If you don't believe me you go home
and the next time that 14-year-old
daughter of yours starts to galavant
over to Waynesville, Henderson vale.
Morganton, Hickory or some other
neighboring town to a dance, you try
to stop her. I tell you, fathers, bol
shevism, anarchy and hell will break
loose in your home.
"You say, 'Mack, how about your
boys and girls; will they ever go
around the country to dance?' Well,
I tell you folks when you see them
at a dance you imay say, 'Well, it's
too bad; McLendon is dead.' If I am
not boss of my children I tell you
people there will be a head-on col
lision in th eMcLendon home," the
preacher exclaimed amid laughter
and applause.
"It's high time you fathers and
i mothers began to ask why from your
i children and see where they go. I
i have a lot of mothers come to me
and say "Please pray for Willie and
. Jimmie,' and then I ask, 'What's the
matter with Willie or Jimmie?' and
they say, 'Well, he smokes cigarettes
and stays out late at night.' I take
a look at the boy and I can tell you
exactly what Willie and Jinnmie. need.
They need a step-mother with some
sense and religion and a father with
a strong right arm and some back
tone. It's time you fathers and
mothers quirt jelly-fishing around the
home and put a little more bone there
in your backs."
Some of the statements of his ser
mon were:
"A lot of you people are 9aying,
'Must I, Lord?' instead of 'May I,
Lord.' "
"Some of you church members are
like my old grand-daddy's well down
in Montgomery county dry in the
suunmer and froze over in the win
ter." "There is a whole bunch of you
who can't tell the difference between
righteousness and biliousness."
TO
LINNEY WILL NOT BE ABLE
GET BY, IT IS SAID
The Morehead-Linney political ma
chine, called the "hog combine" by
Marion Butler, will have to find an
other candidate for district attorney
for the western part of the State, ac
cording to H. E. C. Bryant, Wash
ington correspondent of the Charlotte
Observer. The nomination of Frank
A. Linney will either be withdrawn
by the White House or rejected by
the Senate. The protest of the ne
groes, because of the letter propatjing
an agreement to eliminate the colored
voter, has put fear in the hearts of
Senators from close States.
From information in my possess
ion, sa; Mr. Bryant, I am sure that
the President will be asked to recall
the Linney rumination. The. request
will be made by administration lead
ers in the Senate, who cannot face
nr. angry negro constituency.
Senator Borah has indicated a
willingness to "pass" Linney if he
will convince him that if he is con
firmed he will enforce the laws "re
gardless of race or color," and see
that the negro is "protected in his
rights," just as he would for the
white man. But. the ball has keen
started and there is no way to stop it.
Some of the leading friends of the
President have told him that they
eould not be re-elected to the Senate
if they voted for Linney in the face
of that famous letter. It is under
stood that Senator Ernst will tell Mr.
Harding that it will be impossible to
get enough votes to report the iom
ination from the judiciary committee.
"Nothing that has happened here
in recent years has given Republi
cans such a fright as the Linney af
fair," says the correspondent.
"The protest of the North Carolina
negroes does not especially interest
the. Republican Senators, but what
the negro in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio
and Illinois says is more important.
It was pointed out there that if Sen
ator New. for instance, voted to con
firm Linney former Senator Bever
idge would takea the protest of the
negroes and go up and down Indiana
and defeat him for the nomination.
That tells the story in a nutshell.
'The North Carolina Republicans
might as well decide on another man.
for Mr. Linney, regardless of his
popularity, is not going to get by.
The efforts of President Harding and
Daugherty have failed to convince
Senators that they can go to the bat
for Linney. Within the next few-
days the Republican members the
sub-committee, of which Mr. Ernst is
chairman, will get together and out
line a policy and then act.
The withdrawal of Mr. Linney
imgnt also mean the dropping of the
Campbell-Doughton contest Negro
leaders here assert that the Drincinle
Involved in "the Campbell campaign
is quite as important to their politi
cal future as that in the Linney let
ter. They could not prevent favor
able action on Campbell if he vera
honestly elected, but they would keep
him from being lugged in to add an-
' other Republican."
VINDICATING WILSON
(Atlanta Constitution)
Events are vindicating the Wood
row Wilson policy as regards the re
lations between the United States
and the rest of the world, even sooner
than was to have been expected.
Not only that, but the policy of the
senatorial irreconcilables to damn
and denounce everything sponsored
by Woodrow Wilson is now being
rebuked even by the Republican ad
ministration. It was inevitable that all of this
should come to pass sooner or iater,
but nobody believed that it would
come about so soon after the national
campaign in which the senatorial ir
reconcilables took their grievcnces
before the people and proudly pro
claimed, as a result of the election,
that they had been sustained.
President Wilson took the position
that it was the duty of this country
to be represented in the after-the-war
conferences, recognizing the fact
that this country's welfare is mdis
solubly interwoven with and ines
capably dependent upon post-war in
ternational developments.

LOVE-MAKING IS LEGITIMATE
SUMMER SPORT
Love-making in Kansas City parks
has been officially recognized as a le
gitimate summer sport in an an
nouncement by Chief of Police Ed
wards. The policy of the police de
partment will be let love alone, the
chief said. "Police officers," he said,
"have something more to do than to
clear park benches of boys and girls
making love."
