More practical political argu ments in his favor are the facts that he resides in the populous fifth Congressional District and that his appointment would solve a pressing political prob lem of the Governor.

D. W. Connor. Mr. Connor is eminently quali- 'fiArl -fm tlnA nnsitinn. As RAf.rA- tary of the State Historical Com mission he gained an intimate knowledge of North Carolina and of its people. As professor of history and government at the University he is 1 familiar with the art of government, and sess the most accurate know ledge of North Carolina history of any living person. But it is not alone for these qualifications that we . suggest Professor Connor. F riday nignx Prof. B. B.

And senti ment, as intangible as anything can be, obliges us to demand im mediate burial for the dead. The formality is of no conse quence to the dead man. But a sentiment of respect that we won't attempt to define is in order. It's not a healthy respect for the water shed, wherever that may be. It's respect to the dead man. And it isn't senti mentality. Some member of some searching party must have scoured his allotted square feet of ground in a slip shod fashion.

I have been tried, condemned and sentenced to suffer the punish ment of J. B. Fisher's flaying invective in Friday morning's paper. My reply to this attack is that I have been unjustly ac cused. ' Mr. . Fisher evidently does not approve of the casual manner in which I dispose of "weighty and important matters." But he mistakes my emphatic state ments about Bishop Manning, Judge Lindsey and companionate marriage as evidence of some ar rogant presumption on my part. I pretend to no wisdom of my own on this subject; I merely reflect the knowledge of the University's sociology depart ment, members of which have opinions on companionate mar riage which are equal in author ity to those of Lindsey. What I meant to say in my recent editorial, whether I suc ceeded or not, was this: Judge Lindsey is guilty of misrepre senting companionate marriage in that he disguises a form of trial marriage, as indicated by his advocacy of easier divorce, under the name "companionate marriage." That phrase " was to practice birth control for a stated period of time. It hs nothing of the aspect of trial marriage which Judge Lindsay gives it. ' I would not presume to dis cuss Lindsey 's views on mar riage and divorce. My criticism of him is for deceiving the pub lic as to the actual nature of com panionate marriage, as it is rep resented to me by members of the faculty. At no point in his writings does the Judge give Dr. Knight credit for the origina tion of the companionate mar riage idea. He not only pla giarizes the term, but goes fur ther into the more serious crime of warping its meaning. : Judge Lindsey's over-emphasis of the more sordid elements of the trial marriage theory may be attributed to what I have for merly called his paranoiae tendencies. Ample evidence of his lack of mental balance may be found in his sensationalism on numerous occasions. Even now the press of the nation is con demning his display of irration ality in making a scene in Bish op Manning's church last Sun day. Since I do not deny Mr. Fish ers' privilege of calling me swell headed and of referring to me in sarcasm as "a commanding genius", I further do not intend to relinquish my right to call Bishop Manning anything I please that is, anything which is not slanderous and for which I can with safety assume all re sponsibility. Although I respect the man's apparent intellectual attainment, I still maintain that his persistent opposition to the views of the majority of the younger, liberal-minded clergy of his church on the divorce question is narrow-minded and needlessly dogmatic. As Louis Graves has written in the most recent issue of his Chapel Hill Weekly : "His views on divorce He is the spirituar descendant of the churchmen of four centuries ago who sought to promote the Kingdom of God by the use of the thumbscrew and the rack." I judge from the almost un civil sarcasm of his letter, that Mr. Fisher allowed my previous statements to "get under his skin." Although I may have ex ceeded the bounds of modesty and propriety somewhat, I as sure him that I am no person whose statements are worthy of such concern as he has given them. My editorial was origin ally intended to inform the cam pus of the true nature of com panionate marriage, as opposed to Lindsey's presentation of it. Whereas I seem to have failed'in my first attempt, I hope I have herein succeeded. "Mr. E. C. D." originated by Dr. M.
