V : I ? ... L - ? \ Official Portrait Roosefrelt {fiSmu ? * II NEW YORK . . . The oflT.cial portrait of President Roosevelt which ia to hang in the Whito House has been approved. It is shown above in. the studio of Mrs. Ellen Emmet Hfl' d, who has worked on the painting since August of 1933. This is tho portrait whish failed to be approved when it showed the President smiling. It was changed and hs# now been approved by Mrs. Roosevelt. Roosevelt Gets Even Break In War With Depression ^jftushingtou, Mil i'<'h 14. ? Summing uptne results of President' Roose velt's first year in office, the gen eral feeling here is tliui it has been ulx>ut an even l)reak between the Ad ministration and the Depression. If the Government hasn't succeeded in licking Hard Times, neither has that Big Bad Wolf got the Administra tion licked. And that, these observers point out, is all to the good, because the underlying causes of the depres sion, at home and abroad, have prettv nearly ceased to function while the Government still has plenty of wea pons left in its .arsenal. There are a lot more experiments that can lie tried. One of the most important of these, in the view of many, is that of giving the President power ,to alter the tariff schedules at will. This appeals not only to those who favor tariff reduction but to thos;* j who believe that it is a sign that | the Administration lias come around definitely to the n alization that the Depression is not a local at fair but world-wide, and thai it has its roots in international conditions. There has been a ^ood deal of un easiness over what K"emed like niov?s toward a policy of narrow nation alism in, the I'll ted States just at a time when several <?f the other na tions of the world were beginning to abandon their nationalistic policies. Some of the most vocal of the Pres ident's* advisers have been outspok"n in their advocacy of building a wall around the United States and pro ?reding to try to straighten our affairs out as if there, were no other people in the world but us. It is regarded here as a victory for the sane and well-considered analysis of our situation by Henry Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, whose rep utation for having the best informed mind in the whole Administration group is growing. ^In his widely-cir culated article, "America Must Choose," Mr. Wallace pointed out that Nationalism, pursued to its log ical conclusion, could lead only to either Fascism or ?Communism. He did not think America was ready for either. Internationalism, he agreed, has its dangers, as has any other pol icy. If America were to continue in its international relations on the prin ciple that other nations must buy our goods but we would not buy any of theirs then we owuld be laying up plenty trouble for ourselves and de stroying all the foreign markets, on which so much of our income from natural piodncts, farm products and factory products depends. Wallace's conclusion is that the Nation should follow a middle-of-the road policy, neither wholly National istic nor wholly Internationalistic. And that, his admirers say, is what Mr. Roosevelt has in mind in asking Congress for authority - to elevator reduce tariff schedules by E*ectftive order without having to submit them to revision by Congress nor Wit up on Jhe slow "studies' by the Tariff Board necessary under the existing lftW* Mr Roosevelt's friends call this the greatest display of courage he has given yet. For there is no polit ical topic which carries bo much dyn amite in itself as the tariff. More than one Administration has been wrecked on the tariff rocks. One promising candidate for the Presi dency, General Winfield Scott Han cock, who ran on the Democratic ticket against General Garfield in 1880, probably would have heen elect ed had ho not incurred the hostility of Eastern manufacturers by his per fectly truthful but politically tact less statement that "the tariff is o local issue." It is just because th<r~tariff is a local issue that it is so dangerous. It can stir up more sectional ani mosity than anything else in politics. There is nothing for which the av. crage Congressman will fight so bit terly as for tariff protection for the industries of his home district, fo* not only votes but campaign funds depend upon his record in that re spect more than M in any other par ticular. There is a pretty general agree ment among Republicans as well as Democrats that the tariff increases provided in the two tariff laws en acted by the Republicans in 1021 and 19M, ran the import duties on most of the list up to unworkable peaks, and by inciting other nations to set up defences aga'nst American ag gression in their markets, had a great deal to do with prolonging the situ ation precipitated, by the crisis of 1929. Now Mr. Koosevelt has bravely brought the tariff right up to the front of politics again. By llll the rules of logic aud economics this complicated wubjeet certainly ought to be administered by the Executive, either by the President single-handed or by a commission responsible di rectly to him, and under rules of his making, rather than responsible to Congress and its restrictions. But whether the present Coiiggfess will be able to resist the local pressure from the back home interests who don't want an equitable tariff, nor reduced tariff rates, nor anything that might conceivably benefit all the people if it is going to hurt their own pocketbooks. If Congress does grant this power to President Roosevelt it will have put into his hands the igost useful of all weapons with which to carry on the fight against pid Man De pression. And if it does not give him what he asks for it will be the first time it has denied him anything, and there, again, the majority of the mem bers of both Houses are likely to face repercussions from back home ? and there's a general election coming on next November! I Tour correspondent's best guess, therefore, is that Mr. Roosevelt will get what he asks for. ? ? v .J'** EASTERN STAR TO MEET Sylva Chapter No. 90, Order of the Eastern Star, will meet Friday night of next week, March 23, at 7:30 for the installatoin of officers for the ensuing year. All members are re quested to be present. TODAY and | TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Stockbridge) MINISTERS . . . their job I was a^ked to address a lunch eon club composed entirely of 'min isters not long ago. They wanted mo to talk about the world's cconeniic troubles and how to cure them. 1 told them that I knew of no whole sale method of salvation, either in the spiritual world or the economic world. I am an individualist, and be lieve that the world gets no better than the men and women in it. 1 know of no way of legislating hon esty and morality into the human race. I suggested to the ministers that the trouble with the world was thai we had been worshipping the Qolden Calf so long that we had forgotten the Qolden Rule, and that it might be more to the purpose if, instead of reforms in the mass, they concen trated their attention upon the ef fort to persuade individuals, one by one, to live honorable, upright and moral lives. If everybody did that there would be no need for most of our laws. . TEACHING ... a new system Hiram College is trying out a new system of teaching, which sounds to me so rational that I wonder it has never been adopted before. Instead of skipping from one subject to an other, students are given intensive study in a single subject for a long period, then another and so on. It seeing to me that a thorough mastery of one subject can be got in this way better than by a series of scattered honrs, interrupted by the need to prepare for work in other courses. And I don't see why it wouldn't work in schools far below college grade. I welcome every new educational experiment, because I believe .none of the systems evolved so far is as good as it ought to be or could be. FACTS . . . and facts Nothing is harder to get hold of in this world than facts. I heard a mian say the other day, in a pub lie address, that there are twenty million men out of employment in this country. A few hours later I heard another speaker declare that all the fanners in the United Stated were starving. I knew neither of those statements was true, but 1 don't know where or how to) get at the facts as to the number of unem ployed or the number of distressed farmers. My main reaction to such exaggerated statements is that prob ably everybody is lying about thorn. . Nothing is more misleading than bare facts, either. A fact is not enough unless one knows all the other facts that go with it Most of us know, too many facts that aren't so. By that I mean that we don't understand the relation of the facts we know to other faets that we don't know. I have long since stopped trying to draw conclusions usually from single facts. The con clusions usually turn out wrong, be cause someone comes along with a fact I didn't know. MONSTERS . . . find pew one , Proof that there are strange beasts in the sea was furnished a couple of weeks ago when a sea-monster unlike anything known to science was cast up on the shore of France. It had a head like a camel on a neck four feet long, and its 20-foot body, five feet thick, had scanty stiff hairs like those of an elephant. From many parts of the world have come reports recently of other sea monsters, variously described by all bearing resemblance to the tradition al sea-serpent. Since there has been so mueh genuine evidence of their existence, folk who have seen them are not so hesitant about telling what they have seen; they are not so like ly to be laughed at. Some scientists have put forward the suggestion that some volcanic up heaval in the ocean depths has driv en these monsters from their secret haunts and that they are looking for new homes. Others believe they have always been around in the vicinities where they now are, but that nobody would take a sailos's or a fisherman's word for them. Anyway, it's interesting to specu late about things that nobody knows anything abont. Industrial Developments Completed In East Sylva During Last Few Weeks Recent weeks have seen important industrial developments in the East Sylva 'manufacturing district. Dillsboro and Sylva Electric Light Company has just completed the con struction of a building and the in stallation of machinery for an aux iliary steam-electric plant, with two large generators, capable of gener ating 300 horse power electricity. Tho new plant is designed as an auxiliary to the company's hydro-electric plant on Tuckascigec river, at Dillsboro, and will be used for that purpose, assuring the town of Sylva, the town of Dillsboro, and the territory sur rounding them, which are all sup plied with electric power by this com pany, ample current at all times, for both domestic and industrial pur poses. The company, which is headed by Col. C. J. Harris, has expended a considerable amount of money, dur ing this year, in the construction of the building and installation of the steam and generating equipment, which has been under the direction of Mr. T. J. Moody. 'The new plant will call for the permanent employment of three additional men, it is stated. The plant is located near the Builders' Supply and Lumber Com pany property. The Builders' Supply and Lumber Company, of which Mr. J. CLaud Allison is manager, has erected a new building, and has installed a saw mill, at considerable expenditure. Mr. Allison explains that this has been in keeping with the company's new live-at-home policy. The purpose of the mill is to enable the company to buy loose logs from land owners in this territory and convert ther.i into rough lumber, whiph will in turn he dressed and prepared for the builders' use, at the mill. ThiB, Mr. Allison states, will obviate the neces sity of shipping in pine and other lumber from other sections, and will afford a market for the farm ers for their logs, thus keeping at home large sums of money that have been expended elsewhere. Mr. Alli son states that hig company has al ready bought $3,000.00 worth of Iork from farmers in this and adjoining counties, and expects to afford a steady market, as soon as the mill is in operation, which will ho within the next few days. Perry Cope and sons have installed a shuttle mill, and are buying dog wood timber from Io<*al farmers, and converting them into shuttle blocks for the textile industry in the United States and abroad. * ALLISON SEEKS REELECTION Dan Allison, Clerk of the superior court, started the political ball to rolling in this county, today, when he announced, through The Journal, his candidacy for the office of Cierk of the Superior Courtj to succeed himself. Mr. Allison's notice is tin* first avowed candidacy for any of fice that has been made this year, for the primary in June. Mr. Allison, a young Democrat, has held the office of clerk since 1930, having defeated J. T. Gribble, th'1 only Republican ever to serve in that office, In the general election that year. Mr. Allison is serving his first term - and bases his candidacy upon that fact, and upon his record in the of fice during the term. His notice of candidacy appears elsewhere in this paper. * No other announcements of candi dacy have been made; but it is antic ipated that since Mr. Allison has broken the ice and tossed his hat in the ring, that other aspirants for the vraious offices will soon follow suit. WILL ADD FOUR ROOMS TO GLENVILLE SCHOOL The Jackson County Board of Ed ucation has announced that four rooms will be added to the High school building at Qlenville, during the summer vacation. Two of the four rooms will be fur nished and put in readiness for oc cupancy at the beginning of the term ; "while the other two will be kept in reserve in anticipation for growth of the school. The building project will be fi nanced by a loan from the State Special Building Fund; and has been forced by crowded condition ot this, one of the largest aeboola in i
