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. danoe at country club There will be a dance at the Sylva Country Club, Friday night, Oct. 2, 'Jim Ham" Abroad Senator-Elcct James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois is visiting in Ber lin.

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 chell, which was erected under his direction by Col. C. J.

' 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 Paul Buchanan of Sylva, Harry Sams of Mars Hill asd Cooper Gretter of Aberdeen, Miss. A meeting of the college faculty was held on Monday afternoon and a meeting of the Board of Trustees was held on Tuesdav afternoon. JURY DRAWN FOR OCTOBER COURT The Jackson County Jury Commis sion has drawn the juey for the Oc tober term of Superior Court. The term is designed for the trial of both civil and criminal cases; but court officials are of the opinion that the civil docket cannot be reached, and that the criminal docket cannot be completed, as it is unusually heavy, and there are some five homicide j i _ TODAY and TOMORROW ^By Frank Purker Stockbridge) 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 clamoring for dividends at the ex-; pense of the product.

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.
