We opine as how President Carey Dowd's ardent plea that plenty of brickbats be tossed by the delegates will be adequately answered by the results of Os car Coffin's Newspaper Insti tute questionnaire on "What- is the place of a reasonably hon est and independent newspaper in the sort of family fight to be settled, perhaps, on June 7 ?" and "Are North Carolina news, papers going to allow' them selves to be used for rekindling the Smith-Hoover fires of bigot ry and ignorance?". PURLOINED PARAGRAPHS Tar Heel Topics The Methods of David Clark In the mind of the average American, especially the less en lightened member of the middle classes, - the terms "socialist" and "radical" denote wild-eyed and long-haired fanatics who have unpleasant habits of hurl ing boinbs to blow the innocent citizenry into gory bits, advo cating free love and anti-Christ, and inciting the workers to abolish all , property and prop erty owners by blood and thun der methods. Although the mis taken conceptions of radicalism and socialism are rapidly being corrected by popular education and an enlightened press, they still exist among a considerable proportion of the American public. A few unscrupulous writers and speakers apply these' terms indiscriminately to all persons who offer opposition tojthe ac complishment of the selfish ends for which they are striving. By associating the odium at tached to the terms "socialist" and "radical" with their op ponents, unprincipled men at tempt to discredit them, to pre vent the public from giving con sideration to their views. Excellent examples of the methods employed by such men are aiioraea oy editorials ap pearing in recent- issues of the Southern Textile Bulletin. Through its managing editor, David Clark, the Bulletin has been carrying on a campaign for dismissal of several prominent professors from the University, N. C. C. W. and State College. These professors have exhibited interest in improving conditions in the textile industry of the South, both for the laborer and for the employer. Among the possible improve ments suggested by these ex pert economists and sociologists have been more efficient distri bution of the manufactured product, close cooperation among manufacturers in reducing over production, and the encourage ment of better feeling between employer and employee. One of the methods advanced for improving employer - employee relationships has been organiza tion of the laborers for col lective bargaining, in order that they may be assured of a fair portion of the profits of their labor, thus encouraging them to cooperate .with the employers in producing more profits. With a .display of narrow mental vision and unintelligence that would have shamed the most bigoted figures in history, the Southern Textile Bulletin has invoked every unfair method in its attempts to discredit these men. Its favorite procedure in initiating its editorial attacks is to quote a rabid socialist or an archist. Thus the ordinary reader is alienated from all sym pathy with the object of aitack from the very beginning, with 6ut having considered the Jeast evidence against him.- . The following commentary upon Bertrand Russell's address at Nf C. C. W. this fall is illus trative of the Bulletin's edito rials : "Bertram Russell was invited to address the young ladies in our State owned and State sup ported North Carolina College for Women at Greensboro, N. C, and he was introduced with words of eulogy, by a man whose salary is paid by the State of North Carolina. "They might have gone into some dive in Greensboro and found a moral degenerate and atheist of as low character as Bertram Russell and presented him to the young ladies of North Carolina, most of whom came from decent homes, but such a man would not have had the ability to sell filthy doctrines to the young ladies and therefore, Bertram Russell was paid to come and was introduced as an THE DAILY authority on advanced ideas. "As a traitor to his country, as an atheist, as an enemy of the Sacredness of the marriage relation, as a teacher and prac ticer of free love, Bertram Russell-is par excellent. - "Forthese reasons and doubt less with the hope that he might win deciples was Bertram Rus sell presented to the students of North Carolina College 'for Women.'? - Intelligent men throughout the world recognize Bertrand Rus sell as an enemy of hypocrisy, a profound thinker who adheres to ideals of intellectual honesty, happiness and culture. But the moralistic Bulletin describes him as a degenerate, a man of low character, a purveyor of "filthy doctrines," and imputes to the professor who introduced him at N. C. C. W. the motive of "win ning deciples" for free love and atheism. We doubt seriously that the Bulletin would have printed a line in criticism of Bertrand Russell if the profes sor in question had not advanced the- idea of labor organization as a possible . solution of the southern textile problem. "Enemy of labor," "crack brained radical," "twister of plastic young minds" these are adjectives employed frequently by the Bulletin in sits attempts to blacken the reputations of the professors ; who have in curred its enmity. The editors deny the -fundamental rights of American labor, unionization and collective bargaining, and they are attempting to coerce institutions of higher learning into suppression of liberal thought. The Bulletin's edi torial "attacks upon college pro fessors in this state are? classic examples of unfairness, of al most fanatical prejudice and un intelligence. If they were rep-, resentative of the viewpoint possessed bythe majority ;of southern mill owners, the pros pects wuld be black indeed for peaceable solution of the South's industrial problems. But we are confident that most of the mill owners are far too intelli gent to concur in the views ; of a David Clark. Woodhouse Vs. Williams We heartily congratulate the Di and Phi upon their decision to sponsor a debate between H. Y. Williams, executive secre tary of the League for Independ ent Political Action, and E. J. Woodhouse, professor of govern ment in the University. In ad dition to being good speakers, both men are deeply interested in party development in the United States. The question of an additional party in the United States is a pertinent one at present. The so-called, split in the ranks of the Democratic party, occasioned by the recent candidacy of Al Smith for the presidency, has brought the third party issue to the forefront. Unfortunately, however, there is a dearth of in formation along this line in the public mind. Advocates of the third party plan claim that there should be an additional political faction to hold the balance of power, while the i opponents of such a political system are sol idly entrenched in the convic tion that present political condi tions do not call for a triangular type of political organization. The Daily Tar Heel hopes that the student body and the towns people, as well, will avail them selves .of the opportunity to hear the debate, on the night of February 5, between these two prominent figures in the realm of political thought Professor E. J. Woodhouse and H. Y. Wil liams. J. C. W.

C. Williams (A thing of moods and chang es is woman ever Virgil : "The Aneid.") " We write this, the Co-ed Issue of our column, in strict corrob oration of the views of a fellow columnist. N . INCIDENT NO. 1 f While talking to a few co-ed friends of ours the other day, we chanced to get into a heated argument (hot air being made to permeate the locality) . One of our fair friends told of having dared a bona fide preacher . to kiss her, alleging that he suc cumbed to the temptation. Re sultant of this narration a spon taneous argument arose in which we failed to hold the balance of power. "Would a preacher kiss a damsel's two lips just because she dared him to?" Such was the question which stimulated the controversy. The co-eds entrenched them selves solidly on one side of the question, saying, "Of course he would. Any man would. A preacher is a man like all the rest therefore, he couldn't help it." ' The above narrative affords abundant food for speculation. In the first place, it is quite re markable to 'note what ther av erage girl thinks of herself. No man coulcf resist a pair of tempt ing lips, indeed! Of course Adam fell, so the story goes, and set us all a precedent along the line of least resistance ; but men folks in general and preachers in particular have cogitated quite a lot on two lips since Adam's day. This is an age of science, and the magic in lips is largely a matter of superstition. Very few men have to accept all the invitations to osculate which they receive, in order to keep this time-honored activity alive. Girls, your idea about this os culatory matter is derivative of a bit of conceit, which is no doubt sponsored by "Mavis" advertisements. -. (Writer's note: Of course, our own dame is irresistible ; but that is quite another matter.) INCIDENT NO. 2 ''We hesitate to tell the follow ing harrowing experience, but we realize that it must be done: Early inthe week we invaded the Bachelor's Club - Cafeteria for our evening meal, which is quite the usual thing. Neither to the right nor to the left did we peer, for we seek to pose as quite a modest young man. Our soup and our two crackers we succeeded in maintaining in erstwhile equilibrium upon our tray, the while we partook of huge slices of 'Possum meat, being aided by an accomplished olfactory nerve. But alas, not long was peace and tranquility to be our lot. We were abreast of the teller's fortress witness ing with heart-rending anguish the partial demolition of our quite beautiful meal ticketwhen a co-ed graced the realm of our then stunted gaze. Our manly knees weakened, our proud chest t"SUp SPJlled.n the best tie that Pope Crowder ever sold. We hugged our tray desperately to our abdomen, for our two crackers must not be lost. "Mr. W.," quoth the fair charmer, the while eying us with what seemed to be pity, "Do you really believe what you write in your column?" At that even our two crackers fell to the floor with a heart-rending clat- tTs We were too weak to reply. INCIDENT NO. 3 We were mildly surprised the other day when a co-ed asked us to run fraternity ratings m our column. The idea m itseii maae us dizzy, but we immediately re solved to satiate the fair dam sel, and after several nights of toil, submit the following with apologies to all poetic style. If further information is desired, we refer our gentle readers to the Poll Tax reports. The co-ed's favorite is Kappa zig, v.. ';; Her prize is Zigma Chi.

INCIDENT NO. 4 (Censored) ?-j - Conclusion . , Everything which - man has invented, from his wife to his tobacco, his moustache to his religion, is an attempt to-satisfy himself. So let us satisfy every body by saying that there is an other side to the picture. Then the lions shall lie down witlthe lambs, say "aw revoir," arid dis pute no more (unless someone doubts what we have said injthis work). Now, we did write quite a bit more, but we lost it and couldn't find it in time for this issue. Readers' Opinions MAN, THE EGREGIOUS EGOIST Editor the Daily Tar Heel : I read in the Open Forum colum of yesterday's paper the article entitled "And Athene Was the Goddess of .Wisdom." Immediately I became demoni acally enthusiastic, thanked God that all men were not cynical, genuflected with reverent awe before the writer of that letter, and prayed, out of pure good ness of heart, forthe soul of the woman-hater. Mr. Mebane, in his' account of the failings of the beskirted sex, evinced the fact that he was not human. At least such Was the impression that I received; for all humans are in love. The writer of yesterday's letter is in love;tthe editor of the Tar Heel is in love; I'm in love; everyone is in love And in the Spring we'll all be more in love than ever. And no one who is in love could have the heart to toss bou quets of so unsavory a flavor into the lap of any woman (even if he did purchase the bouquets with the approval of Schopen hauer and Rousseau) . The writ er of yesterday's letter ("An Ordinary Man") a thorough human being said that women are not so easily convinced of their inanity. There is a truth which is wholly evident! Even with a sledge-hammer, one would be unable to persuade a woman that she was inane. Such 'is the tjindubitable courage of the fair sex. v Mr. Mebane agrees with Rous seau (a subtle move) . that "Women have, in generai, no love of art; they have no proper knowledge of any; and they have no genius." How a man with the-intelligence and en- lightenment of Mr. Mebane can cling to such a belief is quite beyond my comprehension. May I supplement "An Ordinary Man's list with an aggregation of modern women of renown and ability far above that of the average man? Takea glance (even a shy one, if you wish) at Leonie Adams, Anna Hemp stead Branch, Willa Sibert Saturday, January ig lQ Gather, Fannie Stearns n Florence Kiper Frank t.,3 Imogen Guiney, Helen Georgia Douglas Johnson, j$ iimci, xioiijr xoweii, liraceFa low .Norton, Dorothy par Lola Ridge, G. B. Sterne, gJ' vieve Taggard, Jean Starr termeyerEdith Wharton, Marr Zaturensky. Not to Mention countless co-eds in this vpnr stitution (and there is not t semblance of a smile on J lips). Ky I again quote from "An or dinary Man": "Beethoven prob ably did not have an abidic, passion for one woman but women were constantly on mind. So much so, in fact, that he is said to have cried out '0 God, let me find her who is des tined to be mine and who shall strengthen me in virtue'." Well perhaps Beethoven did have a difficult time in finding a suit able woman (he had to pray for one) ; but that doesn't prove any. thing. Probably women didn't like Beethoven. "An Ordinary Man" asks "who thinks of the precepts of Solomon when a woman's half parted lips are waiting to be kissed ?" - Why, I'll wager that if Mr.iMebane approached close enough "the half-parted lips" of a woman that he would imme diately (and without regret) retract every statement he made, and against Schopenhauer and Rousseau oppose himself for ever! Mr. Mebane, take my advice: cast aside that cynical attitude which infects the growing youth, profit by these testi monials of ours, open your mind to the universe of facts, and take a course in Sociology. With all sincerity, PHILIP DeVILBISS. SOMETHING ABOUT E0YS At twenty years or thereabouts One owns no philosophic doubts: The mystery of time and space Is recognized as commonplace; The simple platitude of God Dismissed with supercilious nod; Let those of elemental mind Study the male and female kind, Two halves united, they agree, Alone can form an entity ; Let kings and barbs and min strels praise A woman's petty words and ways? Arousing hopeless aspiration To vie with Lords of all Crea tion ; An age-old riddle such as this Of Jael, Joan, Semiramis, Is solved in less than half an hour, With- aid from Mr. Schopen hauer. Let scientists and saints and sages Garner the wisdom of the Ages: Then only find, with vain re gret, They scarcely know the alpha bet, And bend their hoary heads in awe Before some undiscovered Law. The curse of study is the chance Of learning all our ignorance. Why should we use our brains to think jln view of all the printer's ink Expended in efficient fashion To curb latent mental passion! With patent answers, neatly printed, Before a question need be hinted; When "fifteen minutes once a day" Will make us wise in every way, There's very little left to know When one is twenty years or so.
