Have Right To Criticise
Kemp D. Battle, president of the North Carolina
Bar Association, bristled up when Judge M. V. Barn
hill was criticised by certain newspapers in the state
for turning a doctor loose, and put a woman helper
in the penitentiary for an illegal o|>era
tion on a young woman, causing her death.
Well, Mr. Battle, you need not kick, because the
supreme court and the people at large are going to
keep on criticising and reversing judges, see
they not only have the privilege, but they have the
power to criticise and reverse those "infallible" fel
lows.
In this particular case, we know very little, espec
ially of the legal technique, and we have the very
highest respect for Judge Barnhill. Mr. Battle, how
ever, intimates that the solicitor thought it best, as
he might not be able to convict, which raises another
point for criticism, because solicitors, too, are just
ordinary human folks, and it is possible that he, too,
may be in line for criticism. He accepted the plea,
the testimony was never brought out, so the public
had no way of knowing the facts. It may be that
the doctor entered his nolo contendre plea, to avoid
listening to a big lot of damaging and ugly testimonx
about this particular case, and perhaps numerous
previous ones.
So far as we know, this case was properly handled
by both the judge and solicitor. We know, too, that
judges and solicitors are human beings and are sub
ject to the same passions and errors as other people.
We also know that there are vast opportunities for
both to push hard or soft on the |>eda) of justice. In
cases where there are lots of fine friends and conveni
ent political leaders, it is easy to nol pros. It is easy
to get a nolo contendre occasionally—and then again
the hand of prosecution sometimes bears heavily, and
some other times the hand of mercy presses very
lightly.
We frankly confess that we believe most judges
and solicitors are honest, wise, and discreet men, and
we know some in the years past have not measured
up to that standard. Some judges are arrogant be
cause they forget that it is their exalted position and
not themselves that are sacred in our governmental
system.
Criticism has kept many men of position and prom
inence ckise to duty. The people created the office
of judge, they elect men to fill them. They will al
ways have the right, and will exercise that right, to
honestly criticise them. The judge that rules with
an iron hand and creates awe in administering jus
tice in his courts is to be deplored; the judge that
commands the respect and magnifies justice is the kind
of judge that all men respest. „
Hitler, Germany's Biggest Mistake
If we should be asked to describe that fellow, Adolph
Hitler, now in all respects the supreme ruler of
Germany, we would certainly be bound to use all the
little words and all the bad words we know in the
English tongue.
Our reason (6T calling him so mean and low would
be based on his persecution of a race of people that
has helped in a great way to make Germany strong
in business, science, and culture; and because of Hit
ler's actions in this matter, not only will these peo
ple have to suffer hardships for ages to come, but his
own people will be held in contempt and suffer the
persecutions that always overtake persecutors.
Our reason for denouncing him as little is because
his egotisim and ambition are so much larger than his
heart and brain.
The German people deserve pity for the rash step
their country has taken jn allowing such a void soul
as Hitler to assume the role of dictator over them.
The Ways of a Politician
Now, what about our own Josiah William Bailey?
He said last summer that we needed more money,
and denounced the Hoover-Mellon-Mills policy of
contraction and solidity. Of course, he was talking
then and was really telling the truth.
Now the te*t comes, and he votes with the same
crowd he was denouncing less than a year apo.
The ways of • politician often cause men to doubt
their boNßtjr.
Justifying Our Expectations
Senator Josiah William Bailey is fully justifying
our expectations of him by the course he is following
in fighting and voting against those principles and
practices of the administration that are the only hope
of the average man and the legitimate business of the
country. No man should look at him now as a patriot
but rather with the suspicion that he is a traitor to
the best interests of the average man.
His own speeches in last year's campaign make
as great a contrast with his recent votes as black
does to white, and everybody knows it is not from
any new enlightenment of the head or the heart, be
cause Josiah was plenty smart when he made the
speech and, in our opinion, was just as honest in his
convictions when he made his speeches as he was when
he did his voting.
We fear that our Senator has fallen from his high
estate as a Democrat" 16 that of a puny and despised
politician. The voters of North Carolina ought to
file away the record of Mr. Bailey's votes. There is
another day coming, and, unless we are mistaken, the
folks will ask Mr. Bailey why he deserted the prin
ciples of his party and joined with the gang that has
had more to do with our financial troubles than all
other causes combined.
Away with a man that deserts.
Carter Glass' Stand
Our spirit of contempt kindles when men like Car
ter Glass stand up in our highest legislative halls and
oppose currency expansion, and offer as their reason
that we have "ample facilities" to expand credits and
curerncy by more than $4,000,000,000, through the
Federal Reserve Banks. Mr. Glass fails to explain
that the Federal Reserve Banks are entirely bossed
by Morgan, Mills, and Mllon, who want to deflate
rather than inflate—which means increasing the val
ue of their property and lowering the value of prop
erty of other folks.
Fun for Nothing
Edrnton News.
The committee on social trends reported that the
American |>eople spent $10,000,000,000 a year on rec
reations. It didn't count drinking and gambling,
which belong partly in another category, nor reading,
amateur photography, embroidery, and various other
diversions which didn't cost enough to be considered
important.
The recreational outlay has dropped considerably
since the period covered by that report. It if hadn't,
we should now be spending one-fourth of our national
income for fun instead of one-ninth, as we used to.
And yet we still seem to be having fun. Not only the
kids, with their roller skates and marbles, but the
grown-ups. One fo the most remarkable discoveries
of this difficult time is that it's really possible to have
a good time without blowing in a lot of money, when
a fellow suspends his worries for a little while and
looks around for sensible ways to amuse himself.
There are many recreations cheaper than most of us
have been accustomed to, and there are many that
don't cost anything.
Our grandfathers and grandmothers weren't so dull
and dum, after all. They seldom spent much. And
did they have a good time? Just ask them.
Practical Results Are Satisfactory
Hertford County Herald.
Just what does the United States "going off the
"gold standard" mean to the people of the Roanoke-
Chowan section To most of us, that occurrence in
itself means nothing whatever, we guess; for with
the average j>erson it is simply a phrase, the meaning
of which, in its technical operation in the world of
finance and international trade, is as little understood
as the internal workings of the radio that we listen
to daily. But it isn't the mechanics of the things
that most of us are interested in—with gold standards,
off or on, as it is with radios—what we are interested
in its the results we get.
And the practical result to the folks of this section
of "going off the gold standard" has been an immedi
ate advance in two of its principal products, .cotton
and peanuts. We may reasonably expect still further
advances in the prices of these and other commodities
that we produce. The things we have are more valu
able; the dollars we have are less valuable. Where
does that leave us? We have lots of things—pea
nuts, cotton, lands, meat, corn, hay, trees. All of
these things will sell for more dollars now. What cash
money we have of course, is less valuable than it was
since it will buy less of all commodities, the prices
of these having gone up, than it would before; but
we had few dollars, mighty few, in comparison with
the things we own. the cotton, the peanuts, the land,
the forests the corn, meat, and hogs.
So we are certain that "going off the gold stand
ard" has l>een satisfactory to all of the Roanoke-
Chowan, although there are few of us who could ex
plain just exactly what the phrase means technically.
Nof should those few who have money feel any
anxiety as to the safety of their bank deposits, prop
erty, or investments. Going off the gold standard in
the United States or any other country means noth
ing to the average citizen except that prices go up.
This is because the value of the dollar goes down,
but it does not affect currency. A man with SIOO
still has SIOO. The difference is it will buy less than
it did because the value of gold will level itself to
the price of currency in other countries not on the
gold standard. When the man finds prices going up
he will buy. This will make better business and
economic recovery.
And, under these conditions, people will be able
to get jobs, earn money, buy necessities, pay debts,
keep money on deposit in banks; then there will be
no bank failures and investments will again be able
to pay dividends. ~ _ u
