GOOD OLD CORDELL

Secretarr Hull declared yesterday at the opening
of the World war conference that the hope OF
maintaining international peace rests with real
lists" who know 'that the fabric of peace has been
worn perilously thin"
He might have described them equally we'll as
people with the long view, people who are capable
of seeing what insensate nationalism protends The
romantic and rhetorical see in the current saoer-

and, perhaps, a small immediate profit. These are

know that all this struttng and believing is>lkely
to release not merely emotionalism but all the
furies of hell; and if that happens there Will De
neither glory nor profit left for anybody
1t is the chief claim to fame of Cordell Hull that
in the office of secretary of state ne has SHOWN
himself consistently far-sighted 1t has been ms
nolicv throughout to choke off chauvinism when
ever possible to soften the arrogance OF natonai-
ism. to recognize and emphasize the interdepen-
dence of nations in the advancement of clvllzaton
When the future historian looks back on TINS
oriod of insane conceit the blind selfcomplacence
among the nations he will discover in Hull at least
one statesman who kept his head who was not ae-
ceyed by all the sound and fury. Hull has strlVen
to base the foreign policy of this country not on
the booming of the bass drum and the shrilling OF
the wry-necked ffe but on facts and sober sense
In time like this it is fine achievement.-Baltl-

That beautiful season

Flashed like the pane-tree the Persian adorned

IN GEORGIA

It NAV or may not be entirely coincidence that
Georgia a state where the politicians have not hes-
tated to rouse the quescent dogs of racial hatred
for their own diversion, has accounted for four out
of the country's five lynchings so far in 1886 Inc
latest has taken place at Dalton and it was no dit
ferent from the usual in that the officers OF the
law either did not care or did not have the nerve
to try to prevent it.
1t would be far-fetched, we think, to trace these
forays of the mob directly to Lord Gene Talmadge
and his Goober Democrats 1t is true that they
circulated pictures of Mrs Roosevelt in the escort
of two uniformed negroes, thus incensing white
supremists, and that they accused the New Deal
of insulting the South by trying to capture the
negro vote in the North where in some states 1t IS
a decisive factor But Georgia has had lynchlngs
long before the blatant Talmadge came to spend
his time and his breath upon the public stage. IN
all likelihood, the genus Cracker is to blame ana
not the Crackers congenial poiticoes.
But this also is in all Gkelihood-that Georgia
has not tried especially to prevent ynchngs. States
where governors and other officials have made
determined effort to forestall mob violence OF all
kinds and to prosecute those suspected of 1t have
a clean slate to show for their pains 1t comes
about in Georgia. we suspect that the adminlstra-
ton does not mind smudges so greatly.-Charlotte

LET MAXWELL ALONE

There seems to be something of a gold rush on
the part of the recently politically helpful for the
place at the State of North Cardinals feed trough
recently vacated by DR.. M. C. s. Noble Jr.
+ Among those mentioned as willing to accept the
$3.50 salary which the State of North Carolina
paid to DR.. Noble are Cutler Moore of our own
neghboring Robson, Charlie Powell, who has not
much niger to serve the governors secretary,
had even Dr. Ralph Mcdonald self-confessed pre-
mier tax expert.
Our observation is this:
If Revenue Commissioner A. J. Maxwell is SO in
capable of running his own department, that he
has to have a $3.50 assistant, why not fire Max
well and make Moore, Powell, Mcdonald or who
have-you revenue commissioner?
But if Mr. Maxwell is capable drumming his own
department (and we think he is infinitely more
capable of it than any other man in North Caro-
Ina) then he doesn't, need any such high-priced
assistant and it is taking money away from the
taxpayers of North Carolina to force such one
ON him.-Fayetteyille Observer.

ment was not long in discovering
that this grass had dangerous
probabilities. 1t grew so well, and
spread so rapidly that it overran
everything in sight. 1t spread by
extending it's roots under the sur
face of the ground. 1t made a sod
sometimes eighteen inches thick,
and was exceedingly hard to kill.
Once this grass got into land that
had to be cultivated, such as or
chards, gardens and fields, it was
just too bad.
After the Department Of Agri-
culture got through experiment.
ing with this grass, it had to sink
metal strips eighteen inches wide
into the ground around the grass
in order to stop it from spreading,
and then had to fight the grass
vigorously for two years in order
to exterminate it.
Persons who have wonderful
new schemes for government and
human betterment should remem-
Der the story of the false chez
grass and go slow.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN THE CAMPAIGN

The leaders feel Tammany
never got anything from Cleve-
land, Wilson, or Roosevelt. The
Tiger "knifed" Cleveland in 1888
and Wilson in 1916, both men be-
ing up for reelection.
"Knifng" by Tammany, one is
told by old-time political observ-
ers in New York, means that Tam
many simply lies down and fails
to get out the vote.
There are some predictions of a
"knifng" for Roosevelt.
TAMMANY functions in the same
u old way. 1t remains powerful
in a patronage sense, thanks to its
control of key positions, despite
LaGuardia'S presence in City Hall.
Roughly speaking, the Tammany
idea is to get contributions from
CORPORATIONS or individuals for
whom leaders arrange certain IA
vors or jobs and to pass on char
ity money or minor favors to I'M
derprivileged voters, not forget
ting occasional free ice cream for
the kids.
In each election district is cap
tain responsible to the district
leader.
He is supposed to know every
family in his territory.
If he gets out full vote, he
gets ahead in Tammany. Any time
Tammany is out for big vote, he
and a crew of sub-lieutenants
watch the polls, check on those
who haven't voted, and in the last
two or three hours make a tre-
mendous effort to bring all lag
CARDS to the voting booths.
Many big men have been bene-
i ficiaries of this system-Roosevelt
Senator Wagner, Governor Leh-
man, and Al Smith among them

NEW YORK-Just what Tam
IN many Hall will do to or for the
Roosevelt ticket this November is
a matter concerning which one
finds considerable argument in
New York City. But on one point
practically everyone agrees: Tam
many badly needs a courageous,
forceful leader and is impover-
ished in leadership material.
The organization is badly split
right now. To some extent the
split is one between supporters
and enemies Of Roosevelt and
Farley. .r
Jimmy, Dooling, present chief,
was put into that job by the Far
ley forces after John Curry, who
held the Tammany delegation for
Al Smith against Roosevelt at the
Chicago convention, had been un-
seated. Mr.. Dooling, however,
soon turned around and embraced
Al Smith. .....
It has never appeared that
Dooling was a very strong leader,
which doubtless was one reason
Farley and Roosevelt put him
over. .-.
That's another thing many or
most Tammany leaders hold
against the administration. They
think, Farley is intent on making
Tanmany merely part of his
national machine, driving out
leaders who won't take his orders.
THE Roosevelt administration ran
= municipal ticket of its own
against the Tammany candidate
and LaGuardia in the last mayor
atty election, which is another
item in the feud.

Il isn't likely that very many judges VIII
follow the advice of Judge Michael Angelo
Musmanno of Pittsburgh and do orlel

Judge Musmanno got the quaint notion

mt through the hopper recently at Penn
svIvapia's Western Penitentiary. 81
He came out, after three days as con-

stop to think about it. He comes into each
case cold so to speak; himself the very IN
carnation of responsibility and upright
ness. He is forever being confronted WIN
people who have very little of either quail
ity, and is compelled to say what should
be done with them.
On the surface, his job may be simple
enough-to put these people where they
won't do any more harm. A sate-cracker
behind the bars is not going to do any more
safe-cracking until his sentence expires;
for the time being, at least, society IS pro-
tected and the problem is solved.
But it isn't quite so simple as that. Inc
safe-cracker will come out again, some
day-and then what? Will prison have
persuaded him to give up his chosen call
ING, or will it have made him more con-
frmed and talented safe-cracker than he
was before?
I. Will the net result of his sentence be
decline or an increase in society's danger
from the safe-cracker as a class?
Judge Musmanno seems to think that the
man on the bench ought to have some OF
the answers to those questions before ne
pronounces sentence. If he could only get
into the other mans skin briefly; If ne
could gain some sort of understanding OF
the tormented and twisted complex OF emo
lions and ideas that go to make up the
criminal-wouldn't he, then, be able to
serve society better as Judge?
Administration of justice isn't the SIM
ple,g open-and-shut thing We like to think
it is. Making the punishment fit. the crime
is an old and very inefficient way OF pro-
tecting society against lawlessness.
Making it fit the criminal instead, rec
ognizing that the sorry stream which flows
through. our courts is made up OF lndl-
vidual human beings, each with his, own
dark problems, his. own reasons for doing
the things he does-might not this be far
more efficient way of defending ourselves?
