"BLOssOM TIME"

The musical comedy problem has been solved by the Messrs. Shubert, and the solution is simple enough so obvious that the wonder grows that it was so tardily reached. No more will jazz assail the ears of the large public which yearns for melody for beauty in it's lighter musical fare The Shuberts have revealed a prom ised land, where musical comedy means rhythm, grace and musical in- telligence, and it was accomplished with Blossom Time" three-act musical play which has for it's score Sigmund Romberg's admirable adap- tation of the melodies of Franz Schu- bert. The piece has had tremendous vogue in Paris and Vienna and has been duplicating these successes in New York, where it played for two years.
 An excellent cast will interpret this charming love story of the great composer, including Greek Evans. Margaret Merle. Fenita de Soria Alma Keller, Bee Brady, Isabel Yer non Verna Schaff, Robert Rhodes, Robert Lee Allen, Cliff Whitcomb, Edward Orchard. William Lilling, Jack Hamilton, Oliver T. Mccormick, Gregory Ratoff and many others.

was upon her when suddenly Mr..
Blood got in his way. The doctor
had taken a sword from a dead

The Test of the League.

Despite the statement of the
Italian Minister at Athens, and
various indications from Rome,
one may hope that Italy is not
going to deny the right of the
League of Nations to interest
itself in the Greek-Italian con-
troversy. In England it seems
to be generally recognized that
the League is the proper authori-
ty; Paris is apparently undecid-
ed whether to throw its strength
on the side of the League or of
the Council of Ambassadors,
whose competence to investigate
the circumstances Greece has al
ready recognized. If Italy op-
poses any foreign interference
whatever, it will make little diff
ference in what form it might
take place though the Council
of Ambassadors could perhaps
be regarded as somewhat easier
to bulldoze than the League at
any rate, if the League can
not act now, and act with eff
feet, it has no reason for exist
ence.
The present issue is precisely
the sort that everybody, and es-
pecially President Wilson, had
in mind when the League was
organized. The circumstances
of the outbreak of war in 1914
were vividly remembered, and
the League was formed to pro-
vide the machinery for interna-
tional action to prevent a Power
confident in it's own strength
Roanoke Rapids herald., 1923-09-07

from lawless aggression on a
weaker neighbor. The fantas-
tic imaginings of the opponents
of the League, the gloomy fore
casts of international complica-
tions that would never have hap
pened, all evaded this point
Four years ago nobody dreamed
that the circumstances of the
Austrian ultimatum would be re-
peated in our time. Yet they
have been repeated. with amaz-
ING parallelism; and even with
out America the League must
do what it can.
Where are the opponents of
this vicious super-sovereignty
that was to conscript American
boys to fight the quarrels of
Europe, and is now plainly the
last hope of making law count
for something in Europe against
shameless force? Most of them
are intensely silent. One of the
windiest of local opponents of
the League, however, has aban-
doned this line of argument ;
confident, and no doubt rightly
so, in the inability of his readers
to detect a downright lie, he says
that the League "closes up and
shuts up when confronted with
the need for its services. That
is exactly what the League has
not done. If it is unable to
coerce Italy, should things go so
far as that, it will be largely be-
cause of the absence of the
strongest Power in the world
The New York Times.

amendment. We should be stop
ped from abusing California for
rejecting the Bill of Rights.
AS long as one can purchase
intoXicants without difficulty in
the north; as long as the right
of free speech is denied in the
west as long as negroes are not
permitted to exercise all the
rights of citizenship in the
south, there are at least three
large rents in the document
which nobody is disposed to
mend. The south is willing
enough to sew up the holes that
the north and west have made.
The north and west are equally
ready to grant everything to
negroes. The north shares our
horror at the suppression of free
speech in the west, and the west
is as indignant as we are at the
wetness of the north. But the
trouble is that each section must
first cast the beam out of its
own eye before it can see clearly
to cast the mote out of its neigh
boris eye; and that none of us is
willing to do.
In addition there has arisen
recently a disposition to make
still another hole in the consti-
tuition by demolishing the First
amendment through an indirect
establishment of religion. This
is by no means sectional. 1t has
appeared in a number of states
widely separated geographically.
1t is the proposal to limit by
statute the liberty of teachers in
state-supported educational in
stitutions to teach scientific
truth. The only reason advan-
ced for this astonishing proposal
is the fear that the spread of
scientific truth might result in
the overthrow of certain current
religious beliefs. Therefore the
law is invoked for the protection
of these threatened religious be-
liefs. By suppressing the teach
ing of science it is proposed to
establish these beliefs forever;
which is a procedure explicitly
forbidden in the First Amend
ment to the constitution of the
United States.
The fact is that, in spite of
our vociferous lip-service, the
constitution is held in exceeding
ly slight esteem in this country.
We cheer President Coolidge's
words enthusiastically; but we
don't believe them for a moment.

The Disregarded Constitution

The President calls upon the
Southern Newspaper Publishers
association for support of the
constitution of the United
States, and his advice will be re-
ceived with loud acclaim by many
men and newspapers who have
not the slightest intention of fol
lowing it. The constitution of
the United States has become,
like the tariff, a local issue. In
its entirety it is accepted and
loyalty supported nowhere. The
various sections obey such parts
of it as accord with their section
al ideas and prejudices, but con-
veniently forget all about the
others.
The southern newspapers, to
choose for an example the audi
ence to whom the President ad-
dressed himself, while they may
applaud Mr.. Coolidge's utter
ance, will not therefore support
any more Loyalty that part of
the constitution embodied in
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments to the original docu-
ment. Literal application of
those amendments is impracti-
cal, and every southern news
paper knows it. Why be mealy-
mouthed about it? Why pro-
claim our undying loyalty to the
constitution when we are thor
oughly convinced that in this
particular the constitution is
wrong and it would be criminal
folly to try to enforce it literal
y?
Why not be honest? Why,
because absolute honesty would
require that we accord the same
privilege of critical selection to
others. We should be- stopped
from abusing New York for re-
fusing to accept the Eighteenth

FARM NOTES FOR
HALIFAX COUNTY
By w. o. DAVIS, County Agent,
Weldon, N. c.
Alfalfa is we'll adapted to Hall.

Alfalfa is we'll adapted to Hall
fax County.
Once established it grows for
years, yielding three to five cut
tings per year and about one ton
per acre each cutting. This
means that one acre of good al
falfa will furnish sufficient hay
for two mules. Alfalfa is drought
resistant when once established
and it is also a g BOD soil builder.
1t requires a cash outlay OF
about $500 per acre to plant.
This includes cost of seed, two
tons of ground limestone and
soil innoculation
Keep the following points in
mind.
l. Select a we'll drained fertile
soil as free of weeds as possible.
Land that is in cowpeas now and
turned at once will make an ex-
cellent place for alfalfa.
2. Plow 8 to IL inches deep
several weeks before seeding
time. Deep breaking is very nee.
essary. Disc and harrow the land
each week working in the lime
and fertilizer. A perfect seed
bed is necessary.
8. Apply two to three tons
ground limestone per acre and
400 pounds acid phosphate.
4. Innoculate the seed with
pure culture being careful to fol-
low the directions carefully. Soil
innoculation can be used if more
convient.
2. Use Is to so pounds good
seed per acre. Sow the seed in
September covering them about
one half inch deep.
6 Plant one acre per mule.
This should feed all the live stock
on the farm and then furnish a
small surplus.
