JACKSON CO. JOURNAL DAN TOMPKINS, - Editor Published Weekly By the JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL CO Entered as second class matter at Sylva, N. C. f /i Idleness is the principal link in juvenile delinquency. Maybe it is the "hops" across tho Atlantic that attracts so many avia tors. v One trouble is, in platform making, that one damp plank might warp tho whole structure. "Kilgorc Urges More Loans For Farmers." What's the trouble ? f - f # I arn't they paying enough interest now? Massachusetts is about to hold a "good manners week." Folks down South have been wondering, lorjnany years, why something hadn't been' done about it, up there. The new dollar bills, soon to' bc printed, will be smaller but we are hoping that their purchasing power won't be decreased any .more. The headliners, having "combed" the Pacific and "combed" a cavc in Tennessee, during the past week,> will now have to comb the dictionary i'or a new word that means peruse. "Woman Seeks Education." Yes, and a cynic with a caustic typewrit er would remark that, collectively, she needs it. It cost Charlie Chaplin a cool mil-! lion to get frec from his wife. WcJ have seen some women that ee would' be willing to pay more than that get shet of, if we had it and them. BOB QUILLEN'S GONE CRAZY Robert Quillen, famous journan ist and humorist, last year, offered to sell his weekly paper at Fountain, Inn, S. C., to the first man who came in and offered him, a dollar. We thought he had gone crazy. Now hp says that he is pining to get back to te weekly grind; and we know he is crazv. .We know nothing about the cir cumstances surrounding the shooting to death, in the presence of his wife, ' who was riding in his car with him. of a prominent young Georgian, on a country road, outside of town, by the chief of police of Jessup. The officer may be right in his contention that he shot in self defense. It may be that if the town officer hadn't been there, some county officer would have had to do the shooting. But this mnch is certain, if the Chief of po lice of Jessup had been inside the town, looking after his duties of policing Jessup, he wouldn't have Bhot the young man, and wouldn't be under indictment for his murder. MASSACHUSETTS VINDICATES HERSELF ~ , b Whether or not you believe in capital punishment you are forced t? admit that Massachusetts has put the world on notice that that sover ign commonwealth can enforce her own laws, in her own way, without interference from, and against th? protests of all the half-baked refor mers of the world. Whether or not justice was done, whether or not they were guilty or innocent, whether or not capital punishment is right, in the execution of Sacco and Vauzetii, Massachusetts has vindicated- her right to attend to her own affairs and has upheld her dignity as a sov-; erign state. f ' f , IS IT SO? v \ C A headine screamingly proclaims that "$40,000 Reward Speeds' Search." The Journal for one docsj not believe a word of it. We eun, not believe that human nature has J fallen so low and the worship of the almighty dolar such an obsession that the offer of a reward of even $40, 000 would speed up even a little bit, the men who have been so faithfully searching the thousand miles of wat ers that lie between San Francisco and Hawaii for their comrades in air* plane race, who fell into hard luck. We for ono believe that men place a higher value upon human life than $40,000, and that everything humanly possible to find the missing men and women was already, being done, an-1 that the offer of financial reward would not spur the efforts. At least we have that much faith left in our fellow men. i , t r John W. Hill writes a lengthy ar ticle inquiring if "United States Steel will Employ Go-Getter Policies Now." We are ony hoping that the steel trust won't attempt go-getting an increase of that 40 percent divi dend. If it docs, there won't be any small change left for the rest of us. THAT CULLOWHEE ROAD The Journal fears that it wearies its readers by forever talking about the Cullowhcc road, but the need js so apparently urgent. The people have had so many disappointments, tlicy have been expecting the neces sary paving to bo done within a short time for so many years, that this p;i]K'r feels a grave injustice has been done, and that the sooner it is rem edied the better. Highway No. 106 is the great ar tery of commerce for Jackson county. Over it comes the products of field and forest of a great and growing section of the county. Eight miles from Sylva is the only state institu tion in .this part of the state. When it is finally placed on the map run ning from Sylva to the South Caro lina line (as was originally contem plated, and as has been promised again and again) it will be in addi tion to the main road of this county, a great inter-state highway from the South through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, to the West to Cincinnati and Chicago. From Sylva to Cullowhcc the pa trolman who has it in charge J. Robert Cotter, and lie is as good a one as is to be found in the state. He is untiring in his efforts to keep tha road in repair. He and his men work on the job all the time, and work with; purpofte and with an understanding of their job; but with the terrific traffic that goes over it, it is impos sible to keep it in as good shape as it should be, either in wet' weather or dry. The only solution is paving. The law says it shall be done. The jK-ople want it. Jackson county, that iias co-operated to the extent of "i.s ability with the state highway coji t mission in constructing r.mds in this county, is entitled to it. The time h.'s| come when it should be done, or at' least the state highway commission I should give some definite response io the continued imj>ortuuities of tiie people. REFEREE TO HEAR SWAIN ELECTION CASH j ( ? Judgg^ [Philip C. Cocke lins been,; named referee to investigate contest ed election cases now rocketed in the' courts of Swain county. Judge Cocke was appointed to the office Monday by . Judge n. llo\ le, Sink', now presiding at a special ten^ of civil court in Buncombe county. The suits in the Swain! county couit have been brought to test validity of the election of the sheriff, clerk' ?L superior court, and register of deed* of the county. The office holders are all Demo crats while the contestants arc Re publicans. Judge Cocke will review the cases and hold private hearin ; reporting his findings to the Swain county court. \ Over 1,600 club members in North Carolina have taken part in the 30 club encampments and tours held so far this summer.
