THE FRANKLIN TIMES ifc. WiOHJSOJ, litter u< Iuk? ?m iagr fi.M ?u||wui l.M hU IwUi ? 7t W LF6f?ign Advertising R*pr?wnt*tW? THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION I Entered at th? Pout Office at Louls tori. N. C., aa second claaa matter. It appears that -Secretary Mellon's tax plan la going to have hard sail ing In the next Congress. Frank H. Hitchcock, Postmaster General In President Taft'e cabinet, will have charge of Senator Hiram Johnson's campaign tor the nomina tion for President on the Republican ticket, according to reports. The tobacco Co-operatives have an nounced that a third payment on the 1922 crop of tobacco will soon be made and that this will not be all ? a fourth payment will be made later. Better look out. It may surprise you yet. Quite a lot has been said about Hen ry Ford being an aspirant for Presi dent. It occurs to us that It would be well for htan or "his friends" to state definitely as to bis former poli tics. Surely he can not be so politic that he Is afraid to say where he stands. I m letting Uie dogs do the growl ing," said a gentleman to another In the TIMES office Tuesday In the course of the usual greetings when ' two friends meet. What a lesson can be learned from that remark. Quite a large number of us would feel a great deal better and get much more out of life If we would adopt the same me thod. The position of the crew of the "Rum Runner" captured this week by the U. B. Government reminds us of the old negro In Jail who had Bent tor m lawyer, who after hearing the ne groes tale said to him "why Sam they can't put you In ]all for that." And 8*m answered "Well Boss I don't know what they can do but thy'se done and done ft." Governor Morrison, according to Tuesday's reports, maintains that McBrayer should be removed from of fice, stating that the Statute is direct mandate from Legislature and neces sity for removal Is not affected by ap peal to Supreme Court. Anyway why should we have a law if we are not go ing to enforce it. And why is one man any better than another to abide by its consequences. We maintain that if McBrayer violated that law then he should be put o' t or the law re pealed and he should not be allowed to hide behind any little technicali ties. The question Is where is the liquor and *why tlie crew locked up? Two government cutters captured a rum running ship off the -coast this week and took the ship and crew into cus tody as well as 200 caseB of whiskey and "Running Bill" McCoy, the alleg ed owner of the whiskey. The crew, according to reports were locked up. The ship was just within the 12-mile limit. It seems that two government department are confused about the transaction; one contending that the seizure was right and the other wrong. And in the meantime the crew and the owner were locked up. No doubt they are somewhat puzzled. There should be gome method of enforcing the law requiring all ani mal!) dlelng from natural causes to be burled. We understand there Is an epidemic of hog cholera In Frank lln comity that la causing the loss of thousand* and thousands of pounds of meat. And according to our Informa tion the spread of the disease has been augmented by people throwing the dead carcases of cholera hogs in the old fields Instead of burying them ?a the law requires. At present the ?nforcement of the law, so we learn, depend* upon a person reporting his neighbor and then pro-ring that the hog had cholera, which la next to Im possible to ? technical court. Some thing that will get results should be dons to relicT* ? section of such epi ~W: T -j. \ ' v* * \ It oaeurs to us that It the newspa stop talMa* so much ?ko?t the K. K. K. sad assist la play tag ay sensationally rrery little act that la teas and is laid at the Klan'a door therv would not be quite bo much activities along these objectionable lines. There Is absolutely no <jues? tlon about the (act that each report has been exagerated, either by the victim or the over tealous reporter. We believe there are many cases the parties administering the punishment whether K. K. K.'s or not are Justifi able and would receive the commen dation of some of their wost critics If the latter had to undergo some of the embarrassments of the former. In fact we have in mini a case now that the Courts have tried to handle and failed, and we don't think the good people of the community would be guilty of any crime to produce the re lief they are entitled to and have fail ed to get. We believe the critics are going too far wjth their criticisms. The Klan has Just the same right to exist and keep its secrets as the Wood men, the Mason's, the Knight of Co lumbus or any other order. And the [act that they have a prescribed uni form Is no reason to condemn them as criminals nor to charge them with ill the meanness and lawlessness hap pening In this United States. TO BUILD A TOW>' A Business Men's organization can work wonders for any town by direct ing the united activities of a commu nity in the right channel. It U true Loulsburg can't be made to grow much more by a spirit of discounting pur present business institutions And encouraging the duplication of them to the detriment of all. The spirit that should be encouraged would be to foster the support of the enterpris es we have. To teach all our citizens and institutions that the way to make a town better is for all to support and help make better our present enter, prises. Or that it is Just as much necessary for oiir business men to trade with their home institutions as it Is for their home Institutions and others to trade with them. The rule must apply both ways before it will work successful. For instance If Loulsburg has an enterplse, even though It may not be giving entire satisfaction. It Is the duty of all Louls burg. business men and others, to ex tend his or her patronage, counsel and effort! to making that a success and what is desired. Instead of lend ing Influence and encouragement to the establishment of others of the same kind. It will be found that the proprietor is sincere in his efforts to make a success, and will appreciate advice given In a co-operative and sincere spirit. Loulsburg needs no more merchants, no more lawyers, no more banks, no more doctors, no more more most any kind of business that It already has. The town is not large enough to juBtlfiy the proper conduct of more than it has at present, and further duplication will tend to weak en all. What we need is the support of what we have. There is enough business In Loulsburg to support the enterprises we have if the people of the town and county will support them. And If they won't support the present Institutions how can it be reasonably expected that they will support oth ers of a like kind. One of the biggest objects for which a business men's organization Is form ed is to encourage the establishment of new enterprises. To benefit a town and community and not injure its present enterprises the organization should build up a spirit that would encourage the getting of new. insti tutions of a different kind. Something that will open a new branch of busi ness and help ail ? the new comers as well as the old establishments. It Is to be hoped that the Influence of the Business Men's Association of Louls burg will cause our people to take a broader view of their responsibilities as citizens and direct their efforts along big and broad lines that will not only build new enterprises but will build the old ones as well.
