Ry j. G.. baskerville

Raleigh, Oct. 8-The selection of
Governor j. G. B. Ehringhaus by the
Democratic National Committee as
one of it's chief campaigners in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, regarded as two
of the most doubtful states in the pre-
sent Presidential campaign, is regard
ed here as being and instinct tribute
both to the democracy of Governor
Ehringhaus and his ability as a
speaker There have been indications
for some time that Chairman Jim
Farley Of the National Democratic
Committee thought highly of Cover
nor Ehringhaus as a speaker for the
Democratic party, inasmuch as on
several occasions he has called on the
governor to address important gather
ings in other states. But now the
speakers bureau of the Democratic
National Committee has notified Gov
ernor Ehringhaus that they want him
to make speeches for President Roose
welt and the Democratic party in
Ohio and Pennsylvania from October
10 to October 30, inclusive.
Those who know Governor Ehring-
haus and have heard him speak, know
that he makes very logical and con-
vincing speech with a smoothness and
ease that makes him very effective.
And while his style and diction are
as smooth as velvet and as soft as
silk, he packs a wallop like sledge
hammer when he starts driving his
points home, his friends maintain. It
was this unusual style combined with
the wallop at the end which first at
tracted the attention of National Dem
ocratic leaders, especially Jim Far
ley, and led to their drafting of him
as one of thir front lin campaigns.
Still another thing which attracted
the attention Of the National Demo

100000 on October 80. 1929. On
October 40, 1886. they amounted TO
Sl5.340. 600, 900. The only difference IS
that today they are not so active.
Still, they may become so at any mo.
ment.
AS one will recall. these dollars In
1929 were circulated rapidly by spec.
ulators, drawn from every walk OF
life. People. who refused to toll at
the shopboards and contingencies
of legitimate business were found
leaning on the stockholders. where
they reaped undeserved returns. gen.
orally much higher than the wages
which they rejected. But. not to be
outdone by their predecessors. there
are many people today who would
much rather depend on relief than
work at anything less than the estab-
lished or Union wage scale.
And making the whole situation
even more top-heavy are the oppres-
sive, graduated t-xes on undistributed
corporate profits. Much has been
made in the last few weeks Of the
threat of unionism. particularly In
the steel trade, to account for in
creased wages. Equally as much has
been said about the soundness OF the
recovery to account for the resunp-
ton Of dividends. and for the extra
dividends paid In many cases. But the
fact remains that In the absence of
such taxes, corporate earnings would
traditionalfy be used for expansion
and WORKING eapitaI
So. collectively speaking. not only
docs labor sacrifices fuller employ.
ment for larger pay envelopes for
those employed. but higher dividends
tend to improve stock prices. and to
enable corporations to sell enough
additional stock to finance their own
growth. Already large mail order
house after raising. wages and divi-
dends has started the ball rolling by
offering 100000 shares of It's common
stock to its stockholders at prices
under the market" so as to pro.
vide at least $50. 600 for this pur-
pose.
Obviously. the country is again liv.
ing near "the top Of the pot" happy
in the expectation of a plethora Of
paper profits. Surely. If this state Of
things is to continue. the only con-
cIusion that can be drawn from our
'stock-taking" Is that another attack
has been launched by the Missionaries,
preaching perpetual prosperity: One
can safely predict that after a pros
perity so manufactured. everybody
will try to get out" at the same time.
with the result that all the fat will
again be In the FIRE.

The decision of the American
Federation Of Labor, as expressed
by resolution at the Tampa con-
vention, is not to put out a labor
ticket in the political campaigns
of this country. The vote probably
reflects the current view that
third parties, after all, do not get
the votes in a national election
and also, to some extent, a desire
to administer a slap at the Lewis
faction which seems TO be inclined
to abandon the custom Of Labor
to pass on candidates rather than
to put Up its own nominees. We
think the decision was wise in the
light of present conditions and
the experience of the recent elee-
ton but no one can foretell what
the situation will be in 1910.

PEOPLES FORUM
ToOTHPICK TOPICS

Editor, The Citizen:
Once, to every man, comes the
desire to own a boat, however
small, and IN Jacks case this urge
had been stifled. In Jacks life
there were two great loves, whis-
ky and fishing. He had lesser
loves but he was constant in these
two. The idea of a boat contain
ing space to 'sleep" two and an
engine to propel it often reached
a point nearing actuality; that is,
boats were examined and decided
upon, but the cash became divert
ed to whisky at the last moment
and Jack would spend weeks sail
ing uncharted seas full of awful
monsters. He would then start to
"earn" back his boat money at the
race track and in due time an
other search would begin for a
seaworthy craft. But there was,
seemingly, no boat that could keep
pace with Jacks capacity for
whisky and only his love for fish
Ing could separate him from his
bottle.
A windfall in the shape of
check from home came, at last,
and the boat was all but purchas
ed. Money-in-hand, Jack stopped
for a congratulatory cocktail with
friends. When, hours later, Jack
was finally located, he was off on
another bottle cruise. Last heard
from he was being weaned on wa
tered rye. The first love had tri.
umphed.

With these figures in mind. II
is easy to understand why the
Fl esident has made it clear that
he will ask Congress for funds
with VIII Oh to continue the work
relief program. Some months ago
Mr.. Roosevelt estimated that So
00O,000,000 would be needed for
the present fiscal year and he ask
ed for $500, 100000, then re-
serving the right to ask for more
Now he finds this necessary, part
" because industrial employment
has not yet taken over the unem-
ployed and partly because an IN
expected drought required the use
of large sums for relief in farm
areas. However, there are signs
in the air that this huge expense
will be somwhat Iightened in the
near future as cond .tions in in
dustry improve.
