HIGH KNOB PARK IS
ALMOST AN ASSURED
THING, SAYS SLEMP
Is Practically Up to the Ha-
gan Syndicate - Norton
kiwanis Club Gets Busy

The High Knob National Park
project was taken up again at the
Kiwanis Club luncheon last Tues
day, ut which time report was
heard from J. K.Taggart. who had
been confering with Congressman
Slemp on the matter.
Mr.. Slemp was of the opinion that
il IA certain acreage OF land could lie
secured mt the Knob from the Hagan
Syndicate by donation, preferably
5000 acres, an appropriation from
the National government could be
obtained for the building of road
to the Knob and the construction of
the park. p
Mr.. Slemp is n member of the APP
preparation committee and could
doubtless present the situation eff
fcctivcly and secure the location OF
the park for Southwest Virginia.
a committee of dozen or more
men was appointed Mt the Kiwnnis
meeting, with Captain II. +. Hyatt
as chairman, instructed to go before
the lIagan Syndicate and ascertain
just whnt kind of proposition it had
to make with reference to the acre
age necessary for the park.
When this committee returns it
will prepare report. arrive mt after
consideration of all possible aspects
Of the situation, and present it TO
Congressman Slcmp,who will in turn
lay the matter before the appropria-
tions committee and do what is in his
power to get the park for the South
west.
The park would mean more to this
section than can be estimated at this
time. With the completion of the
tourist highway now being construc-
ted the world would roll into Wise
county and Wise county would roll
in wealth. -Crawfori's Weekly

SkoaI!

10 meet death with smile has
long been the ideal Of the brave. Sol.
d'ers have gone over the top to Ger
tain destruction with a Jest on thei,.
lips. Men and women suddenly
stricken in railroad wreck have
died making light of their hurt.
Others, waiting patiently at home,
have joked as the end came upon
them.
OF such heroic fiber was the un-
known radio operator of the Norve-
gian freighter Grontoft. As his shin
was sinking in a hurricane off Cape
Race he filed the air with the tradi.
tional S 0 S calls and named the
ships location.
The nearest liner answered. and.
turning into the gale, started to the
rescue.
AS it reported its progress Of four
miles an hour the unknown operator
OF the Grontoft saw that there was
no hope of its arriving in time. The
Grontofts end was already in sight.
"Ihis is no weather to be out with
out an umbrella" he clicked to the
rescuer. And, little later, "The
steward is making sandwiches for
the lifeboats; looks like we were 60
ing on a picnic" was his message.
though he knew full we'll that no
llfeboat could be launched in such a
sea. When he had finally sent the
official report that the ship was sink
ing head down the operator took his
last fling at the world.
Sorry We couldn't wait for YOU. -
he flashed to the rescue ship; "press-
ing business elsewhere" And he
ended with the Norwegian toast,
"SkoaI!"
No trace was found of the ship {;
but the operators messages were
brought to New York Wednesday to
cheer the faint-hearted and to bear
tribute to the courage of the man
who sent them.

The Ghost Ralks

Evidently the ghost of Antigonish
docsnt like house parties, or else it
has yellow streak. No such enticc-
menjs ever wcro contrived for a
spooks welcome as DR.. Prince and
his eXpcditionary force have devised
in the haunted chambers Of the Mae
donalds, yet the phantom SHES. is it
diffidcncc, dlstaste for society or pol
troonery? SO far it looks as though
the ghost were the one most fright
ened. He may have gone to ghost
headquarters to consult the higher
stratesists.
DR.. Prince has net been reticent
about his quest. The story of his
bells and rattles and other play
things makes jolly good reading, but
it is all by yay Of preamble. He must
be told that newspaper readers who
have been lot in on the adventure are
eager for the plot to thickcn. They
want action. If the ghost doesn't
walk pretty soon DR.. Prince will lind
1t hard to get another job as spook
hunter.
There is a suspicion, barely init
mated, that the specter eats three
square meals a day. Most of the
Caledonia Mills folk do that, even at
tractivc little Mary Ellen, who is
much in the foreground of the haunt
cd house drama. The Cock Lane
Ghost was girl Of about Mary
Ellen's age, but that is quite another
story. Mary Ellen herself has told
DR.. Prince that the ghost is an evil
spirit from never, never land. And
apparently he has gone home.

Methuselah and ''Uncle .Joe''

1t is just like George Bernard
Shaw to hurl his "Methuselala" at a
generation which has not vet for

Uncle Joe" Cannon.
Hoary heads disagree among
themselves. According to "Uncle
Joe," it is young hearts that the
world needs, not old heads. A
statesman of seventy should retire,
he says, giving way to one not so
versed. perhaps, in the mechanics
OF politics, but better able to under
stand the hearts of the new world.
The Treaty of Paris was signed by
men nearly all Of whom were over
sixty. Yet already they have loos
ened their hold on their peoples. In
ten years, probably, certainly in
twenty, all of them will have ceased
to be dominant political figures.
In the Shaw-made world these
striplings of sixty and seventy would
would be just entering into their
years Of real usefulness.
Cant you see," says Brother
Conrad Barnabas, chat threescore
years and ten, though it may be
long enough for very crude sort
Of village life, isn't long enoug, for
complicated civilization like ours?
Flinders Petrie has counted nine at
tempts at civilization made by peo-
pie exactly like us, and every one
OF them failed. just as ours is doing.
They failed because the citizens and
statesmen died of old age or over
eating before they had grown out of
schoolboy games and savage sports
and cigars and champagne.'
The trouble with old heads in this
pre- Methuselah era is that they tend
to apply their long accrued wisdom
to conflict with younger minds
instead Of TO cooperation. States
men invariably turn conservative
and grandnothers Invariably mourn
the good old days. Shaw's "she

Blue Sky" Laws

In the opinion of the Bar Asso
cations committee on law reform
the so-called "blue sky" bills lately
introduced into the Legislature vii
not give protection to investors. In
stead, SO the committee believes
they merely impose cumbersome re.
strictions on legitimate business and
check the flow of capital into the
development Of national resources
industries and inventions.
II, as the committee asserts, ex-
isting laws are adequate for tho
purpose which the "blue sky" bills
are intended to serve. further legis
laton for the regulation of business
is unwise.
There is little time for the care.
full scrutiny which should be giver
all measures IN any way affecting
business. Public indignation which
has resulted from the bucketshor
exposures is natural. 1t may have
the effect of hurrying through i'll
considered and pcrnicious laws.
No one will dispute the impor-
tance of putting financial swindlers
in Jail as speedily az possible. Yet
laws can no more prevent swindlina
than they can prevent burglary, and
their inadeQuacy to prevent the
latter crime in New York City is
apparent TO every one who dwells
here.
The commission appointed by
Governor Smith is quoted by the
committee as unanimously opposed
to any statutes dealing directly with
individual securities.
THE reason is plain SAYS the
report. 1T would be virtually i'm
possible to secure the needed cant
tai for private enterprisc-to per
suade any New York capitalist to
invest any money in private enter
prise-if the enterprise is subject to
the red tape of state officials and
might be rendered absolutely nuga-
tory by the arbitrary ruling of a
state official"
just now it will be very easy to
throttle business by hasty and half
baked legislation. The prompt con-
vlctlon and severe sentence OF the
men already in the tolls Of the law
as swindlers will have a far more
saiutary effect than seeking to make
business fool proof by statute

Removing the Last Bar

they were not really In politics. 1t

the right to hold committee places

measures.
They will be able to do far more

machinery and party methods, and
they will be better able, If they find
them not what they ought to be, to

When Congressman Garfield pre-.
sented the pension bill of his dav he
stated that the sum required might
possibly reach the enormous figures Of
S25,000,000, after which it would de-
cline. The pension bill of this year
carries close to $500, 1000. 900, thus show
