JACKSON CO. JOURNAL ? DAK" TOMPKINS, - - Editor Published Weekly By the JACKSON COUNTY JOURNMj CO. Entered as second class matter at Sylva, N. C. Yes, thank yon, and we hope yo jr own will be equally as happy ){ "Manyi ask abut Ashevillc"?But what do they ask? "House the cotton." But poorly, thauk you, at present. Not something just as good;but I lie very best is to be found in . the shops of Sylva this season. The editor takes heart. We rend the following headline 4' Happy Christmas is Assured For Needy." Bujov 1926 and the Yuletide sea son while yon can?The Uencnil Assembly of North Carolina will con-j vene in January. I This morning we once again direct your attention to the superiority of the brand of climate enjoyed west of the Balsams. Mr.s Kate Burr Johnson) charges that the jails ot' North Carolina waste a million dollars a year. That being true, the obvious thing is to abolish the jails. Our understanding of it is that Santa Claus quits coming to sec lit tle girls when they begin rolling their stockings instead of hanging them. 192G has been a pretty good old year at that?Ai. Smith didn't run for president, and the general as sembly of North Carolina didn,'t re peal the law of ?volution. The Franklin Press remarks that if anything could convince it that man is sprung from monkeys, the antie3 of ttw "committee of one hundren" would clinch the argument. Every honest citizen, or visitor would feel safer knowing that the highways of the state were being coa statnly patrolled by policemen with the power of North Carolina behind tlfem. If the Assembly wants to put the accent on the first syllable of its name, let it devote its time to evolu tion and other things that it knows nothig about. It you would like to have a little matter of a few millions to spend for Christmas, hunt up one of Unjcle Sam's Naval Oil Reserves and swipe it. Fall and Dohcny have been ac quitted. The flapper will npt only eeaSe to flap, bnt will cease to be; if the Y. M. C. A. makes .good headway with its nation-wide ?ampaign against her and her "petting parties." Catting down our prohibition ag ents from 41 to 28, our Uncle must think that we are getting better in North Carolina; or they may be get ting worse somewhere else; or he is running short of cash with which to pay off. We are going to head a lobbying society to oppose the thousand and one societies that arc busy lobbying in the halls of the legislatures of all the 48 states and in the congress of the United States. While we are at it, we will attempt to get an amend ment added to the constitution for bidding anv more amendments. THI MOUNTAINS MOVING DOWN The Journal puts itself on record as warning the general assembly that the mountains will move to Raleigli in January, pleading the cause of the Great Smoky Mountain Natioanl Park. The mountain folk are mightily interested in the matter. It is a mat ter of paramount importance to them a?l is the biggest movement for ma tffial progress of the state that has been launched since the good roads movement was started. That Park means life or death to a great many of the Western counties. The state will be face to face with the proposal of spending now a comparatively small sum, which invested in the Park will make the pauper counties rich, and relieve the state of the burden of c&rrying them on the panpev list, or of leaving them to be a burden to North Carolina through the years ?te to eow, . We often wonder from whence oomea the prejudice, in some parts of the South, against the Jew and the Romanist; when we reflect thnt the poetry that inspired the valiant defenders of state's rights, in, the sixties, came from the pen of a Cath olic priest, Father Ryan* and rtjie financial genius who kept the Con federacy in supplies was Judah P Ponjpmin a Jew. After the General Assembly has vot ed the $40,0000, 000 necessary to com plete the highway system and has pro vided for the purchase of the lands for the Great Smoky Mountains Nat ional Park, it has our permission bo put in the othr 54 days of the session in discussing evolution, if it so do j sires. | FOR A STATE CONSTABULARY Thereis much agitation throughuot , the state, by some of the best think iers and most substantial citizens of North Carolnia, for the establishing by the coming general assembly of a state constabulary of 100 men. The duty of the state policc would bo lo patrol the splendid highways of the state and enforce.the traffic and the other laws of North Carolina.?To! uphold the ma.jestv of the state, aiyl show those who are inclined to flout j the law that North Carolina is yet i sovreign state, that the common law still prevails and the solemn) enact ments of her general assembly nre fo be observed, that North Carolina ??> a law loving and law abiding stat? Tho need of such a state police free is apparent. The appalling loss of life, property and limb oi\ the high ' ways of North Carolina is a reproach to the stale, and is largely the re ; suit of oar (A ess, reckless, unlawful driving. The moral effect upon those persons who use the highways for speedways, for mm routes, and w.io have no consideration for the other ]>eople who are using the highways for lawful purposrsl would be of considerable weight. A lawbreaker has more consideration for his own liberty than he hasfor the lives and rights of other people. Selfishness j8 the basis of lawlessness. A man is .) lawbreaker because he is unwilling to play the game of lifo according to the rules. If he is constantly expeet-. ing to meet a member of the state l>olice ?round the next curve, he will drive around the curve more caution* ly. Then the local political complex, we are sorry to remark, often en ters into the prosecution and convirt-j ion, yea, even the arrest of a law breaker. The state polioc would kno.v no local politics. Every man and wo^ man violating the law would look the same to them. Not only that, but hold-ups, and I all kinds of lawlessness along the highways end in the rural districts would he lessened; at least the chanoes for the arrest and conviction of the lawless would be greater. The Carolina Mot?? Club, and va rious strong organizations of ; the state are behind the movement. The chances arc that they will win their poinfc before the general assembly. At any rate, it must be conceded that they should. MAKING CHRISTMAS DINNER EASY FOR THE HOMEMAKER i Continued from page ono J the celery, wrap it well and put it in i a col# place.

If the weather is very cold, set the mousse outdoors, and the weather will do the rest. The fruit cake to., serve with the mousse was of ?^Trsc / ( baked well in advance of the Christ mas rush.
