NORTH CAROLINA AGAIN
SITS AT THE HEAD

It is remarkable how this great
State Of ours has the habit Or
"sitting at the head Of the
table,
Just now two great North
Carolina Statesmen are mention.
ed to serve as leaders Of the Dem
ocratic party in the Senate and
the House, which, to use an ex-
preston borrowed from a Wash.
ington correspondent Of the
News and Observer, would mo-
only put "the South in the sad
dle,'' but rather ''North Carolir;
in the saddle.' but as if tha
were not honor enough for on,
The commonwealth., 1922-11-21

The country will applaud the
action Of the onetime Senator,
Newberry Of Michigan, in his de
cision to resign from that august
body in which he would always
have been a misfit. He has prob
ably found out, as have others i,
the past, that money will buy
most any material thing, but that
honor, character and the regard
Of ones fellow men are not p1r-
chasable with dollars.
If George Harvey would only
realize, as has Ex-senator New
berry, that the retention Of his
office is blot against this great
country, the nation would be re-
lieved Of two of the blackest
stains which have ever been re-
corded against the fair name Of
America.
The commonwealth., 1922-11-21
WHY NOT?

Secretary Bartlett Of the Eas-
tern Carolina Chamber of Com
merce thinks the soft drink es
Establishments ought to feature
milk drinks more than they do
and that to this end they ought
to sell five-cent drinks even
though the portion allowed for
the price should be small. This
is an excellent idea and should
have the careful consideration
Of proprietors Of drink stands.
There has been an advance in
the ideals of merchants. Not so
many years ago many people
would not hesitate to sell to Il
man the enemy that would steal
away his brains, Even without le-
gal prohibition one feels that
there would have been an in
creasing sentiment Of disfavor
for those who would make Il
profit out Of other peoples un-
happiness. The same thing is
true Of less harmful drinks.
People more and more shun busi-
ness that is not in itself helpful
beneficial. Selling more
milk will appeal to the drink
sellers who want to help their
fellow man. It is a great idea
that Mr.. Bartlett has advanced.
1t should be adopted. Why not ?

State, the University Of North
Carolina, that great seat Of learn
ing, and part Of our State School
system has been chosen to take
it's place among the twenty-three
create st American Universities
as a member Of the Association OF
American Universities
It is a great additional honor
which comes to the State as well
as a recognition Of the splendid
work which the University is car
rying on. It is an honor which
is sought by many, but for which
few are chosen, there being only
one other Southern University a
member, the University Of Vir-
ginia. The honor is limited 10
those institutions which measure
up to the highest standards Of
scholarship. It's membership now
include such institutions as Har-
ward, Yale, Princeton, Columbia,
Chicago, Cornell, Johns Hopkins,
and University Of Virginia.
So, North Carolina again sits
at the head Of the table.

Congressman Claude Kitchin
has thrown a bombshell into
ranks Of the Republican party by
his declaration that despite an
apparent Republican majority
the Democrats will be able to or
ganize the next House Of Repre-
sentatives. That this must have
proven disconcerting to Republi-
cans who have held sway the past
two years cannot be doubted, and
the next serveral weeks should
see one Of the most bitter con-
tests in history of the House.
Congressman Kitchin is one Of
those kind Of fellows capable Of
doing what he says without mu h
bluster, and the Republicans
from now on will be confused
concerning future activities Of
the party. If the party is able
to organize it will mean one OF
the greatest victories for then.
IN the past two years. With the
House in control they will bt
able to shape the destinies Of state
exactly as desired. This is ex
actly what they have been after
for months and if they can pu
the thing over that's about az
good as anyone would desire

TIME FOR SMALL TOWNS TO FIGHT

small towns in the United States should protest to
tie government against the recommendation of
POSTMASTER General Hays that mail deliveries be
abandoned in some 752 towns having less than
10000 population
Instead of abandoning mail delivery in single
village the system should be extended.
Mail delivery is OF the most important ser
rices-lt not the most important service-that the
government can render to a community This is
SO strongly recognized in the cities and large towns
that the people OF those places are constantly de-
nandlng more letter carriers and speedier facili-
ties at stations for handling their mail In fact, no
body IN the postal department. dreams of reducing
tie system IN the larger places
Why should the people of the small towns be
picked to suffer?
II the government once starts this thing of abandon
ing the little service it now gives small communi
ties there IS no telling where it will end. If 752
towns can be ruthessly deprived of letter delivery
III one big lump, it will be easy enough to pick lar
ser places, one by one, and drop them fromthe
system
All American towns of less than 10000 popula-
11on ought to raise tremendous fuss about this
