HARDSHIPS AMD
THE WEEK
l" (By DAN TOMPKINS)
The episcopacy committee of tho
Methodist Church, South, exonerat
ed Bishop Cannon of the charge of
stock gambling, after voting to bring
him to trial before the Conference,'
and after the Bishop had practically
entered a plea of guilty, and asked
for forgiveness. The action of the
committee was to have been expected
But the time has come when a coat
of white-wash, even by a committee |
of a general conference, will change!
the opinion of few people. Mr. Pit/.-1
hugh, of Memphis, lodged a protest!
of the committee's action and .Bought j
to ,have his protest and the charges |
against Bishop Gannon placed in thej
record of the Conference; but was
voted down by the Conference, after:
Bishop Collins Denny, presiding, had
ruled with Mr. Fitzhugh.
Many Western North Carolinians:
will be pleased to know that Gifford j
I'inchot has apparently defeated the;
Vare machine iu Pennsylvania, and
gained the Republican nomination
for governor, not only because of his
victory over the machine, but also be
cause Governor Pine hot, a Roosevelt
ian Republican, has lived in Western
North Carolina, and many people re-)
member him with the kindest of
feelings.
Joseph R. Grundy, notorious as a
tariff lobbyist, and present Senator
from Pennsylvania, by grace of the
appointment ot the Governor, receiv
ed a smashing defeat for renomina
tion in the Republican primaries iu
Pennsylvania, Tuesday. Nobody has
ever questioned the orthodox Repub
licanism of Mr. Grundy, chief bene
ficiary of the tariff on wool; but he
Was not backed by the machine, and,
on the other hand, has never opposed
and defied it, as has Governor Pin
ehot. .lames J. Davis, almost as
much a lixture as Secretary of La
bor as Andrew Mellon is as head of
the treasury, defeated Mr. Grundy
The Vnre machine baeked Davis. |
Dweu J. Roberts has been confirm- j
ed for the place on the Supreme
Court bench, to which John J. Park
er was lirst ap)K>inted. There was no,
opposition to Roberts' confirmation;
but ,then, he lives in orthodox Penn
sylvania. *
General Dawes has now appeared
as a composer of music. Most Ameri
cans, who are familiar with the Gen
eral chiefly through his explosions
of "Hell and Maria", will be sur
prised to learn that his "tuneful
comjK)sition, 'Melodic',, is inculded
I in all of Fritz Krcislcr's program

I The president of General Motors
Corporation, one of the largest of
American business concerns, has add
ed his opinion to that of the econo
mists as to the harmful effects that
can be expected if the present tariff
hill is enacted. He says that it will
"increase the cost of living, retard
America's commercial growth, tend
to permanently reduce the volume of
American business, and prove harm
ful to the great majority of the peo
ple of the United States, by imposing
additional burdens on everybooj,
burdens which must be borne by the
industrialist, the worker, and the
farmer alike".

SCOUT TROOP
At the regular weekly luncheon of
the Sylva Rotary Club, at the Sylva
hotel, Tuesday, the club decided to
become sponsor for another Scout
troop in Sylva.
The need for another troop was
presented to the Club by Rotarian
(Vorge Clemmer, who is also Scout
master of troop one. Mr. Clemmer
told the Hub of the large number of
boys who have recently become
twelve years of age and are clamour
ing for admittance info Seouting..
Troop one has been so successful, has
met such a need in the lives of the
boys, that the boys drop out very
slowly. There is not room in old troop
one to take care of the boys coming
scout age. Hence the necessity for a
new troop.
Mr. Clemmer advised the club that
in case it saw fit to back the pro
posed troop, a very splendid young
man, Mr. Lawson Allen, has agreed
to volunteer his service for the po
sition of Scoutmaster.
The club voted unanimously to
sponsor the organization of a new
troop. President S. W. Enloe an_
nounccd that he woald give the mat
ter some close study, and appoint a
troop committee at the next meet
ing of the club. V
