Friday, February 21, 1*39 yet Physically fit , A newspaper photographer with more Ingenuity than good manner* took advantage of the President the other day in the White House and anappefl ftim while he removed bit gtaaaev, knttted th -bfstf ftibbwl bla. eyes and wrinkled his face. When the photograph was published, the uninformed would react at once to the suspicion that Mr. Roosevelt had gone to pieces physically.* Indeed, that was what the picture was taken for! j It Is a coincidence that Immediately prior to this unethical sort of business on the part of u hostile newspaper, Mr. Roosevelt's physician had remarked In a manner to reach the public that tlie lieallli of the President is better than at any time since he became President, And that lacks little of being a miracle. No President has ever labored under slicit u colossal' strain. His have been the shoulders of an Atlas. None has ever been more bitterly tortured by his enemies. He lias suf fered millions of verbal crucifixions. There Is but a single accounting for the phenomenon. Nature may not liuvo dealt us liberally In some respects with Mr. Roosevelt as with other men who have sat upon this American throne. Rut nature gave him over-abundance of that philosophy of life which makes one cheerful under adversity and happy amid misery. And nothing Is surer to keep the arteries from hardening than Just that.?Charlotte' Observer. GOVERNOR BLACKWOOD North Carolina Joins with its sister State in lamenting the death of its former Governor Blackwood. On the occasions of his visits to this State during his tenure of office the Governor Impressed for his courtesy and considerutenoss and the practicality of his democracy. The exactions of public service are seldom appreciated by those who have no avenue of approach to the worries, vicissitudes and iiarassments or those who hold high governmental places. No doubt the pressure laid upon Governor Rlackwood during his term of office had no Inslguillcunt part in undermining his stamina and hastening him along to what appears to mortal judgment to be a premature end. , ?Charlotte Observer. ADOPTS ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN An intensive newspaper advertising campaign designed to describe the far reaching and numerous advantages to Its patrons of the new, free pick-up und delivery service for less than curload freight shipments haH been Inaugurated throughout the southeastern states by the Seaboard Alr^LIne Railway. The new service became effective February 9. Previous to the adoption of this plan it was necessary for shippers and receivers of freight to take their shipments to the railroad freight station, and call there for incoming shipments. Now, the Seaboard organization assumes full charge or the complete. Job?having trucks collect the shipments at shippers' doors, take them to the freight station for transfer to Seaboard freight trains, and then deliver by truck to the s^cifled door at destination. An added feature of this new Seaboard plan is the nllowunce--tif five cents per hundred pounds to consignors or to consignees who prefer to do their own hauling to and from the Seaboard station. C- O. 1). shipments ure also included m this now plan. This makes possible for shippers the carrying on of cash business transactions at practically every point In the country. ' I he Seaboard has long been noted for Its progressiveness in providing its own people?the people of the South with the flnost in transportation. This new service follows that well established precedent, and placet the Seaboard organization at a person's command by a mere phono call to the Seaboard agent or representatlve.

Press Freedom Upheld By Court Washington, Feb. 10.?Unanimously championing continued freedom of the press, the Supreme court today invalidated a Louisiana newspaper tax imposed during the late Huey P. Long's regime. A strongly-worded opinion road by Justice Sutherland held the levy? Imposed only on largo publications? was a "deliberate and calculated device" to restrict the "circulation of information." Citing the nation's constitutional guarantee of a froe press, the court added that the Louisiana tax was "suspicious" in form, and levied with the "plain purpose of penalizing publishers." . | The tax 'law?passed in 1934 at Long's request?required publishers, both newspaper and magazine, with a circulation of 20,000 or more weekly to pay the state 2 per cent of gross receipts from their advertising. 12-Ounce Baby Expires Philadelphia, Feb. 11.?A twelveounce girl baby kept alive for eight days despite lack of medical facilities died today.

The communication, on stationery j of (lie international itinerant migratory workers' union, hoboes of America, was signed "Benjamin Benson, publicity director, Hoboes of America." "Joe Davis, president and 'king of the hoboes,' has instructed his lawyers to see that the constitutional rights of hoboes are not violated," the letter said. "As publicity director of our organization, I have suggested that the hoboes Btart another Coxey's army march to California this summer after our convention in Louisville, Ky., in May 2 to 9. "A hobo is a migratory worker. Not a tramp or bum." The letter came in an envelope with the return address, "Volunteers of America," Los Angeles. At these headquarters it was said Benson is known. The "Hoboes of America" stationery claims a membership for the organization of "over 811,000," with international headquarters at Cincinnati.

The story is that Redfern is living ' in the Tumuc liuraac . mountains in ; Western Guiana. Williams himself could hot immediately be reached for comment on the-"1 , ptory which is similar to that hrst told by Tom Roch, German-American explorer, two years ago. v I X Bellinger Rules in ' Favor of Sawyer Columbia, Feb. 14.?Governor Olin Johnston suffered hie third court defeat today In the state highway con! troverey with the reinstatement of I Chief Commissioner lien Sawyer and Issuance of an Injunction preventing him from pushing removal proceedings against Sawyer. Circuit Judge G. Duncan Bellinger of Columbia, Issuqd an order declaring the governor's eusyenalon of Sawyer was "null and void," dismissing removal proceedings" Johnaton had brought against him, and permanently enjoining the governor from seeking to f^move him. Johnston, at Waahlngton, declined to comment but persons clone to him here said there was a "distinct possibility" that the order might be appealed to the Htate supreme court, which overset his military road regime last year and now has his pending appeal from the circuit court reinstatement of three highway commissioners. Hoy A. Powell, secretary to the governor , meanwhile made public two rulings by Attorney General John M. Daniel that bore on the highway situation. One pointed out thut there was no law under which the governor could "anticipate" vacancies, apparently dashing any hope he may have had of appointing a majority of the highway commission and having them confirmed to the state in time to take office April 15. The other indicated that 22 state and approximately 60 county appointments he made at a special session last December were invalid for lack of confirmation. They Included five nominations to the highway commission. Terms of a temporary road board created by the legislature to serve until February 20 meanwhile approached a*i expiration without Immediate prospects of permanent legislation to reorganize the commission, and an extension of the temporary administration to April 15 was foreseen in some quarters. Judge Bellinger in his decision today ruled in favor of Sawyer on all three major points in the case before him, but lawyers said it was dubious whether Sawyer could step back in to run the dapartment February 20 under a statute vesting him with full authority when the commission was not "in session," in view of the status of the commission. Johnston has not decided 10 removal proceedings. The circuit Judge In effect ruled; that the executlvo proceeding against Sawyer took the wrong form, that he misinterpreted the statute in adjudging the chief commissioner suspended and that he was not legally entitled to prosecute his removal case. Judge Bellinger expressly provided In the order that his decision should not prevent "anyone" fron* bringing court action against Sawyer "If he has violated any laws of the State of South Carolina. He declined to pass upon the constitutionality of the statute under which Johnston suspended the chief commissioner in a repetition of his administration-long effort to oust him, saying It was unnecessary to do so at present. Citing the suspension statute, which authorizes removal for mishan-> dling state appropriations, the judge said "the governor would not have the power to remove the officer unless and until the officer has been convicted under an indictment rendered against him." He commented that "it is clear from the proceeding had In this matter that the governor does not deem the chief highway commissioner as coming within the purview of the provisions." The order pointed out that Sawyer was suspended on two counts, accept-j lng $550 of ltis salary after the governor had vetoed the appropriation for it and approving county highway ; reimbursement bonds when the governor construed a statute as forbid-1 ding such action. "I conclude and hold," the order set forth, "that the chief highway commissioner had ample authority to enter into reimbursement agreements on behalf of the state highway commission and various counties of the state."' Calling attention to a statute creating the office of chief commissioner j and fixing his salary, the order coni tlnued, "the salary drawn by the chief highway commissioner . . . was fixed in accordance with law, an appropriation for the, payment thereof was duly provided by the legislature and by virtue of his appointment Ben M. Sawyer was -*?ntitlvd to receive) same." Judge Bellinger hold that "it isclear the uuthority to suspend the chief highway commissioner is, by law, placduin the state highway commission and not in the governor." He said tho commission, which renlected Sawyer in 1933 to serve to May 24, 1937, had sole authority over the chief commissioner with a statement: ? ^ "The statute makes It plain ^ that f : r - I .
