FORTY YEARS AGO Tuckaseige Democrat, July 29, 1891 The first load of cattle from this county this season was shipped by W. C. Norton to the Charleston Mar I ket last Thursday. They were good cattle and we hope Mr. Norton wil realize a good price for them. A much needeu improvement has bec-n made by the owners of ''the Sylva Hotel in the removal of the unsightly closet under the front steps and the shelter over the front door of the store and by the cleans ing applied to the yard.

Jackson County School Teachers Are Announced WEEK BY WEEK (By DAN TOMPKINS) Robert R. Reynolds, lawyer, poli tician, and all-round good fellow, of Asheville has announced his candi dacy for the United States senate, seeking to succeed Cameron Morrison, and opposing Frank Grist and all others. It is difficult to determine whether ,Mr. Reynolds is running again or still running; but this time he presents himself on a platform calling for the modification of the prohibition laws. We are not saying whether Bob's ]>osition is right or wrong; but I do say that he wont get very far with it in North Caro lina. in the first p!ae.? !h?. people arc not interested. There are far more important things to be thrashed out in th.' next election than to be talk ing about prohibition, the laws gov erning which are almost iiiijMissible <?f repeal or modification. What North Carol 11a folks. want is a man of ability, who is grounded in the prin ciples of Jeffersonian democracy, who has no entangi.-ineuis with the power trust, either by owning stock or serving as an attorney few it, and who ran be depended upon to stand by the principles in which most North Carolinians believe. Trot him out and North Carolina is ready to vote. A speaker at the Human Relations Conference at Blue Ridgi a<lv?*catod governmental restriction of labor sav" ing dovices.That isn't what is needed. Labor saving is worth much to hu manity, if it were not for the fact that only the people who do not la bor receive the benefits, and the la borer loses a" job. Hoggishness is tit" basis of all our troubles. The Creatorl has made plenty for all of us; but a few people have hogged the great er part of things material. Tno Governor of Oklahoma, the re doubtable Alfalfa Bill Murray, buckled on his guns, marched his troops up to his bridge, to defend the sovereignty of Oklahoma, and then knuckled down before an injunction from a federal court. A great show the governor made of himself. Si Bernard, who never went to col lege, has been unanimously elected president of the North Carolina Ban Association, while many college grad uates pad the sidewalks seeking em ployment, or while away their time in useless existence. I)raw your own moral. Revolution still is rampant m the earth. The populace have been making things so warm for the president of Chile, that he quit the .job; and there is much disorder in both Chile and Argentina. Automobile sales for the year are expected to strike the lowest mark since the industry grew up. And yet wc have been repeatedly told that the automobile is the cause of th< depression. News stories from Washington in dicate that the Democrats are fast turning to Governor Roosevelt as their candidate for president. Gov ernor Roosevelt is a man of extra ordinary ability.

We are beginning to learn a gnat many things about Henry Cabot Lodge that we did not loo.v during I his lifetime. The "scholar in poli tics,'' as he loved to !.;? called, lxv I can e a conspicuous figur,* when, i:i I 2!?lll, ho led the cabal in the '"nite I j States Senate whicii prevented our i ratification of the Peace Tr?*aty of Versailles. His personal venom against Woodrow Wilson was ap parent from the discolsures mad" b\ ex-Secretary Fall that Senator ljodge expected that the Kcpubliean Pre .ident" elected in 19-0 would make him Secretary of State, ami that he was immensely disappointed when .Mr. Harding picked Mr. Hughes for that position. "I have known "'Henry Ixxlge since boyhood and I do not believe that he ever harbored a single generous im pulse," said the late President "Eliot of Harvard to a friend not long be fore his death. Economics The man or woman who has a job and whose wages or salary has not heen ieduced since the depression ot 1929 is better off today than two years ago. In fact, a dollar will lmy more today, in almost all of the nec essaries of life and in every one of the luxuries, than at any time sincc before the war. The one exception it rents in the big cities. About four-fifths of the peoph who work for a living in the I "niter! Stat-s are still employed regularly and at. the same pay as before.' About one-fifth are out of employ- \ meiit or on part time. In Oklahoma a mob of unemploy-1 ed raided a grocery store the oiher day. In one rural county in Tuassa chusetts, where I saw the records, 99 new automobiles and f>4 new trucks were bought by farmers and village people during the month ot Jane. These economic inequalities; offer a problem which it is going' to takfc?cittom IhaiL- one of Congress to solve. Railroads One of the biggest jobs that con fronts the Capital is the rebuilding! and refinancing of the nations rail-1 road system. Practically all th't rail roads today are in bad shape fiiiaw-j eially. The success of the German ex-; periment in running air-propel led railroad cars at the rate of lit) mil's, an hour means, to engineers, that all railroad transportation methods will have to be enormously speeded up in the course of the n?xt f-sv years. , The whole railroad situation cr.lls for leadership of a kind which is not row in evidence. It Danie. Willard, President of the B. -X' O., were twenty years younger he cMild suppiy it. Somewhere in the rai'road field there must be a young man win will mine to the front in lh.- iu\t year or two and lead the railroads out j l' he wilderness. Latin A magazine in the Latin language has just .started in New York. The purpose of its publishers is to re vive and maintain interest in the study of Latin, which ;s the root lang-iage from which French, Spanish, Italian, Roumanian, and, to a very lave extent, English an* derived. A hundred yea is ago Latin was the World's international language. The educated men of every nation spoke Latin, so that a traveler could find someone with whom he could converse, Gradually French began to supplant Latiiij and 'n Europe today Fmi'h is the tongue spoken by the more cultured people of all nations. In the world of business, however, English is probably- more widely spoken than any single language, and the study of English is now compul sory in the upper grades of the com mon schools in probably three-quar ters of the nations of the world. Nevertheless, no person has a rifiht to call himself an educated inan un less he has a working knowledge of Latin, which is still the international language of scientists.

A1 Roosevelt's Popularity Increasing (Special to The Journal) Washington, D. C., July 29.?Ef torts to build up Gov. Franklin I). Roosevelt as a presidential candidate are concentrating on his physical ability to stand the strain of holding office. The most recent article about him tells how he is actually one of the most vigorous men in public life today, his only handicap being con fined <o his legs, where traces still remain of the attack of infantile paralysis that nearly killed him sev eral years ago. Mr. Roosevelt's- only si^ns of i. ness now are that he has to rest against a support while deliverir ? a speech, and that he require (lV,}Vo canes to lean upon when IV . .g about. Otherwise he is physiea1i/"!'i.. his friends say, and well able stand the hardships of the necessary campaign and the duties of the presi dency, if he is successful. Millions of words have been writ- ' ten about the strain of Wing presi dent. Both Hoover and Coolidge have thrived on the long hours and responsibility. Mr. Hoover's only concession to the office has Wen to work out half tn hour each morning with a medicine ball, under the s jH-rvision of Dr. Joel T. Boone, the White fioiise physician. It is tin first exercise he has ever taken in his life and it has' resulted in taking off twenty pounds and making him as fit as the proverbial fiddle. Mr. Coolidge bought himself an electrical horse and found that gave him enough physical activity. Presi dent Harding refused to Jake any physical exercise and bis early death is blamed more oh that " than any i thing else. * % I .. .
