Yes, Congress is in session, and "leave to extend" will now be the order pf the day, so that the homefolks may read in the Congressional Record speeches that were never made on the floor. Where crooked bank officials are concerned, jHries these days are hard to convince that there is any difference between a thief and defaulter. The old crazy gag has about ceased "to function also. Witness the case of Manley, who got. ten years for breaking half a hundred banks in Georgia. ... Christmas is ' just around the corner. If yea do not believe it take a look at the shop windows in .Franklin. Shakespeare was right. Queen Marie is now sitting on the safety valve at Bucharest. We trust that two funeral directors in Franklin will not. be sufficient reason for an increase in this particular line of business. range, for the mcst appropriate gift you can make anyone who formerly lived in this section. 1 Making It Easy ITS still a fact that Christmas comes but once a y ear. Maybe that is why its so hard to think of something suitable to give. The job of picking gifts to suit everybody is a difficult one. But everybody wants to know what is going on back in the old home town. For that reason it is easy to pick a gift, and a sensible one, for a relative living in some distant locality. We suggest a year's sub scription to the Franklin Press. We will start the paper to any address you furnish,' and send along a card telling them that through your thoughtfulness they are going to get it every week during 1927. Then every week as they receive it and read it they will think of you it will be .like giving them-a new gift every week. Can you think of,-anything for so little money that will bring :. ai mudi joy? .Come in, oil send in and Sloan Bros. & Co. AFTER 23 years in one place of business, Sloan Brothers & Co. moved this week into more commodious quarters adjacent to their old store room. During i its existence this firm has earned a well deserved repu tation for honesty and square dealing. Elsewhere in this issue appears a short history of Sloan Eros. & Co. Their many friends will be interested in reading this his tory, which is a first of a series of histories of Franklin's business firms, slated to appear from time to time in the columns, of the Press. From the standpoint of news alone these histories will be intensely interesting to the . public. The Press extends congratulations to Sloan Bros. & Co., on the prospects of an increased business in their "new location. The Christmas Issue 1VTEXT week . the Press will appear with at least 20 pages of fine, reading matter and advertising: This issue will be enclosed in a colored cover featuring the Christmas spirit. Two pages are still available for advertising matter. Copy for ads must be in the hands of the printer by Monday noon of next week. Others' Comments ADVERTISING INDISPENSIBLE TiyiR. Festus J. Wade, president of the Mer cantile Trust Company of St. Louis, and one of the foremost financiers of the country, recently ' had this to say about advertising: i "When we strike at advertising, .meaning of course, efficiently applied advertising, we strike at salesmanship and the heart of business. For the banker to do anything to retard busi ness right now, is suicide. "When the merchant pulls down his shingle and waits" for business to come to him in a buyer's market, we laugh at him and call him a poor business man. "When he is forced to cut- down one of his best methods of selling because his banker considers advertising an unnecessary item, of expense and refused an otherwise deserved loan purely on that , principle, it is my humble opinion that we, should laugh at the banker and feel sorry for the merchant. "Don't mistake my meaning. It is a basic, banking principle that a loan 'must be well secured, and a firm cannot borrow merely because it is a big and successful advertiser. But the fact that it is a believer in adver tising and wants to use a portion of the money for , that purpose should .never stand in its way when it calls on the bank's credit department." - Mr. Wade could have gone further and de clared that the good banker of today is as .dependent upon advertising as the up-to-date merchant. The banker is dependent upon it for two reasons: First,, he has to use it to attract business to his bank. Secondly,-if he does his full duty by his community, he uses it to build up the community he serves by calling attention to the natural resources and business opportunities in his territory. Within the past few years Southern bankers have done a great work for the South by devoting much of their advertising appropria tions to telling the story of the riches and possibilities of the communities they represent. They thus furnished an example of the co operation that is bringing to this section more wealth and power every day. And by serving their neighbors they have created more busi ness for themselves. Asheville Citizen, HUMAN RIGHTS JUDGE SINCLAIR in charging the Grand Jury, rightly , said that some methods of enforcing the Prohibition" law are more dan gerous to human rights. 'and the underlying principles of our government than the selling of liquor. The anti-liquor law is one created by legislative enactment and may be repealed, but certain human rights exist independent of statute or even Constitution. If they, be nulli fied, inherent human rights are attacked. Free governments have recognized these rights from early times and declared them in their laws. The Magna Charta spoke them in its recital of rights, and the American Declaration of Independence asserts that all men are endowed with . "certain inalienable rights," listing "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." It said that it is "to secure these right's" that governments are instituted, and then makes the sweeping declaration that "whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends it is 'the right of the people,' to 1 alter or abolish it." Early - recognized as among inherent rights is that of the individual to be secure in his home and to travel the highways in security. It is among the chief purposes of the law to protect these rights and it " is -largely to give this protection ' that : the lw has its sheriffs, poljcemen and other, officers. The law does not-of course confuse liberty with license the individual is not Uffnriitted trv effect his rights regardless, of thef may thereby do other individual ' The individual may hot commit j then find sanctuary in his home, but so jealously doesuhe law regard his rights there that it provides that the home may not be invaded by any officer whose fancy directs him to enter. There must first be a prelimi nary adjudication and authority to invade the home given the officer. It is this privilege that makes the American home a safe refuge for the citizen and his family onoxjhe may be there he is sovereign. F And similar,) is the immunity which' attends the citizen aj he journeys from home. The law recognize;! his right to proceed without molestation, and provides punishment for those who arrest him. It even forbids its own officers to restrain or arrest him unless they have seen him commit some crime that is to say some breach of the rights of an other individual or society.' Officers who molest the citizen without such authority are acting without authority. But unfortunately, some over-zealous or tyrannical officers have invaded the rights of citizens in their homes and on the highways and violated the law by unlawful methods of enforcing it. They have invaded homes with out warrants and shot down innocent people in the roads, using the popular hatred of. liquor selling as a substitute for the only shield the law recognizes the warrant or the evidence of their own eyes. It is this prac tice which must stop. The end it seeks is a good one, but it will always be true that no matter how good an end, the use pf any means to attain it is not justified. Asheville Citizen. ' . . MOUNTAIN TOWNS AFTER INDUSTRIES TYR. Furman Angel, of . Franklin has offered his town $500 to be used in paying the expenses of a committee of citizens which will be expected to visit some of the indus trial centers of the country, . with the view of getting manufacturers interested in locating industries in Franklin. If Franklin has a few more citizens as generous and public spirited as Dr. Angel, and they will get to gether and unite their funds and efforts, they will undoubtedly be able to make Franklin a manufacturing center. This item of news from Franklin also points the way for action on the part of citizens of Hendersonville. How many men have we here who will duplicate in this city what the Franklin man is proposing to , do for his town ? Hendersonville Times. J. H. PETTY PASSES AWAY JAMES H.
