Press Comment
WILSON'S IDEALISM

(The Raleigh News and Observer)
 Wilson was beaten, but there is no evidence at hand to indicate that the world won. There is, in- decd, every evidence that the fifteen years since Wilson, who had won the war, lost the peace, have been years in which the world moved in foolishness into deeper tragedy. Wilson's idealism, fifteen years after, still seems to offer the only practical way to world peace and prosperity. The nationalists have had their day, and a bitter day it has been. The dictator still struts, but he acts with a cruelty that makes evident his fears.
 At such a time in such a world no mistake will be made if there is e-examination of the idealism which was repudiated by the practical politician"

Selected Poem
THE LORD GOD PLANTED A GARDEN

HhH1 LO1NU OOD THAN FD "A GAKUEN Dorothy Frances Gurney in The Springfield
 Repubcan.) The Lord God planted a garden In the first white days of the world And He set there an angel warden In garment of light enfurled So to the peace uf heaven That the hawk might nest with the wren For there in the cool of the even God walked with the first of men, And I dream that these garden closes With their shade and their sun -flecked sod And their lilies and bowers of roses, Were laid by the hand of God. The kiss of the sun for pardon, The song of the birds for mirth- One is nearer Gods heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth.

Evidence unearthed by the state board of cleo
tions in both Alexander and Wilkes counties IS
quite convincing that Shakespeare, if he were nv
ing today, could forget all about Denmark and
turn to North Carolina in geographical catalogung
of the state of rottenness
| In Alexander where the investigation centered
around charges that Republicans voted more or less
promscuously in the Democratic primary 654 votes
were thrown out under what the Daily News cor
respondent pleased to term "a liberal construc-
ton of the so-called duplication.' How liberal
that construction may have been Is revealed
against the background of afdavits alleging that
1000 to 1900 Republicans balloted Democrats
and previous certifcation by the county board OF
elections of LOO more ballots than there were
voters on the poll books.
In Wilkes, more than enough has been divulged
to show that anything but righteousness and purity
obtained. 1t must be some sort of commentary
that the only punitive action definitely recommend
ed is issuance of perjury warrant for witness
who made allegedly false statements involving the
character of one of the principals. Yet, as the
Daily News correspondent summarized the evil
dence, it tended to show widespread grounds for
action witnesses admitting that they voted several
times; a former felon, his citizenship never re-
stored, registered and voted; votes bought at ST.,
or 50 apiece; election officials lax in observing
provisions of the law. By the effective disguise
of changing his hat, honorable citizen, it was
testified was allowed to vote four times.

mercenarily in over-abundance of votes for this,

WE CAN'T YET COMMIT OURSELVES
TO A PLAN
(Bv BRUCE CATION

AS Congress adjournS, treating itself to
a wiStful backward glance, and business
leaders meet in Washington to figure out
what the future ought to hold for NRA, a
little word of warning from William Allen
White is worth a bit of thought.
Mr.. White addressed the University OF
Kansas graduating class, and remarked
that we face two dangers, both Stemmlng
off the same point.
One danger, he said, is that in our anXl-
ETY. to get the wheels moving we may de-
liver ourselves lock, stock, and barrel into
the hands of a great plutOcracy anxious to
run the country for it's own purposes.
The other is that we may hand very
delicate and complicated bit of social AMI
economic machinery over to unframed
politicians who are eager to get power, but
who do not know how to use it intelli-
gently.
And in looking ahead, Mr.. White add
ed: "The most dangerous enemy to de-
mocracy today is man with rigid plan
either for recovery or for reconstruction.
He is likely to feel that adoption of his
plan is more important than the retention
of liberties which may endanger it,
There is a thought worth long consid-
Grafton.
We are very fortunate, as a matter OF
fact, that our future course has not ye1
been definitely charted. No one knows
what will follow the NRA; no one, so Tar
has even made any very concrete sugges
tons about it. We hardly know enough
yet to decide on our course.
Certainly there is no unanimity of opin-
ion about what sort of control the govern,
ment should exercise in the field of indus
try, as a permanent thing.
Since this is the case, it behooves us to
look very critically at any plan which is
too rigid, too complete, too definite The
best thing about our situation right now is
that everything is flexible
We are committed to very little; we can
discard, change. and revise at will, with
no hard and fast plans to get in the way
of adherence to our traditional liberties.
Sooner or later, of course. some definite
plan must cOme-if it is only plan tc
leave things alone. But there is no rush
For the moment, any inflexible program is
thing to be looked on with suspicion.

IMITATION QUAIL

lNti - tOlN SOAiL
The other day l heard a woman
say with a sigh that she wished
Ishe could have a quail for her
dinner.
Quail are hard to get nowadays.
The game laws are so strict that
the birds can be hunted but a
short time each year. Many states
Twill not allow quail to be sold or
to be shipped anywhere even with
the compliments Of the hunter. IF
you eat quail these times, you
must either shoot them yourself
during the brief open season or
stand in intimately with some
body who does shoot them.
However, if you crave quail,
! here is a recipe for q very good
substitute:
Take a young chicken weighing
about a pound and a half; cut it
Iup, dry it, roll each piece in flour,
then fry it as you would dough-
nuts-drop the pieces into boiling
vegetable or animal fat three OF
four inches deep. And that, it can
be said, is always the best way
to fry a chicken. That is the way
they fry it down in Georgia where
fried chicken was invented. Fish
is fried after the same manner in
Charleston where fried fish was
invented.
You have never eaten genuine
fried chicken and fried fish unless
you have eaten them fried in
deep fat.

From the hundreds of questions, DR.. Lee

It's new stronger "strain'' of fresh yeast-a

2. What is its Importance to Health?
A majority of common health troubles come
from slowing up of your digestive juices (see
