NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Stocks met additional selling at the short session today.

 Interest is still intense in the Gold Clause Case before the Supreme Court of the United States and the American Federation of Labor re- port stressing that although there is a gradual upturn in business mo- ticeable and while there is moder- ate improvement activity probably due in the Spring, there is no pros pect that betterment will be great enough to absorb even temporary work for millions of the unem- ployed

Editor. The Times-News:
I would sincerely appreciate
vour giving me reasonable amount
of space in the "Voice of the Peo-
ple" column to explain the situa-
ton which has arisen in the city
of Hendersonville, which I think
works hardship on the merchants
of this city who are advertisers,
taxpayers, and men who civically
assist in making the city whatever
it may be.
Every winter the merchants OF
this town GO through period of
months during which they have to
take losses in business. With the
coming of spring and the summer
season there arises from without
and within the voters of our coun-
ty a group of men and boys who
pay absolutely no license or taxes
to carry on a business in the city
of Hendersonville. They are not
supporters of the Chamber Of
Commerce; neither do they adver-
tise in the newspapers of the city,
or pay in any form, shape or man.

their particular line of peddling.
This group of men hit directly and
indirectly at all classes of mer-
chants.
The city of Hendersonville
maintains curb market where
the farmers of this county for a
small fee are able to display and
dispose Of their farm products.
This sort of competition, while it

may work q hardship on the me-
chants who deal in foodstuffs, IS
not compared with the house to
house peddling of farmers and
truckers, many Of them from with
out the county and state, who con-
tribute nothing to the welfare Of
the city financially. For years this
has grown, the police of the city
being poweYless to do anything,
because Of the fact that no city
ordinance or state statute requires
them to enforce the law.
This same condition applies to
the newspaper business, in which
| happen to be engaged. During
the winter months a young man,
who has the admiration of this en-
tire town. one Claude Drake, who
happens to be physically disabled,
serves the people Of this city in all
kinds of weather, selling the Ashe-
vile papers on Main street. Our
particular place Of business serves
the citizens Of this town in an
other section Of town. With the
coming of spring and summer,
from eight to ten boys and grown
men engage in our particular line
of business, giving us absolutely
no protection, but even go so far
as to post themselves in front OF

ISN'T THIS soPHIsTRY, SENATOR?

Those knowing nothing of the policy OF the Duke
Power company and Of its relations to the Duke
Endowment except what might be learned from
the address of Senator Byrnes, of South Carolina
in Greenwood Friday night as reported by the As
sociated Press, would be led to believe that the
company seeks to make two margins of proht-one
for its stockholders and another for charities.
Whether so intended by the Senator or not, that
was the clear implication of his charge and his con-
tentions, as reported.
The company, according to the Senator's report
ed statement, "is seeking to take money from the
people in order to enable it to indulge in charities
of its own choosing
, Admitting that the Duke Power company has
devoted its profits to worthy purposes" the Sen
ator contended that "a power company has no right
to ask more than a reasonable profit in addition to
the cost of production and that whenever 1t
seeks to take from the people money in order 70
enable it to indulge in charities, it is mistaken
policy"
/ The impression which undoubtedly Senator
ByrneS intended to make upon the minds OF his
audience and those who should read reports of
his address was that the Duke Power company
seeks not only "a reasonable profit in addition to
the cost of production but also, on top OF that an
unreasonable profit, Sin order to enable it to in
dulge in charities
In justice to those who heard or read the words
of the Senator and might accept them at face
value it is appropriate to state here the fact that
the charities to which he referred are those dis
pensed by the Duke Endowment, which has no other
mission or business but philanthropy, and that the
Endowment, a separate corporate organization, IS
merely stakeholder in the Duke Power company,
just are numbers of individuals The Duke En-
dowment is stakeholder also in a number of other
companies, just as any corporation or Individual
has right to be. Moreover the Duke Endowment
obtains the funds it dispenses not only from the
Duke Power company, but also from other corpora
tions in which it holds stock. Further, and this IS
important, the Endowment shares in the profits of
the Duke Power company just any other stock
! hIoder, just as would Senator Byrnes if he hap
pened to be the owner of some of its securities
The Duke Endowment receives the same rate OF
dividend from the Duke Power company, and fro:h
tobacco companies and other corporations in which
it is stakeholder, any and all other stockholders
receive, and in case is there super or extra
margin of profit sought obtained by any of these
companies merely to enable one of its security
holders to Indulge in charities"
! Undoubtedly Senator Byrnes knew all of these
facts but in his Greenwood address seems to have
been INDUCING in sophistry designed to prejudice
those who, did not know the facts.-The Charlotte
Observer.

AMERICA FIRST
lRr RRUCE CATTON(

You can hear a good deal of talk about
the need for confidence, these days, II you
listen for it; and after hearing about 50
much of it, you are apt to begin to wonder
just why We need to do so much talking
about it.
Confidence is essential, of course; but
confidence in what? In the honesty Or
good sense of a particular group of poll
ticians, fnanciers, business men, or labor
leaders, or in the general health and ro-
business of the country as whole?
In the long run, the latter is all that
counts America is so big and so husky
that she has stood up under an awful lot
of hammering from selfish and misguided
people in The past.
Politicians have misled her and robber
barons of finance and industry have taken
her for ride, but nobody has ever been
able to put her in the hospital for keeps.
Perhaps the best course for person who
feels this need of confidence would be to
go out across the countryside and see what
there is to be seen.
He could drive across millions of acres
of the finest farming land on earth, past
big barns and comfortable houses and
green fields, amid sun Drowned and
brawny people who are more self-reliant,
more intelligent, and more ambitious than
any other group of farmers that ever ex-
listed.
He could go through the worlds great
est workshops, where the most modern ma
chinery on earth is teamed with the earth )
most skilled workers under the direction ..
executives who know their jobs forward
and backward, inside and out.
He could travel over the worlds great
est transportation network, with paved
roads, railway lines, waterways, and air,
plane fields to cooperate in the moving OF
people and goods on scale never seen be-
fore.
He could visit the worlds greatest oil
fields, its most productive deposits of coal
and iron and aluminium, its most stupen-
dous hydro-electric plants; he could see a
series of colleges and technical schools
such as no other country can boast, busy
at the job of providing trained leadership
he could mingle with people not yet dis
couraged by the ills of long-drawn de-
preston, but full of determination and
brave optimism
Confidence! 1t ought to be drug on the
market. This country is simply too big to
lick. Not folly nor selfshness nor blind
ness can stop it.
The one thing that ought to seem GER
tain, in world of uncertainty, is that
America will return to its old-time health
