The captain was simply: DON’T SHOOT OFF YOUR MOUTH! A TACTICAL BLUNDER La.st wofk THE P1IA)T eai ried the .stdry of thi- nomination of Eii.qene C. Stovt'ns by the coini ty Republican convention for the State Hou.se of Kepre.sentatives Thi.s .story was factual. The onlv blunder was that the Re- hn nominated Mr. 1 to u.sk the iionii- • j nee if he would accept the noni- I ination and run for tlie office. ! As a matter of fact, accordin.ij; to Mr. Stevens' own statement, the first he knew of his nomination was the news stor\' in TIIK PI- announces this week the pur-j LOT. chase and installation of a' Our main comment is that this brand new, latest model Mer-[ i'e\ eaLs a .sad state in Hepublie.'n {^enthaler Linotype machine as j politics. Imagine a political con- the latest addition to the print-; fab being called witliout hav'ny The PUBLIC SPEAKING ing plant which puts out THE PILOT weekly newspaper and all kinds of fine job printin'’. The machine itself nearly de fies description. Some of the smartest men in town have watched a linotype in action, then have shaken their heads and exclaimed. “That machine's smarter than I am!” But the ma- fhine itself is only one of the new features. In addition, there are five completely new type faces with the machine which will be used in THE PILOT and are available for the finest kind of booklet, pamphlet and similar job work. This Model 8 Linotype is the second large piece of modern printing equipment which The Pilot has installed in the past six months. Last November, a high speed Miehle Verticle 36 job press was put to work for the printing customers of The Pilot. Besides being able to turn out printing speedily, the Miehle a.s- sures a high class printing job. The new' Linotype machine with its new type faces provides the means for further improvement of printing for our customers. As it happened. The Pilot was fortunate in obtaining the Lin otype machine at this time; for it was the last one shipped out by the factory before a govern- lined up every nommee a;ia every person who would nomi nate the person of choice. Let it never be said of a Dem ocratic Party organization, young or old. that a convention or confab would ever be held' without leaders first determin-! ing who would be nominated for what office and what action W’ould be taken. SUCH BAD USE OF NICE TERMS The People’s Forum of the Raleigh News and Observer pro vides an outlet for crack-pots (who don't have papers of their own), a meeting place of argu- mentive souls, and a platform for public opinion to air its views. Some logic in these letters is absolutely remarkable, as wit ness the writings of one J. W. Stroud of Richmond, Va., who have been carrying on a tirade against Negroes in a series of let ters in the Forum. Mr. Stroud re cently expres.sed this outlandish idea: “Some Negroes are trying to use democracy and Christianity as stepping stones to political and social equality.” What an idea! To think that aynone should try to interpret democracy as “political equal ity"—01 to interpret Christian- To the Kiiitor: .■\s an .‘\niencan citi/.in who has lived thirty-five years in India anci the native states, 1 feel eonipelled to remonstrate with you on thi' scope of the editorial appearing ;n The Pilot of .\pnl H. 1 do not for a moment claim th.it lintain has yiven India a pel ici't government in the vi-ars since ‘lie British iiecame dominant in tha', fireat Mih i'ontinent I hav»' yet to see or hear of a perfect (’overnnieat in this impi'ifect world of ours.

Although she does not name specific people anci places in her letter, Mrs. Irwin drew upon facts and observations obtained auring four months stay here. Perhaps there will be those among THE PILOT’S readers who recognize their own words, as quoted by Mrs. Irwin. It may be that seeing these words in print as others have heard them will brir\g a realization of the undermining of war effort that such loose talk can bring about.
