The British authorities' powers were confined to assuring that the fleet did not steam out to sea or open lire.

Another report from Mr. Kohloss said, "the judge made what is said to have been the ablest charge ever delivered from the, bench." This he gave a. evidence of "whole-hearted .up port of the court, etc." The utterances at the White House yesterday no way reflect oh International Revenue Commis sioner Blair for he is having but little to do with the enforcement or tne prohibition acta.

He reported that he had made a personal in. vestlgaubn and found the Greens boro office so overcrowded that It was necessary to conduct soma of the business outside. Mr. Langley told hint that he would introduce a bill to combat the short-comings ot the Greens boro office. Mr. Langley. statement 1. in teresting In that It shows the gen eral policy to be followed In re gard to public buildings. There Is his methods and what he exnectn to grain by this unique scheme of oampaigning. He Is depending al most entirely on the newspapers. Should they cease in thel consid eration or nia . contributions the public would forget him asan out standing political figure on short notice. This is plainly evident and Mr. Bailey apparently realizes it. Hence, his constant flow of articles, which, doubtlees, he himself, would like to discontinue. Hi.

He hit four thoughts cuncTiruing an airs or state that he assumed, or hoped, would have a public appeal, and into this he camouflaged another attack on Revenue Commissioner A. D. Watts, the man whose close friendship he suddenly threw away a few months ago. Mr. Bailey's only chance to be come Governor is to pull a political miracle, a la Gifford Plnchot. Plnchot did In Pennsylvania what Mr. Bailey thinks could be done in North Carolina. He Is the Bailey ioea or personal politics par ex cellence, it would seem. To pull a stunt like Plnchot is supposed to have pulled is the only chance Bailey has of getting Into the Gov ernor's mansion, -and hi. only ally in mis respect l. publicity.

The visit of the Indiana Senator to the White House followed n conference in his office at which a number of senator from west ern .Utea talked over a possible legislative program acceptable to the west. Picturing to the President how the farmer, are generally unable to get enough for their crops to pay for harvesting and shipping while consumers pay high prices, Senator Watson urged the imme diate necessity of some forceful program to pul agriculture on its feet and aqueeze out the long line of profit taking between producer and consumer.
