APPOINTMENT OF SLEMP N
AS PRIVATE SECRETARY.
Keen Disappointment to Ckizeus of
"i 1 AH'Parties.- '*« 111 i
Special Correspondence.
Washington, Aug. 2G.rrr-T h k
appointment of C. Bascom Slainp
to be private secretary t®"th4
President" surprised and shocked
' lh6' eta tire country! To the better
element of t'lie Republican party
ft, brdhght keen disappointment!
and by all citizens of all political
parties who hoped aud expected
that I'residept Coolidgp would pui
his ad-ministration a high
plane from the outlet, the ap
pointment.of Slemp ia sincerely
deplored.
The trafficking in offices by a
certain element of Republican
leaders, especially in the South
ern States, has long been a na
tional scaudal. Such office job
bery in politics is even more rep
rehensible than Newbeo-ryism
which the American people so
strongly repudiated at the polls
in 1922. In December of tha£
same year, Mr. Sleinp. then a'Coh
grfssmata from the Ninth District
of V : rg!nia and the Republican
National Committeeman from that
State, was exposed by Congress-
man T. \V. Harrison of Virginia
in a series of letters writteu by
Slemp and his secretary, L. B.
Howard, to B. R. Powell, thfc Re
publican referee in that State, 1 lu
connection with post-officft and
other appointments attQ' 'thtt'
lection pf uiouey frlpliri applicants
for those offices. When the ex
posure was made it was claimed
that the money collected WHS for
political purposes, but the moral
Qurpitude existed just the same.,,
The appointment of Mr.
necessarily carries with it an en
dwweineirtjOf offioeiiijobbenyiiiin
politics through official recogni
tion of the nrOSt'conspicuous Re
publican leader of the South
whose cofcnectidn therewith has
been made a matter of public roc-
ortl cm tUe floor of Congress. , r
Jsven some close friends
Cool i dge ad mi n istratiou feel thatj
the Presidont haH made a great
mistake by this appointment.
The office of Secretary to the
President is 1-egarded by many as
more important and more influen
tial than that of! a Cabinet officer.
Until this appointment was made
there was a general inoliijatiou in)
all quarters to withhold criticism
of the adipiuisitratipfl.
The Democratip,
mittee had announced that,
would only judge President Cool
idg'e in the light of Events ae ; th£y
happen, but it construed this Ap
pointment as a challenge to criti
cism not only from Democrats,
but fhjm' the bstte> : eiMA6ht of
the Republican party.' Thecals!
no disposition now Among Demo
crats to do more than eall atteri-i
; ion to the.ifiacta in the Case in
view of the poflbibility that Pc«s
ident Coolidge may have been the
victim of bad adyice r pfill
has time to correct the ej.rorjipd
to remove the shadow of the scan •
dal which has fallen upon ihe'flrst
days of his administration.

REV. JEREMIAH W. HOLT.
December 7, 3, 1923
i A Tribute by NTfii. Thbrntiwi Whitsett.
For fortyi»i'r i y i ars Ref. Jere
miah W. Hols was *a well ktaown
minister Sta tile NWth Cahrtina-
Virgini* ChHstiatt ConfehStace,
and had preached at Variouk times
throughout the churches bf the
Piedmont section:"" 'Bdt-n ''near
Burlington, Alamance'cotarity, Ni
C., he grew to-yotiug manhood
without educational advantages,
save thosfc"'cHFerfcd by 'tire' locat
schools. Whea he determined to
enter the niiuisitry he entered
Graham Normal College, and later
went to Rutherford College, in
order to prepare himself for Ins
life's work.
His education being completed,
he settled near Uurlington where
he made nis home throughout his
[life, and entered upon an un
usually active life's work. For
thirty years lie oouducted a school
[near his home, and many oi the
leading men and women of»-Ms
section well remember' hi> r as 1
t ftlt'lm 11 andconscicn ions teacher.
HLH work in the mthooi-room WHS
never a.) loved to lutwrfero with
his preaching, but every Saturday
and Suuday iouud him active IU
.Lis church work, au J his pulpit
was seldom vacant.- Living in a
day when roads were poor, and
automobiles had not come into
use, he umde long drives with his
horse anil buggy to reach his ap
poiutmenis in Orange, Alamance
aud Guilford counties.
c- Perhaps, the outstanding trait
iu his lite may be said to be his
intense devotion to the cause of
tetaper&nce. Early deciding that
«h6 curse of strong drink should l
be blotted out, he waged a war
fare throughout his life against!
tlifc evils of strong drink. His
speeches on the subject of tein-j
perance wore logical, strong,, aud
effective. He gave no quartern
md asked none iu his warfare.
His position being so much iu ad
vauce of the thought, of hist lines,
he was ofteu crifcroixod, and even
ridiculed for his intenso devotion
to what seemed a hopeless cause,
but it made no difference with
him, the warfare was continued.
Time has viudicated the wisdom
of his views, and he lived to see
hi* KU»as made uitb law, an 1 in
active opekvtti on. At one lime he
was a , c»ud idat® for Governor of
Noxth Carolina vu Ike Prohibit ion
ticket ; not , Lhat he desired to
entor a political life, but that he
was tviliiug to , stand pbe.ily aud,
Publicly -for ilie vital cause so'
tteftr to li 16 heart.'
After seventy fWe years "of
valiant) warfare iu tho causes or'
right be- passed iw peace"to ri i«'
filial reward. Gatheied for his;
funeral was au iuiinenee congre
gation, largely made up of former
studentq, cjiurcfe ineuibeit>, uud s
those with whom fie had v» long,
labored. The services cotvj
ducted from U)6 Burlington,
