John B. Ensley, of Sylva, promi

and fo^ mnny years a leader in the
Republican party in Western North
by the Republicans of Jaekson county
in their convention held in
the court house ill Sylva last Satur
da> afternoon. Th'n delegation from
this county was instructed to cast
U?e voto of the county for Ensley at
the* congressional convention.
Col. Charles J. Harris, of Dillsboro,
prominent, business man and Repub
lican leader, and former Republican
Candidate for governor of North
Carolina, was endorsed as a delegate
to the Republican National conven
tion to bo held in Chicago in June.
.'uke F. Newell, of Charlotte, was
endorsed for United States senator,
to opposo the Democratic nominee for
the post now helcl by Senator Carn
oron Morrison.
John B. Enslev was elocted as
oci'r.ty chairman, aud Cyrus 11. Nich
olson secretary of the executive
committee. The coiumitt e is composed
of John Painter, Cullowhce; R. J.

ofl New York is showln - in the Dem
o<rati? primaries loads politica' ob
jtMvrs her? to the 1 elief that he
j vfill be nominated by th? Democratic
| rational Convention, if not on the
j irst ballot then on tho Heoond or
tjiird. No one else who is being talked
qf for the nomination is showing any
real strength. Shaker Garner is not
tilking personally about his Prosi
ci'ntial boom, but Wi'iom G. Mc
'^dco, fonrer Secretary of the
! Treasury, who was an unsuccessful
cftndidate for the nomination in 1924
and 1928, is actively promoting Gar
:nes, and may be able to muster
?ncugh delegates for the Texan, not
,to nominate him for the Presidency,
but possibly to make him seem the
most eligible candidate for tho Vice
Prey idency.
Of Mr. Hoover's renomination, no
body familiar with the workings of
political machinery has the slightest
doubt, although there nre irrespons
ible people who still talk about draft
ing Coolidge or nominating General
Dawes. There i& much more interest
in informal political circles, 8h the
Conventions approach, over tho He
publican Vice Preside ntial nomina
tion. Mr. Curtis will not run a^ain.l
he says. Mr. Hoovor 's credited to',
California, so his running mate will
probably be picked s:t 'east as far1
oast as the Mississippi Valley. How
ever, the Vice President will be* n
matter of compromise in the Conven
tion. and it cannot be said of any
body who is now in the political lime
light that he really wants it.

TODAY and
TOMORROW
i By Frank Parkpr Btockbridge)
Jobs
How many wage earners or salar
ied employees in this country have
stayed on one job as long as twenty
venrs. Probably more than mOni peo
pie realize, but very few equal the
record of tbiec employees of a New
York lead pencil manufacturing con
cern. One of them, the credit uinnn
ger, has wor'cod for the same com
pany for fifty-, four years, 'one of
their salesmen ho* been with then;
fifty years, and one of the factory
men fifty-five years. All three are in
good health and :>till in active ser
vice. In this same company the aver
age length uf service of the traveling
sales force is over twenty years.
Twelve suit : inen, still active, have n
total of four hundred and eight years
of hcrvice, an average of thirty-feur
years .cacb!
Examples like that helpcorreet our
idea that we are essentially a rest
less people, oonstantly jumping from
job to job. These folks who stay on
one jab continuously may not get
so much excitement out of life, but
they certainly get more solid satisfac
tion and security, and if they are
thrifty they are very likely to leave
larger estates to their heirs than any
of the job-jumpers. i
Jew:5
It is difficult for Americans to
grasp the full extent of the anti
Jew>sh prejudice which crists in
many parts of Europe. In Germany
tb;; Fascist movement led by Adolpli
Hitler haans a part of its revolu
tionary program the expulsion of all
Jew:, from Germany, and Hitler
showed enough strength at the re
cent election to cause great all nr.
among the Jewish population.
I have a Jewish friend whose daiigh
ter not long ago married a yo|u)g
Jewish bankor of Berlin. She w>ote
home the other day that her tus
band was closing up fan boshes in
itiriwin Ay WfejiiiM' r .
of
Amsterdam in Holland, and man]
the other important Jewish business
men and bankers of Germany ^ere
looking for more friendly countries
to move to.
When wo consider the position oc
cupied by Jewish merchants and
bankers in America, the honor paid
to two great Jews, Cardozo nnd
Biandeis, who are justices of our
Supreme Court, the respect in which
Jews like Edward Fileno of Boston
and the late Julius Rosonwald of
! Chicago, are bald, any such program
as Hitler's seems incomprehensible to
Uf.
Greed r
I am inclined to agr<?e with Prof.
Henry G. Russell, of ono of the Hart
ford high schools, who told the East
ern Commercial Teachers' Associa
tion the other day that the princi
pal thing the matter with our social
and economic order today is an
excess of greed. Dr. Russell warned
that young people must be taught
the dangers of avarice.
''Oct the money" without regard
to how it is got, seems to be tbc
motto of an increasingly large num
ber of young men and women. It is
this idea, fostered by "success"
stories, in print and to a; very large
extent in the movies, that is at the
bottom of .the whole system of
racketeering. Organized eriioe . is
simply organized greed.
It is still true, as Saint Paul wrote
nearly two thousand years ago, "that
the love of money ia the root of all
evil. Not money itself, but the love

Leadership '?* '
1 he type of normal human beings
whose health is always perfect and
whose nerves ar<? always calm seldom
or never develops leaders or men of
genius, according to a report of the
University of Illinois Research Lab
oratories, where scientists have been
studying human types for several
years.
It is the people who are nervous
uneasy and AU ways looking for some
thing to do who take the lead in new
business enterprises and become tho
gniuses of art and literature, this re
port suggests. Tall men are much
more likely to be of that type than
the short stocky ones. The difference
arises largely from physical causes.
Th< internal chemistry of one type
is much more variable than of the
other. And this leadership type i*
much subject to illnesses which have
their origin in nervous instability and
blood changes, than are the more
placid people.
Perhaps the quiet folks who never
do anything except follow the normal
routine of life are more contented
than the ther kind, but they don't
have half u nujeh foal
