It now appears to be |H>pular iu the
North, when a fellow stalls to dab
ble his leet in the ]>olitical waters,
to first declare that lie is "wring

The state is hatching many trout
at Balsam, leaving nothing lacking iu
Western North Carolina but more
water for tsem to swim in.
?" 'Tis an ill wind that blows no
body good.' \ These dry days, dis
tressing to the farmers and causing'
concern to all of us, are yet fine for

North Carolina's great highway,
No. IK, is now open lor travel from1
Svlva to Murphy. It's worth any
body's while to take the trip, on
pleasure bent. There's a new delimit
just around every curve, ami new
Wonders for every mile.
The unbroken ribbon of concrcu
from Asheville to the (icorgia line,
stretching across the Balsams nntl
Cowoes, and through Canton, Wny
liesville, SYLYA, Dillsboro and
Franklin, affording some of the ni(fs,t
magnificent scenery in all Western
North Carolina, will he an accomplish
liient by mid summer. The people
will be coming by the hundreds
every dav.
Western Noilli Carolina is under
going a great wave 01 e\]winsion iitid
with the warning from Florida con
cerning the hinder boys, their should
be no let up I'or years. The roi:ds
the park, the natural resources, the
climate, the location, in the very
heart of the great populous centers
of ihe Western Hemisphere, all argue
tor a greater and still greater Wes
tern North Carolina. By the way,
Jackson is the most favored county
ol? them all.
The- people are becoming .'restive
about tin- surfacing of highway J (Hi
from CuIIhwIicc to Tuckaseigee, an.I
are asking many questions, Tiny
are also anxious to see concrete trout
Sylva to Cullowhee. The Journal is
as anxious about these matters, con
cerning the most important- road in
Jackson county, so far as the great
er part of the county is involved, and
would also like to know when J the
f, '
work will be furthered,

BUY A POPPY?WEAR A POPPY
The little red poppies, copies of
the thousands tfhat bloom, blood-red,
in the fields of France and Fland
ers, where the noblest blood of earth
was shed, that we might live, and
love, and labor in peace and teecui i
ty, will be on sale throughout Am
erica, Saturday, by the American Le
gion and the Legion Auxiliary.'
They were made by disabled vet
erans of the great war, who are paid
for the task. The money from their
sale will be used by the Legion for
the aid of others who have'suffered
by the war. That's why buy a pop
!>>'? j
Wearing a poppy on memorial dry
means that we have not forgotten
those who sleep "where poppies
Wow;*' that we have taken up t!ie
torch from failing hands, to hold it
high, and will not break faith with,
those who sleep where poppies
grow. That's why wear a poppy.

THE WISDOM OF *72
Every once in a while North Car
olina haa reason to be eternally
grateful for the accidental wisdom
that appeared in the carpetbag con
vention that gave us .our state con
stitution. Once more we are thank
ful that there was real brains in
that convention. The executive order,
signed by president Coolidgc, mak
ing prohibition officers of policemen,
constables, sheriffs, deputies and
other state officers, abolishing the
last vestige of state's '? rights aud
local .self government, is barred for-'
ever in this state by the wise pro
vision of our constitution, forbidding
state tuid local officers from being
officials of the United States or of
another staje or foreign country.
While some other states are face
to face with a .serious problem chal
, lenging their sovreignty and focus
ing executive power in Washington,
North Carolina is concerned o:.:y
theoretically, as Governor McLean
points to the constitution of North
Carolina, and asserts that the order
does not and cmi not affect the af
fairs of this state ,pr its municipali
ties.
For all that and all thut, the dead
liest blow that has struck at pro
iiibition is the executive order. it
?.van iiiemt in the right spirit, the
United States having been bedeviled
with the enforcement of prohibition
lo the .point ot exasperation; but it
is assailed on ull sides by both wets
and drys. The American 'people arc
prohibition hy overwhelming major
ity; but they are not yet ready to
sacrifice the great principle of gov
ernment that is involved, even on tlx
altar of prohibition.
if the issue is to be between gov
erumcne by the people or j>o\vru
mciit by Washington, then the ver
dict is already rendered, and' pro
Iiibition as a national institution is
doomed.
