TO THEIR CREDIT.
Whatever else may be said of the
ill-advised set.ice men flocking into
W'aahington to demand the bonus. It
must be laid to their credit that they
have thus far refused to have any
dealings with the communists, even
though some of the latter are veterans
of the World War. The reds are doing
their dead level best to horn In on
this proposition, partly because they
want the money and mostly because
they see in the situation a possible
chance to stir up trouble, and hope
by that means to drive the entering
w «dg* for strife and even the over
throw of this government as one of
the forms of disaster they would bring
about.
Many people think the ex-soldiers
are mailing a tremendous mistake and
are actually doing' their own cause
hartp by marching on Washington
under the inspiration that Is taking
them % there. But they will command
more respect on all sides if they con
tinue their present policy of having
nothing to do wit hthe communists.
This gang may be depended on to do
not only nothing for the good of the
country but all the harm to It they
are capable of. Their conduct in this
crisis Is added evidence of their sedi
tious motives. Yet there are gentle
men in Congress who are ready to
recognize Soviet Russia and are even
agitating it.
DEMAND FOR SMITH.
Unanimous demand by the powerful
Ccripps-Howard chain of newspapers
that the Democratic National Con
vention nominate Alfred E. Smith for
president this mouth adds strength to
the 3mith candidacy, which had about
petered out. but even that will hardly
throw great lustre upon the waning
star of the former New York gover
nor It is conceiveable that the in
sistence of these papers may tend in
some measure to complicate the situa
tion at Chicago, and. unless Governor
Roosevelt can win on the first half
dozen or so ballots, or less, there
might be a trend to the 1928 standard
bearer.
There is little doubt that Smith t«
earnestly seeking the nomination this
year, despite his plain statement after
the 1928 election that he wrould not
again be & candidate. This fresh urge
against Rooeevelt, and the similarity
claimed as between him and President
Hoover, at least Indicates there is by
no means unanimity in the demand
for the present New York executive
as the Moees to lead the party and
the country out of the economic
wilderness.
This newspaper first fell out with
Hoover a few months alter he was
Inaugurated when he signed a tariff
bill, which we thought then and ever
since have thought he did not want,
but which he accepted at the dictation
of the party's leadership In Congress.
The Scrippe-Howard papers now take
the same stand. Moreover, they point
to Rooeevelt as assuming a similar
attitude toward the Mayor Walker re
velations in New York City, and the
observation Is made that both Hoov
ar and Roosevslt, when “faced in a
pinch with political consequences, they
yield." Referring to the situation in
the metropolis, the papers declare
that Rooeevelt “for over a year has
temporised before Tammany."
While Smith is not in public office,
and because of that has not been call
ed upon to commit himself as to what
has happened in New York City, the
fact is that he has kept silent about
It. and the chances are he would
hesitate a long time before turning
against Tammany .which made him
and to which he owes much for the
political advancement that has come
his way.
Roosevelt may not be the man this
country needs at this hour, and we
do not think he is by any manner of
reckoning the strongest man in the
party, except possibly as a vote-get
ter. yet the Scrippe-Howard papers
are not. to our way of thinking of
fering much of an improvement over
him
GETTING ON THE BANDWAGON.
This scramble to get on the wet
bandwagon does not represent a
wholesale change of heart on the part
of men in public life who hitherto
have paraded themselves before the
country as ardent prohibitionists. It is
merely a convenient vehicle, as they
think, to perpetuate themselves in of
fice. if they are already in. or to get
in, if they are now out. Many of them
have been trying to do a tight-wire
stunt waiting to see which way the
wind would blow, and, now that the
tide seems to be in the direction of
the liquor crowd, they are falling over
themselves in an effort to make
heroes of themselves and to attract
, political support for some plum they
are after.
They are not fooling a great many
people by what they are doing. Rather
they are demonstrating openly what
they have at heart been all the while:
politicians playing the political game
for all it is worth.
Those who are clamoring for repeal
of the /eighteenth 'amendment stop
there. They offer nothing concrete in
its place. They are careful to explain
they do not ffcvor the return of the
saloon; oh, no. nothing so terrible as
that. Os course not—not until or un
less they discover that the prevailing
sentiment in the country favors the
actual restoration of the saloon, and
then they will be just as enthuiasti
cally for that as they now are for
repeal of the amendment.
You can’t always tell what a po
litician is for or where he stands. If
he wants public office, he usually is
for the thing or things that will put
him in public favor and turn votes his
way, whatever that may be. And
sometimes he Is not so particular as
to what it is, so he gets what he
wants.
America needs and needs badly
some honest-to-God statesmanship at
the helm in this hour. And unless we
can develop something of that sort
we shall be headed toward a nation of
demagogues, if indeed we are not al
ready moving that, way.
BAD TIME TO VOTE.
Further evidence of the disadvan
tages of holding an etaction on Sat
urday was had in last Saturday’s pri
mary. Chief of these is that it comes
©n the last day of the week and butts
into Sunday, when business halts and
there is a general cessation of normal
week-day facilities for gathering elec
tion returns. Pollholders are inclined
—an some did in this county, and we
do not blame them—to shut up shop
as midnight nears and go home and
to bed for a rest to which they are
justly entitled. The result is they do
not finish their work until Monday
morning, and those who wish to know
who the successful candidates were
have to wait sometimes two day 3 to
find out.
The Daily Dispatch has for years
favored and urged a change in the
day of the week for the Statewide
primary. And the same is true of
virtually all newspapers of the State.
The case is clearly and forcefully stat
ed by the Winston-Salem Journal in
an editorial following Saturday’s elec
tion, which said:
“Saturday is a bad day for a pri
mary for several reasons. Perhaps the
chief of these Is that It delays the as
sembling of complete data on the re
sults. People want to know who the
successful candidates were. Sunday is
a poor day for getting information
because of the partial suspension of
the usual channels of Information and
.transportation. The religious and so
cial importance of the day also makes
against the activity that would be
1 Appropriate on week days.
"It would be as easy to hold a pri
mary on Tuesday |u an t»lectioi*
Election officials, newspapers and
other agencies would have a much
better chance to get information as
to the results to the public. Change
of primary date is a much-needed re
form in this State.
“In connection with the change of
date, a change in the hours of voting
should be made. The polls opened
Saturday at 5:06* in the morning and
closed at 7:30 in the evening. This
schedule was in obedience to the old
from sunup to sunset' formula. All
the voting could be done between the
hours of 7 in the morning until 6

{in the evening. The long hours now
in force snake a gruelling day of It
,for the election officials. If an hour

AN EXAMPLE.
(Greensboro Dally News.)
Every now and then a public, which
may be more observant than Con
gress because It has to pay tax bills
rather than make 'em. notes an in
cident which reflects costly opera
tions at various points in the govern
mental structure where the legislative
says that nothing can be done about
them.
Several days ago Georgs Ross Pou,
superintendent of state's prison, was
Injured in an automobile wreck near
Henderson. The next bit of informa
tion disseminated through the public
prints revealed that Mr. Pou, a world
war veteran, had been removed to
Walter Reed hospital at Washington
for x-ray examination and treatment.
This is not intended as criticism of
the prison head or of those who car
ried him to the government institu
tion; his case is merely cited byway
of example as to what may and does
transpire under the prevailing sys-,
tern of governmental hospitalization.
Mr. Pou, it is shown by public rec
ords. receives a salary which is not
to be sneezed at, a remuneration
which certainly permits him to pay
hospital bills as most wreck victims,
including his companion at the time
of the crash in point, have to do. The
injuries which he receieved occurred
long after the war and, so far as
dispatches relate, can in no wise be
connected with his period in the ser
vice. Yet. under the prevailing system
he enters a government institution
and the taxpayers* bill is increased
just that much. When all similar cases
are considered, the aggregate must
amount to no email sum.
The situation ought to have some
place in the economy program, par
ticularly when curtailment of funds
for assistance of those disabled in the
service, and not in automobile wrecks
years after the expiration of their en
listment. has already been suggested
as one of the means of retrenchment

the following juicy eptotle just before
my boat sails for Europe:
Dear Jimmy: Confessions roil from

bright lights in ones ayes are a

the gangplank swings up.
But of ail the thingp in the wqrVd
that I can think of to do, that, seems
to me the least attractive, the moot
forbidding, the moat superlatively hor

It is my conviction, based on a fair
amount of observation and experi

from a mantyr-oomrplex could enjoy
