FRIDAY, JANUARY S, 1913.
The legislature is tm's week beginn
ing its semi-annual performance. Here
is hoping that it will accomplish some
real' good for the state.
o
Oih- sympathy goes to Editor Hor-
avt .-enteiie or tne Lanton UDserver.
He all cut up as a result of a mul- j
tiplicity of boils which have made life (
miserable for him these past several
weeks. i
There are too many people here who
are trying to pull in opposite direc
tions. What ve need is more pulling
together. Stop knocking the other
fellow's plan and try a little more
co-operation. - - m ;j fc.

We note with interest that in as
signing seats to the members of the
state senate Senator Paxton of this
district drew a seat on the rear row
back under the gallery with the seven
republicans in the senate ranged
alongside him. But he can be heard
just as well from there as in the
front row and we believe that the
other fifty members will soon know
that he is on the job.

next convention of the eta! press

employment of a county farm dem
on strator. This work, the expenses
of which is equally shared with the
counties by the national and state
governments, has been established in
seventy of the one hundred counties
cf the state, and it was high time
that Haywood was joining the ranks
of the progressive counties. We be
lieve that the present members of
the board of commissioners will be
longer held in grateful remembrance
by the people of the county for this
action this week than for any other
step they may take while they hold
office.
o
The meanest piece of vandalism of
which we have read in a long time was
the dynamiting of the monument to
the late Professor Elisha Miitchell on
the summit of Mount Mitchell. More
than twenty-five years ago this dis
tinguished man demonstrated to the
world that the highest peak east of the
Rocky Mountains lies in North Caro

p'orej was nameo in nis nonoi. .
few years later he Io.-,t his life while
making further exploration.-, upon
Mount M'tchell and students of the

the money to erect the monument in
memory on the .-urnmit of the peak.

HAYWOOD GOES FORWARD
We believe that no t'.vo steps have ever been taken in
Haywood county thai mean more for the prosperity of its
people than that two taken by the board of county commis
sioners at the session this week. One was the employment f
a county farm demonstrator. The other was the ordering of
bond election for East Fork township for the building of roads
At its fairs for the past ten years Haywood county farm
ers have clearly shown that the soil of this county is unsur
passed in North Carolina for diversified productivity. They
have further demonstrated thisjfact by repeatedly winning
premiums offered at the state fair at Raleigh when they were
in competition with the farmers of the other ninety-nine coun
ties of the state. T
What has been done in this way, ht.'.vever, has been by
the comparative few. There yet remain in the country many
who neither know nor follow the best methods of farming. It
is to these that help is now to be extended.
As a single instance of the importance of this work we
understand that the farm products of Iredell comity have
increased by nearly five millions of dollars since the farm dem
onstration work was inaugurated in that county. Through
the county agent, personally visiting and advising with the
man on the farm knowledge and experience gathered by the
government is brought directly home to the farm-house, and
.it is safe to predict that the work in this county M ill be emia!;..'
as successfully as it has been in others.
In ordering a bond election for East Fork township !..
commissioners nave taken the first step in what w Mlow.
will become a county movement for good roads. Hayo.-d
has lagged behind in the mud too long already. It is beir.g
outdistanced by other counties which are neither as prosper
perous or as well endowed by nature, but inhabited by yeople
who have come to realize the importance of having roads !..' .
are usable. " "
While the bond issue for East Fork has not yet been
voted we believe that there is little doubt but that the bonds,
will carry. Nearly seventy-five per cent of the voter? of -.he
township signed the petition asking the commissioners to
call the election, and that looks' like 'the people tlen ani
sAvake to their needs, Wi,th model good roads builin that
township it will be a question of but a short thruuntil the
Other townships of the county will be demanding the same '
thing. " '
Surely the new year is opening with signs ol'ood omen.
THE LEGISLATURE
In times not so far distant in the pa-tr the -'
legislature have been such that the great ma; on v
pie wished for nothing more earnestly than .,I V
ture should adjourn. Men of sound roin ,,,,,
qualities that madevtherrj leaders in their
caipe iegislators of stsch lflediocrlr that the v
bluWd to own, them as tAeir representative; . (
We believe ihkt the, present session oj t.i .. .itufe4is
going to prove of a different kind. A good beginnjjnyr was made
in the election of Representative WootepNif Lenoir county
as speaker of the house and Senator O. Max Canlner of
Cleveland county as president pro tem of tin- tate senate.
Both these men are of the forward-looking kind.. They be
lieve in these things A'hch materially affect the wll being of
the mass of the people more than in those things which
merely serve the purposes of political expediency.
Under their general leadership the legislature1 will pa
upon the proposed prohibition, suffrage, tax and primary acts,
every one of which closely affects the whole peopl, . Yoat
each of these should be passed we believe is for hv frest in
terest of the state.
If North Carolina is to remain a prohibition slate, an. I
there is no division on that point, then it is time that action
was taken to keep outside the borders of the state the li'i tor
manufactured in other states. Such a law is proposed by 'In
North Carolina Anti-Saloon League and will be strenuou.lv
pressed before the legislature. It is the only kind of a lav,
that will insure real prohibition in North Carolina. As long
as the express company carries liquor, just as long will the
blind-tiger and the drunk flourish. Prohibition to raally
prohibit must of necessity remove liquor entirely from the
reach of the people. This (he legislature can do, and this it
should do.
On the question of woman suffrage there is a great dif
ference of opinion. For the first time this bill .vill be actively
urged before the legislature, and We do not believe that this
session will give the legislation desired. We do believe, how
ever, that it should. We believe that women are capable of
exercising the right of franchise as men. We believe that
they have accomplishwl as much for the progress of the race
and the gaining of political and religious liberty as have men.
And we believe further that American revolutionists were
right when they fought against "taxation without representation,-'
and therefore women who are allowed to own property
under the 1;av should also have the privilege of a voice in how
that property should be governed and protected. The sen
timent for this granting of equal privileges is growing and
will continue to grow until the reform is obtair.ed. It would
the gracious, and wise, tiling for the legislatuie to settle the
be question right now by submitting the required constitu
tional amendment to the people.
When the bills to be introduced by Representative Rob
erts of Iluncombe and by others providing for a state-wide
legalized primary for all parties on the same day is submitted
we expect to hear the old cry raised that the western coun
ties are against, such a movement. Right here we want to
remind the people that one of the most representative gath-
-ion of the.

back home
erings of western North Carolina inople held recently, the
cong -essional convention held in Waynesville last May, vent
on record without a dissenting voice for a state-wide primary
of th;s kind. There is no doubt ng that those people did not
km'.vn n ;lat they wanted. There is no doubting that they will
not represent the sentiment of the thirteen mountain counties
comprising the district. Yet we are morally certain that
again the west will b represented in the legislature as being
against' the primary. "
As far as we can recaithi$ ejy of leaving the western
counties alone is the only reasoSlhai has been given against
the state pimary.- That is a false Ybason, falsely given, and
the legislature should listen this tiwe to the voice of the
mass of the people rather than to thev voice of a few who
selfishly misrepresent. v
The tax proposition is one that vSl call for the wisest
tiite.-manship of all. Much depends upon the me.q who will
be appointed a members of t'itwo committees having this
matter in charge. The state tax commission has given its
recommendations to the legislature after careful thought and
investigation. Those recommendations it seems to us cover
the ground and if carried out will cure some of the evils from
which the state has been suffering. The inequalities of taxes
is a subject as old as government itself, but in North Carolina
the point has been reached where something has to be done
to advert a political revolution. The legislature can really
accomplish great good, or it can merely be expedient and
postpone the final day of reckoning.
