requirements Instead of what gener ally was called the south What father would like most to get out of his new car is the rest of the Herald DEMOCRATS LOST CHEROKEE Numerous irregularities being al leged in the election in Cherokee county especially in Hothouse pre cinct where'it was charged the elec tion was somewhat informal as among friends with no particular ref erence to the election laws Mrs Giles Cover acting chairman of the Democratic committee of the county asked the county election board to call a new election and order a new regis tration After further consideration Mrs Cover conceded1 the election to the Republicans and withdrew the re quest for a new election The lady chairman in asking for a new election doubtless had primary elections in mind which may be re peated under certain conditions Reg ular elections earn be repeated1 If irregularities are alleged contests may be made before coupty and State election boards If the decision of the election boards fails to satisfy com plainants may go into the courts with the conclusion there being the end of it In the Cherokee caseit was the Democrats who sawirregularities when it was discovered that the Re publicans had the bulge Since the Democrats have control of the elec tion machinery they evidently on re consideration decided not to press the claim that the Republicans had something over on them while had the election machinery in hands MR ICKES WITH US 'Secretary of Interior Ickes who had the decision gives North Carolina that for which it asked in the routing of the' Shenandoah Great Smoky older children baby had OPEN TO DISPUTE The officers of our armed forces you hear from the privates for they are not permitted to speak out arc much given to acclaiming on all occasions and making the oppor tunity to proclaim when it of fer that a big army and navy are essential to peace that is that are in no danger of attack from the outside if we are so well fixed to fight that it is pretty certain we can take care of ourselves Naturally the military officials are that way They are talking for their trade It is agreed that we should not leave our selves so open as to invite attack but how much is necessary in the arming is the subject of everlasting dispute The military officers never seem to be satisfied 'But if being equipped to the last word is the best insurance of peace we are wondering if history show that whenever a naticV got that way it started something be cause feeling its strength it felt able to overcome all comers The world may be wrong about it but it has be lieved all along that Germany started the world war because it felt able to overcome all opposition North Carolina the more especially in the western section thereof The secretary appointed a committee of Mr can as ordinary process of business It is not the purpose of course tocontinue this method indefinitely The idea is that presently the system may be so regulated that the farmer and all other industry will be able to stand alone Whether the goal is reached or whether the method of attaining it is the best 'may be open for talk But however that may be the country would be in bad shape in deed if something been done in that direction The consumer has paid heavy taxes all the years to aid tariff taxes The farmer has always believed he should have the same help and the argument with him HIS EELINGS TOO INE Bobbitt ranklin county re lief administrator was former service pffjcerof his legion post 'He was paid $11 expense another re port fixed the amount' at $171 by four veterans for assistance rendered securing1 compensation for them tliis 'being prohibited by statute Bob bitt was convicted in federal court and sentenced to four months in jail Leading 'citizens sent letters and peti tions (telling what a fine man Bobbitt ieu nnd Congressman Cooley insisted mat 'four hours in jail was too much fOTtJie Bobbitt standing Judge Meekins cut it to 60 and letit gq Kt that' All "and sundry must be impressed at times to learn of the fine sensibili ties of so many people who fall under the condemnation of the law The natural thought is that the fine sensi bilities of persons who would be ut terly crushed if they are 'sent to pris oq must have been on leave whenthey committed the wrong! Being service officer of the legion it is im possible to believe that Bobbitt know that he was prohibited from taking money from his war buddies to aid them in securing compensation The prohibition is to prevent the vet erans being robbed as they would be by the But in the case at bar the fine sensibilities of Mr Bobbitt not only failed to recognize the law but the fact that he was put on the job by his legion post to ren der free service to his war comrades If the fine sensibilities so con spicuously absent at the time they can stand the 60 days in jail which is Three children of Andrew Gear aged 14 5 and 14 months were asleep in the same bed in their home in Cin cinnati The oldest a girl was aroused by a strange man leaning ov er the bed you scream mur der the burglar said The girl screamed and the man choked her and struck at the other children When the parents answered the alarm the burglar had fled The were not hurt but the ceived a fatal injury On the theory that tering sleeping apartments will rather than risk capture burglary is a capital felony in some states is that in North Carolina The murder of the baby in Cincinnati will call for approval pf the death penalty for burglary But the death penalty is provided for murder and the burglar if captured would have to answer for that if burglary was no more than a misdemeanor Since the death pen alty for burglary is ignored in our state by courts and juries or the gov ernor commutes in case of a death sentence there can be no good reason for failure to remove the death pen alty for that offense It is better so seeing that failure to enforce the penalty help to respect for law If there is murder the offender can be tried for that The same ap plies to the death penalty for arson If there is serious injury in case of burglary that can be taken care of in the punishment the same as a similar injury would be if inflicted under other circumstances THEY DO US PROUD Making our manners to Price Braw ley and introducing him to his Jredell fellow citizens and to fhe public at large as an outstanding citizen who has accomplished things that are worth while Price Brawley is 17 1 years old Seven years ago at the family Nothing is said about the ounces' be tween one to five AU of which' is valueless as "a practical proposition as other so called scientific tests sometimes! are Unless thedriveris sb much overcome that all may see he is likely to deny that he was un der the influence If he claims that he took but one ouncethe amount must be determined by his condition as revealed by his actions After the drink is consumed it is impossible for any sort of expert to say how much the' drinker has on except as his ac tions are a basis to guess' An ounce upset some ttf the extent that they would be unsafe while others of the experienced variety might' take on rpore than the allowance of the ex perts 'and "stillcarry it sowell that the had from the west at Gat Un it would have if its con thc scenic highway were additional reason for my decision in favor of the North Caro lina route Not only is the North Carolina route more scenic than the Tennessee route but by reason of its higher altitude on the average it can be depended upon for lower tempera tures during the months of greatest travel This route has the additional advantage that for about 60 miles it will traverse the Pisgah national for est' It will have to cross only three fairly large streams namely the Lin ville the Swannanoa and the rench Broad rivers while on the other hand the Tennessee route would have to cross seven rivers Running near the tops of the ridges as it will the North Carolina route will afford a view of the surrounding country and offer to the eye scenery that would not be accessible toyso great a degree if the Tennessee rxte were adopted It is my opinioft that in the end Tennessee and North Carolina while profiting equally will each also profit in greater degree with the eastern terminus of the parkway at Cherokee and the western one at Gatlinburg than if Gatlinburg offered the only entrance People entering the park at Gatlinburg will want to go through the park and out on the North Caro lina side And equally people from the east reaching the "park through Cherokee will naturally want to leave it at Gatlinburg More people will be attracted to the park if there are both of these entrances than if there were only one and with few exceptions all people entering at one of the entrances will not be satisfied until they have seen the other Two entrances will mean greater circula tion greater diversity of interest and greater freedom of movement all having the effect' of 'attracting more people That is good sense the interior sec retary talks Wonder is after reading it that there ever was any dispute about the North Carolina part of it seeing that as fixed it must be of eral advantage to all concerned Our folks should remember Ickes if and when he becomes a didatc for President some time has been suggested It certainly should not be held against him he was formerly a Republican THEY RAISE A DOUBT Through the years North Carolina Republicans have complained with bitterness and vehemence at times that the Democrats are all the time cheating them in elections Some of their charges of election frauds are exaggerated but more than often they have foundation in abundance of fact While cheating or as the chiseling has been officially desig nated is not to be excused under any circumstances the Republicans are not so pure in such matters They have the same weakness when oppor tunity offers The Democrats are in the limelight in that respect in North Carolina because they control the election machinery just as Republic ans are in the limelight in Republican States Then there are occasional out croppings in Republican circles in North Carolina that weaken the Re publican demand for honest elections The Polk county case is an illustra tion In the Democratic primary in Polk complaint was made of in the voting The State board of elections composed of two democrats and one Republican put on an investigation that resulted in reconstructing the county board of elections because one or more mem bers were discharging a registrar or two if memory serves and then throwing out a lot of votes held irregularly cast The result was that the leading candidate for the legislature name of Cloud lost so many votes in the recount that the OBJECT TO An anti war conference held under the auspices of university students at Chapel Hill sent a telegram to the President urging that all 0 units in colleges be abolished difficult to keep up with all the ini tials but the designation when spelled out is if memory serves reserve offi training corps These are made up of college students who are given military training under the direction of an army officer furnished by the government idea being that in case of another war men thus trained will be in a measure equipped for mili tary service which is the prepared ness idea There is no unit at Chapel Hill but there is one at State college and one at Davidson The one at the church college has brought criticism from some of me preachers and the criticism compelled the abandonment of compulsory service which never could be defended unless we were ac tually engaged in war or it was in the offing The Chapel Hill meeting would have the money thus used spent to aid needy students through' college' 'Ihe government is doing a big bit 'in that direction now in the way of re lief work paying' needy students $15 per month on condition that they en gage in some work by way of return for the aid such work as self help students usually perform about the colleges Something can be said on both sides of the 0 business Our own notion is that it would be better to expend the money as suggested There is no fancy here for compulsory military training or the unnecessary injection of it into educational insti tutions But this is a changing world and to make sure of peace on the plan of the military officers it may be nec essary to imitate Germany and Italy and other furriners in that respect to make sure that we will keep skeerd of us I1 A CHEERING NOTE Here's a note of cheer of the so seldom met that it is worth sidering in view of the experience of the witness General Edward Hig gins of London in active service in the Salvation Army for more than a half century retired a few days ago as army head being succeeded by 'Evangeline Booth On the eve of his retirement General Higgins sent a message to lhe public in which he said the character and habits of the people of Great Britain and other countries have changed in the half century for the urther: is less cruelty than when I started my he continued once such a terrible evil is far less often seer and other flagrant social etils of fifty years ago are dess apparent 'The Salvation Army he said was not responsible for all these advances does claim it played a great General Higgins has been in posi tion to see the worst side the work in which he was engaged dealing in the main with the evils to which hu mans are subject He sees great im provement in public morals and since he claim all the credit for the betterment for the organization with which he is connected he may be credited with an unbiased view In any event the note is welcomed as cheering as distinctly encourag ing England has never had prohibi tion and if drunkenness is decreasing in that country that may be set down as a distinct moral improvement he at Gatlinburg Tennessee that North Carolinians feared that all was lost But the interior secretary comes up strong He says: 1 cannot escape the conclusion that the decided weight of the evidence is in favor of the so called North Caro 'iza route Heretofore 1 have already determined the route from the Shen andoah national park running west through the State of Virginia and across North Carolina as far as Blow ing Rock in the latter State My fur ther decision is that the route from Blowing Rock to the Great Smoky national park shall follow approxi mately the route suggested by the proponents of the so called North Carolina route that is to say west of Blowing Rock the route will run south of Linville City along the Blue Ridge and the Mount Mitchell and Craggy ranges which lie east of Asheville North Carolina thence into the Mount Pisgah range bending sharply north west on a line along that range west of Waynesville with an entrance in to the park at a point where it will connect with the Newfound Gap high way near Cheorkee North Carolina There is no question of the scenic advantages of the North Carolina route With that Mr Ickes goes on: Other things being equal it seems to me to be so inequitable and dis criminating as against the State of North Carolina to give Tennessee the sole entrance into the park both from the cast and burg which tentions for upheld This is an virtue oi merit ratner man oy politi cal influence In five cities among the largest in the south recent changes have occur red in the police departments each designed to place efficiency sobriety morality and physical qualifications on the highest plane in the his tory ''Dispatches under Atlanta date lines are sometimes open to question be cause they are on a high or a note' But the foregoing is accepted as having basis in fact even if it may not be quite as good as reported is accepted as cause for cheer Police efficiency can be obtained only in the way mentioned by selections on mer it So long as police officers are se lected from groups that must be pro vided with jobs on account of political affiliation or personal pull as has been and is yet very much the custom so long will the police force as a force be inefficient unable to meet the aggressions of the modern crimi nals who in equipment and head work have been keeping ahead of police forces generally The gangsters could be handled until the national gov ernment took on the job with a force selected on merit If that practice has begun in southern cities as At lanta informs we are cheered to be lieve it may become a habit in cities little and big in towns and villages and in counties PAGE OUR i JThe Landmark COMPROMISE VERDICT The verdict in the of Ralph Davis charged with first degree mur der for the slaying of Sheriff Kim ball was evidently a compromise as many second degree verdicts are Where the element of doubt enters or: where some the jurors are in disposed to send the accused to death because they may not be strong for capital punishment or for any other reason are not enough in doubt? acquit the verdict bf second degree murder offers a way out place to compromise differences between those1 who would go1 the way and those who Would not This of course is no reflection on the jupors The' issues were for their decision They had the responsibility and tin this they followed a custom: that is common There be many who believe that Davis was guilty of first 'degree mut der or nothing that he either shot the sheriff or that he did not The jury found thkt he shot The sheriff and with malice but not with pre meditation: what the' vettijict means The latjr partis its weak ness Considering that was an outlaw' a' recognized and admitted criminal 'wiihaVrecdd iff briirig dari 'his 'hand

the air under the outlaw's while the latter' shot Sheriff Gilbert Considering the circumstances it is a reasonable assumption that Davis shot the sheriff while he stood with his gun against the 5 since he had every reason' in consid eration of hisipersdhali safety to do so But then appeared the lead bul let which unquestionably1 killed the sheriff the one that entered his body and the theory that Davis was shooting steel jacketed it be ing in evidence thht it was a bullet 'of this character judging by the nature of the wound that struck Deputy Gil bert Of course it is reasonable that tfie outlaw had more than one gun Men of his type would not depend ordinarily on' one weapon' considering the possibility of accident But with that open toguess comes the expert testifying that the ball that killed the sheriff came from the pistol 'of Dep uty Gilbert! Whetherone' believe that expert is able at all times to trace a particular ball to a par ticular and there are many who emphatically do' hot so believe not only as a matter of commpn sense' but because the record is against it still an element' of doubt that would: intrude Certainly there Was room to question no matter what 1 one may personally believe 4 That element evidently preventedsome of the jurors agree to sendDavis tb the electric chair assuming that "there mayhaye been divisionatthe ddtset! is assumed from time given to con sideration But they could not agree to acquit degree verdict offered the way out While the maximum penalty for this particular offense is 30 years in State prison there was enough other wise against Davis to keep him in prison for the balance of his days i if he can be kept One of his sort is hard to keep in prison and there are many escapes But that an ex cuse for the death penalty on general principles if the accused guilty of first degree

processing taxes of course come off the consumer But since all taxes come off the consumer there is no argument about the processing taxes in this respect After all is said and done it must be agreed that the country can be' prosperous only when our basic industryis prosper ous That means when farmprod ucts bring a price that will see the producer in the clear with a bit of profit The higher prices for farm products necessary to prosperity come off the consumer of course En deavoring to pull the agricultural in dustry out of a hole the plan of farmer help was devised the cost to be met by
