The Judge Parker Confirmation Battle With the subcommittee re porting favorably to the senate judiciary committee on confir mation of President Hoover's nomination of Judge John J. Parker for associate justice of the Supreme Court, supporters of the North Carolina jurist yes terday won the second major skirmish in the interesting poli tical battle being waged over the appointment. Opposition to Judge Parker is intense on the part of. the Amer ican Federation of Labor of ficials and the organized negro vote President Green of the labor forces has urged President Hoover 6 withdraw Judge Par ker's nomination because "he has shown judicial bias against the working people of the coun try and thaj, if confirmed, he would carry, to the court views and opinions hostile to labor." A memorandum issued by the department of justice Sunday seems from this distance to have pretty effectually spiked Presi dent Green's guns. The labor prexy is basing his campaign against Judge Parker on the lat ter's decision in the proceedings against the United Mine Work ers several years ago the fam ous ,or infamous, "Yellow Dog" case. This disputed decision was a case appealed by the mine workers from a district court decision granting an injunction in the suit brought by the Red Jacket Consolidated , Coal and Coke Company of West Vir ginia. President Green , com plains that Judge Parker upheld the "Yellow Dog contracts," articles of agreement between employers and employees by which the' latter subscribe not to join a union while under con tract. But the department of justice memorandum has rather defin itely absolved Judge Parker from charges of bias in arriv-j ing at this decision. Quoting from the memorandum: "There does not appear to be a point decided in the Red Jacket case on which Judge Parker 'as sumed to exercise any indepen dent judgment or opinion. In holding the contracts valid and that peaceable efforts to induce the non-union men to break them were properly enjoined, he merely quoted rulings to that effect in the Hitchman case. Nowhere are pressed or indicat ed any personal views about any of these questions. He had no freedom of judgment on any of them; he was bound by the de cisions of the Supreme Court, which he could not refuse to fol low." The negro opposition has been practically dropped by the forces fighting the Parker con firmation. It is fortunate for the Republican, party in North Carolina that this point has not been pressed otherwise the Republicans would have stood a splendid chance of losing all of their recently-gained prestige in this state. It has been demon strated on innumerable occa sions that North Carolinians, both white and black, do not take kindly to the injection of the race issue into political con troversies. And there have been no real indications that Judge Parker has ever exhibited bias against negroes in his decisions or in his statements, public or private. North Carolinians are being treated to something which they have been denied for almost a decade the spectacle of a na tive of this state engaging as the central figure in a major con flict within the Republican par ty ranks. The Parker political battle is a heated affair, and the fact that the judge is a resident of Asheville and an alumnus of the University makes it es pecially interesting hereabouts. Chapel Hillians in particular are "whooping it up" for the judge. Confirmation of his ap pointment would boost the stock of the administration at Wash ington considerably in these parts and it could stand quite a bit of boosting. The Exaggeration Of The Talkie No one can deny that the vita phone has lifted the art of the silver screen to a much higher level than it was formerly cred ited with. The motion pictures now put before the public are, on the average, of a considera ble better standard than the old silent versions of love and in trigue and romance and adven ture. One has only to mention such recent successes as "Anna Christie" and "The Taming of the Shrew" to reveal the heights of the dramatic and the comic to which the ambitious producer may now aspire ; then there is the sensation, of a year ago, "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney," the brilliant dialogue of which delighted the theatre goer who had become sated with slap stick. But one of the outstanding weaknesses of the talkie is the gross exaggeration of which they are sometimes guilty. This is especially noticeable in the picturized scenes of the South land, the Dixie of romance and tradition. In the scenarios deal ing with life below the Mason Dixon line the energetic direc tors and producers have over reached themselves, and as a consequence the dialogue of these charmingly idyllic pictures of existence in the southern states is so distorted as to be come laughable. Several good motion pictures and a number of mediocre ones have been ruin ed by the lavish use of"Ah's" and "youall's" and "suh's" in an obviously affected drawl sup posed to be a life like imitation THE DAILY of typically slow, honeyed speech as it is spoken in the south. Mary Pickford in "Coquette"! was a little noticeable for the affectation of her speech, but the dialogue of some of the oth er characters was grotesque. Perhaps John Mack Brown once spoke as a native Ala baman but Hollywood has ruined him until now he sounds like the laziest and most illiterate darkie. And so it goes on, with Holly wood fondly imagining itself to be in the right ; and southern audiences continue to laugh good humoredly at the indis tinct mouthings with which they are being, bombarded. There is nothing like color to make any kind of production realistic, or at least in keeping with the surroundings in which it is laid.v But color should by all means be authentic, and he sooner people in other sections of the country learn that there is really no appreciable differ ence between the speech man nerisms of the south thantheir own, the quicker the disillusion ing process will be over and an other, perfectly good tradition will have been laid quietly to rest. R. H. Lenten Season Daily Devotion Tuesday, April 15 "Evil Its Own Destroyer." (Read Luke 10 : 17-24) Key Verse: "I beheld Satan fallingUf his through this column as the lightening from heaven." ; Meditation: "When Faust asked Mephistophles s who he was, Mephistophles replies that "he was part of a power that was always willing evil but al ways doing good." His efforts were constantly being defeated by the more powerful spirit of goodness that dwells in this uni verse. Shakespeare's tragedies are based on this idea. Giant evil deeds are always coming back upon the heads of the transgressor. Evil is never fin ally victorious. It has within itself the seeds of its own de struction. The 'moral order of the world is. too much for it. There is a backbone of right eousness in the universe. The presence of evil in the world is frequently cited as an argument against faith in a righteous universe. But evil that is ever being . destroyed by itself, and defeated by the power of good, becomes a mighty argument for faith. Prayer: O thou refuge of the human spirit, help us to rest in the unclouded sense of Thy con quering righteousness. Thou art mightier than all evil. Thy strength is within and behind our feeble efforts, making our weakness a part of Thy might and a share in Thy final victory. Amen. VIRGINIA STUDENTS STORM MOVIE SHOW A spectacular though prob ably unsuccessful demonstration was carried on last Wednesday night by the students of the Uni versity of Virginia, in which a thousand or more boys paraded the streets of Charlottesville and stormed the Jefferson Theatre as a protest against admission charges to the playhouse. The crowd that blocked Main street for more than an hour and plas tered the front of the theatre with eggs when they found it guarded by police, would not re turn to the University until they were asked to do so by President Edwin A. Alderman of the Uni versity and the theatre man ager. The honorary degree of Doc tor of Laws was conferred upon Woodrow Wilson, then governor of New Jersey, by the Univer sity in .1911. MR HEEL john mebane . The identity of the "Copy Cat," a certain feline columnist on the N. C. C. W. Carolinian, was revealed at a banquet re cently held for the members of the staff of that publication. It is reported that when tea was served instead of milk a mew was heard from one end of the table followed by the indignant protest that tea was for women and weaklings and that con tented cows were the country's greatest assets. $ $ $ S. & S., two gentlemen who write a . column in the Duke Chronicle," have given up puns in order to lend their column to propaganda for the extinction of bean blight or something of the sort. Which is an excellent thing to do since puns have been banned from polite society. The last time we attempted to pun, it was on a horse. And, needless to say, we got a kick out of it. Horses just don't have a sense of humor. $ $. Bill Horney, who wears a mustache, and who won a race the other day, wishes sto com municate to some lady friends (which he assures us is read by the majortiy of students at N. C. C. W., Meredith, Bryn Mawr, and the School for the Blind). The following is Bill's statement of his, grievances: "Having noticed last week-end a young lady on the campus of the North Carolina College for Women, I approached her and asked her if she would like to take a lit tle outing with me that night. And, as she was accompanied by two friends, out of sheer goodnessNof heart, I asked them along. Having obtained a fav orable reply, I promised to meet them on the corner of Tate Street at 8 o'clock. I was prompt and faithful in arriving at the suggested corner, and it was not long before the trio showed up with blushes and excuses ( the latter being a favorite device of that sex). They said that they would be unable to go with me owing to the fact that they were compelled to return to the campus in ten minutes, which, whether or not it was a true statement, was nevertheless a sad one as I had already set my heart on treating them to a short talk on the constancy of woman. Grieved as I was at this shatter ing of my hopes, I was yet more grieved when the yoUng lady whom I especially admired made no apologies to me. Now I would like to ask you is that right? If the aforesaid young la&y would like to communicate her apologies to me, I shall be glad to have her do so at any time in the near future." (paid adv.) $ $ We sincerely regret the fact that Bill has lost his faith in women. But Bill, being a track star, should have known better before this : he's been on enough laps. But a man who kept his faith as long as Bill should be con gratulated as well as condoled. $ $ . : Quite honestly, though, this column is non-partisan and will be glad to receive communica tions from either sex, the col umnist reserving the right to censor before publishing. ' ' $ $ $ ' -However, communications about this columnist, in particu lar, will be accounted slander if ' possible. REWCENSES From the Tar Heel Files By Howard M.
