NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
CONTRAST

Governor Hoey on his visit to Gastonia last week
reiterated his views the rights of strikers and
the rights of property owners to protection Of their
property, and we think the utterance takes add
ed significance when contrasted with Washingtons
apparent decision that it will have nothing to do
with property rights and the like
Mr. Hoey's statement a clear and strong
pronouncement; just the sort of thing that needs
to be said in the face of conditions existing in the
other states.
eve in North Carolina believe in the right to
strike and the right to work. and we believe every
man should be protected to the full extent of the
power Of the state in those rights We believe in
the right of any man to join labor union or not
join one, just as he pleases," he said.
81 am anxious to see those who toll get every
advantage believe in helping them to get the
best wages industry afford to pay and the best
hours possible. But I also believe in the sacred
ness of the rights of private property and so long
as the sovereign power of the state can prevent it,
those rights will not be interfered with in North
Carolina"
How different this attitude from that of Cover
nor Earle of Pennsylvania, who has countenanced
riotng and bloodshed by his refusal to take stand
in the strike in the steel mills in his state. How
different is the attitude of the president himself
who disinsSes the affair with nonchalant and in
different "a plague on both their houses"
Mr. Roosevelt could have stopped the strike dis
ease weeks ago with simple, strong statement
supporting the American creed of equal rights to
all. He could have brought order out of this welter
of rioting and disorder. But he said nothing, and
in remaining silent made union members believe
they had his blessing in trying to deny for others
what they demanded for themselves.
In North Carolina there's no misunderstanding
to what the governor thinks or as to what he'll
do if any group seeks to interfere with the rights
of others.-Concord Tribune. ~

TWEEDLEDUM VS.. TwEEDLEDEE

Report on North Carolina highway deaths, just
Issued by the office of the states safety division,
contains the usual Interpolation of optimism.
During the first FIVE months Of the current year,
or the period to which Director Fulks compilation
applies traffic fatalities in Tarheelia showed 7
per cent increase over the total for the correspond
ing period last year.
But was or is the safety director downhearted?
He most positively is not, for here is his bush
explanation: During the same interval gasoline
consumption jumped 1915 per cent and motor We
hcle registration is 10 per cent heavier. There
fore, everything considered, there has been de-
crease in fatalities; North Carolinians are becom-
ing better drivers All of which may be entirely
satisfactory to the technical observers, or depend
ent upon precisely how you look at the improve
ment.
To follow this method through, the highway pa
trolmen, the safety division and the other official
responsibles might make comparatively better
showing by devoting their full-tme efforts to the
stimulation of motor vehicle and gasoline sales,
But. ali. and here is the rub; the casket manufac-
turers and n,orticians would continue do stead
lily expanding business too.
When S95 persons killed in the five months
Just closed against 367 for the period during
1886. we simply cannot kick up our heels over the
relative decline in fatalities and our own personal
safety on the highways.-Greensboro News.

not be controlled. However, the chances
are that court packing victory giving
the executive control OF the judiciary
would be followed by sham election to
place in the capital controlled Congress
from which would be eliminated those
members who are now proving that they
cannot be controlled.
Jim Farley and the new deal political
machine have not tried to conceal the TACT
that they will seek to defeat every con-
gresham and senator who do not subserv-
iently do the bidding of The Master
They have come right out in the open with
this announcement, persistently using it to
coerce members of the House and Senate
and force them in line for court packing
David Lawrence is right again when he
says that fighting citizenry must rally TO
the support of half hundred Senators
who are sweating blood in the effort to
save their freedom for the people of the
United States.
And, remember that one thing the OPP
position is counting on heavily is the belief
that this country has fallen upon days
when fighting citizenry is no more, when
the backbones of Americans have been re-
placed with cotton Irvine, when majority
of the citizens of this country are afraid to
fight, will sell their birthright for pottage,
and remain supine and helpless while am
bilious would-be masters of men and their
sychophantic followers destroy the liber-
ties of great people and deprive them of
their God-given rights.

furiously to work to "kick the

rascalS are kicked out, the people

The multiplicity of government
tai and political evils, including
the pardon and the parole evils,
will never be corrected until the
people adopt an attitude of quiet
determination against those evils
and make it their business to
maintain steady offens V @

just as they do against any 9th
er kind of dirt, what kind Of peO-
pie should we be if we never took
a bath except when we became
angry with ourselves for being
dirty? Yet that is precisely the
way we deal with governmental
and political corruption with all
its filth, waste and expense.
| think that a strong committee
in every locality, whose business
it is to study governmental and
political conditions, with sub
committees to study individual
questions, is as necessary to the
welfare and spiritual good of the
locality as the churches them
selves. Such a committee should
be established in every locality,
and public Sentiment built up so
strong against political and gov
ernmental indecency that poll
tician or public official would
as soon go down the street with
out his pants as be guilty of be-
traying the people.

Iry Department before the joint
congressional committee, and 1t
low remains for Congress to plug
10 some loopholes in order to
make the job of some $4,000 pri-

But il would be mistake to
Jay that the Treasury had not lost
\ few tail feathers in the process.
Il ought to be said for the Treas
lry that its primary motive in
outing on this show was to rouse
Congress to the point Of some
remedial legislation, thereby in
creaSing revenues. But there is
circumstantial evidence that the
aSury was unnecessarily
,hooSey in selecting the names
which il tossed out TO the lions.
The Treasury took its first
spanking when conservative lead
erS in Congress turned down its
proposal to have Treasury agents
hold hearings and take charge Of
the publicity. Then Vice PreSi-
dent Garner and Speaker Bank

Although the Treasury had been

ported frauds and evaSions

THE Spanish rebellion today IS
l. one of Fascism against Com
munism, but just about 100 years
ago, Spain was racked by seven
year revolt that split the reigning
family. The war soon grew into
a struggle between constitutional
monarchy and absolute autocracy.
The rift started with the death
of King Ferdinand VII, in 1888.
Without surviving male issue,
Ferdinand left his crown to his
daughter, Isabella II. But Don
Carlos, brother Of Ferdinand, re-
sisted this succession on the basis
of the old Sale law which passed
the country's rule to the deceased
rulers nearest male relative. 5
Supporting Carlos stood the abb
solute rulers of Europe-the Car
of Russia, the Emperor Of Aus
tria and the King Of Prussia.
Against these were England
France and Portugal. For seven
years these opponents fought Bit

were defeated and Isabella contin-

The exhibit took place yesterday
and of all the showingS of this kind
it would be hard to think of a more
delightful atmosphere than was Gre
ated in the sweet little house of the
Poe sisters, located on Cleveland ave-
nue.. Every inch of wall space was
covered with the works of art of these
ladies and as we climbed the stairs we
found that Mrs. Bennett Champ Clark,
wife of Senator Clark of Missouri, was
exhibiting her work also. Proceeding
to the third floor, we found the younger
generation was represented, for there
were hung the pencil sketches by Sen
ator and Mrs. Clark elder son, Champ
Clark, jr., and some very promising
drawings by the great-nepheW of the
ladies of the house, Spencer Lee Hart,
ir., who goes in for airplanes in no
uncertain terms! Among Champ
Clark's cartoons was discovered a head
of his father which bears an amazing
likeness to the Senator.
AS every one knows, Mrs Mclean,
the Poe sisters and Miss Todd have
but recently taken up an artistic
career, and to say that there is an
abundance of latent talent is not an
overstatement. Miss Todd was there
to greet the guests, who were then,
