THE WAR IS OVER. If the Confederate veterans do not j wish to hold their annual reunion with the members of the Grand Army i of the Republic, that is, of course, | their affair. It is theirs to do as they plettee about it. We seem to recall that several years ago a similar proposal was before the veterans of the Union i army and received treatment similar ' to that at Richmond the other day. ! 8o that neither side can accuse the | other of an attitude more hostile than j its own. But these gentlemen, honored and ! revered though they be. should try | to remember that the war is over. 1 General Lee surrendered in 1865, and | that is 67 years ago. longer than the j age of most people now living. It does seem that men of the same racial j ancestry, citizens of the same country j and followers of the same flag could, after two generations, forget their differences, and if either were wrong or right in 1861-65. that they could at least forgive and forget. Certainly it is their affair and the ! decision Is theirs to make, and their | wishes might as well be respected, which de do. But we can see no harm | in this form of fraternization in a | country that has been .reunited for 67 years. ~. | ' ** i legislative appointments. Against charges by Lieutenant Gov ernor Fountain that Governor Gard ner appointed tq office many men in I legislatures which created those of fices. there now appears the story that Mr. Fountain's campaign manger once did much the same thing, in that he got a job on the highway commission In his own county. Meek- ; lenburg, in 1921. after having secured ! the enactment of the law that made 1 It possible. That development tends to equalise J the charges, but it does not remove ■ the public resentment against such practices, no matter who or which side is responsible or guilty. It is the feei -I°* of the rank and file of the peo ple. and that means the tnx-payens, that already there is far too much j of this kind of business. While a law to forbid any member of the legis lature holding an office which he j helped create might conceiveabiy de- j prive the State of good men whose ■ services it should have, at the same time it would seem the only way to remedy the abuse is by some such stfep. It is not fair to the tax-payers that pottiesl debts should be paid off by the creation of fat jobs and appoint ments made to them. This is not say ing that such a thing has been done, but it Is a fact that several members of the last legislature were given juicy plums In State offices when the General Assembly adjourned, and the average voter is left free to draw his own conclusions. Men in high public office should not be so susceptible to this temptation as that a law should be necessary to curb them. But legislative appoint ments follow nearly every session of the law-making body, bnd the people are beginning to -Wonder why it must be that way. MEN TURNING TO RELIGION. Adversity turns men to religion and to God. It has been so through the centuries, and this de | pression Is furnishing added 'proof if more were needed. For several years prior to 1929 there had been a slow but steady decline In church mem bership in the United States, and the j drift away from the church was caus ! ing no little alarm among religious I leaders. But it was a natural thing. . Men are prone to place tfabir reliance | in material and physical possessions | when they have a super-abundance : of them. 'Losses that have come to nearly every one in the last thrbe years have tended to sober the thoughts Os peo | pie everywhere, and the result is that ! the churches are again showing in- I creases in their membership. Dlscuss | ing the development, the Christian ! Science Monitor says; j "Statistically inclined individuals ! have doubtless long since grown weary of the persistent downward tendency of the highly developed charts and graphs that picture the state of the nation's business. The headlines of financial pages have, for much too long a time, told the story j of new lows here and liquidations [there and declines almost everywhere. ! Perhaps some of our current diffi j culty finds its source in the fact that, like it or not. we have had our at tention focused on these things. At an yrate, it is a notable relief to turn from them to a consideration of the | facts of one great enterprise which, in ; measurable essentials is expanding. "A few days ago the Christian t Herald released its annual church I census. This census, conducted for • nearly hal fa century by this maga zine. is the only authoritative yearly inventory of the numerical progress of American Protestantism. The reports for the year 1931 are decidedly sig nificant. "Taking the grand totals, there are at present 49.752,443 members of churches —Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish—in the United States. This represents an increase of nearly half ja million members over 1930-the lar j gest increase reported in several ! years—and the largest total ever rec j orded in the nation's history. Such a j show of increased strength tends to j confirm the oft-expressed belief that j the churches thrive in a crisis, i “But there is more of significance ‘ In this census than the report of the progress of 1931. Cynical commen , tutors on our social order have mark ed. as they thought, the decline of the 1 influence of religion. The facts seem |'o point to an opposite conclusion. For i the century and a half for which sta j tistics are available, the church in the ! United States has never lost ground ! in any period. The increase in mem j bership—as good a key, perhaps, as j any available—has kept steadily ahead [ of the growth in population. The year j 1.850 saw the nation’s largest popu lation increase—3.s9 per cent. But for | that year church membership ln [ creased 4.32 cent. “Moreover, for those who are in clined to point to "the good old days" it is important to call attention to | the fact that in 1800 only 6.8 persons [ out of every 100 of America’s popu lation were church members. In 1931 i 40.1 per cent were church members, i an< * that percentage has shown an | increase in every decade since the I opening of the nineteenth century. "These figures are more than or | dinarily encouraging. They indicate j that, whatever may be amiss else where. the custodians of the nation’s spiritual life are still solvent; that they are, in fact, actually gaining in strength and at a rate more rapid than in the years of great prosperity. That is significant. It furnishes some proof that "by ‘ J !fb TftFans are 'all Am erica’s resources of the sogt that : can be depreciated or ssv'ept i the tides of economic circumstance. And in the flribl anifysis a. nhtioi' In t which religion is making progress is not likely for long to retreat in other | important matters.” PLATING WITH FIRE. Instead of directing their energies and ingenuities toward assuring har mony in the Democratic National Con vention next week, a large contingent j of the advance guard is and has been in Chicago for several days racking their brains over methods of forcing , rhelr own desires and contentions up j on that convention. They are playing ; w <th fire and either do not know it or do not care, or are willing to take the risk and trust to luck at restor ing harmony afterwards. That risk has been taken before and almost al , ways has brought disaster upon the party’s fortunes at the polls in the subsequent election. Whether Governor Roosevelt wins or not, there is no fairness or justice in attempting to break the ancient two-thirds rule so that it may apply at this convention. It is a vicious re-| striction, but if the party wishes it; abrogated, now is the time to do it for the convention four years hence,' but not for 1932. \ If such a step is actually attempted,! it will mean a measuring of strength! ''by Roosevelt and the field that is. arrayed against him. Abrogation of the two-thirds rule la not sought or desired at fhie convention by any ofbtrs thkn tbl stooffevaU %\ipperfefe, HENDERSON, (N. C.J UASiY WSPATCH- SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1982 * and if successful, would help no can didate but their own. That is why it would be unfair and unjust to all the other presidential aspirants. Governor Murray has said that if they succeed in forcing the measure, it will mean the formation of a third party and the certain defeat of Roosevelt. It would create a cplit in the party com parable to that of 1924 anJ 1928, and a far greater cleavage than has been brought about in the Republican party, as seriors for them as that is. The Republican party has gotten along wonderfully well by permitting a mere majority of its convention votes to nominate the candidate. There is no reason why the same sort of policy would not just as well serve the Democrats. The two-thirds rule ought to be abandoned after this con vention but applicable only after this year’s candidate has been selected and made effective in 1936. at a time when it will show no partiality to any one, but will be fair to all presidential as pirants. The Democrats have the best chance to elect a president in 1932 they have had since Woodrow Wilson's day, pro vided they do not throw it away. But the advance guard at the convention city gives every indication of a fight that may produce similar disastrous results. *1 J AM ES*AS WELTI* By Central Press Paris, June 25 —The newest wrinkle in Parlsien night life is a cabaret named “The Speakeasy.” Through a heavy steel door with a peep-hole one passes circulatiously into the bar — Where, according to the advertise ments. “you can get everything you find at home except bath-tub gin.” The appeal, of course, is directed at Ameri cans. ■"■tf 1 ■ \ And enough of these seem to have been reached to make the place a sec cess. It Is startling, and a bit wistr ful, to see New Yorkers hail the keep er of the portals with “You know me, Joe. I’m a friend of Joe Zilch’e.” They are intrigued by the idea of coming to Paris to go to a speakeasy. DOME DAYS I took a long and lazy glass of cof fee the other evening at the Case du Dome with Jack Wilhelm, the young American who draws the "Prank Mer riwell” story strip for Burt L. Stand ish. At the next table was Lou Holtz, the comedian, who had jump ed over for a quick vacation. An habitually pert and uppity fellow, Lou was leaning back, gazing up at the stars and singing softly under his breath. | ] a More than alcohol or the iren call of Parisien wee-hour goings on, this sense of time’s essential unimportance has corrupted expatriates seeking to work here. That life at the tables is insidious in its casual charm. There are dozens of “crowds,” composed of Americans. English, natives of the remote outposts of the world. They gather here in the duck with no more definite rendezvous than habit, and talk, talk, talk while the saucers, each marked with the amount of drink it held slowly stack up on the tables. Another half hour of pleasant loafing and then back to work —but the half-hour’s pyramid and pretty soon youth and the time of 'achievement are over. a gjhylng habitue of the Dome, now’ able tp affor£ A no, more* than a sir^le j* dup of cdffee i n an evening, is- the' victim of these multi plying reprieves from toll.

FORTUNE’S WHEEL Paris is full of tqll tales and incred ble “true stories” Several years ago he news services carried a fantastic yarn concerning one Jack, banyan in one of the American places in the opera district. He was. it seems,, lounging at hb job one afternoon, idly spinning a small piece of Checko-Slovak copper money. A customer inquired, “What/s that?” Jack replied, “Only a luck piece.” and the man said instantly “Give it to me, I’m going to a chemin-de-fer casino at Le Touquet tomorrow and if I win I’ll give you half.” lackadaisically, Jack handed, over the piec e of change. It had never brought him very much fortune, any way. Four days later the stranger returned to town, looked up Jack and presented him s2so,ooo—half of the winnings. The papers carried Jack’s story. There were interviews in which the barman told of th* realization at last of his dream of starting a chicken farm in the provinces. Then the yarn faded, as years do, from prints. What was never revealed, and what, I learned today, was that Jack went back to his post at the beer spigots another Paris thirst emporium a few months later. Dizzy with his wind fall, hb had begun to haunt the cas inos himself—with a result which you. can guess. portrit At n party composed of riotously gay South Americans—w stout gebt&man with ruddy cheeks and a large som brero hat. sipping, with a look of rapt joy on his face, a large icfc creafa soda.

DECLARES SPRAYING NOT PROPERLY DONE Damage Due To Failure To Follow Directions, Sanders Says Complaints by some tobacco grow ers that the spray used on plant beds not only did not kill the flea beetles and stop blue mold, but ac tually damaged the young plants, was met with the assertion today by J. W. Sanders, county farm agent, that the preparation was not done pro perly. In this opinion, he is supported by E. Y. Floyd, tobacco specialist of State College. Mr. Sanders said the solution was either used too often or too much was applied at a time, in many instances. He called attention to the success in prevention as experienced by some growers who used the solution accord ing to directions as furnished by spe cialists of State College. "There has been much complaint," Mr. Sanders quoted Mr. Floyd as say ing, "of damage done by spraying the plants with the Bordeaux mixture re commended by the college specialists. Examinations of affected beds show that the spraying was not done pro perly.” Mr. Floyd said some growers did not mix the materials as recom mended nor was the solution propertiy applied. “The spray,” he said, cannot be made by dumping the biuestonb and jipjf a tub and mashing it up ahd th£n applying water. Nor can pro per spraying be done with a pine top. The solution must be of even strength and the plants must De thoroughly covered and kept covered as new growth appears.” Mr. Floyd was further quoted as saying that, despite the lack of plants he did not expect the acreage to be reduced over 35 percent. "Growers generally,” he said, “plant far more tobacco than they expect to set in the field." Those who had plants, he said, took better care of them, and he thought there would be enough for 65 percent of last year’s acreage. But conditions have worked against the planting since the statement by Mr. Floyd was made recently, and the prediction is that this section of the tobacco belt there will not be more than half a crop at best. . FOUNTAIN BACKERS ARE WORKING HARD (Continued from Page One.) link Fountain's campaign up with that of Robert R. Reynolds, who is seeking the nomination for the Sen ate from Senator Cameron Morrison, according to reports reaching here, in spite of the claim by the Fountain managers here that they are conduct ing their campaign on its own merits and not trying to link it up with that of any other canddates. But the re ports have been coming in here steadily for some days that either the Fountain managers or Fountain sup porters are exceedingly active in "talking up” both Fountain and Rey nolds and in urging the Democrats in these counties to vote for these two candidates in the second primary. This is not true in ail of the eastern counties, of course, since there are some counties in which the sentiment is strongly for Fountain and Mor rison, But It is a fact that in most of the counties Jn .which a vote i was c*st for Fountain, that Reynolds ! Who Says the Democrats Never Get Any “Break?*? , r~~~ iwA / i ? i JST ’ r<r^V , S?-V W l . ill _u-^i i PL2\y x *MKuR > l?tefe ii ?' i / Ijjlk ifliui BO'" . i\\>liw^yr - received almost as large a vote and, in some cases a larger vote than Foun tain did. These reports of an evident effori to link the Fountain and Reynolds campaigns together ,in the eastern part of the State are proving some what embarassing to the Reynolds campaign organization, and John Bright Hill, state campaign manager for Reynolds, has already taken cog nizance of these reports by declaring that the Reynolds campaign organi zation has made no alliances with any other candidate or candidates and has no intention of so doing. "The Reynolds campaign organiza tion is not interested in any way in the candidacy of any one except Mr. Reynolds and it has not and will not align itself in any way with any other candidate.” Hill said again today. None of the reports heard here in dicate that any of those connected In any way with the Reynolds cam paign organization or that any of his supporters are endeavoring to connect Reynolds’ campaign with that of Fountain. In fact, indications are that they are trying to avoid it and coun teract it. While Reynolds would not be likely to suffer in any way from any link up with Fountain in the eastern coun ties that are decidedly for Fountain there is no doubt that if the impres sion should become general that there was such alinkup between the Foun tain and Reynolds supporters in the east, it might become embarassing to • Reynolds in the Piedmont and western counties where the sentiment is over whelmingly for Ehringhaus, but where Reynolds also received a heavy vote in the first primary, it is agreed in political circles here. For there were j thousands upon thousands of Demo- J crats who voted for Ehringhaus who also voted for Reynolds, especially in the Piedmont and west. But if the im pression becomes general that Foun tain is hoping to get the Democratic nomination away from Ehringhaus by hanging onto Reynolds rather damp coat tail, especially with Reynolds knowledge and consent, it may mat erially injure Reynolds chances, it is agreed. There are indications that Reynold’s managers are beginning to sense this. The Ehringhaus managers are not in the least disturbed at these reports, however, since they are convinced that those who supported him in the first primary will support him again in the second primary and that any attempt by Fountain’s followers to tie onto the tail of the Reynolds kite will no tin any way injure Ehringhaus. They admit it may gain a few extra votes for in the east but that it will iftit help him trover the State as a whole. Borah and Garner Bombs Upset Many Apple Carts (Continued from Page One.) with which Borah quickly followed it were generally interpreted bus signify ing willingness to acquiesce in the president's individual candidticy in consideration of a personally dry ex pression from the White House tenant. In response to this overture, as it was regarded, tha presidential board of strategy virtualy had decided upon the slogan “reaffirmation” (reaffirma tion of prohibition) when the Garner proclamation started a fresh commo tion, aggravated by the mal-adroit ness of Senator Fess in trying at the most inopportune moment to clear Postmaster General Brown and Trea sury Secretary Mills of the charge made by Borah that both are wring ing wet at heart. Borah, driven to defense of his posi tion, had no option but to quote from conversations Brown had with him .in which he said Brown had admitted the likelihood of return in the event of the modificaton of the eighteenth amendment, Brown added, according to Borah, that he would prefer it to present conditions. Borah attributed.to Mills a reference to pro hibition as a festering sore on the body politic. This in turn compelled Bsown and Mills to resort to outright denials of Borah's account of his talks with them, thus probably hopelessly anta gonizing the Idaho solon and at the same time stultifying themselves in their position as sopping wets, which it would have been far better for them to have retained for the satis faction of the G. O. P. repeal element. SILENT VOTE MAY TIP SENATE RACE (Continued from Page One.) campaign organization Is at last be ginning to take hold in the State and show some results. The Morrison workers at last seem to have found some real enthusiasm and to be get ting some favorable reaction. The first week or more after State Campaign Manager Don Scott took charge of the Morrison campaign headquarters, it appeared to observers as if both Scott and Morrison were up against a stone wall and that no progress was being made. But reports that have filtered in here the past few days from out lying sections of the State indicate that a genuine revival for Morrison is under way in many localities and that he seems to be making some real gains for a change. Friends And Foes Os Measure Claim They Will Win Out (Continued from Page One.) fight came today as the opponents added recruits and started a coaition movement to bolt any nominee who does not receive the two-thlrda con vention majority. Vincent Dahlman, chairman of the, Illinois delegation, said an attempt was being made to throw Kb 58 mem bers behind the Rooeeveltlan move to abrogate the two-thirds rule and elect Senator Walsh, of Monatana, as per manent convention chairman .A fight appears in prospect, however, before the stand of the Illinois delegation is determined. Michael Igoe. the Illinois member of the resolutions committee, and one of the delegation ladere, said he was apposed to abrogation of the rule.
