This is all further testimony that Roosevelt is not ruining the country. The moral is: Stick to the Roosevelt administra tion and do not listen to Morgan propaganda. Two Forward Steps Williamston has recently taken two forward steps which will mean much for the good of those partici pating and the people generally. One is the formation of a band, with about 40 boys participating; the other is the reorganization of the Boy Scouts, with 60 boys as members. Few things thrill man and beast more than a brass band. It seems to bring out and develop the best in people. And Boy Scouting goes a long way toward making good men out of boys. The boy that becomes a Scout at the proper age and goes on through the cope with the world in.cotSpartson wtthAe hboy who misses such wholesome training. Every person in the town should give every en couragement anil render every assistance possible both to the band and to the Scout work. There are a few boys unable to buy Scout uniforms and books, and also a few boys who are unable to buy band instruments who are very anxious to be with the other boys. It is easy to start them on the upper road by helping them, and it may be the turn ing point in his life. Any person who is able has a fine opportunity to help some boy to enter the band and join the Ccouts. Giving People What They Want Shall we give (he people what they want? It seems to be the accepted order of things these days to ap pesae the clamor and wishes of the |>eople, big, little, old, and young. Vet there is serious doubt if it is best to give the people all they want or what they want. Sometimes bad medicine does us the most good, and too often the things we want do us the greatest harm. The newspapers and magazines try to please the people with comics, disgraceful pictures, and shady stories. The theaters run Mae West because she draws more people than "Little Women." The the ater gets more people than the prayer service. In fact, people have chosen what "they want so long That practically everything we want is pleasure at any cost. So far as we are able to see, the only way this un fortunate condition can be adjusted is by drowning our desires for pleasure in the tears of sinful sorrow. Most of the failures?both of men and nations?have been made so by seasohs of idle pleasures. Opposing the Farmers The National Association of Manufacturers doesn't like the idea of farmer organizations. They know what it means. They have stripped the farmers one by one for so long that it is just fun for them. The case is very similar to that of the huntsmen who catch bear. Tbey always go to the den and grab the young bear while the mother is away. They know that when the family organizes and the mama bear sleeps on one side of the little cub and daddy bear is sleeping on the other side that the organization is too strong to be invaded lightly. The wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco and other maou facturers and boytrs of farm products know that whan the producers of this country get in line, the oppor tunity to snatch their goods from them passes. For that reason they oppose the government helping the farmers to organize. Mistaken or Lying Those folks who claim the NRA, the FERA, and the whole Roosevelt New Deal is ruining the country are shown to be either mistaken or purposely lying, according to reports from Dunn and Bradstreet, from banks, from motor manufacturer, and from the sur veys made by the United States Department of Com merce, which show a gain of from IS to 50 per cedt in almost all of the leading commodities during the year horn March, IMS, to March, 1934. Japan the Danger Point Did the sailing of 100 of Uncle Sam's warships from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic waters cause Japan to bristle with impudence? If that is the cause, then the ships should be ordered back to the west coast to watch Japan. There can be no mistake about the Japanese policy of seeking to make the yellow race domlnators of the world awl when China is put under her dominion and militarized, no power on earth will be able to cope with her. # The matter at issue now is whether the culture and civilization of the white or the yellow race shall fin ally be the governing basis of the kingdoms of the earth. The nations that prefer the Christian way will do well to stand together, or the yellow race and their religion will dominate the human family. Japan is the only danger point on the world politi cal horizon today. To Make Taxes Impartial As Well As Certain Hertford County Herald. It ts tax listing time again. The law commands that all owners of property, real and personal, appear in person before the list-taker's and give an accounilHJU trf aH that they own. ft requires also that all males between the ages of 21 and SO, whether they be prop erty owners or not, appear before the listers to give in polls to be taxed. The law requires that each individ ual give oath as to the verity of his accounting for his property and sign the list of it with his name. This business of tax listing, upon which tax gather ing depends, is supposed to be as certain as death, and as impartial. And, if taxes are to be levied and collected fairly, and equitably, everything depends upon the complete ness of the listing, upon getting the taxable property on the books; upon how well and honestly the citi zens discharge their obligation to give in any and all of the property that is theirs. If the listing is incom plete or inaccurate, if the tax listers fail to do their work correctly, or some property is allowed to escape the books, or too low or too high values are placed against some property, in the same proportion exactly will the levy and collection of the taxes be unfair and inequitable. It is at Just this point, tax listing, that the greatest injustices, discriminations, and in equalities get into our tax system. And it is at this point, too, that many are willing to doge, evade, and falsify in order to escape taxation; they forget appar ently that what they save to themselves by their com promise with honesty, some one else must pay, and that this form of dishonesty is as reprehensible as any form of-dishonest gain, stealing not barred.? ? ? *^Ws, therefore, important that the work of listing axes be thoroughly, completely, accurately, and hon ?stly done. The law that compels property owners to appear before the list takers to give a complete rec jrd of their property should be enforced strictly. The penalties for falsification and failure to comply with the law should be exacted fully. Taxes must be levied and collected in order that i government, under which a citizen may own and 'njoy the use of property, can be maintained. They hould be levied fairly and equally; and this can be lone only as the property of all citizens is listed fairly ind accurately. Let the county commissioners, the list-takers and he tax supervisor strive their utmost that this be done, f they want the collection of taxes to be impartial, is well as certain. The Smith Standard jreensboro Daily News. Taps were sounded yesterday for General VV- A. imixh, commander of the North Carolina department, Jnited Confederate Veterans, who died Monday at he age of 92; one of the lads who had shouldered a ;un?19 he was at the time?in 1861 and left off an 'duration to fight for what developed into a lost ause. As one of its warriors, as one of the final sur ?ivors in the all but depleted ranks, as one of the re-. jeneral Smith's grave today the reverence, the esteem .nd the affection of his fellow citizens and of |}is state. With all honor to the soldier dead, there stand out n the picture of his career fighting qualities which arried beyond the field of battle into the struggle of ife with all the rigors and handicaps which character ted the reconstruction period. Young Smith was wounded, seriously wounded, at >lalvern Hill in the second year of the war. For six uonths he hovered between life and death, but life riumphed and he returned to the serious business of rbuilding in the post-war days. His education had teen cut short, his family fortune had been swept way, and war had left its ravages upon his body, fet, entering mercantile business, he fbught success utly onward, despite the multiplicity of handicaps, o develop a watersite, to organize cotton mills, and, inally in 1887 to retire to his 1,500-acre plantation nd engage in modern farming. Here was one of those veterans?how many of them he south had?who knew nothing of bonuses, of hos litalization, of war risk insurance, of the mounting enefits which governments have subsequently been ailed upon to pay to the fighting men. The pros rate south got around to miserly remittances through he states to veterans and their widows; but they 'ere a mere pittance in the aggregate when compared rith one federal appropriation of the present day. leneral Smith and thousands like him showed what ?uld be done without government bounty or treasury lids. The cause which they served was lost and the ites which loved to honor them were warm in heart ut poor in exchequer. Their successful battles a ainst adversities which have known no equal writje, ) the light of present veterans' lobbying, their own anunentaries. Times have changed, conditions have changed. By ie Smith standard?and Smith is truly a representa ve name?so have the veterans. THE LETTER-BOX ARE YOU DISCOURAGED? All of us, more or less, are spotted with fgotism and some of tat ere more, but most folks ere not blessed (or cursed) with enough to lift them over ell the depressed spots in life. We sometimes sec, but more often hear, of the "great things" others are ore up with them we feel like quitting. There are very few five-talented peo ple but even some of these are e hin der rather than a help. It is not the success or the failure of these few and-far-between folks that is causing the alarm but the failure of the one talented fellow. Most of us are in this class, but, remember, God only requires a feir return on what he has endowed us with. The proverbial "on ly oyster" or the "only pebble on the beach" has never received much praise for being there, for it isn't what "I" have done but what ''we" have done that really counts. The ques tion is: Have 1 been faithful with the | little entrusted to my care? Maybe havp not hpard vour horn tooting/ or if we did maybe yon wrrr footing it yourself. Anyway, remember this, ii i nn hairr gnmpthing tn toot ahnntr it is best to let others do your foot er. So there is a place for every one in this great drama of life, and if you fail then the play will be marred. "It isn't how much you do but how well it is done that counts." To fail to do your bit in making the world a better place will be as a stone around your neck and cause much unhappiness. Make an honest effort, you can not afford to do less. C. T. ROGERS.
