' o Now, an indoor baseball game is moving in to Elkin and the place will be crowded night and day. And still no movement to bring a library in to elevate our mental and moral code. Maybe the surplus of amusement places and the absence of a library is a reflection on our tastes after all. o A philosopher says that after all It is Wall 'street and not Main Street that wins the hog call ing contest. o Human nature doesn't change. 300 y?ars ago Shakespeare worried over "the law's delay." \ 150 cases were left on the Surry criminal docket last week and the session cut short so the law yoara and court could run off to a bar meeting. o President Hoover and Secretary Mellon surely didn't know "their onions" when they as sured Bob Lovelace Judge Parker would be con firmed. • ' o The meanest dig at the President yet is the 'paragrapher who penned that the President had done the first thing since he went into office with out having to appoint a commission when he threw out the ball opening the baseball season. o A CHEERFUL NOTE . t ™ Qent iBSUe ° f the Elkin Tribune says that the payroll of the industries in that town runs from $17,000 to JIB.OOO a week. This means about *3OOO for each working day of the week It seems that some 1200 persons are em ployed in the factories of Elkin. The Tribune says that considerable building is in progress and that the outlook for the year is good. It is pleas ing to hear a cheerful note like this when so many people are talking hard times. We believe that before the year is out that conditions all over the country will be much improved. Perhaps this hard times talk has been exaggerated anv - way.—Beafort News. MAKING EVERYBODY'S JOB SAKE The weakest sort in the new economics .Which we have been evolving in America since the war was shapely discolesd whe n the financial crash of last Fall threw three milions of wage earner out of work. The principle* on which Amer ican Industry has been rebuit call for continuous employment, if the worker is to be also the prin * cipal consumer. \ As was to be 1 expected the attention of in dustrial leaders is now being focussed upon the problem! of insuring every worker's Job. That must be the next step, if we are to maintain the standards we have set for ourselves. It may sound chimercial to some, but theve are hundreds among the heads of big- industries who believe ithat ways can and will be found, at least in the major industries, to guarantee every worker a minimum yearly income, sufficient to live on com fortably, and which In ordinary prosperous times will be greatly exceeded. Governor Roosevelt of New York In March appointed a committee to consider "a long time program of Industrial stabilisation and preven tion of unemployment " In its first preliminary report this committee states that more than two hundred of the largest corporations in the United States have worked out plans for steady employ men; the year axouna. L. F. Loree president of the Dqleware ft Hud son Railroad told the National Metal Trades As soclan, the other dry how his road haß provided for cShtinouous employment and for taking carc of men who ara disabled or otherwise unable t work. Mr. Loree voiced the most Advanced phil osophy of modern industry when he said: "You can get more out of changing the/relationship i between the men and the company than out of the 1 application of new machinery and processes." [ The time may be closer fchan anybody yet dreams when such a thing ap> unemployment, ex cept of thoso who do not ♦ant to work, will be unknown in America. will be the longest, step toward the economic milienium which any; nation could take, * . Jf 1 ■ * **-"0 - '"" .11 JTJDGK I'AKKKK HUK(TKI) , , 9 frage John J. Parker, of this state, has been retried as a member of the United States Su ■Fme Court. This is the hardest blow ever de livered at the Republicans of the South, North' Carolina especially. The contest over Judge Parker's nomination o take the place of Justice Sanford on the nation's highest tribunal, was bitter beyond description, but it must be said to the eternal glory of President Hoover that he stood by the North Carolinian with all the deter mination and force that an executive is able to wield. Much has been made of the letter of Joe Dixon, kin of several Klkin people and who visit ed here last summer, in which the Under-Secre tary of Interior, enlightened the President that "it would be a master political stroke" to name 1 a North Carolian, a move which he saw would tend to swing the state to the G. O. P. ranks. The letter may have, or may have not, had a great, deal of weight, but our opinion is that many of the Southern Senators saw in it, a political-straw man in which they could hide and cry "Wolf! • Wolf!" j; Although both Senators Simmons and Over-. man voted for Judge Parker's confirmation, manyj of the Solons from South of the Mason-Dixon; line voted against him because the was a Republi-\ can and they, Democrats. It seems to us that the issues raised in the Parker case would have outweighed any political l Issues. Here was a native of the South, an able jurist, whose pronouncements on the negro ques- ( tion were theirs, wearing a Crown of Thorns' torced on the Parker brow by Northern Senators 1 who carefully weighed their negro votes in the balance, yet voted with the group which flayed' the North Carolinian because the negro was figainst him. We have no patience for the Demo rats who forgot the principle and voted against! the judge for the sinmle reason that he was n ! Republican. |' Rut the rejection of Judge Parker is laid at: he door of the Republican party because seven- 1 teen Republicans joined twenty-three Democrats' in voting to reject the North Carolina jurist. I Roth the negro an* labor or K antzatio.Jl united to thwart the Parker confirmation. Or the ( two, it Is safe to assert the negro opposition out-i weighed he labor opposition, because Judge Park-' er in his now famous "YelloW Dog" clause was 1 following the precedent of the United States Su preme Court from whose decisions there is no ap peal and whose rulings become the supreme la,w' of the land. The negroes objected to Judge Parker be cause he had s«ld in 1920 that he would rather be defeated than win by a single negro vote. In most of the Northern and Western states, the ne- Kro vote is the balance of power. There, there are as many Democrats as Republicans, but ne- Kroes vote and they vote the Republican ticket, almost to the proverbial man. Perhaps most of the Republican senators who voted against the; confirmation would at heart liked to have voted for the Charlotte jurist, but could pot, because of the Btrong and loud black vote back home. It was the voice of v their masters speaking, a voice :hey could not deny. ■ But the vote was taken and Mr. Parker was | ienied the place o nthe nation's highest tribunal 39 to 41, just two votes failing to land him 1 he coveted place. In fact, just another vote for lis favor would have tied the count and the Vice President would have cast the deciding vote in lis favor. It is probable that henceforth no Southern Re publicans may expect a highly honorable national position. The G. O. P. party in the South has un ioubtedly been given a slap in the face from n'liich it will not soon recover. A reign of the nbnoxlous sectionalism is bound to continue. o THE CALF SALE Every thinking person who attended the Guernsery calf sale at Klondike Farm Monday realized that the seeds were there sown which will, if matured, mean hundreds of dollars in the pockets of farmers in this section. That Is, if the farmers follow the advice of the state dairy ex pats who were present and the sound logic of Mr. Thurmond Chatham, they will raise herds of pure bred cattle from the foundation stock of calves at their disposal which will'lead them on the road to wealth. Mr. Chatham did all the preliminary financ ing; he sent the state's best dairy expert, Mr. Farnham to Wisconsin to buy the best calves .available in that highly developed region of pure bred stock; paid the freight as well as the pur chase price; had the calves tested to see that the stock coming into Nortlf Carolina was free from every form of disease and inferiority and brought them to the laps of the farmers of this section and sold them at cost so local dairymen and farmers could begin at the bottom and have herds equal to the best In the land. It is not every community that can boast ol so unselfish a soul as Mr. Chatham who hat shown that this section's prosperity is his highest and purest aim. Although every calf sold wat at a higher figure than was paid the Wisconsir farmer, the profit reverted back to the buyer This is the highest form of civic philanthropy. Through it all one could vision the time not »far distant when Western Carolina would be a land teeming with pure-bred cattle and Inci dentally wealthy and independent farmers and lElkJu a possible center ot pure-bred cattle rals ♦ j THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIX, WORTH CAROLINA GIVE PRIZES In the annual bird box contest sponsored by the Woman's club, the following prizes were ed by business houses in Elkin: .

BADIN THE third largest aluminum reduction plant in the world is at Badin, seven miles from Albemarle. Aluminum is a part of almost aH kinds of clay, soils and rock* and is estimated that one-twelvth of the earth's crust is composed of it. The process at Badin consists of making metallic aluminum from the semi-refined material known as alumina, which is derived from bauxite ore. In America, bauxite ore is found in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Arkansas. The alumina is extracted from the bauxite at a concentrating plant and then •hipped to reduction plants, such as at Badin, where it is put through an electro chemical process and the metallic aluminum extracted. This product is called pig aluminum. In this form it is shipped to various plants about the country where it is made into innumerable articles ranging from tubes for toothpaste to railroad tank «•" t «- The output of aluminum at Badin is approximately 133,000 pounds per day when the plant is operating at full capacity. There are about J.OOOemployees on th« plant's payroll Which Way? Albert T. Rcid his appearance in Recorder's 1 Court. ] The deceased was a graduate of North Carolina College for 1 Women, Greensboro.
