When the nominees are named and elect
ed, the winners should recognize that they
belong to all the people. And the people, re
gardless of who they voted for, should re
gal’d their officers, representatives and sen
atoi as then own. Whoever is elected en
ters office by a majority, it is true, but the
elected should remember that they are to
respect the minority along with the ma
jority The people should remember that
those who are elected should receive con
sideration that goes with the respective of
fice.
Political campaigns an* good in that they
create interest in government. Unguarded
words and heated arguments should not
linger after the close of the campaign, but
all should reform their ranks and march
forward in harmony and peace.
The particular candidate of our choice
may not win. but once nominated and elect
ed he belongs to all ol us, and we solemnly
accept the responsibility of fair citizens to
respect the office and lend a helping hand
when to do so the interests of the countv,
state, nation and all the people are advanc
Hack m the seventeenth century a small
group ol neurotic teen-agers developed hvs
1fitc.iil fits, and apeared possessed of the
devil. They accused others of being, witches,
claiming they had been afflicted by the
magic spell. The youngsters, out of spite
or hate or a publicity maze, accused inno
cent persons ol being witches.
An humble, (lod-fearmg grandmother by
the name of Rebecca Nurse, was removed
from a sick bed and carried away to be hang

was centered in Massachusetts How un
founded. cruel and ridiculous it all appears
today.
But in Washington and North Carolina,
the politicians for fame, fancy or political
reasons are today yelling "witch,” and re
sorting to character assassination. With a
return to fairness and reason, the charges
Will be placed in the same category now oc
cupied by the witch charges of two hundred
years ago.
But the practice today in our period of
self-claimed enlightenment is more pro
foundly confounding, detestable and re
grettable.
Three great missions were launched in
the world a short time ago, and time only
will tell if they meet with success or failure.
Trygve Lie, Secretary General, went to
Moscow to save the United Nations. Dean
Aeheson, Secretary of State, went to Europe
to save the Atlantic Pact. And President
Harry Truman went west to save the Admin
istration.
At least two strikes hud been called on
all three missionaries before they started.
The Communists had long been throwing
curves to Mr. Lie. Outside the munitions
makers and a lew others, the economy-mind
ed were digging away at the Atlantic’ Pact
foundation. And the Republicans haven’t
stopped sniping and attacking the Democrats
in five generations.
All three of the men have important mis
sions, but they have a detenmiud and com
bined opposition: those who claim they can
do it better and those who want none of it.
The talent of success is nothing more thar
doing what you can do well; and doing wei
whatever you do, without a thought of fame

The man who tries to prove guilt by asso

likely to find himself on absurdly shaky,
ground. For example, it would not be hare
to show by this process that Senator Wher

a noisy defender of the McCarthy charge.'
against the State Department, has voted or:
almost every issue of foreign policy straight
down the Communist party line.
Mr. Alsop raises this point not only as to
Senator Wherry but also as to Senators Mc
Carthy and Taft.
The Soviet line runs naturally in opposi
tion to items like aid to Greece and Turkey,
peacetime selective service for the United
States, the Atlantic Pact, the Marshall Plan
and its later organization in ERP and ECA;
and the proposal of military aid and pledges
of defense for the pact nations. On every
one of these items, the Wherry position as
established by his vote is identical with the
Communists,’ as Mr. Alsop writes in his let

Is This Infanticide?

Christian Uriah!
A trial balance on television,, struck re
cently in a searching editorial from the pen
of Norman Cousins in the Saturday Review
of Literature, leaves television deep in the
i ed.
Christian Herald is concerned and
troubled. The issues involved arc great. They
go to the heart of the home life of America.
They strike deep into social, moral and
spiritual values. To evade them now will ae
j cumulate graver troubles for the future.
Among the illustrations cited by Norman
I Cousins arc' these two. In a Boston suburb
a 9-year-old boy reluctantly showed his
father a report card heavily decorated with
red marks, lit' then proposed one way of
getting out of the embarrassment: they could
give the teacher a box of poisoned chocolates
lor Christmas; "It’s easy, Dad, they did it on
television last week. A man wanted to kill
his wife, so he gave her candy with poison
in it and she didn't know who did it."
From Brooklyn comes this story of a (i
year-old who asked his policeman father for
real bullets because his little sister "doesn’t
j die lor real when 1 shoot her, like they do
when liopalong Cassidy kills them.” For
good measure' I add the story of a housemaid
who caught a 7-year-old sprinkling ground
glass into the family’s lamb stew. It was
purely an experiment inspired by normal
curiosity to learn whether it would really
work as well as it did on television.
Norman Cousin’s editorial is comprehen
sive. He does not argue for "highbrowism”
j < r for the conversation of TV into an "ex
tension-of the classroom." He is for enter
tainment. Also he sees"chinks of light in the
tunnel,” though he concludes—and with him
we agree—that "for every half-hour worth
seeing there are literally days of wrath and
writhing.”
Here is what someone has named a “bil
lion-dollar blunder” that has begun to put
skids under Hollywood, that has disfigured
much of radio but that has to date used the
same shifting sands for the foundations of
TV. The editor of the1 Saturday Review of
Literature is of the opinion that television
is being murdered in its cradle by its own
parents. If the reponsible parties really
want the baby to grow up, they had better
! loosen their grip on the child’s throat!
Invited
To what extent and by whatever methods
the federal government may have employed
in moving in on or infringing upon State
government or lights, one tiling is certain
that Big Papa is being invited into the
states to help battle crime.
Such antics as the gambling syndicates in
a dozen or more states, murder in Kansas
City and so on are serving as a strong vacu
um to literally suck in Uncle Sam’s forces.
Crime conditions, breaking all records de
mand action from every level, all of which
would give the liquor folks a perfect haven
to yap-yap if prohibition was in existence.
Tell All The Fads
■v i - -».
The National City bank of New York re
cently completed a survey of the meat pack
ing business, and found that the low tost is
not equalled in any society whether capital
istic, socialistic or communist.
That’s very interesting, but why couldn't
the bank extend its survey to determine
why meats still cost so much when the ani
mals leave the farm at below cost of produc
tion.

A fishing trip serves ns a darned good way to catch
up on vour thinking. We know that, for we went
fishing and caught an idea -one which we are
going to use. There is too much looking over
insurance and making (folieies the starting point of
an insurance program. That is wrong -hazards,
the hazards which surround our clients, form the
proper starting point. Which ones are the greatest?
Which ones should lie tirst. insured against? These

Educated at Trinitv College, now Duke University, class MHO,
Senator Csmwa wav. the first Pan-hen * minty citizen to serve
in the Slate Senate in nearly 50 years, ite served on tiie follow
ing Committees in 1!I4!I: Roads, Appropriations, Fisheries, Wat
er Commerce, Wild Life and others, lie is a Scottish Kite Mason
and Shriner. Served ten years as a member of the I'amlieo
County Hoard of Education, eight years as chairman.
Sam Cainpen is a line gentleman, lie is a farmer and small
merchant. He stands for the same things that w* stand for in
Martin County.
Every since 1910 he has worked in Pamlico County for Martin
County candidates' for the senate. He worked for Harry
Stubbs. Clayton Moore. Elbert S. Peel, Robert L. Coburn and
Hugh G. Horton. Pamlico County went strong for everyone
of these candidates. It would seem to me that we should sup
port Sam Campen Saturday.
In this race you have to vote for two candidates. Everyone in
Martin County should and will vote for Hugh Horton. When
you vote for Hugh Horton vote lor Sam Cainpen also.

DOES IIYDE COUNTY If ANT WILLIAMS?
Mr. O. L. Williams says that Hyde County wants a Hyde Coun
ty man.
Mr. Williams went to the Legislature from Hyde in 1933,
Mr. Williams was defeated for Representative from Hvde in
193P. by Geo. E. Davis.
Mr. Williams was defeated for Representative from Hyde in
1940 by George T. Davis.
Mr. Williams was defeated for Representative from Hvde in
1942 by George T. Davis.
Hyde voted against him three times since 1935. Why should
one think Hyde County wants him in the Senate in 1951?
Hyde furnished a Senator 1903, 1911, 1925, and 192?.
Pamlico furnished a Senator !9llt and 1949.
Sam Campen will appreciate your vote and support.

work done for him and other Martin County candidates hy
