NEWSPAPERS OPINION
A KING STEPS DOWN

Death and force often have made vacant thrones
but history recounts few abdications because a
monarch was jealous of his prerogatives and
stepped down and out because of interference That
is what happened Saturday when King Prajadhipok,
of Siam, who has been residing in England for
weeks, handed his abdieation to the Siamese lega-
ton in London to be forwarded at once to the
Siamese National Assembly.
King Prajadhipok visited the United States sew
eral years ago for the purpose of having his eyes
treated by an American specialist. While here he
and his queen made a tour of the country and
made friends of all who met them. Both impressed
reporters as being most democratic and the king
on more than one occasion won the title of good
fellow"
Nothing illustrates the humor of Prajadhipok
more than his interview with the press Saturday
afternoon after he had signed his abdication Pull
ing at pipe and wearing sport suit, he received
the newsmen cordially and asked that he be ex-
cused from discussing politics At the end of the
interview he turned and said to them: "There IS
one thing that l would like to ask. Please don't
describe me as brother of the moon or possessor
of "a umbrellas. I don't know who invented them.
Actually there is ceremonial umbrella but some
one invented the fact that am the possessor of
"a umbrellas and relative of the moon. l can
assure you that I'm not"
In the United States the former potentate might
be called regular guy In England they may
be calling him "0ld Top. His secretary told the
newsmen that the action of the king is final and
that he has no expectation of return to the
throne. If he should settle in England and change
his name to Cholmondely, or some other good Eng
lish name, he might make fine old English squire
And should he leave children they might sit in
Parliament. The king has retired but it is under
stood that he has pocket full of rocks. Spar

Carolina drys.
"Why, don't you know the prohibition
law is being violated" they cry; 'and the
only way to control liquor is to legalize
the manufacture and sale; and that would
oct vast amount of revenue for the State
government"
What the drys fail to understand about
the attitude of the vets is Gf the latter
are the enthusiastic friends of temperance
they claim to be) why they prefer two
kinds of liquor traffic to one and a condl-
ton which will increase liquor consump-
ton, drunkenness and liquor lawlessness
many times, if their plan is tried out in
North Carolina
If legalizing liquor would eliminate
bootleggers, make everybody law-abiding,
do away with all the evils that are inherent
in liquor and the liquor business, promote
temperance, and bring on the Millennium,
it is certain an overwhelming majority of
drys would favor that course. They OPP
pose it because the entire history of the
liouor business in this country gives the lie
to all wet claims. 1t was true before pro-
hibition and it is true since repeal. In more
than thirty States the evidence is piling up
mountain high and no one except "a wet
who refuses to see can ignore it., 1t is the
same old story Liquor and the liquor bust
ness cannot be controlled" The only way
to control the traffic in alcoholic beverages
is to outlaw it. That is not perfect plan
under present conditions, but it is the best
and most effective plan that has ever been
tried.
In view of the facts of history and the
evidence of today, shall we try the Virginia
plan for so-called Control of the liquor
business?
We do not believe North Carolina will
do it.

A BOOMERANG

There was an Irishman who said tree in his
yard was straight. A friend looking at it easily
detected that it not straight and said no. "Oh"
replied the Irishman " it is so straight that it
leans the other way" That seems to about de-
scribe the attitude of Senator JAS F. Byrnes IN
the capta-labor question. On it he is so straight
that he leans all the way over to labor. The ex-
PLANTATION is easy. Labor has far more votes than
capital. Senator Byrnes is championing a bill
which will forbid IN employer bringing in help
from other states than that in which his plant is
located. Its object is frankly stated to be to help
strikers by making it harder to replace them. If
such bill is necessary it should be double-bar-
relied bill 1t should also prohibit strikers going
from one state into another to help strikers The
flying squadrons of the attempted general textile
strike last fall seldom composed of strikers
from one state alone. The flying squadron which
tore through the streets of Greenye, disregardlng
speed limits and traffic lights, contained cars with
North Carolina and Tennessee licenses, as well as
cars bearing the licenses of this state. Come clean,
senator, and if have to have bill OF that sort,
make double barreled BILL aimed at strikers as
well as employers-Greenville Observer.

Step by step the man battled

He reached the first torch, and
as he did so its flames shot out,
and the Juggling strand labeled
Brutality was burned through and
