We scrap u pair of ships in the

After all, it is better to scrap our

Perhaps one reason why so many
jn'ople are interested in school teach
ing is that it is about the only line
in which salaries and wages haven't
been cut during the slump.
II the Senate does not confirm
?fudge -fohn J. Parker as associate
justice of the Supreme Court, every
liody will know why, and nobody in
North Carolina, Democrat or Repub
lican, will feel good over it.
The census id taken as the basis
for readjustment of congressional
representation. That is the mandate
of rlic Constitution. Yet, since the
I!*20 census the House has- .remained
unchanged; so why so fo the ex
pence ot this one?
Speaking of moral issues; we said,
when America refused to join the
league of Nations and to assume her
place in the moral force, of the world
i'i?r |ieacc and justice,, that we were
pitching our tent toward Sodom; and
now take a look at us!

The amendments are the only part,
??r the Constitution that keep the
p.ople in turmoil and bedevil the
cautioijs politician into sleepless;
nights, wondering what he should do
or say to get the. most votes. The
men who framed the oriipual did a
line. job.
Uep.ibliean Stale Convention in
Charlotte resolved the "superior'
moral force" of the Republican
party. Our nnderstanding had al- ?
ways been that it was political, not J
moral differences that divided part- i
iesj but it the Charlotte convention
wauled !<? draw its garments about
it and resolve that it is thankful;
that it is not as other men are, we *
shall offer no objection to its doing,
so.
CENSUS TAKING
All civic organizations everywhere
strive to increase the population of i
thciv towns; and nil towns and cities!
an* anxious that the censns show;
I hem to have great numbers of people
We have often wondered why,
viiiec th?; greatness ol' a town or a
??ountry can not be measured by nu
merical count; but by the happiness
of the people. j
According to Holy Writ, there arej
more people in Hell than anywhere |
else in the Universe; bnt nobody|
went# to go there.
Cbiuo has t"hc largest population
o l' all the nations; but who wants to
move to China ?
New York is the largest city in
America; yet few of us would ex
change our lot in our small towns
or smiling eoutryswlc for the side-!
walks of New York.
Some of the most disagreeable.1
runi offensive localities are the most,1
densely populated; and some of the i
most delightful places on the earth |
si re where there are few people.
ll is not in numbers, but in qual-'
itv of j)opulation that we are to find ?
the measure of the greatness of u|
town.
It is th simple things of life that I
?tie good, and true, and great, and!
:it'tord true happiness and lasting!
joy. . ,
I hen, why all this pother about1
wantiug our towns to be big in num- j
Wers? We are continually getting all
hot und bothered aud making a great
ado over things that don't amount

PAJRKINO PARKER
The assertion contained in a tele
gram from the secretary of the Soci
ety tor the Advancement of Colored
People to Governor Gardner, that
lives and property of Negroes in
Greensboro and Winston-Salem are
in danger from white Republicans
trying to coerce Negroes to sign en
dorsements of Judge Parker, is not
only a ridiculous falsehood out of
a perverted mind and alwisted soul,
hut is an insult to the State of
North Carolina and our people. What
are they trying to do? Resort to old
Tluul Steven's ancient standby of
('?Southern atrocities"? The Negro
organization has long been an impu-j
dent intruder into political affairs;
! and we hope that it will not be ablo
to boast having blocked the confirm-^
ation of a North Carolinian appoint-;
'ed to the Supreme Court.
STUDENTS CROWD CULLOWHEE
Cullowhee, April 24?From pres-j
erit indications, the community of;
Cullowhee is going to be taxed1'as.
never before in its history to care'
for college students for the next six J
weeks. The largest number of stud
ents ever attending Western Carolina'
Teachers College at any one time be
fore was 350, in the first' sumcr term
in 192K. \To term in the regular ses
sion ever approximated this figure in
enrollment. However, it now seems
.?ertain that the new students enter
ing on the 28th will give an actual
enrollment for the third quarter of
400 or more.
If the new dormitory, Reuben Rob
ertson Hall, now under construction
could have been ready for occupancy,
easily solved; but as it is, the homes
ot' the community are being crowded
with students. Members of the facul
ty are opening their homes to stud
ents in au effort to help accommo
date the unexpected numbers. Presi
ident and Mrs. Hunter will have a
half dozen or more students in their
home. Application^ are still coming
