THE McGUFFEY MONUMENT

were students there in the years between the close
of the War Between the States and 1867 remem-
Der Dr. William Holmes McGuffey, professor of
moral philosophy and political economy. DR.. Nc
Guffey came to that institution in 1916 and was
member of it's distinguished faculty for Al years.
He was one of that galaxy of educators who made
the Virginia University outstanding among the
great colleges of the earth.
1t was not the teaching of moral philosophy and
political economy that gave DIR. McGuffey his
greatest fame. He was known best the author
of series of readers for the lower school grades.
Those readers were used in schools in all parts oil
the land and it is said that next to the Bible and
dictionaries they were best sellers.

of the birthplace of DR.. McGuffey, Is miles from,

TRADES UNIoNIsM AND coMPERs

Trades unionism in America, as represented by
the American Federation of Labor, was the crea-
ton of the late Samuel Gompers.
From the obscurities of a cigar maker in Lon
don, he came to be the greatest labor statesman
the world has known. His picture hangs today IN
the new Labor Building of the League of Nations
in Geneva.
Gompers had more rational incentive than TO
try to base great organization in the interest of
labor on the only theory that it was an exploited
class that ought to be brought into solidarity to
launch bitter offensive against employers
1t was his idea that wage-earner is business
man and that trades unionism form of or
ganzed, self help, not the organization name of a
class struggle. ....
For forty years he led the American working
man along toward this high goal, urged on by his
intelligent philosophy and sane impulse to advance
the interests of the wageearners by every legiti-
mate agency and influence, but never by the de-
vious devices of the demagogue.
All! Gompers should be living at this hour

PLANT LESPEDEZA

1T is the consensus of opinion, by agriculturists
who have made experiments wit hlespedeza, that it
is the most important forage and legume crop ~
the entire South. 1t is soil-buildng crop 1t is
also good to check erosion We throw out the sug-
gestions that much of the washed, or worn-out
lands in Burke county could be redeemed and made
to produce paying crops if it were more generally
used.
The .lespedeza program offers three advantages
it improves the soil where the clovers will not
grow without lime; it provides good pasture dur
ing the summer; and by doing this will remove q
heavy burden from permanent pastures. In feed
ing value it ranks with sweet clover, and is close
to alfalfa.
We are told by those who have it,. and have
faith in what it accomplishes, that there is no
question about lespedeza as a soil mprover. It's
ability to make some growth on any soil, regard
less of how poor, is one of its outstanding char
acterstics. 1t will do practically anything any
other soil builder will do, and probably with less
expense and endeavor.-Morganton News-Herald.

GENERAL JOHNSON RESIGNS
FUTURE OF NRA.

General Hugh S. Johnson has resigned
as NRA administrator, effective October
18th, It is said that NRA will be reorgan-
lied, with board control instead of one
man control.
Immediately following public announce
ment of General Johnson's retirement,
thousands of individual and newspaper
opinions of the man and his work as NRA
administrator were voiced and printed;
and these are coupled with voluminous
press discussions of the past, present and
future of NRA.
The newspaper comment indicates that
the press of the country does not discount
General Johnson's good qualities as man
or his patriotism as a citizen, and he Is
given full credit for his vast amount Of
earnest effort and hard work in the office
of NRA administrator. Those who con-
denim NRA in whole or in part are not dis
posed to deprive General Johnson of any
of the credit due him.
Differences of opinion, among individu-
ais and in press comment, is shown in wide
degree in the views expressed in reference
to the Johnson resignation and the future
of NRA. Clarence barrow contends that
Johnson's retirement marks the end of
NRA. In other quarters the view is held
that the reorganization of NRA is the fore
runner of more government control of bust
ness, more interference and domination of
the private affairs of the people by bu-
reaucrats.
A common-Sense view of NRA is that it
contains some practical ideas that might
prove helpful to business and industry, if
continued in a reasonable way, but the
larger part of the scheme is impractical
and detrimental to the recovery of the
country. The problems and difficulties
which have arisen in connection with this
attempt to standardize and regiment the
country's business, together with the cost
of administering the codes, offset nearly
all the advantages gained through NRA.
One thing in this connection is certain
President Roosevelt and the Washington
administration may accept this as definite
ana certain development-if greater eff
forts are made in the future to "crack
down" or put the screws on business than
have been witnessed in the past two years,
the so-called recovery of the country
will be permanently defeated.
Public opinion in industry and business
and in many other quarters, today holds
the view that government interference in
and control of business and governmet en-
gagged in business is one of the principal
difficulties in the way of recovery. The
uncertainty and fear which becioud the
minds of business men, who do not know
what scheme the government will next
pull on the country, is big factor in halt
ing progress and business improvement
and the forward movement is hating a.
this time, as all industrial and trade stats
tics show.
