have been following for more than 35
years, even though one of the can
didateS for the gubernatorial nominal
ton is admitted to be one of the
cleverest actors, playing one of the
most appealing roles, ever seen upon
the political stage in North Carolina,
Mcdonald Able Psychologist.
For DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald, of
Winston-Salem, former professor of
psychology, is not only conceded to be
one of the ablest mass psychologists
who has ever sought public office IN
North Carolina but as talented and
accomplished an actor as the State
has ever known. His personality is
both delightful and INTRIGUING, his
voice smooth and convincing and his
approach polished and engaging. He
has it, them, and those in addition to
a decidedly masculine physique with
a bearing and manner that is decided
ly pleasing. DR.. Mcdonald also has a
nimi-le and agile mind, especially in
the discerning the dislikes and pho
bias of the public and an unusual
ability to make all those who think
they have either real or imaginary
grievances against the government
feel that he is a new Moses come to
lead them out of their Wilderness
Skillful Managers.
In addition to his engaging personal
characteristics and unusual persuas-
i've powers, DR.. Mcdonald has sue
ceeded in surrounding himself with a
group of campaign managers who at
the same time are skillful stage man
ayers, ballyhoo artists and gag men.
More catchy iblurbs have been born in
the brains of the Mcdonald mentors
in his headquarters here than ever
before in the memory of campaign
lookers-on. With Campaign Manager
Willie Lee Lumpkin as producer, As
Sistant Campaign Manager Itimous
T. Valentine as his "anger' and Philip
Whitley as stage manager and master
of the wardrobe, and with an amaz-
ing array of feminine pulchrritude in
his office personnel, DR.. Mcdonald is
admitted to have virtually everything
needed to give North Carolina the
greatest political show it has ever

huge, carefully staged mass meetings
by which his managers assemble au-
diences that ran into the thousands
where his opponents are satisfied
with only a few hundred hearers. It
has been stupendous, magnificent, as
founding, colossal.
Campaign Is Amazing.
There is no doubt that the his
trionics, the subtle scenery, the soft
lights and the pretty promises of his
campaign have so far not only amaz-
ed, attracted but virtually hypnotized
thousands of Democrats in North Car
DINA, majority of whom did not
bother to stop and think about what
he said. Until ten days or two weeks
ago his opponents and their support

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

June 1, 81 A. D.-4O,OOO Jews were
massacred when 58-year-old Titus
Flavius Bespasianus, Roman general,
captured and destroyed Jotapata, Jul
dea. Only Josephus the general and
historian and 40 men were able to
survive the holocaust by hiding in a
cave.
THE men refused to permit Jose
phus to surrender and were resolved
to die" it is recorded. "At his sug-
gestion they cast lots, and the first
man was killed by the second and so
on, until all were dead except Jose
plus and (perhaps) one other. So
Josephus saved them from the sin of
suicide and gave himself up to the
Romans. He had prophesized that
the place would be taken-as it was
on the 47th day, and now he pro-
phesized that both Vespasian and his
son would reign over all mankind.
The prophecy saved his life"
VeSpasian and Titus did become
Roman emperors. Surprisingly I'M
der them-the men who had caused
100000 Jews to be slain in their con-
quest of Jotapata and Jerusalem
Jews enjoyed equal political rights
with non-Jewish subjects and freedom
of conscience in the Roman empire
for the first time.
June 1, 1789-The first law enacted
by Congress was approved by George
Washington. 1t was IAN act to reg

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY
20 Years Ago Today-The world
got it's first inklings of what Berlin
announced as tremendous victory
at Jutland.
An outline of this No. 1 naval en-
gagement of the war was given here
last week. Summing up it's effects,
Liddell Hart says:
For the British Navy, Jutland
would better not have been fought at
all 1t undoubtedly deprecated
British naval prestige in the eyes of
Allies and the home public more
than the fact of Britain's continued
supremacy at sea could redeem.
That supremacy was to ensure the
ultimate downfall of German power
to continue the war. But no victo-
ries battle helped, as such a battle
might, to shorten the process of ex-
haustive slaughter on land. Jutland
merely insured what was already in
sured without a battle.
"On the technical side, Jutland was
more significant 1t showed that
was far higher In material,
y uLIdIlU SIlOWSO dlSO lLldC CHc kAOIIllI
atty had failed to see or profit by ex-
perience as well as the Germans"
Germans were likewise superior in
organization, training and aggressive
ness-in everything except numbers
to the British
Those readers intrigued by the de
tails of Jutland, the most fascinating
naval subject in modern history, are

edition Q935) of Liddell Harris "A
History of the World War;" "The Rid
die of Jutland,'' by Gibson and Har-
per; and THE Battle of Jutland," by

OTHERS VIEWS
WHY THE SALES TAX.

WHY THE SALES TAX.
To the Editor:
Years ago, only the rich children
went to school, either someone run
ming private school, charging $500
to $500 per month tuition, or a family
hiring a teacher who lived at the
home.
Around 1850, counties started hav-
ing free public schools, but only the
poorer class went to them, in fact
we looked down on them. Around
1900, under Governor Aycock, we
started charging the public school
system so that now there is very
little of the old private pay ones
Each county paid for it's own free
school by property tax, under which
the rich man whether he had Chill
dren or not paid most of it, the poor
man paying very little or nothing.
When the State took over this en-
tire system, this tax was continued,
but we know how during the past few
years property has deprecated, and
brought in so little income that own
ers had all they could do to hold what
they had, and couldn't pay tax So
to help raise that around Is million
for schools was devised the sales tax.
Under this the rich man spending
$4,000 yearly pays $4,000 while the
poor man spending $4,000 pays $500.
Considering there are far more chill
dren in the poorer class to benefit
they should be willing to pay at least
the small share that falls on them!
The only change 1 advocate is that
merchants be allowed to include tax
IN their prices. All knowing they
had this to pay, would adjust their
prices to include it same as thew do
rent, clerk-hirt etc. Buying gas for
$500, you know SO cents is for tax,
but not seeing it, you do not think of
II. And this would eliminate that IL
cents for ten cent item, which real
~ seems to be the biggest kick.
The sad thing about all this "hot
air. promises being swallowed by the
public is the next LEGISLATURE is going
to want to cancel the tax, and wish
they could cancel all taxes but not
be able to do it, same as the last
Legislature wanted to but couldn't.
which will give Prof Mac" a good
alibi.
Read today the trouble Kentucky
is having on this same problem.
