Friday, July 22, 1932 Plan Winter Garden by All Means - a With the almost certain short crops this fall, on account of the recent drought, those people who ex pect to be fed from charity funds during the coming winter are going to find times very much harder than they have in the past. Neighbors will not be able to be as neighborly as they have been, because their own bins will not be as full as they once were. A good winter garden will help to feed the family during the winter months. Collards, turnips, ruta bagas, and several other varieties of greens nearly al ways thrive through the fall and winter months and on into the spring. If we neglect to sow, we will have nothing to reap. . ,3» ' ' Mr. Hoover's Salary Cut Polticians seldom do anything that pleases every body. One exception popped up, however, and that was recently when President Herbert Hoover decreas ed his own salary by $15,000. And the President went just a little bit further and pleased everybody again when lje decreased the salaries of each cabinet mem-' ber frahi $15,000 to $13,500. And then everyone is agreed that somebody should take a whack at the salaries paid congressmen. If they can't live on small salaries then let them change from the way of extravagance and turn toUthe simple life. It will be better for them and for everybody else if they do change because the rest of Us will not have to strain so hard to trot in the swift class. Burke Fails by Three Millions Dollars That fellow Henry Burk, the wonderful budget balancer and $25 treasury teat sucker, failed by more than $3,000,000 to do his duty last year. It would probably be one of the best things this State could do to balance Burke's account and send him back to Wisconsin. The people know they are in debt and must pay taxes, and while they dislike to pay taxes, they also dislike financial dictatorships worked out and thrust upon them by one Mr. Burke. Apparently it is hard to elect a man to do things himself but who has to get somebody else to do the work. This man Burke was brought to North Carolina by Governor McLean, and it looks now as if no body can make any figures but Mr. Burke. ODD-BUT TRUE m *\m w n ratten* J) •fiiifcftt mttftOMi ivttt m Mfy\ MSL IMI ifixcA tw wrm* / /) S Just Marking Time Washington Progress. So far as the average business man in Eastern Car olina is concerned, he is merely marking time. Ap parently, he isn't interested in going after new busi ess; all that he wants to do is to hold on. If the business men of Washington would display the proper spirit of cooperation; if they would study existing problems and the best method of coping with those problems, they could boost their volume of busi ness a hundred per cent and probably considerably more than that. The depression has got our goat. We're like the man who went out in a boat and who was overcau tious. He was so busy looking for leaks that he for got all about sailing his craft. And that's exactly the attitude which many of our merchants are taking. They are losing a lot of business because they are making no effort to go after it. Business conditions in Washington—and this is no idle assertion —could be changed almost overnight if a conscientious effort was made to bring about this change. One man can't do it by himself, but if every body cooperated and if everybody made up {lis mind to help, a surprising upward trend unquestionably would take place. However, there is very little use in trying to call attention to this matter, because when a man has once made up bis mind about the course of action he wants to pursue it is almost impossible to change it. And so we'll just keep right on marking time. We are eager for times to change, but we are loath to do our part in helping bring about that change. No Evasion of Issues o Charlotte News. > l . In other ways than in its declaration on prohibi tion the Democratic platform is a marvel of terseness, specification, definition. It leaves no room anywhere for double interpretation. Even if certain of its pro visions may be of such nature as to lose votes it minces no words as to its resolved intentions. It advocates "immediate and drastic reduction of governmental expenditures . .Drastic is a relative term; one man's drasticity is another man's mildness. But the Democrats seek no cover. They indulge themselves in that platform novelty of specification. One-fourth, at least one-fourth, reduction of the cost of government is their goal, and they locate it. The Republican platform urges drastic reduction, too, but it-qualifies the word with a phrase utterly lacking in definition. The platform says, in words no one can misunderstand, that the Democrats commit them selves to the raising of budget-balancing revenues without recourse to the sales tax. Many people will regret that position; none of them can fail to admit that it is a position, in contrast to which the Republi can platform evades the issue by affirming its inten tion merely to "stand steadfastly by the principle of a balanced budget." And so, throughout, it proceeds; a clear statement of intention, a declaration of principle. It is short enough to be read, whereas only the most obligated found the patience necessary to a complete reading of the opposition platform. It is simple enough to be understood by every one, even by the people for whose benefit many of its statements are made. It is, in fact, exactly what it purports to be, and though you may find fault with various declarations here and there within it, you cannot fail, to perceive the forth righteousness of the whole. THE ENTERPRISE BLAND FAMILY IS AGAIN BACK IN NEWSPAPERS • 1 1 Editorial Exchange Follows Sentencine of Youth To Roads From a visit with the President of the United States several years back to a sentence on (he roads is the rec ord of news stories about the family of Reuben Bland, once heralded as the country's most fertile papa, and his son, Woodrow Wilson Bland, the 32nd in the tribe of 34 children. When the older Bland was shown off to the world by Carl Goerch, his record was wide ly discussed, and now that the boy has been sentenced to the roads for vagrancy and hoboing, many papers are commenting. A Greensboro paper says editorially: "Reuben Bland, eastern Carolina ten ant farmer, who was discovered and exploited several years ago by Carl Goerch as the nation's champion fath er, is back in the public prints; not in his own name but in the name of Wood row Wilson Bland, the 32nd member of his tribe of 34, who was a defendant in Rocky Mount recorder's court ear lier this week. | "Woodrow, it is learned from the | Rocky Moutit Telegram, is only 16 years old, but, having strayed off from his Martin County home almost with in hailing distance of the Nash-Edge combe metropolis, was sentenced to the roads for two months when ar raigned on a hoboing and vagrancy charge, a general charge at best, and more impotent than ever in these lat ter days when not every man who seeks work can find it or every person who would like to pay railroad fare pos sesses the wherewithal. 'The Telegram, concludes its story " 'Woodrow cried a little after his conviction in court today, but soon braced up and took his seat in the pris oner's box. He left home because he doesn't like crowd, and now he's going to be a member of the state highway commission's family, which is even more populous than his own.' "The incident does its own editor ializing. Those who desire further comment may write their own, with the full understanding that it will not be omplicmentary to the existing sys tem and a society against which Wood row will quit econceivably carry a grudge the rest of his life." The Rocky Mount Telegram replies; "We are almost persuaded to join with the Greensboro News in shedding a few salty tears over the lamentable plight into which the youthful uniniti ated Woodrow Wilson Bland, 32nd son of the champion North Carolina father, Reuben Bland, ha 9 fallen. But there are, alas numbers of deserving cases equally a 9 worthy of lachrymose dem onstrations. Perhaps the wiser plan would be to allow the News to weep alone. "Woodrow, local newspaper readers who haven't forgotten events of the week here may recall, was brought in to the local court charged with hobo ing and vagrancy. Woodrow's years number sixteen, and his experiences a way from the Bland fold have not been so disconcerting and hardening but that he can, if the occasion arises, weep in his own behalf, another reason why we shall save our tears for more hard ened victims who suffer at the hands of local justice. Woodrow's chief sin was that he clambered aboard a train j without an invitation, and, more griev ous yet, without a ticket. His lack of worldly possessions classified him as a vayrant in court parlance. At the end of a brief trial for Wood row, a trial in which the youth failed to offer reasonable excuses for his abrupt departure from the Bland fold, he was ordered to serve a term of 60 days on the roads, and the sentence was immediately executed. "The News concludes that this un happy 'incident does its own editorial izing.' We are not so sure that it does. The fate of Woodrow will not serve to deter other young wanderers who may tire of irksome chore* about their homes where they are entitled to food and lodging far superior to any that aimless wandering can obtain for them. His sentence will not benefit others. It is, indeed, most deplorable that young boys are sent to chain gang*. Woodrow may, as the News fears, turn tour on the world. So long as he can cry, however, we have a glimmer of hope for him. The prodigal son, finding the hu*ks of exile not at all suited to nis tastes, hurried home. Woodrow is feeding upon the husks now. Perhaps the experience will awaken in his youthful bosom a desire to thrust hi* feet under his father's board once more. If such be the case, Woodrow's experience i* an in delible one, and he may never forget the letaon. The Telegram sincerely hope* thi* may be the case. "Judges in mupicipal court* who de»l with hoboes have a doty that makes heavy demands. In every possible case we have observed, offenders are re- Side Quit Hurting, Got Stronger, Well; CARDUI Helped Her Hit R. L. W«at, of HunUTIIU, Ala., wrttw: "I «u w«k and run-down.

Where they appear incorrigi ble or in those remote iasea where it is possible that the application of the rod it likely to have results, judges generally prescribe road sentences. The more impressionable may sour on the world, but they are likely to generate bitterness from the safety of their homes, certainly the proper plaice for youths of sixteen. "Since the News volunteers paternal tears for young Wood row the Tele gram will save its saline drops for oth er victims who may, by chance, de-i serve our salty exercises.
