Only the rocks in Maine and Vermont kept them from sliding too. President Roosevelt is going to put 1 everybody in the upper class or at least give ! | them a chance to move up. FARLEY, A PREDICTOR James A. Farley, holding the dual po sition of posjntaster general and democratic national chairman, got his razzing from the Republican press during the first Roosevelt “term, but these razzers will have to admit now that he is the most accurate political predictor that ever predicted. Mr. Farley claimed 46 of the states for Roosevelt Most people thought that was political ginger to whoop the boys up. So much wild claiming is done these days that all of us are inclined to discount much that we hear. But Farley was right. He even named the two states that he conceded to Landon and if future elections the poll con ductors should hire him to predict and save the expense of mailing straw ballots to vot 1 ers throughout the nation. WORTHY OF THOUGHT A new penal code for Nazi Germany, dis | closed to the press for the first time this week, offer* interesting commentary on the f- nation's viewpoint. The death penalty is promised for murder and extortionary kid napping; and publicly advocating birth con trol, cornering the market and making in sulting remarks about Adolf Hitler are plac | ed in the same category, as prison offenses. But most interesting, one which we all ; might do well to study is the one warning of “monetary fines or jail sentences for resur recting the pasts of persons who have since proved worthy citizens.” What could be better than teaching peo ple to take their fellows at their face value, and to appraise them on present worth to the community or state rather than on an § evil past, safely dead. THE NEXT FOUR YEARS This country will experience a season ofj prosperity during the next four years of the Roosevelt administration. Business runs in cycles and it is due for an up-swing because | of the tide in business movements and be cause of the encouragement the administra tion has given through recovery measures. THe danger is that we might become too op timistic and reckless, with disastrous re sults. President Roosevelt will not run again. It would be contrary to precedent for him to seek a third term. Having full knowledge of the fact that he is serving his last term, the President will no doubt turn somewhat to the right. His desire will be to balance af fairs on a solid and substantial basis. No longer will he use his tactics of forcing con gress to enact liberal legislation. The emer gency is over. Some new measures already | suggested and familiar to the public will no doubt be put through the Congressional mill but we do not believe that radicalism is in his mind. For the next four years the President will endeavor to make a name for himself that will go down in history as one of the nation’s greatest chieftains. He wilt not seek to appease every group that followed him. Members of Congress who were victorious because of their allegiance to him may in terpret the huge victory in the wrong light, but Mr. Roosevelt will put on the brakes rather than prod Congress along. MENACE OF THE THIRD SHIFT Ex-Governor Max Gardner handed out sound advice today at the Cotton Textile In stitute meeting: at Pinehurst when he warn-, od the manufacturers not to restore the third shift and thereby demoralize the market, j The cotton textile industry is getting on its feet again. Of course many mills went on the auction block during the depression end millions of dollars were lost to stock holders. It was a costly pruning but today every indication points to a long period of •lability and reasonable profits, “provided a decent regard is shown for the importance of keeping production in reasonable balance present and prospective demand,” says Mr. Gardner. Since there is no national control as to hours of labor and the mills may operate on hour and wage schedules prescribed by the various states, it is a great temptation for some, too eager to take advantage of recov ery, to put on the third shift and overpro duce. The textile industry' was the fijst to adopt a code. After the NRA was held un constitutional, this group has adhered to its principles better than any other major in dustry. A few violations here and there, however, may produce an unwholesome situ ation and result in restrictive legislation by the next Congress. "The forty hour week is the Magna Charts of the economic and social rehabili tation of the cotton textile industry in this nation” declared Gov. Gardner who is not only an authority on politics, but on econom ics as well. Labor, as well as astute textile manu facturers have come to realise that if the principles of NRA are maintained, both will profit. It is but natural that they prefer to retain the principles voluntarily rather than under force of law. What Other Papers Say MONTY FOB ARMS (Catawba News-Enterprise* The League of Nations reports that ten billions were spent for arms in 1935. That being the case we can’t much blame the Duponts for making a liberal contribution to campaign funds. i ROUNDS FOR ACTION (Barron’s) The picking up of the communist candidate at Terre Haute, as a vagrant, was technically correct. According to all the straw polls, the suspect had no visible support. SAFR (Cleveland Plain Dealer* \ Foreign news dispatches say Mussolini has reduc ed the cost of Italy’s dole to the minimum ifee correspondents apparently forget he does not have to run for re-election this year. SOUR NOTE (Charleston News and Courier) In the rejoicing over the triumph of the Roost I veltians will be gloating over the discomfiture of the “Tories" in South Carolina. The News and Courier among them, and in another two yean, if we shall have a primary, some gloaters will be fawners on the Tories, seeking their support, and the Tories WtU as usual give support to those who are not quite such little fellows and objectionable as others are. CIVIC PRIDE (Bmlthfleld Herald) Civic pride doei not Just happen. It hae to be fostered. The most of us can remember the board walks and wooden shelters that preoeded our paved streets and striped awnings. Each generation goes a bit further, and with children studying civic matters by the time they enter school, the next generation will see Just as marvelous change not only pertaining to appearance but to health. Nobody’s Business - By GEE McGEE __ THANK THE LORD. IT’S ALL OVER AT LAST Well, Polks: The election Is over. Mebbe your fa vorite candidate failed to make the grade. The other fellow will suit you Just about as well, so let’s make the best of it. Lots of us have got a large passel of things to for give and forget. Many of us have been mean and rampant and careless In our daily walk and conver sation. We have accused each other of being crooks and socialists and communists, but possibly only half of what we said was true. Hundreds of good men made fools of themselves. There appeared 3 distinct "isms” in the political field this year, viz: ass-ism, mass-ism and class-ism Sev eral men in high places indulged viciously In the first named; the second-named likewise had its flock but from all walks of life, it remained for the radicals and government haters to rally around the last nam ed. If you don't like the president and vice-president that were elected, can slip around behind the barn and cry about It; but that's about all the good you’ll get out of it. The country Is all right, but some of our citizens are all wrong. Prosperity has returned. We ought to be satisfied upon Its return and not worry about what or who brought It. There are 3 terrible afflictions that come upon us periodically. With your pardon, we will list below the names of these afflictions in the order of their re spective severity: 1—Politics. 1—Politics. 3—Politics. ..Somebody said that “one politician is as good as another; if there's any difference, he's a derned sight worser.” Politics are made up of possible and impos sible promises, neither of which is ever intentionally carried out; that is, if it serves any person other than the politician himself. Some men go into politics for fame, others enter therein for fortune, and the other | two fellows become politicians for the good of thei? j country and the public generally. I Let us hope that the preachers will go back to their ! preaching; that the business men will go baes to their j jobs. The new president Is our president, and “that jail they are to it," as Anstotie aid. DOING NICELY Washington Daybook Bj rusTON atom (AmmUM Frees sun Writer) WASHINGTON.—Who is going to be the national chief of police? A year ago you could hear often that J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the G-men, some time would head not only his bureau of investigation agents, but a con solidation of the famed secret serv ice and various other police and detective agencies of the govern ment. You don't hear that so often now. It never had any official sup port. rtfSTON L GftOVir Washington now hears much talk of a back-fire being built up against the phenomenal rise of the stocky.; black-haired executive whose agents i have raised ned with the kidnap ing Industry and made bank rob bery a criminal hasard Instead of | a criminal sport. Determined Foes He has many staunch friends. But1 well-bolstered rumor credits him with having also some determined foes besides Senator McKellar of Tennessee, who alone barked out his opposition as an increase in Hoover’s pay went through that body last session. He gets $10,000 a year now. against $9,000 before. ! Hoover and his men had most! of the publicity for a long time. I Since rum-row died out. the var-j ious police agencies under the treas-! ury haven't been much in the news. Hie secret service is always around with the president, but is seldom mentioned in dispatches. The sec ret service also protects the cur rency. Yet in the most recent ex-! posure of a counterfeiting ring in' New York, some of Hoover's men came in for a share of the glory. Breakfast foods, Illustrated news paper "hero'' strips and radio broad casts feature Hoover and his men. Then recently came that exchange of letters between the department of justice and Secretary Morgen thau of the treasury disclosing that certain secret service agents had been sort of “checking up” on the Hoover men. Morgenthau apologiz ed and ordered a couple of secret service men demoted. Another break for Hoover. Treasury Seeks Bit Force But lately something else hap pened. The treasury announced it would ask congress to consolidate its police agencies under one head! in the treasury. That would give the treasury a force of 2.890 men, not including the 380 in the narco tics branch, to be kept separate for a time. Hoover's force amounts only to I 625. The treasury group would in clude: Secret service, 800; customs investigation agency, 300; border patrol, 590; alcoholic tax unit, 1 - 700. Who will head them may not be announced until congress acts on j the consolidation bill W H Moran Just Ten Years Ago (Taken From Ttao Cleveland Star Of Friday, November 5, 1926) A bond Issue of 650,000 was au thorized Wednesday night by the city officials to finish paying for, the water plant which is now near ing completion.

According to a recent issue of ‘School Facts ’j the grade of teachers in Cleveland! county ranks 79th in the state,' meaning that 78 counties in North Carolina have better trained school teachers for their children.

Mouzon of Charlotte, j said today reaction to the “Jazz I Age" had caused a reawakening of | moral consciousness in youth. The Senior Bishop of the Meth- ! odist Episcopal Church, South was 1 here for the joint meeting of both branches of the Methodist church in Texas. “The reawakening of moral con sciousness in the younger genera tion," he said, “is due to two main factors. The first Is the reaction to the jazz age. which has passed out of the picture now. The second is the fact that the church has step- | ped into the breach and met the demand for spiritual guidance with a vigorous campaign to bring young people closer to the fold.” j chief of the secret service, is Ap proaching retirement.

Mercy Death Case Worries England LONDON, NOV. e—<*>)—The trad ition-steeped house of lords faces the necessity of answering one of the most extraordinary questions in its long history: Has the sufferer of an incurable ailment the right to select death to escape lingering pain? The question was contained in a "mercy death” bill introduced in parliament yesterday to authorize medical men to kill hopeless pa tients who want to die. Lord Pon aonby, its sponsor, thus climax d a year's campaign by many medical and church leaders fdr euthanasia, “easy death.” Ponsonby will move the second reading of the bill Dec. 1 and it Will become a debatable issue then. The measure ncm is in the hands of the printer. Its author refused to dis cuss it except to say it provides for the death of patients whose ail ments are diagnosed incurable, “at their own request” and “with prop er safeguards.” Blum Assailed On His Double Budget PARIS, Nov. 6.—(&)—Bitterly as sailed by' a welter of charges, So cialist Premier Blum, himself cited to appear in court on fraud allega tions, convened a "multi-billion dol lar” parliament today. Knemies of Slum’s leftist popular front government, which took office last June, girded themselves for a violent assault on Blum’s so-called “double budget”;—a cabinet-approv ed measure calling for giant in creases in the ordinary and extra ordinary budgets for 1937 (On armaments and national de fense alone, the budget would spend a total of $$743,000,000. with an ad ditional $300,000,000 for public works and unemployment relief), On the very eve of the session, new attacks on the Blum regime flared, and new labor strife also marked the return of the legisla tors as strikers occupied an oil re finery and the Panhard Levassor automobile plant in Paris. head injured when CAR TURNS OVER HIGH POINT, Nov. 8.—(/P)—M.

C- Noy. 6.—W)— Governor OUn Johnston, national Democratic executive committee man, predicts that alignment at the labor and farm vote would lead to “victory for Democratic adminis trations, and the people, for many years to come.” Commenting on President Roose velt’s overwhelming reelection the governor said “The laboring masses of the industrial oenters joined hands with the fanners of the south and west. They delivered a complete rout of the Republican policies of reaction. "Tliey beat Landon in name, but more than that, they beat the Du Pont, William Randolph Hearsts, Al Smith, lienry Herd, and the old Hoover-Mellon crowd. They won a great victory for the people. "With the joining of these two unport ant groups, the farmers of the west and south and the labor ers of the great industrial centers of the east and north, the Demo cratic party has the added nucleus to out-number the Republicans, and I predict victory for Democratic administration and the people for many years to came.” Terming the election “The most momentous political event in the history of the United States," the governor said "The Question at the polls as I saw it was whether we would let our country go back into the hands of the former privileged few, or whether we would continue a government that is providing for the laboring man. the farmer and the day-by-day business man.” He rSJ the failure of the Re publicans to carry any state other than Maine and Vermont proved that the worker, framer and small business man "is overwhelmingly Democratic.” CHILD LOSES EYE WHEN HIT BY CAR GOLDSBORO.
