Ecce homo! - Hayward. Ecce
homo! - Padbury! Both men of
many fascinations, of exceptional
advantages and rare powers, who
feel they are eminently fitted to
think for the entire Negro popula-
ton of the whole Northwest. Large
minded men, with liberal views, in
a generous and most magnanimous
fashion, strip themselves of all per-
sonal obligations and duties and
with perfect abandon unto the will
of God, boldly advance upon the
sacrificial altar of this 100000 ex-
IRENE shadowy form of uncertain
visibility - this mirage, this illu-
sion born of vanity; this One-hun-
dred-thousand dollar refuge for the
lame, the halt, the blind, the deaf,
the dumb the crippled, motherless,
fatherless, old-aged homeless, and
every condition Negroes are now
in, or may hereafter become af-
flicted.
To what degree is this a fair
weather enterprise? For our friend
Hayward we can only say, for
quite awhile he has been roaming
upon the waters of religious I'M
certainties without anchor or port,
dreaming idle dreams and emitting
ghost recitals of various foibles,
given out as gospel to the less in
formed, unsuspecting bait nibblers.
Our friend Padbury = the phar-
maceutic gentleman for whom
we are indeed very sorry, we firm
ly believe his truly generous heart
coupled with mind visioning the
near approach of a political cam
paign induced him into thought
less streak of recklessness to
which, under normal conditions, he
would give more serious consider
alton and thorough investigation
OF the WnOle matter.
In an endeavor to find out the
number of Negroes in this section
for which such an institution, as
proposed by its promoters, would
be available it is only necessary to
glance at government figures CIV
en- by the census for 1880, giving
the total for seven states. There
may today be slight increases in
these figures, but we doubt the
change will make a great differ
ence that would alter the need in
this present state.
To our mind any very great de-
mand for such an extensive pro-
ject as is proposed by the Hay
ward-Padbudy combine should, at
least be representative of a Wash
ington contingent commensurate
with its preponderance of popula-
ton. Of course we know this in
FAINT monstrosity will die "abornin,'
but hardly before some suckers are
filched for the cost of flowers to
lay upon it's grave and a tomb
stone with the inscription, we hope
bearing these words, 1.-THE Hay
ward-Padbury Follies of 1885," Or
perhaps it may go on and on into
the realm of "gimmy, gimmy," in
perpetuum, for the benefit of it's
promoters.

THE National Labor Relations
l. Board struck one little-ob-
served blow for fair fighting, in
the CatlettSburg case.
The CIO complaint contended
the American Rolling Mill Com
pany was unfair to labor, for
one reason, because it urged the
election of city candidates in
Ashland who were unSympa-
thetic with labor.
This complaint was made by
the organization which contrib
uted the bulk of Mr.. Roosevelt'S
last campaign fund. The posi-
ton of CIO attorneys was that
it was all right for labor to have
its own candidates, but a crime
for employers to oppose them.
The labor board knocked out
the complaint, ruling that this
is not the law yet.
They say MI. Roosevelt visited

ending May 81, spent $30,436.
The Du Points are still financing
it largely through loans and
gifts. Main activity is research
on New Deal acts, conducted by
capable former newsman Arthur
Crawford.

Vote-Getting

DOLTT1COs believe their votes

but they might learn a lesson

Bob Reynolds of North Carolina.
During the recent primary
campaign Reynolds stopped at
wide place in the road for gaso-
line. There were a few houses
around-11 votes in all. Reyn-

RADIO AND THE NEWS

We are profoundly American in our in
herent belief in the right of free speech,
freedom of wor.hip and freedom of the
press, but we do not approve of such ter
rorizing broadcast as was sponsored by the
Columbia Broadcasting System last Sun
day night.
Disguished as news broadcast" Orsen
Welles cleverly dramatized H. C. Wells
story of "The War of the Worlds and
spread mass hysteria throughout the ma
ton, with the story that space-devouring
hoardes from Mars were destroying many
cities in the United States
Broadcasting "spot news" has become
regular service of the radio and the public
has placed deal of confidence in the news
bulletins and flashes, but the Sunday night
episode, promoted with the expressed view
of stimulating news broadcasts" will seri-
ously injure that public confidence.
We do not advocate federal control over
the radios news broadcasts, but it seems to
us that the radio system should realize
more fully its great responsibility and
obligation to the public.
Commissioner George Henry Payne, of
the federal radio commission, made some
rather timely observations when he re-
marked: "People who have material broad
cast into their homes without warnings,
have a right to protection. Too many
broadcasters have insisted that they could
broadcast anything they liked, contending
that the we're protected by the prohibition
of censorship. Certain when people are in
jured morally, psychically, spiritually and
physically, they have just as much right to
complain as if the law against obscenity
and indecency were violated"
Newspaper men realize the seriousness
of the responsibility that rests upon them
and if radio wants to remain free from
censorship and federal control it must also
realize and accept this responsibility to the
public.

PREVENTING FOREST FIRES

The devastating forest fires near Blow
ing Rock and Wytheville this week empha-
size anew the vast Importance of prevent
ing such destructive flames.
Forest fires destroy two of the mountains
most valuable assets, timber and scenery.
We have witnessed the effects of the fires.
We have seen beautiful wooded areas
burned over, leaving desolation and the
way open for gulleys. Locust trees fine
timber, oaks and hickory, pines and gums,
all gone and in their place has been left
CALLED land.
"The Park lands are very narrow, especi-
ally so when compared with other Nation
al Park lands. The very fact that it is so
narrow makes it still more important to
save it from fire, its worst enemy. We have
worked out plans for fighting fires and
have men working along the entire length
of the Parkway who are trained to
fight and, what is more important, to pre-
vent fires" it was stated in the last issue of
the Parkway News.

The move to organize an Ashe County
building and Loan Association is one of the
most worthy and progressive undertakings
that has been started here in some time and
we do not hesitate to endorse it and to urge
our citizens to help put it over.
building and loan association is not
only safe and sound institution in which
to invest money and to receive a good re-
turn on the investment, but also such an
organization provides definite, tangible
way by which homes and business
houses can be erected and community can
grow more rapidly
These associations encourage and pro-
mote the building of homes and enable in
dividuals with small incomes or limited
resources to build and own their own
homes over period of time.
Their operation does not interfere with
regular function of other financial institu-
tons, such as commercial banks. They are
organized and operated under state laws
for the expressed purpose of promoting
building and homeownership.
The stock is nOn-taXable and the funds
can only be invested in first mortgages,
United States and state bonds During the
last depression, the building and loan asso-
Citations weathered the financial storms bet
ter than most any other classification of
financial institutions and most of them paid
dividends regularly through that period of
stress and uncertainty.
: In Boone it is estimated that two-thirds
of the homes there have been built through
the Watauga Building and Loan Associa-
ton. The building progress made in North
Wilkesboro and other towns and cities in
the state has been due, in large measure,
to building and loan associations.
There is great need for such an organ
ization in the Jeffersons and Ashe county.
We commend the promoters and wish them
every success in putting it across.

Absentee Ballot
Argument Quoted
Grant Bauguess Given Privi-
lege Of Seeing Absentee
Record Book.

Coleman Payne, chairman of
the Ashe county board of cleo
tons, started posting during the
past week the names of persons
applying for absentee ballots, in
an absentee record book and
Grant Bauguess, chairman of the
Republican Executive Committee,
was given the privilege of check
ing all names listed in the book.
The first of the week, applica-
lions from 277 persons had been
entered in the book and its es-
timated that the number will in
crease a great deal this week.
During the last general cleo
ton, Zeb Gambill stated yester-
day there were around 1900 alb
sentee ballots cast.
Mr.. Bauguess had contended
that there were over 1000 cast,
the most of which were Demo-
cratic. He said he thought many
of them were not legal ones and
wanted to check again on them'
and that's why he was anxious
to get the list of the previous
election.
