May Name
Lewis For
V. President
Washington, D. C.f Sept. 16.?The
most uncertainty in a slate-making
way that exists right nbw, is regard
ing vice presidential nominees. Lately
James Hamilton Lewis, the suave and
courtly Senator-elect from Illinois is
bulking large in the public eye. It
is no secret that the powerful
Illinois delegation will cast its 58
votes for Lewis for President on
the first ballot at the Democratic
convention, not that Illinois expects
him to become the party candidate.
It will merely be for trading pur
poses, and Lewis unquestionably
would add considerably to the
strength of the ticket, his only weak
ness being that he is not a million
aire, but an extremely modest indi
vidual in a financial way.
Geographically, Lewis is in a class
by himself. He was born in Virginia,
raised in Georgia, moved to Oregon
and served in Congress ) from that
state. Then he went to Illinois and
won election to the Senate against
the immensely popular Ruth Hanna
McCorinick, and will take his seat
for the first time in December. In
addition he is a/master of many
languages and repeatedly addresses
Polish audiences in their own lan
guage, the Germans in theirs, while
he is a great French scholar, even
among Srenehmen. He also has a
good grounding in Italian and the
Scandinavian languages, and asset of
immense value, even to a man who
has a natural gift as a spellbinder in
English.
HOOVER CONTINUES TO BE
TARGET OF REPORTERS
Washington, D. C., Sept. 16.? |
Evidence is piling up here that the;
coming session of Congress, which i
will meet in a little over two months;
from now, will produce some of the :
most vicious attacks ever made on a
President in recent times. Any stand j
Mr. Hoover sees fit to take is imme- j
diately assailed by his enemies and j
his announcement that he will veto i
any further payments to the soldiers {
onlheir bonus has led to a roar from
all those wanting to curry favor with j
the veterans.
It is considered likely that the1
soldiers' bonus will be used as the |
main weapon of attack against the!
President when Congress meets. Thej
outcry against his veto, if he should j
oppose the bill, will probably be,
louder and more bitten than that
which greeted President Wilson's at J
tempt to make the United States a
member of the League of Nations.
AU this is extremely displeasing
to Mr. Hoover, who is not a fighter!
and who has more than once expressed j
himself with much bitterness regard-!
ing newspapers which like to play'
up all news about the friction al
ways present at the seat of any na
tion, and particularly so at the cap-!
ital this year. Mr. Hoover is not a
good publicist. He ha,s never appreci
ated the angle of the Washington cor-!
respondents, who want action in their
news and not drab accounts of things.
achieved. That is the only kind of
news that the President can under
stand or that he is in sympathy with.
The constjquence is that he is more
out of touch with the sources of
news than almost any President
since the turn of the century. He is j
the exact opposite of President
Roosevelt, who was never happy un
less he was in the center of a con-'
troversy which got on the front
page of every newspaper in the na-'
tion.
Mr. Hoover's personal friends have
ofteu advised him to come out with
the plain statement of his position, j
that he is not interested in politics
as such, nor in the petty bicker? ng
that most politicians indulge in when!
they are jockeying for position. He j
has refused to issue any formal state
ments, preferring to remain the tar-,
get of abuse and leaving it to pos-l
terity to vindicate his official acts, i
Obviously this condition does not
make Mr. Hoover a good presidential
candidate and his main strength will
lie in the vast army of his appointees, j
These can be relied upon to deliver'
enough votes to insure his nomina
tion and it is the campaign that will
test his strength with the rest of the
1 country.

ROTARIANS MEET ON MITCHELL
The Sylva and Spruce Pine Ro
tary Clubs held their annual ladies'
day meeting atop of Eastern America
on the summit of Mt. Mitchell, Thurs
day at a luncheon meeting.
Some sixty Rotarians and their
wives, sweethearts, and other ladies,
from Sylva, and Spruce Pine, with
a few visitors, gathered at Big Tom
Wilson Camp, where a sumptuous
meal was served.
After the dinner, the party went
to the summit of the mountain, and
there the program was given. A num
ber of songs were sung; and Mr.
Phillips, president of the Asheville
Rotary Club delivered the principal
address. He was a delegate to the re
cent convention of Rotary interna
tional in Vienna, and his address con
sisted mostly of a discussion of the
convention and the international as
pects of Rotary. He was introduced
by Harry Buchanan of the Sylva
Club. Mr. S. W. Enloc,made an in
teresting talk about the construction
of the observation tower on Mr. Mit

direction by Col. C. J. Harris of Dills
boro and presented to the State of

STUDENTS REGI8TER TODAY
AT TEACHERS COLLEGE
Cullowhee, Sept. 10. (S|>ecial to
The Journal).?This week is one of"
the busiest in the history of Western
Carolina Teachers College. Every
building and every part of the campus
are the scenes of unusual activity. A
large number of boys and girls from
many sections of the country are'
getting their first taste of college
life. Soon former students will be
back renewing old friesdships.
The Freshman Orientation program i
for the opening of the fall term quar- j
ter began Monday evening with a
faculty-student reception at the]
Walter E. Moore Donnitory. This
program of sightseeing, tests, and
getting acquainted ended Wednesday
evening with a vesper service on the
woodland stage of the college.
Thursday is registration day for
freshmen and Friday is the day set
for the registration of former and
advanced students. Kegu lar classes
will begin on Saturday of this week.
The local college will have this
year one of the largest Freshmen
classes in its history. The increase
over last year in the number of first
year men students for the fall quar
ter has already gone far beyond the
ex]>ectatioiis of officials.
Charles Morgan of Canton, student
football coach, is already at work
with a large number of former and
prospective players. One of the best
football teams in the history of the
institution is expected to result from
their labors. Mr. Morgan has already
made enviable football records in'
other colleges of Xorth Carolina. The
other student athletic coaches arc

Alcohol
Pure alcohol is a natural element
1 in the human brain, according to a
scientist who presented proof of his
i statement before a meeting of med
: ical men in Buffalo the other day.
That is certain to be taken up by
the enemies of prohibition as an ar
gument in favor of the repeal of the
i Volstead act. Of course, it will be an
j absurd argument, but it will have
! weight with many.
? There is no question in my mind,
on the other hand, that a great deal
of the argument against drinking,
011 which the prohibition movement
gained its strength, was based 011
equally absurd allegations.
The fact is that there are no facts
about the use of alcoholic beverages
whi?-h apply equally to all people, or
to any individual person all the time.
Some day the general public will
be well enough informed to discount
the "bunk" of both sides in the pro
hibition argument.
Roads
Who is watching the road con
tractors in your town and county?
There are many line-looking concrete
roads being built which will not stand
? up under heavy traffic, especially in
regions where the frost ran upset
their foundations.
? The city of White Plains, New
York, sent an engineer out to make
borings in the pavement of a road
which cost around $100,000 a mile,
and discovered that the contractor
had put in a foundation only hall'
as deep as the contract called for..
Concrete roads , when properly
built, have proved by far the most
satisfactory so far. Bat when im
properly built they can give more
trouble and cost for repairs tTian
any other type of highway.

Ford
Improvements in the Model A are
to be followed if rumor is correct,
with a new type of Ford car in the
Spring. I know no more about it
than anyone else does, but my g;;css
is that the new Ford, when it comes
out, will be as surprising as was the
present Model A.
Henry Ford has always been a
pioneer. He was the first automobile
manufacturer to put the steering
wheel on the left, where it belongs,
and all the others had to follow suit.
He was the first to detect the flaw
is the Selden patent, on which all
the other makers paid royalti.es for
years. Ford refused to pay tribute,
fought the case to the highesFcourts,
and won a victory for the whole in
dustry. He was the first to reduce
the daily hours of labor in his fac
tory from nine to eight, the lirst
to establish a minimum wage of $5
a day for the lowliest worker, the
first to use modern alloys of strength
and lightness, and to build eng-ws
to such accuracy that no "block
test" was required. 1
Fonl can do those things because
he has no board of directors to tell
him what he can't do, 110 stockholders

Council For
Relief Meets
On Friday
Raleigh, Sept. l(i.?(tit The
Journal.)?Governor O. .Max Gardner
lias called into conference at Raleigh
on Friday, September 18, nineteen of
the leading men and' wumeii of the
State, picked lrom the industrial and
agricultural life of North Carolina,
lor the purpose of working out a pro
gram of relief for the unemployed
this fall and winter and. as a means
of assuring the needy of the state
that surplus foods will he available
and distributed where needed.
To head this work, known as the
(inventor's Council on I'neniplox
ment and Relief, (iovernor Gardner
hopes to be able to get R. W. Hen
ninger, professor at X. Slate Col
lege, Raleigh, to again head the move
inent as executive secret tiry. Mr.
lleuninger did excellent work last
winter and spring as secretary of
the same state Council. "The problem
is so acute and important that 1 have
been impelled to ask Mr. lleuninger
to again head the work," the Governor
said recently, adding that the "work
done by Mr. lleuninger and the
Council last winter and spring was
one of the greatest pieces of con
structive effort ever done by a state
agency." The work last time was
begun late; but this time active work
by the Council is expected to be
under way shortly after the meeting
on the J8th in Raleigh. The Gov
ernor expects to call for oonfafences
with other groups, from - t?t? te
time, and to ask for complete coop
eration front leaders and the general
public.
"To solve this problem, of unem
ployment and lack of food, will tax
our patriotism and our ability to
cooperate," the Governor said. "The
work last winter and spring was well
done and I am proud of the record
made at that time. I am also proud
of the keen insight shown by all
cooperating agencies and workers of
oar state, of the fine spirit shown
doue for little remunerat
1 am still even prouder
ised support for this comH
work. 1 feel certain that
months will present even more comp
licated problems, but I believe that
these problems will be solved even
more perfectly than previously. The
people of our state have stood well
a strain which unemployment arid
suffering have forced upon us. 1
firmly believe that our people will
carrv on again this fall and wintei
and that, when spring returns again
and with, we all hope, a measure of
relief front the present financial de
pression, the Old North State will
have, through cooperation and co
ordination, weathered the storm.
"We will stress 'relief this year,
rather than 'unemployment,"' Gov
ernor Gardner stated. "While the
'live-at-home program has been high
ly successful in many counties, tlien
are some sjKits where there is not
enough food. We will have to see to
it that food distribution is carried
out for the benefit of those in need,
those who did nol grow sufficient
foods and those who failed to heed
the urge, not to concentrate alone on
cotto.i and tobacco. Our problem i>
to see to it that surplus foods are
available for those in need, both in
our cities and in the country. ^c will
have to face the fact that our state
is yet 80 per cent rural and that
there is a vast need for aid n our
country districts. The city problem
is also certain to be acute.
"We must reduce salti-ring and
unemployment to the lowest possible
minimum; ami we must do this job
ourselves. It is with this necessity in
mind that this meeting of leaders
has been called
