F. McMahon. the Kaleigh labor leader, expressed a preference for one or the three candidates run ning for the gubernatorial nomina tion, he was roundly denounced over the state, and his Instructions to labor to vote for his particular can didate was termed 'Manor domina tion," and usurpiion. Yet when he came out the other day In another Statement urging his followers to vote the edmocratic ticket from pres ident on down he was vigorously ap plauded. This little Incident illus trates the vicissitudes of politics, and (Ives one an Insight into the human side of the game. WHERKIX MR. PARKER HAS RENDERED A SERVICE. Mr. Parker has rendered a' service to the state by his repeated references in his campaign speeches to our low educational status. Statistics, which he quoted, showing that North Caro lina stood near the bottom of the list of states In point of illiteracy, and that about sixteen per cent of . the North Carolinians in the late war were unable to read or write, did not "set well" with his hearers; and, justly indignant, they have been en quiring as to the cause of this la mentably poor record. No fault can be found with the sys tem; Mr. Parker, if by perchance is elected, could not improve upon It. The fault lies with the people; who, teeped In their own selflishness, and saturated with silly sentiment for the "little one-room school house," have moved heaven and earth to defeat the Stale Superintendent of Public In struction's school consolidation pro. ct. Unanswerable arguments, and financial Inducements of all sorts have heretofore failed to convince the masses of the wastefullness, the Inefficiency, and the ineffectiveness of the one -room scnool. As a rule, people are more concerned over the distance their children have to walk , to reach the school house than they are over model equipment and good teachers. Mr. Parker's election could not have changed this attitude of the people, but his attacks on Illiteracy have served to awaken men of influ ence who will devote some effort to educating their community to the ef ficacy of the school consolidation Idea; and for this he is due the thanks of an enlightened people. THE "JUr AX -JAZZ" ERA HAS rASSED IXTO HISTORY Reckless Pleasure Seeking in Pane ing and Spending Bring" Morning Aletr etting Rack on Job. (Prom the Sioux City Tribune.) It began with the craze for Uano ' ing about a year before the world war opened. Dancing had always had (Jevottes It has enjoyed popularity for 10,000 years but this was a new kind of dancing and a new kind of popularity. Suddenly ail divisions of society went crary at the Tieels. Peo ple danced at breakfast, between the oatmeal and bacon and eggs; danced at luncheon while the soup was going down and the roast beef was coming up. They danced at afternoon teas, danced at dinner between the close Of the theatre and the opening or the bedroom door; danced on 8undayn to celebrate victory at golf, or to Um ber up after a long automobile ride. They danced at the Rlts and Bellevue nd they also danced at less preten tious places where population swarm ed. Some of the dances were Indes cribable; all of the music was bang, Clang, better skelter jaxs. Boys and girls, old men and wo men, high, low, Jack and the game all danced, all caught the craze. Then the scene shifted and the wild Jazz was succeeded by a wilder Jag. Everybody tried to outbid, to outspend everybody else. The dollar shirt of the "dollai a day" man grad uated Into .the 18 silk shirt of the worker who had his dollar an hour to get rid of. The homely but heal thy potato was advanced on the ho tel bill of fare to the old price tag of succulant terrapin. Bread and butter was no longer thrown In as a gift, but charged for. The "service charge made Its appearance; the "tip" outgrew all old time limits. Everybody was buying everything, chiefly what they did not want and had never thought of buying In days before the "Jag" era dawned. We had patriotic "Jaggs" and overwork ed and oversubscribed business "Jags," during which we overtaxed and iver?ambled. Good excesses and bad excesses, but always and in ev erything the picture was overdrawn. That was the "Jag" era. Alcohol Is not the only Intoxicant, we made nse or all the others. Now' the war it over. Our pleasure love which ran riad In the "Jazz" era; gambling, that ran mad In the "Jag" era, have come to the Inevitable end, with new proof or the- old truth, "they who danci. miist pay the piper. What next? Why after "Jazz" nd "Jag" we come back to the joy; back to the good old American plan expressed lu the phrase, "In the sweat of his face man shall earn his bread," earn his bread first, with a possibility of terrapin afterwards; .but earn bis bread, and earn bread or buying powers for somebody else. Itw hack on the "Job." back on the Job with brain and brawn, with mind and souU It Is op to each one of ua to plajr the grand old game of fathers W the republic, according to the grand old rules embodied la the ten fornnan-lments and the tnultlnjlca tlon fable. We've "jazsed'and "Jagced" long enough; let's get back CO !h ' Job" and stay there. LECilOX TEAM EXPECTS TO Wl.X EASILY FROM KKiHS la the l.lne-lp for the Soldier Are Some Heavyweight Like Howie and Sander. One of the greatest eventa Includ ed In the hue celebration which is being prepared for on Armistice Day is the football game between a team from the local post of the American Legiou and the Monroe High School, which will be ataged at 3 p. m at Roberts' Field. The Monroe High School team, which Is recognized as cne of the best high school teams in the state. Is In excellent condition. They are antlcl- Ipating the game with the American Legion with great Interest and with renewed strength, and while tbey re alire they have before them a tre mendous task, they are expressing their oplnlnoa as being confident of victory. The American Legion team Is now in the midst of ardent preparat'on for the great battle, and each day new warriors reoort for practice. For the past week the squad has been drilled In receiving, passing, and re covering the ball and tackling. This week they entered upon signal prac tice and formations. The husky war riors of the Legion are manifesting great Interest in practicing and are displaying great form. By the day of the game, the fast and heavy Le gion football machine expects to be moving as a unit, and all of Its mem bers are anxiously awaiting the sound of the referee's whistle when they ex pert to conquor the highs In fine style.
