IMPATIENCE . . . trouble
Most of the vVorld's troubles
come from trying to do things in too
much of a hurry. That is true in the
east} of individuals; it is particularly
true in the case of. those groups t?i
individuals which we call nations.l *
I know that about all the re:si
( run hie 1 have ever had in my life
lias come about because I was t<Ai
impatient to wait for results ' but
tried to force event 4 to happen be
fore the time was ripe for them. And
I ?ta certain that nine-tenths of tin
world's troubles today root back U
the same sort of impatience.
If it were not for impatience w.
would not see Russia today nude
the domination of a ruthless and d.-s
potic handful of Bolsheviks, lt-ah
controlled by a dictator, fJerniany uii
del" tht\ iron heel of a tyrant. Orair
that the purj>oses of all these ain'
other dictators is the noble one of
making their countries better place>
to live iu? in the future. I prefer a
system which gives the living presen^
fifst consideration.
T have seen ii?o many predict ion.
?n wrong to believe that any kind
of lar^e-scale planning for tlu? fu
ture of a whole (people can ever work
out according to plan. Kyen single
individuals responsible to nobody but
themselves,*, seldom find that their.
-v * a c \
plans for themselves will work.
REFORMERS . . . through years
I have no quitrrel with those who
would remake the world. I can think
of quite a few improvements that t
could wish we had. But I cannot
work myself up. to enthusiasm for
schemes to^ remodel .civilization
?my minor part of the hininn scene,
by any Swifter..* processes than tic
slow unes of education and evolution.
The n'&rmcr is always a fanatic.
That is not a term of- reproach. It.
means merely a person possessed of-;
? jik" idea, who is perfectly sure that
he alone is right. Practically all oil

The olfLci-'il returns, published in
this issue of The .Journal, increase;
the democratic Majorities in the coun

lished last week, so that the innjor
I ity for no democrat falls below the
1000 'mark, and the highest, that of
T. C. Bryson, candidate for repre

The additions to the totals of the

Were by reason of absentee ballots i;i
certain precincts, which had been
challenged by republican lend rru .gjjjj.

be "legal ballots, and therefore tdrVcd

than had- been retimed in the unof

T While most of the majorities wen
not as high as these of two years
*a<jo, persons who have made analys."
of' the returns state that the Repub
lican parly polled altnost exactly as
niaiiv votes in the county as it did

That the crest of the Balsam range
will be the climax of scenie wonders ,
to be traversed by the National Park
way, and Balsam Gap~ to all prac
tical purposes, the Eastern entrance
to the Great Smoky Mountains Nu
tionai Park, became a practical cer
tainty, Monday, when Secretary Har
old F. lekes, in letters to the Gov
ernors of North Carolina and Tenn
essee, announced his decision that
the Parkway shall follow the route
proposed by North Carolina, all the
way from the Shenandoah National
Park to the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park, instead of switching
off into Tennessee and entering- the
park at Gatlinburg, as was proposed
by Tennessee.
Mr. Ickes, in a lengthy and mas
terful summing up of the advantages
offered by the North Carolina route,
directed that the Parkway continuo
on down through North Carolina, en
tering the State at Fancy Gap,
thence via Roaring Gap, the upper
end of Linville Gorge, Blowing Hock,
Little Switzerland, Mt. Mitchell, t ho
Craggjesi, Pisgah, and climbing to
the top of Caney Fork Balsams, and
following them, near the Haywood
Jackson County line, to Balsam Gap,
crossing Highway No. 10 at Balsam
Gap, and thence across the Plott
Balsams to Soco Gap, and into the
Park. This is the route proposed by
North Carolina, and adopted by Sec
retary Ickes for the United States
Government. Along the Balsars in
this county, it will form a scenic sky
line parkway, that is incomparable
for majestic scenery, and that form*
a fitting entrance to the Park proper.
To say that all Western North Car
olina, and especially Jackson county,
is elated over the decision of Mr.
Ickes is to put it midly. The order
for the survey to begin is exacted ...4.
to conie within the next few days.
When that is completed, the work of
building the road, for which sixteen

It is to be remembered that th?
Plott Balsam range was originally
intended to be included in the Park,
and Balsam Gap its Eastern entrance.
The decision of Mr. Ickes in favor
of the North Carolina route, accent
uates the imperative necessity of in
cluding the Plott Balsams in tho
Park at as early a date as is possible.
With the Parkway coming down from
the Caney Fork Balsams to the Gap,
and with Highway No. 10, which is
Federal Highways 23 and 19 inter
secting the Parkway there, and with
this being the only possible point
where railway facilities can b.- pro
vided to the park by those coming to
it by rail, it is but logical that these
mountains, which have always been
intended to be a part of the, park,
should and must bu including, mak
ing Balsam Gap, in this county and
within seven miles of Waynesville,
the Eastern entrance to the Park.
The Parkway, the most scenic part of
it, will traverse the Caney Fork Bal
sams in this county for many miles,
touching the townships of Canada,
Caney Fork and Scott's Creek; and
it is intimated that a spur froni the
roaid, will probably leave the main
Parkway near Tennessee Bald, and
go across the Sonthern part of this
county, down to Warm Springs, Ga.,
and to the Everglades in Florida.
With Sylva becoming the nearest
town to the Park, with Balsam Gap,
in this county being its Eastern en
trance, and with the Balsams of this
county being the most important
scenic part of the entire Parkway,
Jackson County is most certainly to
be consrratulated "P?n the victory
that North Carolina won by Secretary
Tckes' decision.
