By WICKES WAMBOLDT

Probably the extreme vicious
ness of, the present war in Spain
can be attributed to the fact that
neither side dares surrender to
the other.
England might have won the
Revolutionary war had not the
Continentals dreaded less to fight
than to surrender. In facr, there
never would have been a Revolu-
tionary war had england been
considerate of the Colonies. That
would have been good for Eng
land and it might not have been
bad for us.
The military success of AleXan-
der the Great was due largely to
the fact that he was not only kind
but generous to those who sur
rendered to hmi. lie made bus
mess of winning to friendship and
the loyalty of those he conquer
ed.
1t is not easy to keep men
fighting to the death against foe
to whom they know they can sur
render safely. A generous enemy
may look good to Il man who is
sick of fighting.

THE 1910 TICKET
News.

The mention of Senator Bailey of North Caro-
lima for the Democratic presidential nomination in
1910 is chiefly significant at this time an index
to the way certain Democratic leaders are think
ing
Senator King, of Utah, puts his ideas rather
clearly, for instance, in saying that the 1910 nom-
inee of the party should be somebody like Senator
Bailey of North Carolina, Byrd of Virginia or
Clark of Missouri" The Utah senator has picked
out prominent Democratic statesmen who have
bucked the New Deal in number of particulars
offer for president next term
And considered merely from the standpoint of
pure political strategy that may be really shrewd
judgment. He evident feels that by 1910 the coun-
try will be tired of what critics refer to as the
era of experimentation, RECOMMENDATION and ex-
travagance.
There is every reason to expect, we are con-
fdent, that there will develop within a few years
stronger trend in this country toward more con-
sentative policies; or, if you please, away from
some of the more extreme attitudes of the New
Deal. The Democratic party will be wise, if it
wishes to remain in power, to reflect that spirit
in its choice of 1910 nominee. Assuming that
President Roosevelt is out of that picture
the possibility of a contest between forces favor
ing some leader of the extreme type like Governor
Earle of Pennsylvania, and those favoring more
conservative statesman. Should the latter win,
national trend toward conservatism would easily
bring great recession in the Democratic tide of

WHAT DOES Mr.. LEWIS WANT?

John l.. Lewis, champion of the c. l. o., showed
signs yesterday of wanting to bite the hand that
feeds him: to-wit, the Democratic administration.
Failure to pass the wages-hour bill, he charges,
shows that Democratic leadership is unable to
carry OUT the party's campaign pledges He de-
manded that its leaders get together for effective
Legislative effort confess that it is not the party
to solve the peoples problems.
Does Mr.. Lewis think he has a proprietary in
terest in the Democratic party? Does he imagine
the large campaign fund his organization contrib
uted to the Roosevelt cause last year and the &C
tive support it gave him enttle him to dictate how
the individual members of the party in house and
senate shall vote? ...
If the obstreperous Mr.. Lewis is in for a
rude awakening.
Southern Democrats blocked the wages-hour bill
because they had every reason to believe it would
spell the death knel to further progress of south
ern industry. 1t would enrich New England and
impoversh the South. Because they voted their
sentiments on this, because they stuck by their
guns when they considered the rights and priVi-
leges of their constituents were menaced by the
wages-hours bill, Southern Democrats are called to
account by John L. Lewis, who wants to be die
tator of American labor in all its branches.
Messrs. Roosevelt and Lewis have seen eye to
eye on many isues and probably Mr.. Roosevelt
approves Mr.. Lewis criticism of the Democrats
who did not play ball the ck-Connery bill,
Mr.. Roosevelt does not like it any more than Mr..
Lewis does. The question is, are Southern Demo-
Gratis to vote they think best on issues of the
day, or are they to be threatened and coerced by
Messrs. Roosevelt and Lewis? Old line Democrats
don't coerce easily.-Abilene (Texas) Reporter

THE GOVERNOR NAMES HIS WIFE TO
SENATE
(By BRUCE CATION

Very few persons in the United States
very few in Alabama even-thought Gov.
Ribb Graves would have the colossal Ell
frontery to name his wife to- the post In
the senate left vacant by Senator Hugo
Blacks ascendancy to the supreme court.
But he did, and the upper house can look
forward to the pleasant, drawing opinions
of Senator Dixie" when congress meets
again in special or regular session, for Mrs.
Graves was an early suffragette leader and
knows her own mind.
From Gov. Graves point Of view there
were number of good and valid reasons
for the appointment of his wife. Best OF
those is the fact that he couldn't resign
from the governorship and take the place
himself, as that is forbidden under Ala
bama law.
Governor Graves is a politician and,
from all appearances, most practical
politician. High state politics are too in
controvertably bound up with national
politics these days to allow golden oppor-
tunities to slip away.
Alabama who would have given little less
than their eye teeth for the appointment
which went to the governors wife. Those
gentlemen will be at the polls next cleo
ton seeking the senate seat and the pre-
election appointment would have been
vast advantage to any of them.
BY naming his own wife the governor
deity avoided pleasing one of the poten-
tial candidates and making enemies of the
others.
More than that, he assured himself of
senator from Alabama whose stand on ma
tional questions and whose ayes and nays
he was pretty sure of, and amiable south
ern senators are none too plentiful these
days.
Senator Dixie has already announced
she is New Dealer and will support the
presidents policies. That will hardly an
noy Mr.. Roosevelt and it certainly won't
hurt the standing of Governor Graves with
the White House. .,.....

tween the two sections whose con.
fiict was climaxed by Lincoln's
death. the great Lincoln. Memorial
in Washington has often beer
called the noblest expression OF
American architecture.
With a simplicity entirely be-
fitting the character of the man
whose memory it perpetuates, the
Memorial was dedicated in 1922
after being under construction
more than 10 years. From the
solid rock beneath the level of the
Potomac, SO feet below the origi-
nal grade, the Memorial towers
1872 feet above that grade. The
platform at its base is 204 feet
long and 1874 feet wide. The COL
onnade is 1873 feet long and ll8
feet wide, the columns "a feet
high and 7 feet S inches in dame

hall is l56 feet long and "a feet
wide.
Outside columns are simple
Doris style and inside columns
are simple Ionic. The marble is
from Colorado. Inside the Memo
rial is a colossal statue of Lincoln,
the work of Daniel Chester

martyred president, raised a few
feet above the floor. The sculp-
tor has caught with remark
able fidelity the character of Lin

WASHINGTON. - Careful re-
" search reveals that Senator
Joe Gufrey's speech reading lead
ers of the court plan opposition
out Of the party was not inspired
by the Roosevelt administration.
II was Joe's own idea.
That certain persons fairly well
up in the administration were not
well aware of what Joe was going
to do, however, is bolder state
ment than one cares to make.
AT one time the senator was
going to include Vice President
Jack Garner in his attack, and
someone or other got to him and
called him off on that. The war
between Garner and Roosevelt is
something like the Japanese
Chinese picnic, or whatever II Is
Things happen. But nobody makes
any declarations and ambassadors
stay put.
The speech was well-written
aho, as was asserted by Senator
Burt Wheeler of Montana, was
written by someone other than
'ne senator from Pennsylvania

the attack on Guffey after his
speech. which attack referred to

nomlc royalists" and his financial
troubles as alien property custo-
aian' one still finds it hard to
mink of this Joseph of Pennsyl-
vania without recalling the Bib
heal Joseph who had coat of

Four nights after Guffey's
speech about "ingrates," he made
labor radio speech defending
the c. /. o. and attacking anti.
union campaigns. He particularly
denounced violence against strik- |

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
PEOPLE TO BLAME

The Gastonia Gazette takes the position that its
fellow townsman Representative A. L. Bulwinklc
is mistaken when he lays the blame for the wild
and profigate extravaganza which is going on in
Washington, at the door of the public.
The Major, in a statement, had been quoted as
saying that during the coming session of congress
there must be further cuts in expenditures and
"our people must realize that the government can
not continue to hand out money for all kinds of
purposes"
According to The Gazette, the people have long
ago come to a realization of the necessity for
drastic economies and are protesting against the
mounting national debt.
The Record agrees that many people are join
ing in demand for drastic curtailment of federal
expenditures.
However we cannot forget that few months
ago when Major Bulwinkle himself, in a conscien-
tious and determined stand for hating further un
necessary appropriations, refused to vote for addi-
tional funds for the proposed Park to Park Blue
Ridge scenic highway.
Representative Bulwinkle even went so far as
to announce publicly that he intended to vote
against every measure appropriating federal funds
for new projects, even though the proposal might
be for a project in his home city of Gastonia.
Right away, great howl was raised all over
North Carolina, and before he heard the last of
the protests the Major very likely. was convinced
that every Tar Heel had Joined in demanding that
he reconsider his decision and vote for the park
way appropriation.
Undoubtedly, that is pretty good example Of

Well, about three years ago Mr.
Guffey was going to the White
House to intercede for his steel
manufacturing friend, Ernie Weir,
whom the first Wagner Labor
Board charged with intimidating
employees against joining unions
and violating NRA's Section IA.
One of Weir'S steel companies is
now accused before NLRB of hav-
ing a "hatchet-gang" which badly
beats up union organizers.
Subsequently Mr.. Guffey has
formed political alliances with
Roosevelt and John L. Lewis and
some people might think that this
was an honest conversion. But il
may be also in point to recall that
some politicians, given a night
gown, can offer superb limitations
of the whirling dervish.
REPUBLICAN tipsters had been
telling your correspondent
that it looked as if Rush Holt, that
item of flaming youth, anti-power
company sentiment and whole-hog
liberalism who came here only to
turn anti-administration and anti
labor in squabble over patronage
whose merits are still obscure, was
seeking to get back on the Roose-
welt reservation. 1t was pointed
out that he had been Singularly
quiet on the debate over WPA,
his pet pecve, and that he had
voted to confirm Senator Black to
the Supreme Court and otherwise
had indicated his desire to be a
good boy"
Careful perusal of Hollis last
day attack on Guffey, in response
to Gulfey'S slurring reference to
Holt, shows that Rush didn't MUIR
muir a word against the Roosevelt
administration. He didn't even
take a crack at John Lewis.
Which, if not significant, certainly
is remarkable.

NEWSPAPER HONESTY

MANY factors enter into the making of news
paper, whether it be large small, and the excel
lence of the finished product naturally depends to
large extent upon the opportunities which it's
field offers to the editor and publisher.
"But there is one fundamental quality which is
important to every newspaper, regardless of its
size, and that is honesty of expression. Comment
ing on this point some time ago, the Montgomery
(Ala) Advertiser said:
What counts injudging the character of a
newspaper is whether it's reasons with intellectual
honesty in arriving at its conclusions or makes
an appeal to prejudices and emotions in order to
influence the reading public to accept its opinions
1--WE may add that every editor frequently faces
the necessity of making decision on this very
point. 1t is easier to tell the reader what he wants
to hear, to take the popular side, to the pack
But it takes courage sometimes to express an opn-
ion, however sound, in opposition to the prevailing
sentiment.
"But in such case no editor worthy of his re-
sponsble calling ever hesitates He gives his hon.
est opinions, regardless of who agrees or idsagrees
with them"
Thus speaks the Toccoa (Ga.) Record. The ed
itorial might well have been addressed to many
politicians who do not seem to have the high ideals
of the average newspaper editor.-Rock Hill, s. c.,
