A NEW CREATION -Create in

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.

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE.
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,

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.
