There Are No Good Dictotorships"

the past concerning another type of editor
Editor Harrison of the Daily Oklahoman of
Oklahoma City if we remember rightly-and
we recall him as the kind of newspaperman
who had too much intelligence and CUTS ever
to accept a dictatorship. Along about 1897,
Editor Harrison had been invited by Gov
ernor Leche of Louisiana to speak at the
LSU commencement exercises, at which the
Italian Ambassador was also to be an honor
ed speaker. And the editor got up and really
made the boys a speech. When he first got
the invitation to speak, he told them, and
saw that the ambassador of the sinking,
corrupt Fascist government of Italy was also
asked to be on the program, his first impulse
was to throw the invitation in the garbage
can. He said he decided however to come
and make them a speech on democracy and
freedom. And for a long half hour he berated
the Louisiana officials for having the gall
to honor the Italian dictatorship in such a
manner And he described the events then
taking place in Italy under Mussolini in the
frankest possible way.
When he was finished talking, Governor
Leehe, one of Huey Longs political office
boys who had been made governor, made
public apology.
Can you guess who 1t was he apologized
to? To the plain-spoken and courageous
American editor. for recalling some of the
ideals of freedom in a state where they were
being forgotten. Not al all. The governor
apologized to the perfumed little dandY
who sat there as the ambassador of the
Italian dictator. Governor Leche then
jumped on the newspapers las represented
by Editor Harrison) because in their ex-
ercise OF free speech they had bucked toe
Huey Long regime. They called Huey a
dictator too. just as they did Mussolini.
the governor said. implying that neither
Huey or Mussolini were really dictators-
Just a couple of big-hearted lovers of hui
manitY.
Two years later, big, fat Governor Leche'
was a common convicted theft behind the
bars of the Atlanta penitentiary. They had
caught him with his land in the till, so to
speak. Under the sheltering land concealing)
cover of the big, noble, kind, soft-hearted
and efficient dictatorship of the Huey Long
machine, he and a dozen of his buddies had
tried to steal everything but the kitchen
stove.
We would give this advice to our Memphis
friend it is not the encroachment of federal
government which is the real threat, for no
federal government will ever be able to rig
an election in AZ states, it is the relationships
which. begin at home which are the danger
GUS kind, We saw the one which began in
our ~neighboring state, Louisiana, begin to
grow into national proportions. And we
would not like to see it again. Boss Crump
may be a wonderful dictator for the town of
Memphis. But the only good thing we can see
about him and his machine, is that be is now
a very old man and will in the normal course
of things be gathered to his fathers before
many years, We don't need any live and
praetieing dietators in the United States of
America,

known as sound effects.
Someday the movie-makers in
Hollywood will realize, perhaps,
that real roads, fields, farmers,
mountaineers, workers, main
s%treeters, sailors, ETC., etc, are
infinitely more interesting, con-
vincing and entertaining when
seen on the movie scree than
made-up movie actors on made
up sets.
Hollywood's reply to all this is
that a housewife who works over
a hot stove all day and gets a red
face and an aching back, doesn't
want to see a housewife with a
red face and aching back when
she goes into a movie house to be
entertained. They argue that
such a movie patron would rath-
er see a beautiful starry-eyed
young movie queen with finger
nails an inch long and eye-lashes
hanging down her cheeks and they
would rather see her looking this
way even if she is supposed to
be baking at a hot stove, or run
ming her dear old pappy's hog
farm while he does 20 years for
a crime he did not commit-and
so forth.
1t is certainly true that people
want what is known as escape"
when they 60 to a movie. But
there are better forms of escape
than to sit through two hours. of
nonsense. One is to see a true
and thrilling picture of life
whether it be a tragedy or a COM
edy-to see life painted not less
real than it is, but more real
and though this sounds like a
paradox, an impossihility. the es-
magic of art is to make
reality more real.
These thoughts of course are a
long way from what we started
TO comment on-the little one-act
drama of a puppy and a pine cone
but this is the order in which
they presented themselves.

which made it great was the fact
that it showed actual roads and

TO THE NOCKINGBIRD

Keats ode was to nightingale. But
Keats never heard a mockingbird sing.
Misinformed people often insist that
the mocker has no song of his own, that
he cnlv mimics his betters. False,
thousand times false! There is no bird
music to surpass his inimitable song of
love and ecstasy.
But he can mimic anything from the
squeak of your rusty brakes to the
growing of rooster. He will whistle
your favorite record two weeks after
he hears it, or fool you with the pretty
pretty-pretty of cardinal -.
He is not a gaudy bird, not even a
handsome bird. Robin-size but more
slender, slate gray, neat and trim. If,
Nature had endowed such songster
with the trappings Of painted bunting
he would so outshine all other feathered
creatures that there would be no fair
ness in it. -.
Useful in his habits, gifted in song,
equally at home in woodlands, orchard
or along the highways, the mockingbird
endears himself to anyone who has the
slightest interest in the creatures Of
the air.
He sings every month Of the year, but
to catch him at his peerless best you
must wait for a moonlit night in spring.

VONEN'S FEET STILL on GROUND

History repeats itself and the gals
have done it again. Maybe we're late
about getting around to noticing such
things-and maybe we're not-but the

women's feet are still on the ground.
Sandals with Z thong here and there
to hold them on adorned Clecpatra's
feet. And from what we saw OF today :
ladies' shoes Cleo hadn't a thong on
them. Except that she did have num-
Der of servants to carry along extra

she felt like it.

Letters To the =.
EDITOR

Whiteville, N. C.
Route Z
Nov. 20, 1916.
w. H. Carter,
Editor, Tabor City Tribune
Tabor City, N. c.
Dear Sir:
In regards to the article that you
printed in your paper last week we
wish to make few corrections.
Most of your statements about the
people of Crusoe were false.
The people of Crusoe Island live
lust as the people of other commua-
| tiles. They abide by the laws OF
the county and state and do not
have any form of government OF
their own as you stated in your
paper. They take a great interest
in elections and go to the poles to
vote. We are proud to state that
there never has been murder
case. We never have shooting and
cutting affairs.
We also have front and back
porches on our houses as are found
elsewhere.
We have two churches and they
send delegates to other districts. You
stated that the people have no out
side interest. We have home
demonstration club which meets
| regularly and is affiliated with the
county council of clubs.
The veterans met last week and
organized an American Legion with
all members present.
During the war practically every
man here worked in all departments
of the ship yards such as welders,
Ship filters, plumbers, ship carpen-
{ tiers, etc. even school teacher, and
are skilled in every line of work.
We are sorry that our community
has a few fools, but so does every
place YOU know of. There's no
need to ridicule a whole community
because of the few cranks in it.
! The good people of Cruso are tired
of such false statements and tales
that are told on the people as q
whole.
If you think we are ignorant and
all fools. come and talk to the
sensible people instead of the fools.
There is no proof that the people
are French, ali that is fable made
up by some one. The oldest people
here k,ve proof that they came
from other countries and from South
Carolina.
The people here take a great part
in outside affairs. There's a quar-
tet that sings weekly over WENC
and two more groups that sing and
play each week.
About cars, there has been cars
here since 1919. Now practically
every one here has car or truck.
We think that newspaper should
try to build up a community instead
of tearing down one. The people
are very tired of such stories.
The people receive treatment from
doctors and go to hospitals just as
any community.
Please give the good people an
apology for what you printed last.

Traditionally non-partisan and adj

That the sentiments of Imperial 20
