V ' I A JACKSON CO. JOURNAL ! . i , I DAN TOMPKINS, - v Editor ' - : PoNiahed Weekly By the MOXSON COUNTY JOURNAL 00. JVitered u seoond class matter ?t Sylva, N. C. <> openking of March Lions ! j We confidently await the arrival of the Iamb. , / o At the present time the 0 is about all that can be seen of Highway 106. Dr. Coolidge vetoed the p&serio tion concocted to relieve the finan cial pains of )tho bucolic WeSt.' It's all right?the trout will be (r' rising to the "professor" in ? few days. * 1 If the Pope continues to thunder against prevailing fashions in dress and dance, the women will change his name from Pius to Prude. Has the war zone moved from Shanghi, from Mexico, from Herrin, from Chicago to the highway from the Oowec Qap to the Georgia line? The Georgia Peach crop having been oifoe killed, this season, we may expect spring to arrive after it is killed twice more. Good will diplomacy might ac complish more than good will planes. The Latin American problem is Greek to most of the citizens of this eountry. ? -W-'A _ Its strange how people hate taxes that go into the treasuries of their government; and yet how wedded they are to tariffs, which ar? the same thing, but go into the pockets of private individuals and corpora tions. - ( * What's the use of having a secre tary of state so long as we have Sen; ator Borah to look after our for eign correspondence? Mr. Coolidgo might save a , little by discharging Mr. Kellogg and leaving the office vacant. Well, it did snow in the vallics West of the Balsams, but it won't near as deep as it was to the east of us. We had about half as much aa^Waynesville aud Asheville aud a fifth as much as Raleigh aud Wil sou. Once more the superiority of our winter climate is vindicated. The governor of South Carolina is right in enforcing the Sunday ob servance laws of his state. They < have been on the statute books for a hundred years, and 30 long ?? they are laws they should be enforced. Of coyse religious legislation should uever be enacted; but the governor of South Carolina has fullen upon the only plan whereby the statutes can be wiped from the books. En force them, and the people will de mand and secure their repeal. Three million two hundred aud fif ty thousand dollars in equalizing fund the compromise measure in the gen eral assembly, is better than what we had; but the question will never be settled until it is settled right. The'right, the fair, the true thing to do is to establish a state system of publio education, thereby giving ev ery child in North Carolina from the deepest cove in the mountains to the swamps along the coast, equal educa tional opportunities. THE EAST AND THE WEST It is becoming more and more ap parent that the interests of the indus I ious East and thq bucolic West are in conflict. The battle down the thin barriers of political alignment and more and more the blocs are lining up in the interests of their constitu ents. The conflict of interest is ap - parently destined to become more and more acute as the months come and go. The tariff protected industries are prosperous. The big corporations de clare huge dividends, and the farm ers of the West and planters of the Sjouth suffer the while. There is but one method of attack that is successful in overcoming po litical prejudice, and that is to hit a man in the vulnerable pocket book. The farmers are bit and hit hard. They are suffering, and it does not relieve the situation in their minds, to know that the so-called big bus inesses are prosperous to an unheard of degree. We may expect almost anything to davelope out west, within the next law pxontb#. i RIGHT IS RIGHT Judge Grady resigned from the Ku Klux Klan rather than have any thing to do with the introduction or passage of legislation designed against the Knights of Columbus, and he was right. Such things are not Inatterg for legislative action. Immediately the general assembly enacted legislation against tho Ku Klux Klan which was wrong, for the j i same reason. Aside from that, the! general assembly has probably done the only thing that could bring the J Klan back to activity and make it grow in North Carolina. DUKE DANCES ? With the North Carolina Christian! Advocate leading the attack we can' expect lively times in North Carolina | over the Dances at Duke University, chaperoned by members of the facul ty of the institution. Doubtless thous ands of Methodists throughout the state, and the whole South for that matter, will rally behind the Chris tian Advocate in its condemnation. , To say the least of it, it is certain lv bad taste for such amusements to I * _ be sponsored by members of the fa culty of an educational institution which is the property of conferences of a church, that condemns dancing and the like, in no uncertain terms, as being "worldly" and the rules of which prohibit its members from in dulging in the dance and kindred amusements. We do not believe that so long ns Duke University is their property, the North Carolina Methodists will J look upon sueh practices with approv-1 al.
