dinner in honor Of "Bill' Parker
an honor bestowed partly because
of his long record as a civic leader
Of that thriving little city and more
directly because OF his recent elec-
ton as chairman Of the Republican
state central committee.
Besides his home folks, Republi-
cans from all sections of Minneso-
ia were in attendance as well as
the three men who have thus far
announced themselves as desiring
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor. While the occasion was not
of a political nature, as announced
at the beginning of the program,
the affair was certainly indicative
of the harmony existing within the
Republican party ranks.
Incidently Chairman Parker's enc
big ambition today is to see Re
publican victory next fall in this
state and the finest compliment his
friends can pay him is to take off
their coats and 60 to work along
that line at once and help him do
the job.-St. Cloud Sentinel.
It's All Wrong
There may have been times when
American business completely dom
mated policies of the American
government. And that, Of course,
was wrong. But when things are
reversed, and we find business and
government at loggerheads and
lined up in battle array, it is not
only just as wrong but bad thing
for the whole country. Every fair
minded citizen will have to sub
scribe to that, regardless of his pol
itical beliefs or affiliations.
Neither our economic society nor
our political society should domin-
ate the other. Such a situation is
not fair in the first place, and it
cannot make for success and pros
perity. 1t is only when these two
powerful forces cooperate in har-
mony that we progress. Business
and government should become re-
conciled and keep that way. There
is nothing Inherently wrong with
our capitalistic system. It is the
foundation on which we have built
the might of America. Where in the
world today is there a better sys-
tenn? Where are there people bet
ter off, or as well off, as we are
here in America?
There is nothing better in the
world than the American system of
government, no people who even
approach the American standard of
Lying. This being the case, why not
continue the system under which
we have grown great, and under
which we live SO well. Let us cor
rect it's errors, iron out its Unjust
ices and its inequalities, and add to
1t any improvements that are alb
solutely sound and good for the
whole people. The best way to do
this is by the whole-hearted COOP
Grafton Of everybody concerned, re-
CARELESS Of political beliefs. Contin-
ued quarreling isn't going to get us
anywhere-except into deeper trou-

Those who oppose giving the fiscal

prefers to believe that the taxpayers
of North Carolina are much better
satisfied with the present method
which they feel assures them Of an
administration as buSiness.ike and
economical as possible. In this way. it
is argued, the legislature is willing
to appropriate more money than it
would care to turn over to some

Again, it is, urged that the State
Board of Education set up in days
when there was. practically no State
money put, into the schools, isn't in
position to undertake the tremendous
detailed task of supervising finances

time jobs. that require. all their time.
That's why transfer to that board
would be. the equivalent of transfer to
the Department of Public Instruction,

complete control -. 80.
The consensus of experienced obser-

make the change recommended unless
it should be urged vigorously by Gov

Of course, that's aNrather Demo-
cratic way of expressing it, but the
fact remains that the Democrats gen
orally are not as cohesive as the Re-.
publicans.
If Martin and Wadsworth get into
a mean enough row the talk is that
the G. o. r. will pick its representa-
torial leader from the mid west as
compromise. Yet the trouble with that
scheme is that the midwest has
scarcely any veterans of the G. o. p.
brand to choose among, and a party
congressional leader needs coolies OF
experience. The Republicans in the
Senate are fixed all right, with Char
les L. McNary as their generalissimo
It's up to the House Republicans to
use pretty good Judgment.
Hard Boiled Bert. a
Bertrand H Smell, known as Hard
Boiled Bert" is fading from the pics
ture. He was majority leader for a
long time-when he was in majority.
he's been in a minority. Today Re-
publican diplomacy is essential and
Bert hasn't got it.
Perhaps Martin from Massachu-
sets, is as conservative as ever Bert
Ca New Yorker) was. He's more suave
nevertheless.
Wadsworth (another New Yorker)
is as polished as Martin is-and as
conservative, or more so. He knows
the west also; he's managed a ranch
in Texas. There's nothing obviously
hard boiled about him.
Martin, by the way, essentially is a
newspaperman. Newspaper folk motor
iously know nothing about business,
but there's an occasional exception.
Martin is one of the exceptions. He
has the publicity flair more than
Wadsworth has-a lot more of it than
Bert ever had. My surmise would be
that he'll get that leadership
western leadership is middling
remote contingency.
1t may seem unimportant, consider
ing the present eclipse of the Repub-
lican party.
Nevertheless, who knows? It's

Advocates of the present set-up con

the School Commission does not have

with the Department of Public In
structibn in the sphere of educational
matters, such as the courses of study

strictly educational affairs.
The School Commission. they CON
tend, is nothing more or less than the
financial and accounting agency en-
powered by the legislature to see to it
that the huge sums appropriated for
operation of the schools are uniformly
and properly expended, with every
county getting it's share in the sum-
They maintain that it is clearly pro-

point out, to claim that administra-
