THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1933 THE WORLD SOON FORGETS A number of people in this community have expressed an opinion during the past few days that the publicity given this vicinity by news, papers throughout the country last week on the Price murder would just about ruin this sec tion. Condemnation was made especially about the papers outside Western North Carolina be cause no specific mention was made that the alleged murderers were not natives of this county. We readily admit that the publicity re ceived was not any help to Waynesville, neither do we feel that it was detrimental to the extent that some would have us believe. Other com munities have had murders, kidnappings, lyn ching, riots, robberies together with earth quakes storms, tidal waves, tornadoes and other calamities, but not one of them has folded her arms and given up. Practically every paper that came into this office last week carried the story and most of them had an editorial comment on the mur. der of Mr. Price, but not one of them has blamed the people of this community for the crime. The biggest news story of recent years was the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby, yet there are only a few people who can name the town in which the crime was committed, although hundreds of columns were written about the crime and carried the name of the town in each one. We seriously doubt if there are a dozen people who can name the Illinois town which had a riot several years ago where many were killed. Very few remember what town in North Carolina in 1929 had a mill strike and a number of men killed. A certain hospital in an Ohio city burned several years ago resulting in the death of many patients, yet the name of that city and hospital has been forgotten by almost everybody. The public reads these stories and devours every word that is Written, but it soon for get all the details. The same will be the case in the Price Murder. CRIME IN CANADA In Canada there's little crime, for justice is severe; the evil doer serves his time for many a weary year. The prisons there are not re nowned as havens of repose; no gilded luxur. ies are found, no treats the convict knows. The wicked man goes forth to kill, some victim's skull to crush ; and then they run him through the mill of justice with a rush. There are no wearisome delays the sentence follows soon ; and then the scaffold's beams they raise, and hang that poor gossoon. The bandit piles his sinful trade, by hope of gain inspired ; his pun ishment is hot delayed law's promptness makes him tried. They flog him roundly for a time, with cruel leather thong; and he concludes a life of crime has features wildly Wrong. And having flogged him they proceed to lock him in a cell, where he may sit and sweat and bleed, and moralize and yell. The same indecent speed is shown in all the courts of law ; when once a sinner's guilt is shown, he feels the halter draw. And criminals across the line, where Uncle Sam is shamed, feel shivers run along the spine when Canada is named. Our criminals, those dead game sports, think Uncle Sam a friend ; here they can monkey with the courts for years and years on end, At home they laugh, their faces beam, their conduct's lewd and raw; and when they have an evil dream it's of Dominion law. Raleigh News and Observer. Two men were killed Sunday within ten miles of each other by trains in South Carolina. One was sitting on the tracks and the other drove his car into a fast train. The Result of carelessness is almost always sure death. The longest minute one ever lives is while fee!irg for a towel with eyes full of soap. MORE FAVORABLE PUBLICITY The 200,000 copies of the October issue of Esso Tours and Detours, a publication sponsor ed by Standard Oil Company and distributed throughout the Middle Atlantic States, carries an article under the heading, "See The Smok ies Make Waynesville Your Headquarters." The article reads as follows: "The mountains of North Carolina must have received more than their share of beauty when earth, sky and water were being handed out. Here are majestic peaks green clad close at hand, hazy blue in the distance. And here tumbling streams, fertile valleys, magnificent sunsets conspire to give you superb views. "Squatting among these western moun tains is Waynesville, named for Mad Anthony Wayne of Revolutionary fame. "As you approach the town from the east on U. S. 19, you pass the pulp mill of the Cham pion Fibre Company at Canton, said to be the largest plant of its kind in the world. At any rate, it's plenty big enough, and worth stopping to see. "On this road, too, is the State Fish Hat chery. Here are speckled trout from two to fifteen inches long. Maybe it will be your luck to have one of the fifteen-inch beauties dangle at the end of your line after he has been turned loose in some near-by mountain stream. 'Ten miles west of Waynesville is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the bigger part of which is being kept in a wild state. Dur ing your stay in Wiis section you might very well make your headquarters in Waynesville, for there are pleasant drives to take in all di rections. The wonder of it is that each new one seems more beautiful than the last. But no matter how many other byways you explore, don't call a hault until you've been over route 281 from Waynesville to Brevard." In behalf of the community, we extend our thanks to Mr. A. B. Christen, editor of the pub. lication, for publishing the article on the front page of his publication. RATHER MISLEADING Perhaps too much has been said already about the Price murder, but there is one thim; that should be made perfectly clear to everyone, and that is that the alleged murderers arc not Haywood County folks. The men charged with the crime have only been living in this county for the past eight months. They are originally from Georgia and Oklahoma. They moved to Haywood from Jackson county. The Charlotte Observer, in an editorial last week, made a rather misleading statement when it referred to the slayers of Mr. Price i North Carolina citizens. The Observer's edi torial read as follows: "No fouler crime has stained the escultch. eon of this commonwealth than that in Hay wood county, North Carolina, when a mountain eer shot and killed a distinguished New Yorker whose only sin, so far as the evidence of the case has so far turned up, was that he was wealthy, had bought up large areas of mountain lands and converted them into preserves, had established libraries and given away books dis tributed medicine among the sick and dispens ed charity to the needy of that community. "A hideous offense like this murder might attract little attention in blood-crazed Russia with its seething prejudices and boiling paswions of the unsuccessful toward the achieving, but it is hardly conceivable that so gruesome a murder as this could be conceived in the brain of a citi zen of North Carolina. "The whole State hangs its head in shame and humiliation and unites in the hope that justice will not be timid when it aims its shaft at these assassins." The other day we were with a friend when a certain man passed by. This friend of ours said, "There is a man I always like to meet. He is always smiling and looks happy, and just to see him makes me feel better." . A smile is an asset to anybody. ODD THINGS AND NEW By Lame Bode What is a good name for these people who talk like philosophers and live like fools? Now that China has, for the first time in history, adopted the use of periods, commas, and other punctuation marks in its official docu ments, some of us will have dificulty in finding an excuse; for continuing to leave them out of our conversation. Ex. Unsanitary conditions didn't kill the old timers ; but maybe they proved fatal to the germs. The Columbia State. Possibly a better phrase for safe driving .would be "courteous driving." Discourtesy on the highways is always the friend-of accidents. And here's a thought that should stick. If you'll make up your mind to drive the way you think the other fellow should drive, the acci dent rate will be due for a severe beating in the future. Charlotte Observer.

BARRETT A great deal of interest is manifest ed these days in the effort of the gov ' eminent to call In all the outstanding sold. Some per sons who are defy ing the government by still hoarding their gold, claim they cannot bet coerced to give up the previous metal. I'erhapa the' right, of the government to demand the re-; turn of gold mayj have to be tested . in the courts. ' A gold reserve is essential to the monetary system of our country, especially so long as we are on the gold standard, but other wise its stability depends upon its value in the open markets of the world. Pure gold, however, is of value only as a security. From a practical point of view it Is of little value because It is too soft. The gold twed in the Jewelry trade must be mixed with some alloy, usiKilly silver, before it can be worked up Into orna ment. A watch case made of pure fcold won Id soon be forced out of cltftpe by ffwquent pressure in daftf A pen made of pure gold would not torre as a satisfactory instrument r writing becawie it would be too MA. The gold used for dooorative jvwrpoaes Is .usually 14 carat, otlierwise t wxHild not stand up under the frie tkwi of daily use. Cfoid, therefore, t be of any prac ttcil value must be niixod with some nUT. Such alloy is not necessary if we l-.icc the gold hp in a deposit box and regard it only as a reserve security; iiit, if w want to put it to some prac tical use, it must be mixed with some other metal in order to harden it. ' CHir lives are very much like the oh. A sheltered life which finds it ; necessary to strive, for a livelihood nd tliercfore withdraws from an ac tive part in the great human strug gle, may nood little alloy. Hut the life that mtist struggle and tight "the ood fight" finds an alloy absolutely 'necessary to success. Otir best ideals and ambitions are tempered by the trials, disappointments and heart pains v"hieh enter Into every experience. 1'hey make us strong and develop character. Tlie "alloy" in life' makes us fit to light, ami enables us to stand strong in our convictions and pur . poses. No life can be happy if lived apart from the human struggle. Iso kitioo leads to misery and despair "Gold and Iron---he. that Knows how to apffty thetii both, may attain life. lilirtwC Wmtifin." 1 ma mum PROOF OF CHARACTER Judge: ' Do you know anybody who can vouch for your eood character? Accused : "Yes. the chief of police." The chief of police is called. ' Judge: "But he says he doe, not know you." Accused: "What more do you want? I have lived in his police area for 20 years and he does not know me!" To the Editor of The Mountaineer: Much has been said and written recently about officers not enforcing the law and the increase of lawless ness and crime. Lust Friday afternoon the citizens of Waynesville and adjoining towns had a demonstration of officers either unwilling or unable U enforce the law. A few toughs and rowdies defied the entire police force and county officers who were present. No arrests were made nor was the disturbance stop ped; but a football game was delayed and those who had gone out to enjoy the game were mortified and com pelled to see a free-for-all fight and a near riot- The school authorities, the coach and the team endeavor to have clean athletics and good sportsmanship to entertain-their friends and the public. No team when demoralized by fighting on the sidelines and crowds rushing across the field to see it can play good ball, nor can the spectators enjoy the game. Our mother., wives, and daughters are at the mercy oi the mob and will not attend. Unless the authorities can give us police protection and make the field safe and orderly, games will have to be called or athletics sus pended. There is " a law against drinking, gambling and fighting and we ought to have officers who can enforce the 'law and are not affraid to arrest the violators- ThP reputation of the school and the town is at stake i tnhis matter.

PROFESSIONAL DISTRESS NERVE STRAIN-MENTAL ANGUISH Doctors are often the despair of their families aid ff because of their failure to meet their social obliga ir -modern Doctor takes the case of the patient quite as muih as the old family physician. The Physician who tries to divert his mind, or fulhH obligations, with a seriously ill patient in his thought, is a absent-minded theatre companion or bridge partner. The Physician expecting a momentary summons, i- "',! from mental strain or wakeful nights. When he '"ids ' beyond human or scientific help, only the immediate fam,1-v , more than the Doctor. Of course it is up to the D'h'"' show distress, and to keep nerve strain under lash. Modern Physicians take their work seriously, and ant as sincerely to make and keep yoo well as the old- as general practitioner.
