BALTIMORE, July 16.-Maryland
and West Virginia TODAY offered
$4,000 for the Harpers Ferry Toll
Bridge property, an offer which Gov.
Harry w Nice said would probably be
accepted.
Representatives of the bridge COM
pany said they would have to present

mend acceptance.
The two States would each provide
half the money necessary to buy the
company's franchise.
The offer was decided upon at
meeting attended by Gov. Nice, Gov.
H. G. Kump OF West Virginia, men,
bers Of the Roads Commissions of the
States and representatives Of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and the
bridge company.
Gov Kump said that he was willing
TO pay the money for the franchise
only to relieve the stagnation Of trade
in the area around the bridge. He de-
clined fatty, he said, to consider any
temporary or permanent toll arrange
nent at the Harpers Ferry Bridge.
Both Gov. Kump and Gov. Nice said
that toll charge on the new bridge.
either temporary or permanent. would
make it impossible to secure Federal
funds for its construction.

Judge Andrew Miller dismissed the
actions yesterday after hearing argu-

tative from North Dakota, co-author
of the act and presidential candidate

A provision was made by Judge Mil
Ter at Iemke's request, pointing out
that the court did not pass on the
acts constitutionality and providing
for reinstatement of the cases In th>
event of a Supreme Court decision
that the act was valid.
Lemke told the court the act did
nothing more than was done by

said, the court could give the mort

Check Blown 100
Miles To Shelby
From Gainesville

A check blown from the Hall
county court house in Gainesville,
Ga, during the tornado on the
morning of April 9th, was found
Friday, April 10th, by Sam Bowen
in his field below Sharon, in Cleve-
land county.
There is every evidence that the
check was waited out of the court
house during the tornado, for it
was cancelled voucher drawn in
1926 by the county commissioners
of Hall county for SIP, payable to
DR.. A. H. Stroud. 1t bears all
necessary endorsements and was
perforated by the bank when paid
and returned with the county state
ment at the close of the month.
Mr.. Bowen said it was found in
a field when he went to do some
work. The field had been burned
over about ten days prior to its
finding and would have yeen con-
sumed by the fire had it been there
at that time.
All writing on the check is leg
ible, yet the voucher shows that
it had been wet. 1t still has red
mud on it.
Papers have been reported found
many miles from the Gainesville
disaster, but this voucher found in
the field of Mr.. Bowen travelled a
greater distance than any yet
found. The distance from Gaines
vile to Shelby is approximately
100 miles.
Mr.. Bowen is keeping the vouch-
er as souvenir of the disaster
which took death toll in that
Georgia city of over 100 lives.

tions radio has played great and
increasing part. This year it will
be more of a factor than ever.
There are more receiving sets, and
more broadcasting stations, for one
thing. Also, the modern sets are
better than of 1882. Four years
ago there were about II million sets
in use; now the radio people say
there are double that number. 1t
is certain that more voters will hear
the voices of the candidates and
their spokesmen this year than have
ever been talked to in any pre-
vious campaign.
One definite advantage, from the
public's point of view, OF CAM
paign oratory by radio, IS that the
speaker has to say whatever he has
to say inside of definite time linn
it. Also, it is easier to sit at home
than go to 'srally.'
A disadvantage is that one misses
the crowd enthusiasm, and can't
see the orators funny gestures and
facial expressions. There is an
emotional appeal in old fashioned
oratory that the radio
cannot replace. Perhaps that makes
for more intelligent and less emo
tional decisions by voters.
From the orators point of view,
the radio is disadvantage, also.

G. 0. P. BRAINTRUSTERS

The latest political strategy of
the Republican National Committee
is the organization of the Party's
own brain trust. Exactly what
Chairman Fletcher expects of the
group Of university professors who
have been named as an Advisory
Research Council is not quite clear
in the minds of some.
The professors who have been
named on this commission are:
Saxon of Yale; Bullock of Harvard;
Carver of Harvard; Hobson of
Wisconsin; Tucker of Columbia;
Bradford of Lehigh; and Carpenter
of Buffalo.
In announcing their appointment
Chairman Fletcher said that they
would analyze the New Deal and
find out just what the present Ad-
ministration has done and where its
acts seem to be leading the nation.
Their findings will then be placed
in the hands of the Republican
Party management to form the
basis of campaign ammunition.

To Finish Canvas
Here In Few DAYS

Col. G. F. McAllister, Supervisor
of the Census of Business, today
announced that an effort is being
made to finish the canvas in Sails
bury and environs within the next
few days. He asked that all busi-
ness firms cooperate by furnishing
the necessary census information
as quickly as possible.
1--WE realize that some firms re-
quire more time than Others in as
sembling the information, Mr..
McAllister said, ''but it is impera-
tive that the reports be sent to
Philadelphia without delay SO that
the statistics can be compiled and
issued by July
''The time,iness of such statis-
tics, he added, greatly enhances
their value. More than 5,00o,0o0'
reports must be handled by the Bu-
reau, and delay in any sections de-
lays the statistics for the 8 entire
State"
"The inquiries have been made
as simple as possible, he continued,
ito make the task of supplying the
information easy, and have been
shaped to secure facts that will be
of maximum value to business
Mr.. McAllister declared that the
Census now being taken is a contin-,,
uation of the regular Business Cen
sus work of the Bureau of the
Census, and is for business use, not
for Government purposes. Its
scope is the result of requests from
business organizations, and it has
the full support of all branches of
business.
He reiterated previous assurances
that all enumerators and other per-
sons connected with the Census are
under oath not to disclose or dis
cuss any information submitted for
Census purposes, and that under
the Census law no access to indi-
vidual reports is permitted, not even
to other Governmental, State or To-
!cal agencies, and no information
will be disclosed which would in
any way reveal the facts or figures
given in the returns.
FThe Census Bureau expects, !,
he said, "to publish the results for
this State by July 1st unless there is
delay in obtaining the few reports
still out. Since the first few
States released receive nationwide
publicity, and comparisons with

a healthy increase in Rowan County

LANDON-VANDENBERG

Not long ago the two men who
are now conceded in the lead were
at the tail end of the list of Repub-
lican Presidential possibilities. To-
day the managers of Governor Lam
don, headed by John Hamilton,
have it all figured down to a
gnat's whisker, just how he is going
to be nominated on the second bal
lot at Cleveland.
Landon's camp figure him as get
ting the votes of all the West and
most of the South on the first bal
lot, for total of 31S votes. Then
on the secend balloe .ks solid East
and the rest of the South are ex-
pected to come in for Landon, with
22S more votes, giving him 546,
which is As more than a majority OF
the delegates.
1t must not be inferred from
these rosy claims, however, tina,
there is anything like unanimity
for Governor Landon in the inner
councils of the G. o. P. Quite
the contrary is true. To the old
line leaders of the Party, Landon
does not look, talk nor act like one
of themselves. They are frankly
puzzled by the growth of public
sentiment in Landon's favor. They
want to nominate a fire-eater, if
not a swashbuckler.
Also, the G. O. P. inner circle
want to be assured that the Party's
candidate will play ball with the
crowd which has controlled the Re-
publican Party in the past, and they
have no such assurance from Gov
trnor Landon, who has made no
promises and formed no alliances.
Indeed, Landon is in the almost
unique position in political history
of man who has not even declared
himself candidate being actually
the foremost candidate.
Senator Vandenberg's strength in
popular party favor continues to
grow. If something goes wrong
with the figuring of Landon's man

nomination on the second or third
ballot, watch Vandenberg come to

PROFESSORS IN POLITICS

There has been a lot of joking in
the past three years about profess
sors in politics. President Roose-
velt's Brain Trust" came in for
its share of comment, mainly be-
cause of the utterances of some of
its members.
Now the Republican National
Committee has taken a leaf from
MIR. Roosevelt's book, and set up a
''Brain Trust" of its own. A group
of university professors, it is an
nounced, will analyze the acts of
the Roosevelt Administration and,
it is presumed, show the Republi-
cans how to do the job better.
Well, why not? What's so fun
ny about the idea of professional
educators taking part in public af-
fairs? IF they are competent to
teach their students the fundament-
al principles of economics, finance,
social relations, international law
and the other elements that are the
chief concern of any government,
why are they not competent to ad-
wise political leaders?
Either something is wrong with
the colleges and universities if the
professors who have spent their lives
studying their subjects are not COM
petent to instruct those who come
to them to learn, or something is
wrong with politics if its leaders
scott at their idea that a professor
can teach them anything.
Some politicians, it is true, don't
want to learn anything except how
to get out the vote and get them
selves reelected. To that all too
common type, the idea of calling in
a trained expert on any subject
seems ridiculous. And it is easy to
ridicule professors to the half
educated, who are prone to sneer at
the notion that anybody knows
more than they do.
1t is a hopeful sign of the times
when political leaders undertake to
draw into public service the best
intelligences of the nation for ad-
vice. Administration of govern
ment, however, is an art. under our
system, which is more likely to be
successful in the hands of a politi-
clan than of a professor. 1t is ur
to the administrator to decide how
to apply that knowledge, once hi
has obtained it. And he can only
apply it successfully as far as it will
work politically.

WEATHER -. long range
The Federal Weather Bureau at
Washington has always been ex-
tremely cautious about making
long-range predictions. Its obser-
vers have a worldwide reputation
for scientific accuracy that they do
not want to lose. Therefore, when
the Bureau let the word get out the
other day that it is now possible to
forecast the weather two weeks
ahead, ! took it quite seriously.
Up our way, at Canton, Massa-
chusetts, there's a long-range
weather forecaster who predicted
last February the floods we had
in New England in March and
April. Now H. H. Clayton-that's
his name-is forecasting heavy
rainfall for the late Spring and
Summer over most Of the country
east of the Rockies. Our Yankee
folk are taking that quite seriously.
The real test will come only
through several years of long-range
forecasting. 1t is interesting, how
ever, that those who know most
about the weatrer believe it can be
done.
WAR -. by radio
I got my daughter one of those
modern new radio receivers for
birthday present the other day, and
now the whole family sits up late
too late-listening to broadcasts
from Europe.
They are all about war. Ger
many, France, England and Italy
are filling the air with arguments
Or news all emphasizing the strain
ed relations which prevail on the
European continent. The Germans
are talking, apparently, mostly for
American constitution, for much of
what we hear from Berlin is in Eng
lish-pretty good English, too.
1t all has brought home to us as
nothing in the newspapers has done,
how nervous and apprehensive all
Europe is, and how the ''Powers"
are shaking their fists in each
Others faces.
POLICE -. Saturday night
Another evening amusement with
the short-wave radio is picking up
police calls and signals from all over
the country. Saturday night is
trouble night, when men get their
weekly wages and spend some or all
of it getting drunk.

lice radio cars then. But we have
