WITH THE MOUNTAIN EDITORS.

Western Carolina Journalism has
experienced quite a number OF
changes during the past year. This
fact was brought closer home to us
last Friday when two new editors In
the adjoining counties were in the
Hustler shop, the callers being B. F.
Copeland of the Tryon News-Bee and
C. B. Osborne Of the BreVard News.
Other changes taking place in the
personnel of the membership of the
Western North Carolina Weekly Press
association include the going of Tate
Powell from the Cherokee Scout, be-
ing succeeded by G.. o. Mercer. R. B.
ton and editor of the Waynesville
Courier, is down in Eastern Carolina.
Upon the consolidation of the Courier
and Mountaineer and the leaving Of
Wilson came Tobias Larson of Kan
sas. C.. P. Jervis of the Bryson City
Times has transferred himself to the
Old Fort Sentinel. Dan Tompkins,
formerly with the Jackson County
journal, is with the Radio company at
Camp Sewer, Greenville. E B. Gil
bert, who was with the Madison News
Record, is guarding at the German in
ternment camp at Hot Springs and Z.
Zeph Ray is now doing editorial work.
,. l.. o. Thompson has taken ver the
Shelby Highlander, which Broadus
DePriest was publishing when the
press association was organized. G.
Bush and B. F. Copeland are publish
ing the Polk County News-Bee, sue
ceeding w. F. Little, who is cashier
of the bank at Tryon. c. B. Osborne
and w. A. Band succeeded Noah M.
Hollowe11 on the Brevard News and
Hollowell returned to the French
Broad Hustler
While these numerous shifts in
weekly newspaper circles in this sec
ton do not indicate any marked pros
perity for the trade or profession, they
mean a better class OF newspapers be-
cause when a newspaper man makes
a new journalistic launch he is apt to
do his best and improve the efforts of
his predecessor when possible, hence
the coming and going of the newspa-
per boys tends to the Inauguration OF
a new order of things, resulting in
better newspapers in most instances.
AS president Of the association, the
writer will call another meeting at an
early date so the boys can talk over
business, the newspaper situation
mingle socially and learn each other
better.

the president by ringing in the cam
paign slogan, "he kept us out of war;
which doubtless did effective service
for the democratic candidate in a few
of the western states, but the colonel
~forgets the campaign cry of the east
"too proud to fight" and its effect
UPON the result in New York, New
Jersey, Indiana, Illinois and other
supposedly doubtful states. How
ever, the country knows Mr.. Roosc-
welt too we'll to give any very serious
consideration to his selfish -utterances.
He has been afflicted with a MONT
mental crouch eve since the "stigma'
of private citizen" was forced to
hover about him by the election Of the
present occupant of the white house
as president of the United States five
Years ago. The colonel can neither
forgive nor forget the president fol
this enforced humiliation. But let
him rave.
That the United States was unpre-
ipared for wal on a comprehensive
scale Is admitted, but she has accom-
jplished wonders during the few months
that preparations have been in pro-
igress. Millions upon millions OF dol
lars have been spent by the war de-
partment in the building of camps and
environments and equipping them for
occupation by the soldiers in training.
tended their construction in any man
ner whatsoever it is the duty OF on
gress to ascertain in what respect and
adopt corrective measures necessary
to safeguard the government against
the continuation Of such conditions.
Labor and materials have been high
and the cost-of constructing canton
iments has been excessive. But the
public expected this and is not gener-
ally inclined to critcfse an expense so
necessary. The one thing in this con-
nection that everybody hates is favor
itism and graft and if anything has
been done against the interest Of the
government, or any money squander-
ed recklessly, congress has a right to
know it and the public will welcome
a calm, dis~passionate investigation,
conducted in an orderly and dignifed
manner. This is no time for muck
raking," or attempts to bolster up
charges for political effect.

CASEY JONES-191S.

Casey Jones in the days of yore
Worked on the Katy and the old Lake Shore,
Did his bit on the L. and NJ
But now he's one of Uncle Sanmys men.
Said Uncle Sam, "Now we're in the war
Why, I'm the boss that you're working for,
You drove the Reading and the B. & o.,
You can do the same while / run the show"
REFRAIN.
Casey Jones, working for the nation,
Casey Jones, always cool and cam,
Casey jones' working for the nation,
Gets his running orders from his Uncle Sam.
Open the throttle and let her ROLL
You've got rush order for the countrys coal;
So we gave the job to Mr.. McAdoo.
Casey Jones will sure be glad to hear
The track is open and the block is clear;
When the freights congested he will break the jam
Now Casey Jones IS working for his Uncle Sam
REFRAIN.
Casey Jones, working for the nation,
Casey Jones, helping break the jam,
Casey Jones, working for the nation,
Does his very darndest for his Uncle Sam.
Said Casey Jones, when the country calls
1t hnds me ht and ready in my overalls;
On the Southern Pacific or the Santa Fe
Or the New York Central you can call on me-
I'll rush munitions and the beef and wheat
The things that soldiers need to fight and eat;
I'll toot the whistle and I'll ring the bell
And I'll do my bit to give the Kaiser hell"

Helping the Hun.

THE strength, the punch, the get-there-ness
Of our army depends upon its morale; its men,
tai condition is almost important as its
physical condition. Within the last few months
/ have talked with famous generals of the
old world. They all tell that disappointed,
unhappy men do not win battles"
So says Gov Arthur capper, of Kansas And
what he says has the ring of truth in 1t.
Unhappy, disappointed cannot win any
wherein peaceful pursuits in wartime occu-
patons
There is but this difference: 1t is much easier
to bring unhappiness and discomfort to a man
the battlehelds in the soldiers train
ing camp than if he were stationed elsewhere.
A mother, sister, a friend can do it, un-
consciously and without knowledge of the re-
suits. Letters of the sob" variety may bring
unhappiness to the soldiers heart especially those
teeming with fear for the beloved boys safety.
The patriotic thing to do, the thing which will
most brighten your boys days "Over There" and
which will help surprisingly in winning the war
is to write cheerful letters, gosspy letters, the
letters, which bring a smile to the eye and take
ones mind off the grimness of war, the roar of
guns and the mud of the trenches.
If one cannot write that kind Of letter it were
better to write none.
