An Ignoble Surrender

A CYNIC has observed that every man has
his price. Some are rated in terms of
money, others in terms of less tangible but
still more valuable media OF barter and
sale. 1t required only thirty pieces of silver
to complete the purchase of Judas Iscariot
Political expediency and partisan advantage
, constitute the sole reward OF Governor Bick-
etts betrayal of North Carolina. Rather
than stand on the principle he Processes, and
go down fighting gloriously, his back to the
wall, he has chosen the course of nonresist-
ance, and cravenly begs his State, last at
Appomattox." to be the last one necessary
to complete ratification of the Anthony
amendment. His argument is that Of the
weakling who abjectly surrenders who
throws away his sword and takes to his heels
when he sees the whites of his enemy's eyes,
or. still more humilating, remains to seek
losers political favors from the victor
1t may be said in extenuation of Cover
nor Beckett that lie yielded in the face of
overwhelming pressure-but North Carolina
never can forget the fact that he surren-
dered. True, he was played upon by all the
powerful influences of the national admins
tration, through the President himself his
Cabinet officers and on down the party line
by the Democratic convention OF his own
state, and by suifragists everywhere Per
maps no more forceful, determined campaign
ever was waged against the Governor of a
state But Governor Beckett stood as the
representative of the great sovereign State
oil North Carolina, and. in this crisis in it's
domestic affairs, he represented the whole
South to which the Anthony amendment is
obnoxious and portentous of untold trouble
ana disorder. He knew all this. Person
ally he is on record as bitterly opposed to
woman suffrage coming by way of amend
ment to the Federal Constitution He has
voiced his opposition repeatedly Even in
MS hnal surrender, with his white flag fy-
lng' he admits that it is a crime against the
state and the South. He makes excuses he
apologies for himself with the mistaken
observation that States rights are gone for
ever. he points to other Federal inyasions
IN proof, and then his backbone crumples
up, and he invites North Carolina to omen
us arms TO the invader for whom he has
thrown open the gates
no wonder North Carolina stands shamed
before its sister States of the South which
mad looked to it for protection, which had
expected him to stand by them as firmly as
that stanch old Republican Governor of
connecticut. Fortunately for North Caro-
INA ana the South, the Governor is not all
