Interesting Information Ina Deeds, of Asheville, has been given a divorce because of the evil deeds of her Deeds.
More or Less True


 An optimist is a married man who thinks when his wife says she is going to attend a lecture on interior decorating it is going to be given by a dietician. Nothing can be more false than false friend, but nothing can look more false than a toupee.
 A flapper is a member of the human race who is more interest ed in what's in her compact than she is in what's in her head.
 There is nothing like making use of ones opportunity, and a once-over of a womans magazine shows the hair dressers have found they can fix bobbed hair even more expensively than they used to the old-fashioned flowing tresses.
 Pride is a great thing If a woman has a new spring coat she knows she would simply smother in the fur she has been wearing
 
 all winter, no matter how cold II happened to be.
 A rainbow complexion doesn't give you the impression that the flapper is color blind, it simply convinces you she is stone blind.
 A cynic is an old grouch who thinks motoring never will be safe until they equip cars with an in tuition that will enable them to know what a woman driver is go- ing to do and duck accordingly.
 The only thing more surprising than how we'll so many of the bad boys turn out is what awful oil cans so many of the good ones so often grow up to be.
 When you see the cans being carted away by the trash man you wonder why newspapers and mag azines publish so many recipes for things that cant be prepared with a can opener.

SMITH BY RECLAMATION?

The overwhelming victory for Gov. smith Tn California, followed by the withdrawal of Senator Walsh from the Presidential race not only ln- sures, if further insurance were necessary, the nomination of the New York Chief Executive by the Democrats, but it indicates his nomination by exclamation before the termination of the first ballot The reason given by Senator Walsh for retiring. that it is apparent that the Demo- crats of the country overwhelmingly desire Gov. Smith to be their leader, accentuates this situation.
 w w Jermane, telegraphing the last Seattle Times to reach Juneau, said that the opinion was growing at Washington that Gov. Smith will be nominated by exclamation without formal bal lot. That he will be the candidate of his party, says Jermane, is claimed or admitted by everybody A lot of Southern delegates want to see Coy. Smith nominated and do not wish to vote against him in the convention. On the other hand they are afraid of the local conse- quences if they should vote directly for him in the convention and offend the ultra bone drys of their section. They are very anxious to fol- low the suggestion of Judge Randolph of Georgia that Gov Smith be nominated under suspen- sion of the rules without roll call
 MT. Jermane compares the utter collapse of the opposition to Gov. Smith and the of popularity that is carrying to him the great mass of Democrats of all sections of the country 
 The Bryan wave spent it's force before the mid dle of October but Jermane thinks it may bt different with Gov Smith, and gives his reasons 5 Here the analogy ends. In the way
 of public record Bryan had back of
 him nothing but four years of unevent-
 ful service in the House of Repre-
 sentatives. In addition the great ma
 jorty of thinking people believed he
 was advocating something that
 economically unsound the result of
 whose approval would be disastrous to
 the country.
 Smiths record as Governor of New York is something that cannot be
 matched in importance by any other
 Democrat living. He has been
 tested during these eight years at All
 bany as almost other public
 in the country has been tested. The
 record has stood up against bitter and
 unceasing attack, and he is regarded
 one of the two three greatest
 Governors his State has had. He
 is a statesman; Bryan regarded by
 many people as a political adventurer,
 showy the surface, but shallow.
 This difference between them might
 add somewhat 10 the duration of the
 of emotonalism which would
 sweep the country following Smiths
 speedy and enthusiastic nomination.
 Even if the were to spend it's
 force prior to election day-as it would
 if starting too soon-he would still have
 the record which made the nomina-
 tion possible and it would give him
 many votes that no other Democrat
 could control.

Statements made from time to time in recent years have conveyed the impression that the Canadian Pacific is passing into American own ership. For obvious reasons this would not be altogether desirable change although Ameri- can investment capital is welcomed in the Dom- inion. The figures cited show that the share holders of the company are still mainly British and Canadian. It is not at all surprising that Americans should own more than one-quarter of the stock. considering how heavily they have invested in Canadian industry since the war

Majority and controlling ownership of the Canadian Pacific Railway still remains in Brit sh and Canadian hands, it is clear from the report of the company for 1927. Although Am ercan holdings of c. P. R. stock increased last year while British holdings declined roughly two-thirds of the total is still accredited to in- vestors in the Dominion and the United Kingdom.
