The Cleveland Star CHELBY N C MONDAY — WEDNESDAY — FRIDAY SUBSCRIPTION PRICE By Mall, per year.... By Carrier, per year ....—... THE STAR PUBLISHING COMPANY, INC. LEE B. WEATHERS.President and Editor 8. ERNEST HOEY __ Secretary and Foreman RENN DRUM.News Editor A. D. JAMES....Advertising Manager Entered as second class matter January 1, 1905, at the postefftoe at Shelby, North Carolina, under the Act of Congress, March 8, 1879. We wish to call your attention to the fact that It is and has been cur custom to charge five cents per line for resolutions of respect cards of thanks and obituary notioes. after one death notice has been published. This will be strictly adherred to. AN17~193n TWINKLES Nowadays, opines one punster, a girl marries a fellow to mend his ways instead of his socks. Highway patrolmen, as some motorists have already learned, are Uiis week tagging those hereabouts who have not tagged their autos. Mr. Bailey wants Mr. Simmons to back the Gardner campaign and live at home for the next four years, and Mr. Simmons, it seems, is equally as desirious to have Mr. Bailey tender the same support to the governor. $2 50 $3 00 If Mr. Simmons or Mr. Bailey can inform Cleveland county farmers how to get 25 cents per pound for their 60, 000 bales of weather-beaten cotton, we’ll guarantee the one who passes out the information that he will have no need of being ashamed of the vote this county will give him. In 1928 there were^O candidates for sheriff in the coun ty and one has already anounced for the primary this year. Of course every citizen has a right to run, if he so desires, but since this ie to be a year of economy it might be well to hold the list down to half the number in the last race thereby saving that much ballot paper. The Rocky Mount Telegram says one of the strongest arguments against Senator Simmons is that Frank Hamp ton, his portly secretary, may be appointed to fill out the term should Simmons fail to complete his tenure in office.” And our opinion is that no heftier draw-back could be ad vanced, even for those inclined to see the senator through for the last time. A reader says The Star is too conservative and back ward in arguing that a young man should own his own home before he gets an automobile. He reasons it this way: “Why isn’t it all right to buy a car and rent a house? The modern man spends more time in his car than in his home.” And for many of those who do so the last motor trip will be to the county home. A BULL’S EYE FOR JUDGE STACK ON LAW ENFORCEMENT JUDGE A, M. STACK, of Monroe, beat Mr. Hoover’s Law Enforcement Commission to its report by almost a week. In delivering his charge to the Cleveland county grand jury here last week the wise Monroe jurist took occasion to mention Mr. Hoover’s commission sent forth to discover, if possible, why there is so much crime, and to suggest a rem edy therefor. “When that commission reports it cannot tell us any thing we do not know; neither can it suggest a better rem edy than we all know to be the need now. The cause 4s lax enforcement of the law, and the remedy is more efficient en forcement,” he said. In less than a week newspaper headlines glared forth the information that Hoover’s commission had found “in adequate law enforcement machinery” to be one of the ma jor reasons for increasing crime, and it naturally followed that the commission thought more efficient enforcement would be the best remedy. To Judge Stack’s way of thinking the newspapers over played the news value of the commission report, since it was something everybody knew. Likewise the report might be used as an example of the value of Mr. Hoover’s commission methods of operating the world’s greatest nation and bring ing about the prosperity referred to In the last campaign. MR. JONAS NO IGNORAMUS ABOUT POLITICAL PLANNING CRB THERE these remarks appear in type Major Bul winkle and others may have announced for congressional nomination in the June primary. Regardless of which, how ever, these remarks will remain appropriate to the fight of the Democrats to regain the ninth congressional district from the Republicans. To regain the district will be no play job, regardless of who may be the Democratic candidate, and, as we have said before, the more Democrats to announce the merrier it will be for the present congressman. During the week both The Charlotte Observer and The Gastonia Gazette have remarked that the Democrats have a real job cut out for them in defeating Mr. Jonas. The Gazette wisely predict* that “unless the Democrats of the district center on one good candidate and nominate him and support hint in the election, Charlie Jonas will go back. . The Observer sums up the prospects by review of the entire district. The counties of Madison, Mitchell, Burke, Yancey, Catawba, Lincoln and Gaston are hard to figure out. Six of them will likely support the Republican candidate, as they usually do. In 1928 only three counties in the district, Cleve land, Mecklenburg and Yancey, supported Major Bulwinkle. Mecklenburg and Cleveland are always counted upon by the Democratic candidate to carry him through, if he is to be carried. Mecklenburg is the only county in the district east of the Catawba river and a political saying is that the dis trict is always to be decided after crossing the river, mean ing that Mecklenburg usually gives the Democratic candi date enough majority to carry him through, with Cleveland giving him enough lead before reaching the Catawba to keep him where Mecklenburg may pick him up and elect him. But this year, with Mecklenburg’s Democratic lead cut down and somewhat doubtful, the Democrats must gain back some votes there, in Gaston county, are somewhere. From a geo graphical standpoint a Democratic candidate froih Mecklen burg should have the best chance by bringing Democratic votes back into the fold there, and as The Observer reasons it, in regards to the other strong Democratic county, “Cleve land usually has an offering, but that county, being especial ly good-mannered this year, will probably be a looker-on.” All of which is true enough, but since taking office Charlie Jonas has apparently sized up the district for him self. He, too, seems to realize that Mecklenburg holds the balance, and it has been very evident to the entire district that po action of Mr. Jonas in congress has snubbed that county. Tt’s right the other way, as The Gastonia Gazette says: “He has been particularly zealous for Mecklenburg county and Charlotte. He has landed several big projects for Charlotte. . . All of which is true, and from our angle of thought Mr. Jonas has endeavored to be of enough service to Mecklenburg for that county not to give his Democratic rival such a majority as to put the Lincolnton man back in his law office at Lincolnton. In other words, to put it frank ly, Mr. Jonas has played to Mecklenburg. We do not say that he shouldn’t; he has the perfect right to do so, provided he does not overlook other portions of his district in so do ing. But in playing to Mecklenburg we say, in different lan guage, the same thing that The Gazette says, Mr. Jonas is going to be a hard candidate to defeat. The Democrats, to win, will have to unite upon a candidate—and, furthermore, they may as well put it down as a certainty that additional votes will have to be picked up in the western counties of the district before crossing the river into Mecklenburg. Mr. Jonas has been too good to Mecklenburg to count upon an overwhelming majority for a Democrat there. Nobody’s Business GEE McGEE— i News Around Our House. We had an egg apiece for break* fast this morning. The change from gravy and bread was due to the re cent decline In eggs In sympathy with General Motors. My wife’s kinfolks came up Wednesday morning to spend the week-end. Ham la 90 cents a pound, steak Is much higher, and so Is lemon cake. They Ilka all 3 of them The plumber and his helper came up and did 25-cent worth of work last week. He did not forget to send the following bill: "To time of plumber and helper $7.00 To 1 washer 5 cents. Total $9.75." It Is right slgular. but 14 of the installment collectors who work our street every week are closely relat ed to the “other" side of my house. She insists that the 64 that are not related to her are some of "mine" that are too good to own It. The following ltertis were report ed entirely out Just as I was leaving for prayer-meeting last nignt; Sugar, coffee, soap, flour, balogna, cheese, chicken feed, rat poison, perfume, wash rags, coal, cash, blank checks, baking powders and Ink. The electric light that her aunt left burning in the closet upstairs was discovered this morning when the man read our meter and fainted. The letter we sent to our friends In Georgia 8 weeks ago telling them not to visit us until April went to the dead-letter office and was re turned to us 4 days after the * com pany” had left. Jt seems I address ed Jim and Family in N. C., instead of Ga. But there were only 7 chil dren and 2 mothers-in-law with them. Our 14 hens seemed terrible ex cited the other morning and we rushed out to kill the mink or pos sum or polecat, or such other var mint as might be caught disturbing them. We found that 1 of the hens ! had laid an egg and as It was the [first egg the other 13 hens and 1 I roster ever saw, they set up a tar i rible uproar. A man asked me last | week if I kept hens and I told nim j yes, but not why and how. We woke up the other morning j betwixt 3:30 a. m., and sun-up with | a terrible pain that reached from 1 j end of our diagram to the center of ; our anatomy. The doctor was call ed and he came Just before the pearly gates began to open. He asked us what we ate for supper and we said biscuit and he said what else and we said a little piece qT hoghead souse and he said what else and we satd a small bite of pork sausage and he said what else and we got mad and turned over and de cided just to go ahead and die a natural death without a doctor. But he squirted something in oiu arm and made us take a pint of castor oil. He went home. And we did not get to the office till late that after noon. It seems funny that what a fellow likes to eat best hurts him worst The Cause Of The Crime Wkve. The math reason why crime *s so rampant in our land today is crimi nals are no longer punished for their crimes. The average jail is far better than the average crimi nal's home. Most of the law-break ers now consider a few weeks or a lew months in Jail a comfortable vacation. Jails and pens all have steam heat and good beds and excellent tood and recreation grounds and satis factory clothing and lots of free dom. If one of our welfare workers happens to find a fly speck In the kitchen at a jail, a terrible howl goes up and the earth mourns. The average prisoner today (ex clusive of county convicts) fares Just about as well as the average working man. The only difference is—the average prisoner can't go rabbit hunting and bird-shooting and fish-grabbing quite as often as the average working man. It is not right to abuse criminals nor It is right to deny them of rea sonably comfortable surroundings, but it invites crime to make pets of them. The public does not know it. but thousands of people Just as soon be in a good jail somewhere as be out in the cold, cold world trying to make a living. Now here Is my plan to afflict the prisoners that are now incarcerated in Jail* and penitentiaries with the harsh punishment that they de serve, and if the said plan Is car ried out, crime will show a 99 per cent depreciation In 10 years: I. Require them to read "NO BODYS BUSINESS’* daily. 3. Force them to memorize a page In the Congressional Record. 3. Feed them on spinach once a week. 5. Take them to the talkies. 8. See that they bathe twice a week. 7. Demand that they study the Einstein theory. 8. Let a politician speak to them once a month. 9. Listen In on Jazz nightly. 10. Drink home-brew before mels. II. Require them to shave every morning. 12. Make them read the presi dent’s message. 13. Force them to sleep in paja • meals. 14. Give them a dose of castor oil every summer. 15. Send them to the dentist once a month. 16. Let them hear some women j play bridge. 17. Urge all visitors to ask 'em j what they’re there for.
