THE GLEANER GRAHAM, N. 0.. SEPT. 15, 1938 IMC ID KTXBT THUBEDAT J. D. KERNODLE, Editor <1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE ICnteral M Um PoMoaet at Ombi m. M. C., u Moond-clua ggiUtr. Conservative/ Liberal, Oi ? Whether the several branch es of the American Government shall remain separate and inde pendent as provided for in the Constitution upon which the Union was founded and has en dured for more than a century and a half is being put to the teet. The wise men who wrote the fundamental law did it deliber ately, not hurriedly. They meant it for a guide for suc ceeding generations, not as a makeshift that might be chang ed to fit the whims of some <"-ne who, perchance, obsessed of bid own superior wisdom, or for selfish reasons, should find fault, and essay to do it better and in a better wAy. Hum it up as you may, the Chief Executive finds fault with the fundamental law, in that it circumscribes h i s duties and powere and limits his ambitions. If the founders had intended that the Legislative and Judi cial branches should conform to the wishes of the Executive and do his bidding, they would have said so, but they did not by im plication or otherwise. If they had said otherwise they would not have promulgated the fun damentals for a democracy, but a dictatorship and autocracy, or a despotism. With the Legisla tive and Judicial branches con forming to wishes and notions of the Executive, the Govern ment would be reduced to a dictatorship, maybe something wone. With their independence gone, the Legislative and Judi cial branches would be reduced to the rubber stamp level. No credit for the worthwhile things he has done should be withheld from the President. He came along when business was bogged, bankruptcy ram pant, and millions walked the streets in idleness and unem ployment and other millions in a land of plenty did not know where the next morsel would come from. Social security has been pro vided for lavishly, but not all. Billions have been spent in the effort. The worthy and the unworthy have shared in the bounty ? the unworthy, if possi ble, should be eliminated, but it is they Who would cry loudest. As for the others ye "have al ways," and as a decent people, worthy the name of a nation, they must be provided for. The Government at Washing ton has been provided with the funds and given a free hand in ?pending until inside of six years the national debt has been increased around 90 billions and is now over 40 billions. Be cause there are men, patriots, in the Senate and House, whs think for the solvency and safe ty of the Government, and op pose what the President is pleased to call liberalise^, he has undertaken to "purge" them from their places in the legists tive body, and replace them with the rubber stamp sort, yes-men, that he may pro ceed unhampered in his expert IB Mi. Ha went off on a jannt through the West and orated In behalf of the friendly ones. After a trip at sea, he came back through the canal and in vaded Georgia. There he pat up a liberal to oust Senator George. The primary was held yesterday and Camp, the Pres ident's protege, was swamped Over in Maryland the President staked another against Senator Tydings, conservative, who fared no better than his Geor gia favorite. These recent political events have punctured and badly crip pled the President's prestige. The people who vote have spok en in no uncertain terms. They have resented being told for whom they should vote and, doubtless, have tired of the wasteful ezpendiutre of billions. At the beginning of his sec ond term the President had the unbounded confidence of the American people. He proposed to reorganize and make over the Government. 1 There were patriots who would not stand for it. Other things could be cited that have impeded. He has not profited by his mistakes, and that he has waned in pop ularity during the past year and a half beyond repair, is be cause he has disregarded the signals. Yonng Democrats In Convention The State convention of North Carolina Young Democrats in Durham last week was one of the year's political highlights in the State. They gathered from all parts of the State and made an impressive aggregation. The first hurdle of conse quence was the report of t h e committee on resolutions, which is supposed to say something abont political affairs in the high brackets. Here the com mittee almost balked. The 100 percenters and the antis were in evidence and only faint praise for the President was accorded . But the event that has been given more notice than any thing else was the spee ch of Senator Josiah William Bailey. Mr. Bailey did not mince words in his criticism of the ex periments being made by the Administration and the activi ties of the President and his aids in the various political campaigns on lately. He said they were "nosing" into State politics and out of their place. The Young Democrats knew that he would handle things with glovee off, or, perhaps they would not have invited him to speak. If so, they were not disappointed. If he had sugar coated and soft - soaped they would have been disapi>ointed and nauseated. The organiza tion was formed on the political battlefield a number of years ago and it is militant. On the other hand, had not Mr. Bailey been plain and out spoken, as he has been since be took issue with some of the President's New Deal proposals, those who have criticized most severely would have turned on him for lack of courage and trying to carry favor. So there you are ? "you'll be damned if you do and you'll be damned if you don't." The oonvention for the ensu ing year elected the following officers: Gordon Gray, presi dent; Mias Kate Fenner Ur quhart, vice-president; Allen Marshall, secretary; Joseph Moore, treasurer. Harper Barnes of Graham, former head of the Alamanoe county organ isation, was chosen district vice-chairman, embracidg the counties of the Sixth Congres sional district Bj virtue of this office he is a member of the State executive committee. The general business of the of the country is reported on the up grade. President Roosevelt has been a consistant loser in bis at tempted "purge." The Sena tors have wjn renominations over his protest. His prestage is badly deflated. The gods of war are on pa rade in Europe and bristli ng in armor. Unless there is a lot of composing, a second world war may be lannched. About every nation is armed to the teeth, the military spirit is ram pant, and they may be fool hardy enough to want to test the new equipment. Gods of the Harvest Secretary Henry A. Wallace came into the New Deal as a dis contented Iowa Republican. He brought with him a plan of his own, part of it on trial and called it "experiment". It finally came to be known as the Ever Normal Granary. The great truth that "man proposes, God disposes," has warped the Wallace granary, as the boundless yields of crops trlut the markets and give one a dull, sickening pain in the pit, as he rends the daily market prices offered for the golden grain, the snow white cotton, the tasseled corn, the sustaining potato, and other products of the farm. Wallace challenges the farmers challenges them to face and con quer the new challenge. He de clares, with apparent confidence, the farmer can still win. We all hope that he is right. ? News Service. How Men Progress and Succeed The eternal verities for prog ress and success in life ? particu larly the adage that "man lives by the sweat of his brow" ? holds as true today as ever, in spite of the theories of recent years. A parent of wisdom 50 or 100 years ago undoubtedly gave the same advice as the parent of wis dom today. If you lei your mem ories fto back to some of the good advice given you in childhood, you will readily recognize the fundamental elements for prog ress and suocess given by B. D. Kunkle, director o f the manufac turing staff of General Motors, to the graduating classes of the Qen eral Motors Institute, recently in Flint, Michigan. "Bard work ia still the main characteristic by which men pro gress and succeed", Mr. Kunkle s.iid. "And always keep in mind that ability to get along with oth ers and to gain their goodwill ia essential to the achievement of any large degree of success in life. "Many people mistakenly be lieve that progress is made thrn personal consideration, and thrn influence, but it is my observation the men who hold the places of importance today, have achieved those places through sheer weight of their own ability. "They have progressed by do ing the things that come to their hands to do, better. Their prog ress has not been achieved in one dramatic move. They have accu mulated consideration by the suc cessful filling of less important achievements." McGuffy readers contained such fundamental tried and proved wisdom. Mr. Kunkle's concluding optim ism is .likewise refreshing : "In dustry needs yonth, needs its vi sion, its fresh viewpoint, its cour age and enthusiasm, for industry is essentially progressive and only through constant renewal of cre ative thought and driving enter prise can it progress." ?

The Integrity of The Americas By J. E. Joaes Washington, D. C? Sept. 1J ? TJ>* early anceatrv of the Good Neigh bor Policy mav be traced back t0 the Administration of President Monroe, who proclaimed his lasting "doctrine." The enduring friend - ship between the Americas is sym bolized by a marble oullding In Washington, Among the throngs of dally visitors in thjs showp'.ace a~e ma*y teen, women and children om the Republics of the South. They cherish this building, with its tropical atmosphere as part of their own partnership in all America. The Pan-American Union is an official international organization of 21 American Republics whose major purpose is to increase and develop p^ace, friendly intercourse, and com merce. It Is controlled by a governing board composed of the Secretary of state o f the United State* and the diplomatic represen'a tives in Washington of 'other ' republics. j When Prank B. Kellogg was secretary of state Jn 1926 ' the Pan-American Union took notice of the blunt statement of the Ameri can Secretary towards Mexico, cha?g in? it with confiscation of Amer ican farm lands in way that placed that cantankerous Repub lic) "on trial before the Test of the World." The complaint smould ered through all these years, anVJ the debts have never been paid. Ironing out Hitf?reneea with the Southern Republics has usually been affected through painless di plomatic procedure. Secretary of . State Hull is a master in the arts of friendly compromises, and here ceived the plaudits of all Ameri cas in the apparent successes o f the Inter-American Conference at Buenos Aires In December, 1938, which resulted in the United Styes Senate "ratifying two treaties and five conventions and one protocol with the representalves of the other 20 American Republics. Thus the integrity of the Americas was reaffirmed, Now the Americas face a new test. It Is: Can the inte grity of all America be preserv ed, with' Communism rampant In Latin America, r But Black, Tan, Other Colon No one knows th? exact origin of the Chihuahua, a graceful, ewlft moving little dog that may weigh from one to six pounds. It Is quite possible that the early Inhabitants oi Mexico crossed their native dog known as the techichi (which was indigenous to Central America) with a small smooth-haired breed brought from Asia. No one, however, knows for sure about this cross breeding. But this much is certain, according to Bob Becker In the Chi cago Tribune, students of dog his tory are not in doubt about the native dog known to the old inhabi tants of Mexico. They have a pret ty good idea what It looked like. Archeology tells us about the techichi. Carved stones showing pictures of the breed, the ancestral stock from which the Chihuahua has come, are found. The carvings show a dog that closely approximates the Chihuahua. There are a long-haired and a short-coated or "smooth" variety of Chihuahua. It is very likely the short-coated dog is the original true Chihuahua. The breed has an ex cellent disposition, is intelligent and alert and comes in many colors. In fact. Chihuahuas may be snow white, coal black, black with tan or other mixed colors. It's rather in teresting, aa far as the history of the breed is concerned, that hun dreds of years ago the early inhabi tanta of Mexico liked dogs that had a definite bluish color. These were held sacred.
