THE WEEK
(By DAN TOMPKINS)
Chairman S ho use of the Democrat
ic Kxeeutive Commit tec, who hails
from bleeding Kansas, reports the
bucolic West- as in revolt against
Hoover and all his works, lie pre-'
diets that the Democrats' will capture
10 seats in the House and six in the
Senate in the fall elections.
Time was when -May Day was a
time oi gladness and frolicking?now
police of the world prepare against
its coming in fear of Lied Demon
strations.
Ii is probable that today-will see
the vote on the confirmation of
.Judge Parker as associate justice of
the supreme court!. So far only two
senators, Wagner of New York and
McKeller of Tennessee', have brought
I ort Ii any object on that is really
worthy of consideration.* They raise
a ?|nest ion as to his ability Integrity
and ability should be the only tests
for such an ap|Hiintment; but the
labor organizations are op|H>siug him,
ami the real opposition coiues from
t hat impudent orgnui/.at ion known as
The Society tor the Advancement
of Colored People, and the. tear that
senators form doubtful Stales have
of the Negro vote.
liepreseutat ive fat man of Texas,
demands the removal of Attornev
S ? I
(.ienera! Mitchell, charging that be
has failed and refused to enforce the
anti-monopoly laws against the oil
companies. Are we to have another
era of oil discussion?
There is more land being plowed
for cultivation in Jackson and the
other Southwestern counties of this
State this year than in any season
since'the great war. It is well. This
is nssentiallv a bucolic region; and
from the soil must come our prosper-,
liny a farm or a lot now: Own
your own home. Never will you again
be able to buy real estate in Western
North Carolina at a lower price than
now. It i> a sound investment. x
Senator Borah is leading the light
against the continuation' of .Judge
Parker, lie tore, his shirt for Mr.
Hoover, in the campaign; and has
opposed everything President Hoover,
iia* asked for since the inauguration'

Out in Wichita in Kansas, the dri
est State, nine members of a fashion
able bridge club are laid up with
"jake paralysis" from drinking
spiked punch. Some of the ladies are
confined to their beds, while others!
are able to get about on crutches,
having |o>| the use of their legs, j
LastSumlay, over in Kayetteville,
Tenn, an American Legion Post was
holding an air circus. A stunt flyer's
plane plunged into the crowd, killing
7 people and injuring 20 other.
I
Tlu- Ashcvillc Times, following the
had of tIk* Literary Digest, is taking;
a prohibition poll of Western Xortli'
('molina. What 1 can't understand i
is why take so much ot' tlie peoples'
time in endless straw votes and con-,
sequent discussion of the subject,j
when nothing' can he dojie about it.!
The 18th Amendment, like the 15th is|
in the Constitution, right or wrong,;
and it is practically impossible to
get it out. Then why not lead the
minds of the people into channels of]
thought on matters of much greater'
importance, about which something
can and should be done, and let pro-.
hihitiou rest for a while?
The greatest vote of conlidence in
the fundamental soundness of Sylvn
and .lackson county that could i>os
sihlv have been given was the gain
in bank deposits between Saturday
morning and Tuesday morning of
$71,101.03, and the steady increase!
since that time.
It might pay to keep your eye on
the (Jovernor of New York. He looms
larger, and larger as a pcrsidential
possibility. Aside from being a man
of recognized superior ability, and
a fearless, honest, clean gentleman,
who has the respect and confidence of
the people, Gov. Roosevelt should be
able to poll practically all the votes
thnt A1 Smith got. and also all the
Democratic votes that Smith didn't
gft.
