The Rocky Mount Herald VOLUME 4, NO. 34 HIGHLIGHTS OF ROOSEVELT MANTEO TALK Fort Raleigh, Roanoke Island, Aug. 18, ig Wights of President Roose- commemorating the birth « Virginia Dare follows: I fear very i much that if certain modern Americans, who protest loudly their devotion to American ideals, were suddenly to be given a comprehensive view 'of the earliest American colonists and their meth ods of life .and government, they would promptly label them Secial ists. In the half century that follow ed (Jefferson's administration) thero was constant war between those who, like Andrew Jackson, believ ed in ft democracy conducted by and for a complete cross-section of the population, and those who, like the -directors of tke Banks of the United States and ' their friends in the United States Senate, believed in the conduct of government by a self perpetuattng group at the top of the , ladder. * They (American Lord Maeanleyi) tell you that America drifts toward the Scylla of dictatorship on the one hand, or the Charybdis of an |,.Archy on the other. Their anchor -for the salvation of the ship of atatj is Macauley's anchor. Supreme .power—in the hands of a class, num erous indeed, but select. Mine is a different anchor. They •do not believe in democracy. I do. My anchor is democracy—and more k .democracy. . . I am firm in my be lief that the nation, by an over whelming majority, supports my op position to the vesting of su preme power in the hands of any „ class, numerous but select. I conceive it to be true that I am just as strongly in favor of the security of property and the main tenance of order as the American Lord Macauleys who thunder today. And in this the American people are with me too. But we cannot go along with the Tory insistence that sal vation lies in the vesting of power in th e hands of a select class. Macauley condemned the Ameri - m iilme W government based on popular majority. In this country eighty years later his successors do not yet dare openly to condemn the American form of government by popular majority, for they pro fess adherence to ths form while at the same time their every act shows opposition to the very fundamentals of democracy. They (the American Lord Macau leys) love to intone phrases of lib erty, to mouth phrases about the sanctity of our Constitution— but in their hearts they distrust major ity rale because an enlightened ma jority will not tolerate abuses which a privileged minority would seek to foist upon the people as a whole. They seek to substitute their own for that of the majority for they ffcould serve their own interest above the general welfare.

VACCINATION OF DOGS URGED BY VETERINARIAN Dr. L. H. Hicks and his assistants vaccinated 108 dogs in Nashville on Saturday, August 14. All dogs were supposed to have been vaccinated by July 1 but In as much as there was some confusion about the dates, August 14 was set as the last date on whieh dogs could be vaccinated. However, due to the fact that such a large number of persons brought dogs to be vaccinated Dr. Hicks agreed to be in Nashville again Sat urday, August 21, from 1 to 6 P. M. to vaccinate all dogs which are brought. This vaccination cost 50c and Dr. Hicks will issue a slip which when presented at the time when your tax is paid you will be given credit for 50c on your tax. There fore, the vaccination will not cost anything whatsoever. After Saturday, August 21, the sheriff will call upon the people who did not have their dogs vacci nated and they will be prosecuted. poorest are no longer necessarily the most ignorant part of society. I seek no change in the American form of government. Majority rule must be preserved as the safeguard of both liberty and civilization. Un der it property can be secure; under it abuses can end; under it order can be maintained. ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1937 P. M. GENERAL VISITOR HERE Postmaster General Interested In Air Msil Service For Rocky Mount Soon "I should be very glad to see Cocky Mount's airport facilities en larged and air mail service inaugu rated as soon as these can be ar ranged," said Postmaster General James J. Farley to a group of citi zens who welcomed (him in a brief stop in* the; CS(y Tuesday night. "This is an excellent center," he said, "and I am for anything that will promote your interests." The cabinet officer paused briefly here en route to Elizabeth City, where he spent the night, before going on today to Manteo to join the President who spoke there Wednesday. He had been to Fay etteville for an address before tho state convention of postmasters. In company witm him was Ambrose o*Connell, executive assistant to the Postmaster General A represen tative number of loeal dignitaries greeted the distinguished guest, all of whom he greeted warmly. One of those present asked Mr. Farley how it was that in view of the pressure of official business inci dent to the approaching adjourn ment of Congress and the difficul ties of the Oriental situation, the President could spare the time to leave Washington now. ''ls it because he has a speech he wants to deliv er t" * "Mr. Roosevelt is coming because some months ago he promised Lind say Warren he would come. It nev er would do to disappoint so fine a man as Lindsay Warren on an occa sion that means so much to him and to his people. And that is also the I am here," wae the reply the General gave. Pleasantries were exchanged by the General, Mr. O'Connell, and lo cal citizens who had gathered for the welcome. Arthur C. Davis, Rocky Mount's personification of the car toon character "Uncle Sam," invited the general to take part in one of the parades he so often leads. "Then," winked Mr. Davis, "folks can't tell whether I am working for you or you are working for me." Mr. Parley smiled in enjoyment of the jest. Insurance Agency Is Moved Here W. S. Wilkinson, Inc., o general insurance agency here of which George A. Wilkinson is president, is settling its headquarters in a new office on Sunset Avenue at the How ard street intersection.

THE PRESIDENT AT MANTEO * * * North Carolina had the high honor this week of having the President of the United States take part in commem orating the birth of Virginia Dare at Manteo. No more appropriate place could have been found in this nation than Roanoke Island for the President of the United States to deliver his great address on democracy. The President understands better than anyone else that the United States has within its borders a large class that do not believe in real democracy or the rule of the people. While they express great devotion to democracy and their love for the Constitution, yet in their own hearts there is a deepaeated feeling that the ruling powers should be from a select educated, wealthy class. Such a class as Lord Maoauley, the English Historian spoke of in his letter to his friend in this country. Macauley did not believe the people should rule and he did not believe in majority rule. He believed in this select class with gov rnment handed down by heredity. This group that ex pressed such a devotion to the Constitution and to Mr. Jefferson was the same that condemned Mr. Jefferson when he lived for his liberal views. Sometime ago dur ing the last presidential campaign, we read a letter condemn ing the administration of the President, indeed a vi cious letter, and we thought it was a letter against Mr. Roosevelt and were offended at its mean and cruel ex pressions. At the bottom of the letter there was a statement in which it explained that this letter was written about the last term of President George Washington. This samie group professing devotion to the Constitu tion criticizing the liberal views of President George Wash ington. The speech of the President was great and was deliv ered at a time when it was needed in this world—today.
