JUSTICE SCHENCK

The people of his home town and county
mite with thousands Of friends throughout
the State in cOngratulating Judge Michael
Schenck on his elevation to the Supreme
Court. The friends Of Judge Schenck be-
heve that he will grace the bench of that
august tribunal in a manner that will cause
him to be ranked with the ablest North
Carolinians who have been members of the
States highest court.
Judge Schenck has the qualifications
and the temperament which should make
him an outstanding member of the Su-
preme Court. His friends know that he
has been growing in judicial stature since
going on the Superior Court bench and
they believe that the higher court offers
an ideal field for the employment of his
talent Public opinion in this section of the
State heartily approves Governor Ehring-
haus' appointment of Judge Schenck.
Judge Schenck's appointment is to fill
the unexpired term of the late Justice
Adams, who was a candidate for re-elec-
ton in the November election. 1t will be
necessary for the State Democratic EXecu-
tive Committee to nominate a candidate to
take the place of Justice Adams in the
November election. There is no probable
ity that Judge Schenck will fail to get the
nomination and his election in November
will be assured.

CIVILIZATION VERSUS sAvAGERY

Clyde Barrow, Texas outlaw, has gon"
the way of outlaws. Along with Barrow
went his outlaw woman companion, Bon-
ME Parker. Barrow had long and sue
cessful career for a modern outlaw. He
committed many of the gravest crimes, IN
Guiding the murder of large number of
good citizens, officers of the law and
others but the law got him at last. The
law always gets the outlaw Outraged
Civilization and its rules and regulations
finally bring the law breaker to a reckon
ing.
Terrible conditions exist in this country
today-conditions which make possible the
careers of the Barrows, Dillingers and
other beasts of the lawIess jungle-but
the outlaws are playing a losing game,
they are fighting hopeless fight. The laws
of civilization will get them
Through the ages, men seeking higher
and better things for mankind, better
social order, security and peace for indi-
vldualS under law and order, have been
forced to fight for the very existence of
civilization against the jungle beasts, the
lawleSS of every kind in human form. For
years in this country the battle has been
going against civilization and law. The
small minority of the lawless seemed to be
slowly overcoming the vast majority of
law abiding people and the prediction has
been made that a state of absolute chaos
and lawlesSness was about due in this
country. This is dark picture, and one
that is not justified, despite the fact that
lawlessness has reached hitherto unknown
proportions and excuses in the United
States in the past few years :
The appalling outbreak Of lawlessness
which the country has been and is witness.
ing is the development which will arouse
tens OF millions of good citizens of the
country and redeem it from the oppression
OF gangsters, kidnapers, bank robbers
rnurderers and all the horde of law break.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
CHALLENGE TO THE PRESS

Dean Alderman, of the Columbia University
School of journalism, has issued challenge 10
the press of this nation which is entitled to soDHr
consideration: q.
Speaking before the annual meeting OF the Ne"
York State Society of Newspaper Editors, he called
on the press to focus attention on the problems oil
local government.
Alderman is not alone in his diagnosis OF the
nrasent drift in nation and state whereby local
government is menaced and we are shorn of our
civic responsibility and pride. AS he says, this is
bound ultimately, to result in "a weak race o.
citizens who grow up in the belief that the United
States can be successfully operated as a nation
by few supposedly super-minded men in Wash
ington',-or in Raleigh he might have added.
The Dean put the proposition sQuarely, after
pointing out the dangers of "internationalsm with
remote control when he concluded:
'"The people must choose not between national
ism and internationalism but between nationalism
with remote control and community selfgovern-
ment with direct control cooperating with and
supporting the national government as free and
independent agencies of citizenship.
"The people must determine whether the citizen
exists for the state or the state for the citizen, and
as it is a question which should be decided by the
people rather than by the federal government, 1t
is problem of the press, the school and the
church, and should be presented as such before
congress extends again practically unlimited au-
thority to the president"
All citizens who see serious consequences IN
store for free people unless some semblance of
local control is retained by the people, cannot but
consider the bureaucratic tendencies in North
Carolina.
In addition to the centerng of control at the
state capitol, reports tell of Dr. Allen superinten
dent of public Instructions now in Washington, ad-
vocating federal participation in the support OF
public schools He admits quite frankly that if the
federal government helps finance the schools it will
also help control them.
We have seen local control of schools slip from
our grasp as Raleigh took charge. Now the second
step is threatened, as the advocates of federal
support of schools prepare to nationtlize our edu-
cational system by the narcotic route" of offer
ing financial support.
In the last analysis, of course, the people pay
the cost just as surely as if they levied their own
taxes and retained control In this present strange
interlude of our national life, however, we seem
to think that the state and federal agencies have
the power to pull funds out of the sky, and that
all appropriations can get from those sources
are gravy. Ultimately, of course, there will be an
awakening, but powers lost by the people, history
reveals, are always difficult to reclam-Hickory

ers. The Iawless of this country are, after
all. only fraction of the total population.
They have many advantages over gooo
citizens in waging their fight on the la"
and on civilization, but these advantages
are not sufficient to give them the victory
Law breakers will be wiped cut, as Bar
row was eliminated, or placed where they
will be restrained from warning on organ
lied society; and civilized ana law-obey-
ing men will win the age-old contest with
the spirit of the lawless jungle. 4

MORE ASPIRING CANDIDATES
ANSWER QUESTIONABLE ON
VIEWS AS TO PROHIBITION

NOTE-Several weeks ago in
a convention of the United Dry
Forces Of Henderson county, a
committee was appointed to sub
NIT a QUESTIONABLE to county
candidates, asking them for state
ments as to their position on the
prohibition issue as it applies III
North Carolina and their attitude
as to the problem of law en-
forcement. The committee is COM
posed of James L. Brown, chair
man, and Misses Bessie Allen and
Emma Sample, residents of Hen
Jacksonville. The committee pre-
pared questions and submitted
them to all Henderson county
candidates, one set of questions
for candidates for the legislature,
and another for candidates for
law enforcement offices.
The latter questions were also
submitted to other candidates. A
number of candidates have sub
mitted answers in writing to the
questions prOpOunded by the COM
mittee and the committee has re-
quested that The Times-News
print these letters. While the
task of doing so is a somewhat
large order, this newspaper is
undertaking it for the purpose
of placing before the voters in
the approaching primaries the in
formation contained in the re-
sponses of the candidates. More
than one installment Of this mat
ter is being required, and the
second is herewith presented. The
Times-News hopes the voters will
give this presentation of the
views of the candidates most
careful consideration.-E

did it. His brain was diseased
from alcohol. He was not re-
sponsible. His appetite for hard
liquor had got beyond his control
"But of course" unused the
president, "the time he made the
mistake for which he was ac-
countable was when he began to
drink. He was in control of
himself then. Then he was re-
sponsible and that was the time
he should have discharged his
