THAT WHICH SATISFIES.—
Wherefore do ye spends money for that
which is not bread?' 'lin'd four labour
for that which satisfieth not? hearken
diligently unto me. and eat ye that Which
is good, and let your soul delight itself
ip fatness. —Isaiah 55:2.
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,

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.

NO DEFICIT DECEMBER 31,
1922, SAYS.GOV. 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.”

Mothers of Famous Men
I The Mother of Flam Grfllparaer.
f In 1872 there died in the city of Vi
enna. in Austria. 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. It is often true that as his moth
jer is. so the soil becomes!
