THE WAY TO HANDLE THEM

The New York Times has found moral in the
outcome of the California election-and it is Il
sound one. The total failure of the Sinclair CAM
paign, says that paper, is important in itself, but
more so in showing how to meet political move
ment like this. The only way the American way,
is to challenge the whole thing directly face it
squarely, and make an end of it for good and all
When radical or a dreamer starts up some mad
project, and apparently has won an irresistible
popular support for it, the instinct of some public
men is to compromise. Go part way with him. it
Is argued, as to prevent him from going the
whole way If he is unbalanced fanatic act
little crazy yourself, as to lure from him part
of his voting strength. If he offers universal
pension of $50 month, make your own bid $25.
This would be the theory that the method of
dlscouraging and defeating wild man is to pro-
pose measures not quite so wild as his. But not
did the people of California their duty Tues
day. They attacked the entire Sinclair plan and
repudiated it emphatcally. Time and again have
the American people met demagogue of that kind
and disposed of him in that way. California has
shown the rest of the country how to go aboat
such disagreeable business and do it thoroughly.

GIVE THEM A YARDsTTcK AND THEY'LL
TAKE A MILE

In its suit to cnjon Greenwood county, South
Carolina, from building a hydro-electric power
plant with PWA funds the Duke Power Company
protests
That the Duke companies have invested many
millions of dollars in power facilities for serving
the territory in question; that the service is ade-
quate, the rates approved by the constituted au-
tborities: that the companies are large taxpayers
to Greenwood county, the state government ana
the federal government; and that they have the
right to object to the use of federal or county
funds for setting up plant in competition with
them.
This strikes us as an utterly reasonable argu-
ment. 1t is all very well to describe power conf
panies as fat and crafty monsters but nonetheless
is it customary to require specific charges and
proof of something or other before condemning
corporations to slow death. Undoubtedly power
rates in this territory have in times past been ex
cessve, but that is commentary on the impotency
of the regulation which the states provided. Like
WISE it does no credit to the judgment of the
power companies
The power companies may, it is true, have been
cold to the re-discovered American idea of the
greatest good for the greatest number, but in that
they were no different from the rest of business
world and the rest of powerful individuals, too
We think that certainly there should be another
try at regulation before setting up governmental
competition, and we think also that if the gov
eminent goes into competition with the power
companies at w be but question of time before
it gosS3& direct competition with other bust
nesses, u ling the newspaper business. That is
really frightens us.-Charlotte News.

POLITICAL REVOLUTION

40 yave very similar to that which swept
over Che lifted States two years ago, occurred
again eaag. While the Republicans elected a
few meze of Congress and several Governors
and othe 2fficials, Democratic candidates for the
most part mere elected throughout the country It
was ane OF the most complete triumphs ever
achieved by any political party.
In 1916 James Monroe running as the candidate
of the Democratc-Republican party was elected
practically without opposition, ushering in what
was known the EZRA CT good feeling and was
reelected in 1920 without opposition After that
his party became so large that it was unweldy and
divided into two parties known as the Democratic
party and the National Republican Tor Whig)
party
The present Democratic party is not the party
of Monroe, of Jackson, of Cleveland or Woodrow
Wilson It's rineiples and policies have undergone
an almost complete change. 1t seems improbable
that the vast army which it has enlisted will he
able to march long under one flag. The country
has just witnessed political revolution and it is
not finished yet-Beaufort News.

NATIONAL PARKWAY DECISION
CAUSES REJOICING

The most encouraging development
news that has come to HendersOnville IN
many years was that received yesterday
in regard to the national parkway from
the Shenandoah Park to the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park, which Secretary
Ickes announced would be constructed on
what is known as the North Carolina route
instead of being routed from Blowing Rock
into Tennessee. The news was received
with intense interest and rejoicing in this
city and section, as the people look into
the future and visualize something of the
results of the development of the Smoky
Park and the construction of this splendid
highway. Many citizens had abandoned
the hope that the parkway would be corr
structed through this section and near
Hendersonville and Asheville; and the
news of Secretary Ickes' final determine
ton of the matter was electrifying.
The route of the parkway, it is said, will
be near Biltmore. 1t will cross the Hender
sonville-Asheville highway and the French
Broad River between Biltmore and Sky
land and will then be constructed through
Pisgah Forest, on to the west of Waynes-
vile and into the Park through a connec-
ton with the highway from No. 10 to New
found Gap.
This route will bring the parkway with
in few miles of the center of Asheville.
1t will be a greater distance from Hender-
sonville, but the people of this place be-
heve that the commercial benefits derived
from the construction and Use of the park
way will be realized in a large measure
in this section, also. They are willing to
take a chance with the other parts of
Western North Carolina in securing ma
terial benefits from this great develop
ment
No doubt the parkway is regarded BY
the people of this section, as it is by the
people of Western North Carolina as al
whole, as primarily large and lasting con-
tribution to the promotion of the sections
tourist business. The building of it. like
the development of Smoky Park, is great
tourist enterprise; and, in the first place,
Park and parkway are commercial prop
osition; but the people of this city and Sec
ton do not overlook the fact that the Park
is one of the scenic wonders of the entire
United States and the parkway will be the
outstanding scenic roadway in the entire
country.
Our people have great pride in Smoky
Park and the parkway will also be al
source of satisfaction and pride to them
They rejoice with North Carolina in the
favorable decision made by Secretary
Iekes and in the fact that the parkway
route is to run within some twelve or fiji
teen miles of this city.

Pete himself offers occasional in
