American government prevail, we shall
not be involved in the European war. But
there is evidence of an emotional uprising
all over the nation, which is expressing it.
self in ways which may well be as danger
Gus to the welfare of the country as war it.
self would be.
The Attorney-General Of the United
States, Frank Murphy, called attention to
this danger in a radio talk a week or so
ago. Recalling the "spy hysteria' which in
fected all America when we entered the
first World War, Mr.. Murphy pointed out
that nothing can be more un-American and
unpatriotic than to point the finger of sus-
picion at the people of any particular class
or group because their names have for
eign sound, they or their parents came to
America from somewhere else, or their re-
igious practices do not conform to the gen.
eral standards of their communities.
MIR. Murphy was especially emphatic on
the last point. He took notice of the fact
that wave of anti-Jewish propaganda
seems to be sweeping over the country,
and denounced it's instigators, one of the
foremost of whom is a priest of his own
Roman Catholic religion, as lacking in pa
triotism and understanding of the funda-
mental principles of civil liberty.
The right of every American to live as
he pleases think as he pleases, speak and
write as he pleases, and to be secure in his
person or property so long as he does not
infringe the equal rights of any other citi-
zen, regardless of race, color or creed, is the
very foundation of democracy. Any organ
lied attempt to challenge or deny those
rights strikes blow at the roots of our ma
tional structure, which is built upon the Ii
berries which some seek to curtail
It is refreshing and encouraging to be
assured by the chief law officer of the Ma
tional government that such un-American
movements will not be tolerated.

Changes Noted On Neutrality
Measure By Senate This Wk.

observation-disclosures with 8
weeks of oratory, the senate put
on a tremendous burst of speed
Tuesday, disposed of a long series
of amendments to the neutrality
bill and drew near to final de-
cision on the essential issue of re-
pealing or retaining the arms
embargo.
1t approvedv changes which
would permit American ships to
60 almost anywhere except to
the danger zones of the North
Atlantic, would make the bill
more nearly cash-and-carry
measure, and permit ordinary
trade across the border or
through sheltered water and sea-
ways.
With equal dispatch it turned
down an amendment forbidding
American vessels to 60 within 300
miles of the European continent
! or the British Isles, and rejected
a proposal that no military air
craft should be sold to belligerent
nations until American national
defense needs had been satisfied
On the dais, Vice-President
Garner, whose impotence at the
length Of the formal general de-
bate was well known, gleefully
gavelled business along at a clip
which brought protests from the
floor and particularly irritated
exchange between the chair and
senator.
Garner had called for a vote on
the aircraft amendment and pro.
nounced it defeated. Senator
Clark, Democrat, Missouri. indig.
nantly called to his attention
that Senator Danaher, Republic
can, Connecticut, the author OF
the Amendment, was seeking rec
ognition when Garner put the
question.
81 don't believe" Clark said
"that business will be expedited
by trying to railroad this body:
"The CHAIR" said Garner in his
enthusiastically shrill and pene-
! trating voice, els not trying tc
railroad anything, but there is
not going to be any horse ano
buggy business in this senate as
long as I'm running it."

COLORFUL OCTOBER

October is here, and Nature again, like
a fastidious feminine flirt, is doing her best
to attract more attention than ever BEFORE
With the aid of Jack Frost as her color
stylist, she is wearing the widest array of
beautiful tones of red, yellow, brown and
green we have ever gazed upon. So full of
life and vivid are the colors on the trees,
that it is hard to imagine that we once
looked with awe and admiration on the
pale green leaves of spring, or that these
same trees will soon be stripped bare of
their beauty and left to the ravages of win
ter's snow. But Nature has the ability to
make each season complete in it's own par
ticular charm which is one of the reasons
we look forward to her changes.
Despite the slightly rough road, Negro
mountain is we'll worth climbing at this
time; for in the forest which borders the
road, can be seen every shade of autumn!
And from the height one gazes down on a
scene long to be remembered for its vari-
ETY. of colors Here is splash of deep red,
another of yellow gold, bright orange lin
gering green, touched up by the sunlight
to enrich their tones
The whole panaroma might be compared
to colorful map, or to one of grandmoth-
er's old fashioned crazy quilts, combining
every hue imaginable. Whatever it is Mo-
Their Nature had done a grand job.
Many tourists have journey to this Sec
ton during the past week to enjoy the
L. 111o4N o4o &c kzs-~
Thousands of others would drive miles to
see such a glorious sight if they knew what
Ashe county had in store for them lat this
time.
The people of this section have right now
an opportunity to see each day, one of the
most beautiful sights in North Carolina,
which is one of the many reasons why
Ashe county is a good place in which to
live.

Balloon Travels
Along Distance
Johnnie Ashley Gets Letter
from Boy Near Salisbury,
Saving He Found 1t.

There is no war in progress IN
this country, but balloons glide
through the air like little yep
plins and travel a surprisingly
long distance.
Monday Johnnie Ashley, 16-
year old-son of Mr.. and Mrs. Av-
cry Ashley, of West Jefferson, re-
ceived a card from Kenneth Ben
field stating that he was cutting
timber few days ago near Sails
bury and found a large balloon
lodged in a tree, with his name
and address on it.
Johnnie said he and Carl jack
son made the balloon and sent 1t
up, inflated with gas from Red
Devil lye, on October 8.
The balloon was found on Oct
ober 16, nearly 100 miles from
here.

many relatives and friends of Mr.. Felix
Barr in extending him greetings and best
wishes on the occasion of his 18th. birth
day. Few are the men who live to pass that
milestone along the highway Of life and
few are the men in Ashe or in any other

more serviceable and more filled with
friendship and goodwill among his fellow
men. We are glad that he has practically
recovered from his recent illness and hope
that he lives to pass the century mark!

Baptists To Have
Hospital Day On

WINSTON-SALEM, Oct. %
Baptist pastors throughout North
Carolina will observe October %
as Hospital Sunday in support of
the Enlargement Campaign of
North Carolina Baptist Hospital.
The pastors will. preach that day
on some phase of the ministry of
healing, and the benefit that the
entire state will reap from the
creation of a great new, medical
center at Winston-Salem, where
Wake Forest College is moving
its Medical School, and where it
will work hand in hand with the
enlarged Baptist Hospital.
Hospital Sunday was original
ly set for October %, but be-
cause State Mission Sunday of
the Baptist Denomination in
North Carolina falls on that day,
Hospital Sunday was moved
ahead.
Statewide meetings held in
connection with this campaign
for 100000 are attracting hun
dreds of leading Baptists.
Every county in the state is
represented in the list of patients
received at North Carolina Bap-
fist Hospital. Demands on it are
increasing so fast that about 5000
patients a year are turned away
from its doors for lack of room.

Want U. S. Ships
Returned Home
Anxiety Expressed bv Hull
Over the Crew. 3 From
N. G.. On Board.

WASHINGTON - Reminiscent
of the world war, those anxious
and dramatic days when Wood
row Wilson, Lansing and their
compatriots occupied the world
stage, Washington was for much
of this week preoccupied with
matters relating to ships and war
time shipping. It is assumed that
the Washington government will
ask the release from Russia of
the freighter, City of Flint, run
into a Russian port Monday by
the German battle cruiser, En-
den.
In discussing this development
today with representatives Of the
press Secretary Hull registered
concern over the possible fate OF
the crew of the American ship
The crew included three North
Carolina men. Harry J. Spicer, OF
Oriental; Dallas Parker, of Man
teo, and Allison Sellars of Will
rnington.
Further mystery was added tc
the fate of the American crew
when German officials informed
the United States embassy IN
Rerlin that they had no informa-
ton whatever on the Flint.
International law experts said
that there would be no grounds
on the part of either a belligeren1
or neutral in OBTAINING the
United States crew of the vessel
whatever the disposition OF the
vessel itself.

FINDING SHELTER IN A STORM

AS comment continued concerning the
Presidents proposed revision of the neu-
trality laws, Vice-President Jack Garner is
quoted as saying: ''The people have conf
dence in the President and the way he is
conducting the foreign affairs of the coun-
try. They believe in him and think he has
done the right things" Mr.. Garner prompt
ly comes to the Presidents viewpoint on
the arms embargo, and in this very empha-
tic way.
1t must have required great deal of
effort for Mr.. Garner to admit openly that
"the people have confidence in the Presi-
dent" for he has been definitely instru-
mental in undermining that confidence in
late months since the presidential bee
stung him and made him forget this signi-
ficant and noble utterance in his 1886 ac-
ceptance speech:
"Franklin Roosevelt is my leader, nv
conmander-in-chief.I In this presence, be-
fore this multitude, and with the stars of
heaven to bear witness to my covenant, I
renew the pledge of loyalty I gave four
years ago -. am a soldier, and my duty
is to follow where my commander leads
| am enlisted for the Duration"
It is barely possible that Mr.. Garner
senses the advantage of drawing closer to
Mr.. Roosevelt as the 1910 choosing draws
nearer. Mr.. Garner knows his political
onions and which side of the bread is but
tered, and if burying the Ratchet could re-
suit in his being the White House favorite
next year, Cactus Jack is prepared to give
it mighty heft.
But Mr.. Garner is not the only one who
has finger on the public pulse Senator
George whose vote defeated even consid-
GRAFTON of the law that Congress now is
ready to enact, has reversed himself and
has comfortable seat on the band wagon.
Whereas last July he was effectively 3D.
posing any monkeying with the neutrality
legislation he is now convinced that it is
positively necessary.
Senator Georges friends are patting him
on the back for being big enough to ac-
knowledge that he was wrong, admittedly
an evidence Of bigness, but many there are
who will remain convinced that his opposi-
ton last July was prompted by his peeve
against the President for the latters
"pure" activities and that his about-face on
the neutrality issue stems from the know
ledge that he was out on a limb-with pub
lie sentiment waving an axe.-The Elkin
Tribune.
