Stop, Look and Listen
When the Roosevelt administration de
clined to take on the reactionary poli
cies which Jchn W. Hanes gratuitously
. advanced when he was undersecretary
.of the treasury, Mr. Hanes resigned,
went back to his Wall Street bank and
became an inveterate enemy of the ad
ministration.
In the ill-fated conspiracy to ditch the
Roosevelt third term train in North Car
olina, Mr. Hanes generously loaned his
talents to efforts being made in his na
tive state by a leadership composed of
his cousin Bob the big banker, Thur
mond Chatham, the big manufacturer,
and Clyde R. Hoey, the retiring gover
nor. '
.W.. . ~• •• -
At that time the Reporter warned in
surrectionists that the train had a Diesel
engine.
It appears that danger signals are in
order again, at least to the Wall Street
ex-Democrat who is now addressing Re
publican clubs in New York city very
vociferously against the evils of the
present regime at Washington.
Mr. Hanes belongs to that hierarchy of
erstwhile super-privilege whose pipe
line from the capital back to Wall Street
was plugged by the man whom they are
now trying to defeat for a fourth term.
Mr. Hanes' profound disquisitions on
our "morally unsound federal fiscal pol
icies sound quite impressive in their
nebulous theories, but are not appealing
to tne hardheaded populace who havp
* not learned in 12 years that the fiscal
•policies are unsound.

There is a law on the statute books of

What's the Matter With Raleigh?
The people of Danbury, Walnut Cove
and contiguous territories are wonder
ing what's the matter with the N. C. Pub -
lic Service Commission that it is with
holding the franchise for a bus line from
Mt. Airy, via Danbury, Walnut Cove,
Stokesdale, Guilford College to Greens
boro.
It is understood that Powell Gilmer,,
the operator of our present community
bus line, applied for this franchise a
good while ago.
But the Raleigh authorities for some
reason are holding up the matter—what
is the matter?
The people want this convenience. It
is needed and desired by hundreds of
v people. Mr. Gilmer is ready to supply
the service when Raleigh let's go.
The Greensboro Record has the follow
ing to say about it:
"We are advised that there is now
pending before Raleigh authorities ap
plication of a bus concern for inaugura
tion of a service that should be of con
siderable benefit to Greensboro and com -
munities lying west & northwest of the
city.
"The proposed line, we are informed,
would link Greensboro directly with
Stokesdale, Belews Creek, Walnut Cove
and intermediate points. These places
were formerly served by Atlantic and
Yadkin passenger, mail and express
train—services abandoned several years
ago. To reach some of these places by
bus from Greensboro it is necessary to
make a long detour byway of Winston-
Salem or Madison.
"It would seem to be very much to the
interest of Greensboro and other places
mentioned to have the proposed service.
Easier, more convenient and cheaper
would thus be provided
for -neonl- n-fshing to visit and shop
here; cw:! peopl® T vor»M, of
course, find it easier to travel in the ter
ritory that would be affected.
"We believe the proposed service to
be of such importance as to warrant ef
forts on the part of the public to to it
that the plan is carried through."
Prosperous Time Ahead
In the days to come when the enemy is
defeated and peace has come, those
Stokes people who have invested liberal
ly in war bonds will be in strong position.
No investment in the world is so at
tractive and so certainly safe as U. S.
war bonds.

The Hour Strikes
The hour has struck in America to
raise high the torch of all-out war and
unsheath the .-word of a mighty and con
suming* vengeance.
The story coming- over the radio today
of the murder, torture and starvation of
7,000 Americans and 8,000 Filipinos
sweeps the nation with a wave of un
precedented horror.
All we can do today is buy bonds, buy
them as never before, pile high the bil
lions for an equipment that will startle
the imaginations of men.
Instead of an army of 10,000,000 men
let us raise the greatest military force
our population is capable of. Enlist men
and women if necessary from 17 to 65.
Congress should drop its bickering
when the blood of American mothers'
boys cries unavenged from the ground in
that despicable land of the Pacific, that
is the nest of these scorpions and taran
tulas who are not worthy to be called
human beings.
If any American citizen has been sway
ed by any considerations other than to
tal co-operation in the battle to rid the
earth of those unspeakable beasts, let
him forget it now.
Mass meetings should be held in every
city, town and hamlet in America to pe
tition congress to uo its full duty as rep
resentatives of our people of North,
South, East and West.
The people will back real ALL - OUT
war.
It is intolerable that the Japanese na
tion shall survive this last incredible
wrong done to Americans.
The Jap navy must be sunk, their cities
blasted down with steel, their lairs burn
ed with fire.
"Vengeance is mine", saith the Lord.
The American armies and navies and
her matchless air forces must made
ready, complete and absolute as the in-
