FOOLS GOLD

The Industrial News Review says aplenty when
it submits few remarks about FOOLS Gold by OBJ
serving that the great majority of politicians who
run for office solicit votes on tax reduction and
economy plank in their platform. Local chambers
of commerce whoop it up for tax economy, keep
government out of business, and such.
Leading citizens in local communities demand
retrenchment in public expense, and balanced
budgets ..
But how many of these proponents of tax reduc-
ton and public economy refuse to grab for chunk
of free pork in the shape of public funds, mort
cages on every man, woman and child in the ma
ton, when offered to local community in the form
of a more elaborate past office than needed, a
more expensive school house than justified, or an
unnecessary municipal power plant to duplicate
existing facilities?
1t is amusing to see the political fag-wavers grab
for a handful of fools gold' because they think
it comes out of their neighbors pot instead of their
own.-Charlotte Observer.

Young men, The outstanding exception is DIR. Hugo
Eckener, who made his flight around the earth in
Zeppelin after he had passed his three score years
and who yesterday landed the German dirlg1ole

than the record established when this the largest
of all aircraft, made its maiden flight from Ger
many to the United States.
1t was said after DR.. Eckener returned from his
first trip in the Hindenburg that the Nazi govern
ment was displeased with the commander and
would humiate him. Inasmuch as he was not
aboard when the second trip was made it looked
as though the rumor might be true. On the trip
completed yesterday DR.. Eckener was in command
of the big ship. Americans will assume that Chan
cellor Hitler may have been misrepresented in the

THE TWO-THIRDS RULE

The rule recurring that candidate for the

;rauence in national conventions comparable to

Marty Once abolished as it now seems slated TO-
bs y will rot be restored The effect, we think, is
1;LaIv TO be the minimizing in the future of the
mower of the southern states in the shaping of the
partys destinies.
The test will come later when the party is called
upon at some future time to rally behind ne"
leadership With the two-thirds rule abolished 1T Is
our guess that states like Pennsylvania, New 1orh'
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan will ENJOY a
great advantage in naming the leader Ihey VIII
eniov this advantage because the Democratic lead
ers of such states will probably find it relatively
easy to put their heads together and to find COM
mon denominator of their own wishes and inter-
ests
We are far from certain that the South will al
,,a,.s relish the decisions thus reached. But it may
we'll find it difficult to assert its own desires. The
South covers a lot of territory, its Democratic
party organizations are mere shells as compared
with the organizations in states like New York and
PENNSYLVANIA But those southern states in which
the party organization is weakest are the states
which in the past have been most firmly bound to
tbe Democratic party. The two-thirds rule has OPP
Grated generally to give them decided voice in
choosing the party's candidates. Our guess is that
Il will not be many years before they will have to
reconcile themselves to shouting and voting for
candidates for whom their enthusiasm will not be
as keen as might be desired.
One of these days North Carolinians may yet
wonder why this states delegation to the Demo-
cratic national convention now sitting in Philadei-
ohia decided to vote unanimously for the abroga-
lion of the two-thirds rule by which Democratic
presidential nominations have been governed for a

IN the early history of America,
France ruled a vast empire that
stretched over great part of
what is now the United States and
Canada. In the 18th century, that
empire began to dwindle, and in
1903, the last expanse of French
territory passed to the United
States. Today, two little islands
ofr the coast of Nova Scotia are
all that remain French in North
America. They are st. Pierre and
Njquelon, covering only 81 square
niles in area, and used as a base
or French Atlantic fishing.
Prohibition, beginning in 1918,
brought activity and prosperity to
ihese rugged islands, when rum
runners found them a convenient
ot.se for the shipment of Canadian
liquor to waters off the United
States coast But prohibition is
aadcd, and the islanders have re-
ySlhned the lonely, monotonous ex-
Silence that these little islands
force upon them.
ST. Pierre and Miquelon have
had their own stamps since 1885.

pressly based on SuppoSition that
the state Of New York had not
asked the court to reconsider the
constitutional questions decided in
the Adkins case and that the va
lidity of the principles upon which
that decision rested were not chal-
lenged.
The Adkins case involved a fed
eral minimum wage law for the
District Of Columbia, which the
court killed in 1923 by a vote of
5 to 3.
The majority concluded that the
New York law could not be dis
tinguished from the invalidated
District of Columbia law. But it
didn't decide that by looking at
the New York law and comparing
it with the D. c. statute. 1t merely
said that the New York Court of
Appeals had so construed it as to
make it indistinguishable from the
previous law.
A UTHORS Of the New York law
had tried to frame it to meet
the objections raised in the Adkins
case. New York state asked
whether the objections had been
met. successfully and whether the
court, notably in the Nebbia New
York milk control law case, hadn't
since 1923 modified its position, on
the due process clause of the
Fourteenth Amendment.
These issues the majority ducked

Persons who would make a

The most that ardent lovers Of

make conditions here fair for all
persons: And let consequences
prevail.
1t is not unfair for a man to
hungry who won't work. 1t is not
unfair for a person who is indlf-
ferent or insubordinate to be out
of a job much of the time. 1t is
not unfair for a man who molests
the properties and the persons of
his fellows to have the law crack
down on him. 1t is not unfair for
the man who is incapable to have
to spend his life doing unskilled
labor. 1t is not unfair for the man
who would abuse power to be held
down to a level where he has no
power. 1t is not unfair for a ma
ton which wastes its rich resourc-

While the average citizen is compelled

This is the evdencing of great wisdom
on the part of the average citizen. These
people, as individuals and as groups, will
bear all the watching the average good

spite of all his efforts, they may gain their
