Fundamentally Unfit DRESIDENT HOOVER'S eleventh-hour campaign of fear manifests an attitude .which emphatically indicates his fundamental unfitness for any high of fice of public trust in. a democratic government. Statements made by him jn recent vote-seeking speeches, statements patently designed, to stampede voters into returning him to the White House, could norr have been moreystartling than if he had said t "I am the onlv man capable of running the govern ment TVlA- illvlcrtnpnfr-rif -tln be relied upon in a crisis like 'this. Herbert Hoover is your saviour and you must re-elect him, else the government will collapse and the country won't be worth a tinker's damn." , It's a bold interpretation; but let us review the president's own utterances. Monday night in Madison Square Garden, New York, he declared that if he and the Republican party are not returned to power "the grass will grow in the streets of a hundred cities, a thousand towns; the weeds will overrun farms." If. principles of the Democratic party are put into effect, he predicted, "this will not be the America which we have known in the past."

But thank God for the self-reliance of the Amer ican people and the noble record of achievements, of the Democratic party, we need fear no such eventual ity. ' . - . ' -. The Great Difference 11... THtKt may oe some sentimental sausracuon in maintaining a par tisan political tradition, in voting, a Republican or a Democratic ticket merely because one has always been a Republican or a Democrat just as his forefathers have been . . . there may be a happy sense of family pride in such a policy, but there is little virtue in it and no exercise of judgment. r (The editor wai born a Democrat and ii a Democrat, but he likes to think that he i a Democrat beoauae of hu own inclination and hit own reasoning. He may be an inherent Democrat, but he hope and believes his politics is not merely inherited.) . Sooner or later, the sincere voter faces the question : "What is the difference between the two major parties? "A man cannot honestly express his opinions at the polls unless he knows, for . a ballot pre destined by one's father-or' grandfather is not aa opinion but. a. blind expression of sentimentality. , What is the difference? One finds a maze of evidence on each side, much of it contradictory and confusing, most of it "a lot of hooey" spat out by politicians less interested in distinguishing the real differences than in securing votes by confusing the issues and fooling or confounding the voter. The simplest definition of the attitudes and principles of the two parties has "been succinctly stated as follows: "The Democratic party puts human rights above all else, while the Republican party places the rights of property above those of the individual." Trace the records of the two parties, the records of the past and those of today; witness the statement! of their major candidates in the current campaign . . . any way you look at it, if you be honestly inquisitive, you will find that thil definition standi the acid test.

Franklin Circuit BY THE FREEMAN FAMILY IT HAS been our good pleasure to serve the, people of the Meth odist church' on the Franklin circuit a"s pastor for the past four years. These have been years of toil, hard ship, and to a small degree dis appointment ; nevertheless years of happiness and reasonable success. As a rule in our church at . the close of the fourth year, it means to pack up and move to a new field. Such may be our' lot; and lest we forget,-we take this oppor tunity to express our gratitude to not only the people of the churches on the charge but also to all the people of all churches and creeds in Macon county who by ' theii friendly cooperation have assisted us in carrying on the good work of the Lord. There have been friendships formed that, although we may be separated by space, will not be severed. , But, perchance, some will say, "Sinpe you havead these four years of opportunity", what have you done ?" In answer to that question per mit us to say, not in a haughty spirit but in a spirit of humility and a Reeling of unworthiness, that by the help of the good people and the Lord some attainments have been made which we will endeavor to mention. When we came to the charge our first effort was to study the field and in that way as certain its greatest needs. We found need of leadership training and we set ourself to that task by organizing Coke sbury training schools which the people could atr tend at night as a group and be MethodistCfiurch Notes BY REV.

LETTER-PRESS The Franklin Press and' The Highlands Maconian: - Your comment, on the editorial page' of your issue of October 27, 1932, stating the amendments to be voted on November 8,- 1932, j were indeed timely and a credit. Would it not be another opportunity for your paper to do good to again call attention to all these amend ments and print them on the front page of your last issue just before election.- - '- - - It would be decidedly interesting, and certainly different, and "greatly beneficial for a county paper to state blunt FACTS of the actual business and operation of our af- i fairs by the officials in office, not only in the county but towns, state and nation.

Then we saw that some of our people did not have an adequate building -in which to assemble for worship. With coats and gloves off, we went to work. And behold the result is we have witnessed the erection and dedication of two new modern church buildings at a total cost of $21,500., (You tfeed not tell anyone, but they are paid for). The first one was erected at Snow Hill of brick ; the second at Clark's Chapel of stone. Also we found sinners who need ed to Know Christ as 1 a personal Saviour. With the word of God in hand , we have tried to point out the way of salvation. As an evi dence of' the effect the effort has had, fifty-two have declared them selves for Christ and united with the Methodist church with others joining other churches. We have organized missionary societies and Epworth Leagues in four, of our . , ' jjfi- A. c i cnurcnes in aaauion 10 me aunuay schools which we found in opera tion in these churches.
