The work of the Elks was outlined as ranging from staging a Jnykrabbit drive in Colorado to paying for straightening the limbs of crippled children in New York, and Newark, N. J.

MORRISON. i "* - x 1 , Charlotte Observer. la , It is possible that out of the meeting ] ' of thp North Carolina Ptehs Association 1 ’ at Asheville may Come discus- 1 slon Os state issues.'. Indeed, the preai- 1 dent Os the'association, l Mr. Braxton, of 1 The Kinston Free Press, injected re- j 1 ' marks in criticism of Governor McLean’s! ! policy of economy, that must certainly 1 ! call for further remarks, and as the gov- 1 : ernor by scheduled for an address to the 1 editors. It is a fairly good promise that , . he will be inclined to take up the matter on life own account. Mr. Braxton made rather precipitate attack. He first threw a brick at Morrison and then faced.. about with a rock 'for McLean. He utged that the editors use their inflh- ' enee' to' the end that the pendulum of gov.eisnment “shall not be permitted to swing from the side-wall of lavish and reckless expenditure to the opposing ex trema Os parsimony, stagnation and disor. ganization.” There has- been but little money expended the past four years ex , cept ;in the building of school houses, in ’ egtedsion of the IJnlvtt'sity plant apd state! institutions and in construction of 1 gbod roads. The records in all cases hayO had thorough investigation and full publicity, and it hag not fft any case de veloped that there w*s “recklessness” in expenditure. Lavish the expenditures were, to be sure, but for 'this lavislineew W'e have the finest')<y«teni‘'of highways of any State in the South and ax fine as the best in some of the northwn states that* had the Rtart on North Carolina in that direction. The expenditures fbr education' were aW tavishf bat/the-Char acter of the institutions that stand ae results does not indicates the "reckless.” : 1 ME . Bralton was particularly set in Jiis opposition to the fixing of salaries of the mpn and women engaged/in educa tional worfc, ’ftnd there is a large portion | of tie state in agreeuent with him on the 1 impracticability bf that course; but thej alarm with which he views the probably results oft the’ progress of the state by reason of the curtailed appropriations would not appear quite well-founded. The Observer does not believe the gover nor’s economy program means anything like “stagnation.” ' It may' slow up ad vancement in some directions, but the governor 4ias authorized loans with which * to keep the expansion prtrgram going. ’■ The critics in general fall in two par ticulars. Those inclined to criticise Morrison do not take into account the fact; that under his administration the major part, of the good roads program was and that the educational program was equally ndvahqed toward a finish. It was under his administra tion that expenditure of the bulk of “prograssj’ monqy t&s uecedfiitated.

It was not necessary for McLean to spend money, on the scale that-it-was expended by Morrison; it was only nec essary that the things left uncompleted be carried oif to a finish. The prospect facing Governor McLean made it easily possible to institute an administrqtiton of economy without serious menace to the progress of the state, or to the nrt of its charitable and educational institu tions. The carpers who are at Morrison's heels s’.iouting “liberal spend” in unison, are at all- times careful never far taken into' 1 account 'the things secured for the state by reason of his spending. Gov ernor McLean is fortunately forefended from criticism of this character, because of the very good reason that there is left for him no major accomplishments upon which to make liberal expenditures. The fact remains, and the peopli* of the' 'sfdte appreciate it, that if it' had not been for t’he Morrison administration, the state would have had 800 fewer public schools than it now has; it would have .had an old-time, out-grown - State Uni | vet-city, and it would have been years l behind its present magnificent equipment of good roads. Morrison spent money, but he did for the state what might’ not have been done for it in twenty years. The state not only got ope hundred cents for every dollar on highways and schools, but it got benefits infinitely iii excess of ttje money spent. There are some xvho speeed along the good roads ■ Morrison built and “Cuss” him out as- they go; there are the hecklers I who would deny him privilege of a word |in defense against the attacks on his ■ administration, but -of- both classes there are few. Os the people there are many. I and it is the people who .use the good l roads and whose children have the bene ! fits pf the best school machinery in the South, who know. The state did not suffer under Morri son ;it benefited. It is not going to suffer under McLean, and it is going to benefit in ways possible under what he is left to do.
