THREE THOUGHTS
Rv WICKES WAMBOLDT

Never, if you can possibly pre-
vent it, fill your opponents with
the power of antagonism and ha-
tired. Do not dodge issues, do not
pussytoot, but avoid in every way
You can arousing resentment to-
ward you personally and toward
the cause for which you are stand
ing.
Be courteous fighter. Take
your stand on principles, but lay
off words and phrases which will
.needleSsly cause anger and which
will fire the opposition and fill
their boilers with steam. Fight as
hard as you like. Hit as hard as
you can, but be a polite fighter.
If your opponents like you, that
very fact makes it harder for
them to fight you.
NO EXCUSE FOR THIS
A Detroit woman who gave in
formation to the police about ac-
tivities and plans of the notorious
Black Legion was found shortly
afterward bound and brutally
beaten. That such an outrage was
allowed to occur is a serious re-
Election on the police. Any intel
ligent person would have known
that that witness against the dan
gerous Black Legion should have
been protected by concealing her
identity and guarding her person.
One reason there is such diff
Guilty in convicting criminals is
that witnesses are afraid to tes-

the sincerity of the police to save
them from the vengeance of GRIM

dud these days. The crowds just aren't

curiosity the father of an Infamous gang

There was time, year, or so back,
when the elder Dillinger drew large audi

of the :gangster is about over in America.
The public has caught up with itself. II
there is any hero worship at all it's for the

snuff out those thugs of whom John Dlllln-

Somehow it sort of restores ones faith IN

the three schools already transferred
there, we will not kick"
The present row over consolidation
completely overlooks the basic ele-
ment which led to the consolidation
in the first place-the financial ability
of the State to provide revenue for
the maintenance of three competing
State institutions of higher learning
with overlapping departments and
faculties, costing hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars year. Some are Won

least. A Graham spokesman here to-
day indicated that there would be no
weeping or wailing either among the
State alumni or faculty if the con-

and State should again become an
independent institution no longer

Graham, with a football team that
would not be subject to the Graham

Raleigh. May 19.-North Carolina
bonds are still sagging in price,
though yet above par, as the result
Of the fact that DR.. Ralph w. Nc
Donald is in the lead in the contest
for the Democratic nomination for
governor, State Treasurer Charles M.
Johnson said today. The New York
bond market has been exceedingly
skittish Of North Carolina bonds ever
since Or. Mcdonald came out with
his program for governor and the
Rond Buyer, New York financial pub
ucation, recently had an article deal
inc with the situation in North Caro-
lima. Mr.. Johnson pointed out
For many weeks now I have been
getting telephone calls, kilograms and
letters from holders of North Caro-
lima bonds reflecting nervousness and
uneasiness over the outlook" John
son said. For some $6O,00O,OO0 worth
of state bonds are held right here in
the state, about $30,O00,00O by banks
and about the same amount by indi-
viduals, mostly in small amounts.
There are thousands of people of
small means who have almost every
thing they own invested in North Car
DINA bonds and are dependent upon
the yield from these bonds for their
living.
IF these bonds should fall below
par it would be a very serious blow
to the North Carolina banks and the
thousands of individuals who own
North Carolina bonds. 1t would be
still more of a blow to them if the
State should default on these bonds
But l am confident that the people of
the State are going to insist, as they
have in the past, that the State MAIN
tain a balanced budget and keep up
its credit, regardless of who may be
nominated governor. North Carolina
cannot afford not to maintain it's
credit"
SO far the only profit which North
Carolina bondholders have made from
North Carolina bonds has been the in
terest yield from them, Johnston said.
For while the State bonds dropped to
a low level in 1888, most of those who
held these bonds kept them and re-
fused to sell at a zig loss because
they had faith in the State and it's
ability to balance it's budget. He be-
lieves the next General Assembly will
insist on a balanced budget even if
Dr. Mcdonald should be elected gov
e,nor, Johnson indicated.

And if the board of trustees and Cen
