The little things count, the trim shrubbery and lawn without, the color scheme and furniture selec tion within. It is in the hope the Smiths will take a tip from the Browns | and do something about their less attractive homes that the lo cal Chamber of Commerce re- centl’' decided upon a campaign. A campaign of this sort should not be necessary. It means so much not only to the owners of rentable homes but to Southern Pines as a whole to take the few needful steps to make houses more attractive. To the house owner it means t’le difference between a good winter’s income or a tax-eating piece of property. To the town it means the differ ence between one more family to of Mr. Stimson and his flock. Grains of Sand One needs but to read through this issue of The Pilot to appreciate the fact that this is June. Its columns are full of weddings. , “Lost in a Big City,” might be the headline on news contained in a pos- | tal card received by The Pilot this week from its vacationing secretary. Miss Frances Folley, now in New York. She writes: “The town's a little too big for me. I can’t get around.” BY WALTER LIPPM.\NN In summing up the "net results” of And that sue- Grass Roots conference, Mr. Theo dore Wallen, a Washington corres pondent. said among other things: It tended to set the stage for the nomination of a strict con structionist of the Constitution, thus virtually eliminating Asso ciate Justice Harlan F. Stone of the Supreme Court while leaving Associate Justice Owen J. Roberts in a preferred position. Mr. Wallen is an accurate corre spondent and his report faithfully reflects the fact that there is a con siderable interest in the idea of go- j ing to the Supreme Court for the Re- I publican candidate in 1936. The idea i is that Mr. Justice Roberts, having decided against New Deal measures, is to run as the savior of the Consti tution. ions of the court were not involved in the partisan conflict. But now it is proposed to make the campaign on the very issues which the court is called upon to decide, and it is noth ing less than an outrage to suggest that a member of that court should be a partisan candidate in such a campaign. court reconvenes in the autumn, the boom has not been completely de flated, Mr. Justice .Jloberts will be compelled to take notice. No one knows better than he, a man of the highest jvidicial integrity and sensi bility, that he cannot sit in judgment on the Democratic Administration and continue to be discussed as a Repub- lican candidate. If the boom is not destroyed first by responsible Repub lican leaders, his choice will be to destroy it himself or to resign from the bench. There ought not to be any real hesitation about the proper course. Now is a very good time to put an end once and for all to the idea that justices of the Supreme Court are available candidates for pDlitical of fice. This 'would make a very good first plank in a program to defend the Constitution and the Supremo Court as its final interpreter. A man who accepts appointment to the Su preme Court should be regarded as having forever renotmced all other worldly ambitions. The nature of the institution demands that candidates for appointment, the justices who are appointed, and the nation, should look upon the court as the summit of a career beyond which there is noth ing in the way of office, honor, or material gain to be won or lost.

D.ANIELS CONDUt'TS R.XLEIGH JUNE 28 AND 29 The North Carolina Young Demo cratic Clubs will meet in annual con vention in Raleigh on June 28th and 29th, The State Executive Committee will be called to convene, together with the Committee on the Conven tion, at the Hotel Sir Walter on Thursday evening, June 27th, at 8:30 p. m. The principal speaker of the occa sion will be Rush D. Holt, the “Baby’' of the Senate, of West Virginia. Sen ator Holt is one of the most out standing Young Democrats, not only in the South, but in the entire coun try. He was elected, defeating an old line politician and outstanding states man, before he had reached the age of 29. He attained the constitutional age of a United States Senator this week. Senator Holt had office space in the Senate Office building assigned to him, as w'ell as desk space in the Senate Hall, but could not be sworn in until he attained his 30th birth day on June 19th. He is said to be a speaker of rare charm, is a thor ough pro-administration Democrat, and will undoubtedly have a singular appeal to the Young Democrats of the state. A number of red-hot controversies will in all probability be slated for deliberation.

Here are nine men who without physical pow er of any kind, can, under certain conditions, override the will of Con gress and the President. Their ver dicts are obeyed absolutely. On what does the power of the court rest? It rests on the conviction of the people that the court interprets the disin terested and considered and perma nent judgment of the people as against tlie momentary, impulsive, ex pedient, and short-sighted opinions of temporary majorities. In the annals of democracy the court stands forth as a unique institution. For the first time in the history of popular gov ernment the people themselves have imposed upon themselves a compre- sMISS LUANA WHEELER WINS B. S. AT Sl»IMONS COLLEGE CLINIC AT CONVENTION! Dr. L.

Young, Dem ocratic leader and Chairman of the Board of the General Elec tric Company. “I see no more reason for abolishing the holding company merely because abuses have crept into its operation than I do for abolishing the automo bile because of the disasters which come from reckless driv ers,” Mr. Young stated in a let ter to Senator Wheeler of Mon tana. “The important thing is to re strain and correct the abuses and not to abolish a useful in strument,” he w’rote. “I am con vinced that the holding com pany is a very useful instru ment through which to group that the voice of reason must in the end prevail over the prompting of appetite and of impulse. All of this depends upon the peo ple’s own belief that the court is above all ordinary worldly tempta tion. EX’erything has been done to give the justices independence, in peak to that time. State and federal health officials are studying the di sease in an effort to check it, but be lief is that it will not reach its peak until August.

The 1930 census reported 279,708 farms; the 1935 preliminary report places the number at 303,393, a gain of 23,685. The figures for Moore county re veal 2,135 farms in 1925, 2,361 in 1935, and a 14.50 percent increa.se be tween 1930 and 1935.

The issues of the day turned believed to be, beyond the daily strug- g gle in political affairs. And yet now the fervent defenders of the Consti tution are seriously considering the nomination as an opponent of the New Deal of a judge who must sit in judgment on the New Deal.
