Quite right, as all but a minority including the chief justice will agree; but how about double-taxing the eitiren's mortgaged home ! Business men of North Carolina and neighboring states in looking after their business have come into frequent contact with Interstate . Commerce Commissioner Eastman, looking after his; and it is familiar enough knowledge amongst the ' former" that the latter knows his business. He has -in his mind -the whole fabric of a mass of testimony and argument relative to freight tariff business that affects the busi ness of this territory and involves millions of dollars; and his removal from this commission at this time would for this reason be but short of calamitous, no matter how good a man might be put-in his place,, or how adept in the mysteries of the '' freight business. For these reasont ' people 'of thi section who are li ' position to know moat of the matte ' are hopeful that the senate will speedily confirm Mr. Harding's ap pobitment of Mr. Eastman to sue ceed himself. . ' . ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD SCAN . ' DAL. Another scandal has broken out in Hollywood. A moving picture actor of national reputation has been !IL and through somebody in discretion it has become known that his illness is what used to be refer red to in the old, nnregenerate days, as "the iimmies," Th fellow,, in addition .to patronising what evi dently must have been' highly un reliable bootleggers, had been flirt ing with narcotic drags; .and. they came witnm an ace or putting him underground. i, " That sort' of thing is common enough. In fact, -right here in Greensbor there ar various insti tutions that have flourished for a long time on the business of fur. nishing pick-me-ups to citisens with particularly bad hangovers. If this man had been a realtor, or a trav tiling salesman, or an insurance agent, the world would have re marked casually, "Well, I under stand John Doe's seeing 'em again," and proceeded to a discussion of the prospects of getting"a new postoffice for Greensboro. But it happens that he is a movie actor. Therefore his case is worth countless columns in the news papers, and produces a flood of res olutions from religious and civic organisations the country over. In vestigations are called for, and dark hints are thrown out regarding the menace that Hollywood holda over the morals of the American people. One drunken hop-head engages a greater share of the attention of the nation than the entire Lausanne conference. It may be objected that what ex cites the public is not this particular ease, bat the fact that it is but the latest in a long series of spectacular and extraordinarily gross violations of the moral code by the inhabitants of Hollywood. There was the case of the womarr-who drank bichloride of mercury in Paris after cocaine had mad her life unendurable; then tho Arbuckle affair; then the shooting of the director; then the hammer murder; and now this case. Not only do the movie people seem to regard the moral code lightly, but their violations seem to involve always women,, cocaine or liquor, if not an three. They are not only immoral they are swinish.) But what could you expectt Think what is requisite to success ful movie acting a handsome face and figure, and muscles well under control. The director, who never appears in the picture, doe the brain work. The actor haa only to obey his commands, and the trick is turned. Yet these people, purely oa account of their physical char acteristics, draw immense sums of money and are subjected to the fearfully corrosive action of public adulation. Never having had occa sion to develop their brain capac ity, why should they have brains? But when brainless people ara given huge sums of money, they always tend to drift nto peculiarly gross and disgusting follies. We venture to doubt that the inhabitants of Hollywood are essen tially worse than the average for the country. They are simply eursed with wealth that they do not know how to use; and ,ignorant ef the finer things of life, incapable of spiritual or intellectual pleasures, they seek the pleasures of the senses, which their money brings within their grasp. Some day, perhaps, we shall have moving pictures that exact some thing from the actor, thereby draw ing a higher type of intelligence into the business. That may not make the profession any more moral; but it will certainly make it more dis creet. ENTER DR. FEW, WITHA ROLL THAT WOULD CHOICE A REGIMENT OF HORSES. It has been an open secret for months that the Rockefeller foun dation has some money that it might put into a medical and sur gical clinical institution in North Carolina, and that Watts hospital at Durham had received some sort ef proposition. Perhaps, .but not certainly, the Rockefeller founda tion people have especially in mind prophylactic education. The newer demand is for public sanitarians. The University of North Cam. Una was sitting in a little game the day before yesterday when Presi- aent rew, of the Methodists' Trin ity college, appeared with four million dollars of Rockefeller money and four million of Duke money, me equivalent or four aces. The University four-years medical school and clinical hospital imme diately went to sleep for the dfsig- naieu. period of two vean- .W along with it went Charlotte's fond aream if the metaphor be not too badly strained. The- president of Trinitv inrfH made offer whereby everybody could oin in ana participate, some state oney to be thrown 'in along with h Watts Presbyterian money, the duke Methodist money and the Sockefeller money which, although riginaUy Baptist, by the time it i il ers through the general education oard and th Rockefeller founda !on has no denominational signifi ance. But we reckon Dr. Few 4ows the North Carolina Baptists s well as we do,, at least; now jany there are of them and how much chance there is that they will ever agree to the investment . of North Carolina tax money on the Trinity campus. Rev. Dr. Charles E. Brewer at once told the Raleigh News and Observer that the. Baptist people were "against it in principle and would never agree to anything that smacked of nnion of church and state," and that he spoke un officially; nevertheless, Dr. Brewer, to give the term an expression of the extreme vernacular, said it. It is disclosed that Dr. Few has been working for years toward the establishment at Durham ' of great educational hospital. " He had just got things in shape in time to explode a bombshell under the University plans. Charlotte had, no. doubt, been hoping that James B. Duke as a Charlotte resident would some day do something hand some for the University medical school that Charlotte hoped to get; but B. M. Duke was ranged along with Dr. Few, and Benjamin urged J. B. to "give your money while you are here to see the good of it" Charlotte, had really lost interest in th proceedings before the climax, for three of the five of the trustee committee had voted tor Chapel Hili against Charlotte.. Onr own notion is that whatever prevents the establishment of a full medical course at Chapel Hill saves the state from that which it would have cause to regret . Dr. Few is sitting pretty, with eight million dollars with which to build a medical school, with a dis tinctive purpose. There are whole companies of citisens, lay and pro fessional, who insist stoutly that a medical school in North Carolina is out of th question. The budget committee and the university trus tees ar in agreement that any f foA on the part of the university will have to, be postponed for two years, on account of other present educational demands. Trinity will go aifead, leaving the offer open. with eight million dollars for build ing, it is not clear where anything like a commensurate amount will come from for maintenance and operation. The proposal that the state should Join in if seriously pressed will evoke a" major conflict; but there will be two years for that to organise and develop. Which also, no doubt, is well. TIMELY EXPRESSION OF NEIGHBORLY INTEREST. ! It is recorded that the "huAwavi council of the Chamber of Com merce of Winston-Salem will use! it influence for the construction of a pavement between that metropoli tan city and Greensboro, the same being a portion of the Boone Trail highway, state highway route No. 60, from. Wilmington to the Ten nessee line near- Boone; and the same influence to continue the con struction from Winston-Salem on to Mount Airy. It 'i assumed that the sentiment of the highway council will be the sentinients of the chamber itself. This manifestation of. a dmire for closer relations with Greensboro and this section of Guilford, com tag along with the season of peace and good will and neighborliness, can hardly fail 0f a hapjjy effect In this vicinity, where th hope will be entertained that Winston-Salem interest in the eastern part of the route is genuine, and not merely incidental to its Interest in the western end. In a simpler and earlier Hav when communities were in posses sion of more initiative and charged wim more responsibilities in such enterprises, Greensboro and Guil ford gave evry evidence of a hos pitable disposition in this very re spect Our chamber of commerce resolved, wrth seal and unction, and to more practical effect an did our county authorities, who of fered to lend the state the money; and the Forsyth authorities at that time appeared to be equally, anx ious that the road be built with the least delay. Guilforo offer stood open month after month, and Greensboro continued to call for action. A silence had supervened at the other end of the line. . The state highway commission began to be in possession of funds of its own. Commissioner Cox anno'uncad th High Point to Ashboro project It required some little time for Greensboro to realize what had hsp- pened; that, and the High Point to Winston-balem road. The latter project is now complete, and the construction of the former well ad vanced. The revivication of this Route 60 enterprise is timely, and we trust the Forsyth brethren may continue and. abide in that frame of mind, this time. The voice of counties, ana oi towns, even the biggest towns, is no longer so potent in these matters, since the state com mission no longer needs to borrow money from localities to be bene fited ; but that body still lends an at tentive and respectful ear to the petitions of the people. The Route 60 projects have no chance what ever under the 50 million dollar au thorization; that was the other day stretched the fcetter part of half a million dollars, and surely will not endure many more similar attenua tions. But there is not in the state a more logical project for the sup plemental authorization, thin the ureensboro to Winston-Salem por GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS,- tiori of the Boone Trail line (what ever may be said as to the rest of ;'-'..
