Is be ing heaped upon Congressman Pou in the matter o( the speech he made on the adjusted compensation bill which is now the law. Congressman Edgar Howard, Representative from Nebraska, is the president and edi tor of the Dally Telegram, of Colum dus, ."seD., ahd he frequently sends his newspaper an editorial letter. In his issue of May 22, Mr. Howard has one of these which he devotes to Congressman Pou's speech. Incorpo rating the entire speech aa part of his letter. From that there is quoted concerning Congressman Pou and his adjusted compensation speech the following: "There were several fine speeches In favor of passing the soldier bill over the veto when It was laid be for the House. I rather believe the Intense moments of the occasion ap peared while Congressman Pou of North Carolina was speaking. He lost a son in battle in France. His fine face was tense while i e talked. His lips were all a tremble, and tears listened on his cheeks. And yet ho spoke with a quiet dignity not to have been expected from one who was resenting what he regarded as a Presidential insult to all of the splen did ex-service mon who were asso ciated with his fine boy In the late World War. Most of the memoors of the House know that Pou would speak a mesage as If from the Hps of his own sacrificed boy, and that knowledge appeared to have been mysteriously communicated to the multitudes in the raiierioa because when Pou arose to speak the silence in hall and galleries was profound. Twice during his brief talk a wave of applause swept over the floor and the galleries, but quickly everybody appeared to regret interrupting a splendid father who was pleading for justice In behalf of the millions of mates of his own lost aoldier boy. The speaker was allowed only five brief minutes, but he made the most of that brief period. The vast hall of Representatives was bushed when Pou finished, but it Beemed that hush of preparation for the magniflclent trib ute of applause which followed. I m\ v. tears on the faces of many mem bers near me, and I saw women In the gaieties burying their faces In their handkerchiefs. One of my fellow members, who Is a very devont Me thodist, feelingly and audibly exclaim ed, 'Amen' again and again. For my part, having been denied a request for one short minute of time on which to speak my own sentiment of pro test against the veto message, all that remained for me was to breath* a silent prayer that the Qod of Justice would permit me tq make the protect of the splendid Pon serve aa my vary own." ?The Board of Education and County Commissioners meet Monday.

JAPANESE EXCLUSION A HUMI LATIOX FOB SECRETARY HUGHES Humllatton (or Seccretary Hughes has been one definite outcome of the fight for Japanese exclusion In the (migration bill, no matter what the consequences may have been to any other member of the Coolldge admin istration. The decision of Congress not to let the question of (migration become a subject of diplomatic nego tiation has been taken In spite of the views, if not the recommendations, of Mr. Hughes that the problem should be adjusted by treaty. explanation of the position occupied by Secretary Hughes the story that he was eager for a triumph for him self in the settlement of the contro versy with Japan by diplomatic ex changes rather than by Congressional legislation even though this would have countered and offended public opinion In California. California is not a name that summons pleasant recol lections for Mr. Hughes, for It is re called that it was in that State that his hopes of the presidency were trampled in 1916. One of the tramplers was Senator Hiram Johnson, the same who was among the champions of Japanese ex clusion. It would have hurt Johnson personally and politically If Japanese exclusion had tailed of ratification by Congress. It would have been equally painful to thousands of Callfornlans who rejected Mr. Hughes In 1916. There are many who have seen In Mr. Hughes the dlplomant also Mr. Hughes the disappointed politician.

Frissell) Farmers of North Carolina who are j members of the tobacco and cotton cooperatire associations have already received approximately $900,000 In loans from the North Carolina Agri cultural Credit Corporation, according to Its president, John H. Boushall. of Raleigh, who predicts that the credit corporation, which resulted from the efforts of the cooperative growers, will bring them over a million dollars in loans for productive purposes this season. The tobacco and cotton co-ops of Eastern North Carolina have been es pecially benefitted by the new coopera tive form of credit and have taken out loans amounting to more than I $600,000, which has enabled them to pay cash prices for fertilizer and to hire cash labor for preparing the cot ton and tobacco crops of 1924 at many places, according to Prersident Bou shall. The success of the Tar Heel farm ers In working out their own Unan | rial salvation has been followed by the formation of a similar credit corp-| oration by Virginia tobacco farmers of the cooperative association. The new Agricultural Credit Corporation of Virginia with headquarters in Dan ville and directors from each elec toral district of the tobacco associa tion in Virginia. Is functioning smooth ly during its first few weeks of opera tion, according to W. E. Gardner, of Danville, its vice-president, who ar rived in Raleigh last week for the annual meeting of the Tobacco Grow ers Cooperative Association, as the newly elected director from Pittsyl vania County, the largest tobacco growing county of the South. The cooperating farmers of both Virginia and North Carolina are work ing out their financial salvation by means of practical cooperation while those from the West and other sec tions are clamoring for government relief. This fact is made clear. In the j latest figures of the United States | Bureau of Agricultural Economics, | which shows that only tobacco and cotton, the two th6<^>ughly organized crops among the eight leading farm products of America, are bringing their producers greater purchasing power than in 1913 and maintain far higher price levels than the unorga nized products of the grain, live stock I and potato growers. ? WHAT AJJCH1BALD JOHNSON SAID ABOUT BAILEY Some of the newspapers opposed to Mr. J. .W. Bailey 'a candidacy hare given the public a wrong idea of his attitude in the campaign he Is making. He is reported as breathing out threat enings and undermining "the party" and trying to play smash with things generally. The impression he made on a fine audience last Friday evening in the auditorium o fthe graded school was quite the opposite of this spirit. He made a calm and logical argument wliolly free from personalities and with perfect courtesy and fairness toward his opponent. His views so far from being radical and revolutionary, are entirely sound and reasonably. There were very few in the audience either for or against him, who did not In their hearts endorse every propo sition he made. The three points he developed with tremendous force and clearness were the reform of our elec tion laws by the adoption of the Aus tralian ballot, the breaking the power of railroad domination in our politi cal affairs and the equitable adjust ment of our taxes. Those who came to see the "fur fly" weere disappointed. There was not one word of vllllflca tlon or abuse in the whole address of more than an houi. The appeol was entirely to the reason of his hearers, and every statement he made was backed by Incontrovertible facts. There was no playtnff to the galleries, no appeal to passion nor to prejudice, no oratorical flourishes to tickle the the fancy of shallow minds, but a calm, straight, candid, earnest argument tor reforms In our polltioal system that I the speaker believes with all his heart are vital to the welfare of the common wealth. We have rarely listened to a political address so free from bun and so elevated in temper and tone. ? Archlblad Johnson in Charity and Children.
