and Mary Cooper Brides of Mr. Lippard and Mr. Williams.
