T THINK the New York Herald
l. Tribune is to be congratulated
on its stamina in affording haven
to Walter Lippmann, even though
he believes that Franklin D. Roose-
velts should be elected.
It is true that the paper seems
to have left a convenient window
open, so that bricks could fall
rather freely around the head of
Mr.. Lippmann. I mean that the
various showers of protesting let
tiers from Republicans who are both
grieved and terribly hurt have been
rather more extensive than is the
practice of. the usual open forum.
Still, there can't be much COM
plant about fair process of give
and take. Maybe Mr.. Lippmann
will come back and pour a. little
more gasoline upon the embers.
have, possibly, a sort of ironic
satisfaction in the present situation.
Walter Lippmann and I once were
on the New York World. Mr.. Lipp-
mann was the editor, and was a
columnist. He was the voice of the
paper and maverick who had
strayed beyond the reservation.

SCIENCE.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Scientists at Wide Variance
In Estimating Age Of the
Universe.
DRoFEssoR ALBERT Elm
L STEMS latest pronouncement
indicates that we still must do some
work before we can claim success in
the task of fitting together the
pieces of the cosmic jig-saw puzzle
that we call the universe.
There still are some pieces whose
notehes do not match. And what
probably is causing most Of the
trouble is the fact that here and
there pieces are still missing.
Modern science approaches the
problem of the universe from many
avenues. Evidence is gathered from
many fields.
When the findings Of one field
support those from another. the
scientist feels that he is achieving
success. When differences arise, he
realizes that he has more work to do.
The nineteenth century scientist
rested TRANQUILITY upon his laurels,
confident that he had reared sat-
isfactory universe upon the cosmo-
gony of Newton.
The twentieth century scientist
finds himself faced with the task of
rebuilding the structures of the uni
verse.
If we may return to the analogy
of the jig-saw puzzle, the twentieth
century scientist is ready to admit
that the nineteenth scientist did
very fine job in putting together one
corner Of the puzzle, but the nine
tenth century scientist overlooked
the rest of the puzzle.
He hadn't found the pieces labeled
"space-time, expanding universe"
"electron," quantum," or "cosmic
ray"

Should Have Acted

NNE can look back over the last
" three years and see quite a
few things that could have been
done to ease the situation, and
that should have been done by an
administration which claims to have
had such a comprehensive under
standing of it.
For instance, bonds could have
been issued to cover the mounting
federal deficit, thus giving the peo-
pie a. chance to invest their money
in government securities and reliev-
ing the banks from the necessity of
carrying such a loau.
Bonds would have prevented
boarding by those who were scared,
and liberated a vast amount of
banking credit for commercial pur-
poSes.'
Beer could have been legalized
and taxed by modifying the Vol
stead act, thus diverting a vast
amount of money from the chan
nels of organized laWleSsness into
the public treasury.

The Dear, Dead DAYS

A T that time, I believe, Mr.. Lipp-
"A. mann felt that sound journal
ism did not permit dissension under
a single roof. We disagreed, and
I got fired.
Long ago I grew out sof any re-
sentiment over the incident, because
I got another job which I liked
better, and even at the time I could
see clearly the point of view of those
who thought that it was impossible
for a single newspaper to present
two aspects of the same problem.
And, to be entirely fair, the OBJ
lection of the. World did not lie
entirely against my point of view
but rather against the violence of
my mood and the particlar words
and phrases which I chose to use
in making my position clear.

The Campaign Of 1923

llG Odlll p0lSIl vi go
MOT long after I made this new
4 ' association rather violent
difference of opinion did occur. In
1928 the Scripps- Howard papers
were supporting Herbert Hoover for
the presidency. This was before
my complete conversion to Social
ism, and I was passionately and, if
you like, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to
the cause of AL Smith.
I wrote a piece in which I said
that I thought the papers choice OF
Hoover was lamentable and ridic-
ulous, and that there was no COM
parison whatsoever between the
two men.
This was printed in full, and l
went down and saw the editor the
next day and thanked him. Then
in kindly fashion I added: st know
you have told me I could say what
I liked, but, even so, am not 60
ing to press that privilege to the
uttermoSt.
I realize that 1t might be lit
tie embarrassing for you to have,
every day, an editorial in favor of
Hoover and a column calling him a
big stuffed shirt, or words to that
effect"
The editor replied: Don't bother
about that. We really meant what
we said. You go on saying what
you believe"
I did, and no walls crumbled or
planets fell from the sky. A few
years later the World was COM
bined with the Evening Telegram,
and Walter Lippmanr1, after long
vacation, decided to return to news
paper work and went to the Herald
Tribune.

Rise of Walter Lippmann


THERE he did brilliant work in
l. expounding some of the vexed
and complicated problems Of cur
rency, politics and general econom-
les. He soon won a nationwide
audience and began to be syndi-
Gated, and in very many Of the
hundred or so papers which carried
his articles there was little box
proclaiming the fact that the par
ticular journal concerned did not
necessarily agree with the views Of
Mr.. Lippmann.
It was explained that he was an
interesting commentator on current
affairs and deserved an audience,
whether he happened to be right or
wrong.
And when I observed this I al
lowed myself little chuckle. 1 felt
that certain seeds which 1 accident
ally had sown had lit in some dis
tant regions.
1t marked recognition of the
healthy attitude that a newspaper
may give room within its own con-
fines TO violently dissenting edi-
torial or semi-editorial opinion.
OF course, this is not the only
way OF running newspaper. I can
easily name brilliant examples of
the ''one voice" theory. But if the
other system affords us Walter

expected action inside ofGSReeL
At a meeting Of the advisory bank
ing commission, Commissioner Hood
was authorized to proceed with nego-
tiating the closed bank loans and i'm
medately submitted a test application.
The application was accompanied by a
ruling from Attorney General Dennis
G. Brummitt to the effect that the
commissioner had legal authority to
pledge assets of the banks on the same
basis as an ordinary receiver.
When nothing was heard from the
application, and South Carolina passed
a special act authorizing the pledging
of closed bank assets, the department
became apprehensive that a special SEES
sion of the North Carolina assembly
might be necessary to obtain relief for
depositors from the federal agency on
account of the silence of the statutes
on the point covered by the attorney
| generals ruling.
Receipt of the application forms
were taken as indication at the bank
ing department that the way was clear.
and work was started on applications
| for all banks with assets which it be-
lieved the R. F. c., will accept as col
lateral. Commissioner Hood hope
money will be loaned at six per cent
interest and will be disbursed through
the liquidation division of the banking
department.

Help For Closed Banks Believed Near
Il IAL

Salisbury will soon lose another leader.
Acceptance by E. ]. Cotrane, superintendent for the
past three years of the city schools, of a position with the
National Education Association of Washington, forcibly
brings to our attention one outstanding thought: the high
standards our educational institutions have njoyed the past
few years must be maintained.
Under the leadership Of A. T.. Allen, 7. Wingate An
drews, Guy Phillips and E. Coltrane, the schools Of our
city during the past decade have been second to none in
the state. These men have been recognized in North Caro-
lima as leaders in the educational world. Honors bestowed
upon them from time to time by state institutions and Or
CARNATIONS bear out the statement. Competent, sincere, and
qualified in every respect, these men have outlined and ex-
ecuted commemorate educational programs. And during this
period of time, they have assembled and organized a corp of
assistants and teachers of which any city might be Justly
proud.
Through the foresight and vision of the city council, the
board of education and the tax payers of Salisbury, we have
erected and maintained school buildings, equipment and ia
ciities sufficient to carry on and conduct an educational
system that affords to every child the opportunity to de-
velop hnsef into a man; a school system that any one can
ponkfoaM 81, generated By hHS n type Of lead.
u and teaeh3s
In selecting a successor to Superintendent Coltrane we
have no desire to dictate or suggest who should fill the va
cancy; we are interested in no particular individual. Our
interest is focused around one thought: that is, that his sue
cessor be a man of the type and ability of Allen, Andrews,
Phillips and Coltrane. And it is our opinion the board will
not have to go beyond the city faculty to find such a man.

HIS DISEASE
When a fellows nerves are Jumpy
And his heart is kind O thumpy
And he's acting peeved and grump,
Like a bear;
When his brows are corrugated
And he acts exasperated
And his thoughts are complicated
Don't despair.
When a fellows speech is snappy
And his manners quite unhappy
And his dispositions scrapPy
As a Jap; p
When he slams the doors and mum
bles,
Has the fidgets, grow1s and grumbl'
grumbles -.
Deep and low like thunder rumble
Hold your trap.
Such a chap may rouse suspicion
Of his safe and sane condition
Due, perhaps, to m%al-nutrition
In the bloke,
But allay your apprehension,
There's no danger worthy mention,
What he needs to ease his tension
Is a smoke.
