THURSDAY, SEPT. 8, 1932
In the California senatorial primary held
last week former Secretary of the Treasury
W. G. McAdoo won the Democratic nomina
tion. His opponent will be a young man from
San Francisco by the name of Tallant Tubbs.
There were six Demicratic candidates for the
nomination and five Republican candidates.
The total vote polled by the Republicans was
almost twice that gotten by the Democrats.
The Moore County News says that the bon
us marchers camp established a few weeks
ago in Moore county has been abandoned and
the bonus marchers plan to establish a camp
between Greensboro and High Point. The
News also says that this action is a "source
of no little satisfaction to the residents of the
vicinity." We would suggest that some of
the newspapers that have been so worked up
over the way the B. E. F. marchers were treat
ed at Washington ought to invite them to lo
cate near their towns.
A PROPHET WITHOUT HONOR
IN HIS OWN COUNTRY
The News and Observer in a recent issue
mildly intimated that Senator Bailey does not
rate so high as a prophet. It seems that in
July the Senator made a speech to the Civitan
Club and foretold that within sixty days bus
iness conditions would be much better. At
a farmers convention held in Raleigh August
31 the Senator gloomily told the agriculturists
that the depression was still on in full force.
It is known of all men that prophecying is
a dangerous business at best. There are about
as many chances of missing as of hitting the
mark. It is probably best for all of us to
stick to the facts. As to Senator Bailey's as
sertion that the depression is still making full
speed ahead we fail to see how he figures
that out. With cotton twenty dollars a bale
higher than it was a few weeks ago, tobacco
bringing a good price and various commodi
ties on the upgrade, with factories starting up
everywhere and railroad freights increasing it
does seem that the depression is routed at
last. Of course the effects are still here and
they will remain for a good while to come.
Some people who have lost heavily will nev
er get back what they have lost, but many
others will recuperate. Business asa whole
is improving and in time, no one knows how
long, it will be as good as it ever was.
Senator Bailey told the farmers that taxes
are too high and that general tax reduction
is necessary. ' We suppose almost everybody
will agree with the Senator as to that. The
nation is overloaded with the tax burden. For
this regrettable condition there are many to
blame. Congress, the various state legisla
tures, county and city givernments and the
people themselves are responsible. Some taxes
are necessary of course but people cannot
continue to carry the burdens they have had
on their backs for the past decade. They
must have relief.

At the recent bar examination in Raleigh
ninety two new lawyers passed the examina
tion and received license to practice in this
State. This was eighty five per cent of those
who applied. We understand that the legal
profession, like every other profession, trade
or business, has been having rather lean times
in recent years. The newly fledged barrist
ers therefore have come into the kingdom at a
time when many well seasoned and able prac
titioners are having a hard time to make a
success. Maybe the experience will be good
for them.
SELF DEPENDENCE
The first aim of every man, aside from faith in God,
should be self-dependence. He should face his own
problems, .maye his own way, fight his own- battles
His own manhood is measured by his ability to do
just that; and his own faith, courage, daring and
strength 1s thus developed.
If these trying times have taught us anything it is
that too much ease isn't good for us. For a long
time we had been getting things almost by wishing for
them in many cases they were provided by someone
else on whim we had come to rely. We had about
made up our minds that the world owed us a living, IBank on the north side of said riv
STRAW BALLOT PREPARATIONS
The Literary Digest announces that it is now
making extensive preparations for one of its
election polls. The Digest has made a good
many of these in the past and its success in
forecasting results has been remarkable. The
Digest says that the work has started and sev
eral thousand clerks will be employed on the
job. Twenty million ballots will be printed.
Folding these and putting them in envelopes
and addressing the latter is a big undertaking
and will cost a lot of money and the item of
'postage must be very large. It is a good
advertisement for the Digest though and the
public likes to read the poll. In several past
elections this straw voting has proven to be
an accurate forecast of the real results.
and it was up to us to collect in the simnlest and eas

We were getting along pretty well at the job until
something happened to the other fellow's machinery
and we didn't have enough mechanical insight to ever,
suggest how to fix it. We had formed the habit of
deepeding on others, and have been busly engaged in
paying the price for our laziness.
The other day we ran across an old school-mate,,
now an hopored religious leader who has been success
ful and helpful to his fellowman, because while he
practiced self reliance he never lost the common touch.
That preacher worked his way through college at the
woodpile. The only discomforting memory, when we
grasped his hand after many years was the recollection
that we had paid him a pittance for dumping an arm-

A BIG TIME EXPECTED AT WILLARD
The papers are giving considerable public
ity to some kind of farm meeting to be held
at Willard next Thursday. Similar events
have been held there annually for sixteen
years and very large crowds usually attend.
There will be discussions of agricultural top
ics by various speakers but the chief attrac
tion of the day is to be "Our Bob" Reynolds,,
Democratic candidate for the U. S. Senate.
His knowledge of farming is probably quite
limited but he may know a good deal about
farmers. Any way he could entertain the
crowd highly by giving his views on prohibi
tion and explaining how he managed to beat
Cam Morrison so badly. Two years ago Sen
ator Bailey was the chief - speaker at this
event. So mixing politics with agriculture is
not a new thing under the sun.'

STATE WINS TWO PRIZE. L
North Carolina seems to b faring pretty
well at the hands of the Federal administra
tion these days. Winston-Salem landed a
branch of the Home Loan Bank system not
long ago and last week Raleigh walked off
with the Agricultural Credit Corporation for
the Third Federal Land Bank District. Both
of these prizes were much sought after by
cities much larger than any in North Caroli
na. Congressman Pou worked hard to get
the Agricultural Credit Corporation for Ral
eigh and made a personal appeal to President
Hoover. The President gave his approval to
Raleigh and the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration board promptly followed his sugges
tion. r
AN UNDESERVED REWARD
It has been called to the attention of the leaders
of both political parties that the practice of giving the
best releases to radio for broadcast, has begun to
have a bitter taste to newspapers which have always
been called upon to give liberally of their space
unrewarded.
Much of the expense of the last presidential cam
paign was incurred by the extensive use of the radio
hookups in broadcasting political messages to the peo
ple. It cost money and lots of it this se:vice that
heretofore newspapers considered a part of their re
sponsibility ot their readers. Editorial support, too,
is bo unimportant factor in the development of polit
ical conclusions and to see the financial reward so eas
ily (faced has begun to teste of the can.
Senator Htjnry J. Allen, speaking for Chairman
baderar j.the Republican party, aays: "I still hold
firmly to the belief that the most valuable publicity
we have in the campaign is that which we obtain from
the newspapers, because it is publicity, plus character."
Advertisers who have checked their investments in
radio advertising have found that something is wrong.
Radio fans are not writing letters about this and1 that
product exploited by shrewd barkers. They realize
that a new ruse must be employed if public interest
is maintained and a profit on their radio advertising
investment realized.
As a serviceand courtesy to their readers many
newspapers carry many columns of radio information,
all unmindful of the fact that they are fortifying their
strongest competitor with more strength to be amliert
I in skimming the cream from the advertising pot
