NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE PRESIDENT SHOULD WELCOME THIS

1t is clear that the present congress is going to
display markedly more Independent mind than
has been its habit during the preceding years of
the Roosevelt administration.
That is to say that the lawmaking body proposes
to do some thinking for itself and to take such ac-
ton as its own Judgment would dictate instead of
merely sitting over in it's chambers and waiting
until messages and measures were thrown in its
lap by White House emiSSarieS.
On the face of it, this may appear to be an at
tempt to Shunt the president from the picture, and
there will be friends of the latter who no doubt.
will resent this intrusion" of congress into the
realm Of doing its own thinking and taking its own
orders.
But the president himself should really welcome
this evidence of greater independence on the part
of congress.
In the first place. by assuming more of its own
authority. congress will be held the more rcspon-
sble by the people either for the help or harm Of
its policies in the future.
In the second place the president Sorely needs
the counsel, wisdom and cooperation of the prac-
teal minds in the congress to assist him in carving
for the country back out of the CncOmpaSSing
and embarrassing jams that now prevail.
1t is encouraging to see symptoms of the preS-
dents willingness to pull together with congress 10
this end to have that body accept more of the
burden of guiding the policies of the adminStra
tion-an evidence that the White House is being
divorced from much of the impractical and the
orisc advice of the acknowledgement brain-trust
erS and more intimately linking head and hand and
heart with the members of congress, the reprcSen.

WHILE THE SOUTH SLEEPS

The South sleeps while its chains are being
forged. Beguiled by the Establishments of plausible
federal purse bearers who have been among them
during the past -four years. and who arc still
among them, the people of the South are unwit-
tingly surendering their brthright for mess of
pottage And unless they can be awakened TO the
true situation, unless they can be organized effec-
lively and aroused to fighting pitch, unless they can
be marshalled into competent force to battle for
q freer country and freer world there are dark
days ahead for them and for America. An aroused
South could yet save this nation from the fate
which will surely befall it, if the progressive de-
struction of its liberties is not checked in time.
What the South needs, what America needs, what
the world needs today is an angry reputation OF
the hateful doctrines of coercion and revival of
the enthusiastic zeal for the methods of freedom.
An aroused South could lead the American people
back to sanity and to a reawakened sense OF their
historic mission in the world the apostles Of
freedom. 1t could become an organized minority
acting in the interest of all America because IN
fighting for their own rights and their own hbcr-
ties they would be struggling for restoration OF
the traditional liberties of the nation. Is such an
awakening amCag the people of the South still pos.
sible? Frankly, we do not know. The influence Of
the federal pursebearerS among them is very great.
But the effort to arouse them is worth attempting.

HOAXED BY PROMISES

Representative Martin Dies of Texas, opposing
the administrations wage-hour BILL appealed to the
house to stop humbugging the working classes
with promises that going to lift them out OF
the mire by legislative decree"
And at almost the same time, in Detroit, James
V. Gibn, we'll known tax authority from New
York, was telling a luncheon meeting of the De-
troit board of commerce, that business is being
hoaxed by government tax relief promises, and
instead of relief faces higher taxes"
1t is most unfortunate situation indeed when
both business and labor lose confidence in the
promises and intentions of the government which
they have placed in power.
That seems to be the situation at the moment,
as far business is concerned and Representative
Dies remark anent the wage-hour bill, which an
important section of organized labor does not want
indicates waning faith in that quarter.
The pressure for tax legislation which is being
exerted upon congress from within simply means
that many of these legislators are sensing the pub
lie attitude and realize what the consequences may
be if they do not put through some legislation to
restore business confidence by making at least a
start in the direction of relief from increasing
burden of the cost of government.-Rock HILL 5.

CAUSE For OPTIMISM

Those who have been looking at the future
through dark colored glasses as they note with
anxiety the present temporary slump in business,
now have good cause for optimism.
Practically every man of any standing in the
industrial world who has been interviewed by
newspapers and press associations of late, has said
there is no cause for alarm and that affairs are
shaping for renewal Of commercial activities.
Henry Ford, automobile magnate terms the recess
sion in business as artificial" and described 1t as
"a pause before another climb"
The accord which has apparently been reached
between President Roosevelt and leading utility
heads, is also encouraging, due to the fact that
the big utility corporations have professed to be
ready and eager to go forward with an expansion
program involving billions of dollars of expendl-
lures, as soon as assurances were given that the
government does not intend to put them out of
business with hydroelectric plants operated at fed
eral expense.
It is to be hoped that congress will proceed
promptly with remedial legislation designed to cor
rect mistakes in existing business tax laws. How
ever, the outlook in this respect is discouraging,
due to various factiona fights over the ant-lynch-
ing and the wage-hour measures.-Hickory Record.

WTASHINGTON.-By no stretch
" Of imagination could this Pc
Rod be called an EZRA OF good
feeling" in Washington and the
chances are that greater bitterness
lies in the month ahead.
In few sessions Of Congress have
so many names been called during
the first couple of weeks. Most
of these names are being called
behind peoples backs and some
times they're only muttered, but
they're dirty ones and seem more
and more likely to be hurled
around openly.
The depression seems 10 breed
evaporation on Capito! Hill, per-
hapS because no one knows what
10 do about it. Members find
themselves able to get unusually
nasty over a farm or wage-hcur
bill and of course The anti-lynch-
ing bill, which always produces
hotter, meaner jnterchanges OF
personal scorn than any other, has
been under debate in the Senate
When "the senator from New
York" was being accused of
prompting the anti-lynching bill
as a vote-getting expedition into
the Harlem "black belt" Senator
ROYAL S. Copeland of New York
arose to point out that the junior
senator from New York, Robert
F. Wagner and not Copeland was
meant.
1.-THE senior senator from New
York has already been on vote
getting expedition" pointed out
Senator Sherman Minton OF In
diana in what was an especially
mean dig, considering the wallop-
ING which Copeland took in both
the Republican and Democratic
mayoralty primaries in New York
But the really extraordinary
thing about Minton's crack is to
be found in the fact that Minton
is the Senate's assistant Demo
cratic. whip. Actually he is the
real whip, since the title OF whip
is held by the venerable J. Ham

of winter thermometer, desire
for weather instrument that

mercury tube in cold weather.
Mr.. Coleman arose; went about
his early morning chores in doors
as well as out, and while the fam
ily commented on the GOODNESS OF
the weather he said he had just
looked at the thermometer and
the weather actually wasn't cold.
He drove to town, believing that
it wasn't very cold. People COM
mentcd on the coolest morning Of
the season everywhere he went.
The weather psychology finally
worked even though his thcrmom-
eter didn't, and he went home
about TO freeze to death. He ex-
amined his thermometer and was
reminded that last summer when
it was very hot he made n hot
weather thermometer out of 1t by
pointing the markings, making an
error of 10 degrees in favor OF
hot weather. Moral: If you want

THE HOME TOWN AND SECTION
FIRST


all the interests of the town and its terri
tory is open to the people who reside in
the area. II is based on loyalty to the home
town and section and constant and consis-
tent efforts TO improve conditions and make
permanent progress. in addition TO doing
all that is possible TO improve ones indl-
vidual position and condition.
II the people who live in Hendersonville
and the HenderSonville territory are sue
cessful in advancing their own section, in
developing its resources, in making it pros
porous. it is certain they will thereby make
the greatest possible contribution to the
welfare of the State and nation.
SO there is no spirit of narrowness or
selfshnesS at bottom of course which
dedicates the citizenship of community
or section primarily to local interests and
to the upbuilding of the citizens own town
and section.
This newspaper urges, therefore, rs has
always been its policy, devotion to the in
terests of Hendersonville and Henderson
county on the part of all who are citizens.
If the possibilities of this section are to be
realized this result will come through the
efforts of our own residents. People will
come from the outside and will bring
money here and spend it. These people
and their cash will be welcomed and they
will make a large contribution to the ad-
vancement and success of our town and
county; but, first, last and all the time, let
it be remembered that the foundation of
the progress and prosperity of the section
is in the permanent citizenship of the area.
Are YOU citizen of Henderson county?
Keep your eyes, ears and mind open to
OPPORTUNITIES to support the progress OF
your section. That will advance your own
interests and the interests of your neigh
bors. In addition, be good nelghbor to
the people of adjoining and surrounding
sections. We do not desire to build wall
around our town and county, in our rela-
tons with the people of neighboring coun-
ties in our mountain country. Such has
never been the spirit of the people of Hen
derson county. They have always mani
tested liberal and friendly spirit toward
the citizens of other counties and sections.
Let our people support whenever and
wherever possible, home industries, enter
prises, businesses of every characterized
this be done first of all-and, then, what
ever we have that can be consistently
turned into channels that will help our
neighbors, let us be sincerely interested in
making that contribution to their advance
ment and prosperity.
Good business practices should begin at
home-in the individuals management of
his personal affairs-and should extend
into the community and into the widening
circle of the State and country. 1t is good
business to improve ones own condition;
it is equally good business to take that
course which will aid in prospecting ones
neighbors.
In our own town and county we are
primarily interested in building bigger
and better Hendersonvlle and Henderson
county. We can accomplish that purpose
through the policy of standing together
and standing by the home town and sec
ton in all business and commercial enter
prises.
