Selection of New President
By School Board Popular.

SefectlOn OI New ETcSiucHt
By School Board Popular.
THE Board OF Education has ma
terially added to its popularity
among organized civic Washington
/ through the unanimous election of
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle as its
president Very frequently has the
board come in for generous criticism
from these same sources as well as
| from the press. Now all Of the news
columns of the local papers relate in
most friendly way the action of the
board in elevating the vice president
| to the presidency and four Of these
papers have printed highly compli-
mentary editorials on Mrs. Doyle and
her particular fitness for the position
and of the board for its wisdom in
making the selection.
Organized civic Washington ma

ranks During the two years of her

Der OF years she has been an en-
thusiastic member of the Citizens
Joint Committee on National Repre-
sentation.
Mrs. Doyle has always been a will
ing worker for District welfare. While
she has filled the higher stations she
has never hesitated to assume some
of the hand to hand work in humber
capacities. Many remember her as
sisting at the national representation
booths at the industrial expoSitionS
where she passed out printed matter
and explained the Districts voteless
and unrepresented plight and what
the Citizens Joint Committee Is try
ing to do about it.
The election of Mrs. Doyle has in

never a president better equipped by
experience and temperament. Her ex-
perience embraces the roles of teach
or, parent and patron of the schools;
active civic worker and seven years as
a member of the Board of Education.
Her record as a member of the board
has been such as to make both parent

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
YOUR LIFE AT STAKE

During 1884, accidents of all kinds caused 1O1,-
600 deaths-the highest total on record-n addl-
ton to almost 10;OO0,0OO non-fatal injuries.
The total cost of those accidents including wage
loss, medical expense and property damage
amounted to $3,500,0OO, 600. ..-. -.
Accidents are responsible for more deaths TO
persons between the ages of five and nineteen than
any other cause Among persons of all ages only
three diseases result in more deaths than DO &C
cidents. .. ...a'e. D.. ".
These are facts that should make the public
panse think and remember. The waste of accl-
dents both in lives and materials, is complete and
irrevocable. 1t cannot be repaired And 1t Is al
most entirely unnecessary.
OF all forms of accidents, those caused by the
automobile are of course the most serious. be-
tween 1918 and 1884 motor vehicle deaths IN
creased from 1927 to $4,000 year, while other
kinds of accidents dropped from 1928 to $4,000
That is largely due to the increased number of cars
in use-but the fact remains that at present motor
accidents per thousand gallons of gasoline con-
sun1ed are on the risse The reckless driver is be-
coming more reckless-the incompetent driver is
becoming still more of a menace to all who use the
streets and highways The automobile accident rec
ord is in striking contrast to that of industry which
has made magnificent progress in reducing both the
severity and frequency of accidents in even the
most hazardous factory operations.
The war on accidents is every citizens war, and
every citizen should 'tjoin the colors." Thousands
OF lives to say nothing of billions of dollars are at
stake-and' your life and your dollars are among
them-Morganton News-Herald.

Is THE SOLID SOUTH SPLITTING?

= ''There probably never has been time IN the
South when undercurrents of criticism were run
ming so strongly as today against Democratic
president In section where it was unsafe to
criticize Woodrow Wilson, President Roosevelt is
on the defensive among old Southern families who
see their system of economic feudalism crumbling
before New Deal, which is making the Negro
economically independent of them and reducing
their cotton crops. Through a combination of per-
sona and political factors, the leading rabble-rous-
ers of the South are also in full cry against MIN.
In the sense that Louisiana very probably is gone
and Georgia may be slipping from the Democratic
electoral column The Solid South again has be-
come politically debatable."
fhis is the sentiment by Theodore C. Wallen,
writing in the New York Tribune. Tt is a conclu-
sion reached no doubt, because of criticisms of
tbe New Deal by such men as Governor Talmadge
of Georgia, Senator Long of Alabama, Senators
Byrd and Glass of Virginia, and Smith of South
Carolina Without undertaking to discuss the criti-
cisms of Mr. Roosevelt by Southern men, we do
want to deny Walen's statement that making the
Negro economically Independent of white land
lords and reducing their cotton crops is the basis
for any opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt. .. . ..
Southern white people, with few exceptions, re-
joice over any progress the Negro makes. In fact

Negro advancement, socially, morally and economi-

VILLAGE PHI osoPHERS SAVE
THEIR FORUM
(By BRUCE sCATT0N)

The problem of free speech, as far as
the ordinary citizen is. concerned, is often
not so much the problem of being allowed
to say what you please as The problem Of
finding good place in which to say it.
Big cities handle the situation by setting
aside public forums, and by organizing a
multiplicity of clubs, lodges, and societies
in which the Individual gets his chance
every now and then to air his views. e,
Small towns, equally inventive, but hav-
ing less to work with have traditionally
fallen back on the local post.0fice. u, Y. 4.
All of which is by way of prelude to the
announcement that the village of Lfhcoln,
Ind, has saved its post office - on the
ground that, while it may not do much
business in the way of stamps and letters
it does provide the citizens with a handy
place to arise and speak their minds about
the state of the nation. @@e''' - ~.
Iincom's post office was about to be
closed The village has fewer than zoe in
habitants, the postal business was not
flomishing. Washington had decided that
Lincoln could get along with ordinary r. F.
d rservice. . g., ,.. .:..... .s . ....i
But the people of Lincoln rose in wrath
to protest. Maybe they didn't get or send
much n1ail-but what would the village
debating society do if its meeting place
were closed? How could this or any other
American small town get along If the
cracker barrel philosophers were put out
of business? -n VS.
To the credit of the authorities at Wash
5ngton, these pleas were heard As a re-,
suit, Lincoln keeps its post office. And the
whole thing has a distinctive flavor of
rural America which cannot fail te-stdr the
emotions of anyone who has ever lived IN,
a small town. 8
It would hardly be going too far TO say
that every American administration for the
hast century has had to stand 'or fan, In the,
long run, ON fhe success or failare of its
appeal to these village forums of post of :.
fee and general store. H., .
It is there, ON drewsy afteruorf6s and,
long evenings, that local sentiment selid-
fies; there that issues are canTassed ard
mems minds made up there, I'M fact, that
the public opinion of the,nation is put into
shape. -
1t is altogether about as homely an in
stituti6n as TINS country possesses 1t is.
also one of the most powerful. It settles
the faeesof presidents and senators; of tar
ifs and foreign policies, of swings to the.
right and swings to the left.
No matter who you are or what you are
