One thing that is bound to
make an impression on every.
body who realizes it is the unan.
imous movement among t h e
mountin counties for good roads,
and for the right kind of good
roads. Every once in awhile some
stray from up in the enlightened
northern states drops into the
North Carolina mountain coun.
ties and goes back home with a
tale of woe and missionary neces-
sity concerning the mountains of
this state. This thing has been
worked so often that some who
do not know the mountains be-
lieve it. But those who know the
mountains best see in the dele
cation in Raleigh from that part
of the state the real mountains
best sentiment and type.
The biggest unit that has come
to back the roads is from the
mountains. The people up there
have more expensive roads to
build than are required down in
the coast country or the Pied
mont, but the mountain folks are
not concerned in the cost, they
they are figuring on roads, and
on roads for all their end of the
state.
tits in the mountains h a t
sheep are making headway, and
from there comes the force that
has put the dog in hook this win
ter. 1t is in the mountains that
dairying and cheese-making are
developing. The mountains are
leading in many things, and the
mountain example Of advertising
the country to the people of out
side states has been the best il
lustration of what North Carroll
ma has to offer that any part ef
the state has undertaken. The
money that Asheville has spent
for advertising has been a sub
stantial help to all of North Caro-.
lima, and probably Asheville has
brought more strangers to North
Carolina than any other section
of the state has.
The rating of the mountain
country is good in the state. 1t is
only among those who know the
mountains least that the mission
ary impression prevails. 1t is
probable that withits summerre
sorts, its religious resorts, its
farm development, it's farm Ispe
cialty work, it's road building, its
forestry work, it's water power
development and everything elst
/ that goes to make a country desi
: rable to live in. the mountain
country of North Carolina is kee
, ping as well in the front of tn,
!, procession as any other part O.
3 the whole United States.
1t is a good thing the mountain
delegation has taken up the roat
proposition in such emphatic ear
nestnesss. 1t is going to have
good influence on the rest of tn
state, and when the good roads
have been started and the worl

PEACE OFFICERS WIN AP-
PROVAL.

The grand jury which recently
completed its work after am eX-
tended session put the seal Of ap-
proyal upon the work Of the
peace officers Of Chickasha and
Grady county. On this point the
report Of the jury said
"'We have had before us, in
all, 73 witnesses coming from all
parts Of the county, and have eX-
amined them carefully in regard
to violations Of the law in their
different communities From this
investigation we are satisfied that
there is not great amount oil
law violation in the county, and
that the officers charged with the
enforcement Of the law in the
county and in the city of Chick
asha are performing their duties
in a satisfactory manner. "
In view Of the personnel Of this
jury, its findings in regard to law
enforcement carry special signi-
ficance. 1t is doubtful whether
any grand jury was ever com
posed Of more substantial, rep
resentative citizens men Of the
highest integrity and sound
judgment-and, therefore, it may
be fairly assumed that their in
vestigations were conducted with
out partiality.
t-is a matter Of congratulation
both to our officers and the peo-
pie of the county that conditions
50 commendable should be found
to exist il the city and county.
It was only a little more than a
year ago when a very different
sort Of report was presented by
a grand jury in this county That
50 radical a change for the better
has been made during the past
year should be gratifying, in
deed, to all good citizens.

FRANKLIN AND THE
LEAGUES CRITICS

Benjamin Franklin achieved
Immortality as patriot, statesman
and philosopher. His judgment
WAS ripened by experiences that
fall to the lost Of few men. Poor
and humble, he rose from obscu-
rity to the office Of postmaster
general Of the British North
american colonies; became a del
egate 10 the continental congress-
a signer Of the Declaration of In
dependence; Minister to France,
land finally one of the trainers of
\ the federal constitution.
The constitution as drafted by
\ the convention was not wholly to
/ his liking. He shared The views
\ Of other great Fathers-among
them Jefferson--that it failed toll
meet all the aspirations and
ideals which were voiced by the
chief liberals of his day. But he
Regarded it as a foundation upon
which to erect governmental
structure that ultimately-by
amendments and additions
should meet all the needs and
hopes of democracy. Ills wisdom
was yindicated by the sequel The
constitution was amended as he
would have >wished it to be-
though he did not live to see this
fulfillment of his desires and pre-
dictions.
Without the. beginning which
the first draft represented there
would have been no constitution
and, in all likelihood, no federal
union Of the states such as we
now possess and would not sub
stitute for any other arrange
ment the world has yet known.
There could have been no amend
ments to bring the constitution to
its present perfection but for the
imperfect plan which Franklin,
with others, deprecated but ac-
copied as the groundwork of a
larger and better fabric.
What Franklin said Of himself |
and others as critics of the fed
eral constitution has peculiar
application to those who are now
the League of Nations.
In his speech to the constitution ,
