MONDAY, APRIL 18, 1932 TWINKLES Headline: "Rockefeller Substitute* Walk in g for Golf.” 'I*imes must be hard ilaybe the prosperity that is just around tire corner finds its path blocked with full dinner pails and two-ear 5*rates—or should it be nine-car garages" Alfalfa JBlil Murray says he is in the Democratic presi dential race until the finish. Which merely goes to show that he doesn’t realize that it is already finished so far as he is concerned t he graduates of last year at Shelby High are making >> better record at college this year than ever before. Their scholastic work not only brings credit to them but to the school system, and should servo also as an incentive to the class that will graduate this spring and to other classes yet to route. Lindbergh has made a plea to the newspapers for co operation in maintaining, secrecy and silence necessary for successful negotiations between him and kidnappers of his \ oitng son. That cooperation should be extended, and Lind bergh* «au do much, w« believe, to bring it about by taking the newspapermen in his confidence and impressing them, if I bat be necessary, with the importance of the matter. I'D BK HARD THIS YEAR WILL ROGERS’ advance prediction on the fall election: "The Democrats this year are going to find it harder to elect a Republican than it has generally been.” Will means by that t hat the Democrats usually get mad at each odher and help bring victory to the Republicans, but they’ll have to do a lot of fighting among themselves tn aid the Republican candi date this time. A KNIGHTLY GENTLEMAN PASSES THE DEATH LAST WEEK at Blacksburg of Dr. David S. Flamseur removed one of this section's outstanding and most picturesque characters. Not only a character as por trayed in the role of one of the figures in Tom Dixon’s novel i f the old Ku Ivlux Klan. but a character in real life, a long life in which he participated in many stirring events and episodes. Bom in Cleveland county, Dr. Ramseur first attained sectional attention as a member of the Ku Klux Klan. which did such a noble job of preventing the complete ravishment of the South in the bitter Reconstruction days. A little later w bile in school at Wake Forest he was arrested by the Nov tliern authorities who were tracing down the klansmen. Placed in jail at Yorkville and offered his freedom as a bribe to betray his companions, the college youth first revealed his courage, spirit and loyalty. He answered the appeal for him to play traitor by spitting in the faces of his would-be bribers. His courage and loyalty were too. much for his enemies and he was hustled off to Sing Sing as a political prisoner. The hardships through which lie passed would have broken and crushed many men, but not Dr. Ramseur. lie. returned home broken in everything but spirit and com pleted his education and then his medical course. , He then came back to his home section, along with the other noble men who helped build back the new South from the debris of i he old, and gave the remainder of his life to the upbuilding. Charitable and public minded he gave much to his commun ity in addition to his services as a physician. His death removes another link to one of the most im portant periods in the history of the Carolinas. His activi ties hark back to a time the nation has tried to forget and has almost forgotten, but the South will never forget the men of his lype and their deeds in making a new era pos sible. THEY SHOULD LEAD FIGHT A DISPATCH in the Winston-Salem Journal, by Walter Brown, Washington correspondent, informs that in an interview with him he learned that all 10 North Carolina members of the House of Representatives and both Sena tors. Ylomson and Bailey, are in favor of reducing the Fed eral budget. They favov the cut. Brown writes, to the ex tent of cutting their own salaries. That will be interesting and cheering news to the folks back home. Never before have the people at home followed with closer attention the happenings at Washington. In telling of his interviews with the various Tar Heel Congressmen, Brown quoted Representative Bulwinkle, of this district, as follows: ‘T was in the 67th, 68th, 69th, and 70th Congress and the record will show' that in a great majority of instances I voted against unwarranted and unnecessary expenses. I voted against the increase in Congression al salaries from $7,BOO to $10,000 per year. On March 4, 1080, when I announced my candidacy, for the Demo cratic nomination to Congrees 1 pledged to the people of the ninth district I would not vote for unwarranted ex penditures in the federal government. I am in favor of reducing federal ealarie*. my own included, with the exception of those under $1,0U0." Those views should please the voters of Major Bui-, winkle’s district. It is pleasant to know that our congressmen favor a re duction in governmental expense although it hits their own salary checks. But are they going to have the chance to show their hand in an actual vote? What Major Bulwinkle or some other of the North Carolina delegation should do is to take their feet and demand a cut and a salary slash. They might unite and put forward such an economy program. And if any of them or all of them do so, we assure him or them that they need not worry about being returned to Washing ton as long as they desire to return. The North Carolina congressman who will introduce and fight for a salary slash in the Federal payroll will attain more popularity back home than did “Farmer Bob” Doughton, of the Eighth district, in his fight against a sales tax that would hare placed a new load on the masses. BUCKING BULWINKLE JUDGE WILSON WARLICK. popular Superior court jurist, is nott expected to oppose Congressman Bulwinkle be cause of the latter’s opposition to paying the veterans’ bonus just now. That’s the view' of The Hickory Record, published in Judge Warlick’s home county of Catawba. Similar re j port's are heard from friends of other prospective candidates [mentioned^ Major Bulwinldes's opposition to the bonus payment during present critical conditions naturally aroused some of ! the veterans. But many of them recalled, after calm reflec tion, that he has always stood by his war buddies in all move ments he felt to be for the best interests of the ex-service men and the country. His opposition to the bonus, as his friends point out, is not that of opposing payment of the vet erans, of which he is one. He has in the past' advocated their payment and will again in the future, it is believed, when he thinks the country can afford it. It is his view that just now the country is in straits almost as dangerous as during war days. To make the bonus payment now he believes, as do many financial and governmental authorities, would wreck the United States treasury. He doesn’t believe th^t the vet erans who marched away in 1918 to save their country, once they think it over, will make a move now that might wreck it or seriously hold back a return to normal conditions. Discussing the proposed Warliclc opposition to Major Bulwinkle, the Hickory paper says: While all of us in this area naturally take great pride in the popularity of Judge Warlick and appreciate his sterling worth, we doubt very much if he would consent to oppose Major Bulwinkle for no other reason than that the representative has shown the courage to oppose the bonus payment at a time when he is convinc ed it would impair the financial stability of this nation.” No matter how the view may be on the bonus contro versy, all must admire the Bulwinkle spunk and the demon strated courage of his convictions. To take a stand that he knew he would be disapproved of by some of the boys with whom he fought overseas required the same pluck and cour age he exhibited in France in fighting with and leading his men in action. But he braved the fire then for his country and he braves criticism now because he thinks it for the best interests of his country’s future. At the time he thinks the nation can afford it, those who know him best believe he will be in the front leading the fight to pay the veterans. The fear that Cha*. A. Jonas, drafted by the Republi cans to oppose Bulwinkle once again, will make political thunder of the bonus issue is without real foundation. Mr. Jonas will not likely do any such thing, not in the open, and if he does, he’ll have to do so with one hand not knowing what the other is doing. Mr. Jonas is and has been one of President Hoover’s most ardent disciples in North Carolina. In 1928 he helped bring the enticing story of Hoover pros perity. In 1930 he tried to explain why that prosperity fail ed to show up. He knows that Mr. Hoover opposed any bonus payment two years ago. He knows, too that Mr. Hoo ver will veto the bonus bijl if it passes now. Mr. Hoover himself has said so. Likewise he knows that the leaders of his party, knowing the precipice upon which they have the nation dangling, arc also opposed to the bonus. He, then, cannot afford to ride Major Bulwinkle for something his idol and hero, Hoover, feela the same way about. He could, of course, sneak around and tell some of the disgruntled veter ans that they should have been paid, but should he do it openly his inconsistency will be trumpeted throughout the district.
