NEWSPAPERS OPINION
RELIC OF ANTE-BELLUM DAYS

Fifty miles west of Greenville Is. c., just off
a modern, hard surfaced highway extending from
Seneca S. c., to Highlands N. c.. there's relic
of ante-bellum days, and a landmark of mans de
termination to get ahead despite great natural
barriers-a 30-foot tunnel that was to be part OF
a great railway system from Charleston to Knox
vile, Tenn.
The tunnel is more than 80 feet high and was
carved for two miles out of solid granite. The
southern entrance is several miles west of Wal
halla, and the northern entrance is two and half
miles farther west, on the other side of the noun
tain range.
Before the War Between the States, engineers
started what they hoped would be a gigantic rail
system, and not knowing any other way to get
around or across the mountain range, they decided
to bore through it. For years they labored here,
using slave labor and mule teams. Crews started
at each end of the range, and those working from
the Walhalla end had chiSeled their way two miles
into the bowels of the earth when news of the war
stopped them They were then within quarter
mile of the other crew, which was smaller and OF
necessity moved slower.
The tunnel has never been completed and never
will be- fer the rail systems later adopted Short
er and more economical route. And today the
huge pile of granite chiseled from that tunnel and
placed so it could be used as roadbed across an
adjoining ravine is being utilized for the base OF
nearby highway which affords roadbed, as It
were. for buses and trucks, the chief competitors
of the railway system which was visioned years
ago for this mountain section.
Men working near the tunnel told me that the
property is now owned by the Southern railway,
and civilian conservation corps workers camped
nearby and are hauling the granite-nOne in pieces
larger than man can carry-to strategic points
where highways need repairs.-Editorial CORE
spondence from Greenville g. c. in the Concord
Tribune

News is not to be estimated strictly on the
basis of the number of PAID subscribers
the paper has. We know of cases where
two or more families read one daily copy
of the paper. Many copies have casual
readers, in addition to subscribers and
members of their families.
However, in selling advertising, The
Times-News does not ask patrons to pay
anything for this additional circulation.
Advertising is sold on the basis of PAID
circulation; and advertising rates are
fixed by the number of subscribers and
not the number of readers.
The Times-News has PAID circulation,
in Hendersonvile and throughout the sub
urban area, and throughout Henderson
county, and in some sections of adjoining
counties. These people, who represent the
larger part of the buying power of Hen
Jacksonville and its trade territory, can be
reached quickly and effectively through
the advertising columns of The Times
News. They are responsive to the BUSI-
NESS NEWS found in their favorite news
paper. The results are certain to follow
adequate, persistent use of space. The
leading advertisers in Hendersonville con-
firm this statement. There is room in our
columns for the BUSINESS NEWS of
every business house in the community.

Child Guidance
by
Frank Howard Richardson
NJ. D.. F. A. c. P.
Black Mountain, N. C., and
Brooklyn. N. Y.
AT WHAT AGE SHOULD
SCHOOL BEGIN

"Madam. you are exactly one
year too late said Napoleon to
a mother who boasted that she
was beginning her sons educa-
ton at the age of one. Modern
science agrees with the Emperor.
"Give me a child until he is six;
and ! care not who has him
then" said the wise old Jesuit;
and he was perfectly safe when
he said it.
The child comes into the world
equipped with some instincts. The
moment his first contact with the
air causes him to expand his
lungs and cry, he begins to col
iect impressions to add to and
continues this collecting without
interruption, awake or asleep, I'M
til his last breath is exhaled, and
life departs. This makes up his
education.
Vt is only natural that early
impressions should be stronger
and deeper than later ones; they
have less competition to meet in
establishing themselves. We all
! know how easily we can recall
names, faces and events from
our early childhood; and how
hard it is to commit things to
! memory in later life:
Since early impressions are so
strong and so lasting. they had
better be correct and desirable
ones. 1t is no easy matter to ar
lange the environment of the
young child that he shall never
receive wrong or harmful i'm
pre"siOns; yet much can be done
toward this end by wise care and
forethOught.
If we will remember that real
education begins right at birth, it
will Re evident that parents are
the first teachers, and for sew
cral years practically the only
ones. If We wait for school to
begin the child's education at
six, we shall be sacrificing the
half dozen most valuable learn
ing years of his life.

CRIME CONTROL DOESN'T END
WITH ARREST
CBY BRUCE CATION

Few Americans are apt W qG"li0A
Attorney General Cummings plea that
broad powers be given the federal govern
ment to move against gangsters, hdnap-
ers, racketeers and other criminals.
The offensive against organized CRIME
somehow or other, has taken on new life
in recent months. A nation that looked on
its crime record with more or less COM
placency for a long time seems at last to
be determined to do something about 1t.
The program suggested by Mr.. Cum
mfngs probably will meet a sympathetic
reception.
But it is worth remembering that such
program, in itself, isn't nearly enough.
We need to broaden our powers to catch
criminals, surely; but We need also-and
we need it very badly-to do something
effective about the problem of handling
them after we have caught them.
The best crime detection service in the
world can be no stronger, in the last an
alysis. than the criminal court into which
it feeds its product.
And it would take very great optimist
to say that our criminal courts today are
anywhere nearly as effective as they ought
to be.
The American criminal court is cursed
by many things; by archaic rules OF pre-
cedure, which give the criminal all the
breaks; by politically minded judges, who
periodically must run for reelection; by
4 Jury system which too frequently keeps
off the panel any man who is aware even
moderately of what is going on in the world
about him; by a vast horde of unscruplt-
Ious attorneys who will stop at nothing to
get their clients off, and whose only ques-
ton, when a case is offered them, is, "HoW
much is. there in it?"
IF we had the best federal and munich
pal police systems on earth we still would
come up against this criminal court bar
rier.
We still would find smart lawyers in
terpOsing delay after delay between ar
rest and trial, until the case against the
criminal collapsed of its own weight. We
still would find judges granting continu-
ariee after continuance to defendants who
had amin" ..
1--WE still would find the machinery of
paroles and suspended sentences being
perverted by politicians against the public
good. we still would find juries being
fixed, witnesses being, tempered with, and
legal techniealities being used to block the
course of justice.
SSBefOre we can make real Roadway in
our war on crime, we must overhaul oUr
Criminal court system-and the overhaul
ing must be pretty drastic.

WASHINGTON. - The money

stiff fight from the embattled adj
ministration liberals.
The battle-ground is the White
House, where every possible ounce
of pressure is being directed
against the Wall Street effort to
modify both the Securities Act and
the stock market control bill now
before Congress.
Disciples of Justice Brandeis lead
the counter-attack. They receive
inspiration and counsel from the

James Landis-twO chief sponsors
of the act and bill-and Treasury
Fiscal Adviser Mariner Eccles.
Like-minded are Senator Dun
can Fletcher and Congressman
Sam Rayburn, committee chair
men who have the bill in charge.
But standing with Wall Street
in this issue is Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau. Jr..
and liberals fear that Roosevelt
IS being won over to the other
side.

CANNON FREED
FRIDAY
Methodist PreIate, Aide
Are Both Acquitted
by Jury

WASHINGTON, April % CUP.
Bishop James Cannon, Jr.. and
Miss Ada L. Burroughs were &C
quilted by a jury in District of
Columbia supreme court yester-
day of charges of conspiriSg to
violate the corrupt practices act.
The jury, which deliberated for
three hours and rs minutes,
found nothing unlawful in their
failure to report to the house of
representatives all of the money
they collected in 1928 to oppose
the presidential candidacy Of Al
fred +. Smith.
Cannon, who had been reading
a religious magazine while the
jury deliberated, smiled when the
foreman announced:
"Not guilty"
1t took the jury only a little
more than three hours to decide
an issue which has been in dis
pute for several years. Cannon's
anti-Smith activities once were
the subject of a senatorial inves-
tigation. The jury took two bal
lots, the first being 9 to 3 for
acquittal.
Never before in the United
States has a 'churchman of such
high rank been tried on charges
which carried with conviction a
possible prison sentence Of two
years and fine of $4,000.
