DfP PRESIDENT USE THE GAG
V r RULE?
President Coolidge often has been
painted as a man of too much indif
ference to adopt usually use<l
by the politician. He just takes
things as they come, his admirers
■would have us believe, and would in
no case use methods not entirely above
criticism.
Testimony brought out at the Tar
iff mission inquiry leads one to
believe this is not true. Former Tar
iff Commissioner David J. Lewis and
Commissioner Edward P. Costigan
tell us something of the method em
ployed by the President iu what is
charged were efforts to sway the
acts of this independent commission
of the government.
Mr. Lewis, who was forced off the
Commission following his insistence
.upon lower sugar duties before the
last Presidential election, completed
bis testimony Wednesday before tlx*
special SSeuate committee investigat
ing the charges made on the Senate
floor by Senator Norris, Republican,
Nebraska.
The story Mr. Lewis and Mr. Cos
tlgtfn told “substantiates in detail,"
the outstanding Norris charges, says
tS|e Washington correspondent of the
&\v York World who thus describes I
fjfese charges:
J(l) That President Coolidge packed
ae Tariff Commission with high-pro-
Sctionists as it has been charged be
p&cked the Federal Trade Commission
With those opposed to investigations
and enforcement of the Anti-Trust
Laws.
U’ (2) That the President demanded
of Mr. Lewis an undated letter of res
ignation, leaving the President with
tfye power of ouster at pleasure, and
then c*f»iwd to reappoint him when. I
Mr. Lewi* would not be party to
such a scheme.
(3) That President Coolidge
sought to delay the sugar report reo
ommenediug reduction of the prevail
ing high sugar duties until after the
1924 election when Western h»et sug
ar interests were vital factors, finan
cially and otherwise, in the Hepubll-,
eftu campaign. William V. Hodges, |
■who lobbied for the beet interests, was|
Treasurer of the Republican National'
Committee, |
(4) That tiw President withheld
the sugar report until after the elec
tion. then refused to follow its recom
meudations. He kept the coiunii;-
siou's report secret until the S<>nate|
committee forced its publication.
; . (5) That « twWei'fu: sugar :<>bby,

,' CONCORD HAS NO RECREATION
PROGRAM.
! Our attention has just beep called
[ I to statistics carried in The Salisbury
Post showing the amount of money
I appropriated in some North Carolina
[i cities for parks and recreation. We
j 1 regretted we did not see the name of
. Concord in the list.
The Post explains that “Salisbury
‘ has had a Parks and Recreation Com
mission for one yjrnr. An appropria
tion of $4,000.00 was made for the
work and it has yielded results,
which have already been reported to
the public."
Other cities are doing the same sort
of thing. The expenditure for this
purpose is shown by the following list
of cities:
City Annually
Asheville City Recreation —512,000
Burlington City Recreation 2,000
Durham City Recreation 7.500
Fayetteville City Recreation 3,600
Hamlet City Recreation 2.500
Gastoiffa City Recreation 5.000
Greensboro City Recreation— 13.500
Goldsboro City Recreation 4.000
Winston-Salem City Rec 5,50(1
Lexington City Recreation 3,000
The programs in Winston-Salem
and Greensboro are in co-operation
with the school system.
Practically the only recreation pro
gram offered in Concord is furnished
by the Y. M. C. A., which is support- j
ed by public subscriptions. The City
of Concord gives uothiug to this im
portant work among the young peo
ple.
For several years members of local
Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs as well
as other interested individuals have
made an effort to secure a city play
ground. but the movement has devel
oped nothing, primarily, the public
understands, because the city has no
appropriation to give to this work.
We should make a park and play
ground the next big community proj
ect iu Concord. We can put it over
if we try.

£ Fish Flappers.
(By International News Service)
Morehead City, N. C., dune 4.—Last
summer's flappers are held responsible
for an unruly generation of fish in
the local harbor this year by More
head City boatmen.
Their craving for paint is some
thing terrible, the boatmen say. but
their way of going about getting it is
the thing that is proving most ob
jectionable.
Since the spring's finny debutantes
have appeared, there : s no leaving a
bucket of paint or a freshly painted
deck unguarded without some uncon
volitional fish flapper utiliaing them
as make-up material, say the old
timers. who attribute-it all to the fish
seeing too much of the 15125 flappers.

Danville. Va., June s.—Probably
tlie final chapter has been written in
tile blood-smeared history of tile fam

intermittent spurts of hatred which
have flared up in years gone by to
turn the eyes of a nation on Carroll

Reports drifting in from the moun

that the feud is all over.
They tell, these stories, also of the
j advent of a stranger into the hills

!told no one his name —and no one
asked—made his way to Ward's Gap.
There, among the lonesome pines that

Traveling alone on the Los An

young man, boards the train in

Hollywood, as prize winner of a
newspaper contest, to get a movie

a chauffeur from the Amalgamated
Studios.
CHAPTER lll—(Continued)
The exaggerated and stereotyped
emotional reactions that are useful
In the registration of screen pan
tomime, bye the bye, become a very
real part in the lives of the great
milling fringe of studio satellites;
the reality of their struggle for
existence becomes governed by the
artificiality of the standardized
dramatic situations they read, eat,
see. breathe. And that was why
this chauffeur suddenly unbent a
little now, In a superior way, to
ward Hal and Betsy, who Immedi
ately proceeded to mistake the
change in his attitude for deference
to Hal’s commanding importance.
Thereafter, Betsy edged closer to

where both actors and actress ns
live?"

smirk at this was genuine, and did

favorite actor. He leered at Hal:
“You’re a fast worker, kid—put
In your time on the train to good
advantage, didn’t you?”
Which did not mean a thing to
either Betsy or Hal, who began to
look out the window now, realizing
with a thrilling start that they
were swimming -filong in the
stream of traffic through the heart
of Los Angeles. Things seemed all
right again. The crusty arrival
had been br9ken through and cour
age was beginning to seep back
Into their minds, although there
was no stopping the fast beating of
their hearts or the nervous mois
ture la the palms of their hands.
It was all so like a fairy tale! Los
Angeles! W’ide streets and attrac
tive shops. Bright crowds and
white sunlight. Trolleys like the
Russian cannon at Balaklava—to
the right, left, in front and behind!
Over all the leisurely spirit of the
enervating semi-tropics that even
Booster Clubs cannot harangue out
of the 11mos and veins of white
meu.
“Keep your eyes on the street

But the chaufTeur overheard, and
retorted slightingly:
“Actors whose mugs era well

air downtown here. Besides, who
ever heard of a actor walkin’ when
he could stand still and be rub
bered at just as well?"
“Do—do you think—we might
see Mary Plckford along here?”
waked Betsy timidly.

“But—but —can’t one ever see

■ days, with her curls. When I seen
, her playing with King Baggot 1
used to say to myself, ‘There’s a
girl who’s prettier on the screen
than off’n It and I advised the boss
to tie her up.”
They were bowling along broad
residential boulevards now.
"There’s where Monte Blue
lives." With each new house the
chauffeur pointed out; and connect
ed with a familiar and famous
name, Hal and Betsy sat a little
closer, breathed a little faster. The
lovely section known as Beverly
Hills, explained the chauffeur, was
the home of mogt of the elite of
filmriom.
Hal and Betsy, what with staring
and gaping and marveling and
dreaming hardly noticed the grad
ual transition -from the flashy
sweep of bizarre and palatial resi
dents to more modest outskirts.
Hut the chauffeur’s crisp explana
tion brought them out of the
trance into which their kaleido
scopic experiences had plunged
them.
“Along here," he declared, slow
ing dowij before a line of neat but
unprctentlbus homes, “are sorao
pretty good boarding hbuses for thb
film people. And iGe kj-hda near
the studio, where you’fh'bb^—ffr the

gaged. tlt o- rooms—thus, bringing
thelr.imarters hunting search to an
end gt its beginning. -Before the
chauffeur drove away he warned
them! -
“Yotfr orders Is to report at the
studio at nine sharp tomorrow
morning,"
■“We’ll' be there!” promised Hal
loftily.
“Have they picked out good parts
tor us to play?” inquired Betsy
earnestly.
“Knockouts!” grinned the chauf
feur. winking at the landlady.
" .“Tell the manager that we will
be on hand," said Hal importanlty,
"and that we had a nice trip and
are all ready for hard work. He’ll
be glad to know.”
"Oh, no doubt about It, 1 ' said th«
chauffeur. “He’s only had about
two hundred others Hhe you drift
ing tu and out the. past six months
since they started this fool pub
licity stunt ofc' Personality and
Popularity contests.” With that
the chauffeur betook himself off lit
a cloud of sarcastic dust. leaving
two puzzled youngsters staring iyl
each other and then Into the genia!
landlady's tired eyes.
"Pafcjio attention to bis likes;
he’s one of those hardboiled studio
fellows who thinks that being
chauffeur to Chester Conklin puts
'em on a social footing with the
Prince of Wales’ secretary."
The woman’s tired eyes burned
with an unwonted alertness as shs
looked at Betsy closely, when they
were walking Blowly Into tha
bouse.
"It's funny, girlie, but you re
mind me of someone—l can't place.
Someone very familiar—yet forth»
life of me, I can’t remember who
’tis. Like some face I used to sea
a lot—back a while. Any of your

“No. I have no relatives. Mother
died when I was a baby; father
several years ago. I’ve been board

stenographer until I won this trip.”
In the short hour remaining be
