BIBLE THOUGHT
Take hted unto thyself, for in so doing
this, thou shalt both save thyself, and them
that hear thee. 1 Tim. 4:16.
.1
SOMETIMES A NEWSP APER IS RIGHT
WHEN ITS WRONG
It took a human life to prove to the world
that the newspapers of the United States were
not responsible for the failure to capture the
kidnapers of the Lindbergh baby. The newspap
ers have been repeatedly scorned and blamed
for talking too much about the case and print
ing facts before the police could investigate the
facts. Sin&e Mrs. Morrow's maid told what she
knew and then committed suicide no one has
said much about the newspapers meddling into
the alfair. Not.; one word, as far as we know
was printed about Mrs. Morrow's maid. The
newspapers knew about her, and knew that she
was under suspicion and constant watch of the
police, but who ever heard of her before the
past week?
The public is too quick to draw hasty con
dlusions when they know little of the facts in
volved in the case. If The Mountaineer at
tempted to print every week some things that
we know and could print and get by with the
very foundation of Haywood county would
tremble. We are criticised for leaving out what
some people consider news but when boiled
down to the bottom it willbe found that the
so-called news will interest only a few of the
i readers of any rtewspaper. The public must
, realize that a newspaper serves thousands of
readers and that things that will interest the
' greatest number of the readers must be pub
lished,' Not many weeks ago a lady called this
i office and wanited to know if a certain social
j function had been received by this paper. Upon
being told that it had and that the paper was
! fibout ready to go to press this lady just about
' fainted, because her name was among the list
of the guests present and she claimed that it
would never do for her name to appear in the
I article. The person giving the social affair
I dpuldnft understand why it had to be left out
i and we hated to tell her point blank, so to
! smooth matters over, "we took the blame" and
j tried to hypocritically apologize for the "mis
1 take.'V. ':
Cases similar to the one above happen al-
most every day in the life of a newspaper office.
so we ask again that the public be a little
more caretul about criticising their newspaper,
when it might not be their fault that certain
-news does not reach; the press. When there
is more than one person involved in a news
Story, remember this, there is. more than one
, person to please. We make it a rule to hy to
-please the majority at all times and hurt no
' one's feelings, This is a friendly that with our
readers and not given for the benefit of any-
one in particular. Just keep on sending in news
,and if it does not appear take for granted that
Mrs. XYZ at your party told her pastor that
, .j she was feeling ill that day and could not attend
the meeting at the church and had requested
? me paper not to print the story for fear the
- pastor might check up on her. We are not say
irig anyone would do such a thing in Waynes-
vine, uuui iiiignu iiappen in auionua.
BOYS AND BIRDS
Small boys with guns find it hard to keen
.their .eyes off the birds in the neighborhood in
, .which they play. Just now when the feathery
tribe is nesting they ought to be protected, not
; slaughtered, and parents ought to see to it that
their boys appreciate a live bird in the tree
- -ather than a dead bird in the hand.
In many sections of the city residents have
rone to much pains to cultivate birds. They
have planned for them and have sought to pro-
ct them. Birds are welcoming to such home
. awns and food, and nesting places are provided.
. .i n some sectiorts Of the city some very excellent
york has been done in past years. Birds have
, Jeen protected and children have been taught
jo love and to study bird life. When) a boy
Jomes into such a neighborhood with a gun
' peeking to kill every bird in sight these same
3rd lovers are distressed.

THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER
THURSDAY, JUNP1f,
A REAL BATTLE AHEAD
During the next two weeks there will be
staged in North Carolina one of the hardest
fought political battles ever staged in the south,
anld that is the run-off between Robert R.
Reynolds, a native of these hills and a wet,
against Cameron Morrison, present United
States Senator by appointment and former
governor of North Carolina, who is said to be
an ardent dry, for the nomination for the office
Morrison now holds.
To most political observers the total vote
received by these two candidates was most sur
prising. Reynolds supporters thought he would
carry more than he did, and the Morrison
voters were somewhat surprised that "Bob"
came any where near to their favorite.
The way the situation now stands, it looks
as if there will be about four big issues entered
in the fight. First and perhaps the largest is
the prohibition question. With one wet ana
the other dry this question itself would be
enough to cause a real fight, especially in North
Carolina where the reputation of the state is
on the dry side of the question; If Reynolds
carries the state over Morrison it will look as
if the state has changed its views on the Prohi
bition question.
The second issue, as we see it, will be the
experience of each candidate. Morrison claims
forty years of service to this state in almost
every important office, including governor. This
will have some weight in the campaign, but it
is known that Reynolds will show where some
of his opponent's records are not so good, at
least he claims that.
The third issue is a poor man running
against a rich man. Morrison has plenty of
money while Reynolds is reported to have spent
about all his on the first fight. Some are inclined
to think that the wet forces from other sections
of the country will come to the rescue of the
wet candidate, and will probably match Mr.
Morrison's dollars in the coming second pri
mary. The fourth is that the character and past
reputation of each man will have much weight
in the fight, but will not hold as much in the
balance as the first issue mentioned.
The hardest thing for the present Senator
to overcome will be the McNinch vote and the
fact that he stated before tho primary that
under no circumstances would he call for a
second primary, but he did.
Anyway, taking the election from any
angle, it looks as if it will be a close race for
the two candidates that are at opposite ends of
every question envolved for the welfare of the
people. The worst part of the whole affair to
us seems that it is a shame and disgrace that
the state of North Carolina will have to spend
over $300,000 to find out just which man the
people want to represent them in Washington.
Will either do the state that much good?

American Legion Does
Not Approve Of Vets
Joining Bonus Army
List Of Items Shows
New Tax Rate Fixed
Recently By Congress
It avails nothing to pretend we don't under
stand what has prompted the "bonus army" to
march on Washington. It is not the principle
of the adjusted compensation which has riled
the thousands to this pitch of emotionalism.
The bonus question has been in the fore
front for the past seven! or eight years, and
never before have we seen a march on Wash
ington demanding it. It is not that the ex
service men think they have been mistreated
by their f ovemment. There may be rumblings
of the sort, but those rumblings could not pre
cipitate a movement of this nature.
Desperation, and desperation! alone, drive j
men into the folly of desperate deeds.
In every State, in every county, in every
hamlet, throughout the United State?, men are
out of employment. They are facing the grim
awfulness of seeing their wives and children
suffer for lack Of food. They look With in
creasing fear irito the future into the future
of a land upon which one political party pro
mised, to abolish poverty from the face of the
earth. . If the government is njbt responsible
for these distressing times, then the govem
ii ent should not have claimed credit for the
good times.
It is not the bonus which ha? driven thous
ands of men to "march" on Washington
though Heaven knows most of them mav necl
all the dollars they can get. It is the spirit of
protest. It is a desire by the destitute to place
their misfortune on the doorstep of the govern
ment itself.
This is an amazing thing, but when a gov
ernment claims credit for the sunshine it must
also assume responsibility for The rain. Now
it is raining, and the bonus question is but a
vehicle through which the disgruntled and dis
tressed are expressing their protest against the
condition. Lenoir News-Topic.

TAX (UN) CONSCIOUS AMERICA
The new taxes are going to be the last
straw which will drive countless individuals
and firms into bankruptcy. It was all right
to impose such burden's during the war, when
all hands Were employed, money was flowing
iiKe water and everybody was spending freely.
It is a totally different thing to try and make
people carry the same load in times like these.
We wonder how our leaders get the idea that
they can tax the nation back into prosperity.
But today everything is taxed even our faith
in our leaders and ourselves. The real "Who's
Who in) America" has become the names on
the delinquent tax lists. A lot of people told
the truth about their income taxes this year
without being suspected of lying. It has been
estimated that Congress can collect about $1,
200,000,000 in rtew levies. Well, we don't doubt
that they can collect the ciphers. . We beg to
refer our taxes to "Immortality" in which Ealph
Waldo Emerson warns : "If you tax too high the
revenue will yield nothing." Pathfinder.

At the regular monthly meeting
last Monday night, the local post of
the American Legion adopted the
following resolution regarding the
Bonus Army that is now invading
Washington demanding a payment of
the bonus.
The resolution is as follows :
hereas, certain Veterans of the
World War, have invaded the Capitol
of our country for the purpose of de
manding payment of their Adiusted
jSeivice Certificr.tes in cash, and;
v hereas, Veterans aie with
out means of support, transportation
or substance and are existing upon
cr.n-ity, and;
Whereas, such conduct is not only
contrary to the principles of Democ
racy upon which our country is found
ed and for which we fought; but is
communistic in fonn, principle and
practice and directly opposed to the
basic principle Upon which, payment
oi ,r.e Aciuated ...Service Certificates
is founded: .that is. the payment' of a
just and honest debt, and not charity
m any form, and;
Whereas, the action of these Veter
ans is bringing unjus,t and undeserv
ed criticism upon the Veterans' as a
wnoie; ..
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it re
solved; that we the members of Hay
wood Post, No. 47, American Legion,
while adhereing to our former declar
ations, that the AdiustPil So;
Certificate,, is an acknowledgement of
a just ana honest debt and our belief
mac tne same can be paid, immediate
'.. in tasii, wunouc injury to our
Government; we condemn any such
effort as is now being made to force
tne congress ot the United States
into paying the Veteran his just and
honest dues, and we hereby call upon
all Veterans in Haywood County to
refrain from joining in, or in any
way aiding, assisting, abetting V
countenancing any movement or or
ganizrition for that purpose.
