DEFENDS SECURITY LEAGUE
For Such Organizations Is Opin-
ion of This Writer.

To the Editor: In a recent edi-
torial entitled, I think, 1.-THE Voice Of
the State" you commended Governor
Locke Craig for declining to appoint
twenty delegates to represent North
Carolina in the National Security
League, and added your own views
on the subject. 1 trust you will bear
with me in disagreeing with o both
at some length.
While Governor Craig and the
News and Observer were voicing the
sentiments of the State in praising
further confidence in President VIII
son and his administration, you were
both, it seems to me, begging the
question. Suppose we "can we'll leave
matters Of preparedness in the hands
Of the government at Washington
now. Should we have done so, say
in 1910? Shall we DO so, say in 1918
or 1922? And t. my knowledge you
were not representing the whole State
in failing to recognize the National
Security League and in decrying the
spirit behind such movements. Just
today I heard a board Of directors
Of a representative corporation of this
city take issue sharply with the News
and Observer n hts Excellency,
Governor Craig.
Ask the officers Of the National
Guard and the Naval Militia about the
need for national security leagues,
the need for intelligent investigation
and discussion by the private citizen
Of matters OF national defense, the
need for an enlightened public SEN
timent to stand behind and push for
ward for the true promotion
of the general welfare in things naval
and military. Ask Francis Cox, Esq.
and other North Carolinians who at
tended the training camp at Platts-
burg. Ask Hon. Josephus Daniels
? and his famous advisory board.
Our Secretary of the Navy an,

"White Side" Again,

To the Editor:-I have a genuine
affection for Mr.. Powell, Of Smithfeld,
the brave soldier hat hi is. II he
likes white side," by all means let
him enjoy 1t. There is no accounting
for taste. Possibly there are veterans
at the Soldiers Home who are not
quite as omnivorous as Mr.. Powell is.
And it is quite likely that some Of
them did not fight all the way from
Big Sorrell Mountain to Wilmington.
Some were wounded, some taken pris-
oners before they achieved an imper-
ishable fame like his.
The veteran who has reached his
seventy wears or nearly so, and who
is compelled to dine on white side
three hundred and twelve times a
year, may the good Lord preserve him

The village trustees of Shoshone
are going to pour oil on the troubled
streets instead of water. Oil can be
secured for 51a cents and possibly
cheaper, and it is believed to be
more economical and surely more sat

The Republican editor has ON several

editorial with the words: "Somethin
wrong with our Universities"
"rrhe history OF the man who
tried to murder Mr.. Pierpont
Morgan developed, among others,
two facts: Harvard university
employed as a teacher of German
a man who was paranoiac and
murdered his wife; and Cornell
employed as a teacher of German
a man who was crazy, who had
committed a murder and changed
his name some six or sveen years
before, and who subsequently at
tempted another murder. Our
notion is that colleg are much
too careless about investigating
the antecedents of some OF the
men whom they employ In minor
capacities. This notion OF ours
is based upon the observation OF
more cases than that OF the MUIR
darer Muenter-Holt. In selecting
minor instructors, colleges seem
to look only to the mans eff4cien-
cy and accuracy in his own par
ticular branch. Every instructor
in a college should be chosen with
a view to the influence OF his
character upon young men,"
How often lis it not the case, too
that a college or school professor
comes to the institution or town
armed with credentials and recommer
dations signed by college and state
officials who know nothing of the
character of the man except that he
is a we'll educated man, and the
bstter politician he is, the more
recommendations he is able to pro-
duce. These he takes to- the regents
or trustees of the institution and
the man Is passed ON the merits or
dement's of these recommendations,
which sometimes bear the seal OF
a judge of some judicial district and
in this way lend weight to the other
wise worthless piece of paper.
Another pernicious practice that is
becoming altogether too prevalent,
espec ally In our common schools, is
the re-employing Of q Superintendent
