NEWSPAPERS OPINION
BECHTLER GOLD COINS

The only privately owned mint ever to have been
run in this county, was operated at one time in
Rutherford county and attention To the coinage OF
gold by the Bachtler family is called to mind in the
current issue of The State Magazine Of Raleigh.
The Star personally knows Ambrose Bechtler,
who lives in the lower part of Cleveland near Earl.
He is perhaps the only descendant Of this famous
family Of goldsmiths living in Cleveland county
In 1880 christopher Bechtcr and his non Angus
tus, skilled German metallurgisla. came to this
country and settled in Rutherford county, At thai
time the only government mint was in riladeiphia
too great a distance and too hazardous II Journey

Rutherford at that time VAS in the center of the
United States gold mining area, Trading was lar.
gely matter of barter. Some gold dust was used
as medium of exchange, SO being experienced IN
metal work, Christopher Beehtler secured permts-
sion from the government, because Of his accurate
assays, to begin coming gold His coins were made
in denominations of $780, $3.50 and $500 and
bore his name. Little or no alloy was used in the
Bechtler coins. today these coins range IN value
from SIS to 500.
Quite a number of older people in this section
have Bechter coins in their possession and pri2e
them very highly. A few coins of his vinatgc are
in museums, while others are widely scattered
throughout the nation The press the. Bechtcrs
used in the coinage of two and quarter million
dollars in gold is on display in the Hall of Numla-
matte History in New York, while the North Car
olina Hall of History contains some of the dyes
used.
Rutherford still has gold under its ground and
much prospecting has been done within the last
two years as a consequence of the advance IN
price, but Rutherford no longer remains the gold
region of the United States.
This bit of history has often been published,
but is worth referring to again for the sake of the
young people of today many of whom are de
scendants of those carly settlers who used Bcchtler
coins as their only medium of eXchangc-Cleve~

NOW TOO LATE TO REMEDY 1T

Senator Holt (DemocraD West Virginia, ALI
nounced last night that he would demand nation
wide senatorial investigation into charges that poll
tics has entered into running of the WPA in many
states. Senator Davis (Republican) Pennsylvania,
predicted that his resolution calling for "full and
complete" investigation of WPA would be approx
ed by the senate committee on expenditures in ex-
ecutive departments this week
Well they will not have to go far in the matter
to prove the charges, we believe. And, if the
whole truth be brought to light, the revelation OF
the most prodigious waste the world has seen,
save in waging wars will be found. But what
good will Investigations do at this late day.? The
horse is already gone Union Times. ....

STATUS QUO

The liquor law is going to be left about as orig
naTy passed with few minor changes The Lepis-
lature probably thinks that not enough time has
elapsed for fair trial of tn claw and will refrain
from changes for the time being Sentiment for
prohibition in some counties at least is undoubtedly
growing, as the new law provides for more plent-
full supply of liquor, makes the stuff cheaper and
easier to get, and increases drunkenness There
can be no doubt as to any of these facts The next
logical step is local option There is no fairness
or Justice in compelling county that is against
LIQUOR to have the legalize dsale of whisky.Ches.

VTASHINGTON.-The next big
w political date is April II,
when Senator William E. Borah
and Col. Frank Knox compete in
the Republican preferential pri-
maries in Illinois.
If Borah defeats Knox in the lat.
ter's home state, a result Borah's
friends confidently predict, that
will be the end Of the Knox can
didacy for all serious purposes, and
q very big boost for the senator
from Idaho.
Illinois is the only state where
1t is yet certain that the names Of
two major candidates will go be-
fore Republican voters in such way
that the electors will be able to
make choice between them.
Its primary is divided into a
preference vote and a vote for
individual convention delegates.
There is no particular connection
USlWeSu Tic fOlSS, anu even IL one
candidate wins tremendous pref
erential victory, the delegation is
likely to be split.
=. Nevertheless, Borah will be in
b strong psychological position if
/; he obtains popular endorsement
in Illinois, Ohio, Nebraska, and
Pennsylvania - states where he
already has flled-and in other
states where he may file later.
Il
TTNWILLINGNESS of Governor
~ Landon to enter preferential
primaries against Borah has beer
attributed to the Kansan's desire
not to antagonize the senator ant
his friends, but Borah is under

Editor, The Times-News:
Please give me space to answer
my friends as to my opinion of
the governments extravaganza
and waste of the people's money.
The government is putting out or
spending too much, but the extra
vagance and waste is$done by the
people where the work, is done.
The process by which men were
to get jobs has been abused. At
this time ! will only mention two
projects. e
When the relief projects were
first begun on the road from Uno
to near Liberty church, called the
Fruitland- Clear Greek road there
was spent between $4,000 and 49,
600 to build Shoulders as the over
seels called it. The work stopped
in few months and then| the
state sent machines over the road
pulling down those shoulders.
The administration or government
did not know the moneySwas being
wasted that way.
The next project that | want to
mention is in process now in Hoop
ers Creek township leading from
just above the Hoopers Greek
church to the Buncombe county
line into Burney's mountain and
stops. 1t is claimed Buncombe
will build, the other sides sBup-
combe WON'T, do, any such thing

FRENCH TIGERS VIEW OF
ENDURING PEACE. /
Rv BRUCE CATION


lincoln Steffens has an aneedote III MS
famous Autobiography that may heIp
Won 10 understand why Europe is rushing
so madly toward war that nobody wants.
SteffenS got this anecdOte during the Fer-
sailIes treaty negotiations. ss,
Cynical old Clemenceau of France, II
seems came. up TO Wilson and Lloyd
George one day and said that, since there
had been so much. talk about peace, ne
wouId like very much TO know If they
really wished to establish an enduring, un-
breakable peace Did they, in short, mean
what they said about it?
With one accord, the other statesmen
said they did. And Steffens' story goes
on:
Every important, NJ. Clemenceau NUT
tered. as if convinced; as If the whole
prospect were changing, and his whole
policy. Very important. We can make
this permanent peace; we can remove all
the cause of war and set up no new causes
of war.
at is very. very important what yon
say, what you have so long been saying,
NJ. President. We now have the Oppor-
tunity to make a peace that will last for
ever, and the French people will be safe.
And you are's sure you propose to seize this
opportunity
'"They did, they emphatically did.
"Clemenceau clucked in his throat; he
pressed tight down the fingers of his
gloves: 'And-yOu have counted the costs
of such a peace?' he asked.
There was some hesitation at that
What costs?'
"'Well, said the French intelligence, II
we give up all future wars-if we are t.
prevent war, we must give up our empires
and all hope of empire. You, Mr.. Lloyo
George, you English will have to come Out
of India, for example; we French shall
have to come out of North Africa; and you
Americans, Mr.. President, you must gel
out of the Philippines and Puerto Rico ano
leave Cuba alone-and Mexico. ..
ooh, we can all go to these and other
countries, but as tourists, traders, travellers
we cannot any more govern them or eN
plot them or have the inside track IN then'
We cannot possess the keys to trade routes
and spheres of influence. And, ges' W.
shall have to tear down our tariff walls aht
open the whole world. to free trade ant
traffic. Those are some OF the costs o
permanent peace .. 1t is very expensive
peace"
English. premier and American presl
dent, says Steffens, looked at each ,othe
and explained that they hadn't meant u
go quite that far. And then Clemencea'
banged the table with his fist.
Then" he said, you don't mean peace
You mean war. And the time for us Frencl
to make war is now, when we have got on
of our neighbors down We shall finish hlr
and get ready for-the next wars" ~
As background staff forthis ne,Wswa
which is getting closer and closer to tn
boiling point, this little apecdote is worth
good deal of thought. 80

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Followers that nc Is the only h2-
publican candidate who is expert
enced in national affairs, has
large national following, and can
meet Roosevelt in the election
campaign on equal terms.
The popular vote the Senator
receives in primaries will indi)ate
the Importance Of a possible
Borah bolt from the party ticket.
Although anti-BOrah politicians
profess not to believe in that pos
sibility, some men who have
known and observed Borah for
long time insist that they
wouldn't be surprised if he should
bolt this year as a browning act
in Il long career Of political in
surgcncy and independence, as
Stunning that he Is neither noni-
mated nor given a voice in franz
ing the party platform. ...
s:a
DEGULAR Republicans, now
IL largely counting on Landon's
nomination, are prepared to make
some concessions to Borah as to
the platform. The question would
remain whether the concessions
would be enough to satisfy Borah,
who insists TIE party must be
rescued from Wall Street and the
Old Guard.
In 1912 Theodore Roosevelt
captured 10 state primaries and
President Taft won only Massa-
chusetts, by a tiny margin. Taft
was nominated by the Old Guard
steamroller which operated by
virtue of the patronage-bound
southern delegates.
7. Il. subsequently bolted and
led the Bull Moose party. That
was the biggest year the presi-
Dental primaries had, and they
have been declining as an infu-
ence ever since. People soon got

Editor, The Timcs-NGws:
Since reading the article on the
2nd page column l of the March
18th issue Of your paper about the
ground hog | hope you are con-
WINGED that | was right when |
wrote you my first letter back III
February when told you that
had the sign ground hog reversed
and that they had the wrong day.
So on the 14th wnen he comes
out and sees his shadow he begins
to go in and out with white:
broken. On the other hand If ne
don't sec his shadow he goes back
in his hole for AZ or more days
which passes the storm of the
equinox. Now. Valentine Day al
WAYS comes on the14t of Febru-
any, like our Christmas comes on
ne 18th Of December, and it be-
n:g & ruling day old people always
watched that day. If it was gen
orally drizzling rain or cloudy
throughout the United States they
were glad of it because they kneW
the sign was as the ground hog
saw it that day it would be rough
and cold until after the equinox
and that the sap would not rise
till spring opened after the Easter
storm.
Now you can depend on us hay
ing fruit this year if it don't frost
too heavy just after the Easter
storm. Now, where people have
got lost on ground hog day they
have got it on the 2nd instead Of
the 18th and then they have got
the sign reversed. They have it
that if he don't see his shadow the
winter is broken and he goes in
and out. In the first place they
have got the wrong day and III
the next place they take the sign
of rough weather for the sign OF
warm weather. SO ] hope you
end all editors will quit foOIing the
people with the End day and pub
lish the 1tth which you ought to
know is right.
S. J. SUMNER,

a lot of the smart alexis in Char
lotte and South Carolina are pull

his politics is it don't become no
editor to become such a smart allck
that he knows more than all the
senate members and congress
members and the president but
these critics won't. amount to
anything this time. They are not
Democrats at all and they are no
good to any country and their
barking goes to nou9ht at the
