BEHIND TIE SCENES
IN TIE CAMPAIGN

currently, the New Dealers are
burned up more than ever because
Lonergan has refused an investi-
cation of the defeat of Congress-
man Dennis Driscoll Of ,Pennsyl-
vania, who says he was beaten
by a combination Of power
trust" effort, employer coercion,
and paid whispering campaigns.
Driscoll is the Democrat who
exposed the Associated Gas g.
Electric Company's fake telegram
campaign during the COMPRESSION
al battle over the holding COM
pany bill.
Senator Guffey Of Pennsylvania
urged Lonergan to investigate, cit
ing evidences Of skullduggery, and
was supported by two committee
members, Schwellenbach and Sem
ator Minton of Indiana.
THE administration is likely 10
L 70 to extremes in the Driscoll
case because it is believed his de-
feat and that of Sisson of New
York, plus narrow squeezes for
other Democratic congressman
prominent in the bitter holding
company fight in a year Of Demo-
cratic landslides, will give power
company lobbyists the chance to
tell other congressman that it's
dangerous to incur enmity OF the
utilities. =
Although Lonergan is able to
take the position that he is re-
| fusing to let the committee be
used as a partisan instrument, his
critics in the administration are
pointing out that he was elected
in the Democratic sweep OF 1892.
Then the Democratic party in
Connecticut was widely regarded
as a mere adjunct to the Repub-
lican machine of ]. Henry Rora-
back, powerful political boss and
public utilities magnate.
Lonergan voted on the utilities
side against the famous death
sentence" - 40, ,

SOCIAL. SECURITY

In principle, the act is splendid. Its purpose is
to insure every worker an income during >unem.

In practice it is to be hoped the administrators
will not take the hgh-handed attitude displayed
by those in charge of MIRA, which, in large part
contributed to the Blue Eagles unpopularity. A

WHY NOT FOR ALL?

In New York people are demanding that the
rent of houses built by the federal government
shall be $3.50 room a month instead of 1925.
At $3.50 room month four-room house or
apartment would rent for $50 month In South
Carolina are at least $4,000, perhaps 100000,
families who cannot afford to pay a rent of $50
month. We cannot see why the federal govern
ment should not build as good houses for the South
Carolinians as it builds anywhere else and rent
them at a figure they can afford. Why build houses
for some folks and not for all?-Charleston News

CIVILIZATION is MENACED BY
SPANISH SAVAGERY
(By BRUCE CATION

The airplane bombings of Madrid ought
to make it perfectly clear, by now, that
that kind of warfare is an ugly, inhuman,
and unreheved throwback to absolute saw
agery.
No plea of military necessity can excuse
this long-ocntinued bombardment of a
populous city. The military mind which
demands such measures is the sort of mind
that sees in every bed-ridden cripple, every
baby in arms, every housewife, and every
school child an enemy as important as the
soldier at the front.
For it is obvious that when an army
showers flame and explosives on a city, as
the rebel army has been showering them
on Madrid, it is out to break, by any means,
the populace's will to resistance.
To that end it can count the murder of
an infant. the burning of a hospital full of
expectant mothers, as the destruction OF
aischool building and its pupils as an
achievement equal to the capture of
trench or the destruction of an airdrome.
1T may be that this frightful philosophy
can exist only in bitter civil war, where
to the ordinary brutality of war there is
added fierce personal hatred, a bias
which makes the opposition look like
fends against whom any form of frightful-
ness is permissible.
But even there the excuse is poor one.
For warfare of this kind is the fruit of a
x,hi M nlacp
in a world calling itself civilized. The mere
existence of armies and governments which
can fight in this way is threat to the we'll
being of the entire world.
There has been a good deal of talk about
the collapse of civilization" which an
other war would bring. That collapse
would not come through the physical de-
struction of towns, factories and transpor-
tation systems, or through the mere total
of violent deaths. 1t would come through
this resort to barbarism, of which the as
sault on Madrid is so glaring an example.
For world which fights like this is not
civilized. 1t is on level with the ancient
world in which Assyrian armies put the
inhabitants to the sword after capturing a
city The only difference would be that
the modern world put them to the sword
before capturing the city, not afterward
And beyond all that-how insane this
rebel procedure is, anyway! The rebels
hope to govern Spain, some day. Madrid
is Spain's greatest city. How can they
hope to get anything remotely resembling
loyalty, or even tolerance, from a city they
have repeatedly bombed? Human memo
ries are not so short as all that.
The war in Spain may end in rebel vic
tory, and it may not. That, at the moment
is not the point.
The point is that "a savagery has beer
loosed which, if not disavowed and dis
carded by the conscience of mankind
means the beginning of the end of Euro
pean civilization.

THE COLLARD, FLAVORED
BY Noah Hollowell

by frost and light freezes, is COM
ing into its own. We quoted G. q.
Hyder, scotsman, at planting time
last summer to the effect that the
collard was far more popular with
negroes than white people in Hen
derson county. The collard takes
q much more prominent place in
the winter green's or salad king
dom than the cabbage in warmer
climates. Perhaps cOllards will
grow as well here as elsewhere
but their scarcity may be due to
the fact that cabbage are easily
kept here through the winter but
cannot be kept in Eastern North
Carolina.

It occurs to me to reprint some
condensed extracts from Lord Moul-
tons address, as having appropriate
ness to the Christmas season in . year
in which the world is much per-
turbed about the relation of the in
dividual to society-the relation OF
the individual conscience to, on the
one side. written law. and. on the
other, to the Golden Rule.
Lord Moulton was not primarily q
philosopher or moralist. He was q
man of action. During the great war
he was Britain's minister of NUM-
tons. After the war he delivered an
address before the Authors Club Of
London. Apparently the talk was i'm
promptu; certainly there was no
manuscript. Notes were made by a
nearer. Soon after. the editor Of the
Atlantic Monthly. Ellery Sedgwick. be-
ing In London. heard of the address,
procured q copy, and printed it in
his issue Of July, 1924. The title he
gave 1t was Laws and Manners
his editorial acumen. great as It was,
did not extend to realizing how much
more forcefui and catching. as . title,
was the phrase which the address
contained, and which was born for
immortality. obedience to the un-
enforceable"
Three Domains Of Action.
II ask you to follow me in examin-
ing the three great domains of hu-
man action. First comes the domain
Of positive law. where our actions are
prescribed by laws binding upon US,
which must be obeyed. Next comes
the domain of free choice, which in
cludes all those actions as to which
we claim and enjoy complete free
dom.
But between these two there is q
third large and important domain in
which there rules neither positive nor
absolute freedom. In that domain
there is no law which inexorably de-
termines our course Of action, and
yet we feel that we are not free to
choose as We would. 1t is the domain
Of obedience to the unenforceable.
The obedience is the obedience Of q
man to that which he cannot be
forced to obey. He is the enforcer
Of the law upon himself. -.
THE infinite variety of circum-
stances surrounding the individual
and rightly influencing his action
make 1t impossible to subject him in
all things 70 rules rigidly prescribed
and enforced. Thus there was wisely
left the intermediate domain, which,
so far as positive law is concerned,
Is . land Of freedom Of action but
in which the individual should feel
that he was not wholly free. This
lies between law and free choice.
Beset by Two Dangers.
THE dangers that threaten this do
main arise from its situation between
the region Of absolute choice and the
region Of positive law. There are
countless supporters Of movements to
enlarge the sphere Of positive law.
In many countries-especially in
the younger nations-there Is q tend
