Editor The Times-News,
Dear Sir:
l am glad you are willing to
publish in your newspaper that
the IVA is not going to build a
dam across the French Broad
River at Bent Creek, and feel
sure this news will add many
thousands of dollors to Hender-
sonville and Henderson county.
And l want to thank the Board
of County Commissioners for the
able way they have handled this
matter in reaching the iva
through Senator Bailey.
And | desire to express my ap-
probation of the letter Senator
Bailey wrote DR.. Arthur E. Nor
gan. Especially when he says,
al believe in the development Of
our water power, but | think
there are reasonable limitations
and that there are instances in
which the rights of the people in
the locality affected ought to be
safeguarded." And | believe
Senator Bailey will continue to
rise in the high regard and esteem
of the Henderson county people.
Again commencing our county
commissioners for their watchful-
ness over the duties entrusted to
them, and hoping that our good
old town and county will soon get
over the injury and injustice that
has been done.
Respectfully,
T. E. OSBORNE.

dissatisfied Democrats. | do not
mean for those who arc implac-
ably opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt or
who have finally made up their
minds to oppose the present adj
ministration, no matter what
changes in policy might be made.
l refer to those who wish to pre-

the present set-up and prevailing

Let them call a convention for
the purpose Of considering their
views and Of presenting them to
the President, to his advisers, and
to the members Of the Congress.
Let them meet in a spirit of con-
structive deliberation, excluding
specifically those who are merely
hostile on general grounds.
Here arc a few suggestions l
would offer for such a convention
to consider:

further Capitalization Of power at

WHEN MR.. BLUE CRIED

Man Blue laid his head down on
the table and cried.
"All day long," he sobbed, 81
have been trying to conduct this
election honestly-and you fell
lows won't let me do itw
All day long Old Man Blue had
been under a nervous strain see
ing the election deviltry that was
being put over in his precinct.
The finding" of the batch of bal
lots under the table was the straw
that broke his self-control. IN
spection of those ballots disclosed
the significant fact that each
and every one Of them was mark
ed in full for the candidates of
the political gang.
Later, when Old Man Blue was
questioned about the foregoing
story by representatives Of good
government, he admitted that it
was all true. He further said that
the rascality he had seen going
on all day long was unbelievable.
But when he was asked, in behalf
Of the cause Of decency in gov
eminent, to make an affidavit
about what had happened, he re-
fused. He said he didn't want to
get mixed up in it."
The enemies of good govern
ment do not discourage me. 1t is
the friends of good government
with their timidity and apathy
who worry me.
There is not the least doubt in
my mind that as soon as the peo-
pie deserve honest, efficient gov
eminent. they will get it.

some ballots on the floor under
the table," He dived and came up
waving a handful of ballots.
Old Man Blue, the registrar,
looked accusingly at the bench
man who had discovered" the
ballots on the floor.
"Those ballots weren't on the
floor" declared Old Man Blue.
"You jerked them from under
your coat"
There were loud protests from
all the henchmen. But, of course,
the decision rested with Old Man
Blue, registrar, and the two pre-
cinct judges. The two precinct
Judges were solemnly unanimous
in the verdict that the ballots
must have fallen from the table
to the floor. How else could they
have cot under the tablet!

"oLD HICKORY" NO DEMOCRAT

Chairman Jones of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation reports that SO per cent of $5,622,-
l53,so4 that it has lent has been repaid. Individu
ais and corporations, many of them, do pay their
debts owing to government. In that is nothing re-

for the American people that government be the
great money lender. Andrew Jackson was of con-
trary opinion but he was no Democrat by the tests

Manager Steve Cochran Of the

Waltz toOpen
ToniQht

Walking through the stage door
of the National Theatter this week
is like entering a world gone mad.
Hussars, pastry chefs, French
poodles, stage hands, tenors and
dancing girls elbow one another
in a mad riot of color, confusion
and whirling stages.
Everyone is hurled through
space at a dizzying rate by the
rush of the crowd and the pecu-
liar orbits of a revolving stage
that Is in frequent motion
throughout the performance of
The Great Waltz" The big pro-
duction opens tonight.
At first view it will all look
hopelessly confused, like a minor
cosmos in operation. Actually
everything moves in as orderly a
fashion as the most faStidiouS
coSmologist could demand. Whirl.
ing scenery. pirouetting ballerinas
and sinking sopranos revolve
themselves eventually into a con-
tinuous parade of players and
stage hands to and from their
appointed posts.
Their torturouS pathways have
all been charted in advance; the
fractions of an inch by which
they evade flying pieces of scenery
and sprinting baritoneS have all
been taken into account in a set
of maneuverS whose execution
would send any mere military
strategist back to toy cannonS
and tin soldiers.
HaSSard Short is the generals
simo of the occasion. He it is
who plotted the course f the re-
volving sets, supervised tie me-
chanicS of the production, as
signed each player his part in the
proceedings, in short, coordinated
the movements of people, proper
ties and sets so that the back
stage current at The Great
Waltz" flows as smoothly as the
Blue Danube it celebrates.
OF course a great deal Of the
scene shifting takes place in full
view of the audience. The set
tings are placed on q turntable
which revolveS them in either a
clockwise or a counter-clockwise
direction, at the will Of the ma
ninulator.
