TIME TO QUALIFY
Now and dui:ng the next three
week* is the time to qualify for vot
ing in the primary of uext June 4 for
IhobC who have not already done so
Such meagre reports as have been re
ceived ftom last Saturdays registra
tion, the first clay the book* were open,
indicate only a tew name*, were added
to the luds Nc new registration is
necejoary. whim means that most vot
ers are already qualified, unless it is
necessary for them to transfer due to
a change of rew dence.
Pressure of economic conditions and
the inclination of the public to look
to governments for relief from these
conditions has created added interest
in this year's selection of candidates.
This is true of those who will serve
in the legislature and in local county
offices. In both instances further
economies are demanded by tax-pay
ers. and for that reason they will be
interested in siring to It that men i
of their choice are installed in the <
places of responsibility concerned with ,
such matters.
. Not only is a heavy vote likely in ,
the primary, but there are many can- (
didate:, in the field for the various
offices, with s'rong Indications that
the lists are by no means closed yet.
Candidates have several more weeks
yet in which to file, as have the 1
individual voters In which to qualify. 1
but. those voters who Intend to take 1
part in the election should not wait
until the last mlrute to get themselves 1
in line. 1
HEFLIN'S FAREWELL
Tom Heflin’s valedictory in the
United States was as dramatic as it
rpparently was ro*l. and. in the light
of the Senates overwhelming vote
against him. hl-i five-hour speech in
defense of hts claim to a seat in that
body would seem to be his last ap
pearance there The expression of
chagrin and surprise that wreathed
his countenance as the voto piled up
against him was one of the few in
stances where he showed genuine evi
dence© of defea.. He is a fighter. If
anything, and the ohanees are his
native state of Alabama and the coun
try at large have not yet heard the
last of Heflin.
It will be no surprise if he launch
es a campaign immediately to stage
a comeback against Senator Black In
this year's Alabama primaries. But
it won't succeed any more than the
fight he has Just lost The Senate's
refusal to seat the party bolter of
1923 will be the signal for his adher
ent© to begin to fall away and his
organization will start to crumble from
now on. Heflin has shot his bolt and
la probably done for in Alabama poli
tic®. though stranger things have hap
pened than would be his eventual re
turn to power. Other men in other
■tatea have been repudiated, only to
work their way back to the top of
the ladder at. the healing process of
time gets in Its work.
But Tom Heflin proved to be his
own worst enemy. He encompassed
hia own undoing. Just as Senator Slm
mnma did in North Carolina It was a
right and the privilege of every citizen
to have and to express his own pre
ference for a presidential candidate in
193 ft, as In any other year. But when
the party has made Re decision in a
fashion so overwhelming as the Dem
ocrats did four years ago, noMtAag was
to be gained by any man running for
office to fly In the face of such over
whelming sentiment. It put bOtb Btffi
mons and Heflin without the pale of
party regularity, and served no good
purpose for them or for others. After
the die had been cast by the conven
tion. nothing was to be gained in mak
ing further resistance. Both men
would have been renominated and re
elected, in all likelihood, had Obey de
sisted from the campaign they waged
They oouid have kept quiet, without
the sluftUfying of conscience. and
would have loot nothing of the reaped
they hoped to gain by the course they
did pursue.
Heflin walked out of the Senate the
other day after having enjoyed for the
last time the privileges extended to
Hun. The odds are decidedly against
him. No more will the hail® of the
Senate ring w.th his denunciations
of the pope, et cetera. And the
country will be none the woree for it.
HUEY DIDN'T WAIT LONG
Huey Long didn't wait long to grab
( the whole show when he got to the
United State© Sennte. He arrived there
along back in January from his home
State of Louisiana, where he has been
accustomed to having his own way so
many years that it were almost as
the whole place belonged to him.
Now he is losing no time in making
himself perfectly at home in his new
,-uiTOundings in the staid, conserva
tive Souate.
Hue) jumps on Senator Joe Robin
yon and leaders of his party and
gives them a b g piece of his mind
to how they arc running things and
how things ought to be run. Experi
ence counts for nothing with Huey;
ne's determined to show the older
toys a thing or two.
His latest sortie is a proposal of
Senator Norris, the insurgent Repub
lican fiom Nebraska, as the Democrat
ic candidate fer President in this
K<»od year 1932 At first he thought
A1 Smith. Joe Robinson and Jim Gar
ner were the timber from which the
choice ahould b*» made. Now. how
ever. since he has had three months or
more to look them over, he doesn’t
think so much of them, and has chang
ed his mind. Uncle George Norris
looks better to Huey, and he breaks
through the traces and stuna the Sen
ate by speaking his mind. Guess it
must have been quite a shock to Rob
inson and Garner to have been given
the gait so abruptly, and they won’t
tleep any more at night for a good
while worrying over the defection of
this stalwart from the Creole country.
Senator Longs tactics impress one
a.; being a bid for further national
notoriety. It can hardly amount to
mudh more than that. For the pres
ent at least, it would seem that the
chief function of the Louisranan in
the Senate will be to furnish it with
plenty of amusement, which to be
sure, is not without Its value in these
days of stress and bewilderment.
THE VERDICT IN HONOLULU
While many were dubious of an ac
quittal in the so-caUed "honor slay
ing" trial In Honolulu, few were pre
pared for the convictions brought In
late la«t Friday by the jury of mixed
tacial ancestry. Nearly every one, at
hast in this country, had expected a
icpeless deadlock or an acquittal, and
most people had hoped for an acquittal.
There is no queAiou as to the fact
ihat a murder was committed. The
rlaying was admitted. But the shrewd
Darrow sought rtfuge and justifica
tion in the unwritten law that is al
most all-sufficient in any state in
America. Lieutenant Massie. quite
conceivably, was Irrational as he con
fronted the brute who admitted as
sault upon hL wife. What man
wouldn’t be under like circumstances?
Yet the law does not countenance
killing even with such provocation.
So far as the written law goes, the
jury’s verdict was Justified.
In America, there would doubtless
hove been an acquittal within an hour
after the jury got the oaee. Most of
us would have taken that view, as
moat of us did in this truftance. The
mob is without justification In a lyn
ching. and its cct is not to be con
doned. But there is a fine point of
difference between the doings of a
mob and the actions of an Individual
v hose woman kin has been outraged.
The individual kids in defense of his
home, whereas the mob In the aggre
gate lacks that justification. Few
men with the high sense of honor that
burns in the breasts of Americans
would have acted differently from
what Lieutenant. Massey did In the
environment in which he found him
self, even though he himaelf arranged
the setting.
In Hawaii civilization has not come
as far among tho natives as with con
tinentals. The men who assaulted
the naval officer s wife were lacking
in the respect for woman which Is
common here. This was not tibe first
nor even the last instance of the kind
in the Inlands. If the law has been
Ineffective, sterner measure* have
been effective in Impressing that fact
upon the natives, the eoda of Justice
will have been met In the freeing of i
the naval lieutenant, hie mother-ill-
Jaw sod the two enlisted men whoj
HENDERSON, <N. C.,) DAILY M3PATCH' MONDAY MAY 2,1982
have been convicted of the slaying of
the brute who outraged an innocent
woman.
PITY POOR RALEIGH
Pky poor Raleigh, whose people are
now struggling along with a double
time arrangement. The dty com
missioners ordered daylight savings
effective yesterday through the sum
mer months, whereas Governor Gard
ner announced that all State offices
and business would continue to be
conducted, as usual, Oq standard time.
As if poor business, hard times and
the torrid weather of the summer
were not enough to have to contend
wKh, this added affliction is plied
upon the burdened shoulders of the
populace.
Time is merely a matter of meas
uring off daylight and darkness, and
the snatching of an hour from early
morning and tacking It on to the lalte
afternoon is s preference, after all.
The difference is scarcely noticed
when the practice is universal, but
where half a community works on
one time basis and the other half on
a different one, the confusion and
nuisance of the arrangement is easy
to comprehend.
So far as our information goes, Ra
leigh is the only place in North Caro
lina where daylight time is recog
nized. The new arrangement will put
the capital city in tune with New
York and several other large cities,
but quite out of alignment with State
offices withi n her own borders and
all out of joint with all the city's
neighbors everywhere else in the
State. Imagine how pleasant it will
be for the Raleigh citizen to have
to turn his watch back an hour every
time he goes to Durham, or Hender
son or Goldsboro or anywhere else
in the vicinity, end then have to turn
it up an hour o« returning home. It
is a sweet experience for those who
like it, and if Raleigh demands it, as
Its people have, else the commission
ers would not have ordered it, they
are quite welcome to the novelty.
We have never thought much of
the daylight savings - idea, but if it
is to be observed anywhere It ought
to be effective everywhere through
out the country, or at least throughout
the whole State. Confusion would be
completely removed if the system were
universal all over the nation, and cer
tainly would ba less if applicable to
the whole State instead of one or a
few towns and cities.

the popular election of the County
Superintendent of Schools where any
tav is levied for the operation of
such schools and to establish a county
wide school tax rate except for debt
service.
Strick economy, fever office hold

powers was the prevailing theme of
nearly every candidate's speech as
they pledged proficient and economi
cal service towards “Cutting the cost
of government and distributing it
according to ability to pay.” Each; of
the fourteen plants of the Tax Relief
Platform, as adopted April' 16th was
directly supported by one or more of
the speakers, and even greater sup

the various candidates elaborated up
on their proposals.
