Johnston Macon "Sounty loses one of its most worthy citizens, a man upon whom one could always depend to know and to do the right thing. A lawyer of the old school, he was deeply davoted to the orinciDles of sound reasoning, common justice and con stituted authority. One frequently hears the remark that "there are too many lawyers." No doubt Ihere -are, but the administration of justice . Droved if there were more Johnston. He was not merely at the bar: he held the old member of the court and as the administration of justice. For a short while he served the North Carolina Superior dent of the law and having is unfortunate that he was longer service. He would have While he was always ready to serve the public,' having done so in the capacity of mayor of Franklin and attorney both for the town and county, he did not push himself for public office. His counsel was sought, rather than ad vanced. A good and kindly neighbor, as well as a loving husband "and parent, the -whole corQiunity shares with the family a sense 01 deep loss m Mr. Johnston s death. Editorial PROVINCE OF A NEWSPAPER It would be comical, were it not somewhat pathetic, the way news paper offices are besieged every day by their friends, urging them to "roast" this and that; to "see to it" that this and that is corrected; to have this and that, done in the ity or county; or start this and that kind of movement to correct evils in he state government. These friends actually appear to believe 4at it is the newspaper's busi ess to handle all these affairs. But a self-respecting newspaper, though ready and willing to carry all reasonable responsiblty, must re mind its readers that they the people are the authority upon whom rests the responsiblty for the present state of affars, local, state and natonal. A self-respecting newspaper tries to report the news of what ac tually happens, not what it might wish had happened, The relation of a self-respecting newspaper to the general public is not always understood. It is the duty of a newspaper ot be in position to sup port any good act and criticise any bad act of public policy. . This relationship cannot exist where favors are asked and grant ed. . Honesty is the only policy for a newspaper. If the objectors don't like the way things are going, they should qualify as voters, and then raise Cain about it. FLORENCE S. C, NEWS. MR. ROCKEFELLER'S RECANTATION For more reasons than one the letter of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., declaring his own conviction that national prohibition has been failure and urging the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, carries weight and will prove ah impor tent contribution to the agitation for a change. The letter itself is remarkably well written, clear and unequivocal in its statement of Mr. Rockefeller's own position and of his reasons for taking it. The line of thought which he has pur sued happens to cdincide closely with that of many others whose general approach to the problem has been similar to his. National prohibition had, per haps its best chance of success in the beginning because of the pow erful backing which it received from many great industrialists, The Rockefellers gave it both mor al and financial support. So did numerous other business leaden, Number 24 .EDITOR AND PUBLISHER N C, as second class matter.; $1.50 $1.00 .75 .05 tributes of respect, by individuals, societies, - will be regarded as adver with the postal regulations. would be immeasurably im lawyers of the type of TV J. a representative of his client ideal that an attorney was a such it was his duty to. aid in as an emergency judge on Court bench. A thorough stu a judicious turn of mind, it not called to the bench for been a credit to his state.. Clippings In the case of the Rockefellers this was done primarily because of a deep, and sincere hatred of the evils of drink. In the case of many other industrialists there was the conviction that national pro hibition would have profoundly healthy economic effects. It was claimed that it would empty the jails and make possible the aboli tion of poverty. The course of events, ' especially during the past three years, lias been unfortunate for that argument, for the jails have not been - emptied and pros perity has vanished. National prohibition, of course. has not been responsible for its disappearance but its going has weakened one of the props' upon which' the spokesmen for national prohibition had depended. More over, it is important to note in this connection that Mr. Rockefeller is one of the few great business leaders who thus far has come through the depression with an un blemished reputation. His testi mony is stiU respected, his opinion is still Valued. This, in times like the present ,is a remarkable achieve ment, especially vhen it is recalled that a quarter of a century ago or such a , matter the Rockefellers were the most denounced industrial ists in -America. lhe younger Rockefeller has worked for and has earned the good repute which he enjoys so universally. Relatively speaking the money contributions of the Rockefellers to the cause of national prohibition had not been very great, and ap parently these contributions had not been kept up in recent years so that in this regard the stand now taken by Mr. Rockefeller is not especially significant. His let ter is important primarily because of the position which he. occupies in the industrial world and before the . American people, because he has been one of the most consis tent advocates of 'temperance, and because his letter comes at a mom ent when any weakening of the defences of national prohibition is a serious blov to those who are trying to maintain the status quo. -ASHEVILLE CITIZEN. . SMITH'S TEN POINTS Former Governor Smith's plain spoken opposition to the "ob noxious" ,v bonus legislaton, and to the passage of "more veterans" leg islaton, his advocacy of the slash ing to the ("extreme limit of un necessary appropriations and of empowering the president to con-' solidate governmental activities in the interest ot economy" urc proofs f his fine courage, When he proceeds to suggest bond issues for public improvements, or the engaging ot the federal government in varieties of works to give the people employment, he turns his back on the historic pol icy of the Democratc party. No Alexander Hamilton orany ptlier Federalist could go further in the defense of the concentration of federal power. He would have the federal government- to mother the American people,' as though they were a brood of chicks to be gathered under her wing, to be warmed and fed. That may be good doctrine, but it is antagnoistic to all Democratic doctrine. Governor! Smith is for more gov ernment. Governor Ritchie is for less gov ernment. The poles are not farther apart than they. - To save the cities,' to keep the thronging and howling miilons in them, alive, that is the, essence of Governor Smith s program. In his , Ten Points he includes none to break down -the trade bar ricrs between the countries, What we Americans want and should de mand is the restoration of- the natural right to exchange our goods, our cotton, our wheat, for the goods of all other countries with out paying .toll to New York man ufacturers. The naked truth is that the mighty American city with its crowd ed population and high costs of lying inseparable from it cannot in its present form continue unless the country people of America pay tribute to it. We suspect that Governor Smith perceives that. He is a man of extraordinary intel ligence. THE CHARLESTON (S C.) NEWS AND COURIER. MethodistChurch Notes By REV. O. P.
