Friday, October 26, 1934 Revising Our Automobile Laws The next legislature of North Carolina >huuld make some sweeping amendments to the automobile laws. Without attempting to make many suggestions, we would like especially to recommend requiring every driver of a car to first have a license issued by the state. A second suggestion would be more severe punish ment for drunken drivers. There is no greater enemy to humiln society than a drunken man at the wheel of an automobile. The man who drinks but lightly is even dangerous driving; and prison accommoda tion is the best thing to do with such drivers, rather than a "round-the-corner' settlement and hush up everything unless two or three people are killed. Interest vs. War The Cnited States will not lie destroyed by war dur ing the coming century, yet it may be destroyed by interest even sooner than a hundred years. Running a big war profljjm only adds to the inter act ?t. nlr??fty ..uuf- Why not stop war, and then we will be in a position to stop interest ? When we look around and find that almost all Of our public national debt has been caused directly or indirectly Irom wars of the past and prospective future wars, we have at ?least some of the bitter task of war. Interest is even more cruel than war; it takes lives by degrees, subjecting its victims to a slow process of hunger, cold, and disease while war is a fierce tempest that soon sweeps by and the earth drinks up the blood. ? The Old Order Changeth, Mr. Haynes Oh, yes; Mr. Bob Haynes, the man who wants the president to relinquish his financial plans to the bin bankers, is the same said fellow who has had so much to do with the taxing of the poor heavily and the rich lightly?comparatively speaking, of course?in our own state. We presume that Mr. Haynes, who-in his criticism of President Roosevelt, would have us go back to Mr. Hoover s plan of finance, which was nothing more nor less thin to allow ivir. Haynes and his kind, i111 ]ud ing the Mills, Mellons, and Morgans, to handle all the affairs of the government. Yes; Mr. Haynes is of the type that seems to think the rich are entitled to credit, while a kick is plenty good enough for the poor. You see, Mr. Roosevelt has helped the poor by lending hundreds of thousands of farmers the money to enable them to plant, culti vate, and harvest, which has halted the plundering methods of organized wealth. He has helped the crowd that would have starved to death if they had been forced to wait for Mr. Haynes, Mr. Morgan, and Mr. Melon to help them the fellows who have lashed and threshed the profits out of the producers of this country. Now they have grown so selfish and impu dent that they rise up to smite President Roosevelt because he has pulled their snouts out of the streams of commerce and is trying to help people who have to do the work and have to fight the wars brought on by organized wealth. The American people have recently had the oppor tunity of beholding two widely different scenes: One, the great American financiers, who ran proa pertry not of the rhanarlr wf hnnwt business and scooped it up into their own confers, and then shouted "Prosperity is just around the corner." That is the Haynes, Mills, Morgan. Mellon gang that ran the Hoover administration; that ran men from their homes, and took their lands and houses for debts and taxes, and closed most of thr mills and factories, to say nothing of thousands of small banking institu tions eielng us the greatest panic the world has ever known. Now, the other side of the picture: Mr. Roosevelt took hold of the remnants of a broken nation, saved what banks were left, restored many of the homes, en abled most of us to pay our back taxes: doubled the price of leaf tobacco: is holding cotton at 12 1-2 cents steadjly by taking it out pi the speculative, unholy jaws of a gang of the most obnoxious, dishonest gam blers known in the world's history?cotton gamblers, who have made more profits out of the south's cot ton crop for the last quarter of a century than the producer has sold it for. He assures the farmer that he is going to get a fair price for his products. He is the President who assures us that every man shall enjoy the fruits of his own labor. We dn nrrr d"|'"1i thr furl Ihnt banking is an hon orable and needed profession. But banks can not be classed as charitable institutions, and we still main tain that the interests of the great commonweal is of j more importance than any institution, although Mr. \ Haynes may hold to the contrary. Increasing Infant Mortality Some though and some discussion have been arous ed recently on the subject of the rapid increase in the infant death rate. The medical profession and the country at large have apparently Rone further towards safeguarding the public health by improved methods of sanitation, and-more careful feeding in the past few years than at any other time. These progressive steps seem to have warranted the opinion that the death rate among infants should be lower and. at least, not proportionally higher. A few guesses have been made as to the probable cause for the increased rate, arfti if true they are sad. One prominent doctor has expressed the opinion that mothrs are not staying with their children enough, that the new orgy makes the rearing of children more hazardous. Others have the suspicion, and to some degree, the fear that nicotine may have the effect of poisoning children in the prenatal state and also in early infancy. We do not wish to argue either side of the case. However, we do say that if it is the case that mothers aTe weakening their offspring by drinking too deep of the drugs of modern pleasure, we need to change our ways of jinKedure until we afe capable of producing a race the equal of their fathers. -Man was pretty well made when God pronounced him good. Since his creation, man has made some improvement along some lines, while in others he has degenerated to the point where there are very few who do not have to be patched up from sole to crown at otic.tune or another. After all. neglect and nicotine may both kill babies. Early Marriages Out of a class of 22 seniors in the Eureka High School. 15 have been married since the school opened. Of course, all members of the class were very young and will generally be regarded as eaiirely too young to face the responsibilities of married life. From 16 years to what we usually regard a proper marriage able age is a sufficient |>eriod for the marriage barque "to strike many a rocky recr. on Hie other lianU, ftunr 15 years to 25 years is a long |>eriod for youth to browse in the modern channels of society. And, after all, those who marry early are not necessarily doomed to final destruction and in many ways beat the wise old guys who go out to master the ways of the world unfettered by any tangible ties. A Message That Should Be Heeded The Bishop's closing message at the recent Episco pal church meeting at Atlantic City was rather point ed, but in every way important. He appealed to >outh to check ''the evil and lustful ways of a wicked and adulterous generation.'' The bishop's words are well worth heeding and will have to be heeded before humanity is safe. We are all, young and old, failing to see and ob serve the danger points in our human society. Heed the words of the bishop and avoid the shame and the heartaches and disappointments that we will have to face if we continue on our present course. FOR SALE: FIVE ROOM HOUSE good location.
