NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
comMENDs SENATOR REYNOLDS

The Saturday Evening Post In its issue OF August
Sth commends Senator Robert R. Reynolds of this
state and Representative Starnes of Alabama tor
their fight against the Kerr Coolidge bill. We quote
in part the editorial comment of that publication
s'The nation owes debt of gratitude to two
southern legislators for their valiant and success
full fight against the Kerr-Coeldge bill; namely,
Senator Reynolds of North Carolina, and Repre-
sentative Starnes of Alabama. .., <.css
The purpose of this measure, to paraphrase. the
remarks of Mr.. Starnes, to legalize Illegal en-
tries of immigrants and to permit aliens who are
not now eligible for citizenship to become eligible
for citizenship 1t would condone the deliberate
violation of our immigration laws and would re-
ward that violation by comforting the rights OF
American citizenship upon aliens who are not now
entitled to it.
The immigration question is one that should be
solved primarily for the benefit of the country at
large and the laws we enact should be framed to
protect the working standards, the social and hv-
ing conditions the economic life and the political
structure of our own land rather than to benefit
European populations.
The Kerr Coolidge bill was from its inception,
backed by the Department of Labor and the Com
missioner of Immigration 1t naturally would be,
way toward relieving them of the charge that they
have been taking it upon themselves to ignore ex-
sting laws and to balk at making the deportations
required by them. Employees of the Department of
Labor, notably the Commissioner OF immigration,
have been making speeches favoring the passage
of the bill that would give them discretionary pow
ers they do not now possess. Senator Reynolds ex-
amined the statements of the commissioner and
branded them as "erroneous and misleading"
He went on to say, according to the Congression-
al Record: 81 getting sick and tired of the pres
ent commissioner running about the country from
border to border coast to coast and resort to re-
sort making statements that cannot be substantial
ed by the facts and casting slurs upon members of
congress by publicly asserting that those of who
not in accord with his views merely play
ing politics. We have enough unemployment
and enough public charges; and enough radicals,
and enough criminals, and enough lawbreakers, and
enough communists without allowing not only an
other one to enter but to justify the prompt de-
portation of every such alien charlottesville

IDLE GOSSIP CAN BECOME A REALITY

Those in charge of the "Save Junaluska Cam
paign" found at the last minute that the required
$105,O00 needed to pay the first mortgage was
short about $22 OOO The extension of 16 addition
al days, which gives until September 1st for the
S22, 900 to be raised, proves that the mortgage
holders are only interested in getting their money
instead of the property.
Certainly the thousands of Methodists in the
South who benefit from the advantages of Lake
Junaluska will not let mere $4,000 stand in the
way of losing the Lake.
We feel that the mortgage holders have gone as
far can be expected of them in voluntarily Civ
ing 16-day extension. 1t proves they are inter
ested in only one thing that of getting their
money. Ever since the campaign was started, gos-
sping tongues have spread rumors that the mort
gage holders were seeking by every hook or crook
to get the property back because some other de-
nomination had offered fabulous sum for the
holdings. Other rumors have been that syndicate
amusement company had entered attractive bids fol
the place. and that "The Coney Island of the South
would be built at the Lake"
The action of the mortgage holders proves be-
yond any doubt that such rumors were of the wild
est nature. The mortgage holders have done thei'
part and have done even more than was legally
required.
Now if the Methodists of the South fail to raise
the needed $22 900 to pay off the debt, the sympa
thetic mortgage holders would have perfect right
to make reality out of the stories that thus tal
has been mere idle gossip.-Waynesville Noun

MAY LEAD TO FASCISM

Lemke's Union Party is being attacked by Nor
man Thomas, Socialist candidate fol-, president, as
"he sort of thing which in Europe has led to Fas-
cism and may do the same thing in America"
The Lemke program, Thomas asserts, in many
ways resembles the early programs of Hitler and
Mussolini.
And that, in Norman Thomas opinion means
danger for America. Something like the pot calling
the kettle black we'd say, but at the same time de-
manding serious attention.
The various radical movements of the day bring
sharply to us the question whether the social,
nomc and political conditions of the country, with
which they all claim to find serious and vital fault,
really demand any of the revolutionary political
changes which their party programs call for.
And that, of course, goes for Norman Thomas
and his party, as well as for Lemke and the Union
Party, of which Mr.. Thomas warns US as threat
to our American democracy.
Our own opinion is that we need most to steer
well away from all the fantastic and revolutionary
schemes which are being proposed to bring about
a supposed Utopian condition in America in place
of the social and political order under which we
have come up to the political position and the high
standard of living which we now maintain.-Rock

CIVILIZATION DISCLAIMS ANCIENT
BLOOD LUST
(Rv BRUCE CATION


If all Americans were to be judged oy
the kind of bizarre, blood-thirsty crowds
tbatchave been congregating at the scenes
of major crimes and public executions, we
certainly would classify as a morbidly muir
derous sort of people.
For a time it appeared that we mad
reached an all-time low in the Hauptmann
case. The public's behavior in New Jersey
the night Bruno Richard Hauptmann paid
his price for the murder of the Lindoergh
baby resembled nothing more closely than
the terchlight frivolity of the old-time po-
htissl rally. But that, apparently, wasn't
our worst.
!It-seems now that Americans reached
their gorieSt height Cor depth) the other
dav down at Owensboro, KY, where,
amidst the overtones of carnival merry
making, $4,000 people saw a 22-year-old
Negro plunge to his death from the gal
lows for the murder of a 7O-year-old wo-
man.
Surely the most sanguinary of the Ro-
man holidays couldn't have eclipsed this
scene. Wrote United Press eye-witnesser,
Frank Leary:
i.'The crowd was in holiday mood. Only
a,moment before the arrival of the Negro
from. Louisville, vendors of hot dogs and
lemonade shouted their wares. In some OF
Owensboro's homes all night hanging par
tiesIwere in progress, beer and sandwiches
ThmO,,nb inbt
crowd mad swarmed the streets =. But it
Was not ill-natured or violent. 1t appeared
to be enjoying a 'hangman's holiday"
Then came the execution. Continues
Leary:
1.-THE crowd, pressing tightly around the
gallows, was not disorderly, but only out
for good time. Fifty per cent of them
we're from out of town-sensation seekers
from Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky.
Many children, including young babies,
were carried on the shoulders of parents
who had stayed up all night"
After the trap was sprung, few in the
group, swarming over the execution scene,
tried to seize the black death cap. Deputy
SRerltfS, however, held pack the souvenir
hunters The show was over! . g..
Here was spectacle to shock the ma
ton. 1t was the sort of aboriginal affair
carried out by few thousands, that casts
irreparable reflection on the entire coun
try.

handle their necessary vindications OF th'

seine like that at Owensboro belongs tt

Dear Mr.. Editor:
May | express an opinion about
our much maligncd election laws.
: Annulment Of the absentee ballot
would disfranchise thousands of
! our most intelligent and most
loyal citizens. Not to mention
many travellers whose business
may urgently demand their pres
ence elsewhere on election day,
nv thoughts and sympathy turn
chiefly to that grand army of edu-
Gators, teachers in the public
schools, who would often have to
forego their supposedly inalien-
able electoral rights. Then, too,
a surprisingly large per cent of
our population, intillegent and
ignorant, are always confined in
hospitals Or at home and should
not for this cause be denied the
right to vote.
Furthermore, probably more
corruption is practiced through
those who actually attend the polls
than through absentees. Ward
heelers, official markers and care
less counters are probably respon-
sible for the miscarriage of many
more voters than is the absentee
ballot law.
Election officials should be ap-
pointed with an eye aimable to
honor and justice and fairness
rather than for their shrewdness
and ability to mislead and mis-
count. Certainly more safeguards
should be thrown around the bal
lot-box on all sides, but disfran-
{ chisement of so many sensible
voters, never!

Constructive Suggestions or
Complaints: Which Get Results!

There are two ways Of accom-
plishIng things which one has to get
done. One Is to complain that things
are not as they should be. The 9TH
er IL to make constructive sugges-
lions and request that they be fol-
lowed out. The first method Is apt
to annoy the person conferred with.
The second appeals to his sense of
Justice, and, II the suggestion Ii
good one and within reason, It Is
generally needed. Assuming that, In
both cases the thing gets done, In
the first instance, annoyance pre-
walls, while In the second, good will
Is fostered. You will remember the
old adage that you can catch more
dies with molasses, than vinegar. In
other words you can get more accom-
plished by keeping good tempered
and sweet, than by getting annoyed
and sour tempered.
Getting Things Accomplished.
1t Ia we'll to remember these meth
DDS for family use, and for civic pur-
poses. It does not mean that one
can get things done merely by being
good natured. There must be a
plus to 1t. There must be continual
effort In the right direction. until the
point is won. And when there has
been no hard feeling created, and
the matter is seen to, there Is likely
to be feeling of satisfaction on the
side OF both parties. each being
pleased that a good thing has re-
suited.

cd that woman succeeded In get
