NO REFLECTION It is no reflection on Clyde R. Huey and no indication of party disaffection for him to run far behind the national ticket in North Carolina. Gov, Lehman of New York who had the blessings and benediction of Mr. Roosevelt had 200.0(H) votes less than the nations chief. Out in Ohio, Governor Davey carried his state for re-election by only 25,000, while President Roosevelt provoked a landslide of 250.000. In fact President Roosevelt ran ahead of the Democratic ticket in every state of the union, showing his popularity with the mass es and the fact that he escaped entangle ments with local issues that served to handi cap the local candidates. BETTER MAIL SERyiCE By the extension of the U. S. postoffice’s star mail route from Kings Mountain as a main line railroad terminal to Gastonia, the service in Shelby and on the routes here from will be greatly improved. Night mail from the north and south has been thrown off of moving trains at Kings Mountain often causing damage to the mail. This haphazard method of transferring mail from a moving train to a motor route driver has necessarily limited the service to newspapers and first class mail. Parcel post and heavy mail could not be handled in this manner. So, beginning this week, this motor mail route heretofore operating between Shelby and Kings Mountain will be extended to Gastonia where main trains from the north and south stop, receive and discharge not only first class mail, but parcel post as well. It means an early morning service on all classes of mail both from the north and from the south, speeding up a class of mail that heretofore did not reach Shelby until 11:30 A. M., too late for the dispatch on • routes leaving from the Shelby office. It’s quite an improvement and the post office department deserves the thanks of all patrons. SELECTING JUDGES The Appointment of A. D. (Lon) Folger by Governor Ehringhaus to the Superior Court bench has brought forth some criti cism by the Statesville Daily and the Char lotte News. Mr. Folger has been active in politics and these newspapers take the posi tion that Folger’s appointment came as a re ward for party service. The Statesville paper says, “whether ap pointed or elected, the judgeship is steeped in politics; voters vote them in with little knowledge of their qualifications; govgrnors appoint them with political expediency in mind and under whatever other method em ployed, the judge who sits on the Superior Court bench must first of all know his way about in politics.” Under our Democratic form of govern ment the Superior Court judges are elected by the people and if they make a mistake they have no one to blame but themselves. Mistakes can be corrected at subsequent elec tions. In the appointments of Lon Folger to succeed Clayton Moore (resigned) and Judge Armstrong to succeed Judge Oglesby (de ceased) the Governor, was proceeding along the constitutional lines of making selections. Suppose he did select men who had render ed party service. That does not indicate that he made a mistake, by any means. If a prospective appointee is not interested in the welfare of the state, he is not qualified to serve in the capacity of a judge. Certainly we should not choose judges because of their obscurity. We believe that Judges Folger and Armstrong will display the ability and temperament that their position requires. POWER RATES DECLINE The tendency in electric .power rates is constantly downward, due to the increase in the development of electric power and to the “yardstick” in rate making fixed by the gov ernment on power supplied by its own giant plants. •—' Private power companies are making more rapid extensions than they have made jn many years, thus adding new customers I for the increased out-put. As consumption 1 gtas up, the cost comes down and in a few years, practically every rural section that is located within reach of power development will have the advantages of electric power which the city dwellers enjoy. A bulletin recently issued by the Caro lina Power and Light Co. of Raleigh says that twenty years ago their rates were as high as 15 cents per KWH and averaged approxi mately 13 cents. Ten years later the aver | age residential rate was 8.5 and for the year i 1935 the average rate received by this com j pany for its domestic service was 4.6. This j year to date the cost of service of the resi | dential customer served averages 3.8 per ! kwh. During the past year and a half this company has constructed and placed in ser vice and planned for construction an aggre gate of approximately 1,700 miles of rural lines making service available initially to more than 8,000 rural and farm customers. What is going on with the Carolina Power and Light is also duplicated on an equally large scale by the Duke Power which operates in our immediate section. Power costs to the consumer extends the benefits of the “white servant” to the homes of farmers and others, making home life easier and more enjoyable.

Washington Daybook 87 PRESTON GROVER (Associated Press Staff Writer) — WASHINGTON. — Napoleon re-: I turning front his conquests could ■scarely have expected a livelier re-1 ception than President Roosevelt received here alter his re-election. It was a chill morning, not to say raw, but several thousand swarm ed about Union station, overcoats bunched* around their necks, wait ing the early ar rival of his train. “God bless his heart,” said an elderly elevator operator who rushed from his cubicle to a win dow for a mo ment's glimpse of mSTON L CROVEf the president as he rode, rather swiftly, down Pennsylvania avenue. Washingtonians, in the main, can’t vote. But they have a state in the president’s success that is even more deeply economic than that of John L. Lewis’ miners or the farmers. One out of every four or five of the city’s half million population is a federal job holder, many appoin tive. Industrially, the city lives only for the federal government. That goes for nearby parts of Maryland and Virginia, into which the city's surplus population spills. The city has thrived on th* New Deal. Own t'onxiut Conservative But the president himself was) simply bubbling with good feeling.; Naturally he ran into a press con ference packing his office to the doorways. There was no end of spoofing bac kand fourth. He re fused to talk of anything serious. For weeks he had teased the re porters about the "little sealed en velopes" In which he had made his own forecasts of the election out come from time to time. Last January he credited Demo crats with 325 electoral votes, Re publicans. 206; At that time AAA had just been upset by the supreme court and tax talk was afoot. June 5, four days before the Re publican convention, he evidently sensed a surge of Republican ardor, and scaled Democratic votes to 315, boosting Republican votes to 216. a gain of 10, about the number from a midwestern state. August 2, week after the Demo cratic convention, the thought his own stock better, gave himself 340, Landon 191. But even he didn't smell his own overwhelming victory. Sunday be fore election he gave himself 360 to 171 for Landon. “The worst of all." he jibed, "1 apologize. 1 was bad- j ly off.” He Looks Fit He leaned back in his seat to ; laugh heartily when a reporter I cracked: "So were some of the rest I of ua." “What caused you to be so far off?” he was asked "My well known conservative tendency," be shot back. Thus he Sundown Stories For The Kiddies The Rewarded Bears By MART GRAHAM BONNER "I don’t see how the bears could have got away without our notic- j ing them,” said some of the peo- . pie. “They’re not what you’d call I tiny!” But every one called and called and no bears appeared. Willy Nilly called so that the bears would be sure that there was no trouble to greet them, but still they did not answer. “They weren’t on their way to' Puddle Muddle,” he said, “or X would have passed them on my way over.” Then Christopher had an idea.; He came down, perched on Willy Nilly’s shoulder and whispered j something in his ear. “Maybe you’re right.” answered Willy Nilly. "I’ll take a look around and see if I can find them.” And find them he did. They were I in the pantry of the house, their | mouths sticky with Jelly, their fur sticky, too. and around them em tied glasses of Jelly and a very sticky, dirty floor. “Jelly Bear, Honey Bear, Jupiter Blacky and Chubby," Willy Nilly exclaimed. “You were to have been rewarded for growling a Are alarm, and now you've upset the house and I don’t know what will hap pen.” Christopher Columbus Crow had flown after Willy Nilly. and follow ed him into the house. “Wfcll,” he cawed, “they’ve re warded themselves I’d say.” But the bears did not speak. They were sound, sound asleep. “Wake up, wake up!” shouted Willy Nilly. Jelly Bear sighed happily in his sleep. Otherwise not a sound came from any of them. “We’re certainly in a jelly-jam,” said Willy Nilly. “What shall we do?” Politics Out In Paris Wednesday PARIS, Nov. 11.— </P) —French officiate* today ordered all political demonstrations excluded from Ar- | mistice Day ceremonies. Strong guard detachments were i instructed to patrol the route along the Champ Elyees over which i French troop will pass in review be fore President Albert Lebrun and Premier Leon Blum. The official mandates followed Leftist charges that Rightists were planning to give the day’s demon strations the appearance of “reac tion against the popular front Blum government.” “Abstain from action disturbing . the unity of French people and de- ! tracting from homage to war dead," ! Minister of Interior Roger Salen gro said in an appeal to the coun try. The communist newspaper Hu- ! manite said Militant Rightist or- i ganization planned to follow the parade with "veritable mobilisa tions in the evening under the guise of social events.” kissed off a reply to those calling him a communist. Summarizing: The president looks fit. He’s enthusiastic. His left eye! shows red from strain. But he how to rest. Odd But TRUE ■-Bv O.
