THE WEEK
(BY DAW TOMPKINS.)
One man from Massachusetts, one
from New York and two from New
Jersy, were sentenced to serve from
17 to 20 years in the State's prison,
after a jury had convicted seven men
of the murder of Policeman Aderholt,
in the troubles growing out of the
Gastonia textile strike. Two Qastonia
men were sentenced for from 12 to
15 years, and another got off with a
five to seven yeafs sentence. All ap
pealed. Now, provided of course, Jhat
the sentences are ever executed, if
the members of the mob that murder
ed Mrs. Wiggins, and thu men respon
sible for the Marion Massacre are
convicted and sent to the penitentiary
North Carolina justice will be fully
vindicated, and none can deny that
North Caroina law is no inspector of
persons Judge Barnhill and the Meck
lenburg jury appear, at this distance,
to have done their full duty. It is
for other juries and other judges -to
finish the chapter.
One of the most distinguished as
semblages ever to meet in the world,
gathered, Monday evening in Dear
born to pay tribute to Thomas A. Edi
son, the grand' old man of science, on
the fiftieth anniversary of the first
incandescent light. The world has gone
far, sinoe that day, 50 years ago, in
the realm of science; but, perhaps, no
man of any age has contributed
more to the physical comfort and well
being of the race than has Mr. Edison
and no one will envy thd grand old
man the tributes of the world.
The French cabinet resigned, after
a defeat of the government by a co
alition in the parliament. This is an
example of real alemocrcy that; they
have in France and Britain. Here wo
have to put up with lame ducks long
after the people are ready to repudi
ate them.
Th^ AdiumHrt^oii haa met defeat
on every kand, so far, in the Senate
battle over the passage of the tariff
bill submitted -by the house, with the
approval of the White House. Maybe,
the tariff bill, when it is finally pass
ed, if it ever is, wont be such a bad
one, after all. We shall wait and see.
The policy of the government should
be toward a gradual tariff reduction,
so as not to throw our whole economic
system out of joint, as we work to
abolition of the artificial barriers that
have taxed the many for the benfit
of the few, and have militated against
America attaining her position of
dominance in the trade of the world.
Few people, when they figure the tax
burdens of the country, take into the
accounting the tariff that taxes mon
ey out of the pockets of everybody
in the country, the largest tax of
all, and which does not go into! the
common coffer; but swells the bank
accounts of the privileged few.
Another fool has started across the
Atlantic in a small monoplane, trying
to emulate Lidbergh. Why try to fly
acroes the ocean in a land plane f
And, suppose he does make it across
alive, what of, it f What contribution
has he made that will in any way ben
efit the racet There is a vast differ
ence in bravery in a good cause, and
in being a plain fool.

Theh Virginia Conference resolved
that the General Conference should re
quire that- bishops assigned to Mission
Conferences should remain on their
fields. It is for Bishop Cannon to de
cide, with his" animadversive mind,
whether there was anything personal
in the action of the Virginia Method
ist brethren.

On next Tuesday the Virginia vot

that the regular Democratic candidates
will win in a walk, over the Anti

Stikeleather In Favor
Completing Highway
- On Tuesday evening, members of
the delegation that last week went to
Raleigh to appear before the State' -
Highway Commission in the interest
of the early completion of the paving
of highway 106 to Cullowheq, report- ..
ed that the Highway Commission gave
them a most respectful and sympa
thetic hearing, and that their efforts
were ably seconded by Mr. James G.
Stikeleather, Commissioner for this
district.
While no promises were made, and
while the emergency fund for next
year, which it was believed until a ? *
short time ago would be us&L on this
project, was apportioned to 28 to be
used between Highlands and Sap
phire, the delegation was led to be
lieve that the entire commission, es
ecially Governor Doughton^ the chair
man, and Mr. Stikeleather, is very" ?
much interested in completing 106 by
Western Carolina Teachers College. : ?
Since the return of t,he delegation'*
from Kaleigh, Mr. Stikeleather has
called Mr. Thomas A. Cox, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, and al
so chairman of the delegation, and
again expressed his interest in the
Cullowhee road and his determination'
i
to complete it at the earliest possible
moment that funds can. be made -
availably for the purpose.
Mr. H R. Queen, speaking for the
committee, reported that the Highway
Commissioner, Mr. Stikeleather, and
the county authorities are working in
harmony in trying to devise means to
extend the present paving project on
106 from, the limits of the Town of
Sylva to the intersection of 106 with
Highway No. 10/- and that Mr. Stike-'
leather is very much interested in th* *
matter of completeig- the paving on-*
into Sylva. x **
