thing was tangled in the electric

Taffey in her arms, and saw three
big black bears near the mink
pens. The dog took one look, scr
ambled out of her arms, dashed
into the house and under the bed.
We really need dogs up here FOR

TUCKER
By RAY TUCKER

ALBANY, Oct. IA Local,
Democratic polls have given Pre-
sident Truman up, and aban-
doned him to what they regard
as certain defeat in his presi-
dental contest with Governor
Thomas E. Dewey.
Their shabby treatment Of the
titular head of their party, es.
pecially in the big cities the
writer has visited, is as shame
full a performance as ever has
been staged in modern politics,
matching their attempt to side
track him for Ike" Eisenhow-
Or at the Philadelphia conven-
ton.
II President Truman shows
signs Of hysteria and despera-
ton now and then, as in his
more Sensational speeches and in
his abortive attempt to negotiate
4 tste-a-tete agreement with Sta
lin by sending Chief Justice
Fred Vinson as a private White
House emissary to Moscow, it
derives undoubtedly from his
knowledge that his supposed po-
litical field agents are double
crossing him.
Anticipating Republican VIC
tory nationally, they are spend
ing what little money they
have, and directing their cam
paigns with the sole aim of
electing their homegrown candi-
dates for Congress, Legislatures,
City Halls and Courthouses.
To mention or to praise Presi-
dent Truman, they figure, is to
hurt their chances for these To-
cal, bread-and-butter jobs.
ATTITUDE This defeatist at
titude toward the national tick
ct 10 not confined to any single
section Of the country, any more
than the ambition and SELFISH
ness Of American politicos are
limited by state, county or city
lines. The G. o. P. bosses gave
the same sort of deal to Her
bert Hoover in the politically
disastrous. year of 1882.
In Nevada, for instance, Sena-
tor Pat McCarran introduced Mr..
Truman with the simple, laconic
and surprise statement that the
visiting speaker was the "Presi-
dent of the United States"
There were not the usual lauda-
tory remarks.
In fact Mr.. ,McCarran, who
suspects that his state is headed
for the Dewey-Warren column,
has been praising the two COP.
nominees statements on domes.
tic and foreign questions.

thieving unioneers and proteges
Of the party of humanity, have
been lagniappe.
The Fay case is the most no.
- torious failure of justice in the
record Of the department since
the grant administration. Fay
was brutal, defiant thug of the
Roosevelt adherency. He stole
not only from thousands of Ro.
osevelt's faceless constituents,
but from the treasury as well.
He robbed the treasury both by
taxing public construction for his
own lushing and wenching and
chiseling on his income tax on
this loot.
Tom Clark, the last Of the new
deal parade of attorney generals
was personally we'll familiar with
Fay's nefarious doings, having
carried on some prosecutions of
Fay's subordinates in years
gone.
In December, 1916. I observed
that Fay was about to 60 to trial
in Newark on the tax evasion
charge and that his Judge was to
be Thomas F. Meaney. Meaney
is a member of the Hague Po-
litical mob who did well for
himself as counsel in the sorting
of the wreckage of the banks of
Jersey City, brought to collapse
by ruinous and predatory local
home taxation. challenged this
assignment because Of the COM
mon political associations of the
judge and the defendant and Of
the United States attorney as
well-one Edgar Rossbach.
l was absolutely right. Fay
and Meaney .ha been involved
for years in the concils and for.
tunes Of political gang which
preyed on the people, the in =
dustry. the banks and the moral
stamina Of the community.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Clark said
he wasn't worried about Meaney
but said I'VE" had had "a lot
of trouble" with Rossbach.
And still nevertheless, Clark
let Rossbach handle the case, an
open-and-shut job which already
had been won by Frank S. HOGAN
and Vincent O'Conner in New
York county on an extortion
charge involving the same evi.
dsnce. Rossbach kicked it a.
round 10 badly that even a first
class jury would have had to
acquit. When it was all over
and Fay, Of course, had been
acquitted. as 1t was a foregone
conclusion that he would be

More Interest In Local And State
Schools Would Increase Education

The results of six year statistical study of edu-
cation made throughout the nation by the United
States Chamber of Commerce show that North Car
ona has one of the lowest ratings in the nation
That statement was made recently by Ed H.
Cherry, regional vice president of the Chamber OF
Commerce. to a Wilmington audience.
Cherry speaking education invest
ment in people His presentation compared per capita
retail sales with educational standards of the various
states. He showed that those states with highest
educational standards had the highest per capita
retail sales. For instance, New Yorks per capita
sales double those of North Carolina which
amounted to $4OS In 1916.
The u. S. Chamber of Commerce began it's study
of education in 1910. Among other facts it shows
that 25 percent of the residents of this state
25 years of age have had five years less of formal
education and only 10 percent have had college edu
ton of each pupil in the Southeastern states in 1946
$50. No section of the nation spent less North
Carolina ranked fortyfourth in the nation. The
age annual salary of teachers principals and super
vsors in the Southeastern states the lowest and
North Carolina ranked 36th in the nation.
Most people, we think, will agree that the bus-
ness community has vital interest in local educa-
tion We believe that the business people, well
the parents should get behind the school system and
demand from the state better educational facilities
higher salaries for teachers and greater oppor
tunitles for our youngsters.
In Wilmington after Cherrys address an active
committee on education was formed. This commit
tee is to study its local education conditions and
recommend improvements where they are necessary
We do not say that such is need in Roanoke
Rapids We do say that every person in the city, be
he businessman, DOCTOR lawyer be he parent or
not parent should take active interest in his school
system.

fort might help to overcome situation which has
been called acute from a health standard is the

that $4,000 necessary for the installation of the ia
cilities if more of had greater interest in our
schools and what is going in regard to the struc-
lures and buildings in which children spend many
years of their lives
Roanoke Rapids is fortunate in having one of
the best local educational systems in the state How
ever, we should always strive to make ours the best
and the easiest way to make it best is one of COM

Today they swing aboard Mr..
Truman's train 4 few miles from
the city where he is to make his
main speech, and then only from
sense Of duty. In fact, former
Governor Henry F. Schricker of
Indiana, now the Democratic no.

Truman addressed a crowd at
