About the time the sentimental writers were writ
ing obituaries of the Wild West along tamo Mao.
i *-• , -
Who said yesterday’s election would end an argu
ment.of more than a decade? Already today they are
till king of.what is to he done next.
y Regardless of the ballots east, the weatherman
stepped in and made it a rather damp day yesterday in
North Carolina. That’s one fellow who doesn't give a
hang about public sentiment.
WHY NOT?
* President Roosevelt's administration is ordering the \
bfg corporations—by big we mean those running into
the millions and which dominate what we know as BIG
Business—to file reports showing what they pay their
big officials and executives.
s These firms are bucking, as whs to have been ex
pected. Why, they ask, should we fell the government
that.? Wherein is the public good to be benefitted?
llh’t that our own business and when the government
finds out how will it manage to help the masses?
In a way it is the business of the government, par
ticularly a government of all the people and for all the
people. Public welfare tan lie helped by such revela
t»ns.
Many of these firms, as has already been shown,
pay their high powered executives salaries running into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. “If.”
the big firms ask. “we reduce those salaries, how will
that benefit the public?” In two ways, at least. First
of all, when executives are paid such immense salaries
itj? is only natural that the product or commodity, no
matter what it may be, produced by that firm and mar
keted will cost the consumer more. It will because the
consumer eventually foots the entire bill. Again, ex
ecutives who are paid such fabulous salaries get their
pajr^romrr the treasury of the firm and when the treas
ury is drained in that manner dividends to stockholdores
are naturally lowered and the pay of the smaller em
ployes. many more in number, is naturally less in order
that “the big shots” may get theirs.
< Big Business is saying, of course, that the Presi
dent has noybusiness butting in their business. But
having shown himself to be a President interested in
the welfare of all the people, he seems determined to
make it his business whether or no. And the masses
when they realize the true situation will, or should, be
with him to the last ditch.
St . ' G :
(O.MMENI)AHLK ORPHAN ALE WORK
Once or twice a year, when campaigns are on the
people of North Carolina hear about the orphanages of
the State and the excellent work they are doing in tak
ing care of the fatherless and motherless tots, little
youngsters who deserve a helping hand if anyone does.
Rot in addition to, this information. Dr. Julian .Miller in
a recent article in The Charlotte Observer shows that
i hie orphanages are not only earing for the youngsters
bat are doing so in an economical manner which deserves
the commendation of all. “Tie writes:
“During the past year there were 7.119 children in
the 46 orphanages of the two Carolina* who were main
tained, fed, clothed, housed, taught, supervised and
abundantly take care of at an average cost of 68 cents
per child per day.
“Food, the largest single item of expense of these
orphans, represented 21 cents per day per child, or seven
cents per meal.
• “Education came second in costliness, which includ
es salaries of teachers and all supplies necessary for the
operation of schools, financed by the institution, state,
county or city, this entailing' an expenditure of 10 cents
per day per child,
“Administration expense, including salaries of
superintendents and assistants, interest on money bor
rowed for opei-ating purposes and office supplies, repre
sented nine cents per day per child.
“Fuel, light, power, ice, water, upkeep of buildings
and grounds and salaries of janitors and building super
intendents. cost nine cents per day per child.
“The salaries of cottage mothers and other work
ers directly in charge of these orphans require eight
cents per child per day.
“Clothing cost five cents each per day -and nsec*
*ary household supplies and expenses, including travel,
required the remaining four cents.
“These inner facts relating to the orphanage activi
ties being conducted in the Carolina* were developed
from a scrutiny of the records of the orphan station of
the Dyke Endowuienf.”
“SPLIT-PARTY" OUTLOOK
Even now that the votes have l*een counted in the
repeal election, talk continues of a party “split-up" among
North Carolina Democrats.
Is a new party to emerge by new leaders? Are we
to have a prohibition Democratic party and a repeal
Democratic party with the Republican party benefitting
thereby? Pondering those prospects, The Charlotte Ob
server says “Evidently a situation is in course of de
development that is going to cause worriment in the
camp of the Democrats and merriment in that of the
Republicans.”
On one side, the dopesters talking the prospects,
see Clyde Hoey, Cameron Morrison, Yates Webb and
other dry leaders, including many of the old Simmons
organization. On the other side, the visionaries picture
a leadership from the group including Max Gardner,
.Josiah W. Bailey, Robert R. Reynolds, Walter Murphy
and others.
Frankly, we cannot get. in a sweat over any such
thing. Within a few months all party discord will, we
believe, wither away. We may be wrong, but that is our
opinion. There is a lot of campaign talk which cannot
be continued as permanent and dependable. Things are
said in the heat of a campaign which are forgotten in
the course of time. It has always been so.
Cameron Morrison, as we recall, did say something
about keeping up the fight. Naturally, both drys and
repealists will keep on the alert. Some construed the
Morrison statement as meaning he might want to keep
lighting to secure command of the Democratic party
for the dry forces. But as we remember he is the only
one of the dry speakers to take that attitude with any
determination. Clyde Hoey didn't. He could see no
reason for tearing the party to shreds when many of
his present enthusiastic supporters opposed his views in
1928. “If,” as The Observer says, “both sides would
lie willing to abide by the voice of the Nation, with the
State joined in that voice, then the road ahead in North
Carolina would be cleared.”
There have been other divisions of sentiment ami
other reunions. There will be again, unless we are bad
ly fooled. Don’t be a bit surprised if the next election
ticket in North Carolina bears the names of dry
and repeal Democratic working side by side for the com
ing interest of the party. It will be Democrat vs. Re
publican with more recent enmities forgotten as an age
old partisan feud flames forth once more.
WHAT YOU EXPECT OF YOUR NEWSPAPER
Here is a bit of reprint from a Minnesota paper
whose name has been lost in its travels around over the
country We are passing it on to readers at, this time,
thinking it a most appropriate occasion:
What do you expect from your newspaper? Well,
you expect more from your newspaper than you do from
any other person or institution t'o which you pay the
sum of $6.00 a year,
'i ou expect your newspaper to give you all the news.
That's why you pay $6.00 for it, but.
You expect your newspaper to take the lead in ad
vocating changes for the betterment of the community.
You expect your newspaper to expose graft in pub
lic affairs, to forestall it by publishing itemized accounts
of all public moneys spent.
You expect vour newspaper to maintain a high
standard of morality supporting things that are right
and condemning things that are wrong.
You expect your newspaper to maintain a high
standard of enterprise, devoting column after column to
propaganda, supporting the band, the baseball team,
community celebrations, Boy Scouts, high school ath
letics, school programs, home talent plays and dozens of
such causes and events.
i ou expect your newspaper to build up confidence
in your home financial institutions and protect home in
vestors from making unwise investments of surplus
funds, warning against fake salesmen and other finan
cial pirates.
Von expect' your paper to combat the peddler nui
sance.
You expect your newspaper to establish friendly
contact with the rural readers so as to induce them to
make your town their town.
You expect your newspajter to give notice of all pub
lic meetings, public observances, conventions, etc.
You expect your newspaper to urge support of poor
relief benefits, Salvation Army drives, Red Cross drives.
Christmas Seal drives, Legion and Auxiliary drives, pop
py sales, forget-me-not sales, have-a-heart drives, etc.
You expect your newspaper to publish church no
tices, church programs, club news, farm bureau infor
mation, demonstration unit news, market news, weather
news, bring you the market reports and cover all doings
of the many semi-public organizations.
You expect your newspaper to support every meri
torious organization effort for the city’s good.
The money you, as a subscriber, pay for this paper
covers less than one-fourth the cost of publishing the
paper. The other three-fourths must he paid by adver
I tisers.
Since the advertisers pay a large share of the ex
penses of publishing your newspaper, don’t you think
you owe them the duty to patronize them whenever they
offer you equal or better values than non-advertisers?
And you, Mr. Advertiser, don’t you think that in
view of the many services which the newspaper per
forms, for which the newspaper derives no compensa
tion, hut which mean more business and more profits to
you. the newspaper deserves your advertising business’
Make your community newspaper your advertising med
ium and you help build up the community. Send your
advertising dollar away from home and you do just
"bat you would it l want others to do to "hum you look
tor your business. It is just as important that.the ad
vertising dollar remains in the community as it is for
the grocery dollar and the clothing dollar and the rest of
ihe community dollars that make your town prosperous
to remain at home.

Behind The Scenes
In Hollywood

BEHIND THE SCENES -
| Hollywood —As youth as the pair
are, Hollywood match-makers are
crying romance between Jean Par
j ker and Tom Brown, who are seen
| everywhere together since they met
I on their current picture, "Dark
| Sunlight.”
What makes it all the more in
triguing tor tllmdom's younger set
is that Brown beaued Anita Louise
to all the parties before she left
for New York and was supposed to
be definitely interested in the little
blonde actress.
Now he wears around his wrist
a chain and a silver cross which
Jean gave him During her illness
for the past two days he has kept
her room full of flowers and has
spent much of his time at her house.
With Jean still in her teens and
i Tom not much older, parental re
actions will have to be reckoned
with.
By one of those exigencies of
cutting. Abe Lyman's lines were all
scissored out of "Broadway Through
a Keyhole.” As the film stands now,
you see him chiefly over Texas
Guinan’s shoulder.
Which inspired Leonard Gold
| stein to send Abe the following
! wire:
I “Let. me be the first to congratu
■ late you on bringing bark silent
! pictures,"
Doris Duke, of the tobacco mil
lions, is seeing Hollywood under the
guidance of Ruth Selwyn and Mar
ian Pascal, close friend of the Sel
wyn s and former schoolmate of the
Duke heiress, So far the party has
ignored the late spots and concen
trated on studio visits and upon pri
vate social gatherings. Young Miss
Duke yesterday met Lilian Harvey
at Fox Ann Harding at RKO and
Constance Cummins and Jack
Oakie at United Artists. Last night
she was dinner guest of the Sel
wyns with Gloria Swanson and
Michael Farmer. Grace Moore and
her husband and various other film
celebrities present.
They'll tell you -and l merely
pass it along - that tin- engagement
jut Sandra smart and Gary Cooper
was announced at a very private
dinner party on Monday night. Be-:
fore she came to Hollywood, the j
stateuesque Sandra was Veronica I
Raise and was quite social She and ,
Cooper have been seen constantly!
| together for the past month.
Junior Laemmle likes to believe
that no one knows of all those re
cent dates with a visiting New
York debutante.
What Beverly Hills stands most
in dread took place yesterday be
fore the very eyes of the police.
(That’s copy). A film child was
kidnapped. But it was Baby Le Roy
and the scenes were for “Miss
Fane’s Baby Is Stolen.” Actually ,
this youngster is guarded almost as
closely as Maria Dietrich. He has
his regular bodyguard, a former
member of the state highway police,
and the man stays -with him all the
time. As the youngster is not able
to afford the guard himself, the
studio pays for his protection.
