P. PROGRAM OF
NORMALCY IS SLOW
IN GETTING STARTED
Kicks From the Country Moving the
President to Action Is Trying to
Stir up Congress to Do Something
(H. E. C. Bryant in Charlotte Ob.)
Washington, June 29. President
Harding is trying to speed up Con-1 fact
gress so the country can return to
"normalcy." Some noisy republicans
back home have commenced to ask
why the G. O. P. program is not hur
ried along. The country is full of
folks who are very critical, although
they voted for Normalcy, "Why don't
you do what you promised?" is the in
sistent cry. Everybody conversant
with conditions at home and abroad
knew that the republicans to get in
were promising anything desired with
out any thought of carrying out their
pledges. Now they are having a hard
time.
July 4 the President will have been
in the White House four mouths. July
.lawlessness by the many who give him
laid and comfort by partonizing his
.business. And there you are.
The so-called "good citizen" who
violates the "stupid" laws which he
does not approve and encourage dis
respect for them, is morally a great
er criminal than the highwaymen or
J;he booze-peddler who kills those who
would stop him. It is the business of
the former to uphold and encourage
respect for law. He knows his duty
and does it not and his example en
courages others to break laws who
have a right to look to him for leadership.
There is no getting away irom me
The hurher-up law-breakers
who are not called criminals, are mor
ally no better, if not worse, than the
common desperado, who follows their
example and teaching. Mr. Craven is
right. Until we bow to the law sim
ply because it is law and teach respect
for the obedience to it, we get no
where in our hypocritical warfare
against lawlessness. When we think
laws are wrong it is our privilege to
agitate for a change. But in doing
that we want to be caretul mat we
dont go to the extreme of creating
disrespect for and disobedience to the
law which we would repeal or modify
because we can't bring one statute in
to contempt without some other which
we may respect and revere being
broueht into contempt by others who
have a different viewpoint; and es
pecially do we want to get the view-
THEN MAY HEAVEN SAVE US!

WHAT IS A COLLEGE
DIPLOMA WORTH?
Irving T. Bush, in Forbes.
"Success is not an accident,' is the
motto carved in the mantlepiece of
the large room where our workmen

did not eet that in three months we
have plunged into dsspair and some
men in high public places have denied
that our dead soldiers ever had any
world vision of any unselfish devotion.
In view of one such utterance be
yond the sea, it has been suggested
that the inscription on our memorial
gateway at Brown should be changed;
that it should no longer reao, "iney
gave their lives that freedom may en
dure." but rather. "They gave their
lives because they were afraid not to
fight."
All those fortv-three whose names
are on that gateway I knew personal
ly. And while we recognize tnat no
human being acts from one motive
alone, I know those men went forth
not to save their skins, but to save
America and more than that, to save
the principles on which America is
founded, to save liberty in both
America and Europe from brute torce
of autocracy and tyranny, li we
cannot be noble today, heaven save us
from denying that we were noble yes
terday.
three months. Yet, the record is not
a good one. None of the great things
promised by the republicans in the last
campaign have been accomplished.
The record of Congress to date is the
passage of the emergency tariff bill
which was passed by the last con
gress and vetoed by President Wilson,
and a deficiency measure.
These are some of the measures
promised but not yet ready for the
President's signature.
The general tariff bill, the tax re
valuation bill, the peace resolution,
the army bill, the navy bill, the bill
to reguate grain exchanges, the bill
to regulate the packers, the materni
ty and infancy bill, are proposed good
measures.
The Sixtv-seventh Congress had no
constructive legislation to its credit.
It is promised that the general tar
iff bill bill be ready to report to the
house within 10 days to two weeks,
but it will be late summer or early
fall before it passes the senate.
The tax revision promised by Presi
dent Harding on the stump has not
been scheduled. Leaders of the house
plan to take it up immediately after
the tariff bill goes to the senate. It
will be months before and readjust
ment of the taxes will be in sight.
There is promise of a big fight over
this part of the republican program.
After the peace resolution is out of
the way the president will have to
negotiate a treaty with Germany. No
definite foreign relations policy has
been announced or outlined by the administration.
The army is in conference. The
navy bill has been agreed upon by the
conferences, but the house and senate
have not as yet passed on the confer-
enc report.
Legislation for th regulation of the
grain exchanges has passed the house
but is tied up in the senate, where it
will be apt to remain, for Senator
Penrose has announced that no gener
al legislation will be enacted at this
session
A bill to regulate the packers is
now in conference but it is charged by
Senator LaFollette that is was written
by attorneys for the packers.
The maternity and infancy measure
urged by the National League of Wo
men Voters and other women's organi
zations is hung up indefinitely. Presi
dent Harding promised early action
on this last Congress, but never got
through the hrrse.
In spite of the clamor for public
roads legislation the republican lead
ers are slow to press a bill. They have
,!,.! ved thn consideration of ine or
more prop ised pills.
tv mav think some law foolish and
impracticable, if the people the ma
jority approve it, it is the business
of the minority to bow to decision.
Our personal objection to laws and
regulations do not always mean that
the laws are wrong.
other fellow." The reason wfty one
man does a task a little better than
someone else is usually because he
thinks about it a little harder; so
that anything that teaches a boy to
think is irood for him. If a college
education teaches a boy to think, he
is better off with it than he would be
without it The quality of ambition
is also essential to success. Men who
have worked their way through col
lege do not expect something for
nothing Their immediate concern is
not to find an easy way to make a
living but to find an opening or make
one which holds promise of future
usefulness. They are not looking for
promotion but rather i'or an oppor

FACING THE UNKNOWN
New York Times.
Several clergymen have referred in
the pulpit to the letter written by the
late ex-Secretary Jane giving an ac
count of his thoughts and sensations
just before undergoing a capital oper
ation. His eager curiosity as to where
and how he might awake, in case of a
fatal result, his attitude of cheerful
acauiescence in what ever fate might
await him, naturally appealed to those
called upon to teach and preach about
immortality.
There was nothing especially new in
Mr. Lane's reflections except as he
gave them unusually vivid expression.
It is common for thoughtful men to
"consider their latter end," at least in
the sence of wondering with how
much fortitude they may be able to
meet death when it comes. In the
actual hour of trial, so physicians as
sure us, most of the dying are quite
unaware of their condition. The ques
tion is, rather, of anticipatory reason
ings and emotions when in health.
These a man ordinarily keeps to him
self. If he has so extreme a shrink
ing from the thought of death as had
Dr. Johnson, he does not like to talk
about it. And knowing that he has to
submit to the common lot of mortals
he sees no use and certainly no merit
in announcing his resignation to the
inevitaoie. . .
In his historv of the Crimean War
Kinklake spoke of "the unlabeled, un
docketed frame of mind which shall
enable a man to encounter the Un
known." Obviously, such a mental at
titude may be cherished, but it cannat
well be set forth in words or bruited
abroad.

RESPECT FOR LAW.
Htnlesville Landmark.
Mr. Bruce Graven, writing in the
Oreenshoro News on the subject of
lawlessness, remarks:
"Next to the Almighty God, I wor
ship the law. Because a
thing is law my hat is off to it. The
law, whatever it is, has my respect
and obedience.'
The News calls this bosh and enu
merates a few enactments, and b per
cent, interest law being one, which it
characterizes as "stupidities." That
paper is sure that "no intelligent
man" who has studied the statutes
which it characterizes as 'stupidities'
can have anv respect for them, even
if he does ohev them.
Mr Craven mav have gone a little
far in professing profound respect for
.all law, but that is his custom; the
News goes about as far the other
, way, which is not its custom. This
naDer is butting in only to say that
the basis of all our trouble with re
spect to law is lack of respect for law
.in eeneral and disobedience follows as
naturally as night follows day. If we
don't approve a law we think it fool
ishness and it is but a step from that
to the idea that we have a perfect
right to disregard the law if we dis
approve it very much; and then if we
think we can get by with it we pro
ceed to become law-breakers. We may
not commit murder or rob a bank
but morally we are no better than
those who do. It may not appeal to
us to be so crude and raw in our
methods, so instead of robbing a bank
we charge usurious interest rates and
salve our consciences by saying the
lav is "stupid."
Then after we, Messrs, Good Citi
zens .have violated the law with ref
erence to listing propertv for taxation
and such other laws and ordinances
as we don't think necessary or it isn't
convenient for us to obey, we go to
the meeting at the law and order
league and declaim against lawless
ness in general. We would send all
the blind tiger operators to the
roads, conveniently forgetting that
the booze peddler is in the same boat
with us and is as good as we are mor
ally. He has no respect for the pro
hibition law. To him it is a foolish
enactment and by the process of reas
oning mentioned he proceeds to disre
gard it; and he feels comforted in his

THE CAVERNS OF LURAY
IN TUB midst of the broad winding

ine "Daughter of the Stars" as the In

of mountains known as the Massa-

Ten miles west Is Cave Hill, unaer
which is one of our great natural
curiosities the Luray Caverns, to
which have come to wonder, study and
admire, scientists, explorers and tour

Here the mysterious workings of
nature have produced a veritable un
derground fairy palace, with miles of
passageways lined with an Infinite
variety of curious, gigantic and won
derful formations. Almost every
objeet of nature seems to be repro
duced with surprising reality. The in
describably fantastic groupings ot
the weird and grotesque formations,
the beauty and the coloring of the
titanic tapestry effects and the trans
lucent and symmetrical arrangement
appear to be the handiwork of nature
in a playful mood.

feet in length by 125 feet in width
Others possess lofty, arched and elab

"Under its former foreign policy it

have we now, in the selfish spirit of
this new regime, set out upon a policy

lost the respect of the diplomats of the

we need not expect to remove ourselves
from the category or selfish exclusiv

nothing can remain but discontent,

Statesville Landmark
Dr. Brooks, State superintendent cf
schools, estimates that expenditures
for schools the coming school year
will exceed estimated revenues by ap
proximately three-quarter million dol
lars; that while the school funds be-
ieved to be in sight aggregate tne
rise of fourteen million dollar, fifteen
millions will be necessary to pay the
school bill. This lack of funds will be
further complicated by the heavy re
ductions in property values in many
of the counties.
The increased cost of school worn,
Dr. Brooks shows, is not aue to un
reasonable increase in teachers sala

been and is an insistant demand for
better aualified teachers and the de

Not a few women and children par-
and, Columbia, have revealed the frame of
the Harding administration to capturt
the white South for the Republican
party and at the same time hold the
neeroes of the North in line, accord-
ine to the view of independent od-
servers. This double frame is liKe at.
of its kind to play each end against
the middle and fool both. The negroes
are to be fooled with the hope of a
force bill which will reduce Southern
representation in Congress and the
white people of North Carolina and
Georgia are to be fooled with the pro
mise that a tariff will raise the price
of their cotton, tobacco and peanuts
The Linney hearing was a smooth
piece of camouflage, and the real
meaning of it was not detected until
the Johnson nomination followed.

disgust and humiliation the Boone

election to support the Republican par
ty at the polls as a "white man s par
ty" His name was put to this docu
ment by Col. Ike Meekins and A. A
Hoitnn while he was 111, and, accord
ing them, without hia knowledge. If
the Republicans had won North Caro
lina the negroes would not have dared
to resurrect this ghost against Linney
if ho had wanted to repudiate this sig
nature of his name before or after the
election! and probably did not) it
would have been no political service to
-hip nnrtv.
But with his nomination ior oisir.uv

white ithost.' Linney was toia oy w

and others too dumfounded to seize
the cue at first .
Linney read pointedly into the ears
of Senators Ernst and Cummins (of
Iowa) from campaign books of the
Democrats as a proof of the slavery
and degradation the party of Senator
Overman had brought upon the people
of North Carolina. Mr. Overman's flor
id face deepened in color but he re
mained silent under his provocation
because of his long years in the Sen'
ate.
Two statements of Linney attracted
special attention. He said he was op
posed to illiterates voting. He did
not designate the color. Then he
closed with the statement that his
father, Col R. Z. Linney, while a mem
ber of Congress, had introduced two
force bills to cut down the represents
tion of the South in the House. He
said that he himself had advocated
this policy from the stump in North
Carolina.
