The NRA Skeleton Has Life Extended. Despite the attempt of Huey Long to talk to death the NRA skeleton from which the Supreme Court recently ripped the codified flesh, the Senate early Thursday morning breathed into it the breath of life for another period. This week ends the period, for which the NftA was launched “two years ago. The measure was jrapidly written and presented to the Congress with a demand for immediate pas sage. Our Bayard "Clark declined to vote for measures which he had not ’had time to read. It seemed a dangerous thing to do to lodge in the hands of the- President the powers incorporated^ in the hastily prepared and! little considered measure. But the measure passed; nearly two years later the Supreme Court declares it to have been, in •its most, important -essentials, un constitutional. It is not surprising that Congressman Clark declined to swallow the dose at the' instant bidding of the new administration. But he, and the rest'of us, did not ..know Roosevelt at that time as we know him now. Despite the uriconstitutionality of the measure, the: ''extraordinary " authority was safely con ferred-*into‘ his hands. JBut in case of- another than a Roosevelt, it is-conceivable that it might have proved a different mat ter. ' . ‘The definite limit upon' the life of that delegation of authority was the one thing that reconciled many to the transfer of the extraordinary power to the President. But as the months have passed, many have been convinced that'll stronger cen tral authority, with power to plan industries and to~fix^wages, prices, and hour^of labor, is essential to the welfare of theltation. But the Supreme Court decision came in the nick of time to prevent the ex tension of the NRA in its full force for another period. ;riBut the living skeleton has now been given a fur ther extension of life beyond this week’s limit, and with the remnant of authority left in the hands of the President and with the volun tary eo-operatioiP'orPthe part of hundreds of the greater industrial companies, it now seems probable that the loss to recovery and to a revolutionized industrial program will not be as great as feared on the announcement "of the epochal decision of the Supreme Court. . Yet every citizen ' concerned in the welfare of the'masses, as op posed to the mere prosperity of the classes, should help*’ make senti ment for the- amendment !to the Constitution demanded if this country is to have a safe, sane, and equitable economic System. President Few Completes 25th Year As Duke President When Rev. W. P.jFew was elect ed president of Trinity College 25 years ago, it was a comparatively simple task that he assumed. He scarcely dreamed that within a few years he would be the chief execu tive of a school ranking in wealth and extent of curricula and of stu dent^ body among the great institu tions^ in the land.At the close of his 25th year -as president of Trin ity, now Duke^University, the sue cessful-administration of the magni fied 'institution "more than justifies the mark of appreciation rendered him by the''institution at commence ment last week. • We might “here allude to the service of >Dr.~Turrentine, who has just retired."from the presidency of Greensboro Female College, as the president of another Methodist La st it itfipn^w ho deserves much com mendation. ■ - TV" 11 - ■? r ' | I. A BRILLIANT YOUNG ARTIST ^ ' ■' ~ ’ • ... in ..... WILLIAM TEMPLE, DUNN, N. C. Graduate of the Pennsylvania School of Fine Arts in Phila delphia; twice winner of the Emlen Cresson-Traveling Scholar ship which gives the winner an extended trip abroad, all' ex penses paid, to study in the great art centers of the Old World. Mr. Temple sails tomorrow, June 7, on the Normandie, the newest and largest passenger ship afloat, for France from which he will travel to other countries. Two years ago young Temple traveled extensively in France, .Spain, Italy, Switzer land, Austria* Hungary, Germany, Portugal, and Great Britain,; The above likeness of Temple is a self-portrait for which he was awarded, a first -prize $300.00 in a competitive showing at the Academy of Fine Arts two years ago, over fifteen competing: artists, all of whom were past-winners of traveling scholarships. Young Temple-is a son ®f Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Temple of Dunn. Manufacture of Margarine Consuming Surplus. Oils. A market for cotton seed oil is not one of the things that will fail cotton growers. The oleomargine ibusiness seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. Nearly five times as many pounds of cotton seed oil were used in the manufac ture of margarine last April as were used in April 1934, Over 11,000,000 pounds of cotton seed oil were thus used last April, and it is estimated that 125,000,000 of cot ton seed oil will be used during 1935 in margarine j making. The use of beef fats, soja bean oil, pea nut oil, and other American oils have shown immense increases. The use oi imported cocoanut ou nas in creased only 30 percent, against over 500 percent for cotton oil dur ing the first four months of the year, 1160 percent for soy bean oil, land 107 percent for peanut oil. In addition -to the immense use of American oils, the modern method of manufacture of margar ines—churning the oils in pasteur ized milk—a doubling of the milk used is to be noted. It is authorita tively estimated that the manufac ture of margarines this -year will, require one hundred million pounds of milk. ' The Kloberg bill, being consider ed.by the agricultural committee of the house of representatives, .would levy a tax of ten cents a pound'upon margarines produced from foreign made oils. If that bill'becomes law, J it is evident that the demand (for ( American produced oils vHll be greatly increased. - r Unfortuhately the cotton crop cannot be increased jo$t to allow a greater production of <cbtton oil ito Jill - the growing market, but the sup ply of soja bean and peanut oils may be indefinitely enlarged. The authority which I have here quoted does not say what has been the effect of the enlarged use of margarines upon the demand for butter. Former Members of School Commission Re-appointed. Governor Ehringhaus 'has re-ap pointed the members of the former school commission for the following two years. If any group in the state deserved such official acknowl edgement of efficiency the members of that school commission did. With a minimum of funds the commis sion has kept the schools going for two years, and done it in such an efficient manner that the schools have suffered very little, as I see it. Of the small group of Commis sioners this section has two,- A. McL. Graham of Clinton and John A. Oates of . Fayetteville, arid a third if you go. a little further over to Laurinburg. Mr. Oates was ap pointed to the commission only a few months ago, succeeding-Sena tor Walter Powell of Columbus. LeRoy- Martin has been re-elect ed as executive secretary.. It is he upon whom the burden of the ad ministration has fallen, and all that was said above with respect to the efficiency of the commission may be duplicated with icspect to Mr. Mar gin. I_ The school commission takes yfrom the educational department all "*he questions of finance and leaves the department free to de vote its whole attention to the ad ministration of the schools them sehres. The 'dual administration should serve to give the state a bet ter business service and also a ifeek-dr . But Whose e : Labor, Prey? . . Roger JBabson says that “capital is only stored-up labor and interest is merely the wage paid for saving.” But whose- labor* pray? And is Mr. IBabson quite sure that the fellows - who draw .the interest as wages for saving actually deny themselves of anything? Too much of the capital of modern days could better be de fined as the grain from reapings where one has not sown. How did IFord build up his great capital: Note that his profits at recent wages were so great that he can increase wages to the extent of ten million dollars a year, on a basis of some thing like 200 work days for his em ployees receiving nhe increase, and yet still be making profits. That is, on a million-car production basis he has increased v ages to the extent of ten dollars a car. And you may bet that his profits are still enor mous. ihe profit ~trom many a Ford (which became capital) lias entailed the “storing-up” of many a poor cotton grower’s labor re quired to make two bales of cotton. Yes; capital is “stored-up labor,” but too often that of a fellow who gets no interest on his pinch-penny living. And the Ford company is only an example. The 75-cent a day man has a hard time of storing up any of his own labor for use as capital. - “Mike” Gets Off A Good One. The Dispatch’s Horry County Irishman, in his column in the Tues day Dispatch, gets off one of his best. Let me repeat it, lest you have failed to ^ee it. Says Mike: “In ,the Great Hereafter we don’t believe the good Lord is gonna condemn a lot of the present-day younger generation -after He finds out who their parents were.” Yes,"Mike ; it is hard to be surprised when we see young black crows emerging from a black crow’s nest. Mike may have meant the para graph for a joke, but it contains a, warning that many might well pon der. If the business men of the towns are going to have half-holidays this summer, it would be an advantage to the traveling fraternity for all the towns to have the holiday on the same afternoon. .Wednesday seems to be the favorite afternoon. If every traveling salesman or pro fessional rftan needing to make a business trip knew that Wednesday afternoon is a holiday, he could govern his movements accordingly. 'But to go to a town on Thursday afternoon, say, and find the busi ness section deserted is expensive and embarrassing. We have expe rienced such luck. Little .Distinction In Graduating These Days. The lists of college graduates have become so long that one can scarcely afford to prowl through the whole lists to see- what names he '.recognizes. A glance at the Duke list of six hundred shows that per haps much over,half the number are from other states. Forty years ago it would have seemed hazardous to predict that within two-score years hundreds and thousands of students would be coming from northern and western states to a North Carolina college, or university. The N. C. University roll shows a similar state of affairs. Graduation never has amounted to much, of course, but at least we fellows of older times did have the distinction of having our names seen in the graduating lists —they were wshort enough then to be read by anybody.J '■itimt V* ■. ! ..... r;.,;II., - T-* ter educational program. Thus far it is very evident that th$ former .effect has-been produced.' ,
