In the Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton, that organization is using a staff
of inspectors whose duties in the
corporation correspond to the work
done in the Post once Department by
postal inspectors.
John H. Fahey, chairman, made this
known at a press conference yesterday.
when he declined to comment further
on his announcement earlier in the
week that the Department of Justice
and Post Office Department had been
called upon to investigate alleged
frauds in the Illinois State branch and
other offices. Just where the investi-
cations are going on, aside from Chi
cago, Mr.. Fahey declined to say in
order not to warn those officials or
employees who may be suspected.
Mr.. Fahey also said the corporation
Is continuing to have difficulties with
mortgagors who deliberately stop pay
ment on their obligations to obtain
relief through the Home Owners Loan
Corporation. Such cases, he said, will
not be given aid since they do not
represent distress, but are merely
making efforts to obtain better
financing arrangement for the mort
cages.
Some incidents of this kind. he ex-
planned, have been due to misunder-
standing of the meaning and purpose
of the law creating the corporation,

THE ESSENTIALS OF GREATNESS

We have been thinking about the men whom the
world calls great, and wondering how many OF
them will be so regarded half century from now
In these days of widespread and instant publicity
any man who does something spectacular and gets
his picture in the newspapers is acclaimed by the
unthinking as a great man. He may have done
nothing more than to go up in sky-rocket or sit
on fagpole but foolish world does not discrimi-
nate between notorety and greatness.
We would hardly try to list the men of real
greatness now alive, but we think there is crti-
cal test which, is applied, would eliminate many
who regard themselves as great men. We do not
find many enshrned in history as great who
were not equipped with certain qualities of char
acter that had nothing to do with the positions in
which chance or fate placed them.
1t is somewhat increasingly the fashion among
the young to sneer at the old-fashioned Copy
book maxms of conduct. But there is only one
sure foundation of character that will stand the
test of time and that is adherence to those very
principles. Honor integrity, truthfulness, dill
gence, thrift, sobriety, modesty, may be oldfash-
toned virtues but they still the only rules of
life which can lead to real greatness.
1t is mistake to believe that the men who rise
to the top in great affairs do so by chcanery and
dishonesty. 1t is one of the commoneSt OF errors
to think that man achieves success without work
ing harder and more faithfully at whatever task
he has in hand than do the lazy and envious arounl
him. And we have never seen man whom we be-
heved to be on the path to greatness who spent
his money recklessly, who wasted his energies in
dissipation or who sought self-advertisement.
The very few men of great affairs who have
been disclosed in these recent times as men of no
character the garing exceptions If all leaders
of business and industry were crooks, there could
be surprise at the disclosures of the oenses of
Kreuger or an insult Men like those, when their
true character is disclosed get into the headlines
because they are different from the genral run.
Nothing be more destructive to Individual char
acter than to fall into the belief that it is useless
to strive, since high place be won only by
trckery. We feel that the failure of the senate
investigation to disclose a single act of dishonor
the part of the House of Morgan should go a
long way toward offsetting the shock of the dis
closures of less honorable conduct on the part of
bankers like Mitchell and Harriman.-The Lancas-
ter News.

RALEIGH, July PLANS for
the program here July 4 in oD-
serving the Tooth anniversary OF
the laying of the cornerstone OF
the state capitol are Just being
completed by the centennial conf
mission created by act of the 1913
general assembly. The parade
preceding the program at the
capitol, will start at II O'Clock
and will contain a number OF an
teresting floats depicting the dis
tory of the state. in addition 10 a
number of military companies.
Members of the Grand Lodge Of
the Masonic order will participate
in the parade, as we'll as in the
program, at which a second cor
nerstone will be laid.
The laying of this second cor
nerstone for the state capitol will
take place at II o'clock in the
presence of the Masonic Grand
Lodge, with former Grand Mas
ter Francis D. Winston of Wind
sor, BERTHE county, presiding. One
of the old stones immediately
above the original cornerstone of
the capitol, which was laid July A,
1888, will be removed and the
new cornerstone will be inserted
in this niche, Immediately above
the odl one. After the presenta-
ton address by Judge Winston, a
speech of acceptance will be made
bv Governor J. G.. B. EhringhauS.
An address will also be made by
DR.. Della Dixon Carroll, a men,
Der of the centennial commission.
Nine different towns iii North
Carolina served as the seat of The
state government until Raleigh
was finally designated as the cap
ital city in 1894. All Of these nlne
cities will participate in the pa
rade either with floats or cars
bearing the dates when they were
the seat of the government. These
towns, and the dates when they
served as the colonial or state
capital, are as follows: Edenton,
1725; New Bern, 1889; Bath,
Ina; Wilmington, 1916; Hills
boro. 1878; Halifax, May, 1919;
Smithfeld, October, 1873; Wake
county courthouse, 1881; Fayette-
vile, 1886; Tarboro, 1887. Ra-
leigh was designated as the capt.
tai city in 1894 and has remained
so ever since. The first capitol
building was destroyed by fire or
July 81, 1881. The assembly Of
1882 authorized the building Of
the present capitol, but the cor
nerstone was not laid until July
4. 1888.

votes curious feature of the repeal vote is that
500 1872 blank ballots or more than the total num-
Der of dry ballots, were cast.
In Indiana the total vote was 866,593, but in
1882 the votes of the state for the two leading
candidates totaled 1,539238.
Illinois cast 1,247, 800 for repeal, and 344,88O
against it, But the same state cast 1,432,766 for
Hoover, and 1,S82,3O4 for Roosevelt, with $4,000
for Thomas on the SIDE so to speak. Obviously
Indifference rather than uprising of anti-pro-
hbition sentiment carried repeal in that state.
1t is unnecessary at this moment, and in my
limited space, to continue further the entire list
of states What is obvious is that the electorate as
whole, either wearying of the long-continued
discussion of prohibition, feeling that the time
is at hand for a test of some other method OF
handling the admitted evils of liquor, has been
unwilling to bestr itself to vote on this question,
either pro or con- Minorities will control the out
come, and the well-fnanced and thoroughly mer-
cenary campaign of brewers, distillers and tax
dodgers for the overthrow of the prohibition law
easily controls the minorty-Christian Science

NO APOLOGY is NEEDED FOR OUR
COURSE AT LONDON ....
(By BRUCE CATION

Called dispatches from Europe indicate
that the people overseas are beginning
once more to shake their heads sadly over
Uncle Sans misguided and deluded refusal
to save the world from disaster. .
For long time it was Uncle Sans re-
fusal to cancel the war debts that convicted
him of selfshness, blindness and obstinacy
Then it was his action in raising his tar
iff rates; more recently, it was his decision
to go off the gold standard.
Now, it seems, he is wrecking civiliza-
ton by his stand at the London conference.
He won't stabilize his currency, he won't
agree to a sudden horizontal tariff slash,
he won't do this, that and the other thing
and as result he is once more the target
for the plying scOrn of the Super-ciyllized
altruists across the Atlantic.
The only way in which all of this criti-
cism can do any Mrm is that some Ameri-
cans may begin to take it seriously.
What we must realize is that we need
not apologize in the least for our country s
course at London. Our government is look
Ing Out UrSl anu lOTSIuOSI lOT IHe LHlSIeoIS
of its own citizens, and it is doing it in
what seems to be hard-boiled and effec-
tWe%manner. In that, there is certainly
nothing to be ashamed of.
We are remaining off the gold standard
until we can get back on in our own way
and at our own terms? Surely-and so is
England, whence a good part of this sor-
rowful head-shaking originates.
We are guilty of the crime of debasing
the value of our currency? Well, France
did@precisely the same thing about a dec
ade ago, cutting the value of the franc to
onefourth of it's old worth. Isn't it odd
that the French should be so indignant at
us now?
We are going slowly in the matter OF
reducing our tariffs? Sure-just as Eng
land has abandoned free trade for protec,
ton, and has arranged preferential under,
standings with other nations; just as France
is doing, just as practically every other
nation on the globe is doing.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
PROHIBITION ENDANGERED BY


Three more states have declared for the repeal
of the Eighteenth amendment Two of them, New
Hampshire and Iowa, have long been normally
dry both in political sentiment and in actual prac-
tice. Nevertheless, the majorities by which they
upheld repeal seem on the surface to indicate a
complete reversal of public opinion.
However in these states, as in others which have
thus far declared in support of the return of
liquor, the vote is Indicative less of a revolt
against prohibition than of WEAKNESS and indif-
ference the part of the electorate In 1882, the
presidential vote of Iowa was in excess of a mil
lion. This year the returns so far as available
indicate total vote under 100000. In New Hamp-
shire the presidential election brought out 204 600
votes. The vote on the issue of repeal brought a
scant 100000.
If we take the returns from the fourteen states
which have thus far voted, it will be found that
this same indifference the part of the electorate
has enabled the wet forces to win victories by con-
siderable majorites, it is true, of the vote cast
but majorities only of beggarly minority of the
qualified voters of the state. While final official
returns are not in every instance available, some
of the latest figures are as follows:
New York state: for repeal, 1,946, 5S2; against

HITLER DROPS HIS ALLIES

The Nazi government in Germany went into
power through coalition. 1t was forecast that
Hitler would outlaw his extreme opponents and
proceed to outlaw his allies. AS the Nazi govern
ment took over authority it was in a minority.
Getting rid of it's allies it has complete control
Opposition to the Hitler government at this time
assures swift punishment. For some time opposi-
ton must be discreet and clandestine. How long
this intolerabe situation shall last, no man can
foretell.
In Great Britain the political scheme is so or
dered that the opposition is recognized. Even in
the World the opposition in Great Britain was
permitted to voice its views and to vote for them
The present Macdonald government, of course, is
an extraordinary coalition made necessary by eX-
traordinary conditions. Government and an impor-
tant section of the opposition are working in the
same cabinet for a common end-to improve the
British position at home and abroad.
Hitler wants no political allies of other parties
and brooks opposition. Lacking the voice of an
opposition he will be without this means of meas
uring some of his principal policies 1t is axiom
of the law that it takes the exceptions to prove
the rule; in Nazi Germany to be no exceptions
The rule is to be proved solely by power. At this
distance expert opinion is by means sure what

WASHINGTON. - Roosevelt S
w dispatch of a reorganization
nrogram TO Congress only an hour
ar so before it was expected 10
adjourn was all unnecessary al
front to the Senate and the presl-
dent is getting full credit for a
tactical error.
It's impossible TO affront the
House, but there are certain YES
.tiges of pride left in the Senate
and it, was a little too much to
ask that body to let an important
schedule of rejiggering to go
through without even a chance
to read it. The reorganization
message came along at a time
when considerable soreness had
piled up on various accounts
especially over White House die
tation-and there were plenty of
senators glad to help block Roose-
velt's hopes for an immediate adj
journment.
The Senate had absolutely moth.
ing before it to indicate that the
reorganization scheme was a wise
one, nor any evidence to prove the
administration claim that it would
save S25,O00,000 a year.
On Roosevelt's side it could be
said that all previous attempts to
put through omnibus reorganiza-
ton measures by ordinary proce-
dure had failed, although recently
the president has had eXtraordi-
nary powers to effect such pro.
grams which become automatically
effective after 60 days unless both
houses reject 1t by a two-thirds
vote.
The: real large.scale reorganiza-
lion program contemplated by the
administration is yet to come. Bud
get Director Lewis Douglas will
work on that during the summer.
