Some of The Citizen's Ambitions
For AaheviUe and Western -North
Carolina:
n
"1
J.' A hard-surfaced highway, fram Ahe
ville to the county-aeat of every county ad
Joining Buncombe.
2. Hard-surtaced higinvays connecting tha
capitals of all mountain counties.
3. Mors tourist hotels tn this whole moun
tain region.
4. Establishment of additional Summer
Camp Schools.
6. Increased use of the, Joreste for rec
reation and sport. - i
8. A central park with a system of amnller
parks.
. .. ,7. A college in Ashevilla built upon
foundations broad enough to support a great
university.
-I. A greater Summer School, witn cur.
riculum arranged to giva vocational training
In arts and industries.

Is even more important as a reminder that a.
still wider and more interesting use ran be
made of tourist automobiles In Western North
Carolina. It is only a Question of time whtfn
?ight-seelng cars and bus', carrying both email
and la-ge numbers of people, will book pas
sengers (or over-nisht trips and even-day jour
neys through tiie wonders of this mountain
section. Much trips are heavily patrontzed In
the European mountain countries. Tourists
buy at the starting point tickets that cover
their transportation over regular sightseeing
routes and pay for their hotel accommodations
en route. Everything Is mapped out for them
in advanra They are relieved of the trouble
of determining their stopping places and select
lng inns or hotels. Trey have nothing to do
but enjoy the beautiful sights and hear the
interesting legends attached to the points they
pass.
Such a service Is certain to be given In
Western North Carolina. . The highways neces
sary for comfortable automobile travel are here
now. The grandeur and loveliness of the coun
try have such variety that no trip could be
tiresome or monotonous. We are unusually
rich In tradition, legend and history. A charm
ing story can be told of every cove and every
mountain. We have In the mountain counties
a number of hotels and boarding houses ample
to take care of eight-seeing' parties for meals
and for lodging for the night. The stage is all
set. Soon, this year or the next, enterprise will
! seize the opportunity. Sight-seeing tours will
open to the world the beauty and folklore of
Western North Carolina.

the laws, Mr. Daugherty believes he is batter

Too Valuable To Throw Away
h , The House Committee on Elections, Impressed
lnh,
the with the necessity of limiting opportunities to
spend money In primaries, introduces a bill of
lnt
the
-umij
hl draatio regulations to that end. Candidates for
e i the Senate would be allowed to expend 110,000,
r for the House $5,000 ; no candidate would be

JJJ port and the namts of thoro enn'ribullng $100

' This is-good so far as it gocp. and Congress

berry case, the court opinion In that contro-

versy affording the States another chance to

be enacted and the State legislatures should

The experiment with the primary has many
" . critics, but in spite of the serious abuses which

i not yet appear that it should be discarded for

, The Great American Sport
Mr. Sinclair Lewis, the novelist, is an In
considerate fellowi "Main Street," he says,
"reaches round the world. You will find It In
Bearsted, England, aj surely as In Gopher
Prairie, but, thank God! the Main Street of
Europa doesn't try to proselytize and reform.
The curse of America's Main Street is that we
are always anxious to rearrange somebody else's
backyard."
A curse, does he say? J.;y no means is it a
curse, fair sir. It la a Joy. It is a vocation.
It Is the great American sport. We are the
grandchildren of those who burned the Salem
witches, and we are not' at all ashamed of our
Inheritance. We still pile the fagots, strlko
the match and consign the eleoted victims to
the flames. We have reduced meddling to a
fine art, Interference to a sclenca. We reserve
always the right to pay how the neighbors
shall live their lives. We have all the "Inside
stuff" that goes with the game of sniffing and
peering. "Hearninge somebody else's buck
yard?" A meaner, statement of the r;!se! We
will, when we choose, rearrange anybody's
backyard, frontyard. bedroom, parlor and bath.
There are no llmii.itinns on our game.
Put why? Why are we Amerivms always
so bent on Improving sumebody else, on achiev
ing somebody Hro's salvation? It is bemuse
eciiinc the moat out of one's own eye Is n
lonesome and depressing business, conducive to
J the lessoning of one's seif-sat'.sfaction. By
rnstninK our attention on the other fellow's
faults, sins and weakr.eiji-si. w c forget our own.
t which, you are hound to admit, b a pleasing
and diverting pastime. It Js so easy to feel
Jvlrtuoun while shuddering at another's villlany!
! It Is so convenient to ilrug our consciousness
higher costs for fertilizer, higher prlcea for
fond, grearter hardships on all the workers of
this country who are now being compelled to
accept reductions in wages, a reversal' of the
process which Is gradually bringing the coun
try back to a more reasonable balance between
Income and necessary expenditures.
Discussing this tariff Issue, The Brooklyn
Eagle says: "Labor can be stablized and
normalized when foods are cheaper; not be
fore." That is sufficient comment on the pro
fessions of devotion to normalcy made by the
protectionists now controlling Congress. If more
evidence Is desired, consider Tha New York
Herald'i charge that the "haxdbolled tariff
makers" are going to foroa an unnecessary bill
of IISO.000,000 a year on American consumer
of sugar. Indeed, The Herald asserts that if
the extremists in the. Senate have their way,,
another $40,000,000 will be added to this tax
for tha benefit of tha beet iugar Industry.
Little wonder that President Harding grlavej
over the blunders of Messrs. Fordney and Mo-
Cumber, The President has an understandable
aversion to being led to slaughter in H24 by
men who have learnwd and fonfottea nothing
about Chinese tariff laws.

Washington reporta that the Republlcar

The Upward Swing
In the faco of the uncertainties due to tariff,
bonus, and ship subsidy proposals, American
business continues to demonstrate its inherent
strength An expanding volume of freight
trafflo In May, despite the coal strike. Is proved
by the figures on car-loading for the week
ending May 27; the movement of merchandise
waa 16 per cent, greater than for the same
period last year. In April the railroads earned
somewhat than 4 per cent. Statistics reveal
that freight tonnage had begun to increase be
fore rate reductions were announced and, since
shippers now have encouragement of lower
tariffs, the country'a domestic commerce bids
fair to prosper in the latter half of this year.
During May the value of building contracts
let in the Northeast broke all American record3
and waa lx times greater than the monthly
average In 1914.
Farmers are now counting upon a good
sized wheat crop at fair prices; cotton iui
jumped back to 22 cents. Export demand in
several lines shows advancement, although Eu
rope's buying power will not return to normal
until the reparations question is out of the way
and the United States learns the value of a
reasonable tariff law,
A do-nothing Congress will undoubtedly
retard all business, just as It has for the past
three years; but there Is a strength in Ameri
can Industry and trade that cannot be bound
by political shackles.

It Is hard to make the average politician
believe that the voice of the people U his
master's voice.

THE SECOND PRIMART.
Editor of The Citizen:
j I have not been favorably dis
posed toward a second primary at
this time and under present cir
cumstances, though on general
principles I favor second primaries
when conditions warrant. However
a second primary has been called
and we as citizens are confronted
with the unusual spectacle of the
foremost man conceding the elec
tion to the next highest man In
the senatorial contest. It occurs to
me, although not a lawyer, that the
election board would have no right
to hand this thing over to Mr.
Ebbs without a second primary.
He has not been chosen by a ma
jority vote of the Democrats and
surely someone has the right to
challenge his claim to it. Therefore
I feel that Mrs. Piatt who stands
next in the race has that right and
I as a citizen and a Democrat want
to insist that she demand of the
election board whatever rights
under the law she may have. I
do not. attempt to pass upon the
legal phase of the question but
taking a common sense view of
the matter I am not satisfied to see
it rest as it now stands.
I am very sorry that Mr. Rey
nolds does not feel justified In con
tinuing the fight, yet he may be
right in taking the position that
the election officials would use
their positions for the purpose of
defeating him. But as for me I am
not willing to let such rotteness
continue if It exists as has been
claimed, i nave seen enough to
manner bid the Eastern Star mem
bers make themselves at home In
Ashevllle. Rev. Mr. Clark filled
the place of Mayor Roberts, who

financial conditions in the light
of their obligations to the United
States.
It was said today at the treas
ury that two nations have pre
sented briefs of their fiscal condi
tions In connection with the debts
to this country. The names were
withheld. Their statements were
being analyzed by the commission,
It was explained and would be
very helpful when the negotia
tions for the funding of the obli
gations was begun.
Statement from the other debt
or nations are expected by the
commission. So .far, it waa stated,
nothing official on the debt ques
tion has been heard from Great
Britain since the formation of the
commission, Although the belief
was expressed at the treasury that
a special mlesion to discuss the
nation's indebtedness might be ex
pected at any' time.
Meanwhile It was indicated at
the treasury, funding negotiations
will be begun with France, whose
government has announced the

Call Tpon Mayor Roberta to Int.
terest Young Men In Morement
For Army Training.
With a little more than half ot
North Carolina's quota for the Cit
lzens Military Training camps hav
lng been filled, official of tha
fourth corps area have sent a
communication to mayors of va
rlous municipalities of the state
asking that they call together
number of ex-service men indue
liw officers and enlisted men an
tell them North Carolina will not?
have its quota this summer unless
something Is done Immediately.
A communication to this effect
was received by Mayor Gallatin
Roberts yesterday, who will co
operate with the officials to th
fullest extent. Recruiting closes
June 15 or 20 and it is urged that
the young men and boys become
interested In the movement.
. North Carolina" vacancies are
eagerly sought by a large over
subscription in Florida, Georgia
and South Carolina. Following in
part is the communication receiv
ed by the mayor;
"During the past week North
Carolina has been forced near the
bottoni of the list among the eight
states of the fourth corps area,
because only a little more than
half her quota of young men havo
signed up for the training camp
which will be held at Camp Mc
Clellan this summer, July 27 to
August 26.
"Florida, Georgia and Souts
Carolina have gone over the
in their quota while . . Mississlisp
has about completed her number.
The situation in North Carolina i
quite serious since there is only
about a week left to fill her quota.
"The camp will not b' an old
fashioned army camp and there
will be plenty of time for all kinds
of sports including baseball, ten
nis and swimming tn addition to
army instruction. Any boy of 17
years old and over is eligible and
boys taking this training over a
period of three summers may be
qualified as commission?! officers
in the reserves although they will
not be asked to join the national
guards, organized reserves or any
other branch of the service unless
they so desire.
"Because North Carolina was so
far behind in recruiting on June 1,
IB days of additional time haV
been given to make up her quota'
and if this is not done, Florida,

The Unbreakable Doll
My dmldv he boucht an unbreakable
doll
Who never gi ts hurt If she happens to
fall;
Phe never has cried since I had her,
at all.
She dropped on the sidewalk; I thought
she would crack;
But she didn't, a bit. Goodness me,
. what, a whack!
And she didn't, turn red and she didn't
turn black.
- i
If I was the one who had had such a
blow
I'd have cried and have cried, inl
just hollered. I know
My dolly, you seo, ,is unbreakable,
though!,
I always am getting such terrible
thumps;
I fall off of of sofas, 1 fall over
stumps;
My body's junt covered with bruises
and bumps.
I wish that a child like a dolly could
be
And never get hurt. I wifh Daddy-
that he
Could buy me fomfwhere 3ti unhreak-
electlons and efficient government.
