You may never need me, but if

You'll find me willing, your friend

THE FURY OF PRIMARY POLITICS

i With all of it's virtues the primary system is no
without its serious vices. a'
! Sucb a fact is always more impressive wher
contests within given party committed 10 thl'
method of referendum are close and bitter and tins
&c nv no means infrequent
Indeed in this state for all major offices within
recent years, primary contests have been exceed
;nelv unfrendly and left tinge of iong-standlng
acridity. ''', ~" -.
For one thing, they are tremendously expensive
candidate for some, one IF the more lmpor'
tant offices is often forced to lay out as much as
he would earn in ten years i'll the form OF compen-
sation for holding such an office.
In all cases. the expense is too great whether
the candidate is running for major or minor
place.
More serious still is the detection OF the primary
in that it promotes bad feeling,
Men who offer for office ought to be inspected
nv the electorate in Z calm and upruffed approach.
A certain amount of detachment is essential IN
this matter in the interest of getting the right men
for the right place.
1t is detrimental to the ends OF government 10
have body of voters become so imprisoned IN
their prejudices as that the personalities and the
issues are obscsred from apprasement on the basis
Of sole merit and fair dealing: Time will come,
indeed, it would seem, judging from what usually
bapuens in these primary contests in North Caro-
lima that the voters will become totally dsinterest
Cd in such vital question of the merit OF the men
who are candidates or in the principles of govern
ment for which they stand or the issues which sep
arate them in their candidates.. ,ss-,sr .--.; ..
This would be to infct ,perilous injury upon the
cause of acceptable and efficient government. r
When men vote their mere passions and sspites
and preiudces, when the mass-mind is whipped by
clever tongues and smooth-speaking ,demagogues
into unreason, forgetting the merits and the Quail
ties of the men offering for office and ignoring the
vital questions of policy which may be at stake
government, of course, unavoidably goes down hill
Such is the tendency of the primary in North
Carolina, and such it has been in this state for
many years. .2s 80 - 49, .-4.a ..
So much heat is developed, so many .estrange-
ments are wrought so much of the mob spirit is
engendered and so much passion and sheer emo
tionalism come into play that the voters make these
paramount rather than the duty resting upon them
as good citizens to survey the men and the meas
ures to Judge the issues and the, personalities, and
to come to final decision on this high and vital ba

cover tnem--or IL doesn't, acCoru-
ing to the way you look at it.
No new appropriation was re-
quired. Ickes will merely be
spending money which otherwise
would have been recoverable"
and sooner or later have been paid
back into the treasury. Thus it
doesn't do the deficits or the ma
tional debt any good-not by
$3.50, 100000.
But it's worth pointing out that,
under the most favorable circum-
stances, the sum may mean up to
a billion dollars in public works.
Ickes has said that only about
half the recipients of ,PWA grants
now require loans from PWA
funds, the others being able to get
them under as favorable terms on
the market.
THERE'S an increasing DISPOSE
L ton to question the accuracy
Of WPA statistics, although it
would be difficult for any agency
to check them. =.
Ickes anG his friends are sorer
than ever at Hopkins, because
they believe the facts as to the
relative employment potentialities
Of WPA and PWA were misrep-
resented to the president.
Hopkins, the Ickes faction
claims, persuaded Roosevelt to
agree that all figures as to
government-created work should
be collated through WPA. The
same group charges that the fip-
ures, by the time they were pre-
sented to F. D. R.. prior to his
apparent decision to let PWA- die
on the vine, were "doped." .
On big PWA projects such as
the Tri-Borough Bridge in New
York, where the states put up S.
per cent of the money, it is
claimed by PWA fans that the.
cost to the federal government per
man employed is less than the
WPA cost.

Under congressional pressure,
Roosevelt came around to the idea
of using a PWA revolving fund
for PWA grants in a continuation
of the loan-grant system which
would use RIG money for PWA
loans.
Jones vigorously sought the
power to handle the PWA loans,
which would have meant control
over the grants and would have
left Ickes somewhat in the posi-
ton of an Office boy. -
Even more astonishingly, the
RIG chairman proposed that he

BRITISH TRAFFIC PROBLEMS

That Great Britain, as we'll as the United States,
is finding the hazards of modern motor travel grave
is shown by the recent beginning of analysis OF
100000 of death injuries on British high
ways. This nationwide survey of accidents is ex-
pestsd to provide sufficient data to make possible
the determining both iof the causes of these acct
dents and of possible remedies Likewise a five
year program of road construction is being under
taken in the interest of public safety. ... ....
Last year an application of the study plan in
sections of London proved most useful as accidents
and resultant fatalities were thereby. lessened.
Hence the analysis plan will now be applied to the
whole country, which is declared to be "the most
densely vehicled" in the world, with twenty-three
motor vehicles registered per square mile as, COM
pared to eight in the United States s.. . .r
Great Britain lays special stress on it's road
construction enterprise to provide safety in auto
mobile driving. A type of highway is proposed to
combine accommodation facilities for varied
group. of users. Trunk thoroughfares are to be
built to replace narrow, winding roads where traf-
c is heavy. These will provide four lanes for We
hices of all sorts, two in each direction, sidewalks
OF footpaths for pedestrians, path for cyclists
we'll as bride path. . . -. , ,...,.
| Such luxurious type of highway construction
| in a foreign country will come as. surprise to
most Americans who have come to look upon their
own country's roads as the best in the world. The
| cost would render it impossible in nation of the
vast extent and comparatively sparse population
that this one has. But in a country as small, as
wealthy and as densely populated Great Britain
1t should be possible and of immense benefit Amer
leans VIII be surprised also to learn that Great Bri-
tain claims to be the most densey vehicled" coun-
Try IN the world. Most of US have become accus=
toned TO thinking that this distinction for what it
may be worth, belonged to the United States.
inns country has more automobiles by far than
any otner nation. But it is to be borne in mind
that the United States, with something like 26,-
100000 motor vehicles, has an area of three mil
non square miles, whereas England, with l 600, 900
motor Vehicles, or thereabouts, is smaller than

the bird has placed high among
the leaders.

in the name of the United States

A representative Of the mu-
nicipal government sought out
President CLARK Griffith this
morning and sounded him out
on the proposition of pulling his
freight from Orlando, to return
to the scenes Of the Griff'S first
triumphs.
It was at Plant Field, just
across the river from the hoStelry
where the Griffs are established
today that the boys trained to
win their first pennant and
world series in 1924. They re-
turned in 1925 and won the
American League pennant.
It was on Plant Field, too, that
Babe Ruth made what is still to
be his greatest home run. Pitch
ing for the Boston Red Sox
against the New York Giants,
the great Bambino Socked a ball
SIC feet out Of the field, over
the race track and down an alley.
It was this home run that really
made Ruth national news, for
the New York baseball writers
raved and rallied over his super
human smash.
Griff Eyes st. Pete
However complimentary the at
tention of Tampa may be, it is
not likely that Griff will accept.
If he leaves Orlando, 1t will be to
60 to st. Petersburg. Griff has
always wanted to train in ST..
Petersburg, but the Yankees and
Braves have held the place be-
tween them. Now, 1t is under
stood, Boston may leave for an
other base.
Clark Griffith is marking time
today, waiting for an answer from
Joseph Vincent Mccarthy on the
deal that will make Arndt JorgenS
of the New York Yankees mem
ber of the Griffs. Griff spent sew
eral hours with Mccarthy in the
Suwanee Hotel in st. Petersburg,
just over the Candy Bridge, and
left with Mccarthy agreeing to
