MR.. RoosEVELr's DETECTIVES

Rooirnine his sixth wear in the White House.
President Roosevelt reiterated that he is still pur-
suing his detectives. What were the American peo-
ME told were his detectives when ne was campaign
ing in 1882? Were those not the detectives to
which he was pledged by platform and by promises
on the hastings!
The objective of repeal of the 18th Amendment
10 the United States Constitution attained, but
what of the others? Some Of them were:
Immediate and drastic reduction of government
tai expenditures to accomplish a saving of not less
than rs per cent in the cost Of federal government
Abolition of many commissions, bureaus and
boards.
Maintenance of the national credit by balancing
the budget annually keeping disbursements within
revenues.
Revision of the tariff downward.
Preservation Of sound currency.
Speaking at Pittsburgh few days before the
election in 1882, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
Il regard reduction in federal spending as one
of the most important issues in this campaign. III
my opinion it is the most direct and effective con-
tributiOn that government can make to business.
Before any man enters my cabinet he must give
a twofold pledge of, first absolute loyalty to the
Democratic platform and especially the economy
plank; and, second, complete cooperation with me
looking to economy and reorganization Of his de-
partment. -.
"Our federal extravaganza and nmprovidence
bear double evil our whole people and our bust
cannot carry its excessive burdens of taxation;
second, our credit structure is impaired by the I'M
orthodox federal financing made necessary by the
unprecedented magnitude of these deficits
Sound currency has been preserved at all haz-
ards by taking forty-one cents out Of every dollar
and making the federal treasury the worlds great
est hoarder of gold. Government by this perform
ance repudiated Al per cent of the face value Of its
bonds.
Why labor the position? Mr. ROosevelts record
is v,itten. His detectives when he was denouncing
the hover regime scathingly We're plainly dis
closed They were emphasized He emphasized
them At intervals, he has intimated that he would
return to some of these detectives, the balancing
of the budget for one and the reduction of federal
expenditures for another. If Mr.. Roosevelt had
pursued the detectives he assured the American
people he would pursue the skies would be bright

EDUCATION?

We ought to set our faces against this tendency
to mix up such things educational training with
politics and economics 1t has reached the pass that
if person believes in classical education ne IS
condemned as being fascist. According to that
definition, the fathers of American democracy were
all fascists One cannot read the FederallSt, with
out realizing how indebted Hamilton, Madison and
Jay to Aristotle and the classical philosophers
And one often wishes that our present legislators
and orain trusters had had the same training IN
methodeal thinking, and were half as familiar with
the accumulated wisdom of the past.
Yes, foresee a parents revolt. And lot OF
teachers will join it. Some day the parents are
going to rise up and demand that the teachers IN
our schools spend less of their time getting teach
ers' college credits in the technique Of teaching
subject, and learn more about the subject they
teach Our teachers know how to teach history,
according to the most approved methods, but they
are without passionate interest in history. They
know how to teach Latin, but they are not Imoued
with either the spirit of the language or the spirit
of the world it expressed. Many of them would get
much more that they could transmit to their pupils,
out of vacations in Athens OF Sicily than out Of
vacations spent taking teachers college course.
But they have to take the course, because without
the credits they can't expect promotion And since
they are one of the worst paid classes in our So
ciety, promotion matters to them.-Dorothy Thomp

DIR. MORGAN'S POSITION

DR.. Arthur E. Morgan, chairman of the Tennes-
see Valley Authority, is not only manifesting high
courage but rendering distinct public service IN
refusing to resign from his position and insisting
that the cause in which he has declared himself be
taken to the American people through the medium
of congressional investigation
There is far more than the IVA itself, lmpor-
tant as that program is per Sc involved in the con-
trovery which has been raging for months and
which has now worked itself to the surface with
the demand of DR.. Morgan's two fellow-memDers
on the authority that he quit and President Roose-
velts agreement, by inference at least, IN their
custer proposal. While not so dramatic or specs1c-
ular as the supreme court ISSUE virtually the same
principles are at stake they apply to govern
mental procedure and the functioning Of demo-
cratic processes.
Dr. Morgan's charges are specific and serious
enough to call for investigation of themselves Re-
ferring to the Berry case, the beleaguered Official
has asserted that it represents the kind OF dlftl-
Guilty with which, as chairman of the IVA board,
l nave been faced in the effort to maintain good
standards of public service in the face of coall-
ton of two members of the board which has placed
me in the position of minority member. To q
steadily increasing degree. l have contended with
an attitude of conspiracy, secretVeness and ou-
reaucratic manipulation, which has made the proper
and effective conduct of IVA business increasingly
difficult If those charges are not sufficient to
call for clarity there are the more deeply imbedded
considerations that IVA policy has never been def-
nitely determined that congress authorized its es-
tablishment for one purpose and its revealed pur-
poses are now manifold and that full facts bearing
our DR.. Morgans charges Of secretiveness, have
never yet been made available to the American
public which is footing the bill.-Greensboro News.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
by RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON - The la test
" mass trial Of the "old bolShe-
T.ks" in Russia may remind you
hat the Soviet government is
IT'LL holding an American woman
named Mrs. Ruth Marie RUbens
n prison under bizarre circum-
stances and that our government
seems in no hurry to choose an
American ambassador TO succeed
Toe Davies, who is being moved
% Belgium.
Those last two facts are not en-
tirely unrelated. Mrs. Rubens
and her husband, who had trav-
aled on false passports under the
name of Robinson, disappeared in
Moscow last December. After
much fuss and inquiry the Rus
sian government admitted their
arrests. Under the Roosevelt
Litvinov agreement upon which
American recognition of the u. S.
5. R. was contingent, American
diplomatic officers were pr ivileged
to visit such prisoners without
delay.
Only after the heaviest diplo-
matte pressure, applied by the
State Department under White
House orders, was the American
charge d'affaires at Moscow, 10y
Henderson, permitted to see Mrs.
Rubens and identify her as an
American citizen-and then under
restrictions which irrita t e d
higher-up officials. Only few
questions were allowed and those
had to be asked and answered
through an intermediary. Mrs.
Rubens was represented as saying
she wanted no assistance from the
embassy.
The State Department has no
assurances that the woman will
ever come Out alive. Officials sus-
pect she is being used as witness
against her husband, who is a spy
suspect, and that her answers tc
questions were m de under
threats as Ito his or her own
safety.

easily could have been avoided.
Formal denial that Mr.. Roose-
welt would pocket any money
from the sales, coupled with as
surance that MS profits would be
devoted to a useful public pur.

came only after critics had hurled
their sharpest barbS and friends
had moaned in despair. The ques-
ton naturally arises as to why, il
Roosevelt originally didn't near
to pocket the money, that fact
COULDN'T have been made clear ir
the first place. AS it is, the delay
in explanation has given the
sharpshooterS a chance to hint
that their attacks forced a change
of plans and public disavowal OF
a personal profit motive, :
The fact that the President has
been so blase in the Face of pub

ness by younger RooSevelts and
members of his official family I'M
doubte3ly made it easier for COM

THIS HELPS TO AN UNDERSTANDING

Talking about political conditions IN
South Carolina, the Charleston News ana
Courier refers to 1876, when the federal
government was seeking by force to con-
troll and cOerce the Palmetto State.
The Charleston newspaper asserts that
today there are in South Carolina three
times as many federal office holders as
there were federal soldiers and cOnstables
in 1876.
South Carolina was able to break the
shackles of federal domination in 1876,
but we agree with The News and Courier
there is little hope the State will be able
to escape the tolls in 1888. With large
percentage of the population on federal
payrolls in official positions, and larger
number drawing subsidies of one kind and
another from the Washington government,
it will be practically impossible to throw
off federal control of South Carolina today.
The office holders and their families and
friends, and the various classes of benei-
Charles of the activities of our national
Santa Claus, and their families and friends,
control sufficient votes to carry any South
Carolina election. That they will carry the
1888 elections for the new deal Santa Claus
candidates is a foregone conclusion.
South Carolina is not alone, however, in
it's degradation at this time. AS far as con-
ditions go it has the company of At other
States. Conditions are not so bad in some
States as to make it certain that Santa
Claus can win all the 1888 elections; but
all are subject to the pressure arising from
the efforts of legions of federal office hold
ers and the benign influences of subsidies,
handouts and scores of schemes to tie the
voters to the new deal.
Here in North Carolina the federal Of
flee holders swarm and the other classes
referred to are as numerous as plague of
locusts. Of course there will be no serious
effort made in North Carolina to avoid the
sweet influences of the distribution of
Santa Claus favors and it is certain that
the tribe of office holders will increase
steadily as it has been doing. We don't
know exactly how many federal soldiers
and agents were stationed in North Caro-
lima in 1876, but our honest conviction is
that the office holders and various grades
of job holders today will outnumber them
10 to l.
What's the use, however, of wasting
time considering conditions? The people
pay the costs of ali these things and the
salaries of all these people. We suppose
when they become tired of paying, or go
bankrupt ard can no longer pay, they will
do something highly unpleasant to the
demagogues responsible for the whole pro-
gram.

give heart to the valiant minority
which is fighting for honesty in

would take up the fight, integrity
in Matters political would make
great strides forward. However,
before some churches could ever

have to GUST politicians from the
