The Administration and its sup

tin y do not regard as self-seeking
Tiny pay little attention to what
Wall Street thinks, but they do listen
when representatives of constructive

with the President's full support, to

It is probably a fair statement thai
Rep il>li> an opposition is not woiTy
inir the Ailmiuist ration any. Tn tin
nation as a whole there is nothing that
can lie called a > Republican part\

let 4,'d its leadership, vet is eallin"
for young blood to rejuvenate the
pitriv.
So far about the only effort to

the electorate next election time
>ri ins to be an. effort to see how
iIom' the Republicans can come t<
paralleling Democratic Ideas. That
creates much the same sort of a situ
ation that existed in 1896, when both
the Republicans and the Democrats
vied with each other to see how
much thev could grab off for them
selves of the platform of the vigorous
young third party, the Populists. Be
tween them they killed the. Populist
party, but its doctrines survived and
every one of them is now the law of
the land, save, only the free coinage
of silver; and that seems closer now
than at any time in nearly forty
years. -->.?<?' ?
There n?-e wise old ?observers here
in Washington who believe that the
Republican party:~has a chance in
1936 only if it coiiwa out frankly
:m!,(1 squarely on the conservative side.
The radicals have done all the talking

"lie would be tempted to. think that

'jOWER INTEREST RATES
ON LOANS TO FARMER*
E. W. Long, of Franklin, secretary
'rea surer of the FranJcl'n Proidnctio: '
Credit Association has just receive!
word from Governor W. I. Myers of
the Farm Credit Administration i'
Washington, D. C., that the interes
?ate on new loans from productioi
credit association^' has been reduce#'
from 5V2 to 5 per cent.
Accord'ng to Mr. Long the new 5
|>er cent interest rate becomes effect
ive immediately, on all new loans and
advances made by the association anil
will be applicable until further no
Hfcr ? ?
"The new interest rate of 5 pe:
cent will not affeot loans already ad
vanoved in full," Mr. (Long said.
'These will continue to bear the rate
>f interest prevailing at the time
he loan was closed.' The interest
?hargrs on loans from the association
"?.re collected when the loans mature.
The Franklin Production Credit as
sociation is now -ranking loans on.
icceptable crop and chattel secur'-tj
to farmers ini Macon. Clay. Cherokee
Graham, Swain and Jackson counties,
v; "The reduction of the interest to
per cent on new loans," Mr. Long
continued, "is made possible by a
recent sale of Federal intermediate
credit bank debentures to' investors
at an unusually low rate of interest.
The association gets ' money to liuia
farmers from the Federal in termed
iate credit bark of Columbia.
"The lowering of the interest rate
on new loans to 5 per cent is the
second reduction,' in two months, the
rate having been reduced from 6 to
5% per cent on March 16
"According to Governor Myers,
said Mr. Long, "the Federal inter
rocdiate credit bank is passing on
immediately to farmer-borrowers
from production credit associations
the saving made possible by lower
cost of getting* motley. The confidence
of investors in the security of the
intermediate credit banks has been
such that the banks are able to get
money to lend at thie lowest discount
rate in their history. Governor Myers
says that the resulting low rate ct
interest on production ereidit associa
tiom loans is enabling farmer-borrow
ers to save thousands: of dollars on
the cost of their farming operations
this year. If the associations make
sound loans, and loans that are col
lectible, an adequate supply of low
cost rronev will continue to be avail
able." ?: * .

MOLLYCODDLES . . . good word
It was President Theodore Roose
velt who gave populartiy to the goo<
old English word "Mollycoddle." B>
that he meant someone who had ev
erything done for him and was in
capable or afraid of doing or trviu
to do anything for himself. I think
looking ba?k over the preceding pai
agraphs, that I have been taking :
leaf out of Col. Roosevelt's book.
There isn't any way to conn;
them, bat it seems to me that mollj
coddfes are a great deal more nuiuer
ous now than they used to be whei
Col; Roosevelt and I were boll
young. I wonder, sometimes, whethe>
111# WfKdT U?la v IPfl" If*' Unfiled
be anything else. Keeping boys ii
school until they are sixteen, forbid
ding them to work if they are unde
eighteen, seems td me to be excell*-'"
ways of rearing mollycoddles. If :
boy hnsn't learned to fight his owi
battles against the world heforc h<
is eighteen, he hasn't much chanc
to learn later.
DEFEATISM . . . since the war
I am sometimes aghast as I lister
to young folk talking about then
being no opportuuities left. Then
seems to have grown up s; tree th
war a school of thought which I cat
only characterise as "defeatism," i
belief that the last frontier has l>ee;
conquered and there is I no mon
chance for enterprising youth to sai
isfy the spirit of adventure and th.
urge to rue by his own efforts.
Unfortunately that feeling ha
been encouraged by those in higl
place who ought to know better. 1
cannpt- help feeling that President
Roosevelt did not stop to think hi:
subject through before he promulgat
ed the notion that -this, country har
become so wnapletriy.. settled am1
explore*! that there is nothing ahea?'
foT the young except -to find a gooo
safe hole and erawl into it. And that
the government mst help them find
the holes.

There is no sash thing as seeqrrij^y.
of property, of ineome, of artptyife}'
else, for thai matter. How caa^mrc
be, when there is no security oflife
itself?
One of the present day tendencier
that makes me wonder whether there
are uafc a lot of wrong ideas in cir
culation is the idea that so manj
youngsters hare that they are en
titled, to security, to a job as soon as
tbev graduate from high school 01
eollege, to a safe place jn. which to
earn big money for little work.
I think that idea, that everybody
is entitled to security, has been fos
,tcred- by- the distribution of enorm
ous sums of pnblie money to persons
who have rendered no return for it
and who, in many instances, could
have god by, somehow, without it. 11
may take us a long time to get back
to the realization that unearned se
curity is the brand of the paupp*.

Judge Felix E. Alley, resident?
judge of this juddeial district, issued
a proclamation of outlawry against
Wes Bryson, Cashier's V alley man,
who is alleged to have fired upon K.
E. Bumgarner, and his father-in-law,
T. A. Dillard, prominent Cashier's
citizen, and former chairman of tb'J
Board of County Commissioners, as
they were walking down the road in
Cashiers, Saturday morning, last. Mr.'.
Dillard was struck in the leg, and
was given surgical treatment. He is
recovering ait his Cashiers home. j
Jackson county officers have been
searching for Bryson since the inci
dent, Saturday and have been unable
to apprehend him. Bryson is a son
of Bob Bryson, and a brother of
Frank Bryson, who was shot and
killed by K. E. Bumgarner, a nephew
of Judge Alley, in Cashiers, last
January 3. Bumgarner was triedl at
the February term of court of Jack
son county on a charge of murder,
He entered a plea of self defense,
and was acquitted by the jury
Bumgarner made the affidavit up
on the basis of which Judge Alley
issued his proclamation of outlawry
against Wes Bryson.
The affidavit alleged that Wes
Bryson, alias Dick Bryson, made a
secret assault upon Mr. Bumtgflaraer
and, Mr. Dillard, and that he has both
publicly and privately, in recent
weeks, made repeated threats that he
purposes to kill Kay Bumgarner, T.
A. Dillard, H. A. Pell, H. A. Pell,
Jr., Thad Cloer, Eb Bumgarner, War
ren Alexander, Chris Passmore and
Weaver Swayngum. All the men
namde in the proclamation, as being
the objects of Bryson's threats, were
interested in the trial of Bumgarner,
either as witnesses or otherwise, in
the superior court at Sylva, last
February; and all of them, except
Mr. Swayngum, live in Cashiers
Valley.
- ffry' TfrtfrrtMHfttion J rails opart Bry
son to surrender himself to th??
Sheriff of Jackson; county, command*
the sheriff to take such power as is
necessary to apprehend Bryson, and
warns Bryson that if he fails to im
mediately surrender himself that any
citizen of the Slate may capture, him
and bring him to justice, and m ca*o
of flight or resistance, after bewtr
called upon to surrender, may slav
him without accusation or impeach
ment of any crime.
Judge Alley ordered that copies of .
the proclamation be j>osted at the
door of the Jackson county court
house, in Sylva, at Glenville and nt
Cashier's Valley, and that a copy bo
published in The Journal.
The proclamation states that it has <
been made to appear to the eonrt that
Bryson is a furtive from justice,
concealing himself in the fastnesses j
of mountains and forest in upper ?
Jackson county, or elsewhere, and
evading arrest, and that the usual
processes of law cannot be served
upon him.
