ENDING THE STRIKE
Attorney General Daugherty or.
Monday will not ask the court to in
clude in the permanent injunction an
order preventing the right of the
shopmen to assemble peaceably. He
also will strike out those items that
' would abridge the freedom of speech
nnd of the press. All three are in
violation of the constitution and of
the Clayton act.
The government need not violate
the constitution to break the strike.
Jt was broken before the government
took a hand, it is generally agreed,
and the attorney general's action was
merely designed to freeze it as rapidly
as possible.
The public had no sympathy with
,the strike from the start and the law
less acts that soon resulted alarmed
the whole country. The strike was
doomed to failure and a strong hand
by the government, which could use
many cards besides the injunction,
caused the leaders to make haste to
effect a settlement.
WORTHY MEETING
.The citizens of West Hickory and
Longview will assemble at the taber
nacle next Wednesday evening for the
purpose of stressing law enforcement
and taking any agtion that may be con
sidered . necessa ; in a campaign to
arouse public irrcerest in respect for
the decencies of living. The meeting
will be held under the auspices of thf
citizen's enforcement league.
It is to be hoped that as many men
and ' women as possible will attend
the meeting. It is to enlist the hearty
support of every good man and wo
man. While lawlessness may not affect
a mature citizen, it makes it harder
to bring up children properly. It is
a privilege free Americans, have to
stand for law enforcement.
The evangelistic services to begin
at the First Methodist church here
Sunday will bring the members of
that congregation together in a work
that ia expected to result in good to
the church its members and the
community. Rev. C. S. Kirkpatrick
will do the preaching himself, but
will be assisted by a singer of note.
An invitation is extended the public
to attend.
The shopmen's strike on the South
evn is likely to be settled in a few days.
The union leaders are expected to
vote in Chicago Monday to make sep
arate agreements with the roads. It
, is a safe proposition that the South
I f rn shopmen, who have been offered
their old places back, will accept.
The worst hog in the world are

A FOOLISH QUESTION

Did the -negative win in a strike

Greensboro News.
The construction of the automobile
highway from Black Mountain to
within a mile of the top of Mitchell is
introducing hundreds and thousands
of North Carolinians to a wonder
land that many of them never guessed
existed in their native State. But to
those among them who have eyes to
see, it is revealing also the criminal
folly of North Carolina in permitting
that wonderland to be well-nigh ruin
ed by reckless and greedy commerce.
The slopes, of Mitchell along that'
road are a dreadful and pitiable sight
wherethe forests have been ruthless-.
ly destroyed and the naked mountain-
side left a3 a monument to Tar Heei i
avarice and indifference to beauty. !
It is all the more humiliating,- to a
native when he remembers that it was
unnecessary. Proper methods of lum
bering could have taken out by far
the greater parfi of the marketable
timber and left the forest. It was no:
cutting the trees that converted' that
beautiful land into an abomination
of desolation. It was the criminal
carelessness that left the brushwood
scattered everywhere to furnish fuel
for the inevitable forest fives. Whal
the woodsman's axe left the fire., has
swept away; and only the small patch
salvaged by the State at the vey
summit of the mountain remains to
show .to the traveler how much love
lines. has been destroyed.
' When shall we, as a people, realize
that the inheritance of a thousand
years must not be sacrificed to the?
gieed of a single e-eneration? When
skall we realize that that sort of
greed always over-reaches itseii!
Had Mount 'Mitchell been preserved
and developed as a public park; it
would have drawn to North Carolina
in the course of a few years, more
money than the timber was worth;
and it would have continued to add t.
the nrosperity of the State through
all time to come.
There is only one small consolation
and that is in the. fact that most o;
the region has been taken over as r
national forest reserve. True, that
will not protect it altogether from t.;c
reckless lumberman, and will not de
velop it at all. But it will give the
country a chance to recover somewhat
from the ravages of the vandais o;
our day.
And then, with the land in thr
hands of the national government,
there, is always the possibility that
some day it may be converted into j:
national park, which would mean its
absolute presentation and its develop
ment as well. Were. Mount Mitehe?:
and its environs now included in a
national park we might rest assured
that our grandchildren would see the
mountain restored to the beauty it
possessed a decade ago. This genera
tion will never see it, and few children
now living will ever see it. So far
is we are concerned, it has been ruh:
A completely and permanently. But
'jpon us rests the duty of seeing to it
'hat it is eventually restored, say, 50
years hence. If we take steps now
uo that end, the time willomc when
t will witness a return of its ancient
?lory; and then, perhaps, this gener
ation may be forgiven for the crime
ogainst beauty which is committed.

GOOD FOR WAKE FOREST AND

Greensboro News.
Patriotism is one thing turd schol
arship is another, and neither ran be
substituted for the other without
uisaster. It is idiotic to argav, as is
sometimes done, that North Caro
lina colleges should look first for
North Carolinans, when recruiting

first for competent men. regardless
of: their origin, and it is inexcusable.
to put anything ahead of cornpet -
ence.
But when a Tar Heel school can
bring back one of its sons who h.-ts
wandered far afield and bring him
back with the knowledge that he is a
master of his job, it is entitled to
double congratulations. Wake For
est college this year has accom
plished that notable feat in at least
two instances. Rev. John Arcn Mc
Millan, who had warndered into
South Carolina, is brought back as
alumni secretary; and Dr. Roger P.
McCutcheon, who had gotten awriy
to Ohio, comes into the department i
of English.
How many years ago we sh&!l not ' s
confess, but long before he became
reverend. Arch McMillan as a stu
dent proved' that he is a wizard at
capturing the allegiance of his fel
lows, and irrltg what has become
known, in a later day. as jazzin,

Tvel of an alumni secretary. So
also Roger McCutcheon, ere the dig

upon him, proved not. only his pos

LA FOLLETTE'S VICTOiSY
Senator La Foliette's recent attack
on the United States supreme eouvt
and his championship of a constitu
tional amendment permitting congress
to nullity a supreme court decision
ty a mere majority vote would have
defeated him for lenomination by the
Republican party in many states ot
the union. But Wisconsin takes "Bat
tle Bob" to its bosom emce more by a
large majority. It makes not the least
difference what Senator La Foliette
thinks, says or does; he wiil probably
oe returned to tne senate so long as
he lives.
The contrast between Senator La
toilette and Senator Lodge, both
Republicans, is one of the most con
tusing aspects of our present-day
politics. If both can be Republicans
in good standing, anyone cap be a
Republican. The situation is such
nat a citizen can till his intellectual
satchel with the craziest assortment
)t ideas about government and poli
tics and walk straight into either the
Republican or the Democratic party
Hid be welcomed as a brother. . Mr.
Beveridge, who has received the Re
publican senatorial nomination ia In
diana, recently denounced Mr. La
Foiletto's supreme court - proposals
is no better than those of an .enemy
)f the republic, yet Bevericigy and
-.a Toilette live in neighboring states
md both are leaders of the Repub
ican party. La Foliette even has
'the edge" on Beverage inasmuch as
;he Wisconsin senator is now sure of
lection in November while the
ioosier statesman is not.
La Foliette's latest triumph in his
lome state indicates that in effect he
;as put both the Republican and the
Democratic parties out of business
n Wisconsin. He is so far in actual
opposition to the Republican national
administration and leadership that
.he iJemocratic paity cannot flurish
n the same state with him. There is
no u:,e for it as. a party of opposi
tion, and it will be found in Novem
ber that the Democratic candidate
.'or the Senate will make a very dis
nal showing against him. On the
iepublican side Senator Lenroot per
sonally has thus far survived, yet the
.enroot influence proved negligible
;n this primary when thrown in
Javor of La Foliette's opponent.
Since La Foliette. suits the W isconsin
iolicialists, his supremacy may be
onsidered complete in spite oi his
var record and his systematic" po
.tical errancy and sabotage.
If" Senator Lodge, should be re
flected, he and La" Foliette would
ontinue to sit almost cheek by jowl
m .the Republican side of the cham
ber for six years more the one the
arch conservative, the ether the arch
radical of the United States senate.
