Liucoln is now said to have had a dual personality. Having defied the famous Abe, are we now trying to prove that he was really Janus? It is now time for some leader to come torward and strove that "Peace hath her victories-no less renowned than war.'* Our estimate of Calvin Coolidge has been considerably raised, and his personal courage has excited our euvy, when we learn that, when company comes, and he wants to take a nap, he just takes a nap. We make the motion that Ton: Heflia and Bishop Cannon be sent over to take the side of II Duce against the Pope. If reinforcements are needed they might be recruited in the vicinity of Charlotte. .

' The Tennessee house uiny have i been light in voting that (iovemor | Horton should not be impeached, and i ? it d<jes appear mi the surface, that t-be vote was mostly a political line- j up of partisans and enemies of Horton; but it must be admitted that there has been some bad fiuaneial management on the other side of the mountains, t0 say the least of it. America is a land of contradic tions. We outlaw lotteries, close up |K)ker and roulette houses, and ar rest little negroes for shooting craps; j but boost the New York Stock Ex change ;carry its doings in the papers; broadcast the c-ast of the die over the radio and patronize it witii money that we need for legitimate basiness. Claude 0. Bwers, one ot! America's most profound students of political history, and a great orator, spoke plain and simple facts to the stu denta of the University of North Carolina, when he said that this country most choose a return to old fashioned and simple Jeffer soniaa Democracy, or. that Bolshe vism will overtake us. The preeemi political and economic system can lead but revolution and the drastic measures adopted in Russia and Italy; and the only remedy that will prevent our present ills taking such a tar.>i is the application of the sim ple principles of government as ad vocated by Jefferson to onr political and economic life. i It Is known of all men that AL Capone is the laeder of a highly or ganized gang of lawbreakers, whose huge income is largely from violation of the prohibition laws, and other criminal activities. He was indicted in Chicago, the other day, for evading payment of bis federal income tax. He was arrested and released on bond of $30,000.00 and not another charge was booked against him. Figure it out for yourself. What does the govern nujut think the most important, forc ing respect for its laws and its con stitution, or collection of its taxes, even though the income be based on crime? What of the peace and the dignity of the government! Sounds like the doings of a eomic opera country, it? some foolish fiction. The Asheville Citizen of Monday carried an editorial <m "Advertising Asheville." And we had been think ing all along, that Asheville had been pretty thoroughly advertised, during the past fix or seven months. Sounds like old times to hear the whispers of Col. E. M. House reverb erating in the land, saying little but accomplishing much. Maybe the re turn of Wilson's valued confidant to the realm of political activities tore casts the return of Wilsonism and a wholesome respect for the rights of the common man. ' ? < Germany is again seeking relief from payment of indemnities imjwsed upon her by the Treaty of Ver sailles. Turn the world up side down, and written upon the bottom ?f it can be read "made in Germany.'* And jet, from the day that Germany, thwarted in her ambition to dominate the world, .threw up her arms and yelled "Kamerad," and the War Lord tucked tail and ran to Holland to hide behind Wlihelir.ina's petti coat, Germany has been whining about paying for the havoc that she wrought. Her own countryside and fair cities left unscathed, beeause she fjave up and quit before the con flict had reached that point, while j much of France and Belgium was in i ruins, she has been seeking to evade . payment. Strange to relate, Germany ! has much support from high sources i in this country and in those of the ' former allies. i CLARENCE ANGEL "80" The passing of Clarence C. Angel, publisher of the Bryson City Times, under most tragic circumstances, is j a matter of keenest regret to the newspaper people of Western North Carolina, and of profound sorrow to the people of his community. Mr. Angel, a young man, entered ' the iournalistic work some two years j ago, when the business depression wa* beginning to be felt in the country j newspaper offices, by purchasing the I Bryson City Times. Perhaps he did 1 not meet with the success that he had hoped. Few mortals do. The months during which he. labored were j the most trying that the people of j the country have experienced in many j years. The building of a newspaper is j a slow, laborious, and. painful pro- j cess; ljut this writer, a personal { friend of the Bryson City publisher, has watched his work from week to I week, and has watched him develop,! has seen the growth of the man in his work, and has believed that his efforts on behalf of his community I and his paper would meet with ulti mate success. Mr. Angel was a man of more than i the average intelligence. He did hisj own thinking. He was an industrious craftsman, working diligently at hi& task. He had in larger measure than most men possess the first requisite of newspaper man?the courage of his convictions, the simple courage to say what he thought, regardless of i the opinions of others or the possible results to himself. This, coupled with ! his increasing ability as a writer, would have carried the Bryson City Times far alcng toward the role of a leader in Western North Carolina. SUBSCRIPTION RATES The Publishers' Auxiliary, a nation I ally circulated newspaper publication has been asked if the priee of sub scriptions to weekly papers should be lowered. Here is his answer: j "For the subscriber the difference i between a newspaper at $2.00 a year or at $1.50 a year is less than one cent a week. In the course of a year it means to him only the cost of five ten cent cigars. To the publisher of a weekly newts paper with 1,000 circulation the dif ference betwjeen a $2.00 subscription price or $1.50 price means $500.00 a year. The $500.00 may very well mean the difference between a profit able or an unprofitable business; the difference between a comfortable liv ing for the publisher and family or a mere existence. In 1914 the general price of country weelv newspapeqrs was $1.50 a year. At that time the country publisher was buying newsprint at about three cents a pound in ton lots Today he is paying four to five cents a pound. At that time he was paying one cent a pound flat for postage. To day he pays one and a half cents on the reading matter contents of his paper and zone rates on the adver tising. At that time he toas payin? prom $12.00 to $20.00 1} week for winters. Today he pays anyway from $20.00 to $40.00 for printers. There are but few items that enter into the paper that do not cost anywhere from 25 to lOAr per cent more that the I same items cost in 1914. The people of amy com rnunity wish that community to be represented by n erood new?l>?per. The po^l? "want the difference be THE FAMILY .DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D. "SIMPLE" LARYNGITIS. By this term, I mean the sort of "hoarseness" that has no chronic, tubercular, or other complicated nature. Its cause is, sudden exposure to extremes of temperature, or over-use of the voc.'l organs in an improper manner. Gergymen get it frequently ?and amateur vocalists; children with adenoids, large tonsils? and those who breathe through the mouth, from nasal or other respiratory infection. The onset of simple laryngitis is usually sudden; its duration depends upon the treatment employed. When, in the case of singers, hoarseness and husky voice appears. REST is the treat ment ; perfect silence, if it can be enforced, may be maintained for 24 or 48 hours and will produce wonderful results. Simple gargling with warm water containing a mild antiseptic such as boric acid, is good home treatment. "Croup/' now seldom heard of, is laryngitis in the simple form. For a long time diphtheria was called "membranous croup," singu larly fatal before the discovery of anti-toxin; the improved treat ment is little less than a God-send which has almost banished terror of this, one of childhood's most fatal rmhdies. The simple laryngitis of childhood may or may not disable me youngster. The hoarseness precedes the loud, barking cough. The attack may !>e cured in two, or three days, by attention to the ?bowels and hygiene.of the child; minute doses of any good cough remedy helps to dismiss the annoving cough; I employ one with a little syrup of ipecac, to secure relaxation of the skin and to favor sweating; of course the little patient is kept in an even temperature until he is well; and his play outdoors should be undertaken gradu ally. until he is well used to the pure out-door air. Lobelia is very useful in -"spasmodic croup," but it should be given under the supervision of your doctor. tween four cents a week. To quote a report of the National Editorial As Mjeiation: "The people have demon si rated that they will more willingly pay a lull pr'cp for full value than a partial price for partial value. Country newspaper prices have not been increased in anything like the proportion that m-wspaper costs have increased. The greatest bargain that; the public is offered today is the '? home town weekly newspaper, and no subscriber who really wants the paper i is going to object to paying a fair price for it. He is not that anxious to save one cent a week". ? "LAYMAN'S DAY" T METH ODIST CHURCH, SUNDAY Sunday is to he " Layman's Day" ? in the Methodist church of Sylva. In fact it will be Layman's Day through out Southern Method i sir. The laymen of the church will he in complete charm- of the services. Sunday, the j>ew will preach. The theme of tin* service is the same as is being used by the pastor in a series of sermons now running, "The way to Spiritual Power". Sev eral outstanding laymen will make brief talks on the following topics: " The Need of Spiritual Power ", " The Way To Achieve Spiritual Power '? "Results Obtainable With Spiritual Power". Music appropriate to the occasion will be used. In the evening at 8 o'clock, Mr. Clemmer will preach at Dillsboro on the topic, "Universal Religion". The Church schools of the charge convene at 10 a. n\ Hi?league meets in the evening at 7 o 'clock. A cordial wel come awaits the public at every serv ice. A .
