(An Editorial.)
THE "NEXT GOVERNOR."
Not a single "yeah?" broke the subdued and
respectful atmosphere of the court house audi
torium Tuesday at the noon recess of court when
the Hon. Robert H. McNeill arose and told his
Stokes county audience that the reason he had
come to speak to them was "because he loved
them."
As the speaker then took a drink of water it ,
may be that be made this convenient gesture to .
hide his deen emotion. We would not for a mo
ment concede that he was disconcerted by the
Sundry sly winks that went around f'om tin.*
interspersed through the audience —
jj-orne 30 or 40 per cent, of the crowd.
Mr. McNeill, in case you rlon't know, is a candi
date for Governor of North Carolina from
Wilkes county. He is about 400 miles from
iWilkes, having been a comfortable corporation,
j lawyer in Washington, D. C., for a third of ci,
! century and has not paid taxes in North Caroli- j
| na for 30 years. ,
! Yet he condescend? at intervals to come down,
;fo help "save the State." At this particular time !
there appears to be an interval
Mr. McNeill began his address by stating very
! sincerely that he would speak the truth. But in
the next sentence he made the amazing state
ment that Roosevelt had snent 53 billions of dol
lars to bring back prosperity, and had failed.
Now we must be charitable to Mr. McNeill
iwhen he variegates from the facts, as he is a,
( protegee of Wendell Willkie and carries no sec
| retary with him to correct his misstatements. |
\nother thing, Mr. McNeill appears to be a sort
of pious person, who would not deflect to cussing
to divert hearers' minds from the topic
in hand. Profanity is a well known resort of
those who are trapped in their reasoning, and
who in their embarassment wish "Kb hell with
details."
As the national debt is now only some 45 bil
lions of dollars, counting the 16 billion deficit
, that Hoover left, the 8 and a half billions of sol
dier bonus, the vast millions loaned by Recon
i struction Finance Corporation to save insurance
companies, banks, and business concerns, due to
be paid back, the uncounted millions loaned to
, farmers to save their farms, to be paid back, and
i other unnumbered millions to feed and clothe
the multitudes that languished when last Mr.
. McNeill's party reigned in the nation—the ques
tion in the minds of many of his hearers was
. "How come?"
, The late appropriation of more than 12 billions
for national defense is also ineluded in Mr. Mc
» NeiJl's fiscal indictment.
! Mr. McNeill paid his scornful respects to crop
: control and asked that all those in the audience
1 who had been paid back money "wrongfully
taken" from them by the government, hold up
1 their hands.
Not a hand was raised, but a few fellows on a
1 back seat that the day before had averaged
25 cents for their tobaceo in Winston-Salem
and Madison smiled. Possibly they recalled
1930-31-32 when the average syrocketed around
i 3 cents, thought of today with the foreign war
froing on, exports cut off, and the giant surplus
• left over from last year and yet—2s cents.
The suave gentleman from Washington now
; turned to the State administration, and expatia
| ted on the extravagance of the Raleigh re
gime. He said he oould run the State govern
ment on 67 million dollars, whereas the present
coßt i»—eakee alive—-over a hundred million, tf
™ mistake not One of his first steps in this
magic salvage to the t r. iyers would be, he re
| ;**ale3, to repeal the sales tax which now onfr zra
minions in revenue.
