strike and enter subsequent ne
gotiations, he warded off newspa-
per correspondents by saying:
Let there be no moaning at the
bar, when | put out to sea-"
A couple of his subordinates
who spotted the origin of the poet
ical paraphraSe, shivered lest some
of their chiefs enemies should
pounce upon this and ridicule him.
The line came from TennySon's
Crossing the Bar" which has to
do with death. AT the time no
one here was sure whether Lewis
was setting off toward a tragic
disaster to his career or to victory.
That verse goes:
Sunset and Evening Star
"And one clear call for me.
"And may there be no moan
ing at the bar
"When I put out to sea-"
CPEAKER WILLIAM B. BANR-
~ HEAD, who has served in
Congress 20 years, was telling
stories ut a party he gave for his
beahtiful actress-daughter, Tai
lulah, here recently. He started
TO describe how the, boys down
home at Jasper, Ala, had fixed il
up to give him big welcome re-
ception to celebrate his elevation
to the speakership.
"You mean them hill-billies,
Daddy" piped Tallulah.
"Sure;" said the speaker, I'm a
hill-billy."
"Well, there were flags and
bunting all over town. The bands
were out and there was an old
fellow down from the hills and he
wanted to know what was going
on. They told him: Billy Bank

Editor Times-News:
For nearly two months we have
had it on our hearts to write let
ter for publication in YOUR valu-
able paper with reference to the
automobile license tag fGas which
automobile owners have to. pay the
State of North Carolina.
This matter has been brought
very clearly to US only today when
we found some of our best citi-
zens, and no doubt thousands of
them, who own an automobile
worth from SO to $50, on which
they have been unable to pay the
eXorbitant and outrageous price
which an automobile tag costs in
this state.
Here's a man, for instance, with
car worth $500, an old truck,
who lives five miles in the coun-
try, and the license tag for this
truck, is in round numbers.
$500. For seven weeks this citi-
zen has had to walk, has had to be
without that truck, which is the
instrument which enabled him to
make a living for himself and fam
lily. Nearly two months have been
lost, and we are sure that there
are hundreds of good citizens Nv
ing in our state who are deprived
of a way of making living, de-
prived of the use of their automo-
bile or truck, solely and simply be-
cause the State of North Carolina
is unjust, is unreasonable, and
puts this terrible tax, which rests
so heavily upon the poor, the Lord
SAYS that we have the poor with
us always, and some of the best
men and women that tread this old
earth are very, very poor III world
ly goods.
In South Carolina, our sister
state, which we believe has better
roads and very much less manu-
featuring interests to tax, that IL
cense would be less than one
fourth what it costs in North Car
DINA. Think Of it, four times rs
much. The automobile owners i'll
North Carolina have TO pay from
three to four times as much for
their license as in the States of
South Carolina and Georgia, and
nearly twice as much as IN the
State of Tennessee.
Two years ago we were terribly
burdened because of this situation
and hundreds of our citizens on
January /, 1885, were hauled into
court as though they were 4 bunch
of crooks and criminals because
they could not secure their license
plate by that time, and great hard
shin was caused to thousands OF
our good citizens.
The legislature was to meet at
lust that time, and we began a
single-handed campaign for lower
license tags, and spent personally
over $4,000 in cash and much
more than that in time, in 4 cam
paign against this outrage.
We wrote letters which were
published in n number Of our pa
perS, we held SeNeral meetings III
our town and county, and we Sc
cured the signatures of there
thousand automobile owners to a
petition, asking the state lcgis!a-
ture for a license tag fee of not
more than $500, and further ask
ING them to refund the car own
ers the overcharge which they had
already been compelled to pay for
that year.
Other people in other parts OF
the state followed and began n
publicity campaign and the crpre-
sentatives at Raleigh began to in
troduce bills which finally result
ed in passing an automobile IL
cense tag law with small reduc-
tion i'm the fee in June, or just be-

THOUGHTS WHILE THINKING

Tf | should apply for govern
mental relief" protests man,
"and il could be shown that ! had
a job waiting for me, / could not
get dime Of relief money. Now
eight thousand families of strikers
have been added to the Michigan
relief rolls, yet the heads of those
families have jobs waiting for
them whenever they will go to
work. Under those circumstances
isn't the government actually SUBJ
sidizing the John l.. Lewis auto
mobile sit-down strike?-and is it
fair to make us taxpayers pay for
it,"
A worker who has been ordered
by his union to strike is in tight
place. 1t may be impossible for
him to 90 to work, no matter how
much he wants to. Not only would
he have to break his union pledge,
but he would have to face taunts,
insults, and perhaps physical as
sault from his fellows. Yet his
innocent family will starve and
freeze unless given food and fuel.
A union member is much like a
soldier-he must obey the orders
Of his supcriors-or else.
ManifeStly we have come to the
pass where something must be
done to compel the settlement of
differences between employers
and employees. These strikes are
deadly things, and are becoming
intolerable; they are terrible alike
to the workers, the employers and
the public.

and more dependent on centraliz-
