Address ail communications to 1 lie Enterprise , ( and not to the individual members of the firm. | Tuesday, August 2, 1932 ' ———— ' Must Change To Know More About Cod When people prize their organized charities, their religious club work, their fraternal activities, their civic interests more highly than they do their sports and spend as much time talking about the interests and opportunities offered by these organizations as they do about baseball'and other allied sports, the children will know more about Ood and less about Satan. The Bonus Army The Bonus Army, marching down on Washington recently, seems to have a misconception of govern ment. The members of the army apparently enter tain the idea that the government is for the purpose of supporting the people, rather than an institution supported by the people far ihp mmua| protection of all. —- j The army says they want money and demand that the government pay it. The members of the army do not consider that they aren't the only people in need; nor do they seem to care about the twenty million hungry women .and children who are fat ing a cold winter unprepared, if the former soldiers are as brave they claim to be. they will step out of the bread fine andTet helpless children step in and be fed, Every veteran in the United States who was wound ed in the service of any war or who has since become disabled has been provided for, and nobody is com plaining, but the marchers around Washington. It is gratifying to see the American Legion and the great rank and file of the veterans standing like brave men, carrying their part of the burdens that are press ing down upon brow of humanity at this time. On the other hand, it is sickening to see glutton-giz zard politicians try to captalize votes by appealing to the selfish interests of any group of people. The recent tragedy at Washington last week be tween the bonus seekers and the regular army was very unfortunate and should never have happened. Vet, the bonus marchers were given ample warning and numerous opi*>rtunities to return to their homes. The action taken by the government was necessary in order to insure freedom of thought and action in our great American government. - the ' - Enterprise Is today the favorite news- * s paper in 1,500 homes in Martin County.

The corn crops are almost a total failure on many farms, there being scarcely enough corn to feed the folks, not even mentioning the livestock. With little prospect of making enough from cash crops to buy corn, some extra effort must be made to provide other feed or many farmers will not be able to keep their horses, hogs and cows during the coming year. • There are crops that can be grown from now that will help to take care of the stock. A few acres of turnips will feed a large number of cattle. Clover, oats and rye will make fine grazing for hogs and horses. It is evident now that food is going to be the prime need with the thousands of farmers this coming year, and now is the time to prepare. If every foot of land is planted to some crop during the summer, fall and early winter, it will go along way towards saving the day. Self-reliance and good methods of farming will be the farmer's shortest road to prosperity. Hoover's Plans V/on't Work Mr. Hoover's nine new points will not do the job. Of course they are good as far as they go, and will doubtless stimulate business nativities to some extent, yet they will fall a long ways short of a cure for this depression. Mr. Hoover has time yet to gain fame if he will do the right thing by snatching the reins of government from organized wealth of the country and by balancing the ratio of values of all products and commodities with the value of. the dollar, whirh can be done by cut ting the debts or reducing th_' value of the dollar. When that is done, things will start to improve and th» nation will soon enjoy normil conditions again. All this should be done before a new president is inaugurated on March 4, 1933. If Mr. Hoover performs this act, he is worthy to be retained in the White House during another term. But if he is going to fiddle around and let the rich grow richer and the poor grow poorer until all the country is swallowed up by mortgage and bond hold ers, then he deserves to be beaten. Mr. Hoover's nine new points will not do much good, but will be about like the prosperity 'just ar und the corner." We need to turn from a government of by and for money.and.adopt a new one, a government for the peo ple. - Sad Commentary Sampson Independent. Press dispatches bring the tragic story of a lad in Missouri of fourteen years, who held up and killed a filling station operator in that slate recently, in or der to get funds to assist his father, who was out of work, despondent, and on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The lad, deeply grieved by the condition of affairs at home and growing more and more concerned each day that his dad was not able to secure work and earn a livelihood for his family, conceived of a plan where by he might help the situation. He sought to job a gas station and when the operator resisted, he shot him, the wound proving fatal. He was tried, found guilty, and is now in the prison at Jefferson City, to remain through all the years of his young life. No one condones highway robbery, for it is a crime of the desjierado. However, it is a sad commentary that a lad of fourteen years should be forced to such a rash act, through love of his family, and hunger, in a country where there is an overproduction of food stuffs.
