THE ELKIN TRIBUNE Published Every Tharsday by ELK PRINTING COMPANY, Inc. Elkin, N. C. Thursday, September 7, 1939 Entered at the post office at ElkJo, N. C., as second-class matter. C. S. FOSTER .President H. F. LAFFOON - - Secretary-Treasurer SUBSCRIPTION RATES, PER YEAR In the State, 91.50 Out of the State, t&M DOLLAR DAYS In spite of the war mongers what • they have brought about in Europe, Eikin's progressive merchants are able to think in terms of service instead of death and des , truction. For "service" is really what Dol lar Days this week-end will mean to the : people of this community. If making need ed merchandise available at lowered prices isn't service, then we'd be wondering what service is. There is no purpose here to ballyhoo the value-giving event scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It doesn't need bally hooing. Elkin merchants have built their reputation for unusual and dependable of ferings for these events, and their patrons have come to look forward to these co-op • erative Dollar Days in the certainty that they will be able to stretch their budget dol lar to cover the purchase of more than or dinarily can be expected of it, and the mer chants, proud of their record and their pat ronage, find pleasure in sharing their profits on these special occasions. As explained in our news columns, prac tically every store in town will have part in this event. Not in an effort to clear their shelves and counters of shelf-worn odds and ends, for we happen to know that much new , merchandise, ordered for this occasion is only now being unpacked and priced, in an ticipation of three days of this "service" we are talking about. May we not suggest that you make your plans to visit our stores the first day if pos sible, for two reasons: first, because of the better opportunity for selection, and second, because a spread of the buying is only fair to the clerks who will be worn to a frazzle • when the event closes Saturday evening. It will be more satisfactory to the customer, too, if he or she can shop more leisurely. This issue of the Tribune is being used by the merchants to convey the messages to the people of this community and our neigh bors beyond. The ads are worth reading and i studying for they speak of values, special low prices, that are volunteered solely for this occasion. Read every one of them. And another thing: Five thousand extra copies of the Tribune are being printed this week. Many of these papers will go into the hands of those who are not reading it reg ularly. We think we are consistent when • we say that we are publishing a good news paper, one of the better kind. Of course we will appreciate each and every new sub scriber resulting from this wide distribu tion. We will welcome you to our reader • family under the promise that we strive each week to give you more than your mpngy!s worth. But above all be on hand Thursday, Fri oay and Saturday to get your share of the values. As the Game Is Played Those who dabble around in the Raleigh • political dope bucket profess to see Gov ernor Hoey as pursuing a hands-off policy in the trivial little matter selecting the next Governor of North Carolina. As one of them puts it, the Governor looks upon this as a matter for the voters to decide without any help or hindrance from him and that he pro poses to let them go to it without the bene fit of clergy. We are wondering why all this insistence sbout neutrality. Obviously there are those among the avowed candidates for the gov ernorship that the Hoey administration uould rather not make the grade, and it is ; barely possible that at least one among them would be quite welcome. Then why not be frank and say so? There would be no sin in that comparable to what might be set down as outright deceit. For as certain as the wart on your nose the administration Mill take a hand in the selection. Not, that is, to the extent of hiring a brass band and a loud speaker, but the whisper will go down the line and it will be surprising how well it is heeded. If the administration cannot resist the temptation to meddle in minor contests, it is unreasonable to expect it to steer clear of such an important matter as looking after the succession. There are ways in which the ; influence of the Governor can be used, with out too much boldness and baldness—quiet, gum-shoe ways that are no less effective because they happen to be cushioned and soft-pedaled. As the story goes a promising Young Democrat was being pressed for a place of i honor in that organization, when from close to the Governor came word that his selec tiori would hardly be exactly pleasing, al though he was a trusted appointee and had gone down the line with the best of them. The trouble was that on one or two occa sions the young man had balked against ad ministration policies, notably in connection with the diversion of game funds, and for this he was to be labeled for the junk-heap. It was suggested that the Young Democrats organization couldn't afford to give prefer ment to one who couldn't always string along with the Governor. It could be of course that Governor Hoey didn't know of this over-zealous interest, but it came from so close to his official family that one will be excused fdr concluding that he knew and approved. And that, we reckon, is how the hands cff game will be played in the race for the governorship. It Had to Come It doesn't reflect credit on the states manship of the world that any one man, particularly a none-too-competent paper hanger is able to plunge the world ipto con flict—war that has no more justification than the satisfying of human greed for power. In spite of all his protestation the world recognizes Adolf Hitler as the cause of all the present world misery that comes from armed conflict. In his insane madness he has proven himself a genius in stiff-arm diplomacy, and his success in getting what ever he has wanted without bloodshed, at cnce inspired his people and swelled his ego to the point where he sincerely believed himself a superman, not ever to be denied anything he coveted. European statesmen know now that they trusted him too far, that he sucked them in for a nice ride down the river; they know that if, when he set out to occupy the Rhine land, he had met resistance, his soldiers al ready had their orders to retreat; that if England and France had kept a stiff upper lip at Munich there would not have been the gobbling up of Czechoslovakia. And if to day the Czech army and the Skoda muni tions plant, the second largest in the world, were available to Britain and France instead of being a potential asset to Germany, the present task would be a lot easier. But it had to come—this organized ef fort to hunt down Europe's mad dog and re move him as a threat to world society and civilization. For everyone knows that Bri tain and France are not fighting for Danzig or the Polish corridor. Even Poland would not consider Danzig worth the misery of war and would have been willing to barter with the corridor. But Hitler's bloodless successes had to be stopped somewhere, else the British and French empires eventually would have been reduced to puppet states and Poland would have been ground to a pulp in the German maw. That's why the business of stopping has begun. And there can be but one answer. No matter how long the contest, and admittedly it will be a long one, Germany as represent ed in Hitler must be subdued. Civilization is at stake and demands it, human right eousness depends upon it. And like it or not, a part of that responsibility will be ours —in one form or another. Mississippi's Choice Those who claim that Southern Demo crats are about ready to renounce the New Deal, have reason to be less certain about it since Mississippi went to the polls to nom inate a man for Governor. The voters in that State had the privilege of making their choice from a well-defined alignment: Paul Johnson was outspoken in his advocacy of the national administration, and Senator Bilbo, who supported him openly and hearti ly is on record approving a third term for President Roosevelt. On the other hand Martin Conner, the other candidate, is not only a lukewarm New Dealer, but was back ed by Senator Pat Harrison, who since his disappointment at not being named floor leader of the Senate, has been as antagon istic to the administration as any Republi can in that body. So the voters plainly had their choice, and they chose Johnson, and in the choosing gave Senator Harrison a kick in the pants that was disconcerting to say the least. Johnson's victory is also a Bilbo victory —and a Pat Harrison defeat. You can't make anything else out of it. And it is just as surely a Roosevelt vote of confidence. For as wily and shrewd as Senator Harrison is, when it comes to naming delegates to the next Democratic national convention, he will rot name them. Bilbo will, and Bilbo, mind you, is committed to a third term for Roose velt. Since his failure to become Democratic leader in the senate, due to the President's preference for Senator Barkley, Senator Harrison has been unsparing in his efforts to block the President at every turn. He has been cocky about it, for was he not in company with Senators Glass, Byrd, Bailey and George? And was he not the admitted leader of Democracy in his State? Maybe when Senator Harrison comes up for re election he will be able to make the grade, but right now he is having to eat crow—and like it. And it will be a new sensation for him to attend a national convention and look upon delegates from Mississippi whom he had no part in naming. It is barely possible that prophecies con cerning the trend away from the New Deal in the South will have to be revised—after Mississippi. Maybe if somebody'd take that fellow Hitler by the ear and lead him around among the white crosses in Flander's Field, he'd be less anxious to start another war. THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN.
