A GOOD LOSER.

II has been customary for many
years that when one party man is
defeated by another in a contest for
a nomination for the defeated brother
to rise up at once, congratulate his
late opponent, and pledge him hi
loyal support. But there have al.
ways been degrees of loyalty IN the
support thus given. and that degree
OF loyalty shows what manner {
man the loser really Is, not what he
says he is. The test of losing has
often shown such true merit in a
loser that its manifestation right
there laid the foundation deep and
strong for future success. Hence. as
the loser is usually in the public eye,
we like to see how he stands up
under his loss.
According to all the tests Mr.. Gard
ner is not only a graceful loser bul
in the support of his late opponent
he shows the right kind of loyal.
and none of the big men of the pas
who have served party and people,
have shown more resplendently this
fine spirit than Mr.. Gardner is now
doing since his opening speech here
last Saturday.
His delyerance was convincing evil
dence 10 even those of cynical mind
that he is game TO the core and a
good loser. There was no disccrni-
Bile bitterness in either his speech or
his demeanor He manifested 10
hard feelings whatever towards those
who were among his strongest or
ponents in the primary. and his re-
spectful references to Mr. Morrison
showed that he considers him a
worthy victor. To him the past is
a closed incident, and this virile
North Carolinian faces the future
without any rancor in his heart, and
with unimpaired confidence.
Men who suffer defeat like Nj.
Gardner are comparable to the
Grecian heroes made immortal by
epic poems; and the spirit that
prompts him to aid his party is q
heritage which he doubtless received
from his Confederate father. Mr.
Gardner has proved himself to be a
loyal Democrat, a sportsman In the
truest sense of the word. and a great
North Carolinian.

ate in giving in their property that
their own valuations were accepted

But telling the truth about the

thing with many PERSONS. motyated
by either ignorance or viciousness.
The opportunity TO tell the truth.
and the encouragement TO do so, was
welcomed by many tax payer, es-
pecially holders of interest bearing
property whose incomes would have
been practically annihilated under
the old rate. simply because other
classes of property were so UNI
devalued that a LIBERALIZATION of
money and solvent credits would
have resulted in giving these a tax
bearing burden four times greater
than tangible property.

In this county, for instance, jumped
from s1.116.000 in 1919 to s3.450.-

over the state. as ii was expected to
do. the income in solvent credits

Telling the truth has been said to
be the right thing in all other affairs
of life. II Is true also In this matter.
What honest man can object 10 thu
