Lincoln Times.
They say its awful to think of
'electing Roosevelt for third term.
Well, the fundamental law of North
Carolina prevents the election of a
man Governor more than one term.
Yet Vance was twice Governor. Our
forefathers simply meant to pre-
vent long continuous office-holding.
There's no reason why a man who
has held two terms after a season of
retirement should be ineligible.

LACK OF SPYGLASSES
ONE FACTOR IN LOSS
Declared to be Contributing Cause of
Disaster to Mighty Titanic.

Washington, April 23-Like the
missing horseshoe nail that cost a
monarch his kingdom, the failure to
provide binoculars or spy glasses for
the lookouts on the Titanic was one
of the contributing causes of that
ships loss and with it the loss Of
more than 1900 lives.
Two witnesses before the senate in
vestigating committee today agreed on
this. They were Frederick Fleet, a
lookout on the liner, and Maj. Arthur
Godfrey Peuchen, Canadian manufac-
tuer and yachtman, who was among
the rescued passengers.
Fleet acknowledged that if he had
been aided in his observations by
good glass, he probably could have
spied the berg into which the ship
crashed in time to have warned the
bridge to avoid it. Maj. Peuchen also
testified to the much greater sweep of
vision afforded by binoculars and, as
a yachtsman, said he believed the
presence of the iceberg might have
been detected in time to escape the
collision had the lookout men been so
equipped.
1t was made to appear that the
blame for being without glasses did
not rest with the lookout men. Fleet
said they had asked for them at South
ampton and were told there were none
for them. One glass, in a pinch,
would have served in the crows nest
Maj. Peuchen criticised in strong
terms the lack of. experienced sailors
on board the Titanic. He said that
when the call to quarters was sound
ed, not enough of the crew responded
to undertake the work required in
lowering and filling the boats. Fur
thermore, he said, no drills had been
held from the time the ship left
Southampton, although it was custo-
mary to hold such drills every Sunday.
Herbert J. Pitman, third officer of
the Titanic, told of his failure to turn
back the Iifeboat in which he and his
passengers were idly drifting to at
tempt the rescue of others when the
Titanic went down.

New York, April 22-The first list
of names of bodies recovered from the
Titanic disaster by the cable steamer
Mackay-Bennett, was received here
through wireless today to the White
Star Line Offices. The list of 27 names
contain none of several of the most
prominent men who perished, unless
it be of George W. Widen" as sent by
wireless, refers, as is believed prob
able to George D. Widener, of Phila-
delphia.
The original passenger lists OF the
Titanic do not mention widen" which
apparently establishes the identity of
the body as that of Mr. Widener, son
of P. A. B. Widener, of Philadelphia,
one of the directors of the White Star
Line, who, together with his son, Har-
ry, was lost.
The list as received, is as follows:

lief that number of the bodies re-
covered are members of the Titanic's
