A New Home for the Y. M'. C. A. ' . Deserved recognition of the value of the Y. M. C X is found In the decision of 'the business nioni , who direct the "Y" policies, to equip the Bur-' roughs property aa a Y. M. C.A. plant that In some respecta will hate no equal sp the country. i The rour-acre tract will give to the boys and men of the city a central location that combines outdoor facilities with the gymnasium and educa . tlonal accommodations that are expected aa a matter of course. Not in the heart of big cities ia it possible to have tennis oourts and volley ball outdoors because there' are no grounds available, . no matter bow splendid are the buildings them- : selves. . ' That the present "Y" building la badly congested la pot a matter of argument Before the war plans war made to care properly for the steadily grow ing demand for the social, physical and religious training that the Young Men's Christian assocla- ' tion affords. The program now undertaken will When completed according to the ideals of the di rectors of the institution be a community center of service In which all Asheville people, without ; regard to religious beliefs, will take pride. If the Y. M. C. A. has deserved financial support In the past, and such support has been gladly given by men who look for results when investing their money In community enterprises, It doubly is en titled to aid In this undertaking. Success will cost effort and money. But anything worth having doss not? . ' j Develop AH Resources 4 The Jackson County Journal, while conceding I that a motor highway to Mnffnt Mitchell "would be a considerable asset' to the state," believes It much more important for Western North Caro lina to get together for an "Inter-mountaln sys tem of roads." The, Journal says that p la more necessary "to construct highways that will bring all the people of our country into touch with the markets and with each other than it is to build roads at the public expense to the top of some' mountain In order that the lowlanders may have an opportunity to feast upon the glories of the sunrise without the trouble of climbing the moun tain." But we can do both. Asheville has given more publicity to the Asheville-Murphy-Atlanta high way than to the suggestion that, with the Forest service leading the way, the state and Buncombe county should build a road to Mitchell which will be another attraction for this region.. Whatever builds up any county or community will benefit the entire section. Great markets will not bo de veloped in Western Carolina unless all the possi bilities of the section are utilized. If Asheville Is the property owners of this house, which waa dam aged several thousand dollars. Mr. Fltzpatrlck seems to have made up his mind to make the Are department in answering calls of fire to make these unnecessary detours, but we think he ought to change his mind or somebody will suffer enormous property loss. A paid department aa advocated by Mr. N. Buckner will save a few dollars by lowering the insurance rate, it will cost the taxpayers several times the money now paid for this protection by volunteer firemen, and may do several other things, but a paid department nor any other department can put out a fire after It has gained headway to a great extent, an unless Mr. Fltzpatrlck changes his mind about these few items, there will be a great waste or money in keeping even a volunteer department such as we have, handicapped as we now are, by the one-way street and detours. If Mr. Buckner, Instead of always advocating a paid Are department would us a little of his energy In trying to help the department we now have, I believe he would be earning the salary paid him by the members of the Board of Trade. i Since Mr. Fltzpatrlck has taken office he Iras In creased the efficiency of the department by buying another truck, and has also installed several fire alarm boxes, but of what use are these additions with the present handicaps with which we firemen have to contend? , I have been a member of the fir department for the past 11 years and under no administration has the department been handicapped as much as under the present one. and I think that the time has come when these handicaps should be removed to such an extent as is necessary for the safoty of the lives and property of the people of Asheville. Very truly yours, ERNEST W. DAVIS. Asheville, January 17. THE SCISSORS ROUTli ed that he was the tremendous per sonallty he actually was. Napoleon the Great bad very small sense of humor; but he said a good thing when he remarked that Joseph Bona parte looked Upon him as an usurper of the purple which of right belong ed to the elder brother. That Is how Seward viewed Lincoln, for Howard never recovered from the amazement that overwhelmed htm when Lincoln beat him for the republican nomina tion for President in 1880. Seward felt that Lincoln had usurped a place that was his. The generation of which Lincoln was a member was too clone) to the man to discover what a towering fig ure he was, and the same is true in some degree of Woodrow Wilson. Little men are fond of accusing great men of the atrocious crime of Incon sistency, and lately senatorial elo quence has' been exhausted in citation and quotation to show that President Wilson, has been Inconsistent. There Is a reason for this. A man like Wilson sees a thing from many angles, on the otherhand, a man like Reed, of Missouri, or McCormlck, of Illinois or Poindexter of Washington, hopeless prisoners of llmltatlon,can see a thing i from but a single viewpoint, it is a long and doleful road from stupidity to genius.

The Apostle Paul la a conspicuous example. Every Christian sect can get text from preachments of the "In spired Apostle" ito establish and but tress its articles o$ faith. Then there was Edmund Burke, the greatest poli tical philosopher since the matchless statesman, Moses. Some fellow with a little mind writ a book entitled "Burke vs. Burke," which the author designed to confound the admirers of Burke, though In fact he only established the universality of Burke's genius. In our own country was Thomas Jefferson. He was the father of that democratic party that carried every state In 1820, and the present demo cratic party claims To be the direct lineal descendant and heir-at-law of Thomas Jefferson. But in 18(4 the republican party, that year born, claimed Thomas Jefferson for daddy, and held the declaration of indepen dence to be a document much more sacred than the constitution of the United States, which, latter some emi nent republicans of that day denoting ed as a "covenant with death and a league with hell." Mr. Lincoln him self was fond of appealing to Thomas Jefferson as the soundest of American political philosophers.
