Alley, speaking before the Rotary Club here, and Judge J. Will Hess, Jr. speaking' before the Kiwanis Club in Hencler sonville, almost simultaneously hit upon the same idea on the same subject "Juvenile Offenders." Judge Alley told Rolarians that he was of the opinion that the old-fashioned whipping post would be much better than the juvenile court to curb crime among the younger gene ration. He pointed out that the average boy or girl who -goes wrong is practically immune to the talks which are given them for their first offenses by judges of the juvenile courts, which in most counties, are clerks of the su perior court. Judge Hess suggested that camps be set up over the state, where boys that have com mitted offenses could be assigned. It is his idea to have men with ability to inspire and train the boys in charye of the camps. No person over 21 would be sentenced to these camps, and the boys would not come in contact with hardened criminals, who often tell young sters how they can "beat the law." We feel that a combination of the ideas presented by these two capable judges of West ern North Carolina are worthy of the deepest consideration. The matter of juvenile offend ers has become a serious problem in North Carolina. The trend also indicates that the problem is growing worse, instead of better. If there be any one lone platform which a would-beyeand.idate for d:he legislature could gather in winning votes, we would suggest that it be the offering of some satisfactory solution towards reducing the number of juvenile offend ers in this state. The suggestion made by the two judges is certainly a nucleus with which legislature aspirants could begin.' THE STORY OF THE CHERRY TREE Since Saturday marks the birthday of George Washington it would not be exactly the most patriotic thing- to do to let it pass without notice. Instead of a lengthy editorial in glowing terms about "The Father of Our Country," we refer our readers to an article printed elsewhere in this paper, in negro dia lect, in which the story of cutting down the famous cherry tree is told. The lesson told in this article, supposedly told by an old negro mammy, surpasses any thing we might try to say here on the subject. We would be tempted to turn up our nose at the news that in Transylvania County, on a certain main highway, there isn't a filling sta tion for a distance of ten miles, if it were not for the fact that the statement was in The Transylvania Times, which is a truthful paper. But even at that, we fail to figure out why such a "deplorable condition" can exist. A FAST MOVING WORLD The article appearing on the front page, explaining why the airplane failed to fly at the Haywood County fair twenty-five years ago should be of interest to everyone both yoryig and old the older readers remembering the .incident, and the younger ones given an insight on the hardships, and dangers accompanying the operation of the first planes. Just 25 years ago it was necessary to bring high-test gasoline all the way from Louis ville, Kentucky to Waynesville now, even on ,the most out-of-the-way side road, stations have gasoline ten times better for sale. We might also keep this fact in mind, that more progress will be made during the next 25 years than was made in the last 25 history proves that, and those who fail to keep abreast of the times will find themselves far behind. This is a fast moving world, and it is waiting for no group or individual. BETTER PREPARED THAN EVER This week-end the finis-hing touches are being put on in the general improvement and remodeling program at The Mountaineer, which included the building of a dust-proof stock room, the addition of new equipment and general painting and cleaning up. Several changes were made in the building, which will be a time-saver in the composing room, and in the down-stairs room where the newspaper press and sterotyping equipment is used. In doing this work now, we took advan tage of the bad weather as it was impossible to do outside work. From four to six men, in cluding brick masons, electricianspainters and common labor all had a part. The extra work was done in order that bet ter service, and even better work could be rendered to our customers in less time. The new equipment which was most expensive now enables us to turn cut work that would be a credit to any town twice the size. Several changes have been made on the paper in the last two weeks, and plans are to make several more soon. One of the changes being a new style heading for the front page. In connection with the paper, the larg? newspaper press has been given a thorough overs-hauling, which we feel will give a better printed paper, and one that is easier to read. AH of this extra work has been done with one purpose "(live the community the best newspaper and printing that it is humanly possible." BEGINNING THE CHAMBER OF COM MERCE YEAR Tonight marks the first meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of .1 );. The meeting tonight is for the purpose of electing the TO directors for the coming year. Of the 10 di rectors elected, a president will be named. ' - A general discussion of plans for the com ing year, and a review of the work of the orga-, mzation of 1!)."5 will be features of tonight's' meeting. Those who are interested in the work of the organization will be present. Those who pretend to be interested, yet who fail to attend, should under no circumstances try to kick out of the traces after the program is launched, and sit back and criticise DOWN-RIGHT FOOLISH Monday noon, a freight train was stopped at Ihe Hazelwood depot, to unload freight. The train lacked two cars being clear of the cross i'lff. -. A young man, evidently in no particular hurry, crawled up between two cars, over the cuplings, to get to the other side. Within 30 seconds after he had jumped to the ground the train started to move. , Thirty seconds more and he might have been killed, or badly injured, as was a man in Marion last week who tried the same stunt. The train had a right to be where it was. The young man was in no hurry, He took his Jife in his own hands, and to say the least bare ly escaped with it. IT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT It was interesting to note from the list of firms receiving state contracts for supplies last week, that comparatively few were North Carolina firms. Whether or not North Carolina firms en tered bids for supplying the state with neces sary supplies is not known, but it seems that with as many firms in the state handling the same merchandise that is being used, that some arrangement could be made to keep business at home. Among the things we could do without are pictures of these so-called bathing beauties pos ing in abbreviated bathing suits in the snow. Only last week one was shown hugging a snow man. It is pathetic to just what some extent some people will go for publicity. rc :e old home town by STANLEY W.ATS 'AT? LASSITUDE. I DlOMT WEARY30 Pi?CCOSi' ( DIP I ?

HAS OLD COPIES OF PAPER Editor The Mountaineer: I am sending renewal for my sub scription to The Mountaineer. I have a Waynesville paper that was printed October 27, 1899, and also one in September 21, 1900, and one on March 19, 1903. I just wonder if there are any older ones in Haywood county?
