Kentucky Girl Loses in Quarter-Finals of Brit.
 ish Golf Title Quest
BY STUART CAMERON

(Unlteu Press StaH COrreSpOnuent)
 Southport, Eng, May 20.-(UP- Americas bid for the British wom- ems golf championship-never tak- en across the Atlantic-failed today when the last of the invaders, Pretty Marion Miley of Lexington, Ky, was eliminated in the quarter final round by Bridgett Newell of Derbyshire.
 The little English girl scored Q four and three victory over the dark -haired Kentucky star to join three of her countrywomen in the semi final round which will be con- tested this afternoon.
 Miss Miley, who crashed into the quarter -flnals yesterday while four of her better known countrywomen were falling by the wayside either in the second or third rounds, fought her opponent on fairly even terms during the first nine holes toe day but cracked on the inward nine to lose on the 18th green.
 Cracked Up
 The pretty Kentucky girl, who wasn't good enough to win an ac- tive post on the American Curtis cup team which played Q tie two weeks ago with Great Britain, trail- cd by only one hole at the turn. But coming home, she dropped three holes in a row, picked up the 14th and then lost o nthe 18th.

THE EAST

Democratic voters east of Releigh
are showing An overwhelming pre-
ference for Lr. Mcdonald for gov
ernor.
The East came to the Legisla-
ture in 1881 and again in 1888 de-
handing that the sales tax be put
on. 1t wanted relief then from
land taxes.
. Now that land taxes are off its
great agricultural empire, it wants
the sales tax off, alao.
Nothing especially complex, how
ever about that! b
. It's the same old effort to get the
brunt of all State taxes paid by the
industrial piedmont of North Caro-
lima.
And the strange thing about it 1:
that the industrial counties seem te
be falling for the tricks of the East
ern segment of the State which aP-
pears uniformly to produce politi-
clans far more crafty than those
furnished. by any other part OF
North Carolina.

MORE POWER TO TIE
G-MEN

J. Edgar Hoover, chief Of the
Federal Bureau of investigation,
other Use known as the "G-Men,"
remarked the other day that Amer
ica's public Enemy No. 1" is not
any particular criminal, but is poll
tics. Nobody knows better than
Mr.. Hoover the powerful influence
of politics and politicians in the
protection of criminals and the en-
couragement Of crime.
1t is to be hoped that he can
arouse public sentiment to back up
his demand that law enforcement
in the United States be taken OUT
of politics. Anyone who has been
around much can point to many
communities in which criminals
have established relations with the
political groups in power and are
all but immune from punishment.
In such communities even the law
abiding live under a reign of terror,
knowing that the courts, the po-
lice authorities and even the rand
juries are under political obligations
which prevent justice being done.
The work of the G-Men in the
field Of their particular authority
has aroused nationwide admiration,
and their chief has won the respect
of every law-abiding citizen. Meth
er he nor his dorps can, or should
be expected to, clean up the Augean
stables, but he has certainly turned
the thoughts of the decent people,
of America to a condition which!
they have it in their power to cor
rect.

G. O. P. HARMONY

Republican leaders are taking
more confidently than they were a
few weeks ago. There has been a
decided stifening of Republican
morale in the past fortnight.
How much Bruce Barton's seIec-
lions as the party's publicity ad-
wiser has had to do with this is de-
batable, but dost observers believe
that his influence has been consider
able.
Less is being heard now of the
possibility Of Senator Borah's throw
ing a monkey wrench into the par
ty machinery. There appears to b<
a more general acceptance among
party leaders of Gov. Landon
who is now regarded as almost GER
tain to be nominated on the thirc
or fourth ballot at Cleveland, witt
the good will OF all OF the lmRor'
tant factors in the party behine
him.
Former President Hoover's pub.
lie statement that he is not and will
not be a candidate for the nomina-
ton, cleared the political air, while
his declaration that he is not op.
posed to any candidate is taken tt
mean that he will put no obstacles
in the way of Gov. Landon's noml.
nation.
Senator Vandenberg is now prac'
tically the only possible compromise
the nomination, but political strate'
gists are suggesting that it would
strengthen the ticket to nominate
him for Vice-President, with ar
eye to 1910 in case of a Republi'
can defeat this year.

but the decision If the conference
was for freedom under democracy.
1 like the language in which the
conference report proclaimed that
"a free church cannot long survive
the death of the free school, the
free press, free speech and free as
semblage. We Gill resist dictator
ship. Economic justice is to be
won by extending democracy to the
industrial order, not by setting up
therein the autocracy of dictator
ship"
It seems to me that the Meth
odists have fully grasped and clear
ly expressed the essentials of Amer

N A .... takes a rap
Some people eat spinach because
they like it, but most children eat
it because their parents have been
told that it is good for them. Now
comes along DR.. Clifford Sweet, a
California child specialist, and tells
the American Medical Association
that spinach isn't any better food
for children than any other green
vegetable. He also ridicules the
common idea that everybody re-
quires a completely balanced diet
at every meal.
I think most of the diet faddists
have thrown away the most impor-
tant ingredient, which is common
sense. If all the nonsense that i,
talked about malnutrition were tru.
few of us would ever have lived tc
grow up. But l imagine it will b<
a long time before mothers gener-
ally will get rid of the notion that
a fat baby is a healthy baylor
for that matter, that they can keer
themselves slender and we'll nour-
ished at the same time.

not be abandoned until other

An indirect bid for the support
of the ladies and for labor was
made by the candidate when he
said that he had always advocated
woman's suffrage and worked for
the amendment that made this
possible, and that he had always
been a friend of labor often when
it was not politically e~xpediate to
take this stand.

ming ten percent higher in volume
and in number of employees than

ables in trade and industry who are

SIDELIGHTS ON UNEM-
PLOYMENT

Technically, of course, everybody
who isn't working is unemployed.
But whether he is unemployed be-
cause he does not want to work,
because he is unable to work, be-
cause he never did work and does
not intend to begin now, or wheth-
er he is actually a victim of the de-
preston, having once been a habi-
tual worker and now unable to find
employment, are questions which
need to be answered before any in
telligent understanding of the "un-
employment situation" can be ar
rived at.
. In the absence of any such count
and classification, it is the easies,
thing in the world for political da-
magogues to assert that there are
ten or twelve million persons who
bnce had jobs but are now unem-
ployed. A little thought will dem
onstrate that this cannot possibly
be true.
Industry at its peak, using the
word in it's strict sense of manufac-
turing, never employed as many
as ten million workers, and the
National Industrial Conference
Board reports that industry as a
whole is now employing more than
80 percent of its former high
Those figures are borne out by a
survey which one newspaper, the
New York Sun, has been making
among all the large manufacturer:
ard business houses of the United
States. An amazingly high per
centage of them report that they
are now employing more workers
than tsey were in 1929.
Who, then. actually constitute
the army of unemployed? Well
there are the farm workers who
have lost there jobs because OF
droughts and reduction of crol
acreage. Their number is estimat.
ed variously up to two million
Then there are the younger poten'
tial workers who have been unable
to land jobs since they reached
working age. So reasonably approx
imately figures of their number il
available, but may run to a couple
of million. A high percentage Of

tional ten years to pay this obliga-
ton, thus preventing the forced
sale of many homes.
In the Finance Committee Mr..
Uzzell distinguished himself by his
deligent and p~ainstaking efforts. He
unsuccessfully attempted to remove
the obnoxious features of the Sales
Tax by placing the tax upon the
wholesale price, and to exempt Sec
ond hand articles. He was chair
man of the subcommittee that
drafted the important Machinery
Act, and was successful in recap
turing much wealth that was es-
Gaping taxation. He was well Xix
ed by the legislators, his opinion
was respected by all of the mem
bers, and he succeeded in getting
through the House every measure
sponsored by him.
After a careful consideration OF
all of the candidates for the House
of Representatives, We feel that the
people of Rowan County would
not make a mistake in rejecting
Mr.. Uzzell as one of the represen-
tatives, and that he can and will
even better services during
the next Legislature. He and the
County bbth may be honored in
his selection as the Speaker of the
next House, as he is prominently
mentioned for this office.

PURITANS

PURITANS 49,. standards
My friend, w. j. Cameron IN
one Of his Sunday night broadcass''
gave me a new thought on the cha
racter of the early colonists Of New
England. As one of the thirty
million descendants of those 10000
puritans who settled in New Eng
land before 1910, l was interested
when MI. Cameron pointed out
that in their time, and Judged by
the standards then prevailing IN
England, they were regarded as
dangerous radicals, they were so tal
ahead of current ideas in their lib
eral attitude toward life and hu-
man azairs.
That is quite contrary to the cur
rem impression of our Puritan fore
fathers as narrow and hidebound.
The world has moved in 500 years,
and we cannot apply today's stand
ards to. the people of those times.
But they did have one quality
which measures up to the highest
standards of all time. That was
respect for the rights and liberties
of individuals and suspicion of ev-
eryone who tried to get along
without working.

FREEDOM

FREEDOM ... fair chance
The Ameican system is based
upon the freedom of the individual
to plan his own life. That does
not mean that society should NOT
give him every possible aid, thru
school and church, to help the in
dividual to fit himself for the strug-
gle for existence. 1t does imply,
however, hat no child should be
taught to believe that life is any
thing but a struggle, or that socie-
ty owes him anything but a fair
chance to make the best of what
ever is in him.
That is a hard doctrine, from the
point of view of the sentimentallst.
But the hard way, what Theodore
Roosevelt called "the strenuous
life," is the only way of lite ir
which the individual is really tree.
1t is not too high a price to pay
for liberty.

They had a celebration in New
York the other day in honor Of
Helen Purviance, the Salvation
Army lassie who fried the first
doughnuts in France for the boys
of the A. E. F. in 1917.
l would hesitate to say that the
Salvation Army doughnuts won the
war, but they certainly helped a
lot in keeping the morale of the
American soldiers "over there"
And they put the Salvation Army
into first place in the axections OF
millions of Americans.
I don't know which I admire
more, doughnuts or the Salvation
Army. l am an enthusiast about
both. | have to restrain my ap-
petite for doughnuts as l grow
older, but I find it impossible to re-
strain my admiration for the self
sacrificing labors of the Salvation
Army. When I meet, as l often
do, young men and young women
who have left wealthy homes Or
good Jobs to don the Salvationists
uniform in order to help Others,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
FcDONALD LIKE HOOVER
IN PROMISES
Tc the Editor:

Tc the Editor:
Mcdonald has pitched and main
tanned his campaihn upon the basis
of intense prejudice and revolt. He
denounces what he contends are the
evils of Dtmocratic Administra-
ton in North Carolina and assigns
Graham and Hoey as belonging to
the group that have created the
evils. He has adopted completely
the tactics of an opposition party.
Would it not be reasonable be-
fore we decided this issue, based
upon political prejudice, to inquire
if Mcdonald is the person chosen to
bring the Millennium to our State
Are there no evils that might come
from this young nan leading North
Carolina for the next four years:
Are the people of North Carolina
ready to give the highest honor and
the most important office in the
State to a man who has never serv-
ed an apprenticeship in puplic life,
and who is only 50 years of age,
and never voted in the State until
1882. As has been stated by one
lof the candidates, is not the career
of McDosald and his promises re-
lated to the career and promises OF
Herbert Hoover? We all remem-
Der that Mr.. Hoover made the
most beguiling promises of two
automobiles for every family, and
a chicken in, every pot, and pros
perity just around the corner. We
also said in 1882, IF you don't take
me and my program grass will grow
in the streets of the principal cities
of the United States" DR.. McDon-
aid promises to reduce taxes and
spend more, and his implied threat
of a State controlled in the interest
of wealth if it does not nominate
him sounds to me very much akin
to Mr.. Hoover's threat of grass
growing in the streets.
In the next ten days thoughtful
people ecedywhere are trying to ser
iously ask themselpes this question.
"Does North Carolina know Nc
DoRald? Are we ready to abandon
leadership that we know and can
trust for leadership that WI do not
know and whose appeal is biased up
on distrust?"
1t is evident hat there is enough
opposition to Mcdonald to defeat
him, but the opposition is split 3
ways. Have we not reached the
point now when we should all rea-
lie that this is no time to throw
away our votes? We all know that
! only of the four candidates can
be nominated. McDonald's strate-
gy is to encourage the followers OF
the other three candidates, to cut
each other into pieces, and himself
thereby to lead in the first primary.
Has not the time come for the peo-
pie of North Carolina to concen-
trate on the right man, stop this
divided allegiance and win lor
North Carolina.
