Do Ifot Appear To Have Herts Enough To Block Farm Credits; Nine Postmasters For North Carolina Are Confirmed By The Senate - New and Observer Bureau, 603 District National Hank Bldg., By EDWARD E. BRITTON (By Special Leased Wire.) Washington, Feb. 8. The talk a round Washington is that President llurdiag has at last taken to heart The clear indieutitm the Ameri can people do not favor the passage of hia pet scheme, the ship subsidy bill, and that there is being mads a eumshoe movement by which to find for him nv feathery bed, en- which. to fall and avoid the bun.p and llie. jolting that otherwise would eQmc when the present Congress eipires and the ship subsidy bill is left-high and dry on the sands while the tid of Congressional action passes ut to sea. ' Preparing Soft Spot7 This soft spot on which President Harding is to alight toavoid the bumps is to be found in the British war debt agreement,7 Despite the protests of Senator Kansdell, of Louisiana, and the Merehatit Marino . Association, the, President and his echoes in the Senate will lay asidj the ship subsidy bill and go to it with the British debt settlement business, 80 conies the news to Washington from sources around tho White House and from various and sundry Senators, among these being tenator Watson, of Indiana, who is m clmo to the President aa til give official color to utterances from him 11s to White House utterances. And it is at times most noticeable that Senator Jones, of tho atate of Wash ingto,who ia in charge of the ship saUeidjTbill, la easily driven away frsai prig to -Ue front that measure when rft anything turns up for which, aoma other Senator can find: aoma reason for dragging Xortrh for action by the Senate. . Tactic In House Over in the House there are somn what different tactic seen in this matter, but at the bottom of thia there can be discovered an effort at the same result. The Lenroot-Auderson-Capper farm credits bills have reached that body and Repre sentative Mondell, after a confer ence with President Harding, has declared that there are so many difficulties in the way of an agree ment in the bills that despite tho fact that legislation on the subject 'lias passed both the Senate and the House it was entirely possible that the farm credits measures could not be enacted into' law before the ex. piration of the session on March fourth. In other words, it appears that he has served notice upon the advocates of farm credits that they must be good and let the ship sub sidy bill have smooth sailing if they want farmers' aid bills written into law. Inevitably, the holding up of farm credits legislation will bring oa more debate and hence lessen the already brief time" for ship sub sidy bill consideration, and it is nit to be expected that the Republicans will dare adjourn sine die and leave farm credits legislation up in the air, for of all thing at present the Republicans want to see laws en- - acted that we'll tie up the farmer vote with the 0. O. P. Areas Progreaaivee That the ire of the Progressives in the Senate and likewise of al.l who are in real earnest in seeking farm credits legislation will be stir red up by such tactics ean be read ily aeea- They will resent the using of the big stick upon them ia the matter of ship subsidy legislation, and it la believed that this situation is ia the minds of those who are trying to find the' soft spot for (resident Harding when lie bumps the bumps with the failure of actbn on the ship subsidy bill. He and his friends ean thea declare to the country that there has been no repu diation of the Lasker Harding scheme of paying out great nu oi lier of millions of the peoples money In ship aubsidiea to private interest," that the matter j simply "'could; trot be -reached for a tote by reason of the urgency, of the Britisn war debt settlement and because of the time necessary to whip, the farm credits legislation into shape. There will be excuses galore, but at heart many Bepubllcans will rejoice at the escape from having another handi cap for the 19C4 race. New N. C Pee Masters .

The children of. the rich and well-to-do were educated and formed an aristocracy of culture, but the mass es were left in ignorance. Thirty years ego there were less than two hundred students at the State Uni versity. The North Carolina Col lege waa just being organized, and tho State College had just begun work, and tho college at Greenville had not been dreamed of. There w ere practically I no high schools. Now there are two thnusaud students at the University, with a yearly in crease of two hundred and fifty. There are fourteen hundred young women at the North Carolina Col lege and hundreds of students at Hie State College and at Greenville, with overwhelming increases each year. We should rejoice and give thanks for these "Rare bone Facts" instead of throwing stones. Suppose wo had nude these "raids'1 upon the treasury a hundred years ago. Suppose we had provider! proper training industrial, agricul tural and literary a hundred years ago for all of our young people. What a State we would have now The ."Messenger"' says that the As sociation for the Promotion of Edu cation in North Carolina is "Wor shipping at the Shrine, of the God of Things aa They Want Them to Be." That is a great shrine to wor ship at when we are trying to help build a great State. Would that our ancestor had' worshipped at this shrine. If they had, things would now be as we want them to be. The ''Messenger" says hat two years ago we marched to llaletgh. ics, the people of North Carolina did march to Raleigh.
