Business of hailing in the news armament inc
appearance of brighter star than we recall nav
ing glimpsed recently. John Z. Shannon, East Ar
kansas share cropper, IS hailed champion IN ms
class by reason of having made net proht Oh
S8O6 from years operations
Shannon, born into the share-cropping class, IS
ycrging upon so. He married at 10 and since that
time has devoSed himself to clothing, sheitefihg'
feeding and educating six children. All s'N arc
now either through college or in the process o,
completing high school. He comedies he mas nad
il rather tough in spots, the family wearing Shr's
and underwear made of divers sorts OF SACKS ana
no confesscs to having worked from sunup to sum
down and occasionally beyond but he isn't kick
ing.
II is a good thing for John that he came along
before the new deal, at time 'when nobody could
resettlc him. Were he just getting started now,
he would probably have couple of mortgages and
no children and would be told that he ought not to
have any.
Congratulations, Champ Shannon! You're con-

LIQUOR CONTROL

The Observer has been convinced all along that
when this question of liquor control in North Car
DINA to be officially and formally faced by the
people of the state it ought to be determined on
the basis of ALL THE PEOPLE DECIDING THE
ISSUE FOR ALL OF THEIR STATE.
We have not been swerved from that judgment
even by the majority report of the governors COM
mission, although cOnfessing to eminenty high re-
gard for the views of those gehtenien, ,their.pa-
triotism their sincerity and their distinguished an
telligence. 80
In this particular part of North Carolina which
has tried to live under every conceivable plan of
liquor control during the past 40 years, experience
will vindicate the judgment that the county option
recourse is unsatisfactory to all concerned.
And that is our conviction, even when no other
phase of the problem is considered except that of
practical opertion.
The revenue-gathering factor, has been pre-.
viousy pointed out, only adds to the preferable.
ness of using the state instead Of the individual
county as the final basis of decision and action

all such had obeyed the prohibition law
and exerted their influence to have 1t en-
forced, and had gone to the ballot box, to
vote out of office all enforcement officers

enforce the law, the booze business, legal

past in North Carolina.
Only few years back North Carolina
was in fair way to become State in

attic campaign to flout and break abwn the
law, to open up the State ina big way'to
the legal and the illegal booze business, to
make drunkards of as many as possible of
the young men and women of North Caro-
lima, not to mention turning to drink again
many old soaks who had reformed, has
brought about conditions in the State
which the "wets" claim are intolerable. So
intoerable, in fact, that the only solution
is more liquor, more drinking, putting the
so-called legalized booze business in poll
tics, with all the citizens of North Carolina
in partnership with the brewers and distil-
lers.

"WETS" WILL FIGHT

: The next day after the report of the
State liquor commission was made public
che "wet" newspapers of North Carolina
Jumped into the fray in way that indi-
Gates a terrific fight will be made to re-
Establish the legalized booze business in
every nook and corner of the State where
II can by any chance be planted. Some Of
shcScnewspapers have not missed an issue,
since the report came out, with articles
opposing a Statewide vote on the liquor
question, and advocating the establish
pent of county-owned liquor stores.
: When the "wet" press becomes so exer-
eiSed over the matter it is certainty
that the "wet" public standing behind the
newspapers is in highly excited mental
condition. The fact is that those citizens
who desire to spread the so-called legal
led booze business over as much territory
as possible in North Carolina evidently be-
heve that it is a case of now or never. y
They are striking while they think the iron
rs hot. 'r
Of course all Of this is the privilege OF
%wets" and 'wet" newspapers. They al
have the legal right to believe anything
they please and pursue any course they
please in dealing with the matter The
TimesNews does not mention the matter
IN any effort to deny the "wets" free ex
preston of their views, but merely to cal
the attention of the public to what is goint
on in North Carolina. That is one OF tn
first obligations of any honest newspaper

TO keep the dominionS loyal TO the

Baldwin, one hears places

Many celebrities agreed that a
combination of the two factors
had caused Edward to be forced
out.
ONE diplomat, illustrating Ed
~ wards unconventional indie
pendence from tradition, told
story dating back to his visit to
the Argentine as prince of Wales.
A polo game was arranged, be-
cause Edward liked polo.
The Argentine team was COM
posed Of IriShmen, but English
men and Argentines suddenly re-
membered that the captain, one
Nelson, was a Sim Feiner, rabid
for Irish independence. They sug-
geSted to Nelson that he take a
trip into the interior, lest the
prince be embarrassed.
Nelson refused, SO when the
prince came they felt they had to
tell him about this unfortunate
state of affairs.

were Irish, I'd be a Sim Feiner

WJASHINGTON-The group in
f" Washington which is interest
ed first and foremost in keeping
America out Of war is quietly
celebrating the outcome of the
King Edward-MrS. Simpson-Em-
pire affair.
ThoSe-both in the administra-
ton and CongrcSS--who insist that
neutrality is worth whatever it
costs, were almost in a panic over
the possibility that Edward VIII
might stick his chin out, demand
that Mrs. Simpson become his
queen, and get away with it.
Nothing would be more likely to
get the United States into war on
the side of the British some day, it
was figured, than the presence Of
an American woman on the Brit
ish throne.
Without that, everyone in
Washington agrees, it will be hard
enough for this country to stay
out of the next big European war.
The presence of a strong anglo
phile American ambassador in
London in the first years Of the
last war is commonly believed to
have helped bring us into the
conflict.
Those who rate highly the gifts
of the American people for senti-
mental hysteria are sure the
. existence Of Queen Wallis plus
The British gift for propaganda
would surely have turned the
