A fool's wrath is presently kn
eth shame. Proverbs 12:16.
Post' Mortem
Saturday's charter election
came and went, and, after a lot
/ , of working, talking, planning,
and politicking, not to mention
some considerable expense, the
status quo was maintained.
Strong supporters of the staggered
term for school board
members can thus congratulate
themselves, and the city
administration can assume,
and rightly, that they took a
licking at the polls.
Of course, the ward voting
method option was not offered,
and the assumption is that had
it been, the old system would
have been re-voked.
The result also means that E.
C. Brandon. Jr.. will continue
to bo a defacto city manager
without the title. It will also
mean he will have somewhat
less authority than he would
have had under the city manager
plah offered.
The Herald offered the opinion
prior to the election that
the vast majority of citizens
favored the city manager form
of government and sees no reason
to change that opinion in
spite of the Saturday vote. The
vote Saturday was an "anti"
one. Knowing that the city
engineer in effect serves as a
city manager, the "anti" group
was content to leave the mat*
iter as was and to protect the
school board arrangement.
Big difference in the election
was work ? a matter that usually
pays off. The "anti"
force had workers in the field
all day Saturday, and the fidministration
evidently counted
on people "just coming out to
vote."
Unfortunately, as every politician
knows, the' mass of roe
vote in any election is cast
irom a group which is urged
and personally persuaded -o
vote. This feature of the American
mind is what makes the
field of'politics as controllable
as it is. Most folk just don't
care, and particularly about a
technical matter concerning
law. Had there been candidates
running, the vote would have
been much larger than'the onesixth
of the total regisration.
The votes count, however,
and tire "aoti" forces pobeci
the most votes. They'therefore
deserve congratulations for
their energetic interest in fne
matter and for then- victory.
Basically"/!he matter Was political,
and there seems no
great reason for either tne
"pro's" or "anti's" to take the
position that all is lost, or thai
all is won. After all. political
systems, none of which are
perfect, are built for particular
situations.

to the working man, the man!

Labor Day, of course, hr.r r.
new connotation this yeai u.ah pj~c
in the olden days, for, during quj
the past 16 years, Labor has b?i
come a long way. Through the a 1<
aid of the Roosevelt Democra-,
tic administration, Labor be- wo:
came a political and economic! un'
power. *ox
Unfortunately, Labor, like ^
all other groups, can look back ple
through recent veprs and find) *
that in several instances it fru
didn't wear it's new power well, dcu
In a democratic commonweal;
th, the natural result happened . J
Public opinion rose against La- 9e1
bor, and the Taft-Hartley Act, mc
relieving labor of some of its to
more-abused privileges, was
passed. ev(
If proved no great calamity by
to the working man, but it did Chi
restore a portion of the bal- to
ance to a situation which al- 1m
ways requires some measure of Mi
balance.- . J?<
But Labor has come a long j?
way, and, regardless of future
economic conditions, is not
likely to be forced to return to ,t
its sad state of the late twen-i
ties and early thirties. A new
crop of management has been '
raised too, and its leaders re- .?!
, alize the importance of having ^
employees who are well-fed, j ai
well-clothed, and who live in wt
decent homes. They make bet- thi
ter citizens and, consequently, ris
better employees. . j.br<
It is proper to honor Labor ^
and give credit for what made c<
this nation great?work. e?

Our guess is that Mrs. Mary j

Reports are that Senator pU
Clyde R. Hoey, in his address str
before the Lions.club here last (<n
week, changed several votes
which were headed for Mr. 0,1
Dewey and the GOP. Noted as
North Carolina's silver-tongii- Io1
eri orator, Mr. Hoey does not
manage his persuasion on the an
basis of beautiful oratory allene.
Mr. Hoev usually has th<
plenty of sound reasoning anu ]
old - fashioned horse-sense to /I i
back up his positions: In the
Senator's election comment, he it?
stated that the issue is one of , '
jei sonalities, Truman or Dew- "
e\ The Senator infers that he
will stay in the Democratic
column, and with good reason.
