IMPORTANCE OF CLUB BANQUET,

The Jews story of the Greater Hen
Jacksonville club banquet should appeal
to the public pride of the citizens of
Hendersonville with sufficient force to.
prompt an instant response:
AS will be seen by the program,
matters of vital interest to Henderson
vile and community will be discussed
and the people should not lose this on
portunity to be present and lend their
presence and voices in an undertaking
of such vast Importance.
The Greater HendersonvifIe club haA
wrought well, but not so we'll as it
could have done had it received the
more liberal and deserved support Of
the people.
HendersonviIlc without a commercial
organization would be a city ~voluntari-
ly retiring from business competition
with energetic and virile communities
seeking the same business that We are
bidding for. It is the duty Of business
men, property-holders, hotel and board
ing house keepers. and professions
men to heartily enter into the work of
this organization.
A healthy, vigorous, literally main
tanned club of commerce is absolutely
indispensable to the progress and pros
perity of Hendersonville and it is to bo
hoped that many who have never par
tictpated-in this work OF . public ma
ture will arrange to attend the install
lation" banquet and begin the new
year with a purpose that in destined to
greatly benefit the community.

SEES PROSPERITY AT LAST.

Chief among the many things for
which Hendersonville should have felt
especially thankful on Thanksgiving
was the Thanksgiving number of the

MIR. BRYAN AND THE PHILIPPINES

Not content with giving advice about
other matters of public concern, Mr..
William Jennings Bryan is now de-
handing that the new Congress "tak
up at once and pass" a measure pro-
Viding for the independence of the
Philippines, the Bryan-Jones bill hav-
ing failed of passage in the. last Con-
gress because the Senate did not a
it, so they say"
MI. Bryan's idea embraces the with
drawal of "old glory" and the hosting
of the Filipino flag over those islands,
with notice to the world not to inter
fere with the native government. And
this at a time when all Europe is arm
Ell to the teeth and mad with the taste
OF blood.
AT the same time Mr.. Bryan is Wig
orously opposing the preparedness
policy of our Democratic president
which would place the United States

in which we shall remain indefinitely
if the preparedness proposition is de-

ing advice but, like we other mortsls,
he makes grievous plumbers once in a
while.

CLOTURE IN

AT the session of Congress soon to
convene, there are three questions NJ
paramount Importance which will claim
the best efforts of the lawmakers
preparedness for the protection of this
country (not preparedness for war but
for defense, as the President empha-
sizes his position; revenue for the
support of the government, including
the enormous increase in revenue that
must be provided to meet the neces,
.sary expenses of carrying out the pre-
paredness" program; the building of a.
merchant marine in the interests of en-
Iarging our foreign trade.
Both parties in Congress are divided
or each OF these issues, the division
among Democrats being apparently
greater than among Republicans. Some
r. ominent Den ocrats are-opposed to

BREAKING PAINFUL SILENCE.

The long, uninterrupted and painted
silence that has characterized the
Times in regard to the farm demon

at last broken but not explained in the

oHECKNe school EPIDEMICs.

Z-A -@&E
The information from Health omcer
Crawford that the recent threatening
diphtheria epidemic is under control
should come as good news to Henders
sonville people in that the course taken
by the authorities proved practical anu
that fear of sickness has been dis
PEELED.
The school and city authorities were
facing quite problem when the spread
of the disease was in its most threaten
ening stages and there was difficulty
In determining with unanimity the
proper course to take. While some
favored closing the schools, moving
picture houses and other places where
the children collected, Prof. Briggs
centended for the daily examination OF
school children. Coming along almost
simultaneously with this decision was
the announcement in the health bu1le-
tin of the State that a school should
never close for an epidemic but that
daily examination should be madea as
was done in Hendersonville. 1t was
in a way a compliment to the initiative
taken in the Hendersonville situation
despite criticism to the contrary, and
no doubt that course has established a
good precedent that should be followed
in He~ndersonville, for the people can
now see the good judgment shown in
the matter.

WHEN KITCHIN AND CLARK CROSS
SWORDS.

Probably the most interesting. not t.
say exciting, debate to be pulled off in
the coming Congress will materialize
when Speaker Champ Clark and Con-
gresham Claude Kitchin cross swords
ON the floor of the house over the
Presidents policy of preparedness"
1t will be a verbal duel well worth the
while of the spectators who are likely
to pack the galleries and Hobbies to the
very doors.
These two Democrats are regarded
as the most eloquent members of the
House, and, in fact. of a long list OF
previous Congresses for that matter.
They are the pick of their party for
deep sea" oratory and rank amongst
. the greatest debaters in the country
in or out of congress.
Because of the position he has held
Speaker Clark has not figured as large
" in the discussion, of measures before
the congress as his admirers nigh:
have desired. But now, with a presi-
dental campaign approaching, the
party needs more activity of it's strong
est men in the House and the Speaker
lis easily the-bfggest one ofthe banquet.
The suggestion coming from Wash
ington that Mr.. Clark will appear Of
tentimes on the floor of the House in
debate during the present session is
welcome news. It has often seemed
to us a great waste of good material
to place the most attractive and efec-
tive orators in the House in the Speak
er's chair. As a member Of the House.
Mr. Clark is as much entitled to the
privileges of the floor as any other
member of that ~bodyrand when occa-
sion moves him he should take an az
tive part in the discussion of moment
Gus questions which com before that
body for consideration.
Because of President Wilson's re-
quest, Speaker Clark will take occa-
sion to present his views on the Issue
nj preparedness for the country's de-
ffense-views which coincideso largely
with those advanced by the Democrat
Ie administration. HE seorezof years

tation as a4debater and orator will
doubtless beaeyen surpassed By his
speeches this winter.
Their divergent views on the Presi
dent,t policy of preparedness make the
issue. that viii precipitate the debate
between Leader Kitchin and Speaker
Clark, which will be well worth going

BROAD PASS ORE |S AGAIN
 DISCUSSED

Among those who hay property in the Broad Pass country are Don s. Ray and w. M. Springer, the former claiming that the ore there assays from $2 to $36O per ton. Springer says he banned ore in the leads on the property worth $45 per ton. These men were recently in Seward, on their way outside.
 "The extent of the Broad Pass formation is twenty-five miles long," said Springer. "It has all been To- cated and all shows strong mineral ization. Claims from Costello creek through to the Ohio creek district show values.
 There is nochance for a man to put a mill on any of the ground now and make money, but when the rail road reaches that district it will be different matter.
 "The Guggenheims and Gasteneau people could not agree with owners on details of options. but there are others.
 When it comes to giving an option on ground of the obvious values that this ground contains for three years with no payment down, nothing do- ing. We can hold it till the rail. road is finished just as we'll as the Guggenheims. The report by Dun- kle that there. is not enough ore in sight to laod donkey shows that the Guggs in this case are either knaves or fools.
 There are practically no miners left in the Broad Pass district now, all of them having finished their as- sessment work and have come out for the winter. Their were proba- ply 100 men in the district during the summer"
