' far ' . THE JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL PnhlLthMl Weekly By DAN TOMPKINS DAN TOMPKINS, Editor ? - ^orth^Carolina xJk /^Pg^ASSOCiAT^^ Entered as second class matter at the Post Office Sylya, N. C. "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness,' these rights are the bought heritage of all Americans They are not only a priceless heritage, they are also a ^ ^ x x_ i__ s4s>Trm iinhlomiohoW onri iin. sacred Lruslu uc hcuiucu uumi^ nnwvmtwuwi >?uu .... dimmed, to those who shall come after us. Free speech, free press, free assembly, free worship, and the right to keep and bear arms, all these are guaranteed to us in the Bill of Rights, and belong to Americans and freemen everywhere. But in Holland, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, France, Poland eveiy nation that has fallen under the iron heel oi the Nazis, has witnessed a blackout of every one oi these cardinal principles of liberty. In France today, France that has held to "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," there is no longer any freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of worship, or the right to keep and bear arms. Every Frenchman must now lay down these liberties, and work for Nazi Germany, even in the manufacture of arms and munitions with which to attempt to destroy England, who cradled our liberties, and gave us the Magna Charta and the Bill of Rights, upon penalty of death. In this country, we sometimes take these liberties as a matter of course, like we take the air we breathe. We sometimes forget that they were bought for us with blood, and toil and suffering, through the ages, as men struggled toward the light of Liberty. They are ours, and by all that is holy, they shall remain ours, amidst the crash oi worlds about us. ? WILKIE S NOMINATION It was a happy thing, that after the adoption ol a platform that was wholly inadequate and somewhat ambiguous on the foreign situation the Uenublican Party in convention asseioOicu in rmiaaeipnia, nominated Wendell Wilkie for the Presidency of the United States. For, Wilkie having already given utterance tc words that show he has a clear understanding ol the situation, and sees eye to eye with President Roosevelt and Secretary Cordell Hull on these allimportant matters, it divorces our vital foreign policy from partisan politics. This is a thing that was greatly and urgently to be desired. With Knox and Simpson in the Cabinet of President Roosevelt, and "t-ii - 11 - t-? 1? i n jj i.:_i i: iu , VYiiKie tne rtepuoncan rresiucntuu uaiiuiuarc, tui wic world is put on notice that while we are Democrats and Republicans, we are first of all Americans, and that we are a unit when it comes to the matter of defending our system of government, our rights under the Constitution, and the sacred principles of human liberty as set forth in the Declaration of Independence and incorporated in the Bill of Rights. When these things are challenged as they have not been for centuries, the world now knows that America is not a house divided against itself. By the nomination of Wilkie, the Republican Party made a distinct contribution to the welfare of the nation in this time of national and world-wide emergency. JOHNSTON VOTES THEM OUT i Johnston county, way down east of Raleigh, in the supposedly stronghold of the ABC stores, tried the liquor control business for a few years. They were established by a vote of the people, in an election that gave a large majority for the control plan. This year the people decided to hold another election. They presented the proper petition. The authorities called the election; and Johnston reversed herself, and gave a very large majority for the return to absolute prohibition " Observers generally have been of the opinion that public sentiment in this state has been running strongly toward prohibition, and that the trend in that direction continues to grow. We were talking, one day this week, with a gentleman who is unusually well informed along these lines. In fact he is recognized as one of the most astute politicians in the State. His belief is that the people of North Carolina are going to insist that liquor again be outlawed. In fact, he thinks that there is not a single county in the west that would not vote "dry," if the opportunity presented itself, and that the opinion of the people down east is gathering momentum in the same direction. He stated to us that he has been unable to see any harm that beer and wine sales have done in the largerl centers of population, where there is adequate police protection and safeguards; but, he believes that the gathering storm in the public mind against liquoi may sweep the lighter beverages from the entire State. _ ...... tHE JACKS( Wilkie, McNary Are Nominated By Republicans (Continued from Page One) . that might easily have become the principal issue in the coming . c _ campaign, he seems to be in complete accord with Presidenjt Roosevelt and Cordell Hull, thus eliminating foreign policy front being fought over by the speakers and writers as the campaign progresses. Observers generally are of the opinion that this is L most fortunate under the pres ent circumstances, as they believe that a campaign fight over foreign policies might not be for the best interests of the ' country, and might easily be I mistaken as a division in the r ranks of the American people. | But, the nomination of Wilkle is generally believed to have I eliminated our . foreign policy from the political campaign; and ' it is the opinion , of those who ( observe moving events most ' closely, that some of the domestic policies of the jNew Deal will be the bones ofrcontention 1 between the two parties. r Even there, some observers assert, there is not a great deal of room for contention, since the views of Mr. Wilkie could not be, by the widest stretch of the imagination, considered as conservative. Thus, with both parties having candidates agreed on foreign j policies, and with both parties having candidates who are pro gressive, we enter a campaign.
