Anything which brings the vot ers closer to their responsibili ties is a good thing. It may be that a visit to Congress is not always reassuring. The visitor usually emerges utterly confus ed by the pompous oratory, the nonsense, dogmatism, stupidity and general bedlam. Such a vis it is in fact often a profoundly discouraging experience, but it may be a salutary one, and if by w'ay of the radio more of the of the people’s property.” It is too bad that the Presi- lines instead of stopping at this point to launch an attack upon his enemies. True, it was couch ed in such form as to demon strate clearly the indispensibil- ity of most of the measures they attack—but the measures them selves should have been the point—not their attackers. The President asks them, as all the country is beginning to ask them, where they stand. Do they favor abolishment of; banking regulations, home and farm loans, relief, farm legislation, so- people could be drawn closer tojcial security, child labor laws? their government, broadcasting 1 Those questions are vital, direct; of congressional sessions should j it should be impossible to an- certainly be attempted. Such a | swer them evasively; but the practical routine use of the radio, J fact that it will be interesting however, does not mean that we favor the sudden demand made on Congress by the President to change its usual procedure in order to allow him to deliver his i address at a time when the wid est radio facilities were at his disposal. The move was obvious ly' a political one and as such had no place in the dignified proceed ings of the opening of Congress. The affair was, of course, wel comed by the President’s ene mies as another arbitrary act, another flouting of tradition— but even more was it hailed as a sign that the President is wor ried about his reelection and took advantage of this chance to place his case before the nation early in the campaign. The speech itself gives ground for such an interpretation. As an address to Congress, outlining the policies to be considered dur ing the session, it amounted to very little. But as a raclo talk, backed by the President’s splen did delivery, as an attack on his opponents, it was a pretty good speech. That is not, however, to concede even that it was good politics. Both friends and foes of the administration will join in criticism of the speech and of the circumstances of its delivery. A good part of the message is devoted to world affairs, end ing up, as seems the inevitable habit of all our statesmen, Dem ocrat and Republican alike, with the pious comment that the pol to see what sort of answers they will bring forth is beside the point. The President w^as not talking to the Liberty League or to the Republican party, he was talking to Congress. With this descent into political man euvering the speech loses direc tion, loses in fact vitality and closes with a series of vague generalities, with only the brief est mention of unemployment or of other pressing problems and with no mention at all of the is sue of constitutionalism, an is sue which is far more troubling to thoughtful people than any of the others. In allowing political consider ation to influence him to ask for a special night session of Con gress, the President made a great mistake. It could only have been retrieved, and that only partially, by a great speech. That speech was not made and friends of the administration can feel nothing but regret ov er the occurrence.—K. L. B. THE BURDEN ON THE RAILROADS Following up the recent inter view given The Pilot by Leonard Tufts on the unfair deal which railroads are receiving on all sides, Edward E. Loomis, pres ident of the Lehigh Valley' Rail road, last week sharply criticiz ed the trend of legislation bur densome to the industry. “Un less ‘flagged,' this legislation icy of America has been "in'ev- will ultimately mean bankrupt- troduced in the session of Congress | proves practical on pine needles, it closing August 26, 1935. Of these, at' will be popular here. North ^'aroliiia least 800 would have increased the operating expenses of the railroads. Undoubtedly mcst of these pending measures, as well as additional ones, will be considered at the next session of Congress.” Mr. Loomis said that if all the bills affecting steam carriers now pending in Congress should be passed, the industry would be ruined. Bills already enacted into law, if held constitutional, will wreck more roads, he added. “While recent legislation has assur ed regulation of motor transport, burdensome laws which have been enacted or are now being urged, more than offset any benefits which the rail carriers will receive from bus and truck regulation,” he stated. “The railroad industry, if given a fair chance, could assume leadership in the revival of business. If the rail roads are forced into bankruptcy or into the hands of the Government, it is well to bear in miuJ that coinci dentally the individual interest of every citizen will be affected ad versely because of political manage ment, the decreased ^alue of his se curities and the increase of his teixa- tion.” Mr. Loomis said the unfortu nate thing about the railroad’s plight is that under present con ditions the only method for man agement to meet the ever mount ing expense being forced upon it is the furloughing of more employes and a withdrawal of benefits such as group insur ance, and various relief pay ments. The railroads, instead of being on the defensive concerning leg islation trends, should take an aggressive attitude, he asserted. HI-Y CLUB DISCUSSES VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE Last Monday night the regular meeting of the Southern Pines School H-?Y Club was held at the home of the teachers, with vocational guid ance as the subject. Alex Fieldsc talk ed on vocational guidance in gener al, J. D. Sitterson on vocational guidance in school, and Walter Spaeth on vocational guidance out side of school. Mr. Huntsr gave a summary and a list of possible voca tions in modem times. Following this a general discussion was participated in by all. REAL. ESTATE TRANSFERS W. W.
