wv ASHIN GTON -The IVA
w tempest is the latest phase Of
the old war between the private
utilities and the advocates of pub
lie power development. Person
alities and politics add both color
and heat. ...
Once again the conservative and
progressive lines are formin g
while barrage of charges and
counter charges emitS much more
smoke than fire.
Congress ami the people have a
right to know all about what goes
on in IVA. So TWAS friends are
forced to consent to an investiga-
ton promoted by Twas enemies
lest they be charged with trying
to cover up. What they fear is
that any investigation will be
dominated by would-be wreckers
of that great project. }
Chairman Arthur E. Morgan
OF IVA stands in lonely majesty
as the man whose vague and thus
far unsubstantiated charges of dis
honesty and misconduct against
his fellow directors, Vice Chair
man Harcourt A. Morgan and
David E. Lilienthal, have brought
on the tempest.
He is now at the climax of a
IVA career in which he has been
conspicuously more friendly to-
ward private power companies
than the various other high ad-
ministration officials who have to
do with electric power.
Chairman Morgan is the only
one of those officials who ever has
been publicly praised by president
Wendell Willkie Of the Common
wealth and Southern Company.
The others are now supporting
Harcourt Morgan and Lilienthal.
In the summer of 1896 Chair
man Morgan advised Roosevelt
that he would resign if Lilienthal,

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SIXTY FAMILIES"

book recently published sets up the claim that
sixty families control the wealth and the press OF
the United States. If that were true, there would
be loud and widespread camor for change IN
our whole social system. Fortunately, the aega-
ton is not true. No sixty families, no 500 or Co.,
900 families have anything like Control over
the business and the lives of the rest of us.
The mischief in such glaringly inaccurate state
ments is that when they are made with an assurnp-
ton of authority the uniformed and the unfOr-
tunate are prone to believe them They tend to
arouse class hatreds by making the less fortunate
feel that they are, somehow, being deprived OF
what is rightfully theirs because few have grab
bed off more than their share of the wealth.
There is nothing in the history of America and
American institutions to warrant any such assump-
ton. There is no ground for asserting that any
one of the Sixty families has become wealthy ex-
cept as they have increased the general wealth IN
which everybody shares. But for their enterprise
and initiative and willingness to take risks there
would be fewer industries, fewer jobs. lower aver
age incomes fewer Injuries for the average family.
Nothing could be more absurd than the implica-
ton that the ordinary American citizen, who earns
more saves more, lives better and has greater per-
sonal liberty than the ordinary citizen of any 9TH
er nation in the world, got that way because sixty
families were gobblng up all the wealth as fast as
it was created Yet that is precisely what the dem
agogues who try to make political capital out of
such charges would have us beieve.-Canton En-

MORE UNFORTUNATE LOSERS

The recent failure Of one of
the biggest and supposedly
strongest stock brokerage houses
in New York should serve to re-
mind everyone of two things
about stock trading: :.
First, even when the utmost
caution is observed there is al
ways considerable risk. Second,
this risk is increased when ones
stock trading affairs are left
longer than is necessary in the
hands of ones broker.
If you buy stocks, buy them
outright and insist on immediate
possession of them. When you sell
your stocks insist on immediate
possession of the money.
1t is easier of course to do your
stock trading by keeping an open
account with your broker, letting
him charge your account when he
buys and credit your account
when he sells. But if through mis-
management or crookedness he

TRYON MADE FRIENDS: Our

able friends. Perhaps it would be
just as appropriate to say that
many friends have made Tryon.
These friendships are often last

them was that of Sidney Lanier,
the famous southern poet who
died in Tryon in 1881. That was

HINT FOR PREACHERS: Has


attendance at Sunday school and
preaching services dropped off at
your rural church? Take page
from the interesting experience
of the Rev. John Z. Carpcr, pas
tor of Longs chapel in Haywood
county.
The Waynesvillc Mountainecr
carries a picture Of the church
in front Of which stands a bus
with this sign painted thereon:
"Long's Chapel Church Bus"
When congregations ran down
and people said they had no
means Of transportation and some
thought it too far to walk, while
others wouldn't permit their chill
drcn to walk on the highway, Mr.,
Carper purchased a 1880 model
A Ford from the school authori-
tics. He steps on the starter ev-
cry Sunday at S:45 and makes the
rounds, engages in the Sunday
school program, delivers SER
mon and takes his congregation
home.
You cart down that kind of
preacher. Christ said something
about going out into the highways
ard hedges and compelling them
to come in. And that's about what
the preacher IS doing.
FLASHES OF BEAUTY: Was
fOrsythia ever more beautiful

golden flower, which stands out a.
something brilliantly beautiful
against a pre-spring landscape,

more splash Of beauty in early
spring, such as is brought by for
sythia, sweet jasmine, hyacinths,
ionquils, crocus, phloX subulata,
etc.
One beautiful Towering bush
or bulb at this season Of the year
attracts more attention and adj
miration than a dozen in sum-
mer.

SPRING ARRIVES: According
to the calendar, spring is with us
today, but she has been getting
in her work for several days. This
section is subject to frosts and
freezes for month. The average
date of the last killing frost over
a long period of years is about a
month hence. Late springs have
seen freezes and SHOWS in May.

leaving my mother with two children.
Not being able to support both Of us,
she sent me to my aunt and uncle,
with whom I have lived happily for
the last is years. My mother never
showed me any affection or did any
thing for me all the time I was grow
ing up, but now she wants me to come
and live with her. refused. I hard
ly know her and can't talk frankly
to her. am nervous and unhappy
with her. Her friends are strangers
to me and mine are to her. Besides,
two years ago my aunt died, and since
then I have been keeping house for
my uncle, who has been a father to me
and done everything for me. Should
I leave him and go to my mother?
DOROTHY.
Answer think not. I think your
duty is to the kind uncle who has not
only supported you all these years, but
has also given you the affection and
care that your mother denied you. He
needs you now, and you will be utterly
lacking in gratitude if you do not stay
with him and do all that you can to
make him comfortable and happy. I
haven't much sympathy with this
Enoch Arden sort of parents who
leave their children to the mercy of
strangers and then pop up when their
offspring are old enough to work and
support them.
NEAR MISS DIX: I am poor old
man, having passed the 85th
milestone, and am now living on bor-
rowed time. My dear wife and lived
together for 48 happy years and raised

all married and making homes for
themselves. live with my oldest son.
Since the death of my wife life hasn't
been the same and pass many dreary
hours. While sitting alone I have
been studying the life of man, and
have come to the conclusion that
youth is a blunder, manhood is a
struggle and old age is regret, What
is your idea about 1t? Can you give
me any recipe that will bring joy and
peace into my life? T. E. B.

Ds ALnSL.
HERE'S true story that illustrates
the typically feminine. Some
friends were giving an old-fashioned
party and showing movie reels some
10 years old, and snapshots taken
about IS years ago. One feminine
oniooker sighed, 1T was so much easier
then, but who would give up all the
sacrifices, all the time spent under
permanent waving heaters. dryers,
sleeping in nets and curriers' for such
simple Plain Jane styles. We women
don't mind having life made simple
for us. After all, we welcome the
washing machines and vacuum clean
ers. But I say, give me style and
individuality any time"
It's true. We women don't want
the least path of resistance, except
when that path leads to the maximum
in smartness land the two simply don't
travel together-theres always a
detour).
Ten years ago it was quite all right
to look exactly like your neighbor Tin

old snapshots sometime Qf you are old
enough. Two waves on one side, one
wave on the other . :. every last woman
in the picture, no matter how many
feminine heads there were. Life was
easier,' but infinitely duller, I think.
No excitement in discovering a new
you-piquant one season, poised an
other, a coquette third, glamorous,
grand lady at another time, even If
for one very important evening. The
desire to look different is the over
whelming one today. Not only to look
different from Aunt Agatha, and
Cousin Kate, and Neighbor Nellie.
But to look actually different from
yourself last season or last week.
One thing today's styles have in
common with the original bob. Hair
is short. But this time there is sense
to it-sense and style and comfort and
individuality. Comfort is important,
especially with summer on the wing.
But comfort alone is not enough.
Nothing can give one the look of Plain

not highly styled And, paradoxically
enough. nothing can make one look
more striking than short hair that Is

ually fashioned.

tend to like people if don't, the way
some people can. I have to say what

well, they don't like it. So what?"
Jane thought that was a smart
speech, calculated to wither and wilt
her teacher, who was trying. ever so
gently, to tell Jane that she was get

THE what of it is this, Jane:
Instead Of being one of the happiest,
most sought-after girls in the school
you are rapidly becoming one of the
most Stunned. You are not happy.
Your manners show that. You can't
be happy without friends, without a
share in what goes on in the school.
If nobody wants to work or play with
you, If you are going to be shut out
OF places where you really belong,
life is bound to be very unpleasant
for you"
Il don't care if they don't like me.
I don't like them, and said 1t
first"
That's one of the difficulties. You
did say it first. and you are so afraid
that somebody will criticize you
openly that you hurry to say the first
disagreeable thing that comes into
your mind. Nobody wants to listen to
that kind of thing day after day: and
SO you are going to be closed out un-
less you change your attitudes"

It Is not too late to give the

plant food in sections where the
weather has not become very
hot. A balanced fertilizer is
best and it should be applied
evenly when the grass is per-
fectly dry. II that Is done,
watering in Immediately will not
be necessary. However, all lawns
win need an application Of water
il the season is at all dry and
enough should be given each
time to thoroughly saturate the
ground to a depth of several
inches. A mere sprinkling is not

cause it coaxes the roots to the
