O God; and renew a right spirit within me —Psalm 51 10, HI LL FOR V ICE-PRESIDENT Many of those well-meaning Tar Heels who supported Senator Cordell Hull for the Democratic presidential rumjiatlun in l'.aS as against Gover nor Smith, put themselves behind a c trull dale much abler than most of them knew. He was merely a straw man in that pre-couvcntion campaign, and was irotted out merely as some body to beat Srr.ih with, in a forlorn lope that the si~mpede to the then New Yolk governor might be blocked at the Houston convention. This year, however, there is a deter mined move on toot to give Hull tihe I'emocratic vice-presidential uomina t:on. and there are good reasons to fcuppo-e that he will actually be nom it.ated at the Chicago convention next June His chances will be the more favorable if the convention finally decides to put Governoi Roosevelt at the head of the t.cket. as Roosevelt is said to be* favorable to Hull as his run ning mate should fortune smile upon him. Charles P. Stewart. Central ITese and Daily Dispatch correspondent in Washington, appeals to be Ihor oughly 'sold'' on the Tennessee sen ator as a vice-presidential candidate. "More favorable things can be truth fully said about the Tennessee law maker than about any other single individual, perhaps, in public life to day." Stewart wn'es He thinks Hull's ability is "fat and away above the ordinary.' and “in his grasp on the ucience of government. It generally is agieed on Capiicl Hill that Congress has hardly his equal ” As an econo mist he has a world reputation, and he is both a statesman and a practical politician, the correspondent declares. Estimates placed upon the Tennessean are no mere matter of personal admir ation. and his aavlce is sought by leg islators of both parties, and Demo crats and Republicans alike testify to his judgment and absolute integrity. The wets overlook the fact that he Is a dry. and protectionists defer to his Jeffersonian tariff views, while ullru-nationahs's refuse to take of fenue or alarm at his exposition of Witeonian doctrines. Stewart writes. And this parting appraisal: "The sen ator. in short, is so pre-eminently wane that It Is impossible to imagine hrim as adhering to any policy which could lead to disaster." That. then, is the type of man Hull supporters in 1928 would have rid den behitil had they succeeded In blocking Smith and putting him in Indeed, all that high-sounding tribute pictures Hull as being just about an ideal candidate for president, rather than for second place on the ticket. This newspaper has before this pointed out that. In the event Roose velt gets the nomination, it will be Jvtghly important that his running mate shall be as strong a man as the head of the ticket. Roosevelt, as Is pretty generaHy known, is a partial paralytic and the strain of the office cf president Is enough for a well man and in robust health. It is just pos sible that the momentous and crucial days ahead for whoever may be the next president will be exacting in the eat rente upon both the mind and body of the man For that reason, the vice-president should be oil® who is in every sense of the word capable of faitiny over the reigns of government should be be called upon to do K. ALMOST UNANIMOUS NOW Bishop Janie* Cannon's endorsement even if In principle only, of the pro posal for a referendum on the eigh teenth smendmnt makes It almost unanimous now. lit has been per fpetty apparent for a long time that jiruhibition. as is. would ultimately be lepudialed by this country. It is a sad fact to contemplate that we mv»A backtrack on the dry issue in this nation, but if that is what we must do. there is at least the explanation that we made progress too hastily- ITohlbtlion wus moving forward tepidly, county by county and state by state, and a gieat majority of the country was dry territory. The Anti- Maioon League of America then be came more or let* Pitoxicated itself with the idea cf putting across its objective In a hurry and all at once. Pobtical pressure, under guidance of the tat<* Wayne R Wheeler, became so .strong that legislators, both in Coo gret» and in th p states, simply were afraid to resist longer and were stam peded into climbing aboard the band wagon II was popular and a policy that got votes There was great re joicing over the viotory that he had l een won. Then came the enforce ment and as the law began to be felt ii began to make enemies. Moreover, the liquor crowd never gave up. They were as determ.ned as the prohibi tionists had been And they still are. In fact. Uhey are more so at this hour, ti-cause one rarely ever hears a chirp fiom the drys any more, so loud has become the clamor from the wela. That in itself is one important factor it* increasing the momentum that the back to booze" movement has taken unto Itself in the past year or two. For a long tune the ardent drys have stood biUeily against a referen dum. Then some of them came out ..i favor of it, speaking yith an air of coJifidence that they could beat the wets at tihe polls. But they wont. It .s gelAing to bo almost as popular now to be in favor of modification or out right repeal of the egihteeuth amend ment as it ever was to be in l&vor of its enaction years ago before it was written upon the statue books. When Bishop Cannon shows signs of compromising, everybody else m»y as well admit the cause is hopeles, that is. as to the continuation of whiat w« row have. This Congress moy not and probably will not. at least not .it the present session, give the wets what they are demanding, but it won't take but about one more to turn sent iment strongly enough to force some ort of a change in the present law. That is a foregone conclusion. It is regrettable that even a partial retreat must be ordered, but regret will not srve the day now. CASE OF THE HARWOODS Judge Devin was light when he said Ihe cast* of the Harwoods was a tragic event in the annals of the North Carolina judiciary. His daughter em bezzled some thousands of dollars from the State while s-he was in its employ, and her father altered the records in an attempt to clear her name In a large sense, here is one instance of where the* custom is re versed. and instead of the "sins of the fathers", this time the child's act has encompassed the parent's downfall. It is not hai-d to sympathize with Judge Harwood in his affection for his daughter and his desire to Save her name, but the surprising thing about the whole procedure is that he didn't make restitution at the ouDet l efore any publicity was had and be iore the State was forced to carry the matter into the courts. The young woman's embezzlement is bui another instance of the temptation to take what belongs to another, though she chose a cumbersome process and one rhe should have known would ulti mately be detected. While there is evei-y sympathy for the father and daughter, there is, too. ti.e fact of the law. it is written for the rich and the poor, the high and the law, and unless it is made opera tive in all directions, it had as well be junked. These two respectable citizens brought iheir trouble upon themselves, Th< y forced the opera tion of the statute, and had they been permitted to slip through its meshes jhat leniency would have created fur ther disrespect for the majesty of the law. Light is always the first and most vital point in any picture. Wife Preservers A Mi Vice wagon or a table on wheels naves many steps in bring •njr soiled disbes from the <*m.n g tabß Um kitchen *i^k.

Today brings a rich and beneficent nature, which will attract many friends. There may be a little too much love of luxury, a little too much desire for approbation; but there is a certain tenacity of purpose and a habit of listening to the advice of ciders that generally overcomes dif ficulties. If the ambitions are disap pointed. it sometimes breeds a recluse but not especially a disgruntled one. With Senators Stumped, Probe of Stock Market Makes Little Progress fContinued from Page one.) bent on showing that there would not be anv depression had it not bepn for the post-war boom, for which the Hawkeye statesman seeks to hold the Harding and Coolidge regimes respon sible- and the Hoover regime also, until the boom exploded. In brief, Senator Walcott is a bear hunter; Senator Brookhart’s object is bull-baiting. It may seem as if they ought to be able to make matters rather embar lassing for the market traders, con verging upon them from both direc tions in this fashion. The fact is, however, that the bulls and bears, however, vigorously they may strive to slaughter one another, immediately join forces to resist out side interference with their game, and. naturally understanding Its rules vastly better than it is possible for the banking and currency probers to learn them in a hurry, simply laugh the investigation off in a good-na tured way. It is precisely, as previ ously remarked, as Professor Einstein might be expected to do if a congres sional committee were trying to make a monkey out of him on the subject of relativity. But the truth Is that the investiga tion gives little promise as yet of uncovering much information of gen uine importance—nothing that nearly everyone does not know already, any way. Perhaps the stock exchange folk have nothing important to reveal. Perhaps the investigators merely are insufficiently versed in market technicalities to wring it out of them It is hopeless for an inexperienced listener to judge whether, in reality the business of the stock exchange folk is the simple matter of ordinary swapping back and forth which they reresent it to be. or whether there is some sort of black magic connect ed with it as the public undoubtedly believes there is. If it's enough to puzzle the average person, why shouldn't it puzzle a sen atorial investigating committee? After all, senator are only average folk, with official titles. The United States has developed considerably from the capital borrow from Europe. 9—Suffix forming the past tense of verba 10— Old stringed Instrument of tbs violin class 11— A pronoun 13—Unintentionally to part with something 15— An evergreen shrub (plural) 16— Part of the head 18—Declaring 10—One of Caucasion and negro hlood fl —A cutaneous disease 22—To elevate in spirit 24—A fracas 26 A game at cards 27 One of a branch of tbs Tal raee 28— A pronoun 32 — An anaesthetic 33 A heavenly body 36—Poverty 17— A tft peat r* - 39 Risk 40 — Colored 43 A color 44 The mother of Peer G£nl 46 Toward 47 A Greek letter * 48— Syllable applied to a note of th« scale 60—The Iron Mountain State (abbr.l Answer-to Previous Pussln UU|t|*i |RTeV ■w'MalhJdTsl Also Double-Crossed ■ ■■■"■■ 1 -i The International Chamber of Com merce is 12 years old.
