OCTOBER 19, 1920 Number 8 BICKETT ADDRESSES VOTERS OF ORANGE ON ELECTION ISSUES WAR - TIME GOVERNOR MAKES POWERFUL ADDRESS IN CHAPEL HILL GATTIS INTRODUCES GOVERNOR Governor Bickett brought a day of Democratic speech making in Orange County to a fitting conclusion when he delivered one of the most clear-minded and masterful addresses ever heard in the High School Auditorium here last Friday night. Honorable S. M. Gat tis, chairman of the Orange County Democratic Board, introduced the Governor, remarking that the good citizens had probably heard their chairman enough for one day and that he would take up no more of their time, but that the speaker of the occa sion had a real and vital message for them. The Governor got into the essential points of his address right from the first. He said that some one might wonder why, in a time when attention was closely centered on the coming election when votes would be a thing of consideration, he had come over here to Chapel Hill to speak to people who would, to a great extent, cast no ballot in November. "But," he said, "I am more concerned in fundamentals than in matters of the passing hour." After which he said: "If any of our friends the enemy are present, they need have no alarm; for I am well known to treat with the erring ones gentle." He then said, in substance, that it would have been a great joy to him to have closed the remaining portion of his- term after peace was "made, without fighting in the fields of poli tics; that he would have been deeply thankful and content to rest in the great history of our time as our war governor;; but that if he had failed to take up the fight as it now stands, he would have been unable to look a single returning soldier in the face. He accepted the gauge of battle, and was happy in the fight to save and make secure that for which heroes had died. What he said of the Revaluation Act is epitomized in his own words: "The Revaluation Act is applied , .

Debbs, from his sentence in the federal prison at Atlanta," the society expressed itself as disapproving of his release by a large majority vote. The question was introduced by N. E. Matthews, who championed the affirmative point of view. He sum marized the case, and, although admit ting that there could be no fault found with the means of his conviction ac cording to arbitrary law, he insisted that there was a higher intrinsic law which could not be disregarded. He declared that there was a humane ele ment in the case that should be con sidered. Another one of his reasons for releasing him was that he would be regarded as a martyr for his cause, and instead of suppressing his doc trines, his imprisonment would tend to cause others to take up his work and carry it on. He showed that it would only incite sentiment in favor of the Socialist party. R. L. Thompson, Jr., upheld the negative side of the question, remind ing the society that Debbs had been convicted to serve a sentence and has not yet served it. In view of this fact he must serve his term if we are to uphold our legislative system. F. M. Arrowwood contended that the seriousness of his crime justified his punishment. He argued that his sentence of imprisonment was none too severe for a person guilty of trea son. Y. V. Denny presented the sentimen ( Continued on page three; NEW TRINITY MACHINE WINS FIRST GAME Playing its first intercollegiate football match in 26 years Trin ity completely outplayed Guil ford Saturday and won 20 to 6.

LOUIS GRAVES NEW ARTICLE ON BOOTLEGGERS UP NORTH PENNSYLVANIA LIQUOR HOUNDS USE MEDICINAL RYE FROM WAREHOUSES Mr. Louis Graves, a former Caro lina student and a native of Chapel Hill, has an article in the World's Work for October entitled "Adventures in Prohibition." It will be remember ed that some months ago Mr. Graves contributed an article to the "New Republic" about the illegal whiskey traffic in North Carolina. This story in the "World's Work" concerns the use, misuse, and sales of whiskey in Pennsylvania. Mr. Graves writes that there was very little difference in Pennsylvania when the Volstead act was firstj?ut jntof pr.ce specially Jn il the anthracite coal helds where it is almost essential that the miners have their beer. After they placed the ban on beer the men began to search for liquor. It was easily found and the result was more drunks and more drinkers. He further writes that whis key for making medicinal preparations "unfit for medicinal purposes." Then the whiskey is sold, passing through different stage of bootleggers until it gets to the consumer. Mr. Graves states also that the authorities were finding a troublesome spots in the government agents who on account of their small salary are liable to make money "on the side" by shutting their eyes. Statistics showing that the law is becoming better and better enforc ed are given. The arrests made in Philadelphia in January, 1919, for in toxication and disorderly conduct were 734, and for July 1920, 496. Mr. Graves concludes with this, "All this whiskey will be consumed, much of it legally by the Volstead act, much of it illegally for beverage purposes. Some day it will be used up. The making of moonshine stuff will no doubt go in a haphazard way, but it will cut a small figure in the broad expanse of dryness. Finally prohi bition will be taken as a matter of course." JOHN UMSTEAD ADDRESSES THE PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY A NUMBER OF THE NEW MEN ARE ELECTED TO MEMBERSHIP Mr. John Umstead, an old Philan thropic Society man and intercollegi ate debater, delivered a short talk during the session of the. society Sat urday night in which he characterized society work as the most important and beneficial work a man could en gage in while in the University. He recited a rather humorous experience of the way Freshmen were treated when they tried to address the so ciety in his day. "There was a steady fullisade of peanuts and acorns di rected at the speaker's head from the time he arose to the time he took his seat again," said Mr. Umstead. Mr. Umstead has charge of the branch of the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company located at Tarboro, N. C. The debate was postponed until next Saturday night on account of the time, taken up in the initiation of new men. The new men initiated were: W. F. Young, N. E. Youngblood, E. (Continued on page three) STAGE IS SET F )R PERFORMANCES OF MAGAZINE FAIR WEEK PAGEANT IS UNDEl THE DIREC TION OF MISS ELIZABETH GRIMBALL WAS WRITTEN BY PROF. KOCH Beginning Tuesday! the masque "Raleigh, the Shepherfl of the Ocean will be presented by athe citizens of Raleigh for three nights in succession. The cast of five hundied persons has been holding almost daily rehearsals for weeks not to mention the tremen dous amount of labor spent on cos tumes, dances and choruses. The di rection of the pageanti is Miss Eliza beth B. Grimball, of ftew York, who has been assisted by jMr. Koch. At the baseball park a ijjtage has been constructed so as to give a soft green background of natural jfoliage against which the action will be projected. There will be few properties, only in despensable ones such ias the Queen's dias and the necessary tables and stools. Professor Daggett is in charge of the lighting. The music, both or chestral and vocal wilj be important musicians of unusual' talent having been recruited. The' pageant also abounds in dances of all kinds, aesthe tic, interpretive, Greek, Morris, May pole, and old English-folk being in cluded in the list. The cast of char acters in the pageant has drawn from the best local talent in the City of Raleigh, and Raleigh's wealth in that respect has proved abundant. The part of Sir Walter Raleigh in his youth is taken by Mr. Walter Simp son and that of Sir Walter in his age by Dr. W. C. Harton. Both of these gentlement acquit themselves admira ably in their roles and make the char acter" of the great explorer live again Queen Elizabeth is played with appre ciation by Mrs .F. D. Castlebury. Miss Grimball the producing man ager who was secured by Mr. Koch is admirably suited to the work. She is one of the best producers of com munity dramas in the country and she (Continued on page four) FRESHMEN HOLD MEETING FOR ELECTION OF CLASS OFFICERS DARK HORSE WINS PRESIDENCY OF CLASS AGAINST CANDIDATES The class of 1924 held its organiza tion meeting in Gerrard Hall on Fri day in the afternoon. The meeting was presided over by C. W. Phillips, of the Senior Class who introduced Prof Frank Graham who gave the class some timely remarks on Carolina Spirit and advised them that the election of officers was a very important thing and a thing which must be taken seriously as the effectiveness of the class on the cam pus in a large way depended upon the kind of officers it had during the Freshman year. He concluded by urg ing them to secure nothing but strong men, "the strongest for president the next strongest for vice-president and the next for secretary and treasurer.. Following Mr. Graham's talk the elec tion of officers took place. Mr. Bax ter Gillain was elected president on the second ballot. Mr. Frank Rice, of Charlotte was elected vice-president and Mr. Nobley of Charlotte was elct-e ed secretary and treasurer. The meeting adjourned with cheers for the new officers.

STATE ELEVEN THURSDAY AT THREE NEITHER TEAM WILL ENTER THE FIELD SURE OF VICTORY CAROLINA HAS EDGE ON STATE Interest throughout the state centers upon the U. N. C.-N. C. State Con test at Raleigh Thursday. This game marks the second contest between the two elevens since 1905, Carolina edg ing but 13 to 12 victory last year. . The record of neither team is en tirely clean. State having lost to Georgetown 27 to 0, and : to Penn. State last Saturday 44 to 0, but she also has two victories to her credit one against Davidson at Raleigh, and I the other a 14 to 7 triumph over the Navy at Annapolis. Carolina defeat ed Wake Forest 6 to 0, and South Carolina 7 to 0, but lost to Yale 21 to 0 after putting up a great fight againt the Northern eleven. Based upon comparative scores the University seems to have a shade of an advantage over her West Raleigh op ponents, but comparative scores mean so little in modern football, that it is a certainty that neither team will go into the fray with any disastrous amount of overconfidence. Coach Fetzer's charges are especial ly anxious to win this game as it will not only wipe out the sting of last years defeat, but will also be the first victory of the Red and White over the University. Carolina is equally anxious to keep her long string of vic tories unbroken. Consequently the game promises to be one of bitter de termination, with both teams extend ing to the limit to annex the coveted victory. Both elevens will probably go into the game with their team intact. Captain Harrell, of Carolina, having recovered from slight injuries sustain ed during the Yale game, and Quarter back Faucette, of State is expected to be such shape as to be able to start the game against Carolina. He sus tained serious injuries in the Navy game, and has never fully recovered. Some disappointment was evidenc ed over Carolina's showing against South Carolina Saturday. But Coach Fuller was taking no chances by run ning his new plays, and Captain Har rell was not in the game. He promise to uncork some entirely new stuff against State Thursday, however. A crowd of over 7,000 is expected to witness the game, and additional seating space has been provided for the occasion. CAROLINA STANDS SHIPPED TO RALEIGH The bleacher seats which were used in the Virginia-Carolina football game here last Thanksgiving have been shippad to Raleigh for us at Riddick field on Thursday of Fair week when the eleven from the University will try to duplicate its victory of last October over A. and E. The trans portation expenses were borne by the A. and E. authorities. A record crowd is expected to see the two. state insti tutions in their annual battle. SOUTH CAROLINA ELEVEN GIVES CAROLINA A HARD FIGHT RECOVERY OF HANBY GAINS GOAL Lowe, Jacob!, Hanby, and Liipfert Play Well for University Meeting for the first time in five years in a gridion encounter the Uni versity of North Carolina defeated the University of South Carolina Satur day upon Emerson Field by the score of 7 to 0. The South Carolinians pre sented a light but scrappy eleven, which played a clean game through out. The only score of the game came as a result of South Carolina blocking one of Lowe's punts, and a. recovery by Hanby who raced 30 yards for a touchdown. Lowe kicked goal. The game was all in favor of the Tar Heels with the exception of the second quarter, when the Game cocks made four first downs and car ried the ball to the 3 yard line, only to be held for downs. Both teams prov ed impregnable whenever their goal was in danger. President W. L. Car roll, of South Carolina, accompanied the team on the trip and witnessed the game here. The eame was listless, due in narf. t.n the weather, which was more suitable for baseball than football. The Tar Heels lacked the punch displayed in the Yale game, and uncorked no new clays, usiner onlv straight line nlavs and relying constantly upon the for ward pass, completing 7 out of 10 at tempts. "The Gamecocks also made use of the aerial game for substantial gains, completing three for a total oi oo yards. Ihe lar Heels carried the ball four times within the fifteen and twice within the five vard line. But .always the Gamecock line held and there was no scoring. Two at tempts at goal from field by Lowe failed. For North Carolina the work of Lowe at quarter, Jacobi, Liipfert, Han by, and Murchison, substitute for (Continued on page three) GLEE CLUB HOLDS TRY OUTS AND ARRANGES FOR SEASON OLD MEN ASSIST DIRECTOR IN LEARNING OF NEW SONGS The Glee Club for the season of 1920-21 has begun its work. The first tryout, at which fifty men were se lected, was held two weeks ago. Thre nights in the week these "future John McCormacks" gather in the music room on the third floor of the old East Building, and let their voices break the quietude of the Campus. Under the leadership of Messrs. Hamilton and Weaver the Glee Club and Orchestra are fast mastering the new music which arrived a few days ago. Of course, work cannot go on as fast as if the Club was small, and the membership will have to be cut down at an aerly date. But, the old members of the Club of last year aid a great deal in leading the old songs and in learning the new ones. The Glee Club this year as it was last year is a permanent organization. When a man becomes a member he re mains one and bears his part of the responsibility until he 13 ruled off on account of unsatisfactory academic work, or some other unforseen reason. Last Friday night at a business meeting of the Club, Chas. L. Nichols was elected manager, and Marcus C. S. Noble, Jr., was elected President. Mr. Nichols stated that a trip would be made to the western part of the state this fall, and that it would be impossible to carry more than twenty five members. Mr. Nichols is rapidly arranging a schedule which will probably include tne towns of Greensboro, Charlotte, Spartanburg, S. C, Asheville and Winston-Salem.
