The Congressmen and Senators who come up for reelection this year with conventional opposition are the most polite folks in America when their constitu ents come to town Those without opposition are not quite so polite. Who is really doing the work in Washington? Over in the Executive department, we find the work going on. When President Roosevelt took hold a year ago he found the worst wrecked government in the world, more broken banks in this one country than in all the rest of the world, besides more hunger than in ail the balance of the world combined, even though they had war. The wrecked government had come about because of the money-grabbing machine-making few, who had taken charge of practically every function of government. So it was up to Mr. Roosevelt save the banking situation and to rescue the business of the country from ruin, as well as to save millions from starvation?and it all had to be done immediately, with yery Tittle time for planning or mapping out progranir * ;? ? Who can sa^ that the-President-has not labored? well? Nobody but the few whose profits have been greatly reduced and the difference passed over to the masses. v When President Roosevelt was confronted with this terrible national wreck, he needed diagnosticians to find the true condition of the nation. He soon found that he also needed specialists of various sorts, and capable doctors, good machinists and mechanics to find the trouble and count the cost. They found the first task was to set the banks to functioning and give them credence in the minds of the people. The next big job was to feed and clothe the hungry and naked, a task that no civilized people would dodge. The next thing was and is the setting up of new opportunities for men to earn their food rather than to wait-far factories to start and give them their jobs back, which time will never come for many. The question of permanent relief is the biggest of all questions confronting the government today, and the one which is being studied by every departmental branch in Washington. It is being -studied and anal yzed from the observations and experiences of every state, county, and township unit now in existence", and while the public may not understand just what is going on, the fact is that never a day in history has found any people more diligently seeking to do the right for the jieople than our own government in Washington, which is radiating out through the states and counties and doing their utmost to help human made, and some unjust and unworthy people have "soaked" the government; yet, in comparison, they never have and never will be the enemies to the gov ernment as some that so many people in the past have worshipped as the benefactors and safe guardians of our government. * Let us proceed along the present lines, and never return to the reins of Mellon, Morgan, Mills, and Meyer. Visionary Campaigning New York World-Telegram In place of the Ananias Club of bygone fame, it might be useful to institute an Ezekiel Club for the benefit of Dr. William A. Wirt, of Gary, Ind. Eaekiel, one learns in the Scripture, was one of the most prolific seers of visions that every opened an eye. There were few sights that he didn't see in one vision or another. Dr. Wirt suffered a belated titillation from hearing that President Roosevelt was a Kerensky, and to that he added a warning that the brain trust intended to sabotage the new deal to make war for an impending Stalin. This information, under examination, seems to take on increasingly the shadow and glimmering texture of a vision. Six leading brain trusts said boldly yester day that the voices Dr. Wirt hard were not theirs. They didn't even know him. The charges he made, they said, were a revelation to them. The Ezekiel Club also might make a place for James H. Rand, jr., who gave Dr. Wirt's findings to the public. His faith appears secondary only to the original discoverer's. One observation should be added in fairness to the Eaekiel dub. Their statements patently wen not as anti-administration political campaign For the first requirement of political prope ls that It shall have reasonable credibility. Golden Opportunities All geaanitons Of peofrie have their golden oppoi ies. The peetent generation perhaps hat more than any other for many centuries. First of all, we have more opportunities to do char itable work, because the need is greater than ever. Second, wc have great opportunities in working in be half of Christianity. Unfortunately, amid our great war and consequent great wealth, when we were all glorious winners in honors and in some measure of riches, we forgot God and struck out for ourselves. Now that we find ourselves lost, destitute, and lonely, we are looking for somehting more safe and satisfy ing than temporal pleasures. Therefore, we are in a mind and have a sincere desire to turn from the follies to the realities in life. This spirit has recently shown itself in William ston, where more people have attended and taken part in religious services than they have in a long, long time. The attendance has been no more gratifying than the spirit which has been manifested. There has been no criticism, no selfish undertones to disturb the cooperative spiritual feasts. God's program is evidently much headway. Two Things To Know Wt arc anxious to know two tilings?the first i just how many North Carolina Democrats are sorry they voted for Josiah W. Bailey for United States Senator against F. M. Simmons; the other thing we would like to know is how many North Carolinians are ashamed of voting for Bailey. It has never been our opinion that Senator Bailey was as much interested in the people as he was in himself. He seems to take the attitude that Judas was right in his betrayal of Jesus and seems to want to treat President Roosevelt likewise. Voters, beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. You will probably be forgiven for voting for him once, but be careful not to repeat. Things To Remedy Williamston has two things that are?evidently pleas ing to some people. One is the low-swinging awn ings, which so frequently knock off the hats of ladies and gentlemen to the amusement of an unthinking and discourteous rabble. The other is that lot be tween the Watts Theatre and Culpeppers. The ducks quack and the frogs sing their doleful tunes and play every time it rains. It will not cost so much to rem edy these eyesores and troubles. Why not do it? The Danger Scu's and Observer. , _ Sefiafor Bttinett Gfiftrtp Clark "put his finger pre cisely on the danger wtqfb lies in the spending of vast sums for armaments when he declared that "when everybody is armed a slight misunderstanding or triv ial disagreement can very easily precipitate war." Murders are committed by armed men, and wars are the quick results of armed nations. The nation which prepares for war generally gets it. Another Thing To Think About Hertford County Herald. A new co-operative association for farmers, state wide in scope and covering the whole range of agri cultural commerce, has been orgaAized. At its head is M. G. Mann, the same Mann who has been large ly instrumental in making the cotton association the one outstanding and successful co-operative in the State. The new organization has the endorsement and active support of leaders in the fields of agricul ture, economics, and education ia North Carolina. It contemplates co-operative purchase of fertilizers, farm equipment and supplies, farm finance, and mar keting co-operatively of all manner of farm products. It is to be a sort of super-cooperative, one that will combine and make more effective the many local far mers' exchanges and mutual associations. It expects to be especially beneficial in aiding farmers to market their surpluses of the less" common crops, such as livestock, poultry, truit, vegetable* and the like. This newspaper, always committed to the principal of co operative action among farmers and a firm believer in its effectiveness when rightly applied to secure to the farmer benefits that cannot be secured by independ ent action, wishes the new cooperative well, and be lieves that farmers locally would do well to investi gate the usefulness that may come to them through use of its facilities. If I Were a Negro W. O. Saunders in Elizabeth City Independent. Has the Negro a right to demand service in the public restaurants in the U. S. Capitol in Washing ton? Undoubtedly he has. Theoretically the U. S. government makes no racial distinctions, color hav ing no bearing on citizenship. But we have with us certain unwritten laws that are stronger than our print ed statutes. The majority decrees and enforces these laws. Here in these United States an aminous ma jority of white citizens has decreed that the dark skinned minority shall not be entertained in first-class hotels and restaurants patronized by the white race. The fact that the majority is un-Christian, unchari table. and without legal or moral support for the posi tion it takes does not alter the existing fact. The re sultant situation is that colored persons who stand upon their rights and insist upon thrusting themselves into places where they are not wanted, accomplish little in the way of establishing their freedom in such matters and do much racial harm by keeping the racial issue very much alive. It seems to me that the Ne gro who persists in intruding himself into company in which he is not welcome does so at a painful sac rifice of his self-respect. If I ware a self-respecting Negro I wouldn't give any domineering Nordic on earth an opportunity to insult me by refusing me a seat at his table.
