THE MANCHESTER MILLS

Political contenders seem to be devils who walk where angels fear to tread. They had a political rally in Manchester the other day. Man. chester is a Connecticut town where the silk industry predominates and though there have been reports and rumors throughout the state that all was not well in the industry a feeling of helpfulness inclined ob- servers toward whispering rather than the use of the megaphone.
 Not so, however, when the spell- binders alighted in the town. They talked right out in meeting" Of course, they were members of the Democratic party. Taking the band ages off the sore spots of prosperity seems to be a speciality of Demo- cratic speakers; sometimes the sores. with the gauge off, look like terrible afflictions.
 It seems that Harris E. Cheney. boss of the Manchester mills, re- gently made public statement that Manchester must vote Republican or 1 the mills would be forced to close f down. Mr. Cheney said the tariff was the only issue in Manchester. What the tariff has to do with the dear ladies wearing rayon, ncar-sllk. artificial silk and what not was not explained by MT. Cheney. So far as we are aware he didn't even refer ] to Herbert Hoover's recent visit to F.lizabethton, Tenn, budding cen- ter of the artificial silk industry which MT. Hoover said truly waa blossoming there entirely because ol the tariff. We think Manchester has more to fear from Elizabethton than from a low tarlff. The Democrats in fact, are not promising low tariff but more of the present tariff-mor. of the sort of thing that boost! artificial silk in EliZabethton to tht detriment of real silk made in Man chester-which is the same thint that the Republicans favor.
 Yet it is interesting to note wha Dr. Edward o. Dolan, Democrat, spellbinder, had to say right in Man chester, to wit:
 'If the Republican tariff
 means prosperity. why have the Manchester mills functioned
 only GO per cent of capacity
 during the past two or three
 years: why have the workers been stop-watched: why has it

ONE REASON FOR SCHOOL
III COSTS ..aE--.-

MANY people are always ask
1Sl ing why schools cost so much
more than formerly. In most To-
calities, they cost far more than
they did 10 and Is years ago, and
the increase is not accounted for
by the gain in population, nor by
higher salaries of teachers, or by
greater expense Of erecting build
ings. One big item of expense is
that a great many children are
staying in school much longer than
formerly. 1t would seem likely
that the average child goes to
school at least two years more.
That makes a big increase in
school population. New teachers
and school buildings and necessary
facilities have to be provided fol
all these additional pupils. Oul
grandfathers used to think child
that had mastered the Three RS
was educated, but the modern
world realizes that he only began
to learn to use the tools of modern
life. --zE T..

4 TOWN has mo- place for Knock

A TOWN has no place for knock
= ers; a knocker is hardly a
man without "a country, but his
country, his town or his commun-
ity has little use for him.
There are all kinds of knockers
AS many as there are kinds of
people. The thriving city is filled
with boosters boosters who so
outnumber the knockers that their
knocking does not count for much.
We like the boosters. Sometimes
they are apprenticeship, or,
rather, over-enthusiastic is the
better word. But they are always
enthusiastic for their home town
or the cause in which they are in
terested and they are never to be
found hanging around somewhere
knocking this and knocking that.
No, booster is not built that
way. We must have these boost
ers; they are just as necessary to
the successful enterprise as day
light is to the earth.
Knockers are found everywhere
just the same as the boosters. but,
let us all be thankful for it, the
boosters are always far away in
the lead; usually, the knockers can
be found in the rear, where it is
safer for them, perhaps. They
click together, but even then they
fail to make crowd, as rule.
But the greatest booster is he
who converts the knocker into a
booster-makes him see the light
so that both play the game as
teammates ever after. A town has
no place for the knocker-it mat
tiers not whether he knocks town,
its enterprises or it's citizens. Show
us a man who knocks his fellow
citizens and we will soon show
you the poorest excuse for a citi-
zen extant.

THE FAIR ASSOCIATION

"NoW is the time for all good
~ men to come to the aid of

politician some years ago. Right
now we suggest that is the time
for all good men, also the bad
ones, to come to the aid of the
Kennewick Fair association.
The Fair association has been
Incorporated and is offering stock
at $40 per share to everyone who
is interested and wishes to help.
This stock, of course, has no real
value other than emitting the hold
er to membership in the organiza-
ton and a lifetime pass to the
fair grounds. The money all goes
to the fair association and will go
for the improvement of it's hold
ings..
People of Kennewick should get
behind the Fair association. Give
your $40 Immediately "a more
worthwhile work was never spon-
sored. Development of the fair
grounds will be notable, worth
while achievement for a town the
size of Kennewick. It is a work of
such commendable purpose that no
one should fail to contribute.

The Crime Wave, and
How To Control 1t
Judge Finley Makes Interesting Talk
at Civitan Luncheon; Says Courts
Must Have Cooperation of Citi-
zens if They Are To Be Effective

Judge T. B. Finley of Wilkesboro
was the principal speaker at the
weekly luncheon of the Boone Civil
tan Club held at the Daniel Boone
Hotel last Thursday. The noted
jurist made a most interesting talk
on citizenship. He spoke of the
duties the citizen owes to the COM
munity in upholding the law. He de-
plored the fact that so many of
our citizens seek to evade jury serv-
ice, which is one of the essential
parts of the judicial system. No mat
ter how competent and efficient the
judge and other officials are, unless
they have the sympathetic and
wholehearted cooperation of the cit
zens generally, their efforts will not
be as effective as they would be
with cooperation. He gave some
interesting figures as to the cost of
crime, which amount up to billions
of dollars each year. He said the
suppression of crime presented one
of the big problems of today and
eiictC NPOli Jul lCSOS VI IL anu
our ability and willingness to meet
the issue and solve it, depended the
welfare of the country.
One of the major objectives of
Civitan being the suppression of
crime, the address of Judge Finley
was timely and most interesting to
members of the club.
Mr.. F. H. Coffey, one of the lead
ing citizens of Caldwell county, was
a guest of the club and made talk.
Also Mr.. V. D. Guire, former may
or of Lenoir and at the present time
president of the Lenoir Kiwanis
club, was present and spoke very in
terestingly of civic club work. The
Lenoir Kiwanis club and the Boone
Civitan club hope to arrange joint
meeting IN one of the towns in the
near future.
The monthly business meeting of
the club will be held this Thursday
evening at the Daniel Boone hotel at
1880 o'clock. A full attendance of
members is desired.
