THE COUNTRY NEEDS YOUR VOTE
On next batacday, June 4, one of the most
important events of the year 1932 will take
dace, the Democ-atir primary. On that day
officials for the county and state will be nomi.
noted and since North Carolina votes almost
entirely Democratic, it is about as well to say
ejected instead of nominated. On next Satur
day mtn will be se'ectd to carry on the work of
the government for the next two years and to
work out problems that are now facing the
countiy.
At this time th country needs men of
ability and character to lead the people through
one of the worst economic periods that has ever
confronted the American people. It is a time
when the voters should go to the polls and vote
for the men that are capable of solving these
problems and not merely for the fact that a
candidate is a friend or relative, It is the duty
of jvery citizen to vote for the man that hz
firmly telieves will make the best official, wheth
er hn has made a personal promise or not to tho
individual voter.
We must rsmember that the men nominat
ed and elected next Saturday will have a larga
part in the future of this country as well as the
state. The Congressmen we send to Washing
ton will influence other Congressmen and
through them prcblems concerning every indi
vidual in the Uriited States will be passed upon
Thp mm electev1. for governor of this state will
be an important ccg in the governmental ma
chinery of the Federal Government, so we can
readily see that .a great responsibility rests upon
our shoulders next Saturday.
Just who should be elected to represent us
is riot for us to say, but we will say that when
we scratch our ballot Saturday that we are go
ing to cast aside all personal prestige and per
sonal icelings and vote for men who we are
confident can master the situation thrust upon
them when they are seated in office. We will
take our time and vote to the dictates of our
conscience and leave hearsay and propoganda
that we have heard during the past campaign
outside the booth win n we cast our ballot.
So far we have, dealt with State officers
and not mentioned ccur.ty candidates. The
county officers, of course will be closer home
and it will be through them that we will have
to derond to protect c ;r property, educate ou'
i-J.-ildid;, keep our i cfi government from run
ning into the rocky .h v. c. of , financial destruc
tion, Our local cou.tty officers should be voted
fcr in the same frame of mind as the state and
national officers. The same time and care should
be taken to vote for township constable as for
pros'cVn of the United States. Since there
is a pn aler number of candidates put for county
cff.'-e i h is year than ui-jal, special care should
bp ut;: in selecting tb'se men that are offering
th-mat-ives for public service. There is certain
ty 3. v;ist difference .'11 1 hv s bility of the candi
dates, Tr.r it would be almost impossible for six
ei?ht or nine men from every walk of life to
posspss- the same ability in filling the same
Another thought along this lise that comes
to mind at this time is this. Every citizen of vot
ing age should exercise that right by selecting
men under whose leadership he will live dur
i g the next two years. Many people are not
interested in politics and say let the other fel
low vote, mirie won't count much anyway. And
nine times out of ten the man that refuses to
vote is the first to growl, grumble and refuse
to fall in harness with the man that his neigh
bor elected. A perso i ha!; doesn't vote shoald
hive little or nothing to say about the men that
the other man elects if lie doesn't help keep th
incompetent out of office.
With all the facts before us, we urge tht
eiy citizen of voting age vote Saturday, and
vote nly for men that, you arc confident can

ATTEND TH ELECTION PARTY SATUR
DAY NIGHT
It is q'Uo unusual for a weekly newspaper
to throw parties, but The Mounainei?r is break
ing this rale Saturday night and giving a party
to whi.n everyone is invited, either in person ;
or by telephone. By special arrangement wi:ii
the judges of the county precincts, the results
of the primary Saturday will be posted in large
letters or charts in front of this office Satur
day niht. Si'ch keen interest has been showa
that we thought perhaps the people whom this
paper serves would be interested in getting the
n?ws with'n a few hours after the polls close.
W have gone to quite a bit of expense to
"pull" hj: party and iie only renumeratioi
we expect is for you to take advantage of the
service vhvh we are offering The only thing
we are . sking is, please remember we can't go
into def.il w:h you on the phone on the ela
tion. We surest that you write the names i.t
Candida1 d -wn before you ci.ll and then it
will be much easier to write the number of
votes opposite each name.
Any time J-.fter 9 o'clock we should be able
to give some results.
DON'T KNOCK, PULL
In a nearby neighborhood there is an old
colonial type home where a lovely old couple
reside. As one approachi-s the house there is
nothing to distinguish it from any other ordi
nary country home until you start to knock to
gain entrance, and thm you will find a small
neat sign, just about where one usually knocks
on a door, which reads, "Don't Knock, Pull."
That seems rather odd, until upon second in
vestigation you find a small cord hanging from
the ceiling of the porch.
Following instructions, the cord is pulled
arid the tingle of a small bell is heard within,
and in a few seconds a lovely old lady opens the
door and invites you inside.
On commenting on the odd door bell the
old lady replied, "well, it is rather old fashion
ed, but we like it. It is a motto that we try to
live up to.' We have found that pulling gets
us farther along in the world than knocking."
There is a lot of truth in what that old lady
said. It seems that right at this time it would
be worth while if we kept that slogan on our
minds and practiced it more. The world today
needs more pulling and less knocking than ever
before, and when we null instead of knock we
will certainly, as at the farm bouse, hear the
ring of the prosperity bell. I tt's pull; we wiU
get an answer to our fondest 1 opes much sojn
er than by knodking.
WHY NOT PROHIBIT RANSOMS?
, If there was a rational law against the
l aying of any ransom for kidnaped children,
would not that ha ye a tendency to put a stop
to kidnaping? Of corrse, loving parents wouid
give anything they have for tin letum of the
child, once it is stolon, and the knowledge that
some money may be obtained in that way may
cause many kidnapings that would otherwise
not be thought of. The fiends (no words :'s
helli jh enough to describe such a being) hav j
proved in the Lindbergh case that there is no
honor about them. Making it a capital offense
will do no good unless the kidnapers can be
apprehended, and they seem to be wise enough
to get f way with it in too many cases. Let s
stoi, apr ealing, to the underworld for anything.

HONEST CAM PAINING
'When The Stir recently called attention
to a candidate who is playing fair and square
enouo-h with the voters to find but just how
many promises he can fulfill before he starts
making promises there were those who contend
ed that the paper was espousing that candidate.
Such contentions always bob up in a political
campaign and deserve scant attention. The
Star, however, would make it plain that it is
not, as a community organ supporting or boos t
inf any particular local canaidate. We merely
called to the attention of readers and voters
that at least one candidate is following the fair
and just policy of promising only what he can
deliver. Had Mr. Hoover teen sure about his
two automobiles in every garage, his full dinner
pail and his prosperity in 1928, perhaps we
would not be where we are today or perchance
Mr. Hoover wouldn't be president. Promises
are easily made; fulfilling them is another mat
ter. With limes as they are the average man
has about decided to know what he is getting
befoie he gets it . No candidate is treating a
voter right when he promises something he
knows he cannot deliver or something he is not
ure he can deliver. We admire and all thought
ful citizens admire, any and all candidates who
promise enly what they can do. Promises made
just to get votes got by pretty well when every
one was prosperous and times were good, but
with candidates as they are now the people are
going to demand that promises be lived up to,
or know why. Any and all candidates who find
Out what they can deliver before promising
have the commendation of this paper and wiU
get it. That commendation is not a personal
matter, but is extended to all the types, regard
less of how we may feel about individual can
didates and will support witb personal votes.
It's a matter of fair play with the voters."

What threatens to become t. News
paper Classic is a piece, "I Lake the
Depression," written by Henr Ansley
of the Amarillo (Texas) Globe-News,
which has not only been going .he
rounds of the press of the Lone Star
state but which is now being widely
reprinted outside its bdrders. In case
is on a visit I you haven't seen it, here it is:
I like the Repression. No more pros
perity for me.
I have had more fun since the de
pression started than I evp had in
my life; I had forgotten how to live
what it meant to have real friends,
what it was like to eat common every
day food. Fact is, I was getting just
a little high hat.
Three years ago, only one man of
tin: News-Globe organization could be
out of town at a time and he had to
leave at the last minute and get back
as soon as possible. Many times 1
have driven 100 -miles to a banquet,
sat through three hours of bunk in
oidar to make a ffve-minute speech,
then drive the 100 miles back so as to
get ready for work the next morning.
Nowadays, as many News-Globe em.
ployees as are invited make those
trips and we stay as long as we want
to. The whole outfit could leave the
office now and it wouldn't make any
difference.
I like the depression. I have time to
visit my friends, to make new ones.
Two years ago when I went to a neigh
boring town, I always stayed at the
hotel. Now I go home with my friends,
stay all night and enjoy homecooking.
I have even spent the week-end with
'some of the boys who have been kind
a enough to invite me.
i It's great to drop into a store and
I feel that you can spend an hour or two
or three or a half day just visiting
land not feel that you are wasting
valuable time. I like the depression.
! I am getting acquanted with my
neighbors. In the last six months I
have become acquanted with folks
who have been living next door to me
for three years. I am following the
Biblical admonition, "Love your neigh
bors." One of my neighbors has one of
the best looking wives I have ever
seen. She is a dandy. I am getting ac
quainted with my neighbors and learn
ing to love them.
Three years ago, I ordered by cloth
es from a merchant tailor two and
three suits at a time. AH my clothes
were good ones. I was always dressed
up. liut now, I haven't bought a suit
in two years. I am mighty proud of my
Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes. When
I dress up, I am dressed up and I
don't mean maybe. I like the depj.-es-

Methinks their friendship's come to

If their glad smiles will only last

For it's just before election.
And if 1 seem to pass one by,
