In the 150-odd years of its national life, the United States has been com paratively free from violence against its public officials. Foes of men in high office and their policies have for the most part been content to get ther vengeance through the ballot. With that weapon in their hands, j there has been no place for the as- | sassin. and in only a few instances have they gotten in their dastardly work. ‘•Ballots, not bullets,” is the American way. Huey Long was poison to a large element of Americans. Vastly more of our people have been against his “share.the-wealth” idea and his “$5,- *OOO for every family” program than have teen for it. In a sense of the word “every man is a king” already in this country. The individual Has been more or less free —at least until lately—to carve his own destiny. The Louisiana senator has been denounc ed as a demagogue and as a menace to ordinary American institutions. He has been looked upon as what most people choose to term a radical. Men who are today generous and sym pathetic in their expressions of regret at his assassination wre only yester day belching forth denunciations of his doctrines, and some of them mak ing strong remarks about him per sonally. But with all this, there is no place in the American picture for such violence as that which removed the Louisiana dictator from the scene as a factor in the nation’s oplitical life. For our own part, the only thing we have ever admired about Huey Long was his courage to stand up and argue, most of the time single handed, for the things in which he believed. We have always worshiped that trait in every man who has pos sessed it —and heaven knows there are precious few who have it. Violence is not the way to stamp out dangerous political dogma. As sassinations tend only t 0 popularize faith in such creeds. Those who dis agreed with Huey Long will fool only themselves if they ttiink his death means the obliteration of the things he preached. On the contrary, it iis highly probable that we shall see these ideals gain momentum and take hold on a still greater number of peo ple in this country. Americans have been accustomed to look upon the shooting of political leaders in Europe and cast a “holiei. than-thou’’ glance at nations infest ed with such a spirit. But a form of violence such as removed Huey Long from the American political scene make us in this free country more like Europe. God save us from the natural consequences of this type of conduct on the part of native-born citizens of this land. $70,000,000 State Share Works Funds (Continued from Page One.) was S7O 000,000, while $30,000,000 of that amount already had been allo cated for CCC camps. Federal high ways, rural resettlements and sub sistence homesteads. Over 300 PWA applications have been filed in the State office at Chapel Hill for an outly of $46,000,- 000, while more than 11,000 projects total $50,000,000. The delegation, including Governor* Ehringhaus, Senator J. W. Bailey and Representative Robert L. Doughton, of Spara, was told by Hopkins in a conference yesterday that the State was assured of a $7,000,000 share in the huge Federal relief fund. “Mr. Hopkins went s 0 far as to state this was a bookkeeping matter and that North Carolina’s share was fixed on the books,” Ehringhaus, Bailey and Doughton said in a joint statement.

Henry, are the most imitated of all American literary works. TODAY’S YESTERDAYS 125 Years ago Today— James Pol lock was born in Milton. Pa., destined to be a notable factor in the promo tion of the first railroad to the Paci fic. a governor of Pennsylvania and. for manv years a Director of the Mint As the latter, he was responsible for placing God. absent from the Con stitution, upon our coins. (See Writ ing Wrongs) His phrase In God We Trust was first impressed upon money—on 2c coins—in 1964. Original slogan on U. S. coins was Mind Your Business. Sept 11, 1814—Americans defeated British in’the Battle of Plattsburg— Lake Champlain was the only bat tle in U S. history in which Army and Navy engaged a foreign enemy simultaneously 9 While Commander Thomas Mac donough. 31, with 14 ships, shatter ed a British fleet of 16 vessels under Commodore Andrew Downie. 6.000 U. S. soldiers under Brig. Gen. Alexander Macomb. 32. routed 12.000 Britons un der Sir George Prevost, ashore. Thus a second time, U. S. fighters did what no foreign force had done befo|e: defeat a British squadron. Sept. 11. 1.841—A situation unpre cedented in U. S. history confronted John Tyler. 10th President. Every member of his Cabinet except one sent him their resignations—in protest over his veto of a bill providing for a federal bank. The exception was Daniel Webster, who as Secretary of State, was in line for the Presidency. William Henry Harrison’s death that Spring, a month after inauguration, had pro moted Tyler to the Presidency and was no vice president. The “Cabinet Strike” failed to make Tyler yield. He named a new one and succeeded in getting it confirm ed . Sept. 11, 1851 —Sylvester Graham, a native of Suffield. Conn., died at 57 having learned that Vegetarianism didn’t prolong life. He’s worth remembering because Graham bread is named for him. Sept. 11, 1861—President Abraham Lincoln forbade emancipation of slaves! He revoked the order of the com mander of the western department, Maj. Gen. John C. Fremont, freeing the slaves of all those in his terri tory bearing arms against the United States. (It was the next September that Lincoln issued his own emancipation proclamation, setting free slaves in rebel territory). THE WORLD WAR 20 YEARS AGO TODAY Sept. 11, 1915 —The British won an other battle with the Turks retreating toward Bagdad. At a point seven miles east of Kut el-Amara, two brigades crossed the Tigris River from the right bank, and forced marches reached the left wing of the Turkish position, carry ing it by assa lit. This campaign in the Persian Gulf, while completely overshadowed by the great battlefields of France and Rus sia, had a strategical importance of the first order.

In Mesepotamia there was no fixed line of trenches, the antagonists fought old-fashioned war such as had become obsolete in Europe, with cav alry sweeps providing as effective as they had on this same terrain in the day of Alexander the Great. Many a British soldier yearned for the Flanders trenches. Floods earlier in the year had made marshes of much of the British line of defense, and that meant mosquitoes and fever. There was no shade, and often it was 110 degrees at dawn. Water was doled out more sparingly than food. WRITING WRONGS You're in error if yea suppose— That this is a Christian nation. It isn’t except in the sense that Christianity is the prevailing religion of the people. Legally, it is not a Christian nation. John G. Pollard, ex-governor of Virginia, decided: “Notwithstanding the dicta of some of the courts to the contrary, this is not a Christian na tion . . . Christians in this country are entitled to no special rights or privileges . . • This is not a Chris tian nation in a religious sense, for religion is strictly a personal mat ter. Men are not saved by nations, but as individuals.” ... History shows that both state and church flourish most when they are separate and distinct.” Also, you’re wrong if you believe — That the bag-pipe is a Scottish musical instrument. There are even doubts if it is a musical instrument! It was intro duced by the Romans into England and was popular both there and in Ireland before it was taken up in Scotland. r TODAY r TODAY”S ANNIVERSARIES 1744—Sarah Bache, daughter of Benpamin Franklin, remembered for her good works in Revolutionary days, born in Philadelphia.
