Attendants, doll-like maids with top-heavy
head dresses, exchanged their shoes for sandals,
relieved them of overooats and hats and led
them to an upstairs inner room. Their feet
sank into the inch thick mat. They sat cross
legged, refreshed faces and hands on rolled
hot towels, and tried to warm their fingers
above the inadequate Goals of the h'bacht.
It was the first time Red had seen her so near
without an overcoat. She was lovely, her
young body nodded within printed frock
with great splashes of color. The flesh of her
neck and arms had an amber glow that
matched the bronze of her head.
One of the panels slid back and they were

how to use her chopsticks. Touching her
fingers gave him an odd thrill and he fingered
over the job until color came and went in her
cheeks. But chopsticks take learning. When
she missed, he would feed her - like feeding
a solemn-eyed child. They ate until they
could eat no more. The entire bar, including
the chef, revolved on pivot and passed
through the panel, leaving them alone They

to the whole court and not to It's tory members
alone as a militant liberal minority might force a

Obviously the delay is not all on the high court S
part The Wagner act has been on the statute
books for months now; yet when crisis after CRISIS
has arisen, there has been no disposition on the
administrations part to utilize its provisions Ra-
Their there have been administrative inertia and
utilization of the courts failure to act as ammuni-
ton for the fight upon the Judiciary. The high
court. it has been declared repeatedly, has held
back legislation and is directly responsible for the
serious situation which has developed.
The Wagner act, as matters now stand Is the
law of the land and will so remain until and unless
the court rejects it as unconstitutional. The gov
ernment therefore has full power and response

sharp and revealing contrast to the manner IN
which Washington moved ahead under the MIA

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
DOES GOVERNMENT CoNpoNE CRIME ?

These comments of the Greenville News on Sem
ator Byrnes' resolution to place the senate rec
ord as Disappearing sit-down strikes are loaded:
"Why, one wonders, should the Senate have any
hesitation in adopting such a resolution? 1t would
carry no coercve force, nor attempt to inject fed
eral police powers into a situation which would
not otherwise require them. 1t is merely dec
laration of policy of the American government
against such methods What can be the sound OBJ
lection to that? One would have supposed that it
is automatic that the sit-down strike is contrary to
our basic political principles in this country; that
unlawful possession of property cannot be con-
doned Yet when the Senate is asked merely to
say so as formal expression of the attitude of
this government toward such things, it huns, hawS
and stammers! 1t is high time-past time-that
some definite expression of the governmental att-
tude toward such strike methods were made. Or
dnariy the question to what is our government
tai position to such things would hardly have
been even raised: just as one would not think oil
raising the question as to what the governments
position is toward any other form of lawessness or
illegal action. But under the existing circum-
stances, condonement of these methods has actual
" been imputed by critics to high governmental
officials. Such imputations having been made, and
certain labor organizations having encouraged the
belief that they have the taet approval OF the gov

10 conclusions as 10 the qucS-
ton Of MIR. Roosevelt in re-

campaign. But there is no law
against speculation or discussion,
and anyone may safely resign
himself to hearing more and more
about it from now on, unless
Roosevelt cmphatically rules HIM
self out of the picture.
There will be polls designed to
measure public sentiment for
Roosevelt and for the other pres
idential possibilities. These polls
will be watched with intense in
terest.
A peculiar situation will result
If it turns out that the President
is far more of a popular favorite
to succeed himself than any other
public man. If the polls do begin
to pan out that way there will be
a great howl for a declaration
from Roosevelt himself.
The polls, IN fact, already have
begun. Fortune Magazine has
taken a poll on the question OF
whether public opinion favored a
third term for F. D. R. 1t found
that only 43.6 per cent opposed a
third Roosevelt term, that 48.4 PEI
cent favored it-nearly half or
the proviso that his second term
is successful-and 8 per cent
didn't know.
Only 26 per cent declared
against the idea solely on the
ground that no one should serve
more than two terms. 1t is easy
to believe this section included
many who would naturally Oppose
Roosevelt.

TRYON HORSE SHOW AND HENDER-
SONVILLE'S PROSPECTS FOR
THE SUMMER ..

The Tryon horse show, last and largest
entertainment feature of the Winter and
Spring season in that popular resort, IS
scheduled for next Wednesday, April IA,
at the usual place, Harmon Field, in the
Pacolet valley. The promise of this exhibit
ton this season is that in every particular
it will reach the standards which have
been attained through years OF effort and
the presentation of a show which draws
and delights large crowds from many
States and sections of the United States.
Reports coming from Tryon are that the
horse show and the other attractions OF
the town and section have brought togeth-
or this season one of the largest crowds
seen there in years. The capacity OF the
town for the entertainment of visitors Is
taxed to the limit.
This condition at Tryon is, OF course,
very encouraging to the promoters OF the
horse show and to all the business interests
of the place; and it holds out encourage
ment to Hendersonvile and this section for
the Summer months when the tourist tide
turns this way.
All the indications at Tryon testify to
the correctness of the view that the tourist
business continues to expand. This is true,
also, of the Winter season III Florida, and
of the annual Spring movement of tourists
to Charleston and the low country of South
Carolina.
All of the evidence from these resorts
and resort sections supports the statement
that large part of the population OF the
country is moving around, going places
and will be coming to the mountains in the
hot months. Unquestionably, prosperous
season is just ahead for Hendresonvllle
and this section 1t will be acceptable and
heartily welcomed after the several lean
years endured here in the past decade.
Rports from local sources indicate that
the entertainment resources of Henderson
vile and the surrounding country will be
taxed heavily to take care of the business
which will begin to flow in within the next
thirty days. Citizens who expect to do
business with the visitors will act wisely by
making preparations in advance to take
advantage of the opportunities which viii
be presented a little later. ...
The entire population of the city and
section should be prepared to meet the de-
mands of a volume of tourist business
which all informed persons are contiden,
is going to be record breaking.
