In ye old days the college boy who passed his work was quite a chap, but nowadays he is a dud unless he is a wizard at forward-passing. What has become of the Cotnam brothers? Have they become so frightened that they have disappeared now that it is public knowledge that Herbert Hoover and the Pope are personal friends? Seems as if we’ve heard something about polities making strange bedfellows. That being the case, may we expect some day to see Senator Simmons., Cameron Morrison, Frank Me Ninch and Pete Murphy sleeping together in a double room ? Judging by the City Hall's proclamation about obeying the traffic lights we presume that the fellow who goes on when the sign says “^op” may eventually put on the breaks down at the jail corner. It must be great to be a Governor, but we wonder if Max Gardner will not miss the gang with whom he has been chat ting for years about football, the cotton crop, and other fami liar Shelby topics? A lot has been said about the rotten egg throwing in the recent campaign, but to our way of thinking the rotten word throwing was considerably more despicable. The egg stains will wash off, and the odor eventually disappear, but a reputation stained needlessly is another matter. HERE'S THE CHANCE, SENATOR C^ENATOK SIMMONS, wej read by the papers, had some thing to say about certain election tactics he didn’t like as they were carried on in the recent election in his home coun ty. We recall, also, that Max Gardner. North Carolina's next governor, is on record “in black and white,” so to speak —for better election laws in North Carolina, by Australian ballot or otherwise. If Senator Simmons is sincere in his de sire to stage cleaner elections, we see only one course for him to pursue. His support of Max Gardner’s stand in the com ing months would assure cleaner elections in North Caro lina, and we go with the Senator, if he goes that far, in say ing that such is needed. BAPTISTS ARE COMING DAPTIST LEADERS of Shelby and Cleveland county jour ^ neyed down to. the State Baptist convention at High Point with the announced intention of bringing the conven tion here next year if possible. The convention will come and the Baptists who extended the invitation in such a man ner that it was readily accepted are to lie congratulated. It has been 15 years since Shelby, a Baptist center, has entertained the Baptists of the entire state, and 14 years since the Methodist conference met here. Therefore, it b about time for the town to again open its doors and leave the latchstring out for another church gathering, and we are of the opinion that the entire town and county will join in with the Baptist people in entertaining the hundreds of visitors who will come next year to our city. OBEY THE SIGNALS \\AYQR DORSEY’S announcement that the police force will give additional attention to the observance of the traffic signals in the uptown section is an announcement of import ance. Every citizen, whether or r.ot there is a traffic offi cer about, should obey the traffic signals. Not to do so is dangerous, not only to those who disobey hut to innocent pedestrians and motorists going the other way. When the “Stop” sign is on one side of the pedestrian who star*' across that side feels as if he or she is safe. When a motorist dis obeys the signal and dashes on across the life of that pedes-; trian and the lives of others who walk by the signs are en dangered. There have been no fatalities on the up-town cor ners, and just a few humps, but if the signals are not obeyed , there will be such. The law. of average-, will make it so, jf nothing else. but. carelessness is even more of a danger than the daw of averages. And, after all, the traffic lights, were dot merely, erected for o' n-m atal purposes. THE B \S!8 OF \ PARTY rFHE REAL STRENGTH of a political party is nothing more or less t’an the loyalty of the men. a nr! women who comprise the party. In this state, since the recent election of upsets, Democratic downfall in several instances has been Credited to disgruntled Democrats who became so due to de feats or set-backs in Democratic primaries, j Cleveland county, you remember, remained entirely ini the Democratic column, and nothing was'more responsible; than the men and women, some of them defeated by otheri Democratic candidates in primaries,, who worked faithfully on for their party, A good illustration of our point is the Hoyle family. There was a heated primary contest for sher iff in this county with 10 candidates in. In the run-off there were two highly-respected men, Irvin Alien, the nominee ( anil now sheriff-elect, and Frank Hovle. Allen won, hut on election day here Hoyle was not found sulking in his tent— i in fact, he is not of that type—and he along with members of'his family was at the polls working for Allen and all the Democratic nominees. A party made up of Hoyles and their ype is seldom snowed under. It is needless for us to explain why. STANDING BY Oi l! SCHOOLS "pHE STAR NOTES with pride that business men and citi zens generally are standing by t he Shelby school board in its plea to maintain the rank and grade of the city school system. The Shelby school board, made up of some of the best business men of the town who give their time arid thought free to educational work, is not throwing away money. . In fact, the Shelby schools are operated upon a lower per pupil cost than the average city schools, of the state, that despite the fact that the Shelby schools have a good ranking in educational circles. When the, school board said that the schools could not be operated upon the present tax levy they presented facts to show why—facts which any reasonable citizen must agree with. The response of the peo ple in immediately starting a petition calling for a special election was the proper move and no doubt is rightfully ap preciated by the board members. The education of our children: should come before the beautifying of our business Houses and residences, and be fore the enlarging of our factories and- the lengthening of our streets. The children of today will be the leaders of to morrow. They, more than the streets, buildings and fact ories, will determine what the future Shelby will be. One doesn't get things for nothing these days, and schools can not be operated without money. And, remember, that school board members are not asking for an unjustifiable amount. If the tax levy is increased, the school tax in Shelby will still be below the average levy of towns and cities of Shelby's progressiveness over the state. TOO HARSH ON HIM | N PLACING THE BLAME for the sinking of the liner 1 Votris, one of the worst sea tragedies .in recent years, in which scores drowned, it seems as if the denunciation of Cap tain Carey, who went down with his ship, is a little too piti less. Perhaps Captain Carey, the veteran seaman, did err in .judgment in not sending out the SOS call sooner; perhaps poor seamanship was displayed in delaying the lowering of the lifeboats, and in the slow getaway from the sinking ves sel, but remember that Captafn Carey died as the gallant legends of-the sea have their captains die—hanging onto the bridge of his ship and going down with her to a watery grave No doubt Captain Carey was more to blame for the great disaster than any other connected with it, and the official investigation of the sea tragedy is nothing but proper, but Captain Carey, whose error in judgment, despite his year-' on the sea, cost scores1 and scores of human lives, was not re sponsible for the conduct of members of the crew and of oth ers who displayed little gallantry after the vessel was aban doned. \ . Place the blame where it lies, but do not heap everything upon the head of he who is dead, passing put with his ship in doing all he could to atone for hisr error. When final judgment of a man is made, by humans, his impulses as well as his judgment should have a reckoning. Many of us make mistakes. Captain Carev did, but Captain Carey's gallantry in going down with his ship was the im pulse of the man and should not be overlooked. He told the last member of his crew by his side, as the ship began to slide Into the water, to jump. “You, jump, captain,’* the seaman urged. . “Hell no —jump!”, Captain Carey answered, and that is the last the world knew of him. A few seconds later the Ves tris and her captain could be seen no more. Something To Think About Just Confidence By Bruno Lessing L. Lectairr writes from Los An geles asking for an article on "con fidence." He says that when he has confidence in a person and that per son betrays the confidence, he con siders that person as one who died. That is rather a strong way of put ting it.- But it eniists one’s sym pathy. On the other hand you have many philosophers, as well as the New Testament of the Bible, urging you to forgive those who injure you. Surely, if you can forgive one who wantonly kicks you down a flight of stairs and then jumps on your neck, \ou can forgive one who violated your confidence. Confidence is a broad term.. It includes every phase of Iranian en deavor. Lovers have confidence in each other's protest it Ions of undy ing affection even though they.know that, no affection is undying; We have confidence in the truth fulness. the honesty and the loyal-; ty of our friends. We have confi dence in the integrity-of those with; whom we like to have business deal- ; mgs A physician can accomplish but little if his patient lacks con fidence in hlrii. If wc had no ron iidenee in n ship captain vt would neve: sail on his si.ip. Human nature gives its confidence readily, as a rule, although it works more swiftly in .some countries than others. The English are somewhat slower than others in giving their confidence but. once it is given, it is hard to shake. The Latin races, with their warm affections, give their confidence most readily but, being al,o morel volatile, withdraw It with equal readiness. We Americans are sort of betwixt and between.. Not so emc'iohal as the Latins and more so than the English.. We usually give our con fidence in social, business: and pol itical matters unthinkingly. And when we find it betrayed we do not, make much fuss about it. To have a ready trust in one an other is one of the nicest traits of us humans All the .more repre hensible is it. therefore, for any one to violate this trust. Life needs no bitterness of our own atldme To requite a confidence reposed in us frequently involves acrifiie. The merchant, who tells the trtfh about, his wares just because his customers trust him. may lose moil ey. To keep an engagement be cause you promised to keen it and because the one with whom you made it counts upon your keeping it. may involve Inconvenience. The worst violation of confidence is the betrayal of a secret. Whether or not such a traitor should be shot must depend upon the sense of m t ice. the charity and the broadmind edness of him who judges. -*• AROUND TOW N . .. might think that the governorship is enough for Shelby to hate at one j time in the Raleigh way of making ; a living?
