THE AMt-H iC AN PRtSS ASO .A . O - Wanted Honest and reliable Re publican to accept position in Wash ington as secretary of the U. S. navy. Oil promoters need not apply. ate in preventing; the spread of dis ease all they possibly can. We are not exactly sure whether coughing and sneering with the mouth uncov ered is one way of spreading these dieases mentioned or not, but we do know colds are spread in this way and it is "awful poor manners." FORMER RANDOLPH MAX ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY WANT COLUMN The fact that Mr. Denby has re signed as secretary of the navy does not necessarily mean that he is at his rows end, because there are hun dreds of fake oil companies in the United States who would be glad to have a man of his experience to handle their business. Next! Attorney General Dauchertv we believe is the next man slated for ,ner.by just such " are ne bench. It is quite evident though, that Mr. Daugherty hasn't as much : respect for the President as had Mr. Denby, or else he would have im mediately followed the secretaries example and given up the job with out embarassing Mr. Coolidge un necessarily. It takes a real man to acknowledge to the world that he is wrong. Hon. Josephus Daniels, former sec retary of the navy, is one man who passed through the Teapot Dome tempest unstained and uncorrupted. It was of course perfectly natural for those oil soaked gentlemen of Wash ington to try to drag the unblemished name of Mr. Daniels into this dis graceful oil scandal, but Mr. Daniels came through the gates without so much as getting a single drop of this tarnished oil on his pure, white, unselfish character. When Mr. Dan iels held his office as secretary of the navy he was knocked, abused and mistreated in the most shameful man- now wading knee deep in the greasy, slimy oil scandal. These same men, j when affronted with the discovery of the Teapot Dome scandal, attempted to use their "crude oil" influence against Mr. Daniels, but they failed in thir cttempt because Mr. Daniels ! was absolutely innocent, and truth is his policy and truth always wins against a gang of tarnished, corrupt ed politicians. And just when all the officials at Washington are getting conscious striken, and are actually beginning to feel a little bad about this oil scandal, here comes Mr. Miller, ac cusing Mr. Mellon of Juggling the figures concerning the soldiers' bonus. Cheer up, Mr. Forbes, you are not the only one who knows how to de ceive the unfortunate soldier, even though you did do your part toward squandering many thousands of dol lars which belonged to the ex-service men. . Misery and disgrace needs company, you should not be in the least lonesome. A FRIEND CONTRIBUTED THIS The following is an extract from an article describing a trip from New York City to Palm Beach, writ ten by Arthur Brishand, one of the highest paid writers in the world and published in the Hurst newspapers. The train travels along the edge of the Atlantic, carrying its precious freight, of which 98 per cent would be about as useful in heaven as it is on earth. Philadelphia, Washington, Richmond, fly past, and Jacksonville, that one day may be greater than all of them, as the seaport of a Southern empire. Mr. Ouu. Boas, of Harriett County in announcing hi candidacy for Attorney-General, says: However strong the urge of n personal ambition to be the aucc sor of the distinguished lawyers whu have served North Carolina in the office of Attorney-General, I yet would not feel justified in asking this honor at the hands of the IV mocracy of the State, unless I ha.: first been convinced that through the office I could render my State some service. While no man is wim? enough to predict with exactness his course in public office, it is incum bent upon a candidate, I think, to take the public into his confidence sufficiently for them to know some thing of the hopes and aims that will guide him if elected.' If the people should honor me with this great trust, I would consider the office had first claim upon my time, my talent, and my energy. I should hope to maintain with ever? department of the Stae gov ernment, whether centered in Ral eigh or elsewhere, such intimate touch that they would be able to re ceive promptly all the legal assist ance that I could make the office ca pable of giving. I should hoi to greatly increase the usefulness of this office to the Solicitors of the State. The State law doesn't have the terror for crimi nals that the Federal law does. When Solicitors are busy trying cases in one county the tracts of crime in some other county are lost or erased. The Attorney-General's office should be developed into a real Department of Justice that would be prepared to collect and preserve for the Solicitor the evidence that is now so often lost. New legal points and difficult ques tions likely to arise in the trial of important cases should be briefed in advance and furnished the Solicitor. In fact, it seems to me much could be done through this office to unify and coordinate the enforcement of the criminal law. Rapid transportation has given criminals the fleetness of the winds, but the law halts and hesitates at county and district lines. We need a clearing house for law enforcement State-wide in its scope. Lastly, I should hope to use the prestige and resources of this office to collect and lay before the Legis lature all available data concerning that class of Courts that are correc- So classiBl dertliBI UI Uken for thn 56 cnU and rvmpanird by rrmillanf. b all ae- it mmkm TNI M t our Trsakini Sip" vmx jUheboro Bank and Trust C.

King, ninety-two years old, telling of the first "level tablespoonful of sorghum seed brought to this country seventy years ago from France." Mr. King, who planted, harvested and ground syrup from sorghum, making rollers of beechwood for the grinding, tells of the early workers of whose effort the fruit is now gathered by rich en to the State more favorable com ment according to its cost than any other of the splendid things we have undertaken in our era of progress. Facts which it has brought to light have given all thoughtful lawyers a sense of shame at the fearful inade quacy of our system of criminal Courts. At present we see crime in the making right before our eyes; but the machinery of the Courts is so ponderous that it doesn't move until a paranoiac has become a mur derer, until a neglecting husband or father has wrecked a home, or until a year's crop has been comsumed in a lawsuit over its division. Why shouldn't the State's legal depart ment take the lead in planning for the extension of our Courts' activi ties along these lines of need ? Because the law has seemed inade quate men have resorted to the dan gerous expedient of attempting to meet these conditions outside the law. I should delight to be of ser vice in helping to enlarge the activi ties of our Courts along the lines of preventive justice. If elected I shall devote myself to the duties of the office with these general hopes and aims constantly before me. Chae. Ross. Lillington, N. C.
