LET REPEAL STAND ON ITS OWN FEET

IF repeal of constitutional prohibition is on the
way, and it appears so, the campaign to hasten u
should be predicated on the features that nave
made it Objectionable in so many respects, and not
on glowing predictions of liquor as tax source
Naturally, if repeal succeeds, alcohohc oeVer-
ages will be taxed and should be, but to BRING
hack liquor because of the federal revenue II
might yield is not an argument that should meet
with the public's conception of the motive under
living repeaI of a constitutional amendment. In
tae case of the Eighteenth Amendment, the pri-
mary reason for discarding it is that it has gen.
orally had the opposite effect from the well-ln-
teptioned purpose for which it was originally
adopted-the promotion of temperance, and not
because of license fees or barrel taxes.
In the matter of exerting federal pressure 10
force the several states to vote dry there Is an
other complaint To threaten to withhold federal
sums from the unemployed for work on public
projects as whip to induce wet vote IS IN en-
tire discord with the American recognition OF the
inherent right of the citizens of the states, ana
the commonwealth themselves, to express their
feelings on constitutional amendments after rea-
soned consideration.
A discussion of the issue on its own merits, ana
without threats of federal reprsals for states tha
do not agree, is. more in keeping with the spirit
of temperance that repeal is intended to restore

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
A MISS PERKINS BLUNDER

Many years ago it was discovered that hook
worm found its way into the human system by
way of the bare feet which picked up the germs,
communicated them to the blood which at last de-
posted them in the intestines.
II is quite probable that the reports OF that dis
covery made profound impression on the young
mind of Miss Frances Perkins, now secretary OF
labor in Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet and, since the
hookworm was most prevalent IN the South at thaV
time, she doubtless formed the opinion that the
South was a land of bare feet Hence her late
faux pas about the necessity for shoes In the
South and her statement that if the South could
be shod the buying of shoes would be great
stimulus for industry
The storm of disapproval which followed Miss
Perkins remarks has about subsidized. Champions
for the South rushed to its defense and showed
that the states of Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, VIZ
ginia Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North and
South Carolina, paid more than Sl1o,0Ou,oOo Ior
shoes in 1929. That seemed to be sufficient an
swer to Miss Perkins argument and peace Is III
the offing.
But if Miss Perkins should happen to hear the
words of that old song, once much sung III the
South, the refrain of which relates little society
item in these words: 81 danced with girl with
hole in her stocking hole in her stocking, mole
in her stocking" she might take notion that the
hosiery of the Southern people IS hopeiessly worn
and needs replenshng and she might go on at
another verbal tangent. Let it be hoped that the
able secretary of labor will suffer more BRAIN
storms about the South. We buy socks and wom-
ems hose task the MANI in large quantities, and
in snite of some poor manufacturing we manage
to get by with expert darning. Ask the women

Bray, George Ross and w. H,
Sullivan.
An analysis of this committee
shows that it is decidedly in SYM
patty with the consolidation plan.
Governor Gardner originated the
consolidation plan and secured its
enactment by the 1881 general
assembly, Will eHarrelson, Fau-
cette, Ross and Sullivan are re-
garded as being in favor of it, so
long as the State College unit is
not injured as a result Of it. Al!
of the State alumni feel, Of
course, that State College should
continue to be the technical and
agricultural school of the Uni
versity and that all except the
more theoretical branches of en-
gineering should continue to be
taught at State. But this is what
Governor J. c. B. Ehringhaus
thinks, what former Governor
Gardner thought, and what most
Of the members of the board OF
trustees seem to thing. There are
still some at Chapel Hill who
would like to see the entire En-
gineering School moved there.
But they are in the minority and
merely chasing rainbows, from
what can be learned here. So
State really has very little to
worry about.

BEALLE VERSUS REYNOLDS


ert Rice Reynolds is liar. Bealle will be
remembered as the business manager of
The HenderSOnville Times, when it was
published, back in 1924, by Leroy Sargent,
and Reynolds is a Senator from North
Carolina.
Bealle is now publishing magazine in
Washington, called plain Talk" and in a
speech delivered in High Point on June
5th he made ''vicious attack" (the Ian
guage Of the news story on Senators Rob
inson of Arkansas and Bailey of North
Carolina and then Bealle got Senator
Robert Rice Reynolds of North Carolina 20
have the speech printed in the Congress
sional Record,
Naturally, the appearance of the speech
In The Record caused some "wopderment
in the Senate and threw North Carolina s
junior Senator into a state of cOnsterna-
ton. In fact, the Senator's CONSERVATION
was so acute that he fastened to make his
first speech to that august body in the
form of an apology to Senators Robinson
and Bailey. Senator Reynolds said he did
not read the Bealle speech before request
ing that it be printed in the Congressional
Record and that ne was, therefore, ignor7
ant of the text.
No doubt Senators Robinson and Bailey
and the Senate as a whole were satisfied
with the North Carolina Senator's ex-
PLANTATION and apology, in spite of the fact
that Senator Reynolds indicated, when he
asked leave to print Bealle's speech, that
he had read it and considered it a very
fine speech; but the next day Morris Bealle
gave the newspapers statement in which
he called Senator Reynolds "liar," say
ing that Reynolds read the speech before
asking leave to print it, and that he and
the Senator went over the speech together
and revised it, deleting reference to Con-
gresham Pou and otherwise changing 1t.
The public is seldom impressed by state
ments in which the word "liar," or other
rough language, Is freely used; but, after
making due allowance for that, the public
will probably conclude in this case that
Morris A, Bealle has put Senator Reynolds
. in a deep hole. If the Senator had not read
the speech, he showed very poor Judgment
in asking that it be printed in The Record ;
and if he had read it, he showed very poor
Judgment in denying the fact in his apol-
ogy to the Senate. AS matter of fact, III
asking leave to print it, the whole tenor
of Reynolds speech indicated that he had
read the Bealls speech and approved it.
4 All of which combined may not be
worth the news space given it by the pa
pers and the space donated herewith
and, on the other hand, the people of the
State may be interested in having this in
formation about their junior Senator.

The moral obligation on the government to pay
OFF depositors in closed banks who trusted IN the

not east off into the dark the depositors In those

What Is 1t?
Certain Something in
Reno Makes Women
Change Minds.

BIZ United Press
ID EMO, New, March 29.-There's a
IN certain something in Reno that
makes people change their minds
Russ Colombo, radio crooner, opined
today.
His experience, he admitted, was
like Rudy Vallees in this western
divorce center-only different.
Russ started west to wed a New
York society girl after she obtained
her divorce, he said. While he was
en- route, she wired him she'd
changed her mind.
Vallee's wife, the chic Fay Webb,
was her consulting lawyers some
months ago She, too, changed her
mind-and started back east to her
grooming husband after a long-dis-
tance telephone conversation with
him
Colombo didn't name the girl,
who changed her mind.
He denied it was Hannah Will
liams Kahn, wife of Roger Wolfe
Kahn, New York orchestra leader
and bankers son.
We're just a couple of old friends
in strange city," Colombo said of
Miss Williams.
That's right" she agreed.

City's Unknown Traced
by Postoffice Sleuth

and general delivery division, han
die the task.
Few letters fail to reach a destina-
ton. Hittle has supervised delivery
of approximately a million letters to
unknown addresses during his nine
teen years in that department.
Messages, improperly addressed,
come from all parts of the world.
Those postmarked foreign are ad-
vertised weekly on a bulletin board
in the corridor at the postoff1ce,
which helps locate many addresses.
In Service Thirty Years
This week are posted names of
persons for whom letters from
Budapest, London Belfast and Bre-
forsendelser are waiting.
Hittle has been in the postal SER
vice thirty years and says his job
gets easier each year.
People are more careful to adj
dress letters properly than they
were several years ago Even let
ters with foreign postmarks are not
as hard to deliver" Hittle explains.
English is used more often now
and senders have learned the ne
cessity of putting return addresses
on letters and parcels"
Average Much Lower
This prevents many letters from
going to the dead letter office at
Washington.
Letters from foreign ports that
were unbelievable once numbered
fifty to sixty daily, but now aver
age from ten to twelve a day, he
declares.
If an addressee of a foreign let
ter is not located in thirty days,
it is advertised for a week, then
returned to the exchange division
for return to the sender.
Hittle says his department is able
to locate so per cent Of the I'M
known addresses, while practically
all other letters are returned to
senders.
