| THE JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL Published Weekly By ' ^ DAN TOMPKINS | DAN TOMPKINS, Editor ? ? Entered as second ciww umvvci at the Post Office Sylra, N. C. . < " : ~ : " Another version is that when Micheal and his angels won the war in Heaven and cast out the angels who had raised a row and started the war, he banished them to Germany. i \ Wilkie says that he didn't leave the Democratic . Party, that it left him. Maybe, he couldn't keep step and the army marched right off and left him. It reminds us of the story of War-between-the-Statesdays, of the wife who called attention of bystanders, as the company marched by, to the fact that everybody was out of step except her Jim. Speaking of taxes: The income tax in England has just been raised to 42% per cent of the total incomes. They don't let you wait and make out a return at the end of the year, either. The 42% per cent is deducted from your pay check before you get it. And A-i- Ti:i.i )_ all other taxes are proportionately iiign. m tiers devilment is proving rather costly to the whole world. It will cost us much in money over here; but the rate won't run as high as it is in Great Britain. Our congratulations to the people of Andrews and Cherokee county upon the letting of the contract for the construction of a real highway from Topton to Andrews. This road has been needed a long time; and all Western North Carolina should be rejoicing that the Commission has gotten around to doing this job. A lot of roads have been built in this district during the past few years; and the commission has been doing all that It should, as rapidly as possible. THOSE FIFTH COLUMN POLITICIANS Back in May, when the editor of this paper was a candidate for the office of Lieutenant Governor, he made a speech over the radio, in which he referred to the fact that there are democrats in the party in North Carolina and other Southern States, "who are nominally democrats for the simple reason that they , can accomplish nothing in any other party. Therefore, they join up with the Democratic rarty m the hope of furthering the interests of Big Business through that vehicle. In other words, they can't lick'em, so they jine 'em, and try to accomplish their selfish purposes from within the party. It also happens that some of them, when they move North or West or somewhere else, sooner or later go over to the opposition. All of this is provoked by the fact that Johnny Hanes, originally from down Winston-Salem way, and a mighty pleasing proponent of the vested rights of Big Business to control politics in its own interests, has come out as a supporter of Wendell L. Willkie for president. Johnny, r% w-% Vvrw /~vi 1 Y* f awviIVT A/ MA/VIV a iiiciiiuci ui uui x^ui uii. v/aiuiuia laimiy ui suca markers and bankers, has been in New York for some years. Up to the last few weeks, the whole family has been of the democratic faith. His brother, Robert N. Hanes, of Wachovia Bank fame, and a mighty good business J man, has been a Senator more than once, elected on the Democratic ticket. John W., himself was brought to Washington and served in the Treasury Department under the present Administration, as a sort of ! liasson man between the Administration and Big Business. As such he was more or less successful. He has been a democrat all his life; but Wendell Willkie, another of the small town and country boys, who like Johnny, went to the big town and made good as , an attache of Big Business, is running for President, < and Johnny has gone along with him. Both of them came from the provinces. Both were democrats. Both < are mighty pleasing fellows. There are two differences between them. Johnny was born with a silver spoon ! in his hand, doWn in the neighborhood of Forsyth, due to the business acumen of his immediate ancestors. (Sheriff Haynes of Surrv once told us that the poor and common branches of the family spell their name Haynes; while those who have become wealthy have decided that Hanes is the preferable way.) Willkie acquired his own money. Wilkie left the Democratic Party several months ago, largely because of the conflicts of interests between Commonwealth and Southern Corporation, a utility holding company, of which he is President, and the Tennessee Valley Authority, which is one of the apples of the eye of President Roosevelt. Johnny just now announced that he i will support Willkie. ! ! President Roosevelt, in speaking of Johnny Hanes' and Lewis W. Douglas' bolt to Willkie, de- ' scribed them as "two amiable young men," and added that "the general concensus in the government is that the slant of their minds rims more to dollars than to humanity. That, by the way, is what we were trying to say in that radio speech; that those whose minds are on money rather than on humanity have little ; place in the fold of the Democratic Party! * '* *t. i v-'r: 9 * .V ' ' ' ' :*-.

And, by the way, thi peoples of those countries as well as those of Germany are not allowed to hear nor read news that come: from any other part of the world, except as it i colored and dispensed to them by the Nazis. Imagim living in a country where you can read no newspaper listen to no radio program, hear no news!, except sucl as the government allows you to read or hear! Then io a mmnioto Monk-out of the news eroiner into o: id U VVUi|/ivvu ? ? coming out from those unhappy countries. More thai that, the usual means of dissemination of news fron one part of the country to another are cut off. Th< people in one city, one town, one province, don' know what is happening in the other. Every man i afraid to discuss public matters with his neighboi for fear that the neighbor may be a member of th dreaded Gestapo, the numerous secret police of Hitler Indeed, it is reported that a man is afraid to hold sue] discussions even in the bosom of his own family, fo fear that his wife, his brother, his sister, or his child may be of the Gestapo, and that he will find himsel either in a concentration camp or facing a firing squad. Nevertheless, we have had our suspicions al along that these folks are finding ways of knowin; what is happening, and of getting ready to throw of the yoke, whenever opportunity offers. Human naturi is human nature, and millions of people in thosi countries are patriotic. They love their native land and they love freedom, which has been lost to then for a while. In those countries there must be secre meetings, secret nods, secret winks, that portenc much. They must be shot through with disconten and with sabotage. The volcano, though dormant must be boiling inside. The fanatical religious faitl of the new dispensation cannot have laid hold upor all of these people. And that, and fear are the onh cohesive forces that could hold them together. They must work, they must eat, but, at the sami time, down in their hearts there must be a love foi their countries, and for the faith of their fathers Vu, it tnnn nr lata that volcano will erun UUlilCUaj ) WV> A V uvvr** w* ?? A with a mighty explosion that will blow Hitler anc his ilk from the face of the earth, just like straws be fore the irresistible force of a mignty ^torm. We read, today, about a number of French sol diers, who, still carrying their arms, had made thei way through many miles of German-occupied ter ritory of their country to Switzerland, the only oasi of liberty in the whole desert of continental Europe There was a hint, also, that many more of thes< Frenchmen are making use of an underground rail way, that has sprung into activity, and are escapini to Switzerland and to ports. From here they will g< to join hands with the British and continue the figh for the resurrection of Liberty in France. This kind of thing will continue, and it will grow despite all that Hitler and his Gestapo can do.
