NOT EVEN PINKISH

In answer to The Marion Star, which confesses
that at can still refrain from calling the president
a socialist or red' and politely inquiries if the
News and Courier can make ga similar statement
truthfully," we say can not only refrain from
saying that the president is socialist or a red
but that we have never limited that he was, that
we believe him to be convinced and saturated
capitalist, stepped in the love of private property
What the president is politically and economically,
we have not the remotest idea, nobody else has,
but we do know that he is not socialist or a
'sred." He processes to believe in democracy
and '"more democracy, and the quantity of it
that we now have on hand is about to destroy the
republic Believing in as little government as pos
sible and suspectng all government at all times
THAT is Jefersonan), The News and Courier has
a certain kinship with irrecOncable differences,
with the anarchists and admits that it is therefore
somewhat reddish The president believes in puff
ing up government, and we think that 900 of
the $4,000 civil officers and employees of govern
ment should be dismissed in the next two or three
years and more thereafter. That is not Socialism,
but it is positively red and we would like to see a
tremendous stripping down of state government,
too.-Charleston News and Courier.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
HOW ABOUT GIVING THE PUBLIC WHITE
HOUSE AUDIENCE?

In his eager effort to find what ails the country
and what to prescribe when the germ has oeen
isolated, the President is going through series
of important consultations.
He is having representatives of Big Business to
come to the White House and sit around the table
His plan is to follow up with representatives OF
Big Labor in order to get its views
And this is all we'll and good.
But there is further conference that might be
found profitable in the present equation-a con-
ference between the President and representatives
of the Big Public.
Big Business is not the Big Public.
Nor is Big Labor the Big Public.
The Big Public is unorganized disntegrated
and inarticulate, but it is the important public OF
all the American people.
1t is the middle class in the social business, IN
dustrial, financial and economic brackets
And less so perhaps than any other Glass; 1t has
a selfish axe to grind.
Big Business and Big Labor relatively preJu-
diced. They are the extreme minortles and each
is equipped with ful-grown set of bristles
Traditionaly, they are at enmity, clashing with
each other for the selfseeking advantages that lie
in the pot ." "'
But the middle class, the Big Public of America,
standing in between these two poles-apart mnor-
ties, is usually caught and crushed by the upper
and the neither milestone of Capital and Labor, and
just as usually catches the brunt of the mischief
wrought from their collisions
Mr.. Roosevelt might do well to get the views
and opinions of representatives of this Big Public
in his quest for testimony bearing upon the log
jam that seems to have been reached.
" Measurably, this middle class would give him
evidence that issues from spirit of dispassion and
detachment from the social selfishness which ami
mates ninorities.
" We believe that the President would discover a
lot of good to reside in this bracket of the
American people.
We know he would find tremendous amount
of patriotic zeal and purpose, for America is a
middle-cIass country of farmers, school teachers,
little store-keepers, cross-road merchants preach
ers clerks, doctors, lawyers, housewives and
vast army of other unorganized working men and
white colared employees unidentified either with the
partisan rich or the prejudiced poor
Let the President call them in and see what they
think about the situation.-Charlotte Observer

THE AVERAGE NEGRO DOESN'T CARE

What's the rush in that anti-lynching matter up
at Washington that everything must stop right
now when the nation needs other things done, and
the time be used up in trying to run such a meas
ure through congress? From the feverish haste on
the part of the advocates of the bill, one would
think that half the population of the South is in
eminent danger of being lynched in cold blood.
And it is being pushed by the Democrats, too.
What's the idea? Playing for the negro votes?
WE'LL if so, it might cool the ardor of the advocates
of the measure if they knew that the average south
ern colored person cares nothing at all about
whether the bill is made law or not. The great
big majority of the negroes of the South are pa
triotic law abiding citizens and they not afraid
of state protection, and they have very little more
sympathy for the negroes who get lynched in the
South than the average white person.-Mocksville

Dodd had the Interesting and
perhaps unique experience of
finding that some Of his confiden-
tial acknowledgement reports to
Secretary Hull and the President
were being leaked to outsiders.
He got so that he wrote his most
confidential reports in his own
handwriting, but he found that
even these were not safe from
publicity. Although Dodd COM
monty was understood to be hor-
rified by Nazi methods, these
revelations made his position not
only embarrassing but practically
impossible.
Such officials as UnderSecretary
of State Sumner Welles, Chief Jay
Pierrepont Mofrett Of the. Euro
pean Affairs division, Political Re-
lations Adviser James Clement
Dunn and Hugh Wilson--who sue
ceedS Dodd as ambassador-were
considerably less than sympathetic
toward Dodd's pro-democratic, an
ti-fasciSt feelings. Roosevelt and
Hull, however, were unwilling to
repudiate Dodd and kept him at
Berlin long after he was persona
non grata to Hitler.

to stay in Berlin until March.

A STATESMAN SPEAKS

Said Carter Glass, senator from Virginia, at
Clinton, N. Y, October 80:
ANY United States senator or public officer
should be thankful if he finds himself in accord
with the sentiment of the people. But he should
never get in accord by sacrifice of his intellectual
integrity of his enlightened conscience and
these l always undertake to observe in deciding
public questions" -....,...

of Carter Glass, and if the majority of his col
leagues in the senate accepted the same yardstick

Lexington, because trucks Of the
farmers and hucksters blocked
entrances to stores. He said the

merchants who had stores and

called the produce laden vehicles

represented unfair competition.

morning before the hour of pipe

confides quietly, as though |

farm in South Carolina.

how many cotton farmers would
like to get into Guys shoes: What
greater curse could be wished on
GUY than to burden him with a

WANTED-AT OMEGA SOLOMON
FOR BIG JOB

The TimeS-News has received requests
to solve, or attempt to aid in solving, Hen
dersonville'S cow problem. We regret to
report that this family journal is not equal
to the demands of our fellow citizens who
have asked for assistance, or suggested
that we give the city fathers the benefit
of our knowledge and opinions. . .~..
A modern Solomon, if there be one left
in this present day, might be able to rem
der assistance in this intricate and vexing
case. This newspaper is convinced of its
total incapacity and inadeqqacy. to serve
as an arbitrator. .. .... s.&ia asta zoe
The Times-News has presented the views
of several citizens who are enthusiasts for
cow keeping in the city limits and, IN "a
briefer way, some of the facts which have
been "put up to" the city administration
and law enforcement officers by complain
ing citizens and visiting residents. il 1t is
clear this is one of those problems which
can never be settled to the satisfaction of
everybody concerned or both sides to the
controversy. e.. KS - la=l-
There is probably no answer to the as
sertions of certain citizens made as. to their
need for the production of their COWS! No
doubt there are some who cannot maintain
their position on these grounds, but that
does not settle the problem as to the others.
On the other side, what straight think
ing, reasonable citizen can fail to appreei-
ate the position and feelings of fellow
citizen whose flowers and/or vegetables
have been devoured by predatory COW
on the rampage? -. .. .-
What property owner not engaged IN
keeping COWS enjoys the spectacle of see
ing his beautiful front yard utilized for
the location of manure pen by the afore-
said rampaging bovines? or enjoys the
spectacle of seeing carefully. prepared
flower and garden plots ripped and torn
by plunging animals on the loose?
1t is practically certain the ,tieing7out of
cows is the cause of much of the damage
done to property by the animals; and it
has been suggested by some citizens that
a law be enacted against this practice.
This probably would be no more practical
than the present plan or than any other
which has been suggested. Citizens who
have no proper place to accommodate cows
would not be relieved by prohibition of
tieing-out. Neither would the problem of
ventilating and pertaining highly scented
cow stables be thereby solved.
Thus it is all up and down the contested
battle front of the cow problem.
What are the city fathers finally going
to do about it? il 49,.
What can they do about it? .-a, ..
Certainly they can do nothing which
will satisfy everybody. That is foregone
conclusion-probably the only certainty
involved in the whole matter.

the Charlotte Chamber of Com
mcrcc, president Of the Carolina

speaking in Wayncsville recently,
is quoted by the Mountaineer as
telling the RotarianS what this
section needs. Here's his plain
talk, the like Of which we have
occasionally heard around home
"Mr. Roberts pointed out that
increased travel in this section
was already noted, and that in the
near future the present facilities
would not accommodate the peo-
pie. But what we need most he
said, is a general Improvement

where the doors won't lock, where
