INJUNCTION WON'T
STOP BRIDGE WORK
State Highway Commission Expects
No Such Move in Spanning
Albemarle Sound
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
IN The Sir Walter Hotel

l. Raleigh, Sept. 16-State Highway
and Public Works officials do not
think the lower county protestants in
the Albemarle region will bring that
/ threatened injunction to prevent the
construction of the span recently
chosen by the commission.
| One of the State papers wrote inn
mediately after the hearing in Ra-
| leigh last week that the Injunction
| would in all likelihood be asked. The
middle route chosen by the commits
sion, which happens to traverse some
of the acres owned by Commissioner
| Julian Wood is costlier than the west
! ern and less expensive than the east
ern, seems to be popularity the most
| Objectionable, according to reports
| from the east.
! The opposition to the commissions
| choice, derisively called Mr. Woods
bridge" has been strengthened by the
| attachment of Representative Joe
| Vann. of Hartford county, to that
side 1t is not inconceivable, accord
| ing to some of the people in the east,
| that an injunctio may stay opera
| tions long enough to get a legisla-
tive act submitting the bridge issue
| to popular vote. The contention of
| the defeated delegation up here last
week is that the chosen route is. OBJ
jectionable to a large majority of the
people.
But the commission does not believe
the opposition made case that would
justify any court in granting per
manent restraining order In fact,
good lawyers are doubtful that there
is at issue the kind of property right
that sustain such cases when once
they get into courts. The next few
days will disclose whether the fan
casters are in earnest about contest
ing this action.

Legion Will Go
Strongly In Politics
Continued from Page One.)

State and nation in the olden days.
What seemed significant to the com
mentators On the Legions act in set
ting it's leaders to work for RoOse-
welt, was the apparent feeling of
safety politically of the leaders who
have started their activities. The
President was supposed to have af-
fronted thousands of them in vetoing
happen to have Legion favor, but
there has not been successful assault
on him as a former guardsman in
his own State militia. It is remem-
bered that in North Carolina the Lee
gion wrought well for Frank Grist.
In the first race for commissioner of
labor and printing Grist ran 10000
behind in a vote barely half as big
as the present voting is. But the Le-
gion without appearing as body to
be interested, got behind Grist and
nominated him by a big majority.
It almost repeated in the late DEM
ocratic primary when individual mem
bers took the burden of the Graham
campaign and in a tremendous cam
paign of 80 days raised Grahams
vote to 10000. The Legion was divid
ed on that enterprise but the leaders
who worked for their candidates
showed what they know about the
push of a campaign.
For a long time it has been known
that the American Legion expects to
nominate a veteran and legionnaire
for President in 1910. The most pro-
bable and the most powerful of them
is Governor Paul c. McNutt, of In
diana. Governor McNutt is regarded
the greatest campaigner in the coun-
try. He has an an executive of his
state had much the same sort of rec
cord that Governor Aycock had in
North Carolina. A great speaker was
great executive. Governor McNutt
in Raleigh some months ago declared
that ''there is not the slightest doubt
that Roosevelt will be reelected. He

effort to grow and market tobacco
intelligently. This year the weather
did the curtailing that the tobacco
farmers asked of their government
Here again the governors wisdom
was manifest, in the opinion of many
of his supporters. BY planting nor
mally the farmers were not put at the
mercy of other growers who exceeded
their 1885 crop. And the season have
cut the whole acreage of the country
by natural processes.
The governor never felt himself
more right in a position he has taken
than he was in this mass meeting
where the multitude was violently
against him. But he likes the first
prices which have been reported from
the markets and he still believes that
other states would have profited by
weak legislation which did nothing to
prevent the interstate traffic in to
bacco in a way to defeat the very
terms of the compact legislation.

this would be a good thing. However
we are not scrapping the navy; we

ingly off base-or would have done

case again.
That taught us part of our lesson
We began to subsidiZe.

Sans cash, for they have let their
fleet run down, not quite to the level
of 1914, but nearly so.
A FAIRLY GOOD LAW
Congress, at it's last session, took
this situation in hand, and passed
what experts describe to me as fair
ly satisfactory new law.
Without entering into details, it is a
law which requires subsidy-seekers
to make such showings to the gov
eminent as will guarantee that Amer
lea will get fair return in merchant
ships for the subsidies it pays.
A Federal Maritime Commission of
five members was created to handle
the task.
But, here is the nub of the thing:
No commission has been appointed.
The plan cannot begin to function
until the commissioners are appoint
ed. The law was passed in June. Now
it is September The commission, even
after it is named, is not permitted
to assume it's duties until 80 days
thereafter, to give it an interval to
organize.

MILK SUIT SET.
F0R0CT0BER8

The United States District Court
will decide on October 8 whether
a preliminary injunction shall be
issued against enforcement of the
recent milk marketing order of
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace.
Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat
set the date for hearing on the
motions for preliminary injunc-
lions after milk producers in Mont
gomery and Frederick counties,
Maryland, and in Fairfax county,
Virginia, filed two suits attacking
the constitutionality Of the agrl-
cultural adjustment act, under the
authority of which Secretary Wal
lace promulgated the marketing
order for the District of Columbia

Both suits claimed that the or
der, which became effective Sep
TENDER II after six weeks of bitter
wrangling between independent
producers and the Maryland-Vir-
{ MIA Milk Producers Association,
In hearings as the Department of
Agriculture, was discriminatory
against the independent producers.
The claim is further advanced
that the order, levying a tax on
milk produced in the District of
Columbia area, contains provisions
benefitting a class instead Of the
general public, thereby violating
the Constitution.

OUR HIGH DEATH RATE

Vital statistics for the United States, Just issued by
the u s. Commerce Department show that total death
rate Tor the entire country remained unchanged last
compared with 1884, averaging Id deaths per 900
population.
The reports covering eightysx cities indicate that
the mortality rate among Negroes is considerably higher
than that for whites The highest death last year
among the colored population of Washington D. c.,
where the percentage was 235 Other correspondingy
high rates for group found in New Orleans with
22.9; Richmond, Virginia, and Nashville Tennessee, with
22.4 each
DR.. George C. Rutland, District health Officer Of
Washington, quoted in the Capital News Service be-
ees that death rate is increased by the pre-
Vsfence of tuberculosis especially among children of
school age He further declares that tuberculosis among
our people directly affects white citizens especially in the
South because of the number Of colored servants
poyed domestcs in white homes and cooks in resau
rants The physician further states that at present
after colored ubercuar patients sent to hospitals
and cured Of the disease have their arrested
they often contract the disease again. by returning to the
environment.
The high death rate among people is unqueston-
ably due largely to the unfavorable and hous
ing conditions under which many of us have to live
average colored wageearner especially during this
period depression forced to accept the most expos
ing jobs which take him out in all kinds of weather
without proper shoes and clothing Others of the unem
ployed class, live in dapdated poorly heated houses,
where they contract colds coughs, n d
pneumonia which in many instances prove fatal for lack
of adequate medical attention and nursing.
Little children also fall easy victims to disease and

in which so many of our children live.
AS racial group, living under terrific stress
and strain in the presentday struggle for existence and
this accounts in large for the high mortality
rate among This high death rate occasoned not
much by any inherent physical weakness on the part of
the average Negro but rather because of extremely
favorable economic conditions which make for poverty
