How much of every ; fish story should one believe? Stark, heart-rending tragedy and breath-taking horo • ism have been written in the news accounts of the lost Arctic flyers, but in what respect, we ask, has it been worth the ;; price? **Doti*t lounge in your motor car, before your door, in - ■ Chicago, unless you are sure nobody wants to kill you," warns Arthur Brisbane. And take it from us, as we believe •“ •most of what we read, that we wouldn’t want to stay in any section of Chicago long enough to lounge. “Involves United States in European Peace,’’ reads a headline which doesn’t worry us in the least, just so Ions as it is European peace instead of war that we’re being drawn into. The Charlotte News notes that “women are revealing more backbone these days than men’’ and without reading farther we would change it to read “these evenings.” Dur ing the.day it’s limbs that are being revealed. But perhaps the notation refers to will-power and not the physical anatofn^. The old folks refer to it as “sand” or “grit.” Several counties have reminded The Charlotte Observer ' that Cleveland was not the first county to report a cotton ~ bloom,* hut Cleveland county farmers are going to try to be ; just as loyal to The Observer as the paper is to them—mean ■ ing that they may give l1he Observer some cotton talk ” along this fall when it’s pounds instead of blooms. • POLITICAL PARTIES CHANGING By the time the present political campaign is over the ! two major political parties will not be able to recognize ; themselves, and likewise there may be a lot of friends now " who will be passing each other cn the street then as if ;; they were never introduced. But what we started out to ■ ask was: Remember when nearly everybody thought Hoov er was a Democrat? And now Smith comes along and ap points a man who has been known to vote for a Republican. SHELBY DRAWS SHOPPERS JN THE LAST ISSUE of The Star mention was made of shoppers who traveled 52 miles to do their trading in Shelby. That gives an idea as to Shelby’s growth in recent years. Months back statistics assembled by an official of a big chain store revealed that no town of similar size in ; the country has a better trading area with more money pel capita to be spent than Shelby has. Since that time numer ; eusJKfelitions haw been made to the business district, and although there are arguments to the contrary the trading ” area always broadens out with the .increase in business at traction. BULWINKLE’S STATEMENT ipHARLIE JONAS, Republican candidate for Congress in this district, perhaps thought he had Congressman A. L. Bulwinkle cornered when he asked Bulwinkle for his stand ;; on Smith, but as we see it, and hear it from district voters. Bnlwinkle’s answer was far more than expected. Major Bul winkle declared that he would support Smith but added that he would fight in Congress against any attempted repeal of prohibition. Perhaps he added the extra explanation for Mr. Jonas’ benefit as it seems as if the Republican candidate would try to play ignorant and make the people think that » the prohibition laws could be changed against the wishes of ■ Congress. rth turn we might suggest that Major Bulwinkle ask Mry-Joms If he intends tp support Hoover — the same HdSye&who changed conditions in the commerce department • to^mch an extent that negro government employes might mingle, and work with the white employes on an equal basis. M^cJonas might find that query harder to answer than he theugiit his would be for Major Bulwinkle. HOW PROPAGANDA WORKS T'EX RICKARD MAY BE ABLE to visualize more suck ! than old Phineas T. Barnum ever dreamed of in his most enthusiastic nightmare, but in our opinion there is eonsider .. able shrewd thinking behind the prize-fight racket. First of all, like all others, we’ll admit that we’re not a sucker, but we’re falling for it. That propaganda which is selling seats to the coming Tunnev-Heeney fight because we first of all are being made to believe that Tom Heeney can knock Tunney’s block off—a trick, mind you, that Jack Dempsey was unable to turn in two chances, .. Just a few months back, or whenever it was that Heeney •; was booked to meet Tunney, we warned the one-per-minute . folks, among which we must of necessity be classed now our selves, not to fall for the ballyhoo and pay out a week’s check to see Tunney trim another. “Why, that guy Heeney hasn’t a look in,’’ we said. “He might be able to knock Tun ney out if he could hit him, but who think’s he could hit Gene, and when he hit Jack Sharkey there was no knock out.” In fact just a few weeks back we were of the opinion that the Tunney-Dempsey bout would not be worth walk ing across the court square to see, and we were so serious that in the role of a self-inflicted community adviser we began telling the general public to close it’s ears against a ballvjioo that might make them think that it could be a . real fight. • Then came along a few stories about Tom’s folks back' • over in the old country, and another story or so about Gene’s ; poetry, for which we hated him the worse. Next some al leged expert predicts that Heeney will be the next champ. More days with more such news. Finally Tex Rickard—the •• man who made millions growing cauliflowers—came along ! and said so himself. * Now we’re falling, as we say, to the chatter ourselves. Faliii^r so fast that we have thought once or twice of bor rowing the price of a ticket there, in and back. But it will take a few more cleverly worded stories from the experts ; to get us to put our money on Heeney. Propaganda. Power untold. v • ' Cowboy and Rodeo Star Is Mexico’s Attorney General Bob Dow Is Real Son of the Olil West. His Father, A Seriff Killer iBy XK A Service) SANTA. I e„ X. M—The old days cf the American vve*t, when high state officials wore chaps and spurred boots to their offices in the capitol building, inay have passed; but Attorney General Boh Dow still is a mem ber Utl good standing of the great, informal brotherhood of working cowboys. ! Furthermore, the attorney gen era! of Mw. Mexico is a good one. He took part in three rodeos d-' ' ing the first week in July, acquit ting himself with such credit that he is now preparing to enter Tex Austin's great national rodeo at Chicago next month. Meeting Bob Dow, you'd never think that the picturesque old west had passed. He is part and ■ parcel of the old days, and shows it. [ He was borp in Carlsbad. wher> i his father was sheriff. A New Mex ico sheriff in those days wore his : six-shooters ail the time, and knew how to use them; th'.job wasn't just a. title. The west had its bad men. then, and sheriffs were elect- ; to exterminate them Bob Dow. for instance, can .re member the time when his father overtook a gang of outlaws led bv the famous, or notorious. Black Jack Ketchum, one of the wor bad men of the southwest. Black Jack managed to escape, but Ins horse was shot under him and his • chief lieutenant was killed. l ather V«as Mam This and similar exploits won the 1 sheriff the enmity of a number of men. And the present attorney gen eral can remember what happen 'd one day when he was a boy of eight, in 1896. Ke was walking oown the street of Carlsbad with his father one morning. A horseman galloped up from behind, drew rein abreast ‘of them and emptied his revolver in to the boy's father. Sheriff Dow fell dead, and the horseman galloped away to escape in the plains be , yond the town. Such are the boyhood memories of the attorney general They help to explain why, years ago. he de cided to devote his life to establish ing the reign of law arid order in the southwest, . When he became attorney general he did not forget the tricks of the ; cowboy’s trad -. Two or three even ings a week he slips away from his office a few minutes early, goes home, saddles a horse and brushes iup on them. He is known through out the. state for his skill. This spring a group ot tall, rangy cowboys from the Estancia coun try in eastern New Mexico rode into Santa Fe—a trip of several hun dred miles—and came clattering tip to the state house. They dismount - ed and trooped into Attorney Gen eral Dew's office ._“ID you think you're so good," they said. come on over to Estancn next month and ' meet a real calf : roper." The attorney general grinned. "I'll rope the breeches off of him." die replied. On the appointed day he laid aside the dignity of his office, denned cowboy regalia and went to Estancia, to prove that nis capabilities as a cow boy were equal to his reputation. Some time ago, while a. member .of the state legislature. Dow en tered a calf roping contest in a rodeo at his home town, Carlsbad, and won first money, setting the remarkably fast time of 25 sec onds fof the feat, As a horsemen he has few equals, even in this state of born horsemen; friends re late that up until a few years agj one of his favorite recreations was the riding and breaking of wild, [savage bronchos. . Just now the attorney general is ! looking, forward to the Chicago j rodeo With great anticipation, “What do you think your chances, for winning are?’’ he was asked. | “Good,” he replied, "I may not get as much practice as the other i fellows who , follow the business, [but I have more natural ability.” That's Bob Dow all over—confi dence. His friends believe he will make his boast good when the time comes. Revival Meetings In County To Begin Rev. G. P.
