Some Down Home" Politics

lFE down home" is just one bit of
- politics after another. Some OF it is
serious. and some merely adds to the mer
rment of the nation. In the midst OF what
even our ncighbors, the Tarhccls had ex-
peCted 10 be a brief off-season, those who
are not chuckling over the latest political
sensation are exctcdly discussing what it
all portends Those who take it seriously
and even many of those who are doing the
chuckling, profess to SEQ the lines being
faulty drawn for an old-fashioned knock
down and dragout political fight between
Governor Morrison, who is popularity cred
tied with having ambitions that reach higher
than his present exalted Office and Editor
Josephus Daniels, former Secretary of the
Navy. The goal toward which each is pre-
sumed to be aspiring is the United States
Senate.
II all came about in this wise: The Gov
ernor and the editor were invited to ad-
dress the graduates of the State university
at Chapel Hill. Both accepted and both
delivered carefully prepared speeches, each
without knowledge of what the other was
TO say. And there is where the fun and
the more serious political business started.
Editor Daniels. posing before the students
as the great modern iconoclast vigorously
advised them to go forth and do likewise.
His motto for them was Break Idols" He
would have them smash the old conventions
political and otherwise, whenever they in
terfere with the public interest and the
conclusion the North Caroinians are draw
ing from his remarks is that he would have
them to be militant progrcssives in politics.
even leaving the party to the rear if ii could
not or would not keep the pace. The editor
IL is conceded, would not be avcrsc TO lead
ing the militant host
SO much for the cdit0r's contribution to
the joint discussion. Then came the Gov
ernor. He evidently has looked about him
and seen in North Carolina n compact Demo-
cratic party, an effective fighting machine
high honors at its hands would find it not
than against him. That may or may not
have colorod his advice TO the students
which was 10 the effect that they should
stick TO the party, be party men, fight
through its councils and observe the con-
vcntions, political and otherwise In other
words, let them stick to the groove their
fathers fashioned.
Thus the Tarheel camps are forming, Jo-
scphus at the head of the iconoclasts, and
The Governor leading the group which votes
this way or that way because at is what
their fathers did. How North Carolina will
line up remains to be seen. 1t ia a mill

which tho ability Of league machinery to
function efficiently will BIO severely tested
If 1t fails to do SO at the outset, Withdrawals
from 1t by disappointed member nations
would not be surprising.
Indeed, some OF the member nations in
the Western Hemisphere have already an
ncunccd their intention to withdraw on the
score OF heavy expenses assessed for opera
ton of the league. Exaggerated state
monts in regard to tho running expenses
have been due to failure to allow for the
depreciation of currency. Even after MAX
ing allowance for this depreciation of cur
rency, the cost of operation comes to a large
total, and efforts to keep down the budget
have met with poor success The budget
for organization in 1919 was S1,4S5,OO0;
the second, for 1920. came to 100000;
aud the third for 1921, to S4,25O, 900. This
cost is shared by forty-two states of which
nineteen have paid the 1920 assessment in
full while ten have paid in part and thir-
teen for various reasons have as yet con-
tributed nothing.
On account of these complaints of the
cost OF administration the question OF reduc-
ing the budget came up when the council Of
the league began it's present session in Ge-
neva. but that body decided that an increase
is needed If its work is to be as efficient
it should; therefore it approved an increase
over tho figure for 1921 of $500, 900, max
ing the next budget S4,75O, 900, as against
S4250,O0O the previous year. Even this
cost would not be excessive if the league
functions as efficiently as its creators de-
signed it should; but if it continues to be
the puppct Of the supreme council, mem
Der nations will soon reach the conclusion
that the costs are prohibitive
