GARNER FOR PRESIDENT
Out of the muddle of candidacies for
the Democratic nomination jtar
President there rises to the surface
the name of John N. Gamer of Texas,
speaker of the national House of Rep
resentatives. and one of the rugged
characters now playing an Important
role in public affairs at this critical
time in American history. We like this
man from the great southwest, and the
Democratic party will make no mstake
fit raises him up as its standard
bearer in 1932.
Bpeaker Gamer has a great deal to
commend him. For one thing, there
is the modesty of the man. though that
alone does not make statesmen. He
has shown excellent ability In the
management of the House procedure
during this session of Congress. He at
tends to his own business, and har
thus refused to be stampeded into ex
citement by the mention of his name
in connection with the nomination.
His conduct'would lead to -the supposi
tion that If he Is to be placed at the
head of the column it will be a cause
of the office seeking the man rather
than the man seeking the office.
A few days ago the Daily Dispatch
,wrote Speaker Gamer for an expree
Mon of his attitude on certain Import
ant issues now before the country, but,
he was foxy enough not to commit
himself. “I concur In your view,”
said he. “that this country has prob
lems of too great import to be solved,
to permit the voters to be led acAray
upon non-essentials " Prohibition had
been mentioned In the letter, and.
continuing, Mr. Gamer said:
“I have no intention of malting a
declaration with respect to any ques
tion with vrwhlch Congress does not
have Immediate concern. I am not
particularly Interested as to how my
determination in this respect will af
fect my political future. I am con
fronted with a difficult task, a task
Involving greater responsibilities than
have fallen to the lot of the speaker
since the World War, and my sole am
bition is to discharge my duties in
such manner that I may be helpful
to the American people In relieving *1
the dlMreaaing conditions they are eat-'
perlenclng."
Since that whs written William G.
McAdoo, former secretary of the
treasury under Woodrow Wilson, and
himself twice an unsuccessful candi
date for the Democratic nomination
for president, has come out definitely
in favor of SpeaJotr Owner as the
party’s standard-hearer. And Mr.
V!:Adoo has a sixewble following. Gar
ner has made no commitment as to
prohibition, but the fadt that he has
been endorsed by Senator Sheppard, of
Texas, leader of the dry fight In the!
Senate for many years, and his col-!
league. Senator Connalty, of the same
state, ought to be sufficient to satis
fy those who are uuwUHag that the
eighteenth amendment and the Voir
Mead law shall be Junked. Gamer
la about the dry eat man now under
serious consideration for the nominal
tkm. There has never bean a ques
tion about MM democracy, saver a Sha
dow upon his Integrity, and never a
dot** but tong be to ftrtt, to* and ah,
the time safe, sue and oouearvatlve.
Tha Texan to our way of thinking,
to mighty good presidential timber.
The Democratic party would be wise
If ft refused to dabble in tha New
'York controversy and turn, heart and
wind, to tbto rugged frontiersman for
a virile leadership, and as a progres
sive with jhe brakes on, a man with
'a thorough understanding of the na
tions problems, and with the oourage
to direct the affairs of the country in
the way that win take ue back to pros
perity and better time*. We Mke
■Peaker Garner. He would make a
Break campaign said win a great vic
tory, and then would become another
i'Oki Hickory” In the White House.
Let's put hhn In there with the party
united behind him.
GERMANY HAS A PLAN
Germany is down but she Is not out,
nor are the Gormans fools by any
mean s f am aM the world knows. There
may be selfishness in it. but the pkn
her delegates proposed to the Geneva
disarmament conference would be a
general low level In the possession of
Instruments of war is reached, the
world wW have no effective guaran
tee again* twar.
Get many wants the other nations
voluntarily to lay aside their war
machines In much the same manner
she has been forced to do. France
talks of guarantees against aggres
sion, but there would be no danger of
such thing if all countries were re
duced to the minimum now possess
ed by Germany. U would be fool
hardy for any one of the greaft pow
ers to cut and slash unlews all others
in the same category did likewise.
Every one at Geneva talks In the
most altruistic language imaginable,
but when it comes time for action,
nobody is willing to take the initiative
and put into practice the ideaiian
that is reached from the conference
floor.
That, in the final analysis, is why
the world does not have disarmament.
It explains why we are still threaten
ed with wars and rumors of ware.
And It will be ever thus so long as
ail nations fight to the last ditch to
hold on to what they have.
A TERRIFIC DRAIN
An imposing array of facts have
been assembled by Director J W. Har
relson, of the Stake Department of
Conservation and Development, relat
ing to the annual forest fire loss in
North Carolina The startling state
ment is made that for the last %ervty
two yeans the damage has averaged
more than one million dollars a year,
or, to be exact, 522.022.499. This con
stitutes one of the moat severe drains J
on the economic life of the Sfta/te.
Mr. Harrelson has found that this I
loss in the space of twenty-two years I
surpasses the State's total investment I
in buildings and improvements at all I
of the State-owned institutions of I
higher learning. The total would be f
aJmodt sufficient to operate all pub
lic schools in North Carolina for a
whole year.
Four million acres of land in the
State are rendered idle or unproduc
tive by fires as a primary cause. Ex
pert foresters estimate that the aver
age larnd should annually
timber valued at about two dollars per
acre, and at that rate landowners are
losing revenue approximating eighf
million dollars a year. That does not
allow for the arrest of the State's de
velopment because of the reduction
in the amount of timber as a raw ma
terial for manufacture.
Our forerts constitute a vital part
of the capital stock of the State. They
are reservoirs of wealth as Colonel
Harrelson says, that may be tapped
at appropriate periods when prices of
timber make It attractive, and these
resources will be steadily reduced un
less a flse foredt policy is pursued
Fire is the worst enemy of the for
ests. It not only destroys matured
timber, but It kills young growth
which would replace timber as It 13
cut, and is said to be more responsible
than any other factor for the unpro
ductive condition of millions of acres.
There is likewise another angle to
this terriiic drain by the fire demon
upon the State's resources. There is
the removal of tax values and intang
ible values that cannot be measured
In dollars and cents, such as injjury to
watersheds, destruction of human or
plant food, restriction of breeding and
feeding ground for wild life, and pol
lution of some of our best fldhlng
streams.
The State Department of Conserva
tion and Development Is endeavoring
to enlist the cooperation of the coun
ties in foredt fire prevention. The
State has a fund which It matches
whh appropriations by the counties,
but this cannot be used unless the
oounMes cooperate. Only 34 of them
have organisations at. the present
time bo control destructive flames.
This to no time, to be sura, for press
ing such matters upon depicted county
treasuries, but It Is a matter that de
serves serious consideration, with a
view bo som e definite and constructive
action whan the time becomes pro
pitious.

HENDERSON, IN. C. JDMLY MBFATCR SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, J 982 ; '
A GREAT SCENIC HIGHWAY
Ikapfld progress to being made in the
construction of the highway that wtti
lead through the Great Smoky Moun
tains National Park in Western
North Carolina, and one link of the
road to to be ready by summer. The
half mile of grading remaining to be
completed is to be finished in time
for the tourist trade that is expected
when the weather turns warm again.
North Carolina has not yet awaken
ed to the tremendous value the Great
Smokies park is to be to this Stake.
Not only will It furnish & marvel for
our own people, but likewise for mil
lions from other stakes who will fre
quent the park during the summer
and winter vacation periods. It will
bring a tourist trade to our borders
i n such volume as we have not hither
to experienced, unless all signs fall.
There Is general agreement that our
western mountains afford the greatest
scenic attraction of eastern America,
and that fact Is coming more and more
to be realised throughout the coun
try. Eastern North Carolina will no*
benefit directly In as large measure
as the west, but whait helps one part
of the State helps the other also, and
and the creative wonders now being
prepared In the mountains will be a
boon to the entire commonwealth.
In the years to come. North Caro
lina will have no regret that it has
spent money to develop this great
playground for the people of the
whole nation.
A BETTER SHOWING
Although automobile fatalities in the
country as a whole last year Increas
ed slightly more than three percent,
deaths from automobile accidents in
North Carolina, decreased two per
cent, fc Is shown by an analysis which
includes statistics from 44 states and
the district of Columbia. The figures
have been gathered from official skate
reports by statisticians of the Travel
ers Insurance Company, and show
that, although 20 states had reduc
tions in deaths last year, the total num
ber of persons fatally injured was
greater than ever before.
The tabulation shows that, by geo
graphical divisions, the New Eng Land
Middle Atlantic. East South Central,
South Atlantic and Pacific Coast
states had more deaths last year from
automobile accidents than In the pre
vious year. The increase amounted
to 3.96 percent in the New England
States; 2.12 percent in the Middle At
lantic states; 1.84 percent in the East
South Central; 3.56 percent in the
South Atlantic, and 10.47 percent In
the Pacific Coast stakes. Decreases
amounted to 1.8 percent in the East
North Central states; 7.71 percent In
the West South Central; 1.34 percent
in the Mountain states, and half of
one percent in the West North Cen
tral group.
In the South Atlantic group. South
Carolina and Florida as weU as North
Carolina, report decreases in deaths.
Talking the figure for the country as
a whole, it would seem that there was
equally as much driving, despite the
depression, as there was before the
slump came, or that those who did
drive were a good deal more careless
about the manner in which they hand
led their care. Whether there was
le«B driving as well as fewer fatali
ties in North Carolina is not revealed,
butt It Is good to know that the State
is at least on the downgrade in this
kind of fatal accidents, even if at a
slow pace. North Carolina made 8
better showing and possibly we are
learning in this State how to be care
ful and how better to use the high
ways, at least in a more careful man
ner.
