DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION TO BE HELD SATUBJmIT The Democratic County conten tion will meet in the court hqiue in Sylva on next Saturday, .Tune 11, at 2 o'clock, and a full delega tion is expected i'rotn each of xhe nineteen voting precincts o^ the county. The convention wiTl clect dele gates to the State convention, tvhich will be held in Raleigh on Thursday oi' next week, June 16, ^'nd will transact uuch otlier bus iness as may properly come before the convention. | 1 TODAY and TOMORROW 1 (By Frank Parkdr Stockbridge) Schools L wish every teacner- and every parent could read ami ponder upon the remarks ofi)r. William J. O'Shea, New York Superintendent -of Schools, who said the other day that the- ef forts of the schools must be director* toward defining what is succes* in life. \ "Too often the unthinking identify success in life with wealth, ind juilge human achievement in terms ?f material acquisitions/' he said. T have Ioiim: f?'lt that our school systems started off on a false tt;ail vhen they began to try to -teach chil Iren how to earn money. That in ?vitably results in setting up acquisi tiveness as the chief virtue, and uoney-gftting is the principal pur suit in life. Confidence Tin? other day a banker said to t*c: ?'We've got more money lo lend than we've had at any time in two years, iml T think that is true of mo*t other banks, but we are not lending t, because the people who ought to 'ie borrowing it have Ipst confidenci in themselves and their T)u?in?ie?.", T asked him to explain. He printed out that in normal time? sorintr bflnF' ?ing consist * in nuiking loaiis for pro ductive purposes. It is not sound bank ing to lend money to someone who cannot use it to make more money :n order to pay it back. ?l 'ct i f the tviHihUhc borrowers today, my banki r I'liend said, are trying to get money to save 'something that is irretrievably lost. I am inclined to think there is plenty of bank credit for every !eg itimate purpose, and that the ivii soii it is not being used wore freely is that business meii are afraid to try anything new. Be uty Three or four years, ago an artist uwved into the little* New Knglnnd village where I \ote and trtule my farm produce, lie bought the tumble down but 1 pieturessue old stone mi'l and made a studio of it. He was n pleasant, uhnssiiming fellow, who quickj^got acquainted witlr the vil lage people and won their confide""' ? and respect. The nrtist's eye was offended evciy lay by the unartistic appearance of Main Street. Thc-re are, perhaps thirty lii>ns:s and stores between the erosHioads and the bridge, ami m? two n'' their' were the same co'm* Homo of till ill looked as if they hail never be n painted at all. Quietly without advertising his purpose, the (roiitiiiucd 'in Page 2 MUCH SPECULATION OVER PLATFORMS OF POLITICAL PARTES (Special to The Journal) Washington, I). C., June 8.-lWith the political convention# getting closer and closer, the two big ques tions which everybody Is asking and nobody knows the aiutwers to are: First what is the Republican Na tional Convention going to do about/ prohibition? Second, who arc the Democrats go ing to nominate for President? The first question in important, be cause it is the only question on which anybody citn stir up any semblance of a controversy in the Republican Con vention. Mr. Hoover'# renomination definitely assured, with the likeli hood that Mr: Curtis will also be re nominated for the Vice- Preside! icy. Therefore, the only thing that it rfeetus possible to stnrt a quarrel ove: kn the convention is 'the prohibition plank in the platform. These things can be set down as definite: 'First, there will be a prohibition plank. Second, it will be a plank which will open the door for action by the next Congress looking toward a eon Ktitutional amendment superseding the Kightccnth or Prohibitoon Amend ment. ' Whether this plank will call for a j popular referendum, -or will pleilge 'the party to the submission of a new [constitutional amendment through the usual channels, for ratification by ( state Legislatures or conventions, whether it will promise a liberalism- j tion of the Volstead Act, or however it will open up the subject of pro hibition, is sti'l undeterminable. Pres ident Hoover lias been in conference with dry leaders and wet headers of all shades of opinion. Very careful political eforts will be made to avoid alienating the so-called "moderate" wys. Also, there Will be pussyfooting in the convention to avoid offending the wets. How important the prohibition question seems right now is indicated by the fact thnt many leading drys have been trying to organize a third party, and that so eminent and able a statesman as Senator Borah of Idaho has been taking part in these conferences, until Washington gossip has it that Borah may run for Pres ident on a third party ticket, if neither the Rcpuilican nor the Dem ocratic convention adopts a prohibit tion plank which is satisfactory to these dry leader*. Just the bare threat of a third party in the fi"ld sends politicians n? both of the old parties into connip tion fits. The Republicans are afraid that a third party would draw voters from its candidates, and tlu? Demo crats are equally afraid that , ft Pro hibition party with Borah Bt the bend would steal a lot of ordinarily Democratic states in the election. Senator Borah undoubtedly knows this, uiid it would be surprising if he did not use that knowledge to exert a very strong influence in the fram ing of the Republican prohibition plank. ; " ? It almost go?s without saying that the Democratic party, whose conven tion comes tw0 weeks later than the Republican, will tr^ to be a little Official Returns of Democratic Primary for County Procinctg Barker's Ore?k c ?
