We feel that any route except one

and we say this with due regard to the
■ community to be served by the route it
?£ is understood here to have been agreed
upon. Concord is one of the largest
I manufacturing points in the State, with
a-score of textile plants, whereas the ter

ft on, will offer service to no manufacturing
ip concerns.

P. extensively after the interurban is built.

H°iS said to have influenced the Ij\ & N.

K THE PRES*DENT GOES WEST/ !
P jjj n C Fd —T
sition from the South Dakota White
House to learn conditions in that section
than he would have- if be had estab
lished his headquarters somewhere in the
east.
We do not argue that the farm relief
hill the President vetoed was the best
thing for the farmers,*but we argue that
in the manner of its opposition by ad
ministration forces it was not given due
consideration. Secretary Mellon espec
ially, was bitter fhd energetic in hfe op
position not only to fftC bill that was ve
toed but to all similar bills.
ThaT, wfc think, is the real reason the
farmers have a right to kick. Not be
cause this particular bill was vetoed but
because the administration has declined
tq give due consideration to the needs of
the' farmers.
i Secretary Mellon is a manufacturer.
H<e is part of America’s “Big Business”
a»d as such he can’t appreciate the needs
of tite land tillers. The entire Coolidge
is about the same. They have
'fieljjti fso busy with the business enterpris
es of the east- that the agricultural enter
prises bf the middle west, west and south
have- Suffered,
Here’s hqping his Stay in the west will
give the President a new perspective.
Here’s hoping his first-hand information
will make him realize that there is some
thing more important than tariff bar
riers for the manufacturer of the east.
Politics no doubt carried the President
to South Dakota but it is to be hope<f-that
since he has gone there his eyes will be
opened to the needs' of the agricultural
interests.
STATE PRINTING.
It is indicated from Raleigh reports
that Governor McLean and other State
officials have about reached the decision
fljat a new system should be followed in
awarding contracts for State printing.
The' matifer has come to, A head because
the Chief.,‘Executive and his advisers
consider bids submitted recently for. the
-State’s work were too high and they
thipk think a newlsystem would prove
beneficial.
Under, the new system printing plants
will be permitted to hid on such portion
of the State work as they- are able to do.
Heretofore only the larger plants in the
State could bid on the work because it
was pooled in such fashion that only the
plants vyith full equipment for biqdery
work and the like could handle it.
The new system seems plausible and
fair. The fact thatjhey cannot do a cer
taih character of work should'not pre
vent small plants from bidding on the
kind of work they can do. Often these
small plants do just as well as the large
plants the- work ffiey can do. At any
rate the system would make it possible
for more concerns which pay taxes in the
State, to get a chance at the work, and
fcertainly they are entitled to a chance.
.If the larger concerns can do it cheaper
:then all right, but we should have a sys
tem that does not automatically elimi
nate the little fellow.
This fellow Charles A. Levine who
flew- to Germany with Clarence Chamber
lin has the country guessing. He is al
ways bobbing up with some rather un
pleasant remark or experience and no
'doubt has robbed Chamberlin of much
honor that was due him. The reception
accorded this pair of fliers was pale and
insignificant compared with Lindbergh’s
reception wherever he went. The public
has an idea that money entered into the
Levine scheme of things and that has
robbed his and Chamberlin’s feat pf much
of its glamor.

Newspaper readers are no doubt nut id Os tbe

in the papers and will no doubt be more and more

when it would have been considered a hit die*
respectful to use a man’s name in tbe newspaper
without the formal Mr.: not so now, for it is be

than Mr. John Jones.
There are times when Hr. ought not to be left

are more and more calling each other by their
first name. It ii| rare to find men who are friendly
and neighborly using Anything but the shorter term
of Jim or Jack or Ned or Bill, and men like it
better, too, and we do not imagine that they are
taking offense when the newspaper gives a list of

was gained from tke press. “Newspaper <»,"
which so often receives tke sneers of the dltojpgii >
or the cynical, was the sole cause of that fist
assemblage:
Recently an oratoete*J prise was awarded to a
young person who attacked the newspapeto for
inaccuracy, bias and general mendacity. Often
statesmen, confronted with the press record Os a
fact unpleasinff to tfefm, hard announced that they
don’t believe if; that the only evidence they Spire

THE MISSIPPI OUTRAGE.
High Point Enterprise.
The Mississippi lynching of two negroes is one of
the occasional atrocities Which justify the Chaste
that the South is peculiarly unrestrained in its
lawlessness. Tbe negroes were charged with mur
der, they wehe in the hands of officers of. the lav
and were in,fair Way to quick trial and probably
conviction. * /
The mob seised the men, after the police led
arrested them, staged its hideous parade of dfiffth
and then burned them at the stakt. It is notable
that the men who overrode the law of Mississippi
were in no-wise instrumental in the operetta# of
the machinery which reunited in the arrest, ore-1
sumably, of the guilty. The mob did not detect, j
it did not arrest, it merely reduced its own efoil.
defenses by its brtttal action.
Life is not safer in Mississippi because of this
beastly incident, but test safe. Where contempt
for the officers of the law is so manifest, the Sense.
of responsibility expected of them cannot be hijfo.
It is too much to expect intrepidity of the poqte
in' enforcing order when the citizens can band Jo- j
gpther to carry out their own unregulated pfous'
of vengeance as fearlessly as this mob acted. Each
gross jncirigin tend* to make the state contempt
ible. ;
Prompt action on the part of the governor told
other officers of Mississippi to secure indlctmagt
and punishment of the members of thy Louisville I
mob would do much to relieve the state’s degrada-;
tion and to give the rest the country new eon- j
fidence in its government. Lynching can be stop
iped by making the punishment of the mob swift
and sure. No prooltrged manifestation of the
stale's will and power to support the law is re
quired to subdue the element that makes up foe
average mob. t
X : POLITICS IN TIHS BLACK HILLS.
iti: ——
t'hqyity and Children.
Fvobably not since your last geography lesson
had yon heard of the Blaric Hills until the
President decided to spend his vasution there.
Perhaps Mr. Coolidge hadn't thought of them in
an equally long time until foe western farmers
began to roar; <but then their adavantages as a
summer camping-place impressed him prodigiously.
The boys can rave about Calvin’s mediocrity all i
they please, but When it comes to turning a i
political triek the Cleverest of them might just as
well pack up their traps and go along home when
he begins to dperate. Once the summer White
House is set up out in the middle west the delega
tions wilt come trooping in. Os course, haring the
President among them will not do the fanners the
slightest good financially; but mentally they will
he tremendously bucked up. All the'local papers
Will chronicle the smallest of the President's ac
tivities every day. Picture* Will be published show
ing hjpi fishing, showing him pitching hay, showing
him inspecting dairy cattle, Showing him looking
over 'Wheat-field. By the time the summer ends
the middle west wiU be thoroughly convinced that
if he does come from Vermont, Cal at heart is one
'of them; and who'ton vote against oiie of the
Home boyn? And, after all, the President would
as soon spend his vacation in the Block Hills as
anywhere else. Playing politics in his recreation,
and where can he play it to more effect than in
the west at present? PMhwWjr he will return to
Washington feeling- that' he has had the finest sort
of a rest. Certainly he win if sentiment begius
to torn toward hint, tor Cal is one of the sort of
politicians who are born and not made.
THE RIGHT ATTITUDE*
Winston-Salem Journal.
Tlie Morgan ton News-Herald, edited by Mis#
Beatrice Cobb, sets # beautiful example of co
opeiwtiou for the w*eWy and daily press of North
Carolina. The MorgUtiton paper is a weekly, but
it insists that there k not and never kart be aiiy
conflict between tile Weekly and the daily news
paper in North Carolina.
The purposes of the daily and weekly ale entire
ly different, the Moifftnton paper points out, and
adds: “Each finds an entirely distinct mission
and answers a different need in the lives of the
community where both enter.
‘ H#K a dozen or more daily newspapers have
quite a following in Morf#nton, but instead of
considering them as rivik in the field Tbe News-
Herald' welcomes them ah friends and helpers.
There k no great danger that any family will
get too much to foad and we ton always be stir#
that ‘the homk paper' has a place ia the home
Where daily papers are also read.”
BREAKS DOWN BARRIERS.
Winston-Salem Sentinel.
President Von Hhiderburg, of Gefoaany. sent
a message to Prtotdiat Coolidge congratulating
America that one df her sous had flown from New'
twril to Germlny finally arriving at the capital.
The German President regarded the ifofkvetrtent
as bringing the United Staten and Germany closer
Coolidge replied to President Von
Hindenhurg and thanked him for the bdMlkt and
enthusiastic reception Chamberlin and LSvine had

extravagantly, “I driah we had your’

That is all a sort of little play
between the outomer and the clerk.;
The. customer is catering to his own ;
vanity and the dark is humoring him'
in it. The man wants to bear the :
clerk say those things, or b< wants,
some companion to. hear them-aaW, or
he wants those in the' Store to hear,
them; or perhaps all three.
Egotism makes folks do all sorts,
of queer things. It hi, egotism that
makes a man maneuver around to get
a seat upon the speaker’s platform and.
an outside position near the head of
the parade. It is egotism that makes
a man peeved if you mispronounce his
name or misspell it. He wants to feel
that everyjmdy known* his name.' One'
sure way for the salesman to get
in bad With some hnyers is to fumble
the buyer’s cognomen. „
That important feeling, that feelir*
that one is some pumpkins and' should
be so recognised, is in itself a de
lightful sensation, but it feeds to mapy
disappointing moments because it is
almost impossible to make the rest
of the world play it up as one wants
it played up. Successful waiters
are onto that game. They know per
fectly how to act that part. If a
feliow will make his tip large enough,
they will give him great feeds of that
sort of pabulum.
Man wants to be a hero and to be
worshipped as one. While he knows
he is not one, he 'must play at being
one. It is immensely gratifying to
the idealistic side of his nature to
liave the butcher, the baker, and the
candestick maker show him particular
deference and laugh tremendously at
his little jokes, and pretend to be
eager to see that he above all per
sons gets the beet service obtainable.
It always disgruntles him if the tele
phone'Operator answers him as though
he were a mere mortal, or repeats bis
number : in an incredulous voice, as
though she cannot understand how in
the world anybody could want such
lar reason for being proud of them
selves, or for expecting anyone to show
them ahy particular deterenec. Nev
ertheless they want it. They like to
come in contact with obsequious serv
ants, with kotowing clerkfe, with in
gratiating salesmen—the salesman is
one never ending soup* of gratifica
tion to the man who ’.wants a little
flubdub rubbed on hia egotistic, per
