JACKSON CO. JOURNAL DAN TOMPKINS, - - Editor Published Weekly By the JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL CO ) Entered as second class matter at Sylva, N. C. "Women's Rights Still Advancing" ?And the lefts are keeping step. - i -a ,v * The winter climate "West of the Balsams" again stands vindicated as the best brand in Xortli Carolina.) "?'it is presumed that in North. Caro lina public schools, practically all the boys and girls arc exposed to educa tion; but we notice that.it doesn't always take. ,1 Xorth Carolina is one of the great furniture manufacturing states of the union and not a single failure among the state's furniture plants in two years. They say that Germany is still un repentant and prove it by the fact that she ignores Armistice Day. For all that, and all that, we'll bfct that every time anybody says war in her presence for several generations to come, she'll tuck her tail between her legs and run like a greyhound. "Coolidgc Calls U. S, Prosperity; Severest Test." For once the presi-' dent i^ eternally right. The kind of! prosperity we have been experienc-j ing would try the bank account oft almost anybody. If the ability to change one's mind is a real test of greatness, this fellow Ford is the greatest of the great. Witness this headline from a daily paper: "Ford Lauds Work, Likes Hoover and Praises Jews." We be lieve the stories we have been hearing about a shift-gear Ford coming. MEN GETTING BETTER Morganton News-Herald. Frequently the subject is discussed as to whether the world is growing better or worse. Along this line it is interesting and heartening to note that the aged bishop-of the Moravian church Edward Rondthaler of Win ston-Salem, is confident; that men are getting better with the years. The 85 year old churchman spoke recently at Charlotte, giving his testi mony. "The movies are not yicious ex cept in spots. The automobile is an agency of more good than evil. Men are soberer than they were 50 years ago when Bishop Rondthaler came to North Carolina. Twenty men arc in] Bible classes now to one then. "Incidentally, Bishop Rondthaler said: " 'The great product of the state is the North Carolinian himself. He is a thoughtful, kindly and vigorous man. The normal North Carolinian is a rather quiet man. I soon learned to trust him when I came south. " 'The growth of industry in the State has not affected him. It has! given him advantages of education J that he did not h?ve formerly. It does j not make him a. better man but it makes him better equipped." Whieh we deem a fine compliihcnt from a man of lofty spirit and keen understanding who has spent a half century with Tar Heels. In these days when North Carolinians arc ac cused and accused of blatancy, ii may be soothing to the riled to know that! this splendid personage, who has' lived to 'be rather than to seem', jgreat, regards the,'^'normal Ndrtli Carolinian' as 'a rather quiet man'i whom he 'soon learned to trust' when he came south and who has not given him cause to lose that confidence." NORTH CAROLINA AND SMITH There has been developing, for some months, much debate and some bitterness in North Carolina anent the candidacy of Governor Smith for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. The prohibition organizations have ' been waging in this state, an inten sive campaign against the nomina tion "by either political party," of "any candidate who is not in sympa thy with the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act." These speakers have delivered themselves in church es in almost every town and hamlet in North Carolina. Bishop Mouzon, head of Meth odism in North Carolm,a has openly opposed Smith. The New York oov crnor has been denounced from pul pit,on the streets and in religious and secular press by leaders of Methedist and Baptist denominations, and has been resolved against in religious as semblies. Senator Simmons, titular i . " \ 1 ?? ^ head of the Democratic party in the state, has announced his opposition J to Smith's candidacy on the ground of "unavailability." All this is in teresting to us, because it is in our own state, and is of interest to the country at large because North Car olina is the state that gave both Mr. Cox and Mr. Davis the largest major ities that they received in any state of all our glorious union. The situation has been intensified, Y * / \ and the lines darwn closer, by the publication in the daily papers, last Sunday of a two pagearticle from the j>en of Mr. C. VV. Tillett, favoring Governor Smith's nomination by the Democrats, and stating that Smith is the "Great outstanding Democrat of he world." The article by Mr. Tillett is all the more interesting and carries with it all the more weight because the author is 70 years of age, is i. former president of the North Caro lina Bar Association, is one ot the leading Methodist laymen of the state, and is known throughout North Carolina as a man who has ever been an ardent worker in the Methodist church, has fought the light for pro hibition through both good and evil report, and is still both an nrdeiit Methodist and a believer in prohibi tion. , 0, In his article, Mr. Tillett answers those who oppose Governor Smith be cause of his membership in the Rom-: an Catholic church by quoting tho Third Section of Article Six of the! Constitution of the , United States: I "No religious test shall ever be re-j quired as a qualification to any of- [ fiee or trust under the United States." He then discusses the prohibition phase at great length and asserts! that Governor Smith, were he elected president, could not, if he would, re peal either the 38th amendment or the \ olstead Act, and asserts that he would dworce the prohibition laws as well as they have ever been enforce.! by any president and as well as anv] prospective president would enforce! them. Mr. Tillett on this point,' quotes president Wilson: "I do not believe that party programs of the* highest consequence to the political' life of the state and nation ought to-' be thrust to one side and hopelessly! embarrassed for long periods of time I by making a political issue of a great j question that is essentially non-poli tical, non-partisan moral and social | in its nature." Mr. Tillett concludes | with a warning to the Protestant not1 to depart from their mission to preach Christ and Him crucified. Vln conclusion," says Mr. Tillett, "Mr. Preacher, may I have a word' with you, heart to heart f" > | ' "If y?u pledge yourselty^to do all' in your power to defeat Governor Smith, if he is nominated as Demo cratic candidate next year do you realise what a fulfillment of your vow will mean to you and your church ? ( 'Do you expect to preach sermonsj opposing Smith and advising your members to support the Republican candidate? If so, do you expect the members of your church who arc supporters of Governor Smith tamely to submit to your excoriations of their candi date, which necessarily means con-i demnation of them? Are yo.u so deaf that you cannot hear the rumblings of discontent at the prospect of such a situation? Aie you so blind that you cannot see the awful chasm at the end of the Course you propose to pursue? The other day at the opening of the great Methodist Cathedral here in Charlotte, Bishop Mouzon (niy most highly-esteemed bishop) gave utterance to' this striking though pes simistic statement: 'Our Christian civilization is in the midst of a ter rible moral collapse!"' / "If that is true,.as I fear it is, do you not aree with me that the church, the chief conservator of Christian civ ilization, is chiefly responsible for this appalling condition? "And if the church is chiefly re sponsible, do you not agree with me that the ministers, who are necessar ily the foremost leaders in the church, must be held chiefly responsible for the failure of the church to conserve our Christian civilization? "I am not unmindful of the fact that to al who believe the Pope to be anti-Chnst, I will be henchforth, - anetliema'; and that to all who re gard the Volstead Act lex su prema, I will be -'marantha." "A few days ago the calendar of my years rounded out three score years and ten. While,mine eye is not dimmed nor my natural force abated nevertheless, I know that the span of Z \ \Cami0t bG mueh Ponged VUt far behind me all ambitions pohtxcal or otherwise. T| circuit-rider, fhavT^ *7" ?f * than half a century a me^eToftW Methodist church. 4'For more than two score years I have battled for puhibition and bear I upon "me now some scars of the con flict. "I have no affiliations whatever with the Catholics and, so far as I now recall, I have not a single Cath olic among my cleints. "The nomination and election of } Al'Smith for president means nothing to! me, but I sincerely believe him to be a useful, upright, patriotic Chris tian citizen, and it does mean much I ' ? *. to me, grieves me sorely, that my na 1 tive state that I love, and the church that has fostered me and nourished in me the feeble spark of spirtiual: life that seemed so otfen about to ! expire, are now in grave danger of j standing condemned before the bar of righteous, intelligent, fair-minded public opinion f?? having made un just and undeserved attacks upon an upright Christian' citizen, aiid for hav ing plunged Church and State into needless conflict that portends no good and can result only in disaster and ruin.. "However much you differ with me or even condemn me fbr what is here written, I dare repeat that pray er uttered once by the Psalmist Dav is. 'Examine me, O Lord, and prove 1 me; try my reins and my heart.' "And I will be found guiltless in : (lod's sight of any sinister or un worthv motive."
