Should the ensuing campaign ?i,? iz? ! ux nic xxepuunviui j-Jcii i\ lxi inc.1 State end unfnjStfullv, who will1 be the first to recall that, the j opener was held on Friday, the 1 13th? o The ruler of Ethiopia had pre- ] cedence for believing America , might protect interests of her : citizens, to whom he ceded cer- j tain oil rights, as Italian invas- > ion appeared certain.

So it's a case';! of being all messed up and no way to go. THE COUNTRY PAPER Will Rogers, famed cowboyhumorist-actor. had a posy for i every occasion and this is how i he summed up the "home town newspaper": "Take away ray ham, take , away my eggs, even chili," said ! Will, "but leave me my news- , paper. Even it it has such pure- < ly local news as 'Jim Jones came home unexpectedly last night, ' and bloodshed ensued' or "Jesse ! Busyhead. our local M. D.. is having one of the best years of his career, practically speaking?but < they just won't pa3r him when 1 they get well,' 'the county seat < was packed yesterday with most! prominent people from out of ' town, attempting to renew their j notes' and "election ain't, far off , and everybody is up for office a that can sign an application 1 blank.' "Now ail that don't seem such e news to you. But it is news to ? you, especially when you know x the peopie and they are your ; own folks. So no matter how t punk you may think your local newspaper is getting, why just ? take it away from you and see 1 how you feel. The old newspaper, I think, is just about our biggest blessing. "So let's all read and be mer- , ry, for tomorrow the paper may ; not have enough ads to come , cut." i < I t* t T m T-?

' By BRUCE BARTON THE INFLUENCE OF THE BOOK The longest telegraphic message that, ever had gone over the wires up to that time was sent from New York to Chicago, May 20. 1881. Its one hundred and eighty thousand words were addressed to The Chicago Times. The Tribune had a message almost as long. The following morning both papers pr*nted the four Gospels complete, with the book of Acts, while The Times, had Romans also. The next day they printed the rest of the New Testament from copies sent by mail, proclaiming that they had performed the greatest journalistic achievement of all time. They were right. The typesetting machine was not r:. ,-et in u3c. The Tribune employed linety-two compositors and five cor ectors. and completed the work of making, tlinscribing, correcting and setting up the text in twelve hours On tile same d3y this Revised Version of the New Testament was put in sale simultaneously in New York iiid London. Ir. New York thirty-three thousand copies were sold locally ar.d >r in t A'Pnfv-fonr hours. Two million copies were sold in Oxford and Cambridge before the edition was off the press. In the United States, from May twentieth until the end of the year 1881. thirty huge edition, mounting into millions of copies, were sold. Nothing comparable has ever occurred in publishing history. The New Testament lias four short biographies of Jesus, each contain:ng some material which is not in any of the others. It has often been asked. "Since we have four, why not more?" Several of the apostles are supposed to have journeyed far anal :o have made converts in distant places. There is nothing inherently improbable in the thought that one or more of them might have written "or his own converts in a distant egion a little sketch of Jesus as he remembered Him, and that this ketch, however inferior as a whole :o any one of our four gospels, might :onta;n a few authentic incidents, one ;r two parables, or a report of some iiscourse with Jesus hitherto unknown. It has been conjectured that such books were in actual existence. Such conjectures are probably without foundation. But suppose that *urh a book a gospel by Thomas or .-vnurew, were 10 do iouhu m a ur comer of Asia or Africa, and that some scholar of a reputation as well rStabJished as that of Tiscliendorf, the liseoverer of the Sinaitic manuscript, were to see it and pronounce it genuine. Suppose the authorities 01 the library or convent where it was found should say that scholars were free to warnine and photograph and transate it. but that it must not be rclioved. What would happen ? Next Week. Vriticlsms of Voltaire and Paine. The Family Doctor By DR. JOHN JOSEPH GAJNES m .M.VN EMOTIONS It seems to me that the family ioctor encounters almost all of the bases of emotions of which the hur.arv mind is capable. The doctor attends the victim of a Wind and unreasoning wrath. He Aptnesses the human mind in ternbests of delirium; In short, the humble family doctor is put up against most tcrrifc tasks in his dealings with perverted, upset human mentalities. It would take a volume or more to record the experiences of each family doctor with "brain-storms' alone. The nobler emotions? First of ali. sublime love, dignified by scriptural approval. This with human love fulfills all requirements of earth or heaven. TM. . rn..,:!.. _i ? .* - inc iaiiii.iv niiriyr sw-5 uie mouier perish for her offspring. He sees her surrender her very life for those near ?st to her What can be more sa:red or approved of God than this ? The brute is incapable of love. The experienced family doctor can single >u t for you every human beast \vithn his great circle of patrons. He also incounters tlie numbskull without ove of country, kinsmen, home, or ielf. It is no. difficult, it seems to no, to assess human souls as we :ome in contact with them. My field widens ir. perspective. Love his master-emotion sets apart for he highest among men and women, t may seem tedious repetition to epeat here, but, dear reader, lc.ve tnd nothing less can cure a sick and nvaha world. TV? \'.'e wish to end war? I believe very sane person does. Love alone an do it. Remember that guns, boraling planes and deep-3et explosives vill never end war. They co3t bilions of treasure, and shed oceans of ilood. Human love costs nothing and will nd all wars, as asserted by the Man if Gallilee.

BASS SEASON EXTENDED As in the past three years, the season on small mouth bass in the Western Carolina counties his been extended until October 1st, 1935, instead of closing on September 1st, as listed in the rules and regulations of th( game division, Department of Con servation and Development. This extension is for the current year onlj stated County Game Warden Edward Mast, Monday. Warden Mast also announces thai under amendment to Federal regulations, open season on doves begin: September 21st and ends January 5th WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVER Story of the Constitution! ; THE SUPREME COURT AND ITS POWER The need for a Federal Judiciary :\vas apparent to n'.l the delegates to ' the Convention of 1787. The earlier j attempts at an effective Federation had been handicapped by the lack of any court having jurisdiction outside ! its own State. The scheme of "checks and balances" which the frarr.ers of the Constitution set up called for a 'Judicial branch independent of an I ! coequal with the Legislative and Ex! ecutive. i ? 1 -x x.??;AAt. A# o.. JL I1C numocr \JI ououvvo vr* ujau .oupreme Court is not fixed by the Constitution. Originally there were sevien. The number was increased to nine in the admiinstration of President U. 'S. G'-snt The Constitution does, howlever, provide that all Federal judges shall be appointed by the President. |and shall hold office "during good ; behavior." The number of inferior Federal courts is left to Congress to i decide. i The power of the Federal judiciary, in the language of the Constitution, extends "to all cases, in law and equity. arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties." as well as to cases arising from disputes between States, or citizens of different States, and those, affecting foreign interests, j The great power of the Supreme I jCc-ttrf i''rives from its duty of inter-1 jpreting the Constitution. That it i ! might exercise that power to declare !an act of Congress unconstitutional was for '"seer., and accepted as a matter of course, by the franters of the Constitution. The Federal Judiciary system was intended as a check upon J the Legislative and Executive branch-; es of the Government, to see that I neuh r of them exceeded the pow- i - is specifically granted to them oy 1 the people in the Constitution. It has been iaisrelv through this! [power of interpretation by the Su-j I pronto Court that the power of the j i Federal Government has grown front i i its? early beginnings, instead of conistant atttendment. to meet the ineviI table social and economic changes j brought about by the passage of time. I the Constitution has been kept in] j mid-channel of the current of events through successive interpretations of 1 its intent by the Supreme Court, i In tlte e? ' ise of its duty to test] j nit laws by the standard of the Con-, jstilution, the Supremo Court, in its I 1 Pi years of existence, has passed up- ] Ion 21,Old public laws enacted by the (Congress In only 59 cases have laws been declared unconstitutional, and 27 of those decisions were unanimous. The tendency of the- Supreme Court throughout its existence has been to keep the Constitution, through its interpretations, abreast of file times. The Supreme Court never acts on i its own initiative. It pMlCitf* on cases brought before it by liti-; gents, generally on appeal from the lower courts. And when it decides that a law is unconstitutional its de-1 cision is, in effect, a declaration that Congress has tried to do something] [that runs contrary to the will of the] I people, as expressed in the decuIment under which Congress, the President and the Court itself derive their powers. The Supreme Court itself has no power to enforce its decisions. They are, in effect, self-enforcing, for they are recognized by every court in the land. Federal or State, and by Congress and the Executive, as the final word on the question at issue. When the Supreme Court declares a law unconstitutional, that law ceases to j exist. How accurately the Supreme Court reflects the changing public sentiment of changing times is indicated by the fact that only once has an amo'.hirnpnt rn *v?<w I . v.?? wiv v/wiuitiLuuuii rcsuited directly froir. an adverse opinion by the Court. That is the income tax amendment. Next Week: The Rights of the States. Doughton Credited With Social Security Measure GROVER, N. C.?Clyde R. Hoey, I candidate for Governor, applauded | the passage of the Social Security Act as "the outstanding single ac| complishnvent of the recently adj journed session of Congress" in an address Friday at the Borders reunion at Antioch Church near here.
