WHY HOEY IS NEWS
WHY, ASKS SOMEONE, is Clyde rioey news ? What an
ignorant question. It’s not news, y’know, when a dog
bites a man but ia news when a man bites a dog. Likewise,
there isn’t any great amount of news about a man desiring
public office, but when one refuses to be honored—well,
that’s horse of another color, and what a freak in this day
when office-seekers are so numerous as to constitute a
plague.
HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEET
ONE NEW’ FEATURE of the Cleveland County Fair, in the
opinion of this paper, should be boosted. Wre refer to the
high school track meet on opening day. A county track
meet hasn’t been known here since the old county commence
ment days. Every boy cannot or does not play football,
basketball or baseball, yet all are interested in athletic events
and would get much out of participation. Our idea is that
there are some crack sprinters and jumpers in the several
*ebools over Cleveland county, and competition for the indi
vidual and school honors should be keen at the fair. And
the first meet this month should only be the beginning of a
growing annual affair in which the girl athletes should
eventually participate.
THE FARMER'S PLIGHT
A NEWS ARTICLE in this paper Wednesday informed that
a consensus of opinion has it that Cleveland county cot
ton farmers have not become enthused over any of the mul
titudinous plans advanced for the relief of the cotton plant
er. It was likewise stated that those of them who are dis
posed to talk about it can see very little to be gained by spe
eial legislative sessions.
In other words, the farmer's salvation is pretty much of
his own making as Usual. A Union county citizen is report
ed by The Monroe Journal as looking at the matter in that
light. Dick, informs The Journal, has "quit straining his
neck looking around the corner for prosperity,” because he
is getting "fed up’’ on promises, predictions and plans, and
haB set himself stoically to pull through as best he can.
“Some are waiting on the Lord," observes the Monroe paper,
“but darn few are expecting anything from the govern
ment.”
And those that are, stand to be disappointed
FRANKNESS WITH THE PRESS
RECENT OPINION EXPRESSED by The Star that it does
not pay, as well as being not just, to keep public inform
ation away from newspapers has brought on considerable
supporting comment.' Individual and private interests as
well as public organizations, says The Spartanburg Herald,
*how wisdom by dealing above board with newspapers. The
Herald explains it this way:
The individual, organization or government that
deals above board with the gentlemen of the press is
amart. Closing the doors to executive sessions, evading
the issue when talking with a newspaper man is dan
gerous as high explosives. Without the truth the im
agination can blow even a nation to bit's before break
fast.
The straight-shooter in the newspaper business can
be. depended on to play fair. Laying the cards on the
table is his creed. Unless he's frank and straight-in
the-eye what can he expect from across the board? It’s
his business to be that way, and if you want to look as
good as possible on the front, you better play ball.
Companies often announce “closed session" and the
news men have to piece together what they can pick off
some director with a cigar or three-fingers of Scotch.
Naturally, the truth, the whole truth, isn’t told. Then
they yell: “Down with the press," when in reality it was
the fault of the company.
Look the newspaper man in the face, flash your
cards, flatter him into telling you what’s the best angle
to shoot from, and let him go. He'll play fair and you'll
profit.
Sneak in the back with a pint of kerosene and the
police w ill grab you—walk in the front, hang on the door,
with a wide-open gallon of liquor and you’ll go unnoticed.
It isn’t so much a plea in behalf of the newspapers.
They get the news sooner or later, and a belated story gen
erally does not reflect as much upon the press as upon the
source.
THE LITTLE SCHOOL
ALONG WITH The Charlotte News we are moved to agree
with The Laurinburg Exchange, edited by a Cleveland
count;, native, in taking exception to the National Editorial
Association’s remarks about a "little school.” Give some
people a title of some sort or an office in which there is a
swivel chair and a little dignity attached and what sophis
ticated Solomons they attempt to be.
The Exchange says much when in defiance of this defi
nition it declares that: “Mere bigness does not make a school.
Organization, standardization and numbers will not do it.
All argument to the contrary, a school is about ninety per
[cent teacher. Wherever you find a master teacher on the
job you will find a good school. He may be in the big city
system or he may labor in some remote rural quarter. There
are many persons qualified by experience and observation to
testify that some of the best schools they have known were
little schools.
"One such school we have known. It was built around
the personality of a great teacher. Students of that school
in after life bore its imprint of character and capacity for
leadership. They got something that stayed with them al
ways—something that helped them to make their mark m
the world.”
Near everyone, our guess is, except the modern city
ybungsters can remember a school that type—and. there is
admiration and respect attached to the memory.
PARENTS AND SCHOOLS
IS YOUR BOY OR your girl going back to school?
That matter, we suspect, has been widely debated by
parents of recent weeks and months. The depression makes
it hard for many parents to send their youngsters to school
again. In such times every dollar helps, but in such a crisis
or near crisis the value of an education should not be under
estimated. Will the few dollars the student can make by
not going back be worth what he will miss? If it is abso
lutely necessary for him or her to remain at home and work,
then it is not a matter of debate—but has he or she some
thing to work at? Rotary International in calling attention
to this phase of the depression offers several worthwhile
ideas in the following comment:
It will require a great deal of effort to persuade the
youth of the country and their parents that the few dol
lars spent in going to school will be more than repaid
by the benefits to be derived from education, but this
is what must be done.
They must be made to see that part-time employ
ment, which is the only kind available to young and in
experienced people at this time, is more detrimental
than beneficial under present conditions. It places
young people in competition with heads of families
whose need for work is much more urgent; it gives
youth, at the impressionable age, a large amount of leis
ure during which they are apt to develop vicious habits
which may become permanent; and it is liable to destroy
the youth's desire for self-improvement when more fav
orable conditions return.
Young people must be made to see that they should
profit by dull times by using their leisure to increase
their chances for employment when business improves;
we must persuade them that present conditions are ab
normal and temporary, and that the person who trains
himself now will be in position to hold a useful and prof
itable situation in the future.
Papers Reflect Hoey Popularity
Throughout North Carolina
Outstanding Figure.
'Charlotte News)
The only purpose in the an
nouncement made Sunday by Hon.
Clyde Hoey to the effect that he
had no idea of running for the
United States senate was to dispel
the thin-veil of hailness that hasi
been spreading over the specula
tions of the politicians concerning
him and this office. He had made
known some months ago that he had
no intention of running. Senator
Morrison was aware of what was in
his mind: at the same time, it has
been a matter of common knowl
edge that Mr. Hoey has been receiv
ing warm and urgent requests from
some of his friends to become a
candidate; and this final sweep by
which he totally removes himself
from even the speculathe range will
be gladsome news to Senator Mor
rison
The accompanying phrases of this
announcement which commit Mr.
Hoey to the Democratic party’s cam
paign and always to its higher and
more aggressive Interests are char
acteristic. The Shelby man is a
staunch and immovably loyal Dem
ocrat. His past record demonstrates
that: his eager and always effec
tive campaigning, usually running
counter to his personal interests anc
requiring much of his time that
could be profitably spent on him
self, has made him an outstanding
figure in the councils of the party
and one to whom the organization
owes a vast deal. That he is not
asking it for reimbursement In the
form of office-holding so much at
in simple appreciation of his sin
cerity and high-minded devotion to
the principles of his party blare
©ut from this step he has just tak
en removing himself from the lis!
of possible candidates (or this o»
any other high office.
Mate Indebted To Him
iConcord Tribune.!
What we have felt all along-but
hate hoped against—would happen,
has happened and as a result in the
:senatorial primary next year we
won't experience that keen joy we
would know by casting a ballot for
Clyde Hoey for the United States
senate. Wien Mr. Hoey declined to
succeed Senator Overman, regard
less of the fact that the appoint
ment would come from a kinsman,
we felt that next year the senate
would know him not and this feel
ing has been substantiated by Mr.
Hoey's formal statement in which he
pledges continued and untiring
work for the party without seeking
the senatorial seat.
And because we feared he would
not run we were especially anxious
for him to take the recess appoint
ment, for we believe the Democra
tic party in this state has nevet
been more indebted to a man than
to Mr. Hoey. He could have served
out the remainder of Senator Over
man's terms without seriously dis
rupting his private practice and in
so doing could have won for him
self a just honor and for the party
higher prestige in the national halls
of legislation.
Thousands over the state will
keenly regret the Hoey decision for
they warned to show their love and
esteem for him and his loyal, dis
tinguished service to the party
wdth the ballot, but just the same
they won’t begrudge him the oppor
tunity to continue the happiness he
has known as a private in the ranks
and the reputation which is his as a
lawyer at the bar. Mr. Hoey served
for a time in Washington, and he
knows something of the manner of
living there. He knows the inti
macies he would sacrifice, the
friendship which could be renewed
only at Intervals, the political bick
erings which would beset him as a
public servant, the financial sacri
fice involved and the need for giv
ing up his great career at the bar
should he go to Washington.
Too much is involved, all should
agree, but this will hardly lessen the
disappointment of those who see in
him the finest senatorial timber in
North Carolina,
Romantic, Popular
• Lenoir News-Topic.'
State-wide speculation as to
whether or not Clyde Hoey, of Shel
by, would enter the race for the
United States senate was definitely
rested when he announced that he
would not be a candidate. Mr. Hoey
is one man, and their number is so
negligible that it la almost safe to
say the only man who ever declin
ed to accept the high office of
United States senator. He could
have had the appointment that
Senator Morrison got for the ash
ing, but having declined that, many
of his friends felt sure he could
have won the nomination in 1932
against all comers.
But Mr. Hoey prefers to serve in
the ranks of private citizens, much
to the chagrin of hundreds of sup
porters who would take extreme
pleasure in supporting his candi
dacy. When other men are finding
encouragement on the bare rocks
and in the trees it is rather start
ling that a man whose encourage
ment is wide open and tangible
from the lips of thousands of vot
ers declines to enter the picture.
But the position of Mr. Hoey will
make him an even more romantic
and popular figure thm ever be
fore. He has always captured the
imagination, but now he has maCc
himself so slightly removed and
mysterious that he will hold a uni
que place in the public life.
Good For Cam.
<Rocky Mt. Telegram)
Whether he knew it in advance
or not, ve cannot say. but the an
nouncement of Clyde R. Hoey that
INDIGESTION
"My work is confining,
and often I eat hurriedly,
causing me to have indi
gestion. Gas will form
and I will smother and
have pains In my chest.
"I had to be careful
what I ate, but after
someone had recom
mended Black-Draught
and I found a small
pinch after meals was so
helpful, I soon was eat
ing anything I wanted.
"Now when I feel the
least smothering or un
comfortable bloating, I
take a pinch of Black

he would not be in the political
campaign next year as a candidate
for the U. S. senate must sound
pleasantly to Senator Morrison. Mr.
i Hoey will content himself with hfs
! law practice and with campaigning
Just who will receive his support—
Morrison appears the logical man—
has not been announced. He is a
friends of Governor Gardner, a
very close friend; Governor Gard
ner is said to be a friend of Mr.
Ehringhaus, a very close friend. If
the two are tied together it may be
that Mr. Hoey will also support Mr. I
Ehrlnghaus, but he has not said as
much
At any rate the most imposing
figure who could have sought the
office Mr. Morrison now holds has
removed himself from the picture
and will doubtless aid in keeping the
redoubtable Morrison In office.
Certainly, Mr. Hoey Is not going
to lend any of his efforts to making
a political stalwart, a veritable
Moses out of Mr. Grist, although
this worthy candidate is said to
believe that he will be a successful’
one.
Neither will Mr. Hoey aid m tin
election of Mr. Reynolds, he of th‘
wet platform. It looks as though all
signs are pointing toward Morrison
to win with out great difficulty.
As the Greensboro News said oi
Mr. Hoey, life in North Carolina is
more suited to his purpose than
Washington. He enjoys life too
much here, the News saye confid
entially, and Shelby and Cleveland
would support him to a man but at
the same time voters there are Ten
glad Indeed that Mr. Hoey will not
run for office.
