Tuesday, June 7, 1932 Back To Work Elections may come and elections may go, but most of the folks have to work lot their living just the same. The people need a little more protective govern ment and just a little less administrative government. Hold the big fish off of the little ones and they will be all right. More Honest Effort Needed President Hoover and the Senate Finance Com mittee are said to be about ready to launch a new relief plan. This is a very popular thing. There are no less than 100,000,000 people saying "Whoop er up, boys. And there are just about that many who feel just a little doubtful about the plan. What the folks want is just a little less sweet talk and a little more honest effort. The Wrong Direction The bonus marchers are on the wrong road. Of course, those who have little sense enough to march to Washington and try to seize trains and other meth ods of transportation to make the trip, do not repre sent the soldier boys oj this country. They are marching in an opposite direction from what they did in France. Then they marched to save the country; now they are marching to destroy it. .When men lose their sense of reasoning and hon esty, they will follow a red flag or wave a black one. A selfish purpose is the poorest guide a man can have. And too often it destroys the man who follows it. There is no question but that everybody would like to see the soldier's bonus paid, but when women and children are starving, brave men will not ask for any favors that would press harder against those who are weaker than they are. Lash oi Wealth vs. Cry of Poor We will never have legislation favorable to all the people so long as law-making bodies are moved more by the lash of wealth than they are by the cry of the starving poor. % wmt f jl'W !>■■■■ o«f % ' TU*«*T tNttHCH J5?

The'mail istakenby bus to Raleigh, readiitig theft at 10:30, where it lies over until about,.daybreak the next morning, when it put on a mail plane at 4:45. iii S hours and 20 minutes it reaches New York. This schedule fulfills, for a while at least, our morbid de sire for speed. Of course, we have trains going which would land the mail just a few hours later at a much lower cost. But we must rush on because it is the fashion of the day. And one of the causes of hard times. Public Officials Told To Use Railroads L t Florida Tmcs-Umon One way, and a very good one, so it seems, to econ omize in the expenditure of certain public funds, in the administration of public business, has been found and put into practice in the State of Salifornia, by request of the Governor. An order that recently has been is sued by the Director of Finance, Roland A. Vande grift, of that State, to all State employees, directs "the use of railroad trains instead of automobiles when on official business, if the former transportation is avail-/ able." This order has been issued, so it is stated by the Director of Finance, "In order to further economy in the government of California." "All State departments, boards, commissioners, in stitutions, teachers' colleges,' special schools, courts, and other state officers and agencies" are specifically directed by Director of Finance Vandegrift to com ply with teh order referred to above. In a letter di rected to state officials in California, Director Vande grift says that his attention has been called "to the fact that many state employees are using automobiles to make round trips between Sacramento and San Francisco, between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and between various other points paralleling railroads," that both State-owned automobiles and privately owned automobiles under State mileage permits are being used for such trips." Then it is said in this same letter that "The use of automobiles for traveling over long distances parallel ing railroads is costing the State many thousands of dollars per year, of which a very considerable portion could lie saved if State officers and employees will use the train service." That this is possible is shown by figures giving distances and rates of fare between these various points, in comparison with automobile operating costs. For instance, the train fare between Sacramento and San Francisco (distance 190 miles) is $3.60, while the cost of the trip by automobile, including bridge and ferry fares, is $12.44, the state allowing 4.6 cents per mile when a state-owned auto mobile is used, and 6 cents per mile when a private car is used for the trip. The excess cost in the former instance is $8.84 for a state-owned automobile, and $10.60 when the car used is owned by the state offic ial or employee using it. On the trip between Sacra mento anil Los Angeles (distance 812 miles) the ex cess cost is $6.60 for-a State-owned car and $17.97 for a privately owned automobile. With the facts as stated it does appear that thi», indeed, is a niovve in the direction of the practice of economy in the transaction of public business —a move worthy of being made in other states, since it is very well known that automobile use by public officials, and by employees in public offices, is being made in other states, since it is vjery well known that automo bile use by public officials, and by employees in pub lic offices, is being grossly abused practically every where, in Florida as well as in California and other state*. The matter undoubtedly seeds the attention that has been given to it by the Pacific Coast State. THE ENTERPRISE WHAT'S WRONG AND WHY Whit'i wrong and why? That'* the question the whole world i* asking, never in the history of mankind has the equilibrium of civilization been so upset! Probably more newspapers, maga zines and informative literature are printed in the United States of Ameri ca than anywhere else on the globe— yet, are the people generally well in formd? Answer that questidn for yourself. Do not the majority of our people seem to be headline readers? They eagerly buy the latest edition; scan the headlines and then discard the paper. Every one seems to be in a tremen dous hurry. Millions are out of em ploymeht; have no food, and possibly no shelter, yet one will see even the unemployed hurrying along the streets, with nowhere definite to go, but; nev ertheless, in a terrific hurry to get there. Time now seems to be of little relative value; yet, with all this sur plus time on their hands, very little of it is devoted to contemplation and constructive thought. Rather, the "talkies" must be visited, even though hunger may ensue as a result: The slot and gambling machines must re ceive their quota and even the dance halls and pool rooms are illotted thtir share of_ the meagre pittance a vailable. And, it may be asked;, "what part has the automobile played in this gen eral disruption of morale." The ex tensive purchase of autos helped in no small measure to cripple the rail ways; this and the introduction of the busses. Both the bus and the auto have been and are a distinct and very great aid in business, but it is the abuse of these facilities to which the writer refers. Every Sunday the highways are crowded with autos of every descrip tion, whose drivers are spending their hard-earned money on gasoline—not because, in many cases, they want to go to any particular place, but rather because they feel they must be on the move going somewhere just to enjoy the novelty of motion. Who suffers as a result? The own ers of the cars; many accidents caused by congestion and incompetent driv ing, resulting in the loss of many lives. Under no circumstances must one be along with one's conscience; no time must be spent in contemplation of the great things of life, and, as a result, church attendance suffers. What the auto and bus fail to ac complish in this connection the radio does with neatness and dispatch. It's far easier to sit in an armchair at home by a cozy fire or cooling fan than to sit in a stuffy church! And further more the collection plate is not passed at home. Then, can it be possible that the church has helped to accomplish its' own downfall through careless preach* ! ing and conduct in general? Before the World War, if it became ( noised around that, a certain minister, was unorthodox, that was the end of ; his usefulness in the Christian minis- j try. He was tried for heresy, and, rightly, unfrocked. Now, it has become quite the fash-., ionable and ordinary thing to proclaim j one's disbelief in the Ten Command- j ments; in the literalness of the Scrip- tures; in sin; in eternal punishment; , and in all, practically, the essentials j of a Christian life as understood and practiced by our forbears for many! years. Certain radio preachers seem [ to teach that all these may be ignored] but as long as one does the best on«n knows how it will be all right with Jesus, and our Injure residence in | heaven, or a state of bliss, is assured. "IF I got constipated, I 0S I would get dizzy and have swimming In my head. I would 1 have very severe headache. "For a while I thought I wouldn't take anything—may be I could wear out J the headaches; but I ! found they were wearing me out. M I found Black- Draught would re- „ lleve this, so when I have the very first symptoms, I take Black-Draught and now I dont have the headache.

D. 1932. While the writer is not partisan in any sense, he feels that there is but one ctrnrch Which leads all othtrs in faithful attendance and in the observ ance of discipline. Names need not herein, be mentioned, but as soon as the others follow that example, Chris-! tianity will be the gainer, for when one physically attends a house of wor ship one is bound to come under the, spiritual influence more strongly and naturally. It's all very well to talk of worshiping God by woodland stream and in the cathedral-like for- \ ests, but is that scriptural or orthodox? Then, we have great dissatisfaction with the financial outlook of the coun try: The farmer has his tale of woe; likewise the general artisan and busi ness man all complain that capital is oppressing labor and the working man. Our president has been blamed for al-! most everything from the wreck of the Hesperus to the overthrow of Tam many Hall—if that be possible. There is a spirit of unrest prevalent., throughout the entire world. Crime ( is rampant, and even the possession of great wealth does not prevent suicide j —as witness the case of Eastman, the To the Voters of Martin County zzsssssssssss I sincerely thank my friends who so loy- • - ' ' ally supported me on last Saturday for the ■ Democratic nomination of Judge of the Mar tin County Recorder's Court.
