Friday, June 8,1934 Builders of Ideals The objects a child sees and the words he hears have more than half to do in shaping his ideals in life. There are thirty-five million children in the L'nited States that are straining their eyes and pricking their ears from morning till night, and well into the night in too many cases, to see what they can see arid hear. When we consider how little of the good things they see and hear when compared with the less whole some there is little wonder that the youth of today is floundering upon a sea of unrest and uncertainity. In a recent investigation of 500 feature moving pictures produced in 1930, it was learned that crime was the principal theme in 137; war in 44 other, and the themes in 77 others centered upon sex problems, clearly indicating that more than half of the pictures were lessons in crime and carnality. Another author, investigating 115 of our movies, found that 406 separate crimes were committed. In 35 of the pictures, there were 54 murders; in 12 others there were 17 hold-ups and-in 14 there were 21 kid napings. When we have these conditions and the modern magazine publishing shockingly obscene stories and pictures red with crime, we. may expect a generation -of kidnapers anrl'harlnts* What the child sees and hears does make a differ ence in his future conduct, and more wholesome training at home and less frivolty away will do much in determining a safe course for youth. If-children are allowed to go where they want to go, they will soon be going where their parents don't want them to go, and some day all concerned will be sorry. Telling the Truth Iowa publishers have devised the following supple mentary provisions of the code, which we hope Gen eral Johnson will hurry up and approve. Their adop tion will mean millions to us small town publishers: For telling the public that a man is a successful citi zen when everybody knows he is as lazy as a govern ment mule?$2.70. Referring to a deceased citizen as one who is mourned by the entire community when we know that he will only be missed by "the poker circle?$10.13. Referring to some gallivanting scan die monger female as an estimable lady when every business man in town would rather see the devil com ing?$8.10. Sending a hypocritical old reprobate to heaven, when we know that hell is too good for him? $5.00. Referring to deceased merchants as "progres sive citizens," when they never advertised in their lives to help draw trade to town?$1.00.?Gazette, Stillwater, Minn. States' Rights States' rights are almost exactly [parallel with child rights; the child wants all the privileges of getting all he can and giving as little as he can. The same is true with the states. They want to rule themselves and all the subdivisions therein, and no man ever heard of their willingness of accept all gifts and do nations offered by the Federal government. The states like the mail service; they like money for roads and schools and for all other purposes under the sun; yet, they do not like to yield a single thing in return for such gifts and services. When a condition arises a gainst the rights of state, they rare back and claim state rights. Perhaps we would be just as good and jhst as hap py if we would yield more to the general cooperation of the entire country whether it be our own state, or Maine or Texas. England Joins the Rabble For the first time in >11 history refusal to pay hon est debts is hailed as a virtue. Such seems to be the case in all Europe at the present, except in the case of booest little Finland. In ail the nations that participated in the World War, with the possible exception of Great Britain, the virtue was lost years ago, but England could not stomach the Idea of repudiating a debt until this year. She, like a thoughtless sheep, has now jumped the fence, too, and is now basking in the wilderness of measured by all former standards of truth So far as we are concerned, we are of the opinion that k will be the beat thing to give them what they own na; yet we leal assured that they have publicly ?I??? Bank Failures Or No Bank Failures? That was a great meeting of the Republicans as sembled in Chicago this week. They denounced the principles of their own old party, and criticised the mistake) President Roosevelt has made. It was certainly a wise thing to drop their old party principles, under which the country had been sent on the rocks and was pounding on the shores of ob livion. But when it comes to criticizing the Roose velt policies, that is just mean. They know that no wreck such as the Hoover administration left could be cleaned up in so short a time without some few accidents. Then, why should they try to prejudice the people against the deal that has saved tbem from the gluttonous jaws of organized wealth? Folks, don't forget there has not been a bank fail ure in the United States this year. Under the Hoover administration they went down like trees in a tor nado. Concerted Fight on the New Deal The predatory interests of this country are making a concerted drive against the Roosevelt New Deal. The fight includes a campaign on every front; the ur*? criiki :trul kilvnt licmhi rhfSf >r rat tt'tlo atr ttutri iron SC ~ ? oit*p??v ?* i? interests do not want to be seen or heard; they hope to win without awakening the enemy. ?A close survey will Show that llieii policy is tu de stroy the prices of farm products. The average man seems to feel that the government is in position to fix prices on all products, but such is not the case. Only a few basic commodities are embraced in the price-fixing sections of the recovery act. The mon ey-erf interests still have the power to say what bean;, potatoes, strawberries, as well as almost every other kind of food crops shall bring. They are the fellows who have the power to say whether peas sell for $1 or $2 pc rbasket. With fewer strawberries this season than last, and with conditions decidedly better than a year ago, the price has been forced down much lower than it was last year. The same thing applies to cabbage, Iwans, peas, potatoes, and nearly all other crops. Wh?n one chain store organization has the power to say what every potato, bean, strawberry, and other important vegetable in the country shall sell for, and that chain belongs to a bunch of dividend gangsters on Wall Street, who may expect fair play? The only question for us to consider is whether this government shall be run by the people and for the people or if we shall lie down and let the same unholy pilferers take the reins and drive us on down, down, down?as they have done before. Mr. Roosevelt needs to silence the gang that is still fighting us and will finally destroy us if we don't stop listening to their propaganda, dividing our forces and lying down before them. '?w*-* Declining School Attendance It is a sad note that comes from the report on schoorittendance, showing that there was a consid erable drop in attendance last year from the record during the preceding year. This must be caused by one of two things, either of which would be bad enough: First, is it because the spirit of man has been broken by the pressure of poverty; or, second, is it because this generation is selling its birthright for a mess of pottage pleasures? Regardless of what caused the falling off of school attendance, it is a serious backward step. We can not hope to gain any kind of elevation in life if we give up and throw ourselves into life's pleasure stream tu fioat downward and finally land on the shores of sorrow. Now, if the spirit of man has been so depressed that they are not sending their children to schools, then let us pray that they be given understanding so they may know the only way out of his dilemma is through the school. v We need to enforce the attendance laws. The Cheaper Way Out The United States will do well to give our debtor nations their debts rather than keep the mattf "p*" | to quarrel about and they train armies and build uatits u> keep us tiuiu lulltillng ami We train armies and build navies to make them pay us?resulting in a war to see who can whip who?which will perhaps be the final outcome. It will be just about like all other old feuds, end in a killing of some of the parties, their children and grandchildren. The Ears Have It Atimroe Enquirer. The Governor of North Carolina told one recently at a banquet: "A king desirous of going hunting asked his weath er prophet what kind of day it would be. "The day will be fine, Your Majesty," said the weather prophet. Whereupon the king in high glee, set out for the forest. I^ssing a farmer jogging along on a jackass, the King hailed the countryman jovially: "Fine day we are going to have," said the King. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty," replied the farmer, "but it is going to rain before night." And it did rain. The heavens opened up that afternoon, and the King, soaked, cold, and disgruntled, returned to his castle and fired his weather prophet. Then the king sent for the farmer. "I shall make him my weather prophet," declared the king. But before conferring the proper degree on the farmer, the king asked: "Tell me, my good man, how did you know it was going to rain?" "By my jackass," replied the farmer, "When his ears stand up, I know the day will be bright; when his ears flop, I know we shall have rain." "Aha!" exclaimed the king, "Then I shall appoint the jackass my weather prophet." He did so. And from that day to this, jackasses have held public of fices. wanes i North Carolina.
