NATION A I f D I TO I A f Jpsaj UnM Thursday Afternoon, May 23, 1950 A Moral Obligation One of the biggest obligations placed upon the citizens of this state is the nomination of competent men for office on Saturday. The Democratic nomination in this state, by all normal trends, means election in November. With every phase of our government, from the local level right on through to the federal agencies getting more and more complicated and expensive, it is all the more reason that men of ability; men competent to handle the jobs are named to office. The action of the citizens on Saturday will determine to a large degree just the type government that is wanted for the next four years here in Haywood, and similar action will place in Washington men who will be in a responsible position to help mold legisla tion that will have world-wide effect. The registration books of Haywood county show that some 19,000 qualified voters are eligible to cast a ballot on Saturday. From past experiences, and indications, there is rea son, to believe that about fifty per; cent of those qualified to vote will exercise that righV This Democratic prlrriaryls aniatter TthaT will touch the lives of every citizen of the county and state. The men elected will be the. ones to say the amount of taxes you will pay, and what kind of government you will get in return. This is a serious matter. It is a matter that should cause every citizen to determine now to vote to exercise the right to cast in secret a ballot for the men whom you honestly feel will best serve their county, state and nation. Honesty and Fairness Is Battle Cry Following a practice and policy ' of many years, this newspaper has not endorsed, nor taken part in the current political campaign. As candidates announced we tried as best we could to -give each a fair impartial news art icle, and when available a picture of them. We might add right here, that all this was without charge. We felt that our thousands of readers were entitled to know who was seek ing Office, and where possible just what he looked like. So impartial have we been, that not even rnembers of the staff have been able to detect the personal feelings of the publishers. In fact, we do not want to influence anyone in this campaign, as we feel all the candidates are well known, and there has been plenty of time elapsed since April 17, which was the last date for filing, that any interested person could get all the facts necessary to make up their minds as to how to vote on May 27th. This newspaper is happy to see that the Haywood Board of Elections is taking every precaution, and every measure to assure a fair and honest election. It is a matter of record that Haywood has been openly accused as not always having followed the "straight and narrow" in the past when it came to elections. We feel that public sentiment favors, and is demanding a honest and fair election. With that being the case, we feel that even the los ers will not have anything to say when the last ballot is counted. Haywood has a lot at stake in this election a reputation and we trust that any person, or persons willfully violating the election laws will be promptly and severly punished. High Type Campaigning Saturday will climax one of the most wv usual, and perhaps as hard a fought Demo cratic primary as has ever taken place in this state. The campaigning here in Haywood has been hard. The candidates have staged a hard and consistent campaign, steadily working for every available vote. As this is written, the local campaign has been kept free of the usual mud slinging type political battle. The candidates and their friends have sought every means of getting their names and the names of their candidates before the people. But in so doings they have kept it on a high level. Of course, we know there have been occa sions when there have been some "catty" re marks, but even those are not unusual even in a Sunday School social. Most of the candidates have conducted They'll Do It Every Tim By Jimmy Hatlo ALL OUT' IN . FOR SUM SUITS BUOKPECLfTlE.

Capital Letters By EULA NIXON GREENWOOD Editor's note the views and opinions expressed in this column are those of the writer, and not necessarily those of this news paper. In fact, many times, this column and the editorial policies of this newspaper are not In agree their campaigns along the lines of "why you should vote for me" rather than tear into their opponents, ' We feel this speaks well for the local candi dates, and has and will mean more people taking part in determining the candidates they want for office. " We are happy that the campaign, from the local standpoint, has stayed out of the mire. Gay Mad Vienna A man stole a kiss of a girl in Vienna, The girl's mother charged that the girTs- personal liberty had been infringed "because the man pinioned her arms while kissing.

True. But how many of us were that vigor ous? St. Louis Star-Times. . How , To Sieep Nights A New Jersey doctor has come forth with 10 commandments for getting a good night's sleep, but we believe he's facing disobedience because he recommends not doing almost everything most citizens like to do before dozing off to sleep. His sixth commandment says Never read in bed, a habit millions of Americans find is one of the fastest and easiest methods of get ting sleepy, especially if you are reading something that's not exciting. You should try his eighth commandment first, however, because it recommends that when you go to bed, "close your eyes and go to sleep." If this rule works, the doctor is going to be out of a job. We won't need all the other commandments.Sanford Herald. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist, to their heels when they discover that it involves really facing themselves, and why even at a social gathering a psychologist cannot help realizing that some people are uneasy in his presence. Yet the "guilt" that makes you fear to face yourself is childish, and real understanding will dis solve it. Art chil-wii "iwtwral-btmi liar?" Auwer: Certainly not. A child tends to indulge in "tent-sics" partly to make up for the fact that he feels helpless to get what -e wants in real life, and partly Ao fill In the gaps of his understand ing of a world that is still strange and mysterious to him. But his tall tales are not really Meant to deceive you most of the time he believes them himself. A child lies only in self-defense against tactless questions or from fear.'of ; ; belns punished. And the more truthful he sees ypy are, the mi . truthful he'll be with you. Do most people want you to . "understand" them? 1 Answer: They believe so, bUt'in fact they want you to "make 1 lowances" for them. The idea of being teen exactly as he is f right- ens the average person half out of his wits. This Is why so many peo ple who begin psychoanalysis take It neurosis a relative matter? Answer: Yes. There is no abso lute dividing line between the neurotic and the so-called "nor mal" person who exists only in theory, anyhow. One character istic of neurosis, for example, is that it involves attaching more importance -- good or bad to things or people than they "de serve." But who can decide Just how much, say, a student should "care" if he fails in an. examina tion? It's like the fact that a man of average height is obviously overweight at 200 pounds and un derweight at 100, But Just what he "should weigh" no one can say positively. MACHINE POLITICS lt seems hard to believe that two short years. ago right along now Gubernatorial Candidate Kerr Scott was level ing an index finger at Charles M. Johnson, -Tom Pearsall of Rocky Mount, Oscar Richardson of Mon roe, Hathaway Cross, and some others, and speaking blatantly of machine politics and a hand-picked candidate. Many of those who were leaders in his camo declared themselves as bitterly opposed to any kind of political machine in North Caro lina. Now if he and Jonathan do not have a political machine, there has never been one in this State, i nose who two years ago were fighting political machines are now important cogs in one. It is inter esting how events change attitudes. We are all against political machin ery and other types of machinery if we are on the outside and very much for them if we are a party to making them tick. But machines can be beaten. Scott proved that, . and they certainly led a man into disillusionment. Dr. Graham's illness has been very real. He had pneumonia short ly after being appointed Senator. His recent illness has been diag nosed as pneumonitis. It takes a tough man, physically and mental ly,' to gb though modern day politi cal battles and one tougher still to withstand the onslaughts , which, come his way once he is elected. t THE,M ARSH A LL THING On Thursday afternoon, May 18, a tele phone call ' came from Philadel phia that John Marshall and Carl Williamson had been there contact ing a distiller for funds to use on behalf of Frank Graham's cancty dacy for the U. S. Senate. It was known here that Williamson, form er head of the State ABC Board, was out of town, and that Scott Secretary John Marshall was "away on vacation". Voice of the People Rambling 'Round Bits Of Human Interest News By Frances Gilbert Frazier By the time our next issue eomes out, there will be many a headache lessened, many a furrowed brow restored to placidness and many a jubilant pulsation of the winning heart. In other words, tile iecuon will have passed its first hurdle and the future lies in the "laps of the gods". Those who have fought gamely and well, yet on a losing side, will shake hands with the winner and promise to stand by for the good of the city, county, state and the nation. Opportunity sometimes knocks so softly that only the alert ear hears the summons. May, 1950, should be a perfect month for weddings and honey moons. It has two full-moons in it which only happens "once In a blue moon". And vvlth these full, sundrenched days what more could mortal ask? ; This you want to see: A man seated on one of the green benches, playing a banjo and singing lustily , . . while heartily smoking a pipe. ; :-' -:- -:- .

What is your greatest ambition This question was answered by a 'roup of high school seniors.) Coretta Henson: -To become a well-liked English teacher, or go into social welfare work." Gene Yarboroueh: "To own a hotel in the Hawaiian Islands where the weather is hot and the girls A'ear grass skirts." THE JOKE Anybody looking for a laughing place had only to glance at the headlines last week when the three leading candidates for the U. S. Senate reported on their expenditures. Dr. Frank Gra ham (an old colored lady in Eliza both City said last week she would vote for him if she could as she had "always liked doctors") re ported to the Secretary of State that he had spent $7,140.04. Willis Smith came along then and report ed expenditures at $8,942.32. Bob Reynolds said he had spent $4,921. They all listed contributors, etc., with the usual bull . . . and stayed within the law, which ought to be taken trom the books as it is not worth one tinker's hoot, It would be safe to say that money spent for Graham by the CIO, AFL, and sev eral other groups ... and quite a few individuals .. .. .. would run ap proximately $100,000. The amount dished out for Smith by small busi nessmen, middle-of-the-road indi viduals, and some businessmen not so small, would probably total around $100,000. Bob Reynolds was likely nearest to the amount spent in his behalf. All told, his expenses should not run over $25,000. LATE But when the news came from Philadelphia that they had been there together, Lynn Nisbet, Raleigh correspondent for N. C. Af ternoon Dailies, was also out of town . . . in Winston-Salem. How ever,' op Friday morning he was back, got on the trail of the story and checked on the facts. By the time he could nail them down it was 1:30 Friday afternoon. He wir ed the story immediately, but West ern Uhi6n delay In sending it pre vented any. of his papers s . , except the Raleigh Times . . . from get ting it, and the Saturday morning papers got the fruit of his efforts. FALSE Of all the tales that that have been making the rounds in this Senatorial campaign, one of the worst is that Dr. Graham was playing sick in order to avoid hav ing a part in the FEPC vote of last Friday. He has been sick, is still ailing physically and mental ly. The mental suffering is derived from the slam-bang type of cam paign Which is in progress. Those folks who persuaded him to move from the sheltered, quiet, and acad emic atmosphere of Chapel Hill into the very real, hard-bitten, and hard facts field of practical .poli tics did him a great Injustice and should be ashamed of themselves. They .probably shortened his life FACTS -- Nisbet is a cautious, mature reporter. He is frequently boringly careful with his facts. He was correct in what he wrote . . . even though Marshall denied it . . . that Marshall had solicited distil lers for contribtuions; Knowing Nisbet as he does, the Governor's Betty Hale: "To be a nurse." Don Whisenhunt: "To finish col- '.ege." , - Deryl Davis: "To finish college und make something of myself." Bobby Owen: "Be a success life." in Mary Osborne: "To be happy." Gcorire Garrett: "To be a millionaire." Edna Callahan: "To become a director of religious education." Charles Womack: "To finish college." Jimmy Whitman: "To be a suc cess in life." Bctte Hannah: "To do something worthwhile with my music." Dolf Kienast: "To go to college and study to be a laboratory tech nician." secretary used poor judgment let alone poor honesty, in denying the reporter's charge.
