C., at accond-cUia matter under the act of Congreis of March 3, 1879. Address all communication* to The Enterprise and not to the individual members of the firm. Tuesday, November 1, 1932 Too Much Organization The politicians are troubling themselves to explain exactly what is the matter with the country. But the politicians do not agree on the cause. After all, too much organization, which has led to consolidation, has bled the unorganized of their prof its and privileges. Our government has allowed certain privileges to business interests, enabling them to exact too much profits, by which the unorganized business has been bled white, and the organized business has grown gor geously rich. Then wealth took the final step to destroy the power of the individual to carry on an equitable and fair basis of competition and business freedom. Now, all the railroads, all the coal com panies, most of the automobile manufacturers, most of the fertilizer makers, all the tobacco firms, all the steamship companies, Oil companies, nearly all the chain stores, banking institutions, and sellers of bread, potatoes, salt, sugar, clothing, and meats have their prices fixed and governed in New York City, where sits a board of national and international bankers, who—through stock pools, bonds and mortgage trusts, handled by friendly allied directorates—are literally milking the life out of a very large portion of Ameri can, as well as foreign, people. Their ways are so smooth and so remote from the ordinary eye that they draw all our blood, and we don't even see them. This system can not be destroyed by an ordinary president and a common Congress. Hoover has ut terly failed—perhaps for the want of courage. Mr. Roosevelt, who will be the country's next president, will have a glorious opportunity to go down in history a» a mighty statesman —if he will only restore the power of the government of this country to the peo ple, and free them from that silent, though vicious, power that is exacting unfair tribute from every lick of manual labor, every morsel of food, and every rag of clothing in the country. Organized business is starving unorganized hu manity. Machinery has no love for the people of the country. Human beings have, but they are being crushed by machines. .V _____________________ _____ An Appreciation Ever thankful foe the services offered and done and the acts of favor accorded it during the past years, The Enterprise wishes, especially at this time, to publicly express, along with all the members of the family, its sincere appreciation for the valuable as sistance rendered and offered during the Irecent death of Mrs. W. C. Manning, a co-partner whose unsel fish acts and desires for better things in life for others had so much to do with the paper's operation during many years. The paper feels greatly indebted to Miss Hattie Thrower and Rev. C. H. Dickey, who willingly as sisted in the work of the office while members of the firm were away. Socialist Principles Sampson Independent. More than twelve hundred thinking men and wom en found their way into the auditorium in Raleigh Saturday night to listen to Norman Thomas, candi date of the Socialist Party for the presidency of the United States. If there were those in that crowd who went expecting to hear the leader of the Socialist Party preach a doctrine of distribution of the wealth of the nation and a destruction of the constitution and laws under which the country is governed, they were sore ly disappointed. He preached no such doctrine. We are not so fully informed as to the teachings and beliefs of the Socialist Party as to pass judgment up on the party and what it stands for, or to predict what would happen if that party came into full power* in the United States. We are aware of the fact, how ever, that due to the misunderstandings of the past, there are those who do not distinguish between the principles held by the Socialists and the Communists, and who still believe that the Socialist Party holds principles similar tp those under which the Russian Soviet Government is now operating. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Socialist Party is pot a party of revolution. It holds some of the same prin ciples and beliefs of those organizations which were the forerunners of Sovietism without the revolution ary tendencies which would wrack any movement. One thing, however, was deeply impressed upon the PUBLISH BO BVBRY TUSBPAV A«C miP»V minds of those who heard Mr. Thomas' address. That • was that many of the ideas and principles which he expressed himself and his party as favoring are sound and must some day come to be written into the poli cies of the parties that are to govern this nation. Either these principles must be embraced, or we are headed for a social revolution. Mr. Thomas discussed frankly the various weak nesses of the present American system of government, and each panacea he offered was founded upon the Democratic principles of Thomas Jefferson, of free and equal opportunities to every man and just and exact justice to all with special privileges to none. In a way, many of his teachings hark back Jo the early days of the nation, ignoring the common belief, in this day so rampant, t|at capital must be considered in all administrative or political enactments. The older citizens who heard Mr. Thomas could not fail to recall the early days of Bryanism. Not that Mr. Thomas in any way reminded one of Bryan as a speaker, bin in the similarity of the two men in their thinking and in the principles they advocated. Bryan advocated a score of policies that were repudiated by the two major political parties of that day. He was ahead of his time, as latter years have shown. De feated three times in his effort to head this nation and put into effect these policies which he preached, he lived to see the day when the two great parties of the land had adopted all of them save one. One could not but be impressed with the fact that Mr. Thomas was advocatisg policies and principles which the great parties have not as yet been willing to adopt. And yet these policies and principles rec ommend themselves to the thinker as the soundest of suggestions yet heard. We are free to predict that if this nation lives and remains free, practically every principle and policy so strongly advocated by Mr. 'iiiomas will be written into the creeds of the govern ing parties. Time and conditions will force them to adopt them or this nation will not survive. It is easy to see how people can be influenced to follow leaders year after year, even when they are slightly oppressed, but it is just as easy to realize that the coming gen eration of men and women will some day reach a point where they will refuse to be further exploited and made slaves of by the capitalistic class intent only on rolling up huge gains because of greed and avarice, single thought of the masses of the people. • • The Socialist Party may never come into power in the United States; in fact, there is every reason to think that it will not. But it is equally sure that the principles for which it is now fighting must and will survive if the nation is to continue to fulfill that des tiny for which it was first conceived. Speculation on the Kind of Winter We'll Have Statesville Daily. The weather has always been and perhaps always will be a popular subject for discussion. Many citi zens are already speculating on the kind of winter we are to have—whether it will be sold and long-drawn out, etc. Some of the prophets contend that a mild winter is usually followed by a severe one, but the records do not prove this view to hold good every time. It has been demonstrated that a mild winter may be followed by a severe it may be followed by another mild winter, or several qf them in a row. When there are a few severe winters or a few mild ones coming together; a few mild summers or a few of scorching heat; or dry summers or wet summers following each other, there will be much talk that the weather has permanently changed; that it isn't like jt used to be. According to the weather records, which is the only reliable weather data, year in and year out, the weather is q.ear the same. There are extremes at times, just as there have been extremes before. Cold and heat, winter and summer, drought and rain, have always come along with regularity, even if not dis tributed to suit, and always will. Which is said in connection with the knowledge that many people are suffering now, and have been in anticipation of a severe winter simply because last winter was mild. This winter may be mild, or it may be otherwise. But it won't be severe just because last winter was mild. The meteorologist in charge of the weather station in New York City says that the weather in that city has been mild for five successive winters, last winter being the 9econd warmest on rec ord. Since there hu*e been five successful mild win ters in New York, the weather man that a hard winter is due, but he admits that while it will come eventually it may not come at this time. But New York weather isn't North Carolina weath er. We haven't had five mild winters in succession. Another weather bureau man expresses the belief on his observation, although he doesn't give it as a pre diction, that the coming winter will be mild. The New York weather man says that in 80 per cent of the cases under observation a warm October means a warm winter. Consider October and make your own guess. „ Curing Cancer New York World-Telegram. Every so often in the unsung but relentless war on disease a victory is announced. No spectacular victory has been heralded in the fight on the great killer cancer, but last week in St. Louis thirty-one of the country's leading specialists agreed that cancer is curable if discovered and treated in its early stages. They reported more than 8,000 cures of more than five years' standing. They urged annual physical ex aminations of all persons past 35. Cancer takes a toll of 150,000 lives in the United States and Canada every year. To save these vic tims and their suffering is the Job of this generation •s the partial conquest of tuberculosis was the Job of a preceding out.
