THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1932 ' SUPPORT THE NEW PRESIDENT The November winds have blown the smoke away; the roar of tens of thous ands of political speeches have faded away, and for four long years the U. S. will travel along unmolested by another presidential election unless something un forseen happens. The president of the United States has been elected by the people, although he was not the choice of all, he was the choice of the majority, and now it is the patriotic duty of every citizen in this country to get behind Herbert Hoover and support him until he leaves the White House next March fourth and then to stand squarely behind Franklin D. Roose velt from then henceforth. What is a president? He is only a human being that has been selected irom the millions of people to guide them and look after their interest in governmental affairs. He is not a king. He can't make demands that have only selfish motives behind them. The president of the Unit ed States is a hired worker of yours. You help pay his salary to look after your in terest, and if you are constantly criticiz ing his work sooner or later the outcome will be unsatisfactory to all concerned. A CLEAN CAMPAIGN Few political battles h ave been fought as clean as the one which just ended Tues day. Both parties did their, best to get the most votes, naturally, but we believe it can be truthfully said of both parties that only clean wholesome tactics were used. Of course, there might have been a few individuals that tried to pull little things that were not becoming to the party of their affiliation, but this was done with out the sanction of the party under whose name most of this type of work was pull ad. : We bojieve there were more real honest-to-goodness facts and principles used in this campaign than in any cam paign in many years prior to this. There was little mud-slinging done except by a few minor politicians who were trying to crash the front pages with-their remarks, but this was hard to do. The harsh poli tician this time found it hard to get many newspapers to print anything except clean-cut facts. So after all has been said and done, the voters of this country owe to the poli ticians a bow for the cleanliness and fair ness of the recent election. May the same continue through the years, and the old mud-slinging, lambasting method be forgotten. THE FARM PAGE Haywood County farmers will find this week in this paper a page devoted to things of general interest to them. Each week the page will contain facts and in teresting articles which the publishers trust will be read. Special emphasis is being placed upon the exchange of ideas of farmers. That is one of the best ways of learning to do things better talking over problems with those who are con stantly confronted with similar ones. If you have a problem which you have solv ed to your satisfaction send it in to this paper for the benefit of your fancier friends of this county. j Cheer up. The election is over and Christmas is 38 shopping days off. AMERICA NEEDS TO SIGN ANOTH ER ARMISTICE Fourteen years have passed since the guns on the Western Front were silenced. but only two days have passed since America stopped fighting. Not with guns and implements of Warfare, but with phrases, letters, speeches of all descrip tions, radio talks, newspaper comments, and even straw votes. With these fourteen . years and two days behind us, America should now com bine all forces together and go after the only reward of peace happiness. The government can't do it alone, the states can't do it, neither the county, nor city, but the individual must work out to his or her satisfaction what really constitutes hap piness. In 1918 the general belief was that if Germany would sign the armistice, the whole world would be forever happy; but we were not. No sooner had the roar of the crowd vanished than we were engaged in another war not firing but fighting among our selves for the al mighty dollar the curse of any nation. Immediately after the war prices soared; men thought there would be no end to the prosperity era; then came the slump, and in '24 and '26 a rise, and then another slump and from then down, down, down went prices with millions being thrown out of employment, and thousands of bread lines formed to care for the hun gry. On this Armistice Day we can get a lesson from the soldiers who fought for their country during the war. Yhen they got over into foreign soil they were fighting against the odds, but they' did not give up. On and on they went until they forced Germany to sign the Armis tice Needless to say, they won the fight, because they knew they were fighting for the right, and with fear and selfishness left behind they'-went forward through the opposing line. If America today would leave fear and selfishness entirely out of this battle with the economic situation, it would take only a short time until the front lines of the depression would be shattered and again this country could add to her vic tories that of defeating one of the' worst enemies ever known to attack this coun try. The battle cannot be won with fear and selfishness predominating, however. HAYWOOD'S TOBACCO CROP The tobacco farmers of this county should be encouraged over the present tobacco crop. Indications are that prices will be about the same as last year or bet ter, and with a fair crop this year the farmer will realize more than most of them did last year when the grade was not so good. The quality of this year's crop is superior to that of last year, ac cording to Asheville tobacco men who made a trip through this county last week on an inspection tour. Tobacco is a tedious crop to handle properly, but those who understand it thoroughly and with favorable weather, usually always see a balance at the end of the season. We venture to say that before many years have passed, tobac co will be One of Western N orth Carolina's greatest money crops. ; It is feared that once the farmers begin to realize large profits from their tobacco crops oth er crops will be dropped from their list and many will plant tobacco exclusively. In that case the tobacco crop in this coun try would not be so valuable. : One of the best boosters for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is "Tours In The Great Smokies," edited by J. L. Caton, at Knoxville. Thousands of these bulletins are sent out each month to different parts of the nation telling of the wonders to be found within the park area. Even to us right at the park, there yet remains much for "us to learn about what nature has bestowed upon this sec tion of the country. It is publications like Mr. Caton's that will eventually make our dreams about the park come true. Radio authorities predict ; that the air will be cleared of static for the rest of the winter after November 8th. Anyone that has been keeping up with the election could have guessed that.

The voting began early in Waynesville and interest was tense, though the peopls were quiet all d;iy. A special wire had been provided to receive the elec tion news at the club rooms in Way nesville. Old Haywood is democratic all the time. Hugh Love's majority is biggest, 830. Felix Alley next, 790 entire ticket by over-725. North Car olina carried democratic by 50,000. Mr. David J. Kerr, the chief elec trician of the Champion Fibre Com pany, is a full fledged Irishman, hav ing left the Eemerald Isle when he was only fourteen years of age. !, has been in America since; for sometime in Canton. He is a fine type of man and a democrat ot the right stamp, He has been the manager and organ izer of the young Men s Democratic Club of Canton. Miss Eugenial Salley of Orange burg, S- C. and Misses Maud Gudger and Lilian Fletcher will be the guests of Miss Bessie Sloan next week. Misses Hazel Killian and Carrie Sue Adams spent th( week-end at Hominy, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Killian have re turned from an extended visit to rel atives in Georgia. Mrs. J. E. Johnston, who spent the summer here with her mother, Mrs. I. J. Brown, left Friday lor her home in Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Fred Howell happened to a painful accident in the Waynesville Asheville School football game last week, in sustaining injuries to his collar bone. Last Monday morning about 9 o'clock a freight train was wrecked between Willets and Addie. Seven box cars and the engine were over turned, but fortunately ;io one was hurt. Jnut .1 D'icc.'d Summer Boarder: "Have you seen anything around here worth shoot ing?" Farmer Brown: "Not until you came.'' '. If'de Choice FAVORIXG HIM Two little boys had misbehaved in school and as punishment the teacher told them they would have to stay late and that each must -write his name 100 times. . On heaving this, one ef them burst into tears. "Tain't fair!" he cned. "Ilk name is Lee and mine's Kestenbaumenstcin." PRIMA R Y LESSON . Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler said at a Columbia reception: "The college graduata has a lot to learn after graduation. "A business man asked a. college graduate: " 'What qualifications have you for this job you are applying for? ' " 'My A. B.' said the young man. " 'Well, the job will teach you the rest of the alphebet," said the mag nate." - He was a new boarder and was not u.-etl to the ways of thP -house. How ever; when prunes turned up for din ner for the third time in succession lie felt that, he was eniitlc-J to make a complaint. - "Miss jIardMk'" he said . to the andlady, "I'm Hot Very fond of prunes, Have I no chriee?" She looked him squarely in the eyes. 'Yes," she said, "you can have your choice. Either take the'ir or leave them." KNEW HIS STUFF V Wedlong: "My dear, it's no use for you to look at those hats; I haven't more than a dollar in my pocket." 3Irs. Wedlong: 'lou might have known when we came out that I'd want to buy a few Things.'' Mr. Wedlong: "I did." : .Sir. Editor: Cruel and unju.-t propaganda Much has been said through the papers and n.at'astir.ei concerning the American World War Veterans and the burden oi' taxe- on the people. False figures ha,-( lr-en usvd in order to incite the ; .,p:. and prejudice them against ,' l' Mitis ami their various organ .: liCon-; and to make it appear to the : . dniary public that they are the -aus,. of heavy tax bur lens upon the genera-i public. The heavy taxes placed upon the people are levied by the State and county, and not by the Federal government. The people who are responsible for the rotten propa ganda are the big business men who prolted most through the war and through excess profits. became wealthy, nothing was said by them about the cost of the war and the maintenance of the army when the soldiers were needed to sacrifice every thing to fight for the honor of their country's Flag, and to protect the big capitalist, who is the one that has leached the people's money, and is now trying to persuade the people that it is the disabled soldier that is the cause of heavy taxes, which is utterly false. Should the big financier sucieed in removing the burden of the disabled soldier from the Federal govern ment to the State government, then would the ordinary citizen have an extra burden of taxes. The tmall tax payer is not the one that pays the soldier bill, there are only a few in this this Haywood county who pay ineome tax to the Federal government and it is this source that the soldiers get their compensation for disabil ity, and who has more right to meet th? expense that those who are en joying large salaries. I wish to say the soldier did not leave his home and ai profitable occupation to join the army for '51.00 per day, but to fight to vindicate the honor of his county; nor did the soldier ask for compensation unless he was justly entitled, and was only granted on a sufficient evidence of his physical condition being such that he needed resistance- Among these propaganda slingers mostly against the veteran, are this? who are wanting to give to European countries twenty-two bil lion dollars which Europe owes to th( people of the United States, but insist that these foreign countries pay back the loans made by private bankers of this country. I wish someone would explain why these peo ple are move concerned over making these presentations to Europe, than they are of meeting their just obli gi'tion at home; it may be that some of these grei?t philanthropists will visit the Court of Kink James. Lon don, and receive an Honorary De gree for their kindly consideration. The war was none of our making, we went to France and finished the war for them at ai terrible cost to the American people, and now a few would-be-aristocrats in order to gain the good will of Europe would have America pay for the entire war, let France. Italy, Great Britain free from any burden of the war. Let us get back to good old. plain American Democracy. FRED A FERGUSON. Fund Being Raised For Marker To Late Mr. W. E.
