The Statesville Landmark doesn't
like the name "teacherage" fot a
ijjome for teachers. It admits it may
fee fitting but thinks it is not euphon
ious. It doea not suggest a substi
tute, however, but deposes and says
that if that name sticks then the
tmiversal name for a home for preach
ers should be preacherage, and "by
and by if they should determine to
make an institution out of editors and
build homes for them the habitat of
the newspaper men will be the editor,

President Harding followed Wood
row Wilson's lead in addressing Con
gress. Wilson broke a precedent of
long standing and Republicans called
him "king." Senator Lodge et aU-
evidently did not see any reason why
President Harding should not imitate
Wilson in outward form, but that was
as far as he could go. Wilson ap
peared before Congress as a strong
leader with a definite program;
Harding- makes the unimpressive- im-i
pression of a man who appears be
j c t'.-e Cungresg to utter a string
of platitudes which he is assured be
forehand by Senate leaders will do
ri; harm, even if they do not point
out any solution of problems.
o
Senator Lodge was "extremely
pleased" with President Harding's
declaration about the League of Na
tions in his message. He declares it
separates us from the league and ap
proves passage of a separate peace
resolution. Senators Johnson and
Borah and Reid are also tickled with
it. The fact that this bunch of
sweet-scented geraniums approves is
proof that it is about as far removed
as possible from the lofty pinnacle
from which former President Wilson
viewed world problems. President
Harding interprefjr his ' electidn as
meaning that the people of this coun
try want to fill their bellies with
husks and will be satisfied to play
mumbletypeg for a while.
Among the 2,500 bills introduced
in the House of Congress on the first
day of this extraordinary session was
one to abolish "Jim Crow" cars on
railroads. This was the brilliant con
ception of Representative Madden of
Illinois and we'll say he is rightly
named. His bill provides that no
railroad engaged in inter-state com
merce shall discriminate as between
white and colored passengers and that
co'.ored passengers shall be entitled
to use the same coaches and sleeping !
accommodations as are used by white
passengers. We are willing to admit
that this Madden person should be al
lowed to eat and sleep with negroes,
along with Senator Penrose of Penn
sylvania, though it would be degrad-
ing for some self-respecting negroes j
to accent such comnanv.

GREAT BRITAIN IS ENCOURAG
ING PRODUCTION OF COTTON
Bending Every Effort to Escape De
pendency Upon United States for
Raw Cotton.
Great Britain is bending every ef
fort to escape from dependency upon
the United States for raw cotton, ac
cording to a report to the Depart
ment of Commerce from Commercial
Attache Dennis at London, states a I
Washingtrn dispatch of the 12th. To:
this end, Mr. Dennis said, England !
is encouraging the production of cot-!
ton in the former German possessions
in East Africa obtained under man-
dates and in her own colonial posses-;
sions.
"While our own people have been
considerably aroused by the so-called ,
British domination of the world's'
petroleum resources," Mr. Dennis.
saj( "little attention has been paid
to the obvious fact that as a result
of the war increased opportunities for ;
!the production oi raw cotton nave i
developed within the British empire.'
The British have seized upon that fact
and systematic efforts are being made
hv th emmre cotton crowine com
mittee to stimulate cotton growing
within the empire."
Commenting on the present inter
national cotton situation, Mr. Dennis
declared that by the end of July the
world's supply of unconsumed cotton
would amount to 11,580,000 bales of
500-pounds each. This he saii would
be the largest carry-over " the
world's1, history. Collapse of the

Governor Morrison Talks on Pro

One night last week in Greensboro
fiovcrnnr Morrison vii f
. . .- ---- si. vi
Hjg address was delivered upon the
dry. Far from it. It was a deliver
ance pitchejl on a high, plane of logfc,
one in which Christianity and -patriotism
were banded together in a
concentrated assault "upon every ja
trenehment of the devil and his prin
cipalities, v
The question, "What must we do in
propounded by and to the human m
tellect, "What must I do to be savedT'
And the man or woman, he further
insists, who seeks and finds the solu
tion to the latter will not rest until
a solution is found of the ther. "For,"
he declared, "North Carolina must pro
gress." He had not the time to go fully in
to consideration of all the overwhelm
ing blessings that the state enjoys by
reason by its God-given location, but
he did draw a fervent picture of them
in as relief. To the east there Is op
portunity for development of the
greatest and most extensive system
of waterways on the face of the
earth, and the opportunity must be
made the most of, at whatever cost,
that progress may be given free rein.
The water power of western and cen.
tral North Carolina, ready but un
developed, is sufficient to supply the
by seven millions oi orunsKiuea moor:
ers, and its development will add op
portunity to labor by affording motive
power for vastly enlarged industrial
enterprise. The mose favored agri
cultural spot of the globe, with its
rich diversity in productivity must
be strengthened. ,
But one problem that stand, out
paramount in the Governor' mind is
that of finding out what is wrong
with, our commercial system. He ex
pressed belief that the shackles that
have bound the state for many years
have been almost altogether stricken
off, but vthat North Carolina had for
so long been in commercial bondage
that it has not yet awakened to the
new estate of freedom. Every man
and woman of the siate he - insisted,
should make it their business to, hold
a grand inquest and find out where
the trouble lies and then join hands
Have a New Top put on yur Car or 'New Upholstery on the

the least expense. Prices in keeping with the times. Satis
faction guaranteed. Write us when in need of anything in

it nresent inconsnicuous Dosition in
the commerce of the republic and
take its rightful place among the
leaders. - ' . .
The governor' has a vision of the
commerce of the great west flowing
through North Carolina over a veri
table network of electrically driven
railways, down to the great cities
that aw t0 e built fcy tne sea thence
out to all the world and a returning
stream of legitimate profit to add
to a wealth that shall be dedicated
not alone to the fulfillment of man's
individual needs but to the great
tasks that the responsibilities of
Christianity and good government lay
upon this people.
And, speaking of good government,
Governor Morrison waxed eloquent
upon the changed vision of govern
mental affairs; one that sees in the
symbols of justice and legislative
power only necessary adjuncts of .a
great system. The new vision incor
porates as necessary elements the
health officer, the teacher, the farm
demonstrator and all the other experts
who bring to the people the scientific
knowledge of the world touching .upon
tfheir lives and business.
Governor Morrison referred in
glowing terms to the work of the past
general assembly, which laid the
ground work for a great structure of
progressive building in North Caro
lina, and it will Joe a condition noth
ing short of tragic if he state fails
to materialize the magnificent oppor
tunity that has thus been presented it.
It is a time, the governor declared,
for the elimination of the gnats, the
mosquitoes, the tomtits and the snakes
of society and, along with them
"tomit politics," in which petty per
sonalities are made to appear pre
dominant over statesmanship.
