NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
EARL BRowDER MEETING POSTPONED

| Earl Browder recent Communist candidate for
president, is to be invited to the University OF
North Carolina entertained and allowed to address
several groups of students but he will not appear
until after appropriations have been made and the
| legislature has adjourned.
A meeting was recently held, at Chapel Hill, to
make plans for entertaining and honoring Earle
| Browder and we have been informed that the de-
cision to postpone the Browder appearance fol-
lowed an argument by Dean d. d. Carroll OF the
School of Business against bringing Browder to
Chapel Hill until after the legislature adjourned
We are also informed that Dean Carroll did not
oppose inviting Browder but said that his appear
ance, prior to appropriations being made, might
have an adverse influence upon the effort to secure
large appropriations.
d. D. Carroll is Dean of the School of Business
but he always seems to be present at meetings
sponsored by the radical group at the university
and it is our opinion that he is, at least, IN SYM
pathy with their activities and obJectives'
Earl Browder is the leader of the group OF peo-
ple who advocate the overthrow of our government
bv violence He represents the social order, no"
twisting in Russia, under which no freedom OF
speech or freedom of action Is permitted and yet
he will be brought to the University of North Caro-
lima under the cover of claim of freedom OF
speech.
The man who advocates form of government
under which no freedom of speech would be per-
mitted. will have his path cleared and be given an
opportunty to make his arguments under claim
of freedom of speech.
MANY will recall that during the recent election
Earl Browder was twice driven out Of Terre Haute,
Indiana. very largely through the protests OF or
canized labor against allowing him to appear ana
advocate the overthrow of our government
The fact that Browder represents such move
ment places him in high favor with the radical
proup at the University of North Carolina, but act
ing under the advice of Dean Carroll, he is to be
kept under cover until the appropriations are made
and the legislature has adjourned. They wish TO
further the cause of communism but are afraid
that disclosing their purpose at this time might
preyent the increases in salary which they hope to
secure as the result of increased appropriations by
the legislature.
The negro vice presidential candidate, Jas. W.
Ford, who ran on the same ticket with Earl Brow
der, has already had dinner given in his honor
at Durham n. c., and we have the idea that Pro-
lessor Ericsson, who attended that dinner express
ed to Ford the hope that he might, some day, be
permitted to entertain him at Chapel Hill.-TeXtile

SOUTH CAROLINA LIQUOR

North Cardinals next session of the General AS
sembly will give consideration to the eyer-present
problem of handling liquor and may authorize the
establishment of stores in this state. Before that
is DONE. however, a study should be made of the
experience of other states. .,...,.t
Solicitor w. Gst Finley of the Sixth South Caro-
lima district, addressing the Business Mems League
of Rock HILL said, 1--WE have as much or more IL

ANOTHER LIQUOR PROBLEM

The action of Peachland citizens few days ago
in asking the representative from Arson county TO
have special law enacted in the next Legislature
prohibiting the sale of beer and wine within two
miles of Peachland is in keeping with the manner
in which prohibition was brought about years ago.
One of the first pieces of legislation along this
nie in Union county was in 1889 when the late
Jas A. Marsh was in the North Carolina legislature
and citizens of this community prevailed upon nm
to enact law prohibiting the sale OF strong drink
within two miles of Beaver DAM Baptist church
In fact, that's the way the prohibition idea got
its start. Rural communities in which churches
were located began the agitation. thus pushing the
LIQUOR and beer dealers toward the towns Finally
conditions became so intolerable around the towns
that they too began asking for protection by law
and the movement spread, local communities and
towns and cities here and there voting it out, until
finally drive was put on for statewide prohibi-
ton, which went into effect along about 1907 or
1908, with the so-called "quart" law, each citizen
| being allowed the privilege of ordering quart a
month for medical purposes" only. .-
Then came national prohibition about 1917 and
| it was reasonably successful for period but an
honest effort to enforce the law was never made.
Conditions under national prohibition became worse
and worse, because of lack of public sentiment un-
til finally its repeal about three years ago.
Now, We are up against another liquor pfooiem'
How best to handle it nobody seems to Know lnere
is no doubt that national prohibition Is the 'oea'
way, provided public sentiment supports the ldea
and the law Neither seems to be strong enough at
present to make it a success. What next! we
| NAV have to start all over again by following IN
the steps of those Peachand citizens who ask for
i n,otect;on within a two-mile limit.
If reports are true, there are places in Union
county just about on a par with the ones which
| the Peachland citizens complain and it is only a
matter of time until similar tragedy to that in
Arson on Thanksgiving day is going to be enacted
here in Union county, unless something is done
about it-Marshville Home.

Word comes at last that the one

Those who still can get in under
the wire should prepare their self
addressed envelopes, leaving suffi-
cient room in the upper right cor
ner for application of three
stamps, each the size Of the pres
ent special delivery. There should
be one set of covers for the one
cent Army stamp and another set
for the one-cent Navy stamp, and
since postage is 3 cents, there
must be at least three Of these
stamps on each envelope. Provi-
sion for block of four would be
advisable.
Send not more than 10 Of each
kind. with money order covering
exact amount of postage. to. the
Postmaster, Washington, D. c. Do
this today, and you may still get

The investigation, although it
has unearthcd some sensational
evidence. has been moving along
for months on a shoeString appro-
priation of $4,000. This fact APP

employers and various detective

OUCH tactics have resulted in a
program of constant stalling

agencies have said that lives OF
their operatives as well as of their
businesses depended on names OF
the agents being kept secret; for
the most part they have refused
to produce any papers tending to
identify operatives.
