May 8. 1936 "People Who Live in Glass Houses? Nothing quite so ridiculous has come out of the gubernatorial campaign, so far as our observation goes, as the charge Sandy Graham thrust at Clyde rtoey by saying that Hoe) was at the south end of t telephone line and Max Gardner was directing his ampaign from Washington. We are not running the Hoey campaign, though ve doubt the truth of the Graham statement. We do iot intend to carry his charge to court to prove or leny-.it, yet we are frank in saying that we cannot tnderstand how any telephone conversation can have is much influence as a friendly handclasp and a sweet nouth-to-ear conversation and a friendly corporation ?mbrace. Perhaps Graham has forgoten the old safe y first adage: "Those who live in glass houses should lot throw stones.' Tom Bost Reads the Signs Tom Bust, the Raleigh correspondent of the Greens xiro Daily News, has discovered,a small dent in Mc Donalds lead, which he interprets as evidence that the Doctor's armor is cracking While Mr. Bost. in the t>ast, lias been regarded as a fairly good inter preter of jxilitieal signs, it now seems that he may be making his calculations from "shadows cast by. false' beacons. He takes courage in the fact that when Al Smith was running for President, the work which saved the count) of Wake to Smith was done by citizens who were not officeholders and,.neither were any of the members of their families. He says the same work is now being done by individuals who have no ma chine connections. (Say, Mr. Bost, is there a ina ihine And if there is, who comprises it and who are its missionaries?) We would like to know if there is any one in Wake County who is not a bit sorry that they pulled their coats off and hurrahed for Al Smith, who it has since been found has proved to be one of the arch traitor* of the century, outclassing Benedict Arnold by many fold Mr. Bust goes on to say that this type of campaign will continue for 30 days and political leaders claim it has never failed yet. Of course, this is a matter worthy of consideration, and it has gotten many peo ple much disturbed. The blow the McDonald cam paign has struck is centered in Raleigh, where it has scared some of the officeholders white in the gills. In Sact, Raleigh looks like it has been struck by a hookworm epidemic, there are so many pale, anemic looking officeholders there, but their disease is prob ably just pure fright. North Carolina voters want nothing but a fair deal and a fair share of the burdens and blessings of gov ernment?no special favors. Where Credit Is Due As a community citizen, we would like to commend the town authorities for |iermitting the little street waifs to carry around their boxes for the purpose of shining shoes on the streets and earning a few nickles. Any person trying to earn money honestly needs en couragement, and when we consider that these boys own no land and have no opportunities to look for ward to except those granted by the grace of others. We know that the boys ask several times a day if they may "shine em up" but it does not cause much disturbance or annoyance. ' And while we are on the subject, we would be glad ' to know why the parties who complain about the shine boys have not raised any objection to several white men who get drunk and go about the streets and public places of the town reeling and rocking, cursing and "slobbering," making themselves nuis anecs by liegging and arguing, to the disgrace of the town? It seems to us that since we have a good jail, there is no reason why such characters should not be taken care of in a way that would relieve the public of undergoing such indignities. The pro[ier thing to do is to la>' aside our fear and favoritism and take things as they come, little, big, old, and young. Security Watauga Democrat. The talk revolving about various forms of social security legislation, from the Townsend $200 a month pro|x>sal down to the enacted legislation, involving |ierhaps 10 |>er cent of the expenditure, brings to the attention with unusual clarity the actual figures as to what chance, a man has of gaining for himself an in dependen't old age. Out of every 100 men 65 years or older, 5 have cinde|>endent incomes of sufficient size to enable them to retire and live comfortably. ? Twenty-eight out of the hundred must go on work ing for an existence, well knowing that a few years will have ended their period of earning power. Twenty-eight out of the hundred are de|>endents. Their relatives, friends or charity must support them. I'ity is that the men who fail in many instances are no less able, aggressive or honorable than those who succeed. Unforeseen emergency expenditures, illness, unsound investment annd [xxjr management all contribute to their fiscal undoing. That a con servative effort is being made to |>artially even up the "economic score between the aged is gratifying. A security program which is reasonably successful in its working would |>erhai>s be the greatest economic and social achievement of the age. SHINGLES FOR SALE: WOOD juniper shingles.
