NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE GOSPEL OF HATE

The word and thought of former Governor Gard
ner in an address here to The Observer Carrier
Boys association to the effect that conditions IN
America and in the world are unsafe and insecure
today largely because "the bloodstream of the
world has become corrupted with the venom OF
hate" goes squarely to the heart of the matter.
The Governors expressions are especially, sig
nifeant in this Instance.
He resides in the seat of the mightiest mGestrom
in America, the seat of the government in Wash
ington where end of hate-inspiration is finding
its origin and toward which the same evil spirit
beats back from important and influential elements
in American society
Hear the Governor as he outlines the situation:
"Ths poison not only permeates Continental
Europe and Asiatic countries. 1t flows too freely
in the current of the life of America. We rap
idly moving in the political direction of the clear
cut issue that government is the hated enemy OF
business and business is the hated enemy OF gov
eminent. If this civil war is continued it Is ines
capable that We will undermine the foundation Of
the republic.
THE bitterness of this period is being aggra-
waited by the social and economic evils arising from
the depression 1t is apparent that we are devotlng
but little thought and public effort to the recession
of the depression, but organizing the preJu-
dice of the country in search to find the Daddy
of the Depression. We have issued national po-
litical benchwarrant to arrest and convict the eu
prit without benefit of clergy. In our search for
the guilty we have overlooked the depressed citi-
zens and the innocent and unofending public.
1.-THE first and most immediate duty of America
today is to put out the fire of this depression be-
fore its sparks start national eonflagration There
will be plenty of time when the fire is out to de-
termine how it started, where it started and who
is to blame.
at is tragcal to look out across America today
to find our people engaged in elimination and re-
elimination as to the cause of the depression and
doing next to nothing to stop its ravages as the
lights go out of factories profits go out of business
and workmen go out of jobs"
That, in our judgment, is clear-cut analysis OF
the basic ills on our continent today.-Charlotte
Observer

BETTER OUT THAN IN

Any organization which has a
member who is not in sympathy
with the detectives Of the organ
ization would be better off to have
such member out. He can do far
less damage to the organizations
aims and purposes outside looking
in than inside undermining. 1t is
the duty of any person who be-
longs to an association with which
he is not in accord, to withdraw
from it.
So dangerous to the success of
a movement is it to have enemies
on the inside that opponents Of
good government comm ION y
scheme to get their agents into
such groups for the sole purpose
Of destroying them.
1t was we'll for the League Of
Nations that Mussolini got out
long ago he should have been
pushed out. The league is better
off without Italy, and without ia
pan and Germany too, until those
nations develop leaders who think
and act differently.
A membership purge is what
many an institution needs to give
it life, integrity and strength.

APPRECIATED EMPLOYEES:

If the boss during quiet hours
around the first of the new year
takes stock of your assets, your
real worth as an employe, how
many of the following qualities
will he find?
Thoroughness: | grew up in a
community where to slight work
was referred to as "slubberlng. -
To "slubber" was one of the vii
est Of charges against corn, cot
ton or peanut field hand. Slight
ing work of any kind is a habit
that grows rapidly if tolerated.
Dutifulness: Are you faithful
to duty in both, the small and the
large things?
Punctuality: Reporting for duty
few minutes late is habit for
which there is no excuse and 4
bad habit that initiates many en-
ployers.
Dependability: Can you be de-
pended upon in all things con-
corning your employment.
Truthfulness: Let the boss
catch you in about two lies and
you will think the recession in

Honesty: Let the boss have oc-
casion to doubt your honesty and
you will make little progress in

any couple Of dozen senators-its
size indicates Strikingly one Of the
reasons why Roosevelt has so
much trouble getting his program
through Congress even though he
did win such a huge popular ma
jority in November's election.
Anyway, the boys gave the
President a pep talk and he
gave them one right back. Roose-
velt told the senator's he hadn't
quit-"not by a damn sight"-in
the liberal course which he has
described as cleft of center" He
said that he had just been giving
his opponents a chance to make
fools Of themselves, AID thereby
discredit themselves with the pub
lie. .,
The regular Democratic leaders
of House and Senate also had
session with the President. They
were not exactly elated when
they went away. Roosevelt gave
them hell according to one au-
thoritative account, but it appears
his ire was directed mostly al
Speaker John Bankhcad Of Ala

Roosevelt asked how the coun-
try could help notice that all but

the wage-hour bill and implied
that the south, being in a minor

viously indicated that leadership
was in bad way.

ALL HANGS ON THE wHIM OF ONE MAN

The trouble now is that government has taken
control of most of the important influences over
business, and given. them to one man and you can
never be sure of what he is going to do from one
day to the next-or even between morning and
evening ... ... F..
Take the question of money. He controls its
value and, since money is just a composite meas
ure of the price of everything, he can control or
largely influence price as well. He controls the
tariff within certain very flexible limits To the
extent that it affects prices and activity he can
turn it on or off like light. He controls the vol
ume of bank credit by his influence on Federal
Reserve policy-and that is JUS. another way OF
saying he controls the amount of counters or chips
which the boys can use in their poker game.
He controls the rate at which the government
pumps or doesn't pump billions out to the people
with which to buy things. To very large extent
he has been given the power to make economic

of our cotton exports tomorrow, if he so desires

WASHINGTON. - There were
q" two significant things about
hat conference Roosevelt had
with a grouii of senatorial pro-
gressives at the White House the
other night.
First was the fact that this was
a resumption of an old New Deal
custom. Once upon a time such
huddles were held frequently.
The progressives would sink deep
into comfortable chairs to talk
political and legislative shop with
F. y. 2. far into the night. But
this was the first time in two years
that the President had had such a
poWwow with the Senate'S New
Dealers. ....
Second was the fact that when
you got them together and isolated
there were so darned few genuine
progressiveS who were considered
sufficiently New Oealish to be
asked in. Unless this writer missed
a name or two, the group included
only eight of the 90 members Of
the Senate-Norris of Nebraska,
LaFollette Of Wisconsin, Sohwell-
enbach Of Washington, Minton of
Indiana, Wagner Of New York,
Green of Rhode Island, Pepper of
Florida and Grown of New Hamp-
shire.
Conspicuously absent was
Wheeler of Montana. His feud
with Roosevelt broke into full
flame during the fight over the
court plan after many years in
which you could be sure Wheeler
would be right there when any
whole-souled group of progress
Sives got together.

sistently for administration meas

Editor, The Times-News:
| have travelled around the earth
and seen much, but there is no
more to be seen anywhere IN 50
short a distance than may be seen
in a cross section Of Florida by
way Of st. Petersburg, Clear
water, Tampa, Haines City, Or
lando, Winter Park, Mt. Dora, De-
land and Daytona Beach.
The fruits, vegetables, flowers
and sunshine are. all wonderful,
Grove after grove of oranges,
grape fruit, tangerines and
lemons pass before the eye:
These orchards arc. now loaded
with golden fruit. The, recent cold
damaged some Of it, but there is
plenty left. Then there are acres
upon acres of vegetables-ceIery,
lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, pep
pers and strawberries, But all
these are surpassed in beauty by
a rich variety of tropical and
sub-tropical flowers. / am no
artist and my sense for the beau
tiful is too limited to attempt an
adequate description of these
beauty spots. Suffice it to say
these flower gardens are patches
Of paradise here on earth.
Then, too, the winter climate
beggars description. 1t is little
wonder that the Yankee makes
his money up north and then goes
to the land of sunshine to spend
it. Instead of frost, ice and snow,
Florida has climate so mild in
the dead Of winter that one is
comfortable without coat. | saw
Woodworking carpenter with
nothing on above his pants but a
light summer union suit. The sea-
bathers wear very little except
their hair and modesty. Such a
climate will continue to attract
more and more people from the
colder regions to winter there.
Then again Florida is fast be-
coming the playground of Amer
lea. There are forms Of amuse-
ment to suit every age. For the
old shuttle board takes the lead,
but they also like fishing, dog and
horse racing and visiting in the
lovely parks. The younger SET en-

Florida has certain special at
fractions. Among these is Silver
Springs with its glass-bottom
boats which enable one to see the
animal and vegetable life to the
very bottom. This spring should
be the ninth wonder Of the world.

WHAT IS THE PROMISE OF 1888?

In these days the role of prophet places
one in precarious position; so The Times
News assures readers that it has no inten-
ton of assuming the role at this time.
However, as far as the material position
and the outlook for material progress dur
ing the year is concerned, we are positive
certain conclusions are justified.
When they think of business perhaps
majority of the people of Hendersonville
and this section think of the tourist trade.
This is affected by general conditions, it IS
true, but the tourist business of the nation
has developed to such an extent and in
way to make it almost as stable as the
best established lines of the countrys bust
ness.
The tourist business We shall have IN
Western North Carolina in 1888. No one
can predict what it is going to be but the
chances are it will be little affected in vol
ume by general conditions, unless these
conditions should become much more
alarming than at present.
The people of this region have their
land and they can and will carry on the
business of farming. This will be done,
we hope and believe, on a larger scale and
in improved manner, m comparison with
the record of the past.
The third line of business endeavor
which is one of the major lines of employ
ment in this area is industry.
Industry enters the new year in fog
of slowing business and conditions so I'M
certain that the outlook is not encourag-
ing in any particular The certainty IS
q that manufacturing will go on, however,
and our industries, which have demon
strated in the past their capacity for car
rying on, will undoubtedly do the best they
can to operate and keep their employees on
their jobs in 1888.
The situation of our town, section and
people may be summed up by saying that
up to this time, we have our resources and
opportunities unimpaired. As the new
year is entered it should be with a resolve
ION the part of all progressive, enterprising
citizens that no opportunity to do business,
to improve the individuals position, to
make a contribution to the upbuilding of
this immediate section and the mountain
country as whole, will be overlooked or
allowed to pass unimproved.
If we face the new year in this spirit,
making use in the largest possible way of
our natural resources, our opportunities
and the capacity of our population for
work, business and advancement, the faith
of The Times-News is that we shall come
to the end of 1898 in a more satisfactory
position, as individuals and as commun-
ity and section, than prevails today-Jan-
uary first.
This survey is confined to the material
situation and outlook. There are other
viewpoints which we hope to notice later
that will greatly affect the welfare and
/ progress of our town and county.

MRS. SCULLYS
WILL IS Up FOR
FINAL DECISION
Court Asked for Ruling
on Certain Provisions

Disposition of the $4,000, 900 es-
tate of the late Mrs. Enriqueta
Angela Scully, formerly of the
District, who died in London in
1882, entered it's final stages in
United States District Court today
after six years of international
litigation.
Attorney Robert F. Cogswell,
representing the executors and
trustees, filed a petition asking the
court to construe certain portions
of the will concerning payment of
income and distribution of shares
payable to several grandchildren
of Mrs. Scully.
DRAWN IN LONDON
Mrs. Scully's will was drawn in
London and the controversial pro-
visions are those which set up a
trust for the benefit of her grand
children. The bequest required
segregation of 10000 pounds ster-
ling, and at the time the will was
executed in 1893. the pound ster-
ling was worth approximately IS
and the trust would have been
about 100000.
Shortly before her death, how
ever, Britain went off the gold
standard and the value of the
pound sterling dropped to less
than $3.50.
CLAIM DEFEATED
Meanwhile the United States
Government interposed claim for
$4,000, 900 in income tax against
the estate, charging that Mrs.
Scully in anticipation of her
death, had transferred $21 ,000,-
900 worth of property to eVade
payment of taxes. During the sew
eral years required to defeat the
Government claim the distribution
of the estate was halted.
Today the court is asked to con-
slider provisions of the will which
permit the granddaughter, all of
whom are British subjects, to enter
into marriage settlements with
their prospective husbands. One
of the granddaughter is already
married.
