Protect Us, Mr. President
Our present money system is rooted in a law passed
under the leadership of John Sherman, coached by an
English judge, sixty years ago. That was in a day
when this country was poor and it worked well to the
advantage of the British government for a number of
years. In fact, it was really British diplomacy for
British plunder that gave us the law. Things went
smoothly for years and the American people knew
nothing whatever about the leach that was gradually
sucking them, because the Britishers did not suck
very hard. They drew gently because they are diplo
mats and not despots. ' But when a certain class of
our Americans grasped the situation they kicked the
Britishers out and Ix-gan at once to swallow up the
American people and their institutions, consolidating
and taking over to themselves all jwwer and leaving
'the average man without a chance. I'hey had the
power to name the price of everything the little man
had, and they exercised complete control.
No such graft and greed have ever been known in
all the history of man as that practiced by our own
American people at the expense of the massed Re
cent investigations of big leaders and dominating in
stitutions have uncovered the greatest schemes in all
history.
Mr. Roosevelt, protect and defend us from
that unholy, «reedy Rang.
Cause of Untold Damage
The defective flue and the'rotten shingle roof cause
the loss of many millions of dollars every year. If
every householder would examine the brick on edge
flues and see if the bottom of the flue has settled down
and left a crack and then repair them he will have
safeguarded his property. And to add greater safety
the owner could place tin on his roof if not all over
then on thai part where sparks are likely to fall.
Minor safeguards would save hundred of millions
of dollars to property owners and the lives of many.
Now is a good time to look after such things when
we have to have hot fires and many sparks are flying.

Liquor Business Is Like a Pole Cat
The Norfolk Ledger, a generally acknowledged wet
journal, is apparently disturbed because there is a
danger of getting wet people at the head of the liquor
administration in Virginia. The paper, no doubt, be
lieves that if such people are permitted to pass liquor
and be charged wit the enforcement that the
liberties of the liquor folks in that good'bid common
wealth will be greatly extended and the liberties of
thore who need protection will be greatly curtailed.
Of c jurse if that paper looks long and carefully, it
will find there has never been a good liquor hw pass
ed by any nation or state. All those that have been
passed, giving alcohol any privileges, have been noth
ing more than partnerships with Satan. The paper
will find that liquor manufacturers and dealers as a
class never obey any law they make themselves.
The liquor business is like a poll cat —it always
leaves its smell whereever it goes, and no law can
change the odor.
It may be that some [>eople are mistaken in the kind
ol prosperity Mr. Roosevelt proposes to give us. Some
may think that his purpose is to set them on flowery
beds of ease and plenty, furnish them a house and a
home, plenty of food and a pot and kettle to cook
it in, doctor them when they are sick and by no means
have them work for ia living. Now, to all those who
entertain such thoughts, it will be wise to change their
thoughts, buckle on the harness of initiative and in
crease their work. They will find it to their own good
to stop throwing what they earn to the four winds,
and then expect their stomachs to be filled by public
charity all the days of their lives.
All Mr. Roosevelt proposes to do is rescue the
country from drowsing, resuscitate the people. After
they are firmly fixed on their feet, they are eexpected
to go on their way and earn their own bread.
We trust that things, now coming so easily to many,
will not cause the people to lie down and stop trying.
There are many lessons for the American people to
learn and one is to depend upon themselves and not
try to crawl into another fellow's nest. They should
make a nest for themselves from the materials at hand.
Of all Americans who would like to see President
Roosevelt's program fail there is none, in our opinion,
more anxious than A 1 Smith, perhaps the most arro
gant and jealous Democrat in the United States.
Mr. I'resident, it is apparently advisable to look
out for him. He is subject to knife you and your
policies at any hour of the day or night. Nothing is
done to suit him. He is aman that has not yet come
to his senses. He still wants to be president.
There is one thing we dislike, and that is the con
flicting reports about tobacco sales. It is too fre
quent that we see such and such a market average
was so and so, and lo when the sworn reports come
out at the end of the month, the figures are about 25
percent lower.
It is time to require sales reporters to tell the truth
about market activities. Of course the only way that
the market average can be had is through sales man
agers or some company which is supposed to be fur
nished by each warehouse daily the number of pounds
sold and the price received. When the figures are
falsified, it is no less thas pure fraud, because it is
done generally in the hope to draw tobacco to the
particular markets making such reports.

I THE LETTER-BOX

' To the Editor:
| I understand that within two or
' three months the Federal govern
ment will distribute approximately
$65,000 in Martin County for public
j improvements.
| I want to suggest that tlie one mile
'of bad road between Williamston and
the Conoho farm be looked after.
It seems to me the most practical
way to improve the road is to have
a wide open way at least 60 feet, so
the sun can pour down its rays of
■ light and heat and dry the golden mud
out. or dig a or big ditch about
50 feet from the river would help to
i keep the road bed dry.
! I believe this improvement should
ibe made. i"The Conoho is a great
farm, it is about three miles long and
from a half to a mile wide. No bet
ter farm land soil in the county, lo
cated between two great swatnps, fac
ing the Roanoke River, and it is a
hunters' paradise, where you can hear
the wild cats squall, foxes liark and
the owls hoot at night, and hear the
wild turkeys, squirrels chatter and
often see three or four deer at a time
grazing with the cattle in the day
time.
In making public improvements
don't forget Conoho, Canoho.

PICTURE in your mind a tiny snow-bound settlement of
rugged Puritans on the first Thanksgiving Day, in the No
vember of 1621. Picture their rejoicings and their prayers of
gratefulness to God for His mercies and kindnesses during a
long, hard struggle for mere existence. They had much to be
thankful for.
Surely, if they could make merry, we folks of today ought to
be celebrating the event this year as it was never celebrated
before. We have every reason for it .. . with the nation pulling
out of history's worst depression and happier days ahead for
everybody. ' ,

ticularly to those whom we serve.
