And aa an old news paper man. those efforts have won an admiration that I here' take he liberty of expressing. I trust the. the people not only of AshevlUv. hut of the ozen towna anil reaorta In this quarter of the Stute. are appreciative of the constant en thusiastic and intelligent work for the general prosperity of the whole mountain section that The Citizen is doing 1 have observed with pleasure 'the Unselfishness with which other communities are treat ed; - whatever the prospects or hopea of Hendersonvllle, Wayoes vllle. Marlon, Black .Mountain, Brevard or the "Sapphire Coun try" may be they are freely record ed in anil encouraged by The C'lti son. It Is cheerfully conceded by me that In speaking for the scenery and the c limate of this part, of the Old North .State you have 'a sub ject worthy of enthusiasm. They were appreciated by .many North Carolina gentlemen of the coast region about a half century be fore the railroad engineers success fully tackled the difficulties of the ascent at , Saluda Gap. Those gentlemen built summer homes here, the most noted settlement being that at Flat Hock: and each Summer or those Summers they did not spend In Newport. Sara toga or Paris they drove in their carriages 300 miles to their moun tain Hummer homes. I did not know these mountains until the railroad wax built through from Spartanburg in 1880; but how deeply must havo been their call to the "low coun try man" of South Carolina of three-quarters of a century ago. when he took hi way with his family across SOU miles of roads as they then existed In order to spend ,the Summer months in this climate! And so we must smile w.'th an Indulgence for human frailties when we hear the Hum mer visitor from Florida. Georgia or South Carolina say, after run ning around Pack Square at mid day: "It is Just as hot as at home." There have bean tremendous Improvements in this section in the last 10 years, more perhaps than the people living here all the time realise. But the turn in the tide for Asheville happened, I think, as far back as the coming here of the late George W. Van derbllt. When I go over these fine roads now, Mr. Editor, I fre quently think of the early March the year Blltmore Houae was completed. That month the road coming Into Asheville from the present Blltmore Station, was for some hundreds of yards on the Asheville side, Impassable for horsemen and there were aban doned wagons, axle deep in the mud! These as not "grand" mountains but they have qualities much bet ter for those seeking a Bummer home in a . cool climate they are restful and they are beautiful. This fact was pleasantly impress ed on me 15 years ago when com ing directly here after some time spent among the rugged red crags of the Rcekies. And recently from the treeless Andes, whose heights woulj abash three Mount Mitchells, piled one atop the other, my opinion of the section aa the better for restfulness and beauty is unchanged. Some day the people from these .hotlla..oJ.ahaJiIlddla.WtwlU. discover this mountain section as the best and most convenient refuge In Summer; and just as soon as you have the houses for them and let them know it. the wealthy Cubans" who now flock to the Green and White Mountains, will come to Western North Caro lina. ; Meanwhile, I congratulate The Citizen on its able efforts for the political and material benefit of this section and hope that its re wards may be commensurate wi'h the worthiness of its efforts.

Good nursing means more than taking a temperature, giving a dose of med icine or a haili. Nurses are not "born" and there are mi "short cuts" to the profession it is ac quired and developed only through months and years of carefully planned and carefully executed routine care of the sick Nursing procedures reunite a deftness, skill jjid ' precision . cmpura-bla In other.. arts. To quote the founder ol our profession, "Nursing is an Art, and If It is to be made an Art It re quires, as hard a preparation as tile painter's or"arulptor's work, for what Is having to do with dead canvas or cold marble compared with having to io with the living body?" Health Includes spiritual, mental, nnd moral, aa well as physical wel fare, and no preparation for such responsibility can be unnecessary or ton long. Very truly M A It Y P I.AXTO.V. It. N. Pres. X.

GREAT IMPETUS TO NMIHKSR Editor of The Citlien: Asheville Is now engaged In an undertaking which will give great er impetus and development in the raising of larger funds ror adver tising and other Chamber of Com merce activities than any event since the famous Hoard of Trade campala-n in 1912, when JSO.OOO was raised for three years Cham ber of Commerce activities. The 1912 campaign required a solid week and until 10:30 o'clock on Saturday night before the entire 130.000 was raised. The present campaign for Invest ment memberships in the Asheville Chamber of Commerce and ade quate finances, contemplates five times the amount raised in 1912 or S50.000 a year with a liow.uuu lor inree yeare. Even this amount is far toes' small to advertise the great city of Asheville with its sixty million dol lars of resources. J have the utmost faith In tae business Interests and all cltiMms of Asheville that the amounbvof Principle Is Eternal (By Savoyard) Asain. and for about 'be twen tieth time, that pnliii.nl ideality known ns Wilsnnlsm has been "killed" In the perpetual conflict between 'ruth and error on the Held of political alrife It reminds of how they used In kill Clivclnnd -Ism. every now ainl then, s.itne thirty add years ago. When he was Governor of the State of New York a demagogue i.nd unprincipl ed legislature enacted a measure fixing the fares at tlye rent on the eleaied niilrorids of New York City It was an oMte'eillpg pop ular scheme. Mr. Cleveland, I'ow ever, aw In It a .ioUtioti of a solemn contract be'ween 'he Slate and the elevated rj.il -companies. An old fashioned, stubborn, honest man, Mr ('levels nd-could never be made to see how anything good could coma from a violation of plighted faith, snd he sinni Ive cents fares with a veto that put nil end to the thing till a new con tract could be negotiated between the Htstes and the elevated loads. Then lr was that tidings yere wired to all quarters of our glori ous I'nlon that Governor Cleve land had destroyed himself sa a factor of the great American po litical equation, it look"d like it. Xol since Major General Andy Jackson had gone to Heaven had the American public seen any such moral courage aa this Mr. Cleve land had given exhibition of. It spoke in trumpet tone, not In words but in action. "I'd. rather be right than President!" All the political fortitude-and all the po litical integrity between the two oceans sat up and took notice and came to the Conclusion: "This Is a man:" And so It oaine about that Orover ( leveland was nominated for Pre! dent the United States by the Dcmocratlo Parly thut loved him "for the enemies he had made." He was elected over Iheh most de votedly loved and the most bril liant leader the ltepubllcan Party ever produced. When Grove Cleve land came to Washington to be President he fetched that' entire store of Clevelandism of which ht wa possessed and set It up in the White House. He was President In fact as well as In name. When ever and wherever he saw a sham he smote It, regardless of conse quences. As the eouqtry had not seen anything like it since Major General Andy Jackson's day tiw country was dazed, unprepared as the country was for the reception of so bounteous store of civic v!r- ln o'lttlf. There was a revolt in the total otJ'rjWtasniailc ranks. Tammany mdo , T liii .. .llSsislh .the II I' i In.

For over a year It has been my dream-to see this campaign put on for more members and adequate finances and the re-organlzatlon of the plana to a business council, and I shall be most happy Indeed when fhta hM h.fln aMinmtill.ha whnn I will leave the Chamber at Com merce a strong, powerful, result getting organization which has no other reason for existing, except the up-buildlng of Asheville, Bun combe County and Western North Carolina.

Editor of The Citizen In justice to the Schools ot Nurs ings connected with our hospitals, awi to the Nursing profession at large, the article "More Money, More -Nurses," hlch appeared In your issue of the sixth should not go unchallenged. Your statement, "It is upon the graduates of the Hospital Train ing School that the Army of Pub lic Health service depend to re cruit their staffs." is perfectly true. From the same source the ranks ol the Red Cross, the Institutional Nurses, Instructors, Child Welfare, Social Service, Industrial Rural and City Public Health Nurses, Sanitary Inspectors and Private Duty Nurses are recruited. Is It re markable that the supply is not equal to the demand? A recent inspection of the ac credited Schools o' Nursing in North Carolina shows that the classes have their full quota of students. Many of the schools have a number of applicants on their waiting lists, in spite of, (or perhaps because of.) higher edu cational and other... requirementg- for admission. .. -. Reports from other states, given at tbe National Convention in June, are equsqlly gratifying. Though the Nursing profession is less than 60 years old the records of 1921 1910, to July. 1916. the sum of $229,588 has been expended the Chamber of Commerce for ad vertising and all other activities in which it has been engaged, or an average of $18,965.00 a year not a bad showing in view of the fact the membership In the Asheville Board of Trade In 1910 nnd for two years after, was $6.00 a year, 50 cents a month or less than a cent and three-quarters a day. My Immediate Dredecessor had only $1,842.00 a year to expend for ait purposes. It may Interest the public to know that the first year of my in cumbency, or for the year ending aune stf, tna amount expend ed was $4,255.00, wh.'le for the year ending June 30, 1921, the to tal amount raised for all purposes was 4l,ao4 mlrreer raised a boodla fund :nf $480,000 and sent It tj Matt 0"3.v then in New i ork and in charge of the Republican campaign. The money was spent, the books were burned, an act thut always is equvalent to a plea of guilty nd Harrison carried New York by less than 13,000 votes in a total vols of the State, numbering 1.317,61 Yet Cleveland got 100,000 more of the popular vote of the entire Union than Harrison got. And now it was again heralded to all points of the compass that Clevelandism was certainly dead and hopeless of resurrection. Antl Cleveland Democrats, such as Gor man, Tammany Hall and others of like Ilk, together with the victori ous Republicans held a love feast. The G. O.

Government St. making a mononolv tariff. It nisi set about a settlement 'of the coin age question by enacting' . the Sherman silver law that put every body and everything in the Unlor. on the silver basis except the Uni ted Btates Treasury. .... Then It was that business, real business, honest business, sat up and took notice. Before the en actment of the Sherman silver law ninety per cent, of the tariff reve nue wus paid in gold. After that law went into effect the customs house got not a rent of gold. All tariff taxes were paid in silver cer tificates. Business knew that nieut a exlcanlflcatlon ot our financial system. We were plunging right Into the silver standard. Honest business and honest money need ed a man. Graver Cleveland was the man. ' The country awakened to the danger. The Democratic Party of Cleveland a own state was the personal property of Tammany Hull and David B. Hill, who were viciously anti-Cleveland. In 1890 the Democrats gained the most signal victory any party has ever gained In a national election when tha Fifty-secohd Congress was chesen. greater than the subse quent Republican, victory of 1920. In fact, for In 1890 the Republi cans carried but three States east of the Mississippi River, Maine, Vermont and Pennsylvania, ' and Pennsylvania was almighty close. Ths entire Republican membership of the. House of Representatives was only eighty-eight. Everybody said It was a tremendous Demo cratic victory. In fact It was a tiemendous Grover Cleveland vic tory. And then his enemies proceeded to kill Clevelandism some more. Roger K. Mills was the Cleveland candidate for Speaker, and Chas. K. Crisp the anti-Cleveland candi date. Tammany was never so ac tive and practical politics never so brilliant. Suffice it to say now that MJlls absolutely refused to promise any vonltlim on any com mittee. Every place on every com mittee was promised by Crisp. That made him speaker, and that alone made him Speaker. The of fice was bought, not with money, but with the food that vanity feeds on. 1 need but cite Springer, or Illinols,i who was made Chairman of Ways and Means. There are scores of others. Then again the vaunt went forth "Clevelandism is dead." A snap convention was held In N'ew York and. the delegation to the national convention was instructed fur Dave Hill and the news was sent out that Clevelandism was again kill ed. The convention assembled in Chicago. There was but one bal lot. Graver Cleveland on that bal lot gbt more than . two-thlr J.i of the total vote of the convention. He was elected President, carry ing the solid South, Connecticut, California, Illinois, Indian, New Jersey, New York and Wisconsin. . t Is a superstition to say that Cleveland's second administration was a failure.! Nothing of the sort. It was the most brilliant political triumph of the entire his tory. A financial panic swept over the country, but 90 per cent, of tha hardship it entailed was due to tha fact that the Republican Party had put the country on the silver basis. We owed billions abroad. Aa soon aa Harrison sign ed the Sherman silver law our securities came home to be sold for what they would fetch In gold That drained the country of gold The Issue changed from the tarllT to coinage. Cleveland determined to sustain the gold standard. Both parties In Congress snarled at him and barked nl him. He never wavered one particle. He grimly said: "Carlisle knows all 1 ought to know 1 can bear all we have to bear." And so he did. He forced the repeal of the Sherman silver law. He sold bonds for gold and thus continued gold payments. He crammed the gold slandmrd down the throats of both parties in Con gress. He maintained the public faith and established tha public credit on the firm foundation It has ever since rested on. ' Orover Cleveland's second term was the most triumphant admin istration of our history Judged by result. Suppose a little man had been In power? Our financial sys tem would have been completely Mexlcanlsed. The folly of the Democratc Party gave power to the Republi can Party from 1897 till 1918. Im mediately after the enactment of the William U Wilson tariff, fol lowing the reuenl of, the Sherman silver law, the country started to work. Go back to the newspaper flies Immediately after the rss-, sage of the Democratlo tariff and you will read copious raporta ot business revival. Fa-orlefl return ed everywhere and the boo mo i would have come then had not , Ishatn Ol Harris of Tennessee and George W. i'ithlan, of llllonis, 1 called tha Democratic Party to sit in council on the sliver' qaeatlOn i at Memphis. i Right then business shut up shop and went to ,bed with the resolve, "Very well, when you politicians settle the colnasje question, 111 wake up and go to work." That Intensified the panic and we had the delirious campaign of 18116. William McKlnley became Presi dent. In 1888 he writ this in the Republican platform of that year: "We denounce Grover Cleveland for his hostility to silver." But In .lJlX-inhpn habecajn-PfjealdfljiU.! Clevelandism was powerful enough to force the gold standard down his reluctant throat and down the reluctant throat of his party. And In 1922 Wood row Wilson Ism Is no more dead than Grover Clevelandism wss in 1892 not a bit.
