A Great Opportunity
With a new President in the White Hiuise and a new
cabinet as his counsel, there is some degree of hope
for the American people.
The most disap|>ointing thing to the average person
is the retention of Andrew W. Mellon in the Hoover
cabinet. Vet bankers generally regard it as one of
the wisest selections yet made by Hoover. The peo
ple of the nation generally have a higher regard for
Mr. Hoover than they did for Coolidge, but there is
yet time for disappointment.
The people said Warren G. Harding was an honest
man when he was inaugurated, but after reviewing his
acts as president, they no longer say he was a good
man. Mr. Coolidge will go down as the cold-storage
president; but if none of his record rises up to con
demn him he will be called, in history, an honest
man—standing, however, a little nearer the interests
than the people.
Mr. Hoover has chosen a much stronger cabinet
than either Harding or Coolidge, and, of course, bet
ter and cleaner men than Harding did. No "scan
dals are looked for in the Hoover reign, because peo
ple have confidence in the honor and ability of both
Hoover and his cabinet.
The important thing at this hour is, "Which way
will the administration lean? Will it stand by and
permit such consolidations and manipulations in busi
ness that all ndividual and private interests are
crushed? The past decade has seen the hand of
wealth grow more rapidly than ever in the history of
the world, while the individual and unorganized busi
ness has been reduced almost to a skeleton and stands

If Hoover will enthrone the people as the sover
eigns of the land, he will go down into history in the
category of Washington, Lincoln, and Wilson. But
if *ht ch>wns money king, as the trend has been for
the last two administrations, he will fail, and his works
will only qyntribute to the decay of the democracy of
a glorious country. a
The world's next great conqueror is due in Ameri
ca—not to cope with things afar off and to whip for
eign nations, but to even up things in our own coun
try—proving himself the servant of the people and
not the puppet of the big interests.
If Mr. Hooyer can do these things now in a quiet
way, then he will have served well.
Now Is the Time To Act
While the Virginia Electric & Power Co. is being
held up by the courts from cutting trees on certain
streets, the town is given time to think.
The town, by a large majority, voted to sell the
power companySt,s plant and the right to use its
streets to maintain its lines for serving the people.
The first thing the company did when it came here was
to say, "Things don't suit us. We, must have things
just to suit; that is, put our poles where tliey will
not cost much to place and little to maintain; and
where a tree happens to stand in th;- way, slash it
down, regardless of who put it there or how much it
benefits 'he adjoining property owners."
Perhaps one of the things which deserves the great
est censure is the fact that they will cut trees and
leave the stumps to decay and iitter the streets for
years to come. Cutting the tree is not half so bad
in principle as leaving the stump standing there l.e
menace the looks of the town. It is really selfish
ness, matured to impudence. If they are going to
cut the trees, then let them clean up the trash!
One other thing that should not be permitted is
the ziz-zagging of the pole line by putting one pole
in a block 9 feet from the property line and the next
one 12 or 14 feet from the line. *
The power 'company can find a way to run its linei
and serve the people, and the expense will not be
great. But it should not be permitted to have a free
hand in cutting and slashing the town's trees and
using the streets in any manner that will destroy the
beauty and impair the usefulness of the streets, which
are just as essential as the lights.
If these things are iw>t regulated now, it will soon
be too late. The town should tell them what to do
and require them to do it.
Somebody Must Be Hiding Something
Martin County is said to have 2,763 farms. In a
recent statement given out in the annual report of
the Tax Commission farni s in the Coastal Plain belt,
in which Martin County is located, were said to have
cleared $1,147 each, after all expenses were paid.
Taking all these figures as a basis, Martin County
farmers tleared above all erpenses —in 1927, $3,-
149,101.00. Jf this is true, then farmers, what has
become of the money?
