At the play given last Friday eve ning there was every indication that the girls of yesterday, whose charms captured some of the leading men of today, had lost nothing of their charm. The applause that was given the ladies who took part in the play was all sufficient to prove their grasp upon the sentiment of those who are so generally dubbed as belonging to the jazz age? which means ,if it means anything at all, that there is veiy little seriousness in today's croup. We're leaving to Miss Alma the task of telling of each one's particu lar work. We're saying here, in this column, that there is no one on the professional circuit who can come into this burg and stage a bet ter play than the women of Brevard presented last Friday evening. The Brevard News v>ns made some ene mies during the past year in this paper's stand against the community supporting those plays put on by traveling artists .using home talent for the play, and carrying away with them 30 to 75 per cent of the pro ceed*. We have maintained all along that the women of Brevard are more than qualified to stage any kind of a play that is needed to be staged in this great community. The response given the good women last Friday evening justifies all the con tuitions this paper has raised about out-Uers staking plays here. A.ul we must not confine the suc cess of the play to the women alone, as Fred Miller and his co-worker, Hinton McLeod, were there with the goods, to use a vernacular known to stagecraft. So we take the success of the program as given by Brevard peo ple as another argument in favor of our contention ? that Brevard is thoroughly qualified to put on a play any time this town needs to stage a play. INTRODUCING OUR NEW M. E. PREACHER. Rev. A. I.. Aycock preached his initial sermons at the Brevard Meth odist church last Sunday. All who heard him are well pleassd with the new pastor. His gentle manner, his ease of delivery, backed by an ap parent burning de.-ire to do nil in his power for the c.- use of the King dom, won Brevard's heart on his very first preaching day here. Mr. Aycock was lit.. used to preach and joined this conl once in 1903, havifr had his colli :? training at Rutherford College. Mis first work was :<t Lexington, North Carolina, wheiv he worked in the junior de partment for one year. His first chary was that of China Grove, where he was kept for the full four y-.v.rs allowed by the conference, 'i ?.en to badin, he was sent for a ymr :uul transferred from that place to tin- Reidsville circuit. Here he was kept another full four-years term. J.e.iksville station was the next IV-. 1 1;, and so pleased were those peo ple i -at Mr. Aycock was kept there the ?'all four-years term.

Let us give them one and all a fighting chance to grow up. JAMES L. RISK. VIEWS ON "WET" MAN .Editor The Brevard News: i I saw a statement in The Atlanta Constitution that a Mr. Johnson of Charlotte, N. C., is going to run for governor of North Carolina in 1928, on a wet ticket. II - plan to stop bootlegging and druni-.cness is to re peal the 18th Amendment and have | the government make all the liquor and sell at cost and deliver to each individual through the post office de individual through the post oices de partment by Parcel Post. Now that looks fine to make the nation sober. That is just what some folks want ? to make the gov ernment responsible for all the ? drunkeness and all the evils that [ follow drinking, and the individual | responsible for nothing. | Now if wc can get that much on ? the United States government, may b3 some wise person will think of ; some plan to make the government responsible for all the other evils of . the people, and we, as individuals, not to blame for any. What a place to live in. Well Mr. Johnson's plan would give the post office de partment something to do. , Now the surprising thing about Mr. Johnson's plan to stop bootleg ging and make the nation sober, is j the plan has been here all the time ' and wc never thought of it before. , You know we cannot jail the gov ernment for any crime and if the people are not responsible, we could do away with our criminal courts and save thousands of dollars of court costs. So all we can do is to think on tiles .- plans -until thov come along. .? . M. PATTON. Brward, R-2. Nov. 22, 1927.

Congress will be con Inted with a "program of the in I gents." In plain English, this is ? ? perennial endeavor of peTsons ; i jialistieally inclined to put the ; eminent into sonic branch of ( iness. 'he proposals for government , j lerslnp of power development at | Iscle Shoals, Boulder Dam, on the:, umbia ltiver and at other points, e been aptly described as a pro- 1 , in "of socialism by installments. j dvocates of such measures will } themselves aligned with the ialist party because the adoption , public ownership of any industry | ances the cause of socialism and ? ialistic doctrine does not square ; h the fundamentals of this gov nient which have been carried ward by the Republican and Hem atic parties, .. .. ... t will be more difficult m the next tigress than ever before to atl nce socialistic measures under lie camouflaged title, for two sons: First': the people sire bet- 1 informed on public questions and j , dcrstand that industrial stability, > , lod wages and a constructive gov- J "nment policy toward private in-,, ative and enterprise go hand in . nd ; second, private industry has . excuse to make for the manner in , iich it is conducted or for its rec- j [d of achievement. It is right out j the open and will fight political . aeks which seek to destroy ? | In the past, advocates of public | rnership have been able to throw shroud of mvstcry over their ob ;ts of attack. Today industry has moved mystery from practically erv phase of its operation. Mil ns of citizens comprise its list ot ckholders and enjoy dividends ich result from good business, or Iffe;* losses which result front d's~ rbed industrial conditions. Just the public is aware of the fact at the greatest magician does not tuallv take the rabbits out of a k hat, so it is aware of the fact at public ownership of industry ( ill not accomplish miracles which! are impossible and unknown to pri- j vate enterprise. , ' | Congress must realize that the pub lic appreciates its action along con structive lines, and that it frowns upon its actions which tend to de , moralize industrial or agricultural pursuits. The public has favored j legislation which has tended to sta bilize industrial, labor and financial i rriic'e*. It will favor legislation of i a helpful uiid constructive character) ' for farming. It realizes that pros- , peritv for agriculture and industry , are inseparable. But it will net j favor attempts to instill socialism in- 1 to either our agricultural or Indus- j trial puruits. , , I Congress will find the people be hind it if it will confine itself to advocating a business program for agriculture and industry, but it w find confusion and inharmony if it attempts to break down American traditions and ideals, by substituting | public ownership of any line of in- 1 dustry for private ownership under | suitable regulation as it exists 111 this , ' country today. SCANDALOUS STORIES ABOUT i PRESIDENTS (Statesville Landmark) , i "The President's Daughter," by . ! .Nan Britton, is a book which some | , of the critics describe as "a highly , romantic and thrilling story of a love > i affair." in which Warren G. Harding | land Nan Britton, the writer of thi I , book, were the principals. The | , "daughter" is the child born ai ^ sult of their intimacy. According to , the story, Nan Britton, a girl of 14, became "crazy" about \\ arren (i. j Harding, then a man of 45, in their I home town ? Marion, Ohio. She pur sued him until, according to the "re viewers, "she embarrassed her fam ily with her ravings," and one can i imagine that she also embarrassed 'the future President of the United i States, if the .book has ..r- founda j tion in fact. According to .h? story I (the book has not been read, this lcoiv.es from the review), an intim ' acy began and continued until Uard 1 ing became President. There 'vrc | meetings when he was on camp;. . ' I tours about the country, the girl being supported in part by the man. , who .ised his political influence to 1 get her a place with the steel cor porati'-n. Th? most intimate details are mIi.'i of the courtship of the pair, the birth of the daughter, the married life of the man. But the critics declare that it is not a sor did scandal but "the quality of the book i the revelation of mother love." the devotion of a woman to the man. Tragedy began when Hard- , ing was separated from the woman by hi-1 transfer to the White House and the climax came with his death. Appeal to his family for help for the "daughter" failed, of course. The, ex cuse for the book is not Vi venue, so far as surface indications go, but an effort to get help for the daughter. All of which may lie passed as not entitled to serious consideratior. l^l any.

When it was brought ;o his attention the old man is said .0 have told them to tell the truth ibout it. ' Whatever the truth was, if my, was never known. Hut the scandalous story was dropped after hat first campaign. The scandalous stories about l'res ?lint Wilson are yet fresh in the mhlic mind. While not published, hey were so widely circulated, with so much detail, that many Demo Tats, some here in Statesville, be ieved them and circulated them. A l>art of the story was that the first Mrs. Wilson was prevented only from separating from her husbar.d ay her death. And yet numbers of persons who took the pains to get lie facts, persons who had 110 bias for Wilson politically or otherwise, iiave testified that ^t he stories were laseless. William Allen White, of Kansas, a Republican, wrote a biog raphy of Wilson. He goes into the stories carefully and finds them .vithout foundation. Mr. While ^ays he asked a former associate of j Wilson at Princeton, one whom he knew disliked Wilson heartily be cause he had disagreed with the Wilson policies at Princeton. The man when questioned mentioned his hearty dislike of Wilson but stated with emphasis that his moral charac ter was unquestioned. A While House housekeeper, writing of the home life of many Presidents, pie lures the devotion of President Wil son to the first Mrs. Wilson as some thing that abides in her memory. All of which is to say that it is well to sidestep these stories of scandal affecting the lives of our Presidents. Not that it is impossible for an unclean man to be electcd President, but in the whole of our history we have a fine record in that respect; and realizing how men in high position are the special objects of scandal mongers, it is safe to dis credit the reports. The Harding story is mentioned only bccause it has been given publicity in the book reviews, not because of any sympa thy with it. WHY? The Outlook asked four questions which are, to say the least, interest ing and worth passing on. It may or may not be possible to answer them. At any rate we are not trying. Here they are: Why does a horse eat grass back ward and a cow forward? Why does a dog turn around three times before lying down? Why does a hop vine twine to the right and a pea vine to the left? Why noes a horse when staked out by a rope unwind the rope while a cow winds it up in kinks? **' AN INDUSTRY MORE t IMPORTANT THAN MANY THINK , (The Ashevill? Times) x Outside of Asheville, i hi' pi'U|ili* nf ? ihis section see iVfiy day tin- rcla- i lion nt' tKe lumbir industry to the j economic lift* of Western North Carolina ; in Asheville it is doubt - fu) whi'llitr the average citizen knows or considers the importance i>f this industry. , Figu res present imI at the meeting of the Western Carolina I. umber and I Timber Association Saturday evening at the Hattery l'ark Motel wil he a J source of astonishment to those who know only vaguely that timber and I ils products constitute one of the principal industries of the mountain i territory. Exclusive of their contributions to ? other businesses, these statistics show that the timber and lumber in- I dustries are placing in circulation very year nearly $20,000,000. These industries regularly employ 0,621 ' persons; the dependents of these 1 workers number over 34,000. And this $20,000,000 a year rep- ' resents new wealth brought into Western North Carolina from the sale of our woods products in other states. Strange to say, the local consumption of our lumber products is so small as to be negligible. The Times knows of nothing said about it nt this meeting, but this is a ?;ood place to say a word further to the average citizen concerning the | lumber business, timber conservation ' and some other related matters. Lumber is comparatively a cheap product and there should he a more (general understanding in this sec tion of the fact that this territory lis. rich in the finest hardwoods, spruce and hemlock, that can be found on the continent. | Western North Carolina oak, spruce and hemlock, the two latter especially, are much used in other markets for building material. But most of the spruce and hemlock mill led here finds no demand in the home ? market. I j It would seem that in many res jpects a valuable home industry is be jing neglected, an industry that could ! bo made worth much more to all ? of us. The cause of timber conservation will be helped and not harmed by a; greater use of lumber, especially at j this time anyway. For, as American Forests points out editorially, unless | "forest industries are profitable pur suits, there can be no great incen- 1 i tive to private forestry" in the pro jection of forests. I I The public can aid forest conser i vation, now and in the long run, by . I using timber products, intelligently I and economically. For, if lumber- j men and public can learn to work | together on this problem, there will I ' be a better market for the low grade [lumber and consequently less waste in the cutting and marketing of the products. | I There should be a revision of taxa tion on timber lands, so as to en- 1 courage owners of timber to bring it to maturity and market it scien iticully. As the law now stands, nany owners are forced to 1 clour Veil wooilcd areas because tliey can tot afford to pay the taxes on it tnd wait till the trees are of the hest Merchantable size.
