March 5,1937 Removing the Judges from the People The election of the judiciary and the appointment of the judiciary both have their faults, and when we have the one we wish we had the other Regardless of the results following in the wake of the election of a judge by enormous majorities, give us a man of the [ample every time. Toe appointment of the judiciary and other officers of the courts and of the state itself hahve been warped b> the political lash too many times n past 1 store for that system of filling public jio-ts to fnd favor in the minds of the American peo ple Let the people do their own choosing, then if things go haywire it will be of their own making. The high handed business of handling appointments has favored the few at the eapWHg of the mas<*s in too many in stances in the fust This way of shouting democracy 011 eve of political liattus and then turning to the opjiosite side and pull uig f-.r inch-handed a;ipuintment? has no place in a gov< nviit of the people. Until there is something better to lake ihe place of the ballot box, then by all I mean- It: hang on to that liox which is the source of all ;>o?er, except. of couse, for the United States Supreme ( ourt Advertising North Carolina The pro|*isal in >lejle a quarter of a million dollar lunil in |Kornnie ami advertise the extensive rcsotir tfnm mnuntatmo sea, give iis< l i r question, 1 - North Carolina's house in or der' It is ["i-sibie to limit the facts to the ribbons of concreti and the beiulies so lavishly created by nature, but pray hold secret tlie many black spots this progressive State lias failed to erase.

Tall fences should be built along the agricultural routes where farm mime have fallen before an ill economic system and children toil long hours to raise food to feed a hungry world. The child in the held and the ragged youngsters in North Carolina cotton milk and other factories will offset a quarter of a million dollars worth of advertising and even a million and a quarter dollars' worth. Sandwiched between the pleasantries at the several beaches in the east and the beauties of the mountains in the west are poverty, want, country slums, factor ies and fields crowded with youngsters with a center of injustice located some where in between. So ad vertise the coast and the mountains, but ship over the middle. Newspaper Accuracy Detroit Free Dress Newspapers cannot expect to be inafllible. Tbey all make mistakes. When a ncwspapi r n lakes a talcment upon its au thority the public may properly hold it responsible for the accuracy of that statement. When, however, r. r ex-paper quotes someone else, and has used reason .ble diligence in checking the re liability of the party quoted, then the responsibility for misstatement shnutd not nc attributed to the news paper, but to the party quoted. Weather reports, when they go awry, cause people to exclaim that "you can't believe anything the papers say." We know of no newspaper in this country which maintains a weather forecasting service. Weather reports and prophecies are published as they are received from official weather bureaus, whose jx-rsonnel are dealing with uncertain and tempera mental elements, and sometimes are mistaken. A newspaper does not go out and held up a bank or crash a car into the side of a railway train just to get a "story." When such unfortunate happenings occur, a report er is sent to interview eye-witnesses or the police, and it is upon what he is told that the story which ap pears in the paper is largely based. Careful as a newspaper may be in checking and double-checking its information and sources of infor mation, errors of statement will creep into its columns A newspaper thrives or decays upon its reputation for accuracy or lack of accuracy, but no newspaper can be more accurate than those members of a criti cal public whom it quotes or upon whose statements it bases the articles it publishes. Neither Do We Gastonia Gazette. He can't understand the attitude of the Federal au thorities which specifies that the money they advance to the various states must be used on state or through highways. As we understand the proposition, one of the primary objectives of the grant is to provide work for the unemployed; the oilier ought to be that of building roads where they will do the most good. If these two things are true, then surely the money ought to lie expended on the county roads rather than the hard-surfaced highways which are already good. Why dor, I'ncle Sam s|iecify that his money must be used thus and so? Why not turn it over to the State to be u?ed where it is needed the most, and let the county folks, who must certainly know local needs better than folks in Washington or Raleigh, decide which roads need work most? Why, for instance, to get down to practical cases, should $300,000 be spent on the Char lotte-Concord road, which is a practically new high way, and good, rather than be s|ient getting hundreds of farmers in Cabarrus and Macklenburg Countie out of the mud? If any more State or Federal nione) is to lie s|ienl in Gaston County, it ought to go on the dirt roads of the county rather than on more hard These are some of the questions thai arise to per plex us when we get on this road busings. Why don't our congressmen, governors, highway commission members, and others in authority with the Federal folks, make them see that the money is not being spent where it will do the most good?
