JACKSON CO. JOIWIMl DAN TOMPKINS, - Editor Published Weekly By the JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL GC Enteredas second class matter at Sylva, N. C. THE OMAHA 8PEECH Governor Smith, in his speech at Omaha, put his l'inger right on whal nils agriculture, when he says in so many words that the tariff, which i'orces the farmer to buy in a pro tected market, defeats the natural Inw of suj?ply and demand, and makes njanufacturers in certain localities wealthy at exjiense of the farmer. He clearly proves that raising the tariff 011 farm products has entirely failed to relieve the farmer. In other words 'the test of the sacred cow * * ? that is provided tor the farmer is a dry one. The remedy which is suggested hv Mr. Smith, namely the adoption of the McNarv-IInugen Bill, as we see it, would only confuse the situation, by ]M>rhaps providing temporary re lief for the farmers; but on the other hand so as to include the farmers. Two wrongs can't make n right. Why not right the wrong that is being per petuated? A perusal of the history of the Ro man Republic will show that just such a policy presaged the over throw of the Republic and the es tablishing of the monarchy. PUNY MAN It is human -nature for us to ac quire an exaggerated sense of our importance as individuals and as a race. \\Y boast that the ingenuity >1 man has plumbed the realm of sci ence, to the extent that we send oar words, songs and music a thousand miles through the air, we send our ships soaring through the blue, and have mndc our homes palaces with conveniences and luxuries, of which Solomon in all his glory never dream ed. Bat, when man meets the fury 01' the enraged elements, how puny he appears! How helpless lie is! How inconsequential are his boasted con trivances! N'o wonder primitive man enter tained a wholesome fear of the ele ments, and made them his objects of worship. Today before the on slaught ot' a hurricane, the rage of roaring flood, the fury of a cyclone, or the swift destruction of an earth quake^ man is helpless as he was when he reared his brood in the cave-: of the mountains. Western North Carolina is peculiar ly blessed of nature in that none of the terrible storms ever strike her in all their fury. That is another reason why our people should be generous in their contributions to those in the West . Indies and Florida, our fellow citizens j of this republic, who have been so, sorely smitten. The American Red Cross is on th^* ! job relieving the suffering, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, hous ing the shelterless, and preparing for rehabilitation. That is the most Chris tian mission, and our people will con tribute as liberally as they can. The Ited Cross can not do its work with out money. IS THESE AN ANTI CATHOLIC PARTY Back in the old days, when the Federalist party, by reason of re peated defeats at the hands of the Democrats, was on its last legs, there arose in America an Anti- Masonic Party, which flourished with all the zeal of religious intolerance against members of the Masonic order. Preachers, church conferences and conventions, newspapers, and evang elists hurled their abuse at the or- j der, and political conventions were called, platforms adopted and candi dates nominated, with the purpose of outlawing Masonry. The federalist party fused with the anti-Masonics in many states andl successfully so in many instances. So the good year 1928 is not the .first time in the history of this country that religious prejudices has played a big part in politics. But the movement, a hundred years ago killed the Federalist i?arty, eventually. From all over America we aro hearing tales of opposition to Gov ernor Smith because he is a Roman Catholic. The flames of religious hatred are being fanned to fury by certain papers, by circulization, by. some protestant preachers. The venom is being unloosed. The poison is being subtly injected into the veins of the blood of the body politic. The minds of people are being prejudiced against their neighbors. It ja true that the movement was afoot several years before the Hous ton convention. There have been pa pers, organizations, and! individuals who have been living on prejudice that they have been creating. Now the whole fnry of the storm has been turned against Governor Smith, ? and he is bearing the brunt of the attack. All of which causes us to wonder if there is an Anti-Catholic Party, | not in name, but in reality, in the | United States. If there is, and it has very much that appearance, just where will such a movement lead us? How far afield will it carry America from the ideals of the constitution? Will it result in the formation of a Catholic party, which would divide America, politically, on a religious question ? Is free America to become a battle ground over religion 1 Are we to turn back the clock a few centuries, and revive the strife between Protec tant and Catholic? The answer is, that sober-minded, God-fearing, Humanity-loving, Chris* - 1 following, Patriotic Americans, must J keep their balance, recall to mind the grim lessons' of hi?tk?ry, reverence the constitutional provisions of sepa ration of Church and State, and keep | themselves as free from prejudice against their neighbors, in all things, is passible in these parlous times.
