himself of the opportunity to say, in
effect, 'Well, I've frightened the court
into acsuiescence in my New Deal
program. Acquiescence was all 1 was

Thus he could have saved his face,

SLIM MAJORITY
The President has arguments on
his side, as well as against him.
It is to be remembered that the
Supreme Courts pro-administration
decision on the social security act
was, in part, another of those 5-to-4
findings. In t'-e latest instance the
odd vote was q ,wn the New Deal al
ley, not the otl.cr way, but 5-to-4 is a
narrow margin.
Of the majority Justices Brandeis,
Stone, and Cardozo were three. They
were to have been counted on. Chief
Justice Hughes was a fourth. He is
not regarded by liberals as overly de-
pendable. Justice Roberts was the
fifth, and Roberts, until the Presi-
dent threw a scare" into the court.

Van Devanter is just retiring. Sup

Then suppose that Sutherland re-

Butler
Liberals:
Justices Brandeis, Stone, Cardozo

Old Glory now floats over the

of all that is fine and unified in
American life it is shown here, prob
ably for the first time, created from
a field of wheat-the basic food of
the American people. And again
the flag floats over all; the high
and well-flled heads massed to-
gether form the red stripes, the
blue star field and the staff, tower
ing above other plants in the field.
This project, located in one of
the wheat fields on the farm of
Willard F. Morgan, near Bailey in
Nash County, is the result of ap-
plying American Nitrate of Soda to
the wheat plants forming the red
stripes, the blue star field and the

Executive authority among three

Finally the Committee of the

that a single Executive be chosen

ENFORCEMENT BY
COUNTIES SOUGHT
State Liquor Board to Re-
quire Spending at Least
Five Percent
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
IN tine Sir Walter Hotel.
r. RASKER

Raleiqh, May 31-The various coun-
tv liouor control boards which are not
now spending at least five per cent OF
their net profits for enforcement OF
the State and county liquor control
laws will be required to spend at
1aast this much in enforcement work
while many of the boards Will be urg-
cd TO snend rs much as 10 per cent Tor
better enforcement and for the break
ing ND of bnotlegging, F. Webb Viii
liams. of Elizabeth City, of the State
control board, said today. While many
of the counties have been spending
the five per cent of their net profits
enforcing the law, as tn law requires,
some of the counties have made little
or no effort at enforcement, Williams
said.
1--WE have already sent out letters
to the county boards calling their at
tention to the law and urging them
to make immediate provisions for the
spending of not less than five per
cent of their profits in law enforce
ment," Williams said. I'VE think some
of the counties should spend more
than five per cent, probably as much
as 10 per cent, in enforcing the county
and State control laws, with a particu-
lar view to breaking up bootlegging."
Most of the county boards have
been employing special agents and
undercover men ever since the county
liquor laws went into effect in the
summer or fall of 1885, Williams said,
and many of these have obtained fine
results in stamping out Bookkeeping.
But a few of the counties have little
or no effort at better enforcement.
One county which has had liquor con-
troll for some time has not spent
cent for enforcement, Williams said,
and now has more than $4,000 in its en-
forcement fund, with more coming in
all the time. This county tried to get
a bill through the General Assembly
to permit it to diver this amount into
the general fund.- but failed to get it
passed.
Chairman Guitar Moore, of the
State control board, said that in ad-
dition to urging the counties to make
greater enforcement efforts, the board
intended to put on at least two spe-
cial investigators or detectives to help
the county boards and their officers.
THE main thing we are striving for
is control and to make it rough on
the bootleggers," Moore said.

staff, while the white stars and
stripes received no Nitrate and
made little growth.
The sketch for the flag was made
by L. o. Armstrong, Associate Pro
fessor of Vocational Education
North Carolina State College, and
the project was conducted by T. H
LEROY, Teacher of Agriculture at
Spring Hope, with the assistance of
his class of young Tar Heel
Farmers.
Soon after graduating from Duke
University in 1915, Willard Nor
gan answered the call to the colors.
He saw all the horrors of war
and recently made this statement,

kind of Soda because it helps to
keep money at home and because
it has made the price lower to the

America will need the plant at

stantly ready to produce an ample
Nitrate supply"
Mr.. Morgan, while managing his
large farm which includes $50 acres

Corn and 100 in Wheat, keeping
annually 80 beef cattle and SO hogs,

lima. 1t is generally agreed that this
new commission, when it has been APP
pointed and gets under way, will have
a splendid opportunity to render a
really great service to the people of
the State, especially if it is able to
point out ways and means to improve
the work being done by the schools.
There is a widespread feeling in many
circles that the public schools are too
much IN a rut and following too close
ly the same educational pattern they
followed % and 80 years ago and that
they need to be revamped to meet
new conditions.
The wide scope of the investigation
ordered by the General Assembly is
indicated in Section 1, which says that
the commission shall make a thor
ough examination of the public edu-
cational system of this State, its prac-
teal workings, its organization and di-
rection and the results obtained in
the instruction and education of youth
and in fitting and training them for
life" This section further authorizes
the commission:
1. To examine into any branches of
the subject in order to arrive at a
satisfactory conclusion.
2. To examine into the various laws
providing machinery and procedure
for the administration, control and
supervision of the schools.
3. To examine into the methods en-
ployed in dealing with the officers
and agencies through which school
funds are distributed and with those
employed in dealing with those actu-
ally teaching in the schools.
4. To examine the curricula and
courses of study to see whether or not
they are adequate or advisable and
productive of the best results.
5. To examine and inquire into the
courses now taught and the extent
to which training is now given in vo-
cational training in the high schools
for those who do not desire to pursue
their studies in institutions of higher

UNIQUE IN GOVERNMENT

Something new in hiStory!"
Thus have historians described a
principle of government evolved by
delegates to the Constitutional Con-
vention which met in Independence
Hall, Philadelphia, just a century
and a half ago.
And it was exactly $50 years ago
this Week-from May 80 to June s.
that members of the Convention,
sitting as Committee of the Whole,
first considered seriously that antique
idea.
Briefly, it was the plan of our
Federal form of Republic. combin-
ing a number of states, each with
its own powers, under central gov
eminent with separate executive,
legislative and judicial authority
eign states"
But this was only one Of numerous
Ideas, more or less novel to the polit-
ical thought of the day, that were
introduced, weighed and sifted at
that history making meeting.
Informally its members approved
also the now familiar idea of bal
anced powers among the Executive,
the Legislative and the Judicial De-
partments of the National Govern
ment, which became so distinctive
feature of our American system.
Vigorously the majority of them
fought to put the .reins of authority
in the hands of the people,
Firmly many insisted that both
the Executive and the Legislative
branches be held responsive to the
public will.
Voices notable in American his
tory were raised in the demand for
popular rule and individual rights
when sthe Committee considered
methods of choosing members of the
proposed Congress.
James Madison, Father of the
Constitution" announced that he
considered the popular election of
one branch. of the National Legis-
lature as essential to every plan of
free Government"

Win, Place or Show, it dosnt
matter, for everyone who takes a
hand at solving the cock-eyed puz-
zles presented in the "A Day at
The Races" contest is going to
have whale of lot of fun. OF
course you want to win one of
the 10 prizes being offered, and
it's very possible that you will if
you're ingenious enough.
But the contest, just like the
laugh-filled M-G-M picture around
which it's built, offers so many
good laughs that this is one time
you probably won't care boot if
you don't emerge as a winner.
If you haven't entered the con-
test until today we might inform
you that it's very simple.
On Tuesday we published the
first in a series a picture puzzle
like the one accompanying this
story. Each picture offers a
series of easily traceable clues
that will give you a solution to
the identity of former Marx
Brothers screen hit or the name
Of noted picture star.
After you've assembled the en-
tire series you must then write a
Mad-Marx Line of not more than
ten words.
A Mad Marx line is an allitera-
ton that might run like this:
Meet Mad Marx Men Meander-
ing Merrily Making Moo Moo.
It's crazy, we agree, but so are
the Marx brothers as you'll agree
when you see them on the Loew's
Palace screen starting Friday,
July 9, in "A Day at the Races"
That's positively more fun than a
vacation each week for the next
two years.
But getting back to our contest.
After you've solved all five picture
