~ AY had to receive congratula-
" tions and good wishes, and
~ said her thanks with gracious
4 u assurance; she saw the Curl
Gus questions in some eyes and
ignored them. There were older folk
here, people of the age of Or. and
Mrs. Dakin; and Kay was at her ease
with them. Then suddenly DR.. Fabre,
Bob's chief, appeared with Mrs. Fabre;
and Kay when she met him did find
herself trembling. He was a small,
fair man; and he studied her frankly,
with keen blue eyes. He did not
speak; and Kay said appealingly:
"I feel as though ought to tell you
my symptoms, DR.. Fabre. Are you
diagnosing me?"
He smiled then. "I'm-diagnosing
Bob he corrected; and he said Sc
riously: AN accurate diagnosis is
three-quarters of the cure"
She asked in an attempt at light
ness: Are you going to give me a
prescription for him?"
He hesitated. Yes" he said then.
Keep him at home the nights when
he's on CALI"
"Is he-on call often?" she asked.
Every night" he told her. watch
ing her closely. "I'll see to that. and
I'll hold you responsible for seeing to
it that he's-ready to work."
She looked at him intently; and
she spoke in a lower tone. II think
you're-not sorry about this" she
said slowly. II think you like mel"
She smiled, moved her hands in a
grateful gesture. You people who
are fond of Bob have all been so good
to me-"
He said seriously: There is a
great career waiting for Bob If he will
take it, I thought Thursday that he
had thrown it away. I think per-
haps he may recapture it now, with
you to help him"
She met his eye steadily. "You
know-what happened about us!" she
asked.
Bob told me-" he agreed.
Then how can you put any-hope
in me?"
He answered For the first time
in his life Bob admits that he has
done mistaken and unworthy thing"
His eyes twinkled. Il think now, after
having seen you, that perhaps his
biggest mistake is in regretting what
he did. But contrition may be good
for him"

GREENE DEPLORES
AIR PROPAGANDA
British Broadcasting Of
ficiaI Urges Stimulation to
Free Thought Instead.

n n ISJSE Of broadcasting as a
M means of political propaganda
V and mass suggestion is de-
plored by Felix Greene, newly
arrived representative in America of
the British Broadcastjng Co.
Greene contends broadcasting should
be for the very reverse of mass sag-
gestion-to stimulate mems minds to
free and individual thought.
ITO use its great power otherwise, I"
he said, lis to my mind, prostitu-
tion of its rightful purpose. If broad
casting as means of propaganda
within the boundaries of the states has
already become a reality, it will not
be long before it is used-if indeed
it is not being used so already-as a
means of national propaganda directed
at countries lying beyond the bound
aries of the state.
I'VE in Great Britain. and I am
sure you in this country, too. feel that
broadcasting has a far higher mis-
sion than that. The need for rapid
adjustment of mems minds to the
world circumstances of today is in
deed urgent. and surely the immense
potentialities of broadcasting should be
used to help and hasten that adjust
ment. 1t must be used in this crisis
of civilization to develop the wisdom
of man and bring it little more in
line with his new knowledge"

Governor Ehringhaus admitted that
thore is some opposition to two of

one providing for the classification

rates and the one providing for
maximum tax exemption on home
steads of $1,000, but maintained this

1T must be remembered that these
amendments do not require the Gen
oral Assembly to go the whole dis
lance all at once, but merely permit
it to classify property or grant home
stead exemptions when and as it sees
fit to do So" the governor said. "Ac-
cordingly, it is to be surmised that
the General Assembly will move slow
Nv in both of these matters.
In classifying property for taxa
ton. the General Assembly would of
course move cautiously and carefully
and work out a program that would
not injure any county or subdivision
In the same way. it will undoubtedly
proceed gradually in putting the
homestead exceptions into effect,
probably starting with about $3.50 and
then from year to year increasing the
exemption as conditions may warrant.
For these amendments do not

assembly to put the maximum

Governor Ehringhaus pointed out
that the amendment limiting the
amounts which subdivisions NAV
borrow on bond issues was very i'm
portant and would make it manda-
tory for counties, cities and towns

he likewise urged the adoption of the
amendment increasing the income tax
unit TO III per cent on large incomes
ana increasing the membership of
the state Supreme Court to seven

form of his private car. Republican
leaders, headed by Gillian Grissom
Republican candidate for Governor
went to Chapel Hill early this morn,
ing to greet Colonel Knox, whose
train was scheduled to arrive tbaro
at o'clock. Most of these COP Lad
ers were invited to be his guests on
his special train from Chapel Hill r.
Burlington and some on even to Ashe-
vile.
While Colonel Knox will he in
North Carolina only today, Thomas
Dixon, who attended Wake Forest Col
lege, became a Baptist minister and
once was pastor of the Tabernacle
Baptist church here before he became
famous as a novelist and lecturer
he wrote THE Clansmen" which was
the basis for the moving picture "The
Birth of Nation"-will make Is
more political speeches in the State
and remain in it until the last of this
month. He is already scheduled for
speeches in Chapel Hill, Goldsboro,
Smithfield, Whiteville and Beaufort
this week. Because Dixon is a native
North Carolinian, is we'll known in
North Carolina and a former Demo
crat, the speakers bureau of the Ma
tional Republican Committee evident
ly believed he was the ideal man to
send into the State in an effort to
turn Democrats into mugwumps who
would vote for Landon and Grissom,
according to comment heard here.
Whether the Republican leaders,
both here in the State and in Nation
al Republican headquarters, really be-
lieve they have a chance to carry
North Carolina, or are merely put
ting up bold front and nursing moth
ing more than a fond and remote
hope, is not known. But the belief in
Informed political circles here is that
Landon and Grissom have just about
as much chance of carrying North
Carolina as a Hottentot would have
being elected governor of Iceland.
Most observers here frankly say they
believe the Republican leaders have
reminded National Republican Head
quarters of what happened in 1928
when Hoover carried North Carolina
over AL Smith and have led them to
believe the same thing might happen
this fall, largely in the hope of get
ting the National Republican Cam
paign Committee to turn loose some
funds down here for the faithful"
Many of the Republicans here frankly
admit in private that neither Landon
nor Grissom has ghost of g chance
to win North Carolina, even though
some of them think Landon will win
in the nation as a whole. Most OBJ
servers agree that Grissom either &C
tually believes he has a chance to be
elected governor or else is one of the
worlds best pretenders, since a Re-
publican here was overheard to re-
mark the other day:
"You know, Gillian Grissom seems
to actually believe he has a chance to
be elected governor over Clyde Hoey."

At still earlier period the Roman
emperors solved similar problems by
arbitrary imposition of taxes. The
artists who played for them received
wages wrung from the plebeians in an
excise machine of marvellous efficiency.
Indeed, 1t was no. until the modern

Of the people. Even now. Of course,
there is much to be desired. But some
thing, nevertheless, is gained when such
an institution as the National Symphony
Orchestra is financed by those who COM
bose its audiences rather than by some
benign tyrant providentially competent
to appreciate its services.
Democracy, however, must not fail.

1t seems a good deal of q pity that
any one should have to beg for music.
But there are many lovely and gracious
and kindly values in the world which
soon would perish were it not for the
generous willingness of their friends to
20 out into the highways with a
metaphoric tin cup in their behalf.
Even the Government on occasion per-
force is obliged to have recourse to

essary funds The Liberty loan efforts
of war time represent a case in point.
But it does not follow that organized
appeals to the philanthropic impulses
of community are altogether deplor-
able. On the contrary, they constitute
the most democratic method of securing
support for public causes. In the Mid

Bad Business.

The selections of Daniel j. Callahan
and John Locher to serve with the Com
missioners as members of the District
Unemployment Compensation Board
brought favorable response from the
Washington community. These two use
full citizens, representing, respectively.
the employers and employees of the Dis
trict, are both we'll known and respected.
But the boards tentative selection OF
subordinate administrative and clerical
personnel smells strongly Of politics.
That is bad business. The unemployment
insurance law, brand-new and requiring
painstaking administration by an in
evitably expanding Government bureau,
is going to be complicated enough under
the best of conditions. II it gets mixed
up with political spoils and favoritiSm
at the very beginning, which seems now
to be threatened, it is going to be too
bad for the local taxpaying employers
who foot the bill.
The danger of politics and the neces-
sity for avoiding it were recognized in
the national social security legislation
when a Congress, not noted for uphold
ing the merit system principle, carefully
directed that personnel under the
National Social Security Board-with
some exceptions in the case Of experts
should be selected from the lists of certi-
fed eligibles of the Civil Service Com
mission. The board and the Civil Serv-
ice Commission indicate that they are
adhering strictly to this law.
The law creating the District Unem-
ployment Compensation Board, to ad-
minister the local unemployment inSur-
ance, did not specify that personnel
should be selected from the civil service
lists. But the hope was expressed at
the time of the laws enactment that the
Commissioners would establish and con-
tinue the precedent Of so selecting per-
sonnel. They apparently have no such
plans. Proposed appointments bear dis
tinct resemblance to fine old Arkansas
family tree. Once this practice of select
ing the relatives and friends of infiuen-
tial officeholders is begun, there is small
chance of stopping it.
1t would seem that the New Dealers
would take every conceivable step TO
avoid failure of the social security prin-
ciples. For while such principles are
generally Endorsed, the practical diff
culties of making them effective are
many. One of the greatest of these is
the unacceptable fact that huge and
cumbersome bureaucracy Is going to be
set up to administer the law. Even in
the District this bureau is going to
grow and grow and grow. And the cer-
tain way to make 1t more unwieldy, more
cumbersome, more expensive, more OF
drag on the people who pay the bills, is
to load it up with political relatives and
favorites.
Local employers are now contributing
one per cent of their pay rolls in unem-
ployment taxes. Next year they will con-
tribute two per cent and in 1888 three
per cent. That is a substantial sum,
increasing costs of production, increasing
costs of living. Employers and the bene-
ficiary-employes deserve the best admin
istrative machinery that strictly estab-
lished merit system can provide. They
are not getting it and they will never get
al
tionship rules the selection of personnel.

About the bulls and bears we're told,
Those famous Wall Street pets;
But every one who bought or sold
Is talkin' bout his debts.

He rises and he sets
And cheers the folks that have to pay,
While talkin' bout their debts.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

which the founding fathers projected for
Federal power. In his recent book,
Hold Fast the Middle Way-An Outline
of Economic Challenges and Alterna-
tives," Mr.. Dickinson espoused the theory
of "judicious progress" rather than i'm
petuous methods, in the "extirpation of
evils" In a predatory note, the Assistant
Attorney General quoted Goethe's defini-
ton of a liberal as one who contents
himself in this ever-imperfect world with
what is good until time and circum-
stances favor his attaining something
better" Dickinson, former Los Angeles
law partner of Senator McAdoo, is one
of the up-and-comi young men of the
Democratic party.
There's every indication that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message to Congress
this week. calling for additional relief
billions, will unleash fresh congressional
storm over w. P. A. and the New Deals
ace spender. Harry L. Hopkins. Senator
Davis, Republican, OF Pennsylvania is
expected to utilize the opportunity to
press his resolution for an investigation
of relief administration. Former Gov.
Clifford Pinchot has for some time been
making the same general charges about
relief in the keystone State-politics,
wastefulness and the like-that young
Senator Holt is hurting at the Hopkins
regime in West Virginia. 1t is within
the range of possibilities that relief con-
troversy will contribute, along with the
tax muddle, to prolonging the session
well into the Spring.
Judging by Chairman Fletcher's ref
erences to the Senate Lobby Committees
investigating methods, when speaking in
York, Pa, Saturday night, the Republi-
cans may seek to convert the activities Of
Senator Black and his colleagues into
a 1885 campaign issue. Although Mr..
Fletcher was vehement in denouncing
the Lobby Committees practices, he
called attention to the fact that not q
voice was raised in the Senate (even in
Republican quarters) when Senator
Black suggested the possibility Of legis-
lation curbing the courts right to issue
injunctions in cases similar to the litiga-
ton over the subpoenaing of kilograms.
