Improving Employment Rela

■Management should recognize

by some of those in charge of
the campaign was that the farm

years time be knee deep In Rasp

years time they would have It

expected to get rich over night In
this enterprise, but it was the
unanimous opinion that It was a

Mr. Arnold Rash has employ

We are advised by Mr. and
Mrs. S. M. Burchette that her
father, Mr. J. C. Triplette, has
been quite sick at the Wilkes
Hospital, in North Wilkesboro.
We are hoping for his speedy re
covery. Mr. Triplette has long

Having kno%^'n Hon. John W. Ragland for many years, and
feeling that he is in every respect, splendidly qualified to dis
charge the duties of Superior Court Judge, we, his friends and
neighbors, take pleasure in recommending him to the Democratic
voters of the Seventeenth Judicial District for nomination to that
office at the coming primary.
Judge Ragland has served as Emergency Judge and proven
his qualifications for the office- His ability as a lawyer has long
been recognized in this section, and he has, in a very marked
degr'je, that peculiar quality known as the Judicial Tempera
ment. He is always fair and courteous and would make a Judge
of which the district and entire state would be proud.
We think him worthy and well qualified for the high office to
which he aspires, and we do heartily endorse and recommend
him for our next Superior Court Judge.

I many times of killing myself”

Scharrlnghaus climaxed 13 years
of courtship with the suggestion
jthat she had better “find some

banker-manufacturer for $100,-

breach of promise.'
But, though she thought of
suicide, she testified with feeling,
“I realized that would be playing
right Into his hand,” for that
“was what be wanted me to do."

Hiey Walt on P. R.
Men with long experience,
among them some of the fore
most leaders in Congress, who
usually can tell in advance what
Is going to happen next, are ut
terly at sea. All they can say, in
answer to questions as to the
legislative program, te, “W e
haven’t heard yet what the Presi
dent wants.” Thus, a short time
ago it was 'being predicted by no
less a personage than Speaker
Rainey that there would be no
legislation to regulate stock and
commodity exchanges, at this
session. Since then Mr. Rainey
has talked with the President.
Now he thinks there will be some
such bill. Congress is not draw
ing it up, however; it is waiting
for the Administration officials
to draft it and send It to the Hill.
All attempts to organize oppo
sition to the Administration and
the Democratic Party have prov
ed futile so far. Former Secretary
of the Treasury Ogden G. Mills
Is the only important voice that
has been raised in protest. Mr.
■MiU’s speech was expected, by
old-time Republican party work
ers, to be, a sort of rallylng-cry
which would bring an Instantane
ous response from the four cor
ners of the Nation, and crystal
lize Republican sentiment into
something like effective Opposi
tion. It had no such effect.
The very men who were re
lied upon to back up Mr. Mills
and encourage the effort to re
organize the Republican party
not oniv failed to come to the
rescue but some of them thought
it was ill-advised for Mr. Mills to
make such suggestions at this
time.
Eyes on Penn-sylvanla
Nothing could illustrate better
how far the fortunes of the Re
publican party have sunk in Na
tional affairs than the belief,
which is growing here among the
most cold-blooded political ob
servers, that Pennsylvania will
elect a Democratic Senator next
November. Pennsylvania has al
ways given a majority of any
where from a million votes up
ward to the R^ubllcan party. It
sounds incredible, but It really
looks as if those days were gone
forever.
There is beginning to be talk
among those who, while admit
ting Mr. Roosevelt’s complete su
premacy, are not in accord with
the policy of making the Indi
vidual subservient to the gov
ernment, of a completely new
