NEWSPAPERS OPINION
HITLER TAKES OVER THE COURTS

The announcement has been made in Berlin that
Herr Hitler has assumed control of all the courts
and state attorneys in Germany. The judges, civil
and criminal. throughout the land will be his per-
sonal appointees and may be removed at any time
''for any reason he considers adequate" In other
words he stands fine chance of losing no lawsuits,
nor is it likely that the judiciary will find flaws IN
anything ne may do. An enemy of Hitlers who
might be facing a criminal trial will have little
show of escaping the fate the Reichfuehrer has
mapped out for him.
Such a set-up as that makes farce of justice
and shows the extent to which Hitler is willing to
go in forcing his will on the German people. He
evidently does not dare risk his cause in courts
organized to deal out justice to all corners. He
proposes to have the situation well in hand that
Hitler may think he is strengthening his own posi-
ton by such tactics, but as matter of fact ne IS
disclosing the weakness of his own case when ne
refuses to permit the courts to act independently
and in accordance with law and justice.
We in this country may chafe at the way in
which congress has abdicated its legislative powers
and rubber-stamped whatever has been handed to
it by the executive. Many things in the New Deal
are under suspicion of being contrary to the Con-
stitution and suits are pending in many states to
test various phases of the program. The people
and the New Dealers both know that the federal
judges are free to decide they believe to be the
law, and, consequently, the administration can no.
do just as it pleases. We may have some wide de;
partures from the traditional rules of government
but law still prevails.-Mupcie Qnd) Star.

BACK TO THE FARM IN WESTERN
NORTH CAROLINA ~,

The back-to-the-farm movement IN YES
tern North Carolina is making great prog
ress. 1t is highly popular and successful
movement A report of the agricultural
census made in the % counties OF the Iotn
and 18th congressional districts shows the
number of farms in this territory has III
creased by 1866 since the census OF 1881
was made. There are now 64.270 farms IN
the % counties. Buneombe has the largest
number of FARMS, 633-Clsyeland is in
second place with 5,331. Every one of the
% counties shows an increase in the num-
Der of farms. The increase in Yancey coun-
~ amounts to 40 per cent. .,..
Henderson county makes an encourag-
ing record in the census figures. In 1880
this county had 1888 farms. The number
has risen to 2,746.
David NJ. Buck of Yancey county, super
visor of the farm census, attributes the in
crease in the farm population to the fact
that country people who flocked to the
towns and cities during the boom period TO
secure employment in industry and other
lines of business have been returning to
the land, due to the unemployment of the
depression period. The census has also I'M
covered the fact that in the vicinity Of
large industries farming is being developed
by industrial employees. This class of the
population, with only part time employ
ment for the past several years, is turning
to cultivation of the soil in spare time.

WHAT CURIOSITY DID
By ,WICKES WAMBOLDT

riosity of the geniuses of the
world has given the world most Of
it's discoveries and inventions.
And curiosity has not been linz
tied to the physical plane either.
1t has been back of the important
excursions that have been made
into the mental realm. 1t has been
curiosity that has made certain
people wonder why minds worked
thus and so; and why such and
such mental reactions were OBJ
tanned.
The result is the science of psy-
chology which has been building
up ever since man had sense
enough to think, and which-lf
the world endures long enough
will do its part in producing a
race of men superior to US. /,
Curiosity has not been confined
to the physical and the mental
realms of either. 1t has reached
into the spiritual. Man became Gu
rious about the Creator of things
and set out to find Him. And his
curiosity gave him a glimpse OF
Divinity. That glimpse gave him
an overwhelming desire to know
Divinity and to be a part of Dl-
yinity. =.
So curiosity is a good thing. 1t
can be made a bad thing-just as
any other good thing can be made
bad thing. But curiosity has
given man many Of his blessings
and will give him many more.
Curiosity is a good thing not to
discourage in children, too. Curl
osity may lead them to discover
greater wonders than the world
has vet known. The thing in chill
-Gren that makes them want to
find out why the hands of the
clock 90 round is the thing that
caused Copernicus to unravel the

New Mexico are more than ever
convinced that the encourage

One reason is that Farley tele-
phoned the clerk OF the Senate

while it was in session and left
word for Chavez to call him when
the committee recessed.

BALLOT RULE.
HANDED DOWN
Does Not Apply to City
Elections According to
Attorney General

RALEIGH, April 30.-Although
the attorney generals office has
held consistently since the act
was first passed that the absen-
tee ballot law does not apply to
municipal elections, there appears
to be considerable confusion on
the subject among officials in a
number of cities and towns.
Several city officials have
made inquiry about the matter;
some report that their cities have
been using the absentee ballot IN
ignorance of the ruling: one Of
fetal expressed the opinion that
at least half the cities and towns
in the state were doing the same
thing.
The officials have asked the in
stitute of government to send out
a bulletin setting out the attor-
new generals ruling on the sub
iect and clearing up any confu,,
sion which obtains in this regard
in connection with coming mum,
cipal elections. Attorney General
Seawell's latest ruling follows:
"This department has consist
emily held for a long period of
wears that the law does not au-
thorize absentee voting in NUM-
cipal primaries and elections.

SONG OF SIXPENCE

The British system of pounds, shllllngs
and so on is endlessly battling to people
who have never been there. 1t Is, more
over, puzzling in some measure not olly to
occasional visitors, but likewise to persons
who have lived in Britain all their lives
including the British! In consequence We
suspect the large American audience for
English literary products, which has never
been able to make head or tail of illusions
to the Kings currency, will lead the ap-
plause for a conservative member of the
house of commons.
He has proposed that the traditional
pounds, shiIings and pence be abandoned
In favor of some form of decimal coinage
such as almost every other country long
ago adopted. Most persons have enough
difficulty with money, even when it is ex-
pressed in multiples of ten, but this finan-
cial problem is greatly complicated when
they have to remember that four farthings
make penny, II pennies make shilling
and 20 shillings make pound.
The visitor soon discovers that whereas
Tor convenience there is coin called a
haf-erown, which represents two. and a
hah shllhngs, or approximately so cents in
American money, he never sees crown,
and indeed the British have no unit in cir
cqlation between the half-crown and the
1O-shilling note, which ordinarily is worth
a little less than $3.50. But they do have
another CON. ealledSthe florin, which is
worth abost 10 cents less than the half
crown, being the equivalent of two shil
lings, and which is constantly being con
fused with the slightly larger Coins some
times even by the British themselves.
