Friday, December 8, 1933 j No Compromise That thing we call liquor is still a troublesome mat ter. We have had one general national law attempt ing to govern it. Now we are going to have 48 laws to govern it. and riot one of them will be a sgood, nor as easily enforced, as the one Federal law just re cently repealed. , There will be thousands of laws suggested and hun dreds passed to try to govern alcohol not one of which will be even half way enforced; and every one of them will be passed for the purpose of giving some greedy interests an opportunity to make money. No law' will be passed at the request of drinkers for the pur|K)se of getting drink —all of them will be at the instigation of the fe'low who wants to sell the drink No man can compromise with the devil and come out even Buy Christmas Seals A penny for a Christmas seal means just a little help for some |»erson who will die from tuberculosis unless somebody helps him Although we may have* bought a dime's worth of seals last year, that is no reason why we should not buy a dollars worth this year, because our oppor tunities for service are growing every day; and we should give because it is an opportunity to help and not an obligation. Buy Christmas seals again, and let your service ex tend to those who are in need. Huey's Enemies There is great doubt in our mind as to whether Huey Long is as mean and common as some people say he is. First, it is a noticeable fact that the same folks who are after Huey Long are secretly trying to knife the program of President Roosevelt. It is also an admit ted fact that for 40 years there has l>een a wing of the Louisiana democracy that was more intolerable than New England radicalism. It is also true that Huey Long cast more votes with the Presidential pro gram last spring than both Senators Bailey and Rey nolds combined It is also an evident fact that somebody is seeking as many Senators as possible who will fight, in the next sess'on of Congress, the President in his efforts and plans to g've the little man—or underdog, as it were—a fair showing in government. So, after all, we are not so sure but that we ought to love Huey Long for the enemies he has made— o, d>ubtless. are not as good as he. Food Prices To the Consumer It would be interesting to know much the con sumer pays for getting his food moved from the fields to h!s table. The cost must be enormous. lhue -ire ihe transportation charges; the tin cans and large amounts of wrapping paper, not to even mentioned the market operators. The paper keeps the food clean and adds to the appearance of the con tainer. That is well and good, but the eater is paying dear for his food when he could raise most of his own food and make unnecessary such added costs. We l«yy beans from Bostdn, beef from Kansas, butter .ron. M nnesota and Wisconsin when we could pro duce all those products and others, too, right here at home. Farmers Should Sign \rGreenvilU News-Leader When the acreage reduction contracts are ready to be signed, we hope our farmers will sign is speedily as they did when the Governor proclaimed a holiday for that purpose. It is all the more necessary now if our fanners expect to get a parity price for their to bacco in 1934. The government has shown by the prices now being paid that it wants to help the far mer in the South, but unless the farmer does his part, he can't expect to reap much benefit. So it is our ad vice to all tobacco farmers to sign the acreage reduc tion contracts just as aoon as they are presented. Quite a Contrast Colonel W. F. Ax ton, president of the Axton-Fisber Tobacco Company, manufacturers of a cheap brand of cigarettes, has shown a manly spirit in two way»: First, by refusing to have his salary raised as the head of his company, saying that he wanted to tell his corn er, v that in 1931 the tobacco industry earned a net pi fit of $148,000,000, and it paid the farmers only $69 000,000 for its raw material. There is no won de 'v iih that kind of blows, that we have a deprev sion in this'country. And then again he says his com pany is going to absorb the processing tax and not pass it on to the consumers. He states that rigid econ omy will be the watchword of his company. That is quite a contra*! to what the heads of some other domestic tobacco companies have prat ced— when they gobbled up m:!l ons .n lj-.L.-C-' bonuses that should have gone to others. War and Lynching There have been lots oi talk and a little action late ly about lynching laws, great preparation for war that is being advanced by undercurrent thoughts and be liefs. These subjects of lynching and war present no phase for discussion as to which is the best; they are both bad, and the argument must center around the fact as to which is the worst. Lynching is an act of brutality, an act performed by people, who, in their madness, fail to think. They act without due consideration, under great stress and impulse, and usually they are hasty in forgetting the laws of justice. However, under the process of law, the same acts are committed with some consider ation, and usually when we are sober and duly thoughtful, working under a code of laws made by a majority of the people. Some times trials under the code of legal procedure may miss the legal mark by a wide margin and even the most guilty escape the penalties prescribed for criminals. They evade con vicition because of some falsehood or prejudice that may enter into the trial. Lynching is only resorted to in extreme cases, cases which come to be so unbearable to man that he goes back to the old laws of nature to avenge the wrong, forgetting that human society has provided in its gov ernmental system a more humane way of handling violators of law. The same condition applies in cases when one man wrecks the home of another, even at the consent of his wife. He shoots down the villian of destruction without a word of caution and is saved by the "un written law", which is not only upheld by public sen timent but also by the courts and juries. And, too, the law of self-defense is so broad in its application that one man may shoot down another and get an acquittal in the courts through a defense plea, a plea that has become so popular that duels are actually encouraged. When we come to war we have history as old as murder. It is the killing and the destroying of other people on a national scale. The main purpose of war may be described under two heads; one is the taking of other people's property, and the other is to take another's property to keep some one else from getting it. The ancient wars were waged often to procure for one king the fairest women of another kingdom. Then for centuries it was for fertile valleys that war was waged. Later on wars were fought for mines and hunting grounds.. Now we are looking principally for trade opportunities. Our wars are planned with out any thought for the masses who have to do the fighting and suffering. These modern-day combats are deliberated by those who want war for the spoils they hope to gain. So far the war lords have manag ed to instill the same spirit into the minds of the peo ple that are there when they enter a lynching party. They go out to kill and destroy in a small way, and that's called lynching; they go out to kill on a large scale, and that's called war. The lynchnig party goes deliberately for a single party who has committed some hineous crime against human virtue, while the man who goes to war to spill innocent blood because he has been influenced by the same spirit that leads to lynching. Yet, he does not know why he wants to kill, or why he is out to kill. In our war of the rebellion, we though we were per forming an act of honor, when, as a matter of fact, the masses were fighting and being slaughtered in an effort to preserve the right to perpetuate human slav ery. And now as we walk back over the battlefields of the that great conflict and think soberly and sen sibly, we are bound to conclude that we have never made a greater mistake in our entire history.. More men were slaughtered in one day than have been lynched in all of our history. And when we definitely analyse the case, we find that wars are for the purpose of pillage on the one side And then when we think about the causes for lynch- ings are always or nearly always for punishing a wrong-doer, we are unable to see very much difference in the crime of lynching and the crime of war. Both need to be banished from the code of civilisation. or the other; and too often on both sides. It seems to us that the governor of California acted unwisely when he all but sanctioned the lynching of two young white men who had kidnaped and killed another young white man. Yet, it is hard to picture Mr. Rolph as a bigger ass than the governor of Mary- followed in arresting four men the court found no reason for holding. As horrible as they may be, lynchings will certainly break out occasionally as long as certain crimes are committed. The thing for the world to do is hold up the two pictures, Lynching and War, and then the two will cease. THE ENTERPRISE! North Carolina, ln Martin County. Superior Court. Before the Clerk. J. S.
