Must Change To Know More About Cod
When people prize their organized charities, their
religious club work, their fraternal activities, their
civic interests more highly than they do their sports
and spend as much time talking about the interests
and opportunities offered by these organizations as
they do about baseball'and other allied sports, the
children will know more about Ood and less about
Satan.
The Bonus Army
The Bonus Army, marching down on Washington
recently, seems to have a misconception of govern
ment. The members of the army apparently enter
tain the idea that the government is for the purpose
of supporting the people, rather than an institution
supported by the people far ihp mmua| protection of
all. —- j
The army says they want money and demand that
the government pay it. The members of the army do
not consider that they aren't the only people in need;
nor do they seem to care about the twenty million
hungry women .and children who are fat ing a cold
winter unprepared, if the former soldiers are as brave
they claim to be. they will step out of the bread
fine andTet helpless children step in and be fed,
Every veteran in the United States who was wound
ed in the service of any war or who has since become
disabled has been provided for, and nobody is com
plaining, but the marchers around Washington.
It is gratifying to see the American Legion and the
great rank and file of the veterans standing like brave
men, carrying their part of the burdens that are press
ing down upon brow of humanity at this time.
On the other hand, it is sickening to see glutton-giz
zard politicians try to captalize votes by appealing to
the selfish interests of any group of people.
The recent tragedy at Washington last week be
tween the bonus seekers and the regular army was
very unfortunate and should never have happened.
Vet, the bonus marchers were given ample warning
and numerous opi*>rtunities to return to their homes.
The action taken by the government was necessary
in order to insure freedom of thought and action in our
great American government.

Must Turn To New Methods
Drought stricken sections of the country will have
to turn to new methods for feed crops this year. The
corn crops are almost a total failure on many farms,
there being scarcely enough corn to feed the folks, not
even mentioning the livestock. With little prospect
of making enough from cash crops to buy corn, some
extra effort must be made to provide other feed or
many farmers will not be able to keep their horses,
hogs and cows during the coming year. •
There are crops that can be grown from now that
will help to take care of the stock. A few acres of
turnips will feed a large number of cattle. Clover, oats
and rye will make fine grazing for hogs and horses.
It is evident now that food is going to be the prime
need with the thousands of farmers this coming year,
and now is the time to prepare. If every foot of land
is planted to some crop during the summer, fall and
early winter, it will go along way towards saving the
day. Self-reliance and good methods of farming will
be the farmer's shortest road to prosperity.
Hoover's Plans V/on't Work
Mr. Hoover's nine new points will not do the job.
Of course they are good as far as they go, and will
doubtless stimulate business nativities to some extent,
yet they will fall a long ways short of a cure for this
depression.
Mr. Hoover has time yet to gain fame if he will do
the right thing by snatching the reins of government
from organized wealth of the country and by balancing
the ratio of values of all products and commodities
with the value of. the dollar, whirh can be done by cut
ting the debts or reducing th_' value of the dollar.
When that is done, things will start to improve and th»
nation will soon enjoy normil conditions again.
All this should be done before a new president is
inaugurated on March 4, 1933.
If Mr. Hoover performs this act, he is worthy to
be retained in the White House during another term.
But if he is going to fiddle around and let the rich
grow richer and the poor grow poorer until all the
country is swallowed up by mortgage and bond hold
ers, then he deserves to be beaten. Mr. Hoover's
nine new points will not do much good, but will be
about like the prosperity 'just ar und the corner."
We need to turn from a government of by and for
money.and.adopt a new one, a government for the peo
ple. -
Sad Commentary
Sampson Independent.
Press dispatches bring the tragic story of a lad in
Missouri of fourteen years, who held up and killed
a filling station operator in that slate recently, in or
der to get funds to assist his father, who was out of
work, despondent, and on the verge of a nervous
breakdown.
The lad, deeply grieved by the condition of affairs
at home and growing more and more concerned each
day that his dad was not able to secure work and earn
a livelihood for his family, conceived of a plan where
by he might help the situation. He sought to job a
gas station and when the operator resisted, he shot
him, the wound proving fatal.
He was tried, found guilty, and is now in the prison
at Jefferson City, to remain through all the years of
his young life.
No one condones highway robbery, for it is a crime
of the desjierado. However, it is a sad commentary
that a lad of fourteen years should be forced to such
a rash act, through love of his family, and hunger, in
a country where there is an overproduction of food
stuffs.
