Friday, December 29, 1933 Do JVot Trust Beelzebub to Cast Out Devils In a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post ap peared a very learned editorial by George Horace Lori nier, which is apparently a general criticism of the two President Roosevelts —T. R. and Franklin D. — but which is, in fact, nothing more than a stab at the present President. Applying the old rule of inquiry as to why the dog hollers— which always show that it has been struck — wt find that Mr. Lorimer's three publications, the Saturday Evening Post, the Ladies' Home Journal, and the Country Gentleman, profited to the tune of $3,000,000 a year in postal favors alone under Re publican rule, which amount was one-thirtieth of the total of $90,000,000 lost last year by the Post Office Department. You can see a reason why a calf bleats when he is pulled from the teat, and evidently the editor of the Post is finding too much dmocracy in Mr. Roosevelt's program and fears that the friendly bonuses and privi leges he has enjoyed will be withdrawn. - i " The editor of the Post did not raise any howl until the coming of the New Deal. He did not criticise Theodore Roosevelt, Mr. Harding, Mr. Taft, Mr. Coolidge, nor Mr. Hoover. Now he goes into a fit for a new party, which, as advocated by him, would carry no other purpose than to destroy the first blem ish of fair play to all men and all classes that we have had for ages. He criticizes every principle that has brought us what relief we have enjoyed. He states that our debtor countries are paying us with our own depre ciated dollars —a statement that is false in every premise. He ought to know that France—the coun try that owes us most —is very wroth because we have inflated our currency by going off the gold standard and thereby have the advantage over her in our trade relations, and that France has not paid us a penny in either interest or principal since the abolition of the American gold standard. Another thing he might have mentioned is that our going off the gold standard and inflating our mone tary system has eabled millions of men to pay hack taxes for two, three, four, and five years, which his boasted deflation had crushed down upon them. It has also given the American people the happiest Christmas they have enjoyed for a decade. Th charge that the Roosevelt New Deal has kin dled the mob spirit in men is false in every particu lar, for it is generally known that 119,000,000 people are "for" the New Deal and not more than 1,000,000 against it. Mr. Lorimer complains that it works to the ad vantage of one class as against another class. In that he is entirely right because it really has increased the values and incoms of the common run of citiiens by about one hundred billions of dollars, and that is the class which does the work and does the fighting when war comes; in fact, that is the class which has given the United States its good name. Yet the editor of the Post prefers before them that class of people which has sent agents throughout the world to buy up the natural resources of the weak and ignorant people, who were leas informed, and which is the class that has been and now is the cause and the foundation of practically every international disturbance in which we are involved. Capital is complaining now because President Rooae velt has pulled its fangs out of the flesh of humanity. We hardly think we need a new party, since democ racy has entered the heart of the Democratic party and a good majority of the Republican party, too. Misleading Catch Phrases News tad Observer Catch phrases are apt to catch the eye ol the pub lic without the public exactly understanding mean. A few years ago the term "adequate navy" was all the go, but nobody could exactly explain what unite constituted an "adequate navy." /Joday "sound itmmy" is the catch-phrase by which advocates of the old single gold standard hope to prevent any inia tion. What ie "sound money"? Who can say? Car- H tainly no nway is sound which requires creditors to pay three bale* of cotton when one tele would tew Equals in Our National Democracy Nineteen hundred and thirty-three may have brought us some misfortunes and soine sadness of heart because the path oft leads through the lands of sorrow. On the other hand we feel that few pages in American history will glow and shine more brightly in coming ages than the events of this good year. They will not stand out because of a super abundance of heavenly blessings for the elements have only brought forth their normal yield of fruits in their sesaon. Our history of which we should ourselves point to with pride and which will mean so much to future generations and for which they will rejoice and glorify us is the achievements we ourselves have wrought. For the first time in more than a century and a half we can be looked upon as equals in our national de mocracy. For 75 years we had lord apd slave; and for the past 75 years we had capitalist and labor. And for the first time since the battle of Bunker Hill have we had Democracy. While a complete revolution of business was necessary to bring it to all equally, it has already saved big business from decay wlych had set in and became topheavy from its corruption. But the change has meant far more; it has also brought the freezing and famished poor to a higher plain and established them in a brighter realm of life, instilling into their very souls a brighter hdpe, an encouraging outlook and a greater confidence in the world of things. It has relieved the pressure of the crown of thorns which has borne so heavily upon the brow of the working man. It shows the fruits of our great educational system and is a fulfillment of the preach ing of Peace on Earth and Good Will to Men. Now, let us rejoice at the revolution in our own government which has transformed nation from a land of private monopoly to a nation of true democr acy. Not Likely To Be Tam Bowie So far as we know, Eastern North Carolina is not calling Tam Bowie to the governor's chair in 1936. There are a few things the people do not like about Tam. One is that he is always blowing his own horn. We all remember about that $7,000,000 railroad he tried to get the state to build for the benefit of his own county. On the other hand, the people seem to be willing to overlook some s) f his faults. While they know he wants everything, he is generally willing to take any thing he can get. He wanted to be United States Senator. When he could not get that, be was glad to go to the lower house of the state legislature. Now that he wants to be governor, we are sure that if he misses it—which he probably will—he will be glad to take anything else offered. System Is Wrong Our system of awarding offices to the faithful sup porters of a winning political ticket is altogether wrong. As it now is, our lawmakers do the choosing of every officer who gets an administration appointment. Hence our lawmakers have no time for anything fur ther than to pick tjie strongest men to help them get their jobs back. So about all we get is lawmakers and appointive officers whose biggest interest is to get and keep the offices they have or aspire to. When Congress meets in January, most Congress men will be so ignorant of the condition and needs of the people that about all they will be able to do is to follow some leader around just as if they had a ring in the nose. We need a law forbidding any Congressman or Senator to sign or recommend the appointment of any person for appointment for public office. Then they would be able to give their time and thought to the business for which they are elected. Brookings Institute Barking Again Now that Brookings Institute js barking again— this time they are after President Roosevelt. So far as we are able to understand, President Roosevelt is working for fair play and equal justice to all people. But we rather think the Brookings In stitute is an organisation set up by a few people of great wealth for the purpose of helping them run the government. They believe in consolidation of all the business of the country and its subdivisions in order that one great head can sit on the financial throne, crack the lash ad make the millions jump the rope while they suck the lifeblood from the naked and hungry millions. They have been down in our state to tell we North Carolinians how to run our business. Knowing the Brookings Institute only slightly, how ever, we are not surprised to find them opposing Mr. Roosevelt's gold policy, because it certainly is against the policies of the dominating wealth and for the peo ple at large, and we think the Brookings Institute is on the other aide, with wealth, which wants a gold dol lar to be wor# as much as a mule and 40 acres. Here is for the President and against Brookings. Polities Enters Business p We notice by the papers that our former Gover nor, Angus W. McLean, has been given legal charge over six busted banks in Washington. He ought to know how to handle them without any . difficulty, since hiaaNorth Carolina Baak and Trust Company busted right square in his face. It is a pity that we are having so much politics in our banking system, especially in the matter of liqui dating our dosed banks, and the saddest thing about it is that so much politics has to enter into all busi- THE ENTERPRISE NOTICE OP SALE Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in that certain deed | of trust executed to the undersigned substituted Trustee by T.
