Illinois-Minded
In his spectacular campaign for Governor by
showing that the State government of North
Carolina is both incompetent and corrupt, Dr.
McDonald insults the intelligence of a great
majority of North Carolinians who have been
believing that the opposite was true.
At the same time this young professor be
trays a stupendous conceit in his attitude that
nobody knew anything about it till he came here
from his native State of Illinois to tell us about
it.
But his conceit is about equalled by his pre
sumption in expecting the North Carolina school
teachers, to whom now he is making a special
appeal, to follow him and support him in his
slanderous animadversions on the good and
honest name of the North Carolina that is giv
ing them employment, and whose pay checks
would doubtless be smaller but for the saving
grace of the tax which he so assiduously abuses.
We can only explain the doctor's wild
obsession that North Carolina has gone crooked
on the theory that he is Illinois-minded. Out in
that western country where he is a native,
rascality and graft in public places is said to be
often the rule rather than the exception.
It may be a great pity if by the smashing of
the slot machines, our Sunday gamblers are
driven back to their poker, which is so much
more expensive.
In a New York supreme court the very in
teresting question has arisen as to how a plain
tiff can recover property which he did not own.
There are various ways of producing evidence
in court to convince a jury that you did possess
a thing when you didn't, but your own sworn
admission in a tax return sheet is not one of
them.
President Roosevelt's plan to pay the farmer
$45 per acre for all the land the farmer puts in
soil-improving crops from his "base acreage," is
not so bad. Then if the tobacco States can get
together on a "control" agreement, you have
another trick turned. It is a beautiful trick for
the farmers—this thing of getting paid for their
labor and their crops at a profit.
It is noted in the papers that the populations
of England and France show a decline. But
the birth rate in the United States is well above
the death rate. Those who read in the Dan
bury Reporter's King correspondence every
week the report of births in Yadkin township,
Stokes county, can easily understand why ,
America will soon have 130 million population.
The average non-resident physician must view
the obstetric field of Stone and Helsabeck with
consuming envy. '
The merchant who cusses the sales tax while
wrapping up your 10-cent purchase for which ,
you paid 11 cents, is not convtvng a subtle hint
to you to vote for Dr. McDonr.M for governor.
He is only throwing out a smoke screen to keep
you from seeing the 7 cents clear profit he is '
gouging the State for every time he sells a
dollars worth. You don't h Kress, Wool- *
worth and other big chain stores sayirg any
thing. They sell many 10-CCIK article:.; every (
day. They are not interested in politic... Only
in making money.
Watch Out, Fishermen
Charles Martin, game protector,
for Stokes county, issues this t
pronunciament: The law sayi
no fishing of any kind whatso
ever from April Ito May 10.
This is to give the fish time and
opportunity to propagate, in
crease and multiply, ana re
plenish, you see.
Also it is a violation of law to
hunt foxes any time without
license. This law is some dis
/
ecu.. 0 *'j . chickens,
which if tlicy euu' 1 ..-on, wouH ,
probably voU' to luivo the fox
! law repealed so everybody could
kill all the foxes they wanted to
ijny time.
