The explosion occurred about a
mile from the sanatorium. Although

said the explosion was sufficient to

caught fire.

is followed by the Democrats.

Capt. Peterson sent message to

into action. Previously the Havana
had requested the Coast Guard to
stand by, reporting it had crashed
shortly before 4 am.
The Ell Oceano was the first to ar
rive. 1t was guided by the Coast
Guard plane Sirius from Miami.
The plane spotted the bobbing life
boats for the Ell Oceano, dipping and
zooming to show where they were
wallowing in the sea.
Soon the Peten was sighted and
the Sirius guided this ship also.
The Havana left New York for
Havana Thursday. Most of the pass

were five girls aboard from Benning-

some passengers were from Philadel-

most four months after the disaster
of another Ward liner, the MORO

the El. Oceano was carried out in
heavy seas without mishap, except for
the SWamping of one lifeboat. A
woman and her two children were
swept into the water, but were saved
by seaman.

Havana didn't know what happened" )"

Although it had been raining, it
was bright sunlight when the boats
were swung over the side. I boarded
the Ell Oceano absolutely dry"

clan, said the first he knew of the
accident was when a steward came to

were to go in the event the ship was

that can be conceived by the Goddess
horde that is doing the work of the Devil
throughout the world today.
And it strongly behooves the American
people, as Dale Miller says, to arouse anu
fight the gigantic movement now under
way in this country, the movement away
from Constitutional government and into
the uncharted ways of radicalism.
No noise that can be raised is to be con-
demned, if it calls the people of the United
States back to love of country, to genuine
and self-sacrifcing patriotism; to conf
dence in and respect for the fundamental
law of the land and to a fixed determina-
ton to support and defend the American
system of government at all costs.

ROOSEVELT IN 1886

Political forecasters now seem certain that Pres-
dent Roosevelt will be renominated and that he will
run on platform pledged to change the ConstltU-
ton so as to enable him to carry out his policies to
the fullest extent. That means that there will be
split in the Democratic party, for there is con-
sentative element in the party who will not stand
for the rather radical policies of the President.
That element, or wing of the Democratic party,
will take away enough of the Presidents strength
at the next election to let in Republican as Mr..
Roosevelts successor. This is the opinion of many
at this time Of course, no can yet tell what
may develop between now and next summer
Changes may come about in the meantime whereby
all factions of democracy may come together IN
harmony, but not so if the so-called regular party
shall pledge itself too far in the direction of social
ism, or Capitalization, because there many lead
ing Democrats who simply will not stand for the
party of jefferson or Jackson to be warped into
party of Capitalization and socialsm.-Mocksville

SOCIALISTIC is SENTIMENT

Labor Chief Asserts Roosevelt Will Be Renomi-

make such an assertion? 1t is because he knows that
the President has shown special favors to organized
labor to the discrimination of the farmers and the
small, well as the large business men? Would &
labor Chief be likely to express enthusiasm for
the nomination of man for the presidency whose
policies he knew to be based on the Jeffersonian
Democratic principle of, Equal Rights to All ard
Special Privileges to None" Hardly. And that

is going to be tester as to whether the United

IMPROVE THE COUNTRY ROADS

The Gastonia Gazette severely condemns
the proposal to spend three or four million
dollars of federal money to build Ooule-
ward from Greenville, S. c., to Concord, N.
C.. Of course there is foundation of solid
reasoning under what The Gazette says
but the Gastonia paper must not overlook
the straits to which the Washington spend
ers are being subjected in the effort to dis
pose of all the money Congress has appro-
priated to be thrown away. Wasn't 1T ap-
propriated for the purpose of being vast
ed? The answer is yes.
The GastOnia Gazette's view of what
might be done with much of this cash, how
ever, is reasonable and sensible. The sug-
geStion is that country roads, leading to the
homes of the farmers, and connecting them
with the main highways, should be I'M
proved. That would be road Improvement
worth making; and if the money was ex-
pended in the right way and the improve
ments secured were worth the cost, the
country would have something to show for
the millions spent in this way.
A boulevard may be highly desirable.
We doubt if there is a crying demand fer
one from Greenville to Concord But there
are, in North Carolina at least, many thou
sands of country jewellers who could be
rendered, real service by the improvement
of the roads leading from the paved high
ways to their homes.

BACK TO THE CONSTITUTION

In the last number of The Texas Weekly
Dale Miller concludes an article with this
paragraph:
1t may seem to the average citizen that all
this hullabaloo raised over the Constitution is
much ado about nothing, and that the good old
American Democracy is imperviOus to change.
But the day will surely come when the issues
evolving now cannot be dismissed by complac
ency. The issues pulSating political life to-
day have not arisen by accident The circum-
stance that they exist in the face of an apathetie
public opinion is testimony to the subtlety of
their development across the years. And it
Strongly behooves the American people to arrest
the development at least long enough to ask
themselves the question whether the political
tendencies omnpresent today are compatible
with those transcendent principles of democracy
which have been their heritage since America was
born.
If the average American citizen is indif-
ferent to the Constitution and is not inter
ested in any proposal to change or amend
it, or in any movement to scrap it, or to
change the form of his government, it is
because the average citizen has fallen from
HIS SSIdIG DIS q lISG-UOTu AIlSrlCdH. IL
is because that patriotism which animated
the fathers of this country, and which is
the heritage of every native citizen, has
evaporated from the pusillanimous soul of
the average citizen; and he is willing to
sell his birthright for the flimsy and fleet
ing promises of one or many of the import
ed isms that have been brought into this
country from foreign nations.
The Constitution is the guarantee of the
individual and collective rights of the pei
pie of this country. 1t stands between the
people and Communism, which would
transform, the United States into North
American Russia. 1t stands between the
people of this country and HiHerism,
which would transform the United States
lnto~a North American Germany. 1t stands
between the people of this country and the
schemes of dietators, both foreign and ma
tVsS and all the oppression and tyranny

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THE PEOPLE REVOLT AGAINST DEBT

Signs indicate that the American people at
last awakening to the danger of tax-creating prop
erty-confscating' bond Issues.
A few weeks ago special election held in
Rhode Island in which the voters were called upon
to pass on a number of proposals for building pub
lie works and carrying on other activities in the
name of relief In spite of the fact that passage OF
all the bills would have increased the states bond
ed Indebtedness by about so per cent, the dope"
had it that the measures, with their political back
ing, would pass.
The "dope" missed Rhode Island citizens voted
down all but one of the measures, by heavy ma
iorities The measure that passed provided for di
rect relief for the needy, and designed to
achieve the necessary purpose at a minimum CT
cost-without saddling the taxpayers with unnee-
essary and expensive public works.
A short time later the voters of California met
similar crisis at the polls Several measures which
would have put that already debt-ridden state far
Their into debt, were on the ballot. An awakened
citizenry swung the axe-and when the votes were
counted the measures had taken hearty ckings.
1t is to be hoped that thes collections, in widely
separated states, are symbolic of the national trend
of thought. The most menacing governmental ven
lures of recent years have been those which have
piled debt upon debt, put government into comps
titon with private business increased taxes, weak
ened state credit and created industrial fear. This
course has made it next to impossible to create
normal jobs because private industry, sole source
of productive employment, is afraid to take
chances in the face of confscatoy taxation, egis-
lation and regulation We are drawing claptrap
into taxfree federal bonds where its chief benefits
accrue to growing bureaucracy, not to the peo-
pie or the needy.

debt-creating bond ssues.-Monroe Enquirer.
