MARION NEWSPAPER CELEBRATES
FORTIETH YEAR

The Marion Progress is celebrating forty
wears of service in that town and the coun-
tv of Mcdowell. The Progress is an out
standing weekly newspaper. S. E. Whit
ten, who came from Greenville, Tenn, in
1902 to accept employment with The DEM
ocrat, predecessor of The Progress, has
been sole owner of the paper for around
thirty years and has made marked sue
cess of the enterprise.
The Marion Progress succeeded The Nc
Dowell Democrat, a newspaper established
in 1896 by E. H. and C. E. House, Marion
residents who came to the town from
Scranton, Pa Thus it is the record that the
newspaper business in Marion and Mellow
ell has been for forty years promoted and
developed by able newspaper men from
other States. The efforts of these gentle
men won the approval of Mcdowell coun-
ty people and The Marion Progress is now
one of the most firmly established and
prosperous weekly newspapers IN the
mountain region.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
CHANGING JUDICIAL DECISIONS

There's no trouble at all falling in line with
+be badness of the glad Gastonia Gazette that
Judge ]. Will Pless, presiding over court IN the
canita of CASTOR had this to say in regard TO note
and Darkroom judicial DEGREES:
..Wben sentence defendant, that is the eno.
There are not going to be private star-chamoer SEES
;ons with LAWYERS at the hotel regarding their Gil
ons The place to transact court business is IN TINS
courtroom and that's where it's going to be DONE
will he Glad to mingle socially with members OF
tho bar and discuss any other subject with them
from politics on down, but this is the only place
court cases will be discussed-right here IN 'i'e
courtroom"
It is obvious that the statement OF policy on Vhe
part of this jurist is in line with simple Judlcia
Righteousness.
Not necessarily follow limitations that II other
iurists of the state making 1t practlce 10
change their decisions after such private CONFER
Gees questionable morality is involved but 1t would
at least amount to questionable expediency IN such
case.
The Gazette outlines the procedure that, IN Its
Judgment has been all too common:
"How familiar are some of us with the other
type of Judge, who can be persuaded to change
the sentences after last minute consultation with
lawyers and families! Often in years past defend
ants have had their sentences changed or cut down
and the public knew nothing about it for weeks
until it leaked out accidentally Many of these con-
ferences were held after court adjourned or in low
tones across the bench or bar, and the pubic did
not know what going on"
Conceivably judges may wish to revoke their
own judgments in some matters. They may con-
cude such to be their duty in the premises.
The laity can easily imagine situation in which
the presiding court officer in case in which emo
tionalisms have prevailed has, on the spur OF the
moment and because of the contagion of environ
ment, passed sentence which, in more detached
moment, may occur to him out of line.
But even in such rare instances as such con-
ceivabe episode as that the changed decision should
always be proclaimed from the bench and IN full
hearing of the public concerned and with full avail
ability for publicity through usual channels.
Judge Pless may not be setting precedent by
anv means, but so far he is concerned, ne IS
thus mapping out for himself highly commend
able course of judicial Observation-Disclosures OBJ

more time he will have to accu-
iffulate armies, navies, air forces,
offensive alliances and other fight
ing equipment. The League of
Nations fumbled its great oppOr-
tunity to chop ,Mussolini off at the
ground at that time when his at
tack on Ethiopia was not going so
well.
THE EXPLANATION
A man who was election judge
in a precinct telephoned me and
said. 81 caught a man walking out
of the polling place with a ballot
in his hand. | took the ballot away
from him and looked at it. 1t was
unmarked.
81 asked the man why he was
going away from the polls with
the ballot and he explained rather
incoherently that he had not made
I'D his mind exactly how he was
going to vote. Now what do you
suppose that man was going to do
with that ballot"
That is an easy one: Somewhere
in the immediate vicinity of that
polling place was a room in wNch
was ensconced a political ringster.
The man with the unmarked bal
lot had come from that room.
When he had gone to the room in
the first place he was handed a
marked ballot by the ringster.
"Put this ballot in your pocket"
instructed the ringster, "and go
over there to the polls and tell
them you want to vote.
"They will give you a ballot.
Go into one of the booths. Put
the ballot they give you into your
pocket. Take out of your pocket
this marked ballot l have given
you. Go out of the booth and
drop it into the ballot box. Bring
back to me the unmarked ballot
they give you and | will give you
dollar for it.

ious eXpedient the political ring

nately ambitious. He is danger
Gus threat to the peace and the
security of all nations.
England and France are max
ing feeble, foolish little attempts
Ito conciliate Mussolini. Mussolini's
disconcerting attitude toward
England, France and certain 9TH
er nations is not caused by antag-
onism, but by a definite policy.
Mussolini intends to be Boss Of
Europe. He intends that Rome
shall again be Mistress of the
World with himself Master of
Rome.
To try to win Mussolini over
from a state of hostility by shift
| ing a war vessel from this port to

that is like trying to get on the
sa fe side of a man-eating tiger
| by giving him picture card to
| take home to his wife. Mussolini
has nothing against anybody. He
is simply on his way to an objec-
tive and he means to reach it.

lMussolini sometime. The longer
the whipping is postponed the
harder he will be to whip-the

THESE POLITICAL WALKERS"

Mon, Dea1 snokesmen are shooting at prominent
Doroocrats who have 'taken walk because of
b; onnostion TO the policies of the Roosevelt ad-
administration. These walkers have been, and are,
in the open.
Can this be said for those who walked" from
the Democratic national platform of 1882! Dlo
they forewarn the American people that they IN
tended to repudiate the platform and the party's
pledges?
A motley crew is operating the Democratic ma
tiona party. Some of the bright stars have taken
walks" from the Republican party. Why should the
American people believe that this crew intends to
honor the Philadelphia platform?
1t is less that the walkers" have left the Demo-
cratic party than that the high command OF the
Democratic party has chosen to leave them. The
party's high command was pledged to balance the
federal budget, to cut down federal expenditures,
to preserve sound currency at all hazards to
undo things the Hoover regime had done.
As candidate for the presidency four years ago
Mr. Roosevelt denounced the Hooverian slogan OF
banishing poverty from the land but just that is
what the New Deal itself is promising. The New
Deal has swung far from historical Democratic
principles. .......
The prominent Democrats who have taken walks
can point to Mr. Roosevet's own advice to electors
that they should be independent in their support OF
candidates and principles. The New Deal has en-
couraged Republican walkers like Norris, LaFol-
1otte Iekes. with enthusiasm. Are the walkers
from the New Deal adventures and experiments
less patriotic?

voice may influence the trcnu %
events for decades.
Already it is common talk that
the c. l. O., if it lives, will be
the nucleus fora strong labor or
farmer-labor party in 1910. .
For this year. however, there is
a close alliance between John
Lewis and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Lewis sat in at the White House
on the Democratic platform plank
for labor.
In Washington and in PennsyI-
vania, Lewis, who is nobody's
humble lieutenant, is using the
Democratic politicians. And they
are using him. New Deal strate-
gistS think they have fine chance
in Pennsylvania.
Steel, pitching the key for Big
Business in its relations with Ia
Dor, is the outstanding target of
those who would translate Roose-
Evelt's attacks on economic roy
alists' literally and specifically
NEVERTHELESS, Roose velt
~ wants no steel strike before
November. Neither, apparently
does Lewis. There is some fear
that the industry will precipitate
Ihostilities, not only for political eff
feet, but in the hope of strangling
the organization drive in its in
fancy.
Nor does Roosevelt want to see
complete split between c. I. o.
and the craft unions, for there is
reason to fear that many right
wingers in the labor movement
might then turn against him.
The c. l. o. is the heart and
soul of Labor's Non-Partisan
League, which, under George
Berry, is now signing up cestral
labor unions over the country to

MACHINES MAN BUILDS MAY TURN
AGAINST HIM
(By BRUCE CATION

Col Charles A. Lindbergh's speech on
aviation in Berlin was SOLDERING reminder
of the fact that the race acquires tremen-
dous new responsibilities every time II
makes a conquest over the realm of mani
mate matter.
It invents the airplane and frees itself
from the old limitations of time and space
in a way that people of an earlier genera
ton could not have dreamed OF. But at
the same time this new invention increases
to an appalling degree, the races power
for sheer destruction, it changes the whole
character of war and, as Col. Lindbergh
points out, does away with defense.
GAS l travel over Europe" said Colonel
Lindbergh, II am more than ever I'M
pressed with the seriousness OF the sltua-
tion which confronts us. When l see that
within day or two damage can be done
which no time can ever replace, l begin to
realize that we must look for new type
of security"
All of which is to say that new adj
vance in the mechanical arts, device like
the airplane for instance, is a double-edged
tool. 1t can be used both ways-to make
II easier for the races of men to get along
together on this troubled planet, or to
make it harder.
And unless we get so that we can dis
play as much wisdom in using new tools OF
this kind as we did in devising them, we
are very apt to rue the day that we ever
heard of them.
Colonel Lindbergh's own careeriis case
in point. When he flew alone from New
York to Paris he gave US one of the most
spiritually uplifting experiences OF the
century.
There was something about that exploit
which made eternally visible the triumph
of the dauntless spirit of man over hos
tile environment; as his silvery plane cir
cled over Paris in the dusk, all OF us shared
in that triumph and were uplifted.
But you need only turn that flight OF his
inside out to get a clear picture OF the SORT
of thing he was talking about in Berlin the
other day.
Suppose there is a war. Over the sea
come other planes - whole flights ana
souadrons of them, this time, with swollen
egg sacs of bombs in their bellies. Each
plane is flown with all the skill and mdl'
yidual bravery of that first lone flight; but
when they circle over Paris-or London, OF
New York, or Berlin-at the end, they pro
vide no uplift of spirit for anyone,
Instead, they rain down death ana ue'
struetion. As Colonel Lindbergh says, III
few moments they destroy things that car
never be replaced. And the sunlight tna
olints on their wings signalizes the folly o.
q race which has the mechanical skill t'
commit hari-kari and lacks the sense 10 re
frain from doing it.
Roth of these flights come out Oh tn'
same egg. The Wright brothers beque
ed them to us when they took their SILK
and-ban1boo crate into the air at hlc''
Hawk. AS Colonel Lindbergh says oul
only security henceforth lies IN lntell
gence.
Unless we can bring to the use OF air
planes the same intelligence that went into
the inventing and perfecting of them, W.
face a dark future.
