Page 2 THE DANBURY REPORTER. N. E. PEPPER, Editor and Publisher Iwued Wednesdays at Danbury, N. C., and entered at the Danbury poatolhce as eeoond class matter, under act ot Congress. THURSDAY. MARCH 4. 1937. Church And Politics. "Most of us here in North Carolina" says the North Carolina Christian Advocate, newspaper organ of the great Methodist denomination in the State, "have heard nothing but democracy and the sanctity of the ballot. Evidently the ma jority of this present General Assembly care lit tle for either of these or else they would do some thing to secure an honest ballot and they would be willing to trust the people. No wonder high souled and honorable citizens are often filled with disgust." "Just now" says the North Carolina Christian Advocate, "Many are ready to push the Su preme Court'into the background. The sugges tion made that the President appeal to the masses and stir them so opposition to his pres ent plan (packing the court) may be swept away are the best arguments for a stable tribunal. This is our only defense against the schemes of designing men. Dictators thrive where there are none to say to them nay. The court is the bulwark of our liberties." A religious newspaper has just as much right to go in for politics as any other kind of paper. The only difference is that when it returns to its religious editorials, it is mighty apt to find them losing their strength. The North Carolina Christian Advocate's bit ter thrusts at the New Deal and the North Caro lina "Democratic Machine" are enjoyed no where so much as in the sanctum of the Union Republican, where they are reprinted on the Republican's editorial page. Bishop Cannon and other divines who left their pulpits and went into politics tO beat A 1 Smith, perhaps did a of it, but they played havoc with religious influence. What's Fair For the Goose Is Unfair For the Gander. The bill in the legislature to issue $25,000,000 in bonds with which to build and repair the sec ondary roads of the State was defeated. The opposition was led by Senator Ratcliff of Forsyth who could see no sense in spending all this money to get the farmers out of the mud, since Forsyth is honeycombed with hardsurface highways lead ing into Winston-Salem from every direction. One of the most perfect highways in the State, is No. 65 leading east from Winston-Salem to ward Reidsville. This road is of cement and straight as an arrow, yet it enjoys compara tively little travel. It was one of these "superfluous" roads, perhaps. Its cost would have built hundreds of miles of dirt or tar roads for North Carolina farmers who trade at Win ston-Salem except during periods in winter when they can't get their cars out, and even the school buses have to stop. The legislature finally appropriated $5,000,000 for the secondary roads, over the protest of Senator Ratcliff. Hancock To the Rescue. Frank Hancock stock has skyrocketed in North Carolina since he came to the rescue of President Roosevelt when so many other Sen ators and Congressmen are fighting him in his efforts to help the farmers, the laboring classes and the little man in general. Hancock represents manv thousands of tobac co farmers in the great Fifth district who will appreciate his courageous stand. These farm- 1 ers know their President, they know what he i has done for them in the past, and they are w'lling to trust him. The people are behind the Pr sident. Those who are putting out all this tommyrot about packing the Supreme court are mainly those who opposed him in the elec tion.
