Addreaa all communications to The Enterpriac and not individual membera of the trn. Tuesday, March 30, 1937 Select a People's Legislature North Carolina's General Assembly adjourned a lew days ago after doing some of the things the peo ple wanted it to do and doing some of the things the people did nut want it to do and, most of all, failing to do some of the things the people wanted it to do The session is history now, and there s little use to cry over that record. The thing to do now is to start planning for the record that will be made two years from now The power to plan a record rests with the people, and they should be prepared to exercise that power at the polls in June and November of next year. If no candidate presents himself as being for the people, first, last and always, then it is up to the people to draft one for themselves. Action on the part of the people next June and No vember will determine the policies that will be follow ed in the 1939 legislature. If the people are satisfied with the record of the recent legislature, well and good, but if they want to be heard in the next Genera] As sembly they must pick their representatives in June ami elect them in the following November of next year. No program, cut and dried by a handful of leaders apparently removed from the masses, will be rammed down the throats of the people if only the people will act at the proper time and not wail until their power is spent before they start complaining. Possessor of Friends During rftrni days page advertisements have ap peared in doaras of newspaper over the state, the text of the ads supporting I'nitd States Senator Josiah W baileys stand against the President's Supreme Court proposal Mr. Bailey tells in that text how he chose ""the hard way," tha ads carrying at the bottom, "I'ub Itshed by friends of Senator Bailey and Constitutional Government and. in very small letters, "Paid adver tising. There are two very enlightening facts about the Senator's advertising program this far removed from the next primary One of them is the fact that one Josiah Bailey has far more friends than we thought ~ he had, and the other is Ihe lact thai they are such good friends they would released good dollars to bu> advertising for him. Without saying it is or it is not, we are just a bit suspicious that the money supporting the Senator's advertising campaign is coming from the same sources that the money came from to fight the reelection of President Roosevelt just a few months ago. The friends paying for all the advertisements are not num bered?not one of them, it is safe to say?among the masses who are appealing to the leaders of this nation to lead them out of bondage. The poorly paid textile workers in the Piedmont and the tenant farmers in the Coastal Plain never, it is safe to declare, paid a penny to tell hou manly Mr. Bailey chose "the hard way." And tt ri the "hard way," alt right, for it appears that Senator Bailey has chosen to tum against the oppressed and cast his lot with those who apparently believe in government by the few and for the lew Senator Bailey was against the AAA and other agen cies that pulled this country from the brink of de struction "Unconstitutional, unconstitutional," the Seaitiir is credited with having cried when courageous leaders tried to save the country. If that was the Senator's oniy objection to the AAA, then why doesn't he help remove that objection by favoring the only plan so far advanced to make them constitutional? The President s court plan makes clear Mr. Bailey's stand bnck yonder when he was, in body and sot against the measures that proved of great help to the farmer, the laborer and those of little privilege. And then the Senator had the audacity to travel in east ern North Carolina in his campaign for redaction and bruy about what had been done for the farmer just aa though he was responsible for it. Na one can deny Mr. Bailey the right to his opin and the right to freely express them, but he out of the mate and stop accepting the t'? money to hght back at them. Mated Investigations The qU practice at hdUtg the eUble after the hone has bee* stolen m characterietic of the ?n* of ok catastrophe after another ?ore interested in I In crash or what causes a *>aad cte. >mi ii. of i ae in Bsostigating the i methods of preventing disasters that could be pre vented so easily. Late reports from the investigation made of the ?eoent New London, Texas, school tragedy maintain gas seepage did not cause the model school to blow tg>. that the tapping of a waste gas line might have caused the explosion costing nearly 500 lives. On Easter Sunday morning a memorial service was held there, the event attracting nation-wide attention. We look upon such tragedies with horror, but our thoughts seldom consider an investigation of lurking dangers until it is too late and life after life is snatched from the earth. The facts now indicate that a timely investigation would have prevented the New London disaster. Probably investigations will be made of the possible dangers in other schools in Texas, but, for the most part, other sections of the country will be satisfied to drift along in the same old rut. Periodic investigations are made by grand juries in this and other counties. With few exceptions, the recommendations made by the juries are all but ig nored. It is time we were throwing aside our indif ference. and value investigations and the resulting recommendations at their true worth. Only once in a century does death strike so forcibly as it struck in the Texas oil town, but every day unnecessary dan gers face everyone of us in one way or another. .There is no denying the existing dangerous sur rounding hundreds of tittle children when they are transported in mechanically defective and over crowded busses We crowd into public buildings near )v every day in the week and think little or nothing about the absence of fire regulations. We dare gam ble and trust our lives to mere chance in one way or another, but the investigation and findings as a re sult of even a minor accident attract our attention. We are apparently more interested in hindsight rather than in foresight. The Governor's First Real Test (Hershadowed by the General Assembly since his inauguration early last January, Governor Clyde R Hoev, now that the legislative machinery has ceased turning, is facing his first real test as the chosen rep resentative of the people. The failings of the recently adjourned legislative session are not directly charge able to the governor; his test comes with the ajipoint ments of commissions to direct the affairs of the peo ple These appointments, particularly those for places on the highway commission, which is to be reorganiz ed, will be eagerly awaited by the people. The type of appointments to this commission and to other agen cies will, in a large way, determine the real relation of the governor with his people. From one end of North Carolina to the other, the mandate has been and continues to be for the complete disintegration of the present highway dynasty, the practices of which have jarred the great highway system created by the late Frank I'age to its foundation. The people be lieve they have not fared justly under the present re gime, and the governor, if he follows the will of the people, will remember this very fact when he names his eleven-member commission and starts it on its way on or about the first of May in the interest of the people. The Curse of Youth Elizabeth City Independent Idle an<1 undisciplined youth are the curse o( this modern life. Life has been made so easy that it is hard lor youth not to become flabby and soft. Most ol our work today has been robbed of the hardening up processes to which youths of former generations were subjected. And the neglect of parents to discipline their chil dren and school them in self-reliance and self-support is prolonged through four years of college life, until the boy or girl emerges from college a grown man or grown woman, with no equipment to do for himself or herself except a head full of nonsense that is more often a handicap than a help. To<i many |>arents delegate the responsibility for the bringing up of their offspring to teachers outside the home The child that has not t>een taught resprct for au thority in the home has no resprct for any authority outside the home; The brst training a child ever gets is in the hands of an intelligent, loving and upright parent whose own deportment is such as to evoke the spontaneous re sprct of the child. Such a parent can. starting early enough with the child, teach him the value of tidiness, punctiliousness, thoroughness, honesty, truthfulness and good manners. If the child hasn't learned these things before he is 10 years old he is starting life with a handicap that it will be must difficult for him to overcome in later life.
