ica," Mr. Rhett discussed the amal
gamation of races which now exists
in our country. The influence of
foreign immigration upon native
Anglo-Saxon stocks has been very
great. The new immigration differs
from the old in that the new classes
of immigrants cannot be so easily
assimilated into American life as
.could the old. The problem of the
Pacific coast states is with the
orientals, that of the north with
southern Europeans and that of the
south the negro. While the southern
white man is not solely responsible
for the negro problem, he is the one
who must solve it.
The speaker pointed out the ten
dencies toward specialized and tech
nical training which are now current
in modern education. The great work
of the correspondence schools shows
the drive to acquire practical train
ing. We should have in the United
States a nationa lsystem of educa
tion and the forces which have been
most instrumental in the shaping of
American life and institutions should
be fully taught in the public schools.
In closing his first address the
speaker declared that the two great
influences which have contributed
most to American life are women
and religion. The emancipation of
woman has played a great part in
our growth as a nation.
In discussing "Political America,"
Mr. Rhett traced the development of
the Anglo-Saxon peoples. Greece did
not achieve anything 'permanent in
government. Rome gave law. But
democracy was contributed by the
Anglo-Saxons. Mr. Rhett next took
up the governmental theories of
today and analyzed them: anarchism,
syndicalism and socialism all lead to
bolshevism.
The development of our American
system of government has . been in
fluenced by many political theories.
State's rights have come and gone.
There has been a gradual tendency
towards centralization. The Civil
War threatened to disrupt our gov
ernment but it was held together.
Local self-government has stood the
test.
The third and concluding lecture
was on "Industrial America." Mr.
Phett discussed the economics life,
capital and labor and the public.
Capital is represented by the trust.
The trust sprung up up as a result of
a movement -among the individual
ism of the early republic." As the
people were drawn closer together
they began to . accumulate their
capital for commercial enterprises.
The railway had much to do with
the formation of trusts. But the
trust now forces disintegration be
cause the forces which brought
it about have almost disappeared.
There is a limit to their efficiency
and economy. The development of
motor transportation creates an in
dependence of railway service. For
a long period the tourists controlled
financial interests in America. Mr.
Rhett pronounced the Federal Re
serve Act the magna charta of
financial freedom.
The trade union was formed to
combat the trust. At the first the
nation generally was sympathetic
with organized labor but it has been
carried too far. Labor, however,
cannot be blamed for wanting a
share of the profits of industry. But
'labor must realize that it cannot
thwart the public good.
It is now being recognized that
the public is vitally concerned in all
industrial questions and this third
element is being given a voice. Mr.
Rhett believes that the solution oim
the labor problem in America will
have its beginning in the industrial
plant where employer and employee
can meet on common ground. There
must be a democracy in industry
within a democracy of government.
Lain, and an error by Toler filled
the bases in the-sixth inning. J. J.
Younce got to first, scoring Saun
ders. A wild throwj by GuHey
scored McLain, drawing Graham on
third and Younce on second. "Lefty"
Wilson scored Graham on a sacri
fice hit, and "Jo Jo" scored after
Lowe flew out to center fielder.
Feimster then singled and stole
second. Milton was walked and
both tallied when "Bill" Lewis'
single rolled away from Norwood,
leaving Lewis on third, who scored
when Saunders got to first on an
error, .
In the eighth, with "Runt" Lowe
on' second base, Feimster singled;
Lowe then scored on Dick Milton's
single and an error by a state
player.

z made the prettiest catch seen on
Emerson field in some time. Dick
Milton popped up a long fly way
over the third base line, but John
son managed to get it. This catch
was cheered heartily in the Carolina
stands.
State's best chance to score came
in the seventh. Deberry, first up,
singled. He was advanced to second
by' Murray, who was safe on an
error. . Kirkpatrick fanned. The
bases were full when Norwood
reached first on Dick Milton's error.
However, Erwin, the next up, flew
out to Graham; and the side was
retired when Faucette was put out,
Wilson to Lowe.
In the third inning,' Feimster got
to second, was sacrificed to third,
and was scored when Saunders hit
up a sacrifice fly.

SIDE AT DEMOCRATS,

.upon the duties of the legislative
body. In state politics he is opposed
to the revaluation act, favors legis
tn mpAk agricultural needs,
desires a mere adequate educational
system and better roaas, Deneves in
women suffrage, endorses the right
of labor to organize, strike and bar
gain collectively, denounces political
dishonesty and does not think that
the negro can ever have any political
influence in the republican party.
In opening his address, Mr. Parker
spoke of the urgent need for leader
ship. We need men of courage and
of education. Political parties are
means to - an end should not be
supported out of blind partisanship
alone. Today, as never before, the
nation needs disinterested patriotism.
No man should put his political party
above the good of the state.
Mr. Parker then proceeded to
natural issue. In socialism there is
a great menace to our civilization,
for it would destroy the right of
private . property upon which our
entire system is based. Socialism is
perhaps the greatest problem in our
natural politics. We must also
beware of the snare of international
ism... ..Mr. Parker is willing to accept
the League of Nations as an experi
ment if our national sovereignty is
preserved that is, if the Monroe
doctrine is safeguarded, if we are
allowed exclusive central of national
questions and of congress is given
sole power to declare war, or in
other words if Article X is cut out.
In regard to state matter, the
burden of Mr. Parker's attack fell
upon the revaluation act. We need
a new tax system rather than a
remodeled one. The revaluation act
throws the burden of taxation upon
those who are least able to pay it.
We should derive a large part of our
state revenues from an increased tax
and lighten the tax on realty. There
should be no derible taxation or a
tax on realty and then a tax on the
innnmo from the nroDertv. We must
have a taxation system which will
reach the industrial and commercial
classes. '
North Carolina must have more
adequate legislation to benefit the
farmers. Some of the laws Upon
our statute books actually retard
agriculture. Better roads must oe
built. We should have a state sys
tem of highways rather than county
systems. Education must De
furthered. School teachers should
receive larger salaries and free
books should be furnished in tne
public schools.
Labor must not be deprived of the
rights to organize, to strike and to
bargain collectively. Labor is not a
commodity and cannot be treated as
en rh. Mr. Parker favors a child
labor law and a limitation upon the
labor of women. We should have a
Inhnv commission to act as mediators
in industrial disputes and to see that
the law is enforced.
The remiblican party two years
ago went on record as favoring
women suffrage. Equality of suf
frage is inevitable and we should
vote for it ourselves rather than let
the other states impose it upon us
Nnrt.li Carolina should have the
Australian ballot, the absentee vote
law should be repealed. Mr. Parker
made a stroner appeal for an improve
ment in political morality. Political
gerymanding should be stopped.
In ree-ard to the negro Question,
Mr. Parker said that the negro
could not again participate in poli
tics, without injury to himself and
the state. The republican party has
no desire to bring the negro back
into state politics. However, he must
be given a square deal.
Carolina Alumnus
Holds an Important
Government Position
J. Y. Jordan, son of Deputy United
States Clerk and Mrs. J. Y. Jordan,
or Asheville, is the American vive
consul in charge at Brest, France,
according to a letter recently received
by his parents in this city.
During the absence in the United
States of the consul at Brest, Mr.
Jordan was authorized to take charge
of affairs at the consulate and to
administer the office until the return
of the consul, at an increase in
salary. ,
Mr. Jordan is only 24 years old,
and it is quite an honor to have
such a responsible position in the
government employ at such an age.
He was commissioned vice-consul on
October 22, 1918, and only after a
little more than a year's service was
tlmuo'ht fit and able to assume.
