Tuesday, May 10, 1932 Liquor's Toll Some propagandists say the liquor laws have failed, which, of course, is altogether untrue, except as to those people who will break the law for liquor. They should go further in their veiled praise of liquor and honestly tell the folks that liquor has sel dom failed to destroy its lover and its worshipers. First of all, it makes them seek some words of praise in its false name. They can safely say that liquor has not failed to kill its thousands and garb millions in rags. It has not failed to destroy the vi tality and health of unnumbered hosts. It has not failed to carry its thousands to county homes, pris ons, and insane asylums—those who would have lived happy, sober, honest lives but for the demon in the alcohol that destroyed their reason, shattered their nerves, and banished their morals. All liquor laws were made to help man morally, physically, mentally, and spiritually, which they will do when obeyed. They bless all people who obey them. Liquor curses the man who refuses to obey the law. All we need is an honest look at the man who keep 6 the law and the man who breaks it for proof that the law is good. Government's Limited Functions Our government seems to have but two functions: First of all to make prosperity for the rich; second, to keep the masses satisfied. The whole trend of things is along the line of a prosperous master and a pacified servant. This pro cess has gone on until a few dominate the affairs of the country, while the rank and file of the folks are on the verge of bankruptcy and semi-starvation. We need some law to crush the unfair power of wealth. Where Money Circulates Money in the hands of labor is used at least twen ty-five times as often as money in the hands of the rich. When money gets out of the hands of the poor and into the pockets of the rich, it always makes for hard times. . - The rich are today responsible for the hard times. It just suits them, because their dollars are worth more. ODD-BUT TRUE . '; * • . . .'7" : •. ciiMiM ia MMMM.

When it convened last December, it looked as if al most everybody wanted to act honestly and help the country. It was soon observed that the Congressmen were forgetting the people back home, and they be-" gan to go into politics. Now, about the only thing going on at the capital is see-saw and hee-Haw. No one on either side seems to remember the dis tress in the country, and they seem to have narrowed their endeavors down to two points: The first is to secure their pay for this session; the other is to get their pay for the next session—leaving the suffering public no hope, while the rank and file look at a Re publican Senatt and a Democratic House with con tempt. * A Duty of the Congress Secretary of the Treasury Mills warns Congress not to tamper with the currency. Certainly, he does not want the country to handle the money of the coun try. The rich bankers now dominate our entire mon etary system, which is one of the principal troubles with business today. Congress ought to take hold of the entire circulat ing system of all kinds of currency. Then Mr. Mills, Mr. Morgan, and Mr. Mellon will not make quite so much money, and the common run of folks who do the work and the producing will get more. How the Tariff Works '# Baltimore Sun. Take the tariffs. In increasing volume during the past decade have risen the voices of statesmen, econ omists, bankers, and business men against piling up tariffs. In trade, the world has become a tightly inter laced unit, and no nation can live within itself and un to itself and yet know prosperity. But our Congress piles the Smoot-Hawley law on top of the then un precedentedly high rates, and Mr. Hoover, in disre gard of his own messages to Congress, signs the dead ly thing. And so, while statesmen, economists, bank ers, and business men increase their protests against such efforts to tear the eoinomic unit of the world into ragged segments, other governments follow our gov ernment's example and all over creation the mad dance becomes madder. Canada, with her reprisals; France, with her intensified quota system; England, with her compliment by imitation, as Mr. Baldwin suggested in one of those moments when the English break the monotony of dull routine with bits of dainty whimsy; * Germany, with her decrees, and on through the list of nations. Everywhere men assure themselves that in the modern world nations must exchange goods and services or wither. And everywhere men support gov-> ernments that refuse to exchange goods and services with each other. "Fat Naked Chilluns" Lenok News-Topic. I f you ride along the highways these days you must be impressed with the fact that almost every avail able spot of ground has been cleared and prepared for cultivation. When people are in depressed cir cumstances they go back to the land, and that is what has happened. Most families with a few acres of ground can raise enough to eat and the indications are that they are preparing to do that this year. It reminds us of Hambone's meditation: there will be a whole lot of fat naked chilluns around here this year. We won a glorious war IS years ago and 50 years hence probably will be still paying for it.—Shoe and Leather Reporter. THE ENTERPRISE THE LETTER-BOX J DANCING Mr. Eittor: I read in The Enterprise about the ' disgraceful and huaiiliating dances that are being held in Williamston and H surely furnished a plenty of food for thought for those who ar£ inclin ed to view it as a harmless pastime. It made me think about reading the "Origin of the' Dance," taken from the tract by H. A. Coffman. "Gault. a French dancing master, originated the waltz in 1627. He was licentious and glorified in the fact that he had led many girls into lives of sin. He even went so low in the moral code that he strangled his own sister in an attempt to ruin her. The act cost hiln his life. The first time on record that a man and woman danced the so-called fancy dances together in public was in a house of ill fame in Paris in the f/t ar 1842. The police sought for six ( years to confine it to the place of its birth, but it finally got into the tene ment districts of Paris and in course' of time the waltz became general in the city of ijts origin. England fought this dance for nine j years, but at the end of that time it j began to creep into the, vice districts of that country's large cities. Then to J j the tenement quarters and finally to 1 - ! this country. _ America has improved on the ' grotesque and immoral by creating the tango, fox trot, bunny hug, shim my, camel's walk, black bottom and dozens of other disgraceful looking dances that wouldn't seem so much | out of place in the jungles of Africa as they do here. This rnotly American dancing zoo ! has since been exported to Paris to i become the vogue there, but the city ! that originated the Jow-class dance has put these unspeakable and vulgar ,lances under ban of law, and none ' but the two step can be danced in France," the last time that I read anything about it. Not only do most of the dances lead to immorality, but the nude way in which many women dress surely upholds it. And the way they drink curse and smoke should be enough to disgust any decent young man, but they usually pick their wives off of' a ballroom floor. The bright lights, sparkling dresses and whiskey have them camouflaged to such an extent that their marriage lands them in Reno before its well consummated, and barely outlasts the honeymoon. 1 once heard a woman say that she did not have decent clothes to wear to church as it took every cent 'she could rake and scrape to buy eve ning dresses and other fine accessor ies for her daughter to wear to dances and card parties, that she made this sacrifice in order for her daughter to meet wealthy men and marry well. 1 noticed that her daughter appreciated it by lying in bed all the next day while her aged mother did the work. Dancing ten miles on the ballroom floor did not tire her, but helping her mother seemed to.be more than her. constitution could stand. And that is the class of women whose marriage is sure to land on the rocks. The people who call themselves "first class" are having disguised gam-1 bling dens and barrooms in their own homes, and its not only the single ones that go away drunk, but the mar ried ones as well. Some people say: To create more demand for new products and give more work to the unemployed, we must repeal the 18th amendment and have the saloons back again. Just think of the brewers, bar tenders and ' drunken drivers that would have work .again. The garages would be work ing day and night, repairing trucks trucks and automobiles wrecked by whiskey. Thinking of the flourishing business that the casket makers and undertakers would have. There would be prosperity for some, but would such a condition be desirable and "IF I got constipated,, ONS I would get dlwy and have swimming- In my head. I would hare very ••▼•re' I' headache. - T*>r a while I' thought I wouldn't take anything—may be I could wear out I the headaches; but X I found they were i wearing me out "I found Blaek--' Draught would re-» • here this, so when I have the very first' 1 symptoms, I take Black-Draught and ' now I dont tare the\ headache. am a firm be liever In Blaek- Draught, and after' ' using It SO or morr yean, I am satisfied - to continue Its use."~ * mmmm. o»s"S" fmrh.

Men who respect the irikabitspt* of their town do not rent their buildings to people wfco have dances to Mtice' the "bootleggers" and questionable women to me as a rendervwos and where they can meet and advertise their business more extensively. I think the greatest personalities of the future will be women law-makers who will have the power to keep auch immoral conduct out of their towns. Then we will hardly need stsch things as prisons, charity homes or police. Women and children will be comfort able in homes of plenty and the lakes of tears that whiskey and immoral conduct have caused will soon be dry, and peace and contentment will reign Jamesville, April 30. once more in our homes.
