How ever, we can see nothing incongruous in such procedure. "The editor of a newspaper has a peculiar public duty to perform and when he shirks that duty in any respect he is untrue to his profession. Because the editor of the Press and the president of the Franklin Board of Trade happen to be one and the same person, it docs not necessarily follow that the pres ident of the Board of Trade can es cape criticism in the columns of the Press. It is therefore proper to ask what has become of the Board of Trade. It appears to be dead. Last Febru ary at an enthusiastic meeting this body was reorganized and apparent ly started n a successful year. . But the enthusiasm soon vanjed. Men who had agreed to pay $5.00 per quar ter as dues paid only for the first quarter. 'Others paid two install ments while still a few others pale' three. Going on the theory that it is not fair to ride a good horse to death no effort was made to collect dues for the fourth quarter. Under such circumstances it is only natural perhaps, that the officers of the or ganization should become discour. aged. But discouragement is some thing that each of us should strive to overcome. As an editor we there fore feel it our duty to censure the president of the Board of Trade ftr not making more strenuous f forts to hold, together hc organkzatioa whose guidance was entrusted to him. Willi greater effort on the part of this of ficial it is quite probable that the Board of Trade would be an active organization today. J. OBSERVETTES This space is reserved for a series of observation to be given tacht week by one of our own fellow-citizens, worker in the tewn and interested reader of the Press name being; kept secret for numerous reasons. We hope you will all enjoy these brief close-ups and would appreciate any comments from the Press , readers whether they be ' good critics, sharp critics or critics otherwise. THE EDITOR. As an introductory to some of you" I would1 ""need no introduction, for you've seen me on the streets, in the business places and shops of Frank lin you have "seen my. name in the paper numerous times, and. to those who are outside the "knowing ring" perhaps you have heard of me not that I'm at all conceited no it s only because I've lived here and grown up among you and my name, if mentioned, would perhaps recall cer tain thirigs to most of you, ,not of myself, maybe, but of things connect ed with me, my family, my friends neighbors, relatives or acquaintances anyway if you didn't know me you could easily find out if I were to ex pose myself, but then, heavy colds ar.e contracted that way! I trust you who keep up with this column will' register , something- amusement, curiosity, bewilderment sometimes, or perhaps contempt, but ... ... anyway, tnink sometning it you should do such a thing and wanted to put your thoughts on paper, just write to Observettes care of . the ress and I'll appreciate it. Perhaps you 'could . help me "observe" some thing and help me along and I'd en joy reading what you have, to say.. Time to IJ'ake Action Chief Coffey recently bought a car from a citizen of Franklin. Since that ime the chief has been riding in this car, using a license plate belonging to another man and which was orig inally purchased for a car other than the one the chief bought. . Has it conic to the point where an officer s -permitted to drive a car without a Max-.Prl)cr license plate and at the same time to make arrests of those who are guilty of the same offense? Late Sunday afternoon the chief's car which was illegally on the high way and which was driven by a man said to have been drunk, ran into a car occupied by two young ladies of Franklin, one of whom was severely injured. Let us quote from a statement to the public made by Chief Coffey and published in the Press sometime ago: "I shall continue to arrest any one no matter who it my be, who, I have reasons to believe, is violating the laws of the land. In this respect all then look alike to me." The chief himself has been violating the "laws of the land." Will he arrert himself 9 Why does the chief, after making such a grandiose statement, permit a car without proper icense to be driven on the streets ! of Franklin and over the highways of the state? Again; in connection with his state- ment, we' .call attention . to the fact that the "laws of the land" are violat ed many times each day and so far as we have been able to deternrlne the chief makes little effort to enforce these . laws.j,..We .refer., here to . the speed limits established-by the laws of North Carolina. ; The mayor of Franklin, realizing that the chief s car had no proper li cense plate, suggested to the chief that he take his car tlt the streets untiltthe law, was complied with. Be-. i; cause the chief would not comply with this suggestion the lives of two of Franklin s most estimable young ladies were endangered. Only the mercy of "a kind Providence prevent-' cu loss ui mc. Where is this, thing to stop? Will hh'e people of Franklin longer coun tenance this state of affairs? HARRY STILLWELL EDWARDS In a recent letter to a friend here Hon. Harry Stillwell Edwards ex presses himselt as tonows : " I remember Franklin with a great deal of pleasure. It seemed : a pity fo bring a railroad -to &uch a lovely place. I have ne-ver seen one that impressed me more. Has it. been spoiled?, I hope not." "I am coming to, .North Carolina and shall detour to" Franklin." : '' -: , . , Macon County Children Write to Santa Claus Franklin, N. C, November 16, 1925.
