EVERYBODY APPROVES
Increasing revenues in North Carolina
are causing additional attention to social
problems that have suffered during the past
few years of depression. Announcement that
insane, people, many of whom are now confin
ed in county jails because of lack of asylum
space, will all be taken care of through ex
pansion program definitely under way and
expected to be completed during the year,
will be met with approval of all citizens.
Combination decreasing revenues and
increase in number of mental defectives dur
ing the depression years brought about a
condition in which about 150 insane people
were confined in county jails, a condition
which everyone deplored but one about which
nothing could be dona until rising revenues
made it possible to enlarge accommodations.
KANSAS AND CAROLINA
Gov. Alf Landon’s friends are bragging
about his record as governor of Kansas but
he could not have done as well as any North
Carolina Governor has done in the past thir
ty years. North Carolina is the only State
in the Union that maintains its road system
and operates an eight months school term,
yet North ^Carolina is doing this running
with balanced budget at the same time.
Gov. Landon says another reason why he
•need the budget of his state but he did it
by refusing to spend anything at all and by
not baying school and road systems to main
tain. North -Carolina last year spent over
twenty millions for schools, which is a finer
tribute to the business ability of our gover
nor than Mr. Landon’s record in his state.
Gov. Landon ays another reason why he
should be elected president is that he retired
a million dollars of the state’s public debt a
year. That’s nothing to boast of. While Mr.
Landon was retiring a million, North Caro
lina was retiring 24 millions and at the same
time maintaining its school and roads.
The man offered by the Republicans for
President of the United States has not ac
complished as much in his state as either one
of the Democratic governors who served
North Carolina in the last quarter century.
DRAWS ON IMAGINATION
That Tom Dixon is a gifted speaker, all
will admit. He is dramatic in his delivery,
striking in his appearance and eloquent in
his diction.
After making 200 speeches for the New
Deal, he comes back again opposing the very
things he advocated in 200 speeches less than
two years ago. It is impossible to follow a
man who is so changeable, and we doubt if
he made any Landon votes in Shelby by his
Monday night speech.
Mr. Dixon had no particular complaint
against Mr. Roosevelt except the prevalence
of communism in America. In loud ar#l dra
matic tones he preached the fear of this new
ism which has come to our shores from Rus
sia. As a matter of fact, Communism is
only a passing movement, like many others,
prevalent today and gone tomorrow. Mr.
Roosevelt is just as atrong against it as Mr.
Wixon, for Communism Is opposed to the re
ligion of Jesus Christ and who would inti
mate that Mr. Roosevelt is against the Chris
tian religion.
Our President has no more svmpathv
for communists then does Mr. Dixon. His
whole public record bears this out and if he
did favor the masses instead of the classes,
that is to his eternal credit. It is only from
the rich and privileged few that we hear the
cry of wolf.
Mr. Dixon draws strongly on his fertile
imagination when he tries to defeat Roose
velt. whom he once admired, with such
frightening stories.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
It might be a good idea for those who
are dissecting the Mrs. Simpson, without
benefit of'laboratory and scalpel, to pause a
moment and consider the possibility that the
lady might-become Queen of England.
There are those who think Edward VIII
will marry her after she secures her divorce
and others who think, just as emphatically,
that he won’t. However, if he does, it seems
there is no statute in England to prevent her
becoming queen. The king himself would
be the one to decide whether or not she
should be crowned queen and, it may be re
called, the king began bis reign, on the day
P.- .... ■
of his father’s death, by breaking precedents.
So, it is eagy to imagine that Mrs. Simp
son might actually become queen and, if she
should, Americans, royalty-loving common
ers that they are, would be eternally grate
ful to her, would fall over themselves to pay
her homage and to make amends for ever
having directed a critical thought toward
her.
Not only would her own generation of
Americans adore having an American girl
become queen of England, but all generations
to come after her would add their homage.
The lady, having been sufficiently smart
and charming to become friends with the
! monarch, has become the most talked of, and
probably the most envied, woman in the
I world. Now she has only to get the king for
a husband to silence the talk and bring the
gossips, both envious and otherwise, to heel.
I What Other Papers Say
ANOTHER DAILY 8TAR
(Lexington Dispatch)
There will be another dally Star In the newspa
per firmament when the Cleveland Star transforms
itself into the Shelby Daily Star on October 96, as an
nounced by editor-publisher Lee B. Weathers. The
star for several years has been issuing three times a
week and has been using a limited wire service. It
will issue only five days of the week for awhile at
least, so the advance Is merely another step forward.
Later It is planned to issue either a Saturday after
noon or Sunday morning edition.
Shelby is an enterprising city, the county seat of
the largest cotton producing county of North Caro
lina. a county which is really not wedded to the one
crop system but has a very creditable agricultural
i diversification despite strong leaning toward cotton,
jits agricultural population includes a high percent
age of independent landowners, so The Star can ex
pect a continuation of its strong rural patronage.
The change to a daily at this time is in keeping
with the climaxing of a personal career long associat
ed with that paper. Clyde R. Hoey, a schoolboy, some
! two score years ago took the editorship of the weekly
1 Cleveland Star and was its editor for many years. In
the meanwhile he advanced to licensed attorney, as
sistant U. S. district attorney, member of Congress,
eminent practitioner; and within a few days after
his old paper becomes a dally he will be elected as
the "head man” in North Carolina, for his election as
governor by a most substantial majority appears to
be a foregone conclusion now. Spirited battling be
tween forces contending in the Democratic primary
has not brought the split that the Republicans might
have hoped, and Gilliam Grissom, worthy fellow that
ha is. seems to have little chance of being anywhere
in sight of Mr. Hoey when the sun goes down on
November 3.
Shelby can then really strut her stuff, with a
governor and a brand new daily to brag about it. Mr
I Weathers and his associates, Shelby and Cleveland
{county are due felicitations herewith extended.
I Surgeons were permitted by the child's mother to
I operate on a baby who couldn't cry. Probably despite
the father's pleadings.
Nobody’s Business
— By GEE McGEE __
MORAL: STOP TROUBLE BEFORE TROUBLE
STOPS YOU
More pnin and misery can visit me in 30 days than
anybody else in the world. About 4 weeks ago. after
having recovered from tonsilitis and acute liverltis.
the tip of my tongue developed a gum-boil or a bun
ion or something. It was so sore, I couldn't speak
i above s whisper, and then nobody ever understood
what I was mumbling about.
It was very evident that I did a right smart of
dreaming about all kinds of delectable food at night,
and as I had nothing else in my mouth to chew on,
I naturally chewed my tongue. That made it sorer
and worser as time went on. There's nothing I know
of worse than to be suddenly awakened in the wee
j hours of the morning because of a badly bitten
, tongue.
j -
I recalled having heard of 3 friends and 3 cousins
j who died of cancer because a tooth or a jawbone or
something irritated the tongue or the gums nearby.
11 realized that a cancer was in order if my trouble
I kept up. So I went to a tooth-dentist for relief. Ke
found, after I told him. that 4 of my present 7 teeth
<nature's own original gift) were as sharp as needle
points.
Well, by agreement, (price $3 00) my few teeth
were ground and whetted down to a billiard ball sur
face. I hope that will permanently atop this tongue
nibbling: if it doesn’t, I can have those 7 teeth yank
ed out at 50 cents a yank. Then this oorn-on-the
cob eating habit while asleep will cease. I tried once
to keep a handkerchief in my mouth to keep the un
ruly member away from danger, but it got down my
throte in some manner and almost choked me to
death . . . before<I could wake up.
It's hard enough on a man to have a tongue that
is so sore and tender that he can’t talk. Such an af
fliction would kill the average women In less than 34
hours. For several days, all I could say was "uh-huh”
and “Uh-huh." These words mean; “Yes, Darling:
go ahead and have your own way, as usual." This
kind of mouth-trouble will keep a person from try
ing to sip overly hot coffee. Thi4 is the voice at ex
perience.
1 hope everything wUl be okey-dokey within the
next few days. The doctor thought ao. He used up
4 emery wheels and 3 whet-rocks before he brought
my cron-bread and toast-cutters down to a decent
level. He was a very tender worker, but I could tell
from the way he handled those drills and wheels tlpu ■
he started out to be a riveter. (Ouch—I just bit it!
again!).

THE LAST ROUNDUP
TALK
TO
PARENTS
_I
Authority
If the right of children to self
expression and self-determination
continues to be the rule, the time is
soon coming when, for the sake of
the world's emotional and nervous
stability, the state will have to un
dertake the care and rearing of the
young.
Only the hard and fast rules of
mass production can control the
children who are brought up by the
modern psychology of freedom.
When everyone is doing the same
thing at the same time, there is no
chance for individual assertion.
Family life is not like that, nor,
for that matter, is the world. Tom
my, who is six, cannot stay up as
late as Mary who is in high school
But Tommy’s mother is afraid to
insist on his going to bed early, lest
she thwart his ego, or his sub-con
scious or cause an inhibition or
colnplex. Furthermore, she is tired
of the constant argument.
And Tommy? He is apt to grow
up as nervous oddity with a chip
on his shoulder, not because of late
hours, but because of the wear and
tear of uncertainty and insecurity.
There was a time not so long ago
when a parent’s word had the
force of law. The child who ques
tioned or disobeyed an order was
in disgrace. There were, of course,
many abuses of authority, there
were then as always many unman
ageable and rebellious children.
There resulted also innumerable
adults whose lives were warped and
twisted as a result of early train
ing and mishandling. But there
was at least a sense of security in
the lives of a large number of chil
dren, and a certain respect for au
thority.
To argue out every question that
arises is a strain on the nerves. To
question all authority not only de
stroys respect for authority, but ac
tually harms the children, since it
leaves them with no one and noth
ing on which to rely.
