C., under the act ot Congress of March 3, 1879. _ Friday, June 21, 1935 Sure, Get a Lobbyist The Greensboro Daily News may be entirely right in it> criticism of the North C arolina education As sociation for employing a lobbyist to look after the interest of the school teachers—which are the most important factors in our entire educational system \et we can hardly agree with that able newspaper. It would seem natural, if that paper is so concerned about the evils of lobbying, that it would run mans pages crying out against the private employers of lob byists whose only purpose was to avoid the obligation of carrying a fair share of the burdens of state so that they might make big dividends from little service ren dered. Experience has shown that the laborer, the farmer, and the unorganized man will not get much unless he hires a man to look after his interests: so why not let the farmer, the laborer, the educator—of which there are many thousands—have a few $5,000 men. say like Mr. George Ross Pou, or Mr, James H. l’ou, or, say, Messrs. Fuller, Reed & Fuller, to see that they do not have to pay any more tax in proportion than the lobby-employing gang that is now having such powerful influence on our present and past Gen eral Assemblies? It evidently pays to have lobbyists, or the wealthy would not shell out so generously. They do not pay for fun—they pay for service. Advice To College Graduates Josephus Daniels’ advice to college graduates to go into politics was not bad; for, certainly the youthful students need to study the science of government. The old idea of a man’s entering politics for the honor that might follow has become so disgusting that people often regard it as a dishonor rather than an honor. Especially does this opinion prevail when many lawmakers want certain jobs that they might get better acquainted with corporation bosses and other big industrial leaders and increase their chances for adding to their income. When a leader is found who can influence men, the big fellow goes to him with good fees. He does not have to know law, for all nec essary knowledge is furnished from headquarters. All thev are called upon to do is button hole or bootleg the unsuspecting and ignorant members of the next session, and too often they pick the next legislature. , l'p until now, the rights of those men and women j who do the work have been too often ignored by j those legislators who enter public life simply for the i honor they migh find there. An intelligent electorate is the public’s greatest need, and the problems of government must be stud- j ied to bring this about. The colleges and universities should teach government after a more thorough and practical plan. When the side of the masses is as ewll understood as the side of the classes then bail politics will fade out of the picture. Unwept. Dishonored, and Unsung ! Some of the modern reforms are very commendable. In a picture published recently of 24 young men com prising a graduating closs of 40 years ago, nearly half of them were shown to have some sign of decoration by a rather useless, nasty appearing ornament glued to or grown from their upper lips, generally desig nated as a "mustache.’’ Now, within the short space of 40 years, even col lege boys know better than to wear a mustache, and even sjirls no longer admire such unsightly decora tion. With such advancement in knowledge and science, we say let the good work go on. Need Some Lessons -® When the new highway patrolmen get into action, we hope to see all violators of traffic regulations brought into court and taught how to obey the traf fic laws. Such a course will save 75 per cent of the traffic deaths in this State, as well as pay a fine di vidend in lines and forfeitures. The people need to be taught. Much cotton in Sampson County lias been planted for the third time with a poor stand still being secured.

DUPREE, SR, & SONS I TIRES MAY LOOK ALIKE ON THE OUTSIDE ON THE INSIDE THEY ARE DIFFERENT HEAT ou the inside created by friction is the main cause of blowouts. Firestone Tires are different on the inside—they are built with the patented extra process of Gum-Dipping that soaks every cord and insulates every strand with pure liquid rubber, preventing internal friction and heat. No other make of tire is Gum-Dipped. iWlien you realize that there were 882,000 automobile accidents in 1934, injuring 954,000 people and killing 36,000, and that 43,000 of these accidents were caused by blowouts, punctures mid skidding, you will be more interested in the make of tires you use on your car. Firestone performance records again emphasize the undisputed evidence that Firestone Tires are [ not only blowout-proof, but give greatest protection l against skidding. There are three questions and answers that will solve the problem of what tires to buy: ' QUESTION 1—"Will the tread give me the “^greatest traction and protection against ^skidding?" ANSWER—Recent tests by a leading University 'show that Firestone High Speed Non-Skid Tires stop a car 15% quicker than any other of the leading makes. For eight consecutive years Firestone Tires have been on the winning car in the dangerous Pike’s Peak Race where a skid means death. This is > undisputed evidence that Firestone gives car owners greatest protection against skidding. QUESTION 2—"Are they blowout-proof?" ANSWER—Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires have the most amazing records foi being blowout-proof of any tires ever built. In the gruelling 500-Mile Race at Indianapolis, May 30th, every one of the 33 car* was equipped with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tire*. Kelly Petillo won the race and b'oke the record over this 26-year-old rough brick track without tire trouble — in fact, not one of the 33 driver* had tire trouble of any kind. Ab Jenkins drove his 5,000 pound car on Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires over the hot salt beds of Utah, 3,000 miles in 23Vfe hours, at an average speed of 127.2 miles per hour, with temperatures as high as 120°, without tire trouble of any kind. These are most amazing proofs of blowout protection ever known. QUESTION 3—"Without sacrificing these two important safety features will they give me longer mileage, thus making them the most economical tires I can buy?' ANSWER—Firestone High Speed Tires not only give you more than 50% longer wear, but also lowest cost per mile. This is made possible by the tough, wear-resisting tread built with higher shoulders and a wider, flatter contour. This thick, rugged, scientifically designed tread is held securely to the Gum-Dipped cord body by Firestone’s patented construction of two extra layers of cords under the tread. This is a special construction feature not used in any other tire. Unequaled mileage records by thousands of car owners add undisputed evidence of the longer wear and greater economy of Firestone High Speed Tires. 1 University tests show Firestone High Speed Tires stop cars 15 to 25% quicker 2 Gum-Dipped Cords \ give greater blowou protection. Gum-Dipping it not used in other tires ‘ 3 Wider, flatter head give* more than 50% longer non-ikid wear HIGH SPEED TYPE QumD&ied.
