Raleigh. Jan. 25.-The outcome OF
the present Democratic campaign for
governor depends upon the extent OF
the swing in public opinion towards
extreme liberalism i'll North Carolina,
according to many of the editors and
publishers who attended the mid-wir-
ter meeting of the North Carolina
Press Association in Chapel Hill and
Durham this week. Most of these
newspaper publishers and editors
agreed that there seems to be de-
finite trend towards greater LIBERAL
ism in North Carolina now than in
the past and that there are evidence
of considerable dissatisfaction with
the old conservatism which has char
acterized the leadership Of the Demo
cratic party up to the present time.
But no one has yet been able to
estimate the degree Of the swing i'll
public opinion over the liberal side
and probably will not be able to &C
curately. it was agreed. The State
will have to wait until after the pri-
mary to learn just how much the
views and the position of the voters
have changed during the last four
years.
If public opinion swings all the way
over to the ultra-liberal side, as 1t
already has done in Louisiana, Geor-
gia, Kentucky and even South Caro-
lima, the chances are that DIR. Ralph

DEFLAT|ON TREND

by LESLIE EICHEL

New York, Jan. 25.-There are fears
that the recent Supreme Court de-

the feeling in the business world. Ac-

In this instance. however, the SUI
preme Court is likely to receive the
blame. It anticipated the decline, per-

Prices are not falling to any great
degree But business dependent on
the farmer are hesitating.
There is an uncertainty. In fact,
there is growing nervousness over the
Supreme Court. One perceives this on
decision days.
INITIATION FEARED
Monetary initiation is feared.
The people themselves, and the poll

The hard road of social and econo-
mic readjustment is howled down.
If prices Of commodities fall even
a little the cry will be for further
dollar devaluation, for the issuance of
"more money against the stores of

silver.
But the administration will be
forced by economic necessity to re

permit the credit of government Sc

Peace Portal Stands on
u. S., Canadian Boundary

The Peace Portal, commemorating a
century of peace between the United
States and Canada, stands on the
boundary between the United States
and Canada, where the Pacific high
way passes from British Columbia into
! Washington. This is near Blaine,
! Wash, at a point where ocean, rail-
way and highway meet, with an extern
sive view of the islands Of Puget
Sound.
The portal was built in 1921 by the
Pacific Highway association. 1t is Of
Doric style. Above the doorways are
the inscriptions: "Open for 100 years.
and MAY these doors never be
closed;" at the side appear others:
! children of a common mother" and
Brethren dwelling together in peace"
1t stands in circular area 125 feet
/ in diameter within a five-acre park,
half of which is in the United States
and half in Canada. The structure
bears two flag poles, from one of which
flies the Canadian flag, and from the
other the American. On the American
side there is displayed piece of wood
said to have been part of the Mayfow-
er, while ON the Canadian side there
is similar fragment of the Beaver, a
famous old Hudson's Bay company ves-
sci which was the first steamboat on
the Pacific.
The Peace Portal project was
launched in June, 1915, at joint flag
raising ceremony at Blaine on the site
Of the present arch. Because Of the
war, however, work was not begun I'M
til 1921. Samuel Hill of Seattle is cred
tied with the original plans. Mr.. Hill,
at the dedication September z, 1921,
pointed out that ut is the first arch
to be erected to celebrate peace. Paris
has its Arc de Triomphe, Berlin has its
Brandenburg gate; but in no other
place is there one to peace"

Mennonites, Amish Sects
Date Back to Year 1925

The Mennonites, Christian sect or.
ganized by Conrad Grebel, Feliz Mantz
George Blaurock and others, in 1925
at Zurich, Switzerland, were also
known as Swiss Brethren. The lead
ing features of the Mennonite bodies
have been baptism on profession of
faith, refusal of oaths, of civic Offices
and Of the support Of the state in war
and a tendency to asceticism. Many
Of these beliefs and practices have
beeen modified.
The Amish separated from the main
body Of Mennonites in Europe on dis
ciplinary questions, and are named
for their leader, Jacob Amman. After
coming to America many of them
affiliated with the main body of Men
nonites, some having merged with Men
MONTE conferences in recent years.
There are two main bodies of Amish
in America, the old order Amish
and the conservative Amish. The old
order Amish use the German Ian
guage in their church services and are
extremely conservative in their dis
cipline. The conservative Amish are
more aggressive than the old order
and use both English and German in
their services. They also have Sun
day schools and take part in other
forms of Christian service.-Indian-

A Smiling Face

A smilel Nothing on earth can
smile, but the face of man. Gems may
flash reflected light, but what is dia-
mond flash compared with an eye-flash
and a mind-fiash? Flowers cannot
smile. This is a charm which even
they cannot claim. Birds cannot
smile; nor can any living things. 1t
is the perogative Of man. It is the
color which love wears, and cheerful
ness, and joy-these three. 1t is the
light in the window of the face by
which the heart signifies to father,
husband or friend. that it is at home
and waiting. Laughter is day, and So
briefly is night, and smile is the twi-
light that hovers gently between both,
and is more bewitching than either.

Horses Play. Too

Flamingos with pink feathers inhabit
its marshes, herds of cattle roam it's
fields, and steer-roping and branding
are part of everyday life. The cow
boys of the region are expert and
their small white horses are very in

the game of their riders as the men
