NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SENSATIONAL VICTORY
the anniversary.

The nomination of Thad Eure for Secretary OF
State in the recent second primary represents the
most sensational overturn of votes ever occurring
in a referendum in North Carolina.
Mr.. Eure trailed Secretary Stacey Wade by more
than 100000 in the first primary and defeated him
nj the second by virtually the same margin, repre-
senting a switch of $4,000 votes.
The general Interpretation placed upon this ex-
traordnary turn in the psychology of the voters Is
that word got out about Secretary Wade's stand
when the governor was being pressed by 5000 Eas-
tern Carolina farmers some weeks ago to call
special session of the legislature for tobacco enact
ments. .......l ...- ..
At that time, when Mr.. Wade, in his official ca
pacity as a member of the council of state, was
called to the platform before that bowling audience
he made the statement that if he were governor
he would call the general assembly together IN 20
minutes. .... ....
That may sound if it were trifling incident,
but the controlling administration has since felt
that Mr. Wade was not playing faithful to the
governor who at the same time and before the
same irritated audience stood his ground and would
not be moved into making this call. .'..- 3.
Granting, however, that this may have played as
q factor in this sensational vote given Mr.. Eure,
it is not sufficient by any means to account even
largely in our judgment for the latters nomination
Eure's own personal popularity plus the night
andday effort he along with his friends, made our
ing the second primary campaign and the help ne
could mustef after the first contest from advocates
whose hands were then tied by local county hghts'
must be given the greater measure of credit for
his phenomenal success.-Charlotte Observer. .. .,

Deposits in the State Trust Company
passed the million dollar mark on the June
1 statement for the first time since the
bank was organized, it was announced
yesterday, and only once has this figure
been reached at any other time. Due to
seasonal business, deposits reached mil
lion dollars in August of last year, or about
100000 more than the June statement OF
that year showed. An increase Of more
than 100000 on June Z, this year, over
the figure of June l, last year, is not to be
taken lightly even by those who frequent
ly fail to read the signs of better times in
the financial world. While the payment OF
the soldier bonus helped to bring about
this gain, there are plenty of indications
that it was not the only factor that contrib
uted to the upswing.

ADVERTISING REDUCED PRICES

Before it was advertised, the automobile cost the
buyer about $4,000. Since it has been advertised
for a number of years, the buyer gets ten times
better automobiles for one-fourth the money.
The same thing is true of the radio, electric re-
frigerator, electric washing machine and electro
stove. The longer and louder they are advertised
in the newspapers the better and cheaper the pro-
duct becomes.
Over in Russia the government forbade the man.
ufacturers to brand and advertise their products
They found that under such restrictions the manu-
facturers turned out tractors that would not tract
and grinders that would not grind. Now the dc
tator demands that all such products must be ad-
vertised so that people will know what they are for
and how to use them.
This proves that educating the public, adverts-
ing conveniences acts in all directions for the bene
fit of the public, and at the same time throws all
responsibility for the value and usefulness of the
oprduct on the manufacturer,
Advertising, properly used, pays for itself sew
eral times over-Cleveland Star.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
by RODNEY BUTCHER

nandIed only by state legislation
and a constitutional amendment,
this platform declares definitely
that federal as we'll as state legis-
lation is necessary. 1t promises,
if necessary, to seek an amend
ment allowing both Congress and
the states to legiSlate within their
respective jurisdictions.
The plank labeled Consumer"
is perhaps more astonishing than
any other. 1t, says: owe will act
to secure the consumer fair value,
honest sales, and a decreased
spread between the price he pays
and the price the producer re-
EeiveS."
If it meant what it said, this
would be a grim threat against
a wasteful distribution system,
against the profteering middle
men," against meat packers, md
lerS, steel manufacturers, the alu-
minum trust" and other monop-
oliStic or alleged monopolistic
or price-fxing corporations.
At any rate, the plank is an
affirmation of the fight made
against great odds by official con-
sumner agencies in the AAA, MIRA,
and elsewhere against exploitation
of the houssholders and house
wives who pay the bills.
The housing plank, undoubtedly
forced through by Senator Bob
Wagner, is remarkable for its
commitment to provide decent
homes for those unable to afford
decent quarters as priced by pri-
vate industry.
This means genuine low cost
housing program if Roosevelt is re-
elected and can sell it to Congress,
although it would sound better if
had got on the job early =
enough to force Wagner's housing
bill through Congress in the last
session, instead of coming to its
support only in the final hours,
when it was lost, despite the de-
layed administrator effort.

Editor The Times-News:
Dear Sir: e,
Some few weeks ago my hus-
band introduced me to Mayor
Edwards. l told the mayor that
for two years, while walking along
Fifth avenue l had noticed IN
front of a house, a deep and
rather ugly hole in the pavement.
| explained that since / knew pre-
cisely where the hole was, could
walk around it, but that perhaps
some other person particularly a
lady wearing high heels, might
not be so fortunate, especially IN
the dark.
I am aware that a mayor has
many duties and although my
complaint might have seemed a
trivial thing, Mayor Edwards did
have the nasty little hole filled in
with concrete the following day,
adm in the vernacular of the day,
call that "service," and l want
to publicly thank him.
Verify truly yours,

A BETTER LYNcHING RECORD

1t is encouraging to note that ynchings are def
nitey on the decline. Only four lynchings were re-
ported for the first six months in this year as COM
pared with like number in the first six months
of 1885, but two less lynchings than in 1884.
There is growing tendency to let justice take

THE KITCHEN
Ry WICKES WAMBOLDT

The most important room in the
house is probably the kitchen. For
in the kitchen is prepared the food
on which the health of the family
largely depends. A kitchen is in
reality laboratory. 1t should be
regarded as one and fitted up with
every facility obtainable for the
healthful and tasteful preparation
of the foods which build human
bodies and keep them at their
best. Some women disdain the
kitchen and do not hesitate to say
so. They look on the work of the
kitchen as mental and far beneath
them.

DHILADELPHIA.-The Demo
cratic platform of 1886 has
the imprint of Roosevelt all over
it.
It leaves out much and it pus-
syfoots painfully here and there,
It omits all mention, as it proceeds
with its proud boasts, of many
mistakes, wastes, and abortive
experiments.
1t tends to make more definite
the cleavage between the New
Deal Democratic party as lib
eral party and the Republican
party as conservative party
Or, as its own George Moses in
sists, a Tory" party.
Roosevelt had a large advantage
in debating its terms, since he was
able to study the Republican plat
form and the personal amend
ments of Governor Landon, which
between them compromised with
much of the New Deal.
Outstanding as it is, declaring
war as it does against special
privilege, and seeking as it does

Of government has been removed

Of the peoples representatives in

SHORTSICHTED COOKS
If cooks could but realize it, a
sincere effort on their part to
keep down expenses and to safe
guard the welfare Of the families
where they work would mean that
more housewives would employ
cooks and that housewives who
now employ them could afford to
pay them more. A cook who runs
up the food bills and breaks and
damages things entrusted to her
care, may not realize it, but the
unnecessary expense she creates
comes in a measure out of her
own pocket, for it prevents her
mistress from paying her as much
as she might otherwise pay.
BETTER KITCHENS
The ingenuity of the best ex-
perts is nowadays being turned
toward equipping kitchens for the
highest possible service with little
or no drudgery. Gas and electric
refrigerators. gas and electric
ranges, efficiency kitchen cabi-
nets, enameled sinks with drain
boards, electric dish washers, limo

DRoUTH CANNOT DAUNT AMERICA:

The men and the women Of the north
west have always had to fight for what
they held. First of all, there was the Gil
mate itself-hot summers and cold WIN
ters with wide plains exposed to the full
fury of great winds. 1t never was land
for weaklings. To till that fertile soil one
had to be tough.
Then there were Indians, in the early
DAYS, ready with gun and knife and hre-
brand to hold the land for their own. There
were periodic drouths, plaques OF grass
hoppers, eras of tight money" when the
very richness of his acres seemed to the
farmer to be an added curse, times when
the railroads and the eastern bankers
seemed to hold all the land in an unbreak-
able grip.
But somehow none of this ever brought
disbursement or surrender. The people
dug in and stayed on, following the dream
that has always lowered over our western
horizon-the dream of land which hu-
man effort could make as free and happy
as it's borders were wide, where people
could work out new way of life that
would bring them appreciably nearer to
the millennium that man has always fore
known.
And it is just this trait which is the

not been decreed by some memorable law
of fate. that that part of the country must
go back to prairie grass and the buffalo.
The people are not helpless. They can
win their fight if they will.
Cooperative human effort, for instance,
can restore the water tables and rob the
recurring dry spells of the worst of their
terrors. Erosion by wind and flood can be
checked. $50.
Such simple modern devices as good
roads, and electrical appliances can turn
the northwestern farmers isolation into a
blessing, instead of curse.

of Washington, and the region now strick

A NNAPOLIS, Md, August 22-The
= schooner yacht America, moored
at the Naval Academy. was dressed
with flags today in commemoration Of
its victory in the royal yacht squadron
regatta at Cowes, England, IS years

BY winning a race around the Isle

1851. won the Americas Cup. the in
ternational trophy which England and
Canada have since futilely endeavored
to regain.
Rear Admiral David Foote Sellers,
U. s. NJ. superintendent Of the acad-

Europe, issued an order directing that
the America be dressed" annually In
celebration Of the victory. He directed
that this be made . custom at the
academy.
Visitors to the academy today saw
the historic vessel, recently repainted
in its original colors, brave with vari-
colored Navy signal nags. These new
