PRESIDENTIAL WORRIES A writer .In the New York World points out that the President of the United Slates has the following duties in addition to others: "Satisfy one hundred million, including Bis own judgment, oceassionally : "Defend his own party's policies, at times almost cheerfully: “Attend a multitude of banquets, some times almost hungrily; “Deliver many set speeches, but rarely father away than the Philippines; “Realizing all the time that the coun try will welcome his success and will wel come his successor.” The physical collapse of Woodrow Wilson and the death of Warren (5. Harding, both brought about unques tionably by the many duties imposed up on a President, have made many people give serious thought to the question of relieving the Chief Executive of some of the present problems that wear and tear him. One of the most prominent of these suggestions is that no man be allowed to serve hut one term. This plan is not a new one, and it is criticised in some quarters as not sufficient to remedy the evil, yet it has the support of some of the most prominent, men in public life in this country. One advocate of such a law is Senator Cummins, of lowa, who has long been familiar with conditions in Washington, and who has a very inti mate knowledge of conditions affecting a President. As Senator Cummins puts it, “The President of the United States is required to exert himself almost beyond the bounds of human limitations. His cares and worries break him down. Hu man frailties are too great to stand the strain which the Presidency places on a ' man.. We should limit the President to one term. It might be made a six-year term, but I am not so sure about that even.” If a President enters the White House knowing that he cannot serve another term, we believe a great burden will be lifted from his shoulders, for as The Philadelphia Record puts it, “every well informed person knows that many of the burdens of the Presidential office come from the fact that a President-elect goes into office expecting or hoping for a second term. The officeholders or ben eficiaries of his administrtation are in terested in asserting and maintaining his status of party leader as well as Presi dent of the whole people, and no oppor . tnnity is lost to emphasize the import ance of every official policy or act in its bearing on his prospects for renomination and re-election. It is this political pres sure that bears so hard upon our Chief Executive . whoever he may be, and threatens to overwhelm him in the midst of duties which his exulted place puts up on him and the responsibilities of office •re ever with him.” And if a President-elect could enter the White House with no thought of an other term, he Vouid be free from worries caused by office seekers. Many a Presi dent has been unable to get away from the influence that elected him once he / got in the White House, and the fear that the same influence might not sup port hint for another term has made mtfny a ; Chief ■Executive vtorry and fret, •8 ,w4U! as making;,him almost controlled by sotoe individual or.,gsMfo;of/indj.v.id-i uals who have/ peculiar ;snfluf nee v iff, the certain party to (which 'f , the ’ President elect myjht belong.

HOW .ABOUT THIS? Virginia Paper Disputes Globe Claim as Nation’s Oldest Daily. As a post mortem to the demise of the New York Globe and Commercial Ad vertiser, the Alexandria. Va., Gazette and Virginia Advertiser arise as the first newspaper to dispute the Globe's claim to having been the oldest daily in the United States. The Gazette maintains that it antedates the Globe "by eleven years. Carrying the caption. “Establish ed 1784: oldest daily newspaper in tin United States,” the Gazette comments as follows on the “scrapping” of the New York Cilobe: , The New York Globe was not the old est daiy newspaper in the United States The Alexandria Gazette was established in 1784. eleven years before the Globe appeared on the streets of New York The Gazette has continued to serve the people of Northern Virginia since that time. From time to time various news papers have claimed that they are the oldest daily newspapers in the United States but we have yet to find one ol them, except the Gazette, that can prove their claim. Few people, even in Alexandria, are aware of the fact that the Gazette has one of the most valuable newspaper files of any newspaper office in the country. Most of these volumes are in ahiglL' state of preservation and furnish most interesting reading. Frequently we havi visitors from distant lands who come ti Alexandria to look over some of the is sues printed more than a hundred years ago. “FOLLIES” TO GO ON TOUR Will Leave on -September 7, After (17 Weeks’ Engagement.

King Abdullah Cools Ardor of Hasty Circassian laver. Jerusalem. Aug. ft.—Beyond the .for dan is a Community of Circassians, re ernited by the British for police duty, the male members of which are inclined even today, to follow the old custom of a whirlwind campaign in their lovt affairs, sometimes called marriage by capture. A few days ago one of these men making use of the custom and the op portunity, attacked a house with some of his companions jand captured a wealthy Circassian widow who had come from Damascus to the wtlds of Transjordaniu to look after her late, husband's sheep. The sergeant ran off with her to Kerak. where he proposed that they be married. Unfortunately he had omitted one" tiling, which is curiously regarded Us essential even in “marriage by capture." to secure the lady’s consent. In this case she declined. “Appeal was made to the authorities, and King Abdullah ordered the arrest of the would-be groom and decreed that the custom of mar riage by capture should cease- Ccolidge Heads American Red Cross.

MORRISON Deficit Wag Only In Collection of Taxes, and Not in Revenues Collected. Asheville, Aug. B.—Governor Morri son, replying to the recent public utter ances of Commissioner A. .1. Maxwell, tonight issued the following statement: “I noticed from the streaming head lines in The Greensboro News, The Raleigh News and Observer, and a few other papers of the sixth, that it is a fixed and settled fact that there was a 1 lefieit of a little more than $5,000,000 on December 31, 1022, in the state’s rev enues. The statement of the special committee appointed by the two houses of the general assembly, including one prominent Republican, is totally ignored, tile balance sheet made by the great auditing company, which cost the state about $50,000, is totally ignored, the whole matter is summarily and conclu sively disposed of against the state. Appeal to the People. "As Governor of all people, of North Carolina, 1 want to declare to the peo ple of the state that there, was not a deficit in the revenues of 'the state of North Carolina for the period ending December 31. 11)22, and to urge the pa triotic press, even that part of it so hostile to me and the administration of which 1 am the official head, to ascer tain the facts for themselves and give the people of the state the truth. "If it can be established that North Carolina failed by five millions of dob ’ars in the two years ending December 31, 11)22. to levy revenue to meet the appropriations and expensese of the state for that period, we cannot market any longer, at a pficp anybody.would take, the 'securities of this state.* 1 ’ The fact that we have been able to do so since the assault was made upon the revenues of the state, is due to the fact that the great financial institutions and brokers of New York, who have exam ined into the charge, know it to be false. “And yet, the securities of our state dually go to investors, and these assaults mblished here in our state upon the financial policies of the state have been broadcasted over the country 'to the great hurt of the state in the matter of marketing its securities. This is not a matter which the most bitter op ponent of the administration can afford to be partisan or unfair about. Can Ascertain the Truth. “The truth must be ascertained. It ran be easily done. If the press of the state will cease to pay so much at tention to what the leading figures in the controversy say and go to the audit and get the facts ami give them to the people, as their own statements and not as quotations from the disputants in the controversy, the matter can be settled. I appeal to them to do so, and without a tinge of partisanship, but in love of their state and the truth." "What are the facts?” “The revenue provided for in the state's revenue act of 11)21-11)22 proved :o be ample to meet the appropriations made for the two years and the fixed expenses, against the state. But it is true that, pending the collection of the taxes for each year, the state had to borrow money or let its bill go unpaid. File borrowing reached Its peak at the end of the second tax year, to wit: De cember 31. 11)21. because practically all the appropriations and charges against the state for a period of two years had been paid at that time, and ■ a large part of the taxes for the year 1022 had not been collected... The amount bor rowed is called a “deficit” by Mr. Max well and his followers, and for this he is hailed as a savior and a hero, and his friends are now about to make him a candidate for governor, according to the reports from Raleigh. , What is a Deficit? in what? I would like for the press of the state to make clear to the people. “Why, of course, h ,deficit only in col lection of taxes and not in the reve nupes levied for the period. On the 31st day of December, 11)22. against this borrowed money, in the shape of over drafts on tlie special accounts of the state and in money borrowed on notes of the state, there 1 were /outstanding all the taxes due by the railroads of the state for both 1021 and 1022. because, tjie roads had tied this up in law suits since December 31. 1922. The income tax for' the year 1022 of course had not been collected, because it could not be computed until after December 31, 1922. It is now known that it will exceed all expectations when collections are fully made. The tax on insurance premium receipts for the six months ending De cember 31. 1022, bad not been paid be cause it could not be computed until the full expiration of the year. Various miscellaneous taxes in the nature of bills receivable were due the state, together making ample money to repay that which had been borrowed’ pending their collection. “Now. what is the sense of an orien tal manipulation of figures and facts to assert to the world that this temporary borrowing against taxes constitutes to its full ammount a deficit in the state’s revenues, when as a matter of truth and fact there had been levied, as I have ex- fully enough money to meet ev =BßaßggF"ffil ~,'lf ' III) '!" [THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE ery appropriation and expense of the ’ state Tor the period ending December 31, 1922, and the only difference was , that the taxes were of such character that they could not be fully ascertained and collected until the full expiration of • the year. Deficit in Actual Cush. “There was a deficit of actual cash on hand at the close of the two-year period. Everybody knew this. "But whatever this borrowed amount was, at the end of the fiscal period De cember 31. 1022, there was ample out standing taxes levied for the very pur pose of paying it. ’The gentlemen who make this at tack upon the financial policies of the state are dealing in misleading intellec tual gymnastics. They most unjustly and misleadingly say there was a deficit to the full amount of this borrowing. There was, of course, a deficit in cash on hand, but there was no deficit in rev enues levied for the period, and the leaders in this deviltry know it.” Football Contests. Clarksville.

No such wave had proceeded it and no lijgli wave followed itr But that one was enough to engulf five little crippled children, patients at the Convalescent Home for Hebrew Children at the foot of Beach 110th Street, and two of them were drowned.

Franz Gripplarzer, who was n sort of William Shnkespeare for i Austria, a man wl\p wrote a great num ■ her of striking plays, and who made a success as a dramatist such as few men have ever made. His mother, before the • marriage, was Fraulein Sonnleithner. • From her the great Austrian dramatist ■ inherited not only much of his ability but also his peculiar temperament. Fraulein Sonnleithner came from a - family that hail numbered )>eople of gen • ius, and that had attracted genius. Her father was a distinguished musician, as were her brothers alsq. Their unusual power attracted to them such men ns the composer, Haydn, and the great Mozart. • Haydn and Mozart were frequent guests at her father's house. * There, for their own pleasure, they were accustomed to play. What a delight that must have been! entertaining two of the world’s ■ greatest composers. Fraulein Sounleith uer herself was a musician of great abil jity. She loved music more than almost ! anything else in the world. She was lively, active, quick, interested in all that was said and ilouc. She was extremely sensitive and deeply emotional, now {springing into laughter; now falling into the deepest melancholy. The father was a steady-going lawyer who looked with some astonishment up on all the emotional life that his wife, at tracted to his house. When Franz was bom Frau Grillparzer trained him in mu sic. and quite unintentionally ijn ro mance. From her lie inherited hispjji tVnee emotions! his deep nielanclimy and his versatile power—all of which bellied him to read himself into the emo-, tional life of the characters of his trag edies.
