(International Ne*'*reet) i RECALLS BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS Corn Cracker's Grand Fatncr Help ed Forged Britain Concede .Seaman's Rights. To Editor of The Star. In my belated tender of New Year greetings, I nm reminded that this the anniversary of the signal victory for patriotism known as the Battle of New Orleans. As my grand father, J. C. White, was one of the Kentucky riflemen who help ed in the martial achievement of forcing arrogant Oreat Britain to concede us seaman's right; and help ed subjugate the Indian savages thfit England incited to wage a war of atrocity and extermination against us: I venerate his memory and patriotism; and ain proud that my grand father on maternal side, Isaiah Bradshaw, was with the in trepid Deal. W. H. Harrison; help ing conquer the Indians under the lead of the gallant Tecumseh; and was in the battle where that cele brated chieftain was slain. He was so much better and braver than the arrogant but cowardly General j Proctor of the British army that j I am proud to pay tribute to his1 courage and humanity. While burn ing captives at the stake and other tortures were Indian customs. Chief i Tecum sell never participated In such barbarous orgies, and used his vote and powers ol eloquence against such atrocities. In the light of impartial history and by the standard of the Ooldcn Rule, Tecumseh was just as much a patriot as William Tell, Arnold Wtnkelried, Louts Kossuth, George Washington or Robert E. Lee; and whoever denies their love of coun try and liberty is Jaundiced In his Judgment by Tory prejudice. Pa triots, like other frail mortals can have glaring faults; but this does not detract from their love.of country, home, and native land. So far as I am concerned, I vener ate valor and a broad, tolerant spirit wherever I find them; and cherish a withering contempt for a coward, a trimmer and a time server# About 99 men out of every hundred are unequal to using their own minds, or else don't have any such endowment. The only gang with whom-1 ant in bad odor, Is the contingent who are economical of soap, spelling books and veracity. Some imaginary great man has act ed as trail-blazer in politics; and no matter how dend the issue nor irrCvelant the platform; they swal lbwr hook, line and.sinker, and de vote every consistent, logical mind to the infernal and cloven-footed gods. Just such a spirit, retards prog ress. arrests development, and has called into requisition the rack, the thumb screw, the lugot and the stake. Some of the noblest char acters ,n history have been hound ed, persecuted and ostracised. It does not require the wtsdem of Solomon for a man to see that he is discriminated against ill politics and in society. One reason that 1 have been a voice crying In the wilderness for Australian ballot for two decades, is that some men can not stand the gaff to vote against the forces of corruption with the pressure brought to bear by the ar rogant and brutal ward heeler and the swashbuckler. I have been the victim of ostracism for quite a while; and am impervious to cow ardly Inuendo and the scowl of the vaporing wind-jammer. I never voted any Republican tickets on November 6, 1928; but had I done so, I would have been in company with as good Democrats as- voted at behest of Tammany. So far -c, office-holding aspira tions are concerned on niy part, the llghtnuig has not struck and there is no rod up 11 attract its current. At present the outlook is good for adoption of Australian bal lot, and we want no makeshift to help the; miniature Tammany Hall of Cleveland county put over their man. That gang lost two pets last year, n^id will lose more if they don’t quit brow-oeating, coercive and proscriptive tactics. T am really anxious for the forces of militant democracy to unite and co operate but can fight just as hard and just as stubbornly is anybody 'living or deed ever fought. MELVIN I*. WHITE.

Tireless Legislator At Shelby Banquet (R. R. Clark in Greensboro News.) Reference to the observation of the Laurinburg Exchange, that some of the legislators at Max Gard ner’s party in Shelby appeared with necks unadorned with ties, this commentator happens to know one I that was tieless and is likely to remain that way. He was a mem ber of the last assembly. He didn’t adopt the tie for that occasion and it is Improbable that he will see any necessity for changing his style. Come to think of it, it is Impossible to name any good reason why this member should wear a tie simply because the great, majority of men wear ties. A modest man, there Is nothing in his dress or manner, un less the absent tie is considered, that he is trying to ber different Just to be different. He just doesn’t care for the tie, and that’s his busi ness. The necktie isn't an es sential part of the male adornment. It is a habit, a custom; and there is a feeling of admiration here for one who follows his own taste in the matter of dress and refuses to be a slave to habit simply because others are that way. And this tieleas man isn't a boob Trom the backwoods, cither. He is an important citizen in his home town. Not a few people who have the latest in ties have to talk mighty nice to him to get a loan by at the bank; and the sort of security they can produce has more to do with their success than the shade of four-in-hand- dis played. This tieless legislator wears a collar but it is his own. If it was necessary for him to leave that off to show his inde pendence he would do it. Further more, this tie’.ess legislator isn't the sort that folks make free with. He is agreeable to his acquain tances but it Is doubted if any of them ever make so free with him as to ask why he doesn’t wear a tie. He would answer politely, if the question was put in a proper manner. But seeing that it is a personal matter, with which friends have nothing to do, they don't offer advice. MICHIGAN WOMAN MAY GET PARDON Lansing, Mich., Jan. 3.—Gover nor Fred W.
