Al is a Catholic. He is an ad mitted, moderate wet. But neither of these will keep him from occupying the high office of the land. If he fails to win the Democratic presidential nomina tion in 1928, it will be because of the studied and subtle opposition of the first families and the citi zens of the more or less rural regions of the nation. .

Thursday, May 12, 1927 HICKS DON'T WANT AL The continuous attack on Al fred E. Smith, governor of New York and possible presidential t .candidate on the Democratic ticket, jn the election of 1928, be cause of his religious affiliations 1 and his so-called defiant attitude towards the Eighteenth Amend ment leads one to inquire if ' something more vital than this is not behind the attempt to crush his chances at heading the minority party's slate. Forgetting the while that Al is a Catholic and a wet, we go behind these and discover that he represents two very import ant growing elements in govern mental circles. These have at tained the heighths in other fields of human activity and now the portals of the rulers of tlft nation are being stormed. Gov ernor Smith represents the off springs of the immigrant citi zens of the country of the first and second generation, and he symbolizes, the movement for urban control in governmental affairs so long held by the rural and lesser populated districts. With the big guns of the an tagonistic faction of his party turned on him in every issue of the daily papers, we dig back be hind the propaganda that he will, if elected the chief magis trate of the United States, be the puppet of the Pope or that he will nullify a part of the Con stitution. The higher up the ladder in the governmental cir cles one goes it will be found that the question of giving the su preme reins of the nation to one of, and the representative of, hoi polloi, the products of the melting pot, and at the same If W. E. Wilson, editor-in- I chief of - the Wataugan, N. C, State college literary magazine, can clean up a bad police situa tion (provided there exists such) in the city of Raleigh, the Tar Heel wishes "him Godspeed in his work. Elsewhere in the col umns of this paper will be found the editorial, entitled "Law and Order." Since the appearance of this work of Editor Wilson's in the May issue of the magazine, the Raleigh commissioner of public safety, who controls the police department, has turned the case over to the Wake County grand jury for a thorough investiga tion. That police of the Capital City are guilty of arresting a driver for speeding and dividing the fine among three members of the force, and that one rank' ing officer sold liquor to a prom inent citizen these are , the al legations made in the Wataugan editorial. The investigation by the grand jury is underway. It was brought out in the press yester day that Wilson had been arrest ed for speeding around midnight and released one hour later. No disposition of the case appears on the city court records al though his name is entered on the police blotter under the charge of speeding. Editor Wilson, six State col lege students and one Raleigh citizen appeared before the grand jury Tuesday, It was also learned on the same day that E. Deitrich, former employee of the J. J. Fallon Company, Fayettevffie . street florists, was the unnamed citizen Wilson, im his editorial, connected with the alleged sale of liquor by a "rank ing officer" of the Raleigh police force. Other findings of more recent date have not been di vulged and are kept secret by the investigator. There is a possibility that Ed itor Wilson's charges cannot be sustained. Yet on the face of the situation there appears to be some foundation for them; certainly the speeding incident gives signs of showing irregular disposal of the case. The Tar Heel has but the advice of David Crockett to offer Editor Wilson: "Make sure you are right. Then go ahead." men's ' appetites." Although its news is 'naturally devoured, its devotees should be shooting marbles instead. ' v As for Sigma Upsilon, which publishes the paper, no campus organization is more worthy of contempt. Steeped ,in self-sufficiency and know-nothing cyni cism, it is a disgrace to its bril liant past- CLIPPED USELESS PUERILITY (D. D. C.) (This is not the official Tar Heel opinion, but purely the edi torial of the associate editor, who has previously discussed campus organizations.) The writer would not be thought a petty moralist nor a caterer to-controversies. How ever, he shall always claim for his editorial opinions a certain degree of honesty. He could not do this if mere membership in Sigma Upsilon were to blind and silence him to hypocrisies which Have been condemned in other organizations. The writer thinks that the ap pearance of the Yellow Journal this week will denote an expres sion of puerility nonpareil. This falsifying sheet is rarely humor ous or invigorating. Yellow Journalism is a pernicious, cow-; ardly practice which appeal to i . Law and Order "Law and Order Bah! Yes, law and order forthose who are not in position to help themselves. If the local police may be taken as typical limbs of the law which we have over our whole nation, then it cannot be long till some communist idea might well step in and shatter its sancti monious bonds over the masses of the people. We wre witnesses to an ar rest made for speeding some six months ago or more. The victim was taken to headquarters and fined. The fine was distributed before the eyes of the victim among three officers present in the office. 1 "No record was ever made of the fine. "Not a month ago we were witness to a sale of contraband liquor be tween a very prominent citizen and a ranking officer of the local force. Liquor delivev-id and stowed away for you, if you please. There certainly could be no complaint against the ser vice which these men are rendering as bootleggers alias guardians of the peace. It's not that selling liquor is in itself inherently evil. Opinions might differ as to that particular point But no one would claim . that it is the proper thing for a sworn of ficer to aid, promote, and abet in violating one law while holding others responsible for other points on the statute books. "The irony of fate we cry. Yet to what avail?" N. C. State Wataugan. Editor's note: The editor-in-chief of the Wataugan is W. E. Wilson, of Asheville, a member of the senior class in the engineering school of N. C. State College. NET TEAM BACK FROM GOOD TRIP Won Every Match Played; Two Were Rained Out. The University of North Car olina tennis team, which made its annual Northern tour last week, returned tq. the Hill Sun day night. Out of the six match es that were scheduled for the trip, the team won four, while two were rained out. The ten nis team has not lost a single team match all season, although they were tied here by Duke. The best exhibitions of tennis that were given on the trip came from the racquets of Captain Dune" Elgin and Charlie Wad- dell. ; These two lost but one match in singles apiece during the whole trip, and together were defeated in doubles but once. . Miss Sara Purrington spent the week-end at her home in Scotland Neck. She was accom panied by Miss Leona Lewis. Impeachment of Dave Carroll Taken Up by Di . Continued from page one) ; May 7, 1927, concerning the col lecting of fines and dues in the Senate, and said article was a most a most extravagant breach of decorum for any member of the senate to indulge in, besides violating1 his pledged oath to 'support the Senate in credit', and has thus added, perjury to further conruct which violated the instructions of the President in obedience to the constitution not to reveal any circumstance which shall tend to derogate from the dignity of the Senate. We most earnestly urge the Senate to impose the full penalty of permanent expulsion after a trial in accordance with the con stitution has been given the ac cused." Signed by Senators L. B. Kennett and Taylor Bledsoe. President Glenn announced that the accused will be tried ac cording to the manner provided for in the constitution at the reg ular meeting of the Senate next Tuesday night If the case is finished at that time, the sen tence, if accused is found guilty, will be imposed at the next reg ular mpAt.incr President Glenn stated that the accused will be given a copy of the Articles of Impeachment in order that he may properly work out his de fense. At this point, the nonchalant Senator Carroll rose and asked: "Mr. President, are my activi ties at this trial to be confined to my own defense, or shall I be allowed to assist the Senators Bledsoe and Kennett in the prosecution of this diabolical criminal?" But the President frowned upon this question and declared that the Senator would not be allowed to ridicule the august body. So it appears that the scandalous Senator will be compelled to defend himself. In view of the fact that the re cent action of the Di in regard to the method of collecting dues was rescinded by President Glenn because of the tie vote on the matter, the finance commit tee has taken the matter into their hands entirely" and will present some method of collec tion at the next meeting. A bill introduced by Senator Milne providing that ,no pros pective member may hereafter be initiated into the Di until the initiation fee has been paid was passed. The following resolution was introduced and discussed briefly by Senator . Milne. "Resolved, that the Di Senate go on record a sfavoring the admission of Co-eds to the Golden Fleece, pro vided they may be induced to join.": The resolution was de feated by one vote.
