It might help the agricultural sit
uation ' throughout the country if
congress would pass a statute al
lowing the farmers to market the
road hogs.
There had been some reason for
believing that Al. Smith would have
a lafge following in North Carolina.
Now comes , the disquieting news, to
the Smith people, that Rev. Attorney
Tom P. Jimison is helping organize
the state for Smith; and even the
popular Smith will hardly be able to
carry such a load.
Cullowhce State Normal is a great
institution. It grows greater the
time. But one thing stands in the
way of its continued growth and use- [
funess; and that is the uigent need
of a hard surfaced road connecting
the institution with the state highway
system. That was guaranteed in the
first road bill that was passed, when
the first bonds were issued. The
highway commission should bend ev
ery effort to its completion' at the
earliest possible moment.
BACK THEM UP
Moiiday morning the school bells i
will ring, and Jackson county's greatj
army of boys and girls will march in I
for the dpening of our schools. What j
they accomplish this year will de-|
pend largely upon themseves and the
general public. The teachers have the
responsibility; but they can't -do it
all. The board of education, the
county superintendent, the local
school committees can't do it all.
They must have the co-operation, the]
support and the substantial backing
of the people of the county;.but all
working together, we citn accomplish
much. The schools cost a lot of mon
ey. The people are making a big in
vestment in public education. They
should do all that they can to sec
that the investment pays. j ,
The Journal has frequently had oc
casion to criticise the public school
system. When the people fail, in our
opinion, to get their money's worth,
we will continue to criticise; but it
is done in the spirit of co-operation
and helpfulness. Constructive criti
cism helps much. Destructive criticism
i-; the easiest thing in the world to
j do; and it only succeeds in disrup
tion and a loss of time and money.
, If you see things that are wrong and
ran offer a better way, do it. If
you can't offer a helpful sugges
tion, it were better to say nothing.
The entire school system employees
from the state superintendent down
to the teacher of the one-teacher six
months schools, are the servants of
the people. The people pay them, and
in the end they are answerable to
v the people and the people alone. Thev
are working for you?you are pay
ing them?help them to do their work
1 well.
In Charles G. Bowers'*"Jefferson
and Hamilton," is the following pas
sage:
When Jefferson assumed the
task of organizing the opposition
to the policies of the Federalists
all the forces most susceptible to
organization and intelligent direc
tion Were arrayed upon the oth
er. side. The comnicrcial interests
constituting Hamilton's shock
troops, had their organizations in
all the larger towns. . . The va
rious Chambers of Commerce
were Federalists clubs that could
be summoned to action on a
day's notice. The financial in
terests always in close formation
when not sleeping on their arms,
could be ordered to the front ov
ernight. The live wire speculator
whose fortunes had sprung up
magically were on their toes to
do, battle for the system that had
enriched them and eager to do the
bidding of the magician who fed
waved the wand. The greater part
' ot' the intellectuals, lawyers^doe
tors, professors, preachers were
enthusiastic champions of Hamil
tonian }>ol[iee ".nd because of their
prestige these were powerful fac
tors in the molding of opinion.
And, most serious of all, fJ'om
Jefferson's point of view, the
major portion of the press was
either militantly Hamiltonian or
indifferently Democratic. Tn the
drawing rooms were heard the
sentiment's of the Chambers of
Commerce?in1 glorification of ?
materialism.
Sounds very much like a summing
up of the situation as it is today,
doesn't it? Again America has stray
ed frojn the straight and narrow path
and is bowing the knee to the god of
materialism. Oh, lor another (?lefler-v
son to sound the rallying <jry of,those
who still believe in human heights an !
I human liberty, and to awake the peo
ple of the nation to the true situation!
