no plausible explanation for such
startling Tar Heel affection for the

its spite on the administration.
North Carolina gamed from the head
of the Nntionnl Defense league the
tribute of being the moat loyal slate
in the union daring the war. Through
out the entire course of the-struggle,
the secret service had nothing to do
in North Caiolina. And as she fol
lowed him through the war, so North
Carolina has followed the President
ate the peace.
North Carolina and Wilson have
been squelched with thoroughness
and enthusiasm by the rest of the
country. Being Americana, we must
acquiesce gdodnumo redly In the de
cision of the majority, and prepare
to support President Harding as loy
ally as we supported President Wil

Blindness, of coarse, la a unique
condition—uniquo in the helpless
ness It produces; unique in the pos
sibilities it affords.
In many ways the blinded mao
l has to learn how to Uve all over
again. Hv has to learn to walk, to
stand, to oat, to skave himself, to
perform the thousand things that the
seeing man take* fnr granted He
must do all these things before he
can take up any vocational prepara
tion.
Contrary to wide-spread opinion,
blindness does not bring to a man
compensating abilities that he other
wise lacked. What it does do is to
cause him to develop senses and a
bi titles that would otherwise have
been latent. Jut ns a man who has
lost his right hand learns to write

Out of that fact has come the de
