' WEB.STER ON COMMUNISM. SHOULD APOLOGIZE RATHER THAN REBUKE. -4 /• . V Last week Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic nominee tor President in 1928, let it be known that he had a messap to give to the pres& which he would release Monday of this . week, and true to his promise, he did give out a statement to the press which was broadcast “over' tht 'As.socia;te(t Ppss net work ill Mbnday's dailies of '•-U'.e country. In this statement •• Mr. Smith let it be known that he still has his eye on t)ie White House. He would not have his friends believe that he intends to grab the nomina tion and run away with it, but if they want to hand it to him «n a silver platter he will glad ly accept it and will then get into the thick of the fight to win the election. Among other things, Mr. Smith said: “By action of the Democratic national convention of 1928, I am the leader of mr party in the nation.” These words coming from the former Democratic nominee show that Alfred E. Smith is not yet steady to release his on the Democratic party and that he must be reckoned with. Following the Smith state ment, many of the Democratic papers who w'ere _ for Smith tooth and toenail in 1928 ai e now expressing surprise and indignation at Smith’s attitude. But what we want, to know is what ails Al now? He was alright in 1928, and so far as we are able to see at this dis tance he has not veered mate rially from the course in which he was headed in 1928. We now hear that there is The name communi.sm probably is le.ss than one hundred years old, but the thing represented by the name has been in existence, even here in the United States, longer ago than that. Here is an extract from an address before the United States Senate by Daniel Webster more than a century ago and it read.s as if it might have been writ ten yesterday: There are per.sons who con stantly clamor. They complain of oppression, speculation, and the pernicious influence of accumulat ed wealth. They cry out loudly against all hanks and corporations, and all the mean.s by which small capitals become united, in order to produce important and beneficial, result.s, They carry on a mad hos tility against all 'established insit- tutlons. They would choke up the fountains of industry, and dry all its streams. In a country of unbounded liber ty, they clamor against oppres sion. In a country of perfect equality, they would move heaven and earth against privilege and monopoly. In a country where ^ property is more equally divided than anywhere else, they rend the air with the shouting of argarian doctrines. In a country where the wages of labor are high beyond all par allel, and where lands are cheap, and the means of living low, they would teach the laborer that he is but an oppressed slave. What can such men want? What do they mean ? They can want nothing but to enjoy the fruits of other men’s labdf: They can mean nothing but disturbance flift’usion of cur- Three Years For 20c To the first 100 people sending us $1.20 each we will send THE JOHNSTONIAN-SUN ONE YEAR AND THE SOU'^HERN AGRICULTURIST THREE YEARS / This applies to new or old subscribers alike.

Smith in an effort to prove that he was the logical candi date to be President of these United States. Of course those office-holding Smith supporters in 1928 could not convince the people that all they said in praising Al Smith was true, and later saw him go down in defeat in the Old North State under an ave- lanche of votes, and it appears that they are now I’eady to turn about face and brand him as unworthy of the Presidency; ■>ui before i.liey do this they sV - uld r-.tump the state again a-id .lak” apologies to the peo ple for l..■■eir statements of i, . ■f-' mad^- about Al in lu^.'i —■ ; '--.ev accused H-m of p -s- FINEST CITY IN 'THE WORLD When George Washington was Pre.sident he planned to build a great and beautiful 'city for the Capital of the Nation. But plans to carry; out these intentions did not begin to materialize until a few years, ago, -when the first big appropria-: tions were made by Congress. ■ ; After the depression hit the nation in 1929 there seemed to be a un animous opinion that “now is the time” to start an immense Govern ment building program in the Capital City; thus reaffirming the old doct rine that “there is no great loss but what there is sonie small gain.
