IXMBERTON PORTRAITS (Oontinfed ftoa Page Seven) RECORDER JOHN 6. PROCTOR • .'4. * <Sharpehas been editor of that fine old paper a quarter of a century. He has JOftN BLOUNT Me L"OD Chairman ©f Robeson Coi; 'y Demo cratie Execntive Conr tee, served as president of the - 'otth Caro lina Press Association and is most highly regarded La newspaper circles. Former Senator David Fuller’s pic ture appeared 4n these columns last year. - By the way, we found working with Senator Fuller a young lawyer by the name of Priest, born in Florida but reared right down therd in Cum berland county. - A fine young fellow he, is. Seeing David and John Fuller brought ,to mind most forcibly the passing of their father and my good friend* Mr. C. M. Fuller, Huey Long Looms asa Power for Good or Evil. Huey Long is not to be booed out of court. The country must reckon with . him.. It, seems to be admitted by even his non-admirers that his policies are fast putting Louisiana in the van of progress* Sis- speech in the senate Monday threw “down the gage of battle to President Roosevelt's administration.. That ad dress' frightened more than it •mused* - Long’s j ability, bis fearlessness, his fcriack at catching public atten tion, and his-scheme to “divide the wealth of the country,” -essentially through‘taxation,’ assure him a big followings His showmanship may be assunmd for a purpose. It cer tainly has been effectual. One of the youngest of the senators, hois one of - the best ‘known. -f‘V<' Ben Tillman won his spirts as “Pitchfork” Ben. His sway in South Carolina was almostaY dic tatorial as that of Hong in Louis iana. But the solidity of his char acter and ability were later recog . aired in, the, senate and through^ the country. He used his “pitch fork” for a purpose-^-the Bourbon element* ia Soutk Carolina who had selong dominated ’the state required such an implement and a ruthless operator behind it. When Ben Till man attained his goal the crudity of rienee and the growth" of a seaae of the dignity a U. S. senatorship should carry with it. The country may need- Huey Long. As stated previously, this year is the turning'point v economic and social, direction of American policies.? Just one slip v and hack. the country wriuld gd to the old dogneat-dog system-—if indeed we have ye£|ot awa^iffoiA it. With Huey Long on the war- .. path, it will he easier for. President Koosevelt to hold a. more even«and tauter rein over the selfish interests of the country. Huey may he held up as an alternative to the Presi-^ dent’s own expressed "purpose riot ltd disturb' the “profit'inotive.” . Our fear all the while hMf been that the President didpes to help the masses and at the same time allow ? the rich to become richer—a rather difficult thing to achieve. In tjsiat case, if either of his, purposes fail, - when both are attempted, it is <juite certain which one it will be. Eight then Huey may be needed. Anyway, we shall see whlrt We shall see. It will be worth while to be living the next, two or-three -i years to note the final direction of economic and social jeveiits. The ^ progress toward a fust division of the proceeds of the resources of the country has been up a slippery bill and just a little faltering or a slip on the part of the wheel horses may allow it to slip back to the old level. bit attacks fell away with expo- thahthey could use in a thousand If thereB dhlf ^ta^for all, any years and others starving despite - influence that will prevent a return thjeir'best' efforts will .be a godsend, old Way some getting wore Huey may serve that purpose. rSV 16 ; Thijig^ are-happening; f astthese days. and to keep posted one must read.
