1853 COURT FIGHT
LIKE THEONE NOW
Senate Refused To Ratify
Nomination of North
Member for Court
■ ):iily Knreaii.
In The Sir Walter Hotel,
Raleigh, iAug. 18 —Coincidentally
with the battle over confirmation of
Senator Hugo I'.lack as a member of
the United Slates Supreme Court, a
manuscript tolling how a United
States senator from North Carolina
was.denied confirmation to the same
lofty post has been received in the
office of Dr. C. C. Crittenden, secre
tary of the State Historical Commis
sion.
It deals with the rejection of Pres
ident Millard Fillmore’s nomination
of Senator George E. Badger. Whig
from North Carolina, whose confir
mation w;is “indefinitely postponed,
February 11, 1553. by a one-vote mar
gin, 26 to 25.
The manuscript, written by Dr.
Lawrence A. London, of Chapel Hill,
indicates that there is little new un
der the sun in the matter of issues.
The same reasons for refusal to con
firm were advanced then as are be
ing advanced now. In 1937 it is con
tended that Senator Black has “pre
judiced" issues which will come be
fore him and that he will interpret
the Constitution so as to give all
power to the Federal government.
In 1852, according to Dr. London's
manuscript, one of the senators said.
“As a politician Mr. Badger is distin
guished for his extreme Federal no
tions, which lead him always to inter
pret the Constitution so as to derogate
from the rights of the states and to
augment the powers of the general
government.”
Typical of the more abusive com
ment, such as has been heard in re
marks that Black's nomination is an
“insult,” one newspaper opposing Sen
ator Badger referred to his as a
“green-gilled Federalist.”
And the Wilmington journal of that
day remarked that while Mr. Badger
ought not to be confirmed, it almost
wished he could be so as to get rid
of him in North Carolina.
The error in Karl Marx’s messianic
ideal of the proletariat is that the
“working man’ can quite easily him
self become “bourgeous” and tyranni
cal.

Mrs. Graves could do little more
than look the Senate over this session
for leaders worked today toward ad

To this end the House sought to
wind up action on the Wagner low

The Senate devoted considerable
time to wiping minor bills from its
pre-adjournment slate. It has yet to
act on the tax loophole plugging till

bill, which the House passed yester
day.

decided to begin hearings October 1

Why It Is Surprising.
The peculiar feature of-lhe situa
tion is that President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hull have been unprecedent
edlv successful in their North Amer
ican contacts with our South Amer
ican brethren heretofore.
In the past a kind of northern
brusqueness has characterized our
dealings with our southern neighbors,
and brusqueness, of all things, is what
the Latin American resents. Tbe
Roosevelt administration seems to
have sensed this, and has been at
pains to be elaborately polite. This
policy has been wonderfully success
ful. South America had begun to
warm to us as never before.
Now we undoubtedly arc in danger
of having undone much of our pre
vious good work.

“Obsolete” Warships?
Brazil cannot cork up the Argen
tine, either, without outside help. It
has not the resources to do so, but it
might be able to do so with a few
leased North American warships.
These warships are described, in
deed, as “obsolete.”
v Nevertheless, a warship which, ac
cording to North American standards,
is termed “obsolete,” may be pretty
formidable, according to Latin Amer
ican standards.
Oh, yes, lease, if effected, will
provide that the leased ships must
not be employed in American inter
national warfare. Also such ships are
to revert to the United States if ever
we need them. But, at that, this very
clause hints that the ships are not

you that America drifts toward the
Scylla of dictatorship on the one hand
or the Charybdis c 6f anarchy on the
other.” . .
After quoting a long portion of the
historian’s letter, the President said:
“Almost, methinks, I am reading
not from Macauley but from a re
solution of the United States Cham
ber of Commerce, the Liberty League,
the National Association of Manufac
turers or the editorials written at
the behest of som£ well known news
paper proprietors.’’
“I conceive it to be true that I am
just as strongly in favor of the se
curity of property and the mainten
ance of order as Lord Macauley x x
x x and in this the American people
arb with me, too.”
He referred at another point to
that assertion:
“My friends, I am of the firm be
lief that th-a nation, by an over
whelming majority, supports my op
position to the vesting of supreme
power in the hands of any class, num
erous but select.”
“They (Macauley’? the
president said, “reject the principle of
the greater good for the greater num
ber, which is the cornerstone of dem
ocratic government.”
Under the latter, Mr. Roosevelt said,
the “poorest are no longer necessarily
the most ignorant part of society.”
“Under it property can be secure;
under it abuses can end; under it ord
er can be maintained —and all of this
for the simple cogent reason that to
the average of our citizenship can be
brought a life of greater opportunity,
of greater security, of greater happi
ness.”
Recounting that in pioneer settle
ment “democracy and not feudalism
was the rule,” he said:
“I fear very much that if certain
modern Americans Who protest loud
ly their devotion to American ideals
were suddenly to be given a compre
hensive view of the earliest American
colonists and their methods of life
and government, they would prompt
ly label them socialists.
“They would forget that in these
pioneer settlements were all the
germs of the later American Consti
tution.”

The lynching occurred unexpected
after a month had passed since the
Negro, Albert Gooden, 35, was arrest
ed for the killing of Marshal Chester
Doyle, of Mason, Tenn.
Spurred by a firm denunciation of
the lynching as “one of the most hor
rible and disgraceful crimes in the
history of the country,” from Circuit
Judge R. B. Baptist, the jurymen pro
ceeded to hear witnesses.
Vaughan declared he would “wel

he said, “asking them to let the court
decide the case. But they laughed at
