LESSON

Many people are already wondering if President
Roosevelt has learned his lesson in politics from
Tuesdays primaries in South Carolina and Cali
forna Some reports indicate that the president is
STALL adamant in his determination to purge from
his ranks all men who refuse to yes" everything
he asks If So it is going to be sad day for him,
for the Democratic party, for the New Deal and
for the nation.
Unfortunately for President Roosevelt he is be-
ing advised by Impractical men who are promoting
programs that can never have permanency and un-
fortunately the president refuses to listen to men
in his own party who have sound judgment and
who are learned in craftsmanship
Why did President Roosevelt virtually pass a
falsehood to Senator Smith in his brief radio talk
at Greenville when he referred to South Caro-
linians living on fifty cents day." He was poor
ly advised.
Why does President Roosevelt not want Senator
George faithful and high-minded legislator, in
the halls of congress? He wants rubber stamps.
President Roosevelt will find his power over con
gress much Debated during the next two years as
he will find that presidential purges have
serious Blackjack and that some of the rubber
stamps of the past six years will now take courage
and vote their convictions rather than await their
masters voice."-Rock Hill, S. c.. Herald,

HOLD FIRE!

When it was rr,mored that the president was con
sidering Sherman Mnton, Indana's blatant and un
restrained senator for the vacancy on the supreme
court. we refused to bite Sherman Mlnton is. OF
course the last man for this high place. In all
probability, the only reason his name was men
toned at all was to bait the newspapers, which
have private quarrel with him.
Now it is rumored that the president is consid-
ering Governor Johnston of South Carolina for the
vacant federal judgeshp in that state The presi-
dent is said to feel that he should console Governor
Johnston for losing the senatorial nomination which
he earnestly wished Cotton Ed Smith not to have.
Again we refuse to bite, not because it is in
credible that the president should daily with the
thought of expressing his rancor at being turned
down by the people of South Carolina but because
mature elaboration and even the Sketchiest of in
vestigation should convince him that Gov. Johnston
is not, judicial timber Surely, the executive head
of this country is above such spitework.-Charlotte

WAR CLOUDS DISCLOSE A TOUCH OF
SILVER
CRy BRUCE CATION

There is one curious by-prOduct of the
current war scare whjCh-years hence,
when the scare has died dOwn-will be
recognized as something pretty valuable,
That is the tremendous impetus which the
scare has given the development of avia-
ton
\ world which looks forward to war
sees the airplane principally as a weapon
So. as with all other weapons, 1t strives
frantirally to improve it. Engineers and
designers i'm all countries get a free hand: ;
nothing is left undone to increase the
speed, carrying capacity. and cruising
range Of the sky ships.
rs long as the threat Of war is black on
The horizon. this makes rather Shlvery
reading. As a weapon, the alrplane has
must dreadful possibilities. If nothing
comes of this vast activity except increased
possibilities for destruction, the world Is in
bad case indeed.
But in the long run the airplahe is only
secoudarily weapon. 1t is the fastest
means of transportation mankind has yet
devised. and over the years its usefulness
should far outweigh its destructlveneSS.
Aud wecause of the present war-Scare.
progress in airplanc design and conStruc-
ton is going forward these days very much
faster than would otherwise be possible.
We sometimes forget how completely
our modern world is built around the idea
of fast transportation and speedy cOmmu-
nications. The world economy Of today
may he a disiOinted and chaotic thing, but
II works to the extent that it does work
only because it is served by a network of
rapid carriers. And if this is true in the
world scene. it is even more true OF our
own domestic situation.
In America. for instance, upwards OF
300 600. 900 letters al carried annually by
air. Some 100000 people travel by air
each wear. More than 10000 planes are
kept busy on commercial jobs, carrying
mail, people. and express across the coun-
try. If the railroad and the automobile
played major role in welding our coun-
try into a unit, the airplane is beginning to
occupy an equally important place
All OF thus means SOlldafltY, community
of interest, understanding. 1t also means
wider markets, greater chance for COM
4 mercial and industrial expansion, freer
and farther flow of trade. Anything that
moves goods faster and more efficiently
must, in the long run. mean greater pros
perity.
And so, ultimately, these very trying
DAYS which we are living through now will
give us an extremely useful by-product. 1t
may he perfectly true that what we get
will hardly be worth the danger that is
affecting world civilization. But it is at
least comforting to reflect that out of to-
days nervous, anxious confusion there will
come something, at least, that will be of
permanent value to the race.

were both amazed and aroused when
the full import Of President Roose-
velt's bill to increase the membership
Of the highest court was made known
last year. Had he been willing to go
along with the President-as did the
then Senator Hugo L. Black of Ala
bama-there seems no slightest doubt
that Mr.. George would have been
sitting pretty right now, either on the
Supreme bench or in the present con.
test for reelection to the Senate.
He may be sitting pretty yet, after

certain that Senator George can be
dislodged. Indeed, many of his friends
insist he will win denomination. But
no one knows just how far the Pres
ident Is prepared to 60 in an effort
to dislodge the Senator.
Much Pressure to Be Needed.
The President will have to exert all
the pressure he is capable OF exerting
if Senator George is to be eliminated
White House promises and public
funds are difficult to resist, it is
true, and the President is slated
to speak in Georgia in August.
But the so-called New Deal candi-
date against Senator George is,
according to reports, no ball of fire.
He has already been campaigning but
has not caught on. If he is to 70
places, it must be because the Pres
ident is able to make him 20, and
because he has the support Of Gov.
Rivers and his organization.
The New Deal candidate Is Lawrence
Camp. United States attorney for the
northern district of Georgia He was
an ally Of Senator Russell and worked
for the latter's election in his contest
against former Gov. Eugene Talmadge
IN the Senate race two years ago.
While Russell was Governor, he ap-
pointed Camp attorney general of the
State. In well-informed quarters il
Is now reported that Senator Russell
desires to keep hands off in the sena-
torial contest which reaches a climax
September 6. In fact, it is said that
Russell dsliked to see Camp enter the
race. Russell. however, is an ardent
New Deal supporter, and what would
happen if the President should exert
his influence in that quarter is some
thing to ponder.
Senator George Is not threatened
alone by this New Deal candidate.

The Political Mill
Friends of Senator George Think He Can Win
Nomination, Even If White House Exerts Pressure.

He Is opposed by former Gov. Tai
madge, who has said more unkind
things about President Roosevelt and
his New Deal than any other Demo-
Graf In Georgia or In many other
States. And fourth contender for
the senatorial nomination Is William
g. McRae, who has the support OF
the Townsend oed-age pension group.
Talmadse Has Good Following.
Talmadge has q certain following
which probably will stick to him no
matter what. This vote may be as
high as rs per cent of the total vote
cast, or 1t may be considerably lower,
depending upon a variety of things.
His entrance into the race on the
surface splits the anti, NewADeal DEM
ocrats in the State and might be
figured as an advantage to Mr.. Camp.
On the other hand, II there seemed q
chance for Talmadge to win the
nomination, 1t might work for the
immediate nomination Of Senator
George.
The county unit" system prevails
IN Georgia elections for Governor and
Senator. It is relic Of the days
OF the late tom" Watson and was
set up with the idea of giving the
rural vote . better chance. Under
this system the candidate for Sena-
tor who receives the highest vote
1t does not have to be q majority
gets the whole county unit vote. The
Stofa hoe 40 80
most populous counties have six coun-
ty unit votes. Thirty or forty counties
have four such votes, and the re-
mainder, the least populous counties,
have two each. For nomination a
candidate must receive a majority of
the total county unit votes. If there
is no majority the two receiving the
highest numbers meet in a run-of1
primary.
In the present situation q run of
in the race for Senator is not I'M
likely, particularly If the administra-
ton primes the political pump for
Camp. II it does not 60 the limit,
Senator George should win without
a run-of, according to his friends.
"Corcoran Cadets" Busy.
The "Corcoran Cadets" sometimes
know as the Elimination Commit
tee"-for the defeat of Democratic
members of Congress who have op-
posed President Roosevelt on major
measures, such as the court bill and
the reorganization bill-have already
opened up on Senator George. Wheth-
er correctly or not, Thomas G. Cor
coran. Tommy the Cork to the
President, is given credit for being
the most active member of this group,
which Is supposed also to include the
Presidents son, James Roosevelt;
Ben Cohen and several other "innsr
circle" members. 1t is reported that
Mr.. Corcoran has sought to prevail
upon certain labor leaders in Georgia
to oppose Senator George and sup
port Camp-and, barring that, at
least not to support George Some of
these labor people have declined to
accept this advice.
1t Is the hope Of the Elimination
Committeeman perhaps of the Presi-
dent-that Gov. Rivers will get ac-
lively into the campaign for Camp.
Indeed it was hoped that the Gov
ernor would have been active long
before this. It may work out that
way, although the Governor so far
has done nothing about Camp. If
the Governor Is lukewarm. Camps
chances will Be DINNER.
At one time Gov. Rivers was the
