NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS—
Os a truth I perceive that God is no
Yespector of persons: but in every
nation he that feareth him. and work
eth righteousness, is accepted with
turn.-Acts 10: 34, 35.
COLLUSION IS UNLIKELY
Backing of two candidates for the
Slate office of commissioner of labor
by two Urge rival printing establish
ments in the State Is denied by the
candidates themselves. Os course,
they’ would not be expected to admit
that such a thing were true, even if it
were, but the fact that the letting of
the State pinning » no longer in the
hands of the commissioner, but reals
with the division of purchases and
contracts, as th: Dispatch pointed out
several days ago. would seem to be
sufficient evidence to spike the rumor.
Big printing concerns would not have
much to gam oy putting money or any
other kind of support behind men
who had nothing to do with furnishing
the State with supplies in which they
deal. There was not much prospect of
e collusion, but developments have
appeared to be sufficient to allay fears
of such a turn in the primary cam
paign.
RENTAL OF SCHOOL BOOKS
Concern stirred up among the pub
lishers of textbooks by the agitation
of Revenue Commissioner A. J Max
well in his cand‘dacy tor -governor is
not surprising In the Dally Dis
patch Raleigh correspondence yester
day it was indicated that a large num
ber of these concerns had representa
tives in Raleigh and going about from
place to place in the State trying tc
work up seutlmint to offs* whatever
of favorable impression may have
been created by Maxwell's charges of
excassivH coate and his promise that
he would have the State rent bookt
to the school children and at lowci
prices.
The idea is nova new one. It iv.»
been worked successfully, we under
stand, in some local communities even
iu this State. Savings have beeu
made to parents vho have to purchasi
the books for their children. Bui
there is an addii.onal advantage that
would accrue from State rentals, and
that is that there would not be such
frequent changes in texts as under
the system now in vogue. That in
Itself would etammate a good deal o.
the profiteering, if there be such, on
the part of the publishers.
With parents buying the books for
their children yer after year, it has
been found that many texts formerly
in use were worthless because they
lad been chaoarded. The ordinary
layman finds it difficult to understand
why so much of this should be necee
sary. Mr. Maxwell may not be the
next governor, but If he should be.
and if he should inaugurate the rental
system he proposes, it la fairly cer
tain that there will be nothing like the
frequent changes in texts that are ex
perienced now end which are forced
upon both parents and children, and
tbe teaching profession as well
WbOther Mr. Maxwell Is the man or
•ome other, whoever the next gover
nor may be, he could apppropriate i
portion of bis time to great advantage
and to a great saving for the peoph
of the State If he would look into the
school book situation, and possibly
with a view to having the Stale ren
the books to the children from year
to year. A considerable saving could*
be brought about, especially If aome
of the numerous and frequeat changes
were eliminated. I
MIIJTABY-MINDED
Oompktion of the round of Fedo
ra! Inspections of vmxtoue military ea
tabttahmeate located In this city ad
mits of comment again on the mili
tary-mindedneos of the community.
It is probably true that nowhere else
in North Carolina are there as many
citizen soldiers of one department or
another In a town the size of Hender
son or smaller os we have here. The
city has had its militia units for scores
of years, and would feel lost without
them.
Only once, and that a moot regret
table occasion, has it ever been neces
sary to being the military into service
to preserve order here at home
Presence of these units in this city un
doubtedly has its pacifying effect in a
way, but that la only a part of the rea
son and the valu? of the branches of
the defense organization. It is a
proud commentary upon patriotic sen
timentalities that exist among our
| people, and marks them as being men
wilting always and ready at a mo
ment's notice to take up arms in de
fense of American liberties. As long
as there is a halo around military
achievenemts in this country, that will
be so.
There are mtn in these units in
Henderson today whose fathers before
them gave their time and energies to
the service There are likewise men
in the* military- connection here now
whose sons after them will follow in
their stepps. Ours Is a military-mind
ed citizenship, and that is a thing t<
be proud of.
But there is something beyond the
mere existence cf these units that re
flects great credil. They are not sat
isfied with merely maintaining their
relationship with State and national
departments, but work hard always to
excel in the science, and in marked
degree they have succeeded. The
highest rating toward perfection has
not been hand-.-d out right and left;
it has to be ear.ied. And companies
here have held that distinction until
It was no longer acoorded anywhere.
High officials and well disciplined
enlisted men aie members of these
local military organizations. They are
efficient and highly trained. Were
they pressed into duty in an emer
gency, whether at home or abroad,
they would gave worthy account of
themselves mow as they (have in the
past. Their history is a glorious heri
tage and their future is assured. They
reflect Wgh honor upon tlbeir own
community, and that citizenship In
turn is fully apppreciative of them.
A COMMUNITY SERVICE
More power to the arm of thcee loyal
citizens who ar- devoting their time
and energies, as well as their personal
financial support, to the movement
to reopen the First National Bank.
The fact that they are brimful of
optimism over tnc prospects for tbe
complete success of the undertaking
does not, however, remove or limit the
responsibility ol stockholders and de
positors. each ar.d every one of tihrtfc.
to do their utmost byway -of coope
rating.
In other localities wbere bonks have
closed and latee were reopened, it be
came necessary for committees to can
vass depositors, as well as stockhold
ers, in order to secure their coopera
tion. Information is that approxii
motely 90 percent of the four thou
sand depositors in the First National
who are directly concerned with the
icopening plan have voluntarily and
without pressure come forward with
their signed endorsement of the pro
posal. That mean? that something like
800 have yet to give their consent, and
this 800 owe it to themselves and to
their community to lose no further
time in joining in on the undertaking.
It cannot succeed without them, and,
whether they realize it or not, they
are contributing their part to delay
ing the restoration of this much need
ed financial institution to the business
life of Henderson and Vanoe county
Payment in full at once of all de
posits of S2O or leas and of ten per
cent of all other deposits would release
about seventy to eighty thousand dol
lars into the arteries of trade in Hen
dereon at a time when It ie needed as
never before. The community fa§ not
ro large but that eighty thousand dol
lars distributed among several thou
sand people would be felt mightily in
these days. The depositors have
everything to gain and nothing to lose
by accepting the reorganization plan
in Meu of a Federal liquidation. Hard
ly more tha n one bank in twenty has
made or could make a proposition as
generous as has been offered to the
people who have money tied up in the
Fir*, National Bank. The fact that
such a plan is possible here Is both
an Indication of the good condition
of the bank at the time it closed and
an advantageous opportunity for those
concerned.
Stockholders should not lose sight
of the fact that the plan offered to
thezn is far better than a Federal
liquidation. Whereae they are now I
asked to put up half of «be amount of
their Mock, with tbe virtual certainty

that they will not be called upon tor
any more later, and would rtaad a
good chance of having M as an invest
ment in the course of a few years, *t
would be just the opposite If they re
fused bo come in on the present plan
and forced a Federal liquidation, in
which event they would be required
to put up money equal to the entire
amount of their stock held at the
time the bank closed. In other words,
wfcttt they are now asked to do Is just
twice as much to their benefit as a
forced liquidation would be.
There is urgent need that the re
organisation plan be consummated ait
tbe earliest possible time. It would
help business in Hendereon hi an ef
fective and noticeable manner and in
the midst of the won* economic de
pression in a generation and at a
time when the dull summer season ie
just approaching. We repeat, those
Who can lend this cooperation would
be doing themselves and their com
munity a genuine service by giving
this cooperation immediately and
without any further delay. To fail
to do that wiil mean putting a stumb
ling block in the way of community
progress.

New York, May s—Then there are
those unimportant Utile dramas which

The other day
an art school
near Tompkins
square found It
necessary, times
being wlhalt they
are, to move into
cheaper quarters
■
from the floor of the ancient church
which it occupied. The janitor, long
loyal, was give* his pick of the plaster
and clay models fashioned by students
over a period of years.
A mild and perhaps inartistic fellow,
he browsed among the statuary and
finally settled upon a huge and men
acing gargoyle with folded wings, cer
tainly the mo* forbidding work ever
turned out by the school. Quite pos
sibly he had in mind his wife’s rather
militant puritan views when he carted
his prize u,p to the garret he occupies.
But Che plaster figment caused a
rum pais in his house. “That’s an evil
thing!” his wife cried. "A contrivance
of someone wKh the devil in ’em!”
3he refused to have the hind in her
domicile. Sadly, hubby carted It out'.
Next day he was amazed to discover
a large, undraped model of a female
torse on the mantel.
‘That’s art!” his wife informed him
archly. “It was like you to bring
something indecent into the houee.”
Or take the case of the former ope
ratic star who has fallen upon lean
days. The other night her husband,
long jobless as she is, triumphantly
brought home to dinner a vaudeville
executive of some power. There was
little food in tn<- house, but the oc
casion warranted expenditure of what
ever remaining pennies there were. A
job for the wife might result.
After dinner, at which the vaudeville
man seemed to mellow over his glass
of cheap wine, the trio repaired ‘to the
humble living room —where a piano,
which would have to be sold on the
morrow, remained.
Nervously, the wife sat down to play
and sing. As her fingers hovered
above the keyboard a pet parrot in a
nearby cage began to run his gamut of
word*. He was an exceptionally good
talker and in addition appeared to
‘take to” the showman Immediately.
The latter, much interested, spent the
reat of the evening toying with the
bird and ll*ening, delighted, to its re
port oir.
Today, the wife Is oa the vaudeville
stage—with the parrot, which she
coaxes Into Imitations of the songs of
Rudy Vallee and Russ Col umbo.

which lies behind the marriage of two
old acquaintance.-:. The boy is a clerk
in one of the large banks downtown.
The wife hetps along by selling short
*ories, from time to time, to the pulp
paper magazines.
Neither would now be juggling
dimes in the weekly budget—4f they
hadn’t met!
It seems that the girl used to be a
*enographer to one of the moguls of
VAvll Street. The old boy fell for
her and she developed for ham a sin
cere admiration and affection. She’d
never been in love, so when the boss
proposed why not? They were to
have been married in a month.
But meanwhile the financier's si*er
had been active—certain in the belief
that the girl was a cheap IRtle for
tune-hunter. He was a widower, with
a grown son; and the s hater convinced
the son her fears were grounded.
The goy was actually sent to see the
girl to try to dissuade her fnotn mar

himself and married her—<for which
