C4 aa second class matter under Act of March 4, 1879, - ■ ^ THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1933 ■‘G A CHALLENGE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ^ The trying economic conditiofl under which the world has labored for the past several months constitutes a challenge to the American people. It challanges the resourcefulness of a nation that is capable of resourcefulness. It challenges the courage of a nation that is inherently courageous. ~ It challenges the best minds of a nation that leads the modern world in ability to produce great minds. It challenges the wealth of a nation that has material things in abundance. The American people have turned to the task of relieving human want and suf fering with a keen realization of their duty to those who are out of work. No nation has shown greater devotion to the problem of bringing order out of chaos in the economic world. That spirit must be kept alive. “Of whining and complaining and la menting there is enough,” declares the Charlotte Observer in an editorial caption ed, “The Call For Courage.” That is our settled conviction. Adversities, as the Ob server points out, should be met with a determined, resolute grim, relentless iron of will not to be whipped by them. Press dispatches from Seattle, Wash ington, last Wednesday told of how 2,000 unemployed men organized for an indefi nite stay in the city hall, s.aying they would not leave until their relief demands were granted. What were those demaiids? They asked for three days work a week at a wage scale of $4..'i0 per day, for the county to give $13.50 per week per fam ily in groceries, free light and water from the city plant and for free gasoline on which to make a pilgrimage to the state- capitol to present their claims to the state legislature which is in se.ssion. Press dis patches also recorded the efforts of some members of the group to sing “Interna tionale,” “Solidarity,” and other commun ist songs. That is not patriotism. That is not dis playing the true American spirit. That is not a way out of the unfavor.''.ble economic surrender to false doctnneSi no nourish ment of false hopes.

This is the question which.^ muWtndJnoaH ■forms; reseotful of the ,, caused them to live under the tyrannical rule of the British government, with the alibi that the British soldiers were "paid- soldiers, soldiers who were well fed and amply clothed, while their own lot was such that it were better to surrender than to see the thirteen colonies through. But they, with their courageous, fear less and indomnitable leader, George Washington, neither whined nor com plained. Placing their faith in a Supreme Being in whQm they believed, they fought on and won a glorious victory. - Similar courage is the need of the hour. It is foolish to surender when battles P13J be won. That was the spirit of Washing ton’s men. /iinerica is fortunate today in having two men as leaders of the two great po litical parties who are courageous, \^ho are throw’ing their entire influence toward the coveted goal—work and a reasonable return for that work for every man who honestly wants to work. President Hoover, as titular head of the Republican party, who will become a private citizen on March 4, last week sounded the rallying call to Republicans of the nation to support the new adminis tration in all its constructive measures. We have confidence in Mr. Hoover and believe that he and the Republican party are .sincere in their declaration of support. Franklin D. Roosevelt comes into office with the promise of giving relief, with the promise of a' “new deal.” That he will fulfill that promise if it is within his power to do so is unquestioned. To be successful he must be backed by a people who are demonstrating a “determined, resolute grim, and a relentless iroi of will not to be whipped” by adversities. The spirit of Washington who led his soldiers through the hardships at Valley Forge, the spirit of Lincoln who saved a nation torn with internal strife and the spirit of Wilson who envisioned a world made “safe for democracy” come back from the grave and call upon us to have courage and hold firm in the principles of sound government and peaceful society.

If we believe that wo “can't” do a thing then ve will not do it The one and only thing 'we have to win success with is •mind. For one’s mind to wo"k at the high est capacijty we need to have a and with a task such as they have never been called upon to face before, have striven mightily to prevent every citizen from suf fering of cold and hunger. If the relief work is to be carried on successfully, they must have the co-operation of those for whom relief is given. Many municipalities have taken a wise step in demanding of “relief cases” that an effort be made to help themselves. No Iionest man should hesitate to respond to that appeal. “Relief cases” can help them selves and helff brin^ the country back to prosperity if they will cultivate a garden^ accept the wages and work which is at hand and keep faith with the pioneering spirit of our forefathers who founded this nation. The confession of the would-be assassin of President-Elect Franklin D, Roosevelt is evidence that an un-American doctrine exists. “I hate all officials and anybody who is rich” is the only excuse he could give for a dastardly effort to end the life of the man who is to be the next President of the United States. We do not believe that such a doctrine has any large number of believers. We do not believe that the majority of the^peo- ple have lost confidence in the govern ment or the administrators of national af- .fairs. Yet such lack* of courage as display ed by the group at Seattle and the doc trine illustrated by Guisseppi.Zingari are capable of retarding progress in the direc tion of recovery. rt must be stated that the majority of Americans have, accepted their lot with a patience and a fortitude which when the histoiy of these times is written will be the bright page in it all. The quiet and or derly -way with which most demands have been made makes it al^the more import ant that we find a aolution. . The way, United States said this in effect “There has been so much pressure from repea lists and from the bone drys that we are shifting the responsibility from us to the people. Now it is up to the wets to show their strength and get the required number of states to ratify repeal and up to the drys to keep this from happening.”. The Journal-Patriot has always been dry in sentiment, from the first doubting the wisdom of repeal unless a better method of controlling the liquor traffic were proposed. However, it is American democracy to let the majori+y rule. When the repeal legislation goes before thfe. people in each state, the opportunity will come for each side to show its strength and fight for victory. Incidentally, The Journal-Patriot was first to publish the new’s that the House had passed the repeal measure in this section, not even the afternoon dailies carrying the information on Monday. We make fhe pattern of our life. The richness of life is with in us and no one has failed so long as he can hegin'again. A happy disposition is the result of happy, cheeiv thinking. Health and prosperity are the results primarily of optimistic thoughts Mental attitude is more than half the battle of life. Triple Murder Is Up To New Yorit Police When a man bites a dog. that’s news. When a man ousts a lady as society edi tor, that is also news. Here’s wishing Mr. Armfield and the Elkin Tribune much success. Everything has good points. Taking a deep breath for a long kiss develops a girl’s lungs. The great China question, as seen in most of our homes, is, “Who will wash the dishes?” He who keeps too many irons in the fire getsibumed. Trouble is a lot of fun and fun is a lot of trouble. .

John Sweeney, a middle-aged newspaper peddler,, stumbled onto the bodies before dawn when he made his register call at the bar room *0 give a paper to the bar tender. Michael Griffin, the bartender, who was known as "Patsy," lay flat on his back behind the bar. John Egan, an ex-convict who es caped from Sing Sing in 1931, was sprawled across the floor. An at- tractive .young woman, Dorothy j Miller, who had a police record of pe'ty_^crime, lay in a corner. Eg^’s left hand was frozen to the bu.t of a faly lt.aded pistol which he had been trying to pull from his o'vercoat pocket when he was shot?. Each of the victims had been shot in the right side of the head. A fourth shot hit Egan in the jaw. Police attributed the kil ing ‘o a racketeer war.
