A Child of the Liquor Trusts
John H. Small, the former congremman from this
district, and trust attorney-lobbyist, seems to be
earning his money as representative of the liquor
people. Although he announced his residence as
Washington, D. C., something like a year ago, yet
nothing can happen in North Carolina either in busi
ness or in politics but what he is down here blabbing
for the whiskey trust headed by Raskob, Dupont and
Co. who have designed already the establishment of a
great whiskey and beer trust like unto which the
world has never before seen.
Mr. Small has butted into conventions, and now he
is trying to butt into the North Carolina Bar associa
tion with his whiskey rabble. " c >
Small is smart. While he was paid to represent
the people in Congress for 20 years, apparently he
represented the corporate interests instead. He has.
no doubt has been a pest ioz many > ears to the people
who thought he «ra« their iriend, for it is more or less
evident now thai he was against them rather than
for there
It would be just recompense to expel him from the
State rather than to allow him to come among us as
the agent of selfish grafters who are trying to head us
deeper into the mire.
Striking at Two Educational Institutions
It is beginning to appear as if somebody is trying
to knife our State educational institutions, and that
our State College, where we have spent four and one
half millions for equipment and educate about 2,000
students annually, and our Woman's college at Greens
boro, where we have a similar investment and where
we educate about the same number of girls, are both
about to be abandoned to the bats.
Governor Gardner recommended a consolidation of
these schools with the State University, which appear
ed to be a very wise undertaking in Order to cheapen
costs and avoid duplications of courses. The plan was
to combine the engineering schools at Raleigh and at
Chapel Hill into one.
Governor Gardner went to Chicago and brought
Mr. Works, an educational expert, back to tell him
how to reorganize the system. But to the deep
humility of the people of North Carolina, Mr. Works
suggests making the University a very high-powered

institution where the wealthy may go and engage in
the theories of things, and at the same time virtually
abandon State College at Raleigh and Woman's col
lege at Greensboro, two institutions that have made
their impress on the home, the agricultural, the
T)usin«ss and the economic lifeof the Staler
People think Governor Gardner should keep his
promise to the three schools by holding them intact,
rather than placing himself in the hands of a Chicago
University man who has high-powered theories, but
perhaps a no better line of sound, sensible reasoning
of what the people of North Carolina need than they
know themselves.
Our State needs more people to know how to make
a living, and certainly State College and the North
Carolina College for Women at Greensboro have done
more along that line than any other of theiristitutions
in our State.
If Mr. Work succeeds in destroying our colleges at
Raleigh and Greensboro then let the legislature re
store them. >
Should Harmonize
It may be that there is a little too much being said
by some newspapers about the recent primary candi
dates. Since all candidates, both those who won and
those who lost, seem to be on good terms, it is doubt
ful if it is good for anybody to keep nagging and
oftening up more sores. It can't help those who won,
and it is cowardly to kick those who have lost.
It is just and proper to exalt the strength and to
exploit the weakness of candidates before they are
chosen in the primary or general election, after which
all the people should act together in one common
cause. I
Before we get good government we must harmonize
the forces of truth and justice. We can't do it by
pointing out the weaknesses of our friends. This habit
of nagging has broken up many homes and weakened
political parties.
Senator F. M. Simmons
Carl Goerch, in The Washington Progress.
Somebody, at some time or other, made the asser
tion that an honest confession is good for the soul.
If (hat is- so, then I'd like to make a confession
with respect to the attitude which I—together with
many North Carolinians—took with respect to
former Senator F. M. Simmons in 1928.
I abused Senator Simmons through the columns of
my paper; I inferred that he was a traitor to his party;
I intimated that he was disloyal to the people who
had stood by him for many years and whose feelings
he should have considered; I hinted at a great many
other things.
1 wish to say that I am honestly ashamed of what
I wrote and said at that time. It has taken me al
most four years to obtain an accurate opinion con
cerning Senator Simmons and what he did during the
Alfred E. Smith campaign. As I see things today,
Furnifold M. Simmons is one of the greatest living
men that North Carolina ever has produced. Instead
of reviling him for his stand in 1928, I can now ad
mire him for what he did. I can appreciate his view
point and I can understand his actions at that time.
Senator Simmons was eternally and everlastingly right.
Alfred E. Smith was not the man for President of the
United States. He never was and never can be. Sen
ator Simmons had the courage to express his convic
tions. Shrewd politician that he was, he knew with
out doubt that his stand would mean his political
death. But he never hesitated; he never wavered.
He did his duty as he saw it, and he did it fearlessly.
I admire Senator Simmons. I admire him just as
heartily today as I abused him in 1928. Somehow
or other—although I am not in a position to speak for
any one else—lbelieve that there are a great many
other people in North Carolina who feel exactly as I
do about him.
