Senator Simmons used a magnifying glass to read his attack on the tariff, perhaps the Republicans are of the opinion that the North Carolinian saw such a bugaboo in the tariff bill merely because he looked at it through, and magnified it with his reading glass. 'Tcacox Normal Man," that’s what the alienists say through their headlines of the young New Yorker who con fessed the slaying of his speedy young wife. So, we guess, a lot of us fellows, who considered ourselves ordinary men. are, after all, subnormal in that we haven’t murdered our wives. Two erroneous views seem to prevail in certain sections of the country: One is that Washington does not have its bootleg as do other cities while the other believes Mr. Hoo ver Is really going to do something about it. if there he bootlegging activity about the American seat of govern ment. CLEVELAND SHOWS SOUTH HOW TO PRODUCE COTTON '"THE Charlotte Observer talking: “It seems but yesterday that, the papers were talking of the first, bloom and the first boll, and here is Cleveland rounty, up on the edge of mountain land, with a record of 231 bales ginned as far back as September 16. And Cleve land is bent on taking a larger lead over any other county in the state this year than ever in cotton production. Cleve land is showing the whole South how to grow cotton.” Thanks, Col. Harris, and will you now, please, help tis to persuade the farmers not to take their cotton to the gins while it is either wet or green? The cotton crop of the county was pretty well soaked by the rains last week and if ginned o hile still wet the quality will be poor. AIR MAIL PILOTS OVERLOOKED LIKE GRID GUARDS “THE recently-completed National Air Races at Cleveland were stirring, thrilling spectacle, and'the daring pilots who performed in them deserve lots of credit; yet, to pur mind, the real aristocrats of aviation are men who did not figure in those races at all—the air-mail pilots. The Lindbergh. Doolittles and others got the applause at the races; but while they were performing for the crowds, the airmail planes were going through their regular routine, unhonored and unsung. And it is the airmail flyer, and not the famous stunt expert, who is proving that aviation has genuine piacp in ;he national scheme of things. The airmail flyer doesn’t go to races and get medals. He just stays on the job and does his work—and does infinitely more for aviation than nil the stunters that ever flew. DENOUNCING BAD THINGS ONLY ADVERTISE THEM J7ROM the Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, one of the most prominent Protestant ministers in America, comes u re mark that seems to us to express a good deal of wisdom. Says Dr. Cadman. speaking of the theater; “I do not believe in denouncing salacious plays. It only advertises them.” Dr. Cadman has expressed a truth that has been known to theater owners for years. When a producer stages an ',ff-color play, nothing pleases him more than to see it under f;re of preachers. That always means good box-office busi ness. Too often however, ministers have failed to realise this —and, by doing what they felt was only right, have actual ly aided the thing they were trying to crush. Dr. OadnianV lemark is a good thing to bear in mind. JUST WHAT PERSON WILL BELL THIS CAT? rJ'HE editorial writers, particularly those who like to dab ble in political speculation, are writing reams about what Josiah W. Bailey of Raleigh, meant, or did not mean, r»hen he said “Senator Simmons will have opposition in the Democratic primary." Some say that the Raleigh liberal intended the Cnol idgesque statement to infer that he would be a rival candi date himself; others derived the meaning that Bailey would see that Simmons should have opposition. To this paper, which can find very little, if anything, in the Simmons makeup to become enthused about, the nine-1 months harangue about what is to be done to the aged New bern politician in the approaching ballot battles seems to be more a continuation of befuddled talk than anything else. Any number of political leaders, along with several thousnn 1 coters, are very desirous of seeing the leader of the right eous cause, which . plit the Democratic party in North Caro lina, get his; but the method of giving it to Rim and the angling out of a leader for the attack arc things loft for George to do. It is a sort of asinine bell-fhe-cat prppositi<<-i You remember, of course, the old story of the mice assembled, with l hr idea of doing something about the cat which had been waylaying many of their number? One sagacious fel \m- suggested that a bell be placed upon the destructive cat so that the mice might be warned of the cats approach. Seemingly it was a good suggestion until an unsophisticated mouse squeaked up from a far corner with the query “Who is going to put the bell on?” BEING WITTY EVEN IN THE GRAVE T rI’ IN Rhode Island there is a physician vs ho has his tomb ^ stone already erected over his future grave, and upon ■ he stone he has the following inscription: “This is on me." A news dispatch from Pawtucket has it that the physician said “this is on me” so many times while paying checks for friends that he wants it to be his last message. News of the epitaph when broadcast caused Will B. Johnstone, New York World cartoonist, to draw severJd tombstones with similar inscriptions. One of them read “Lay; Byrnes—Having fine time—Wish you were here.” An in aription on a handsome monument reads “Aint this the Buries?” Other suggested epitaphs read: “Ernie Bushmiller — It smelled like gin; it tasted like port: but what d’y.i expect, for a dollar a quart?"; “Gus Jud—Rest in pieces— I was-hit by a car—Time to retire”, and the design of a1 tombstone is an automobile tire. “Arthur Nugent—She said Per husband was in Pittsburgh"; “William Lass—For years I was at Death’s Door but the doctor pulled me through— Heh! Heh!” The final suggestion read: “Here Lies H. T. Webster—If you should come to me and there and then even pint of paying me that ten—I might rise the while, but I'd drop dead again.” Johnstone's cartoon is entitled “A Grave Situation, and it seems as if our modern cartoonists have the ability to make puns about such situations. Many folks who make fun of life also are inclined to have their wise cracks about death. -Perhaps they are serious; we doubt it. However, the array above recalls that a prominent actress a* an opi :;.ph party in New York recently was called upon for her wise crack epitaph. This is the one she gave them—“Ex cuse my dust."

Mike Clarke, rfd Mrs. DePriest says that Mrs Hoover Is a most delight fu! en tertainer. Why. rertainly she is. Anri she further states that Mrs Hoover is a remarkably pleasant lady, charming, cultured, and po lite. We concede all this. and more to be true. The only mis take that we know that Mrs. Hoover ever made was inviting Mrs. Charcoal to her dinner party, but we ran forgive her if she'll not use bad Judgment again while fence-building for her husband.

If bab ies could be substituted for poodles, and monkeys and babboons and chimpanzies and other Jungle pets, there would in all probability be a falling off in divorces of something like 75 per cent.
