Martin Coun ty's poor have been given one carload of the free flour. A county in the eastern part of the State, half the size of Martin, has received two carloads, and an other "cbjtmty the same size as Martin, has had five carloads'of the flour. Certainly there is something wrong with the distribution system. Somebody ought to see if the Red Cross is not being mistreated by somebody. There is no reason why people should be en couraged to lie 'down and let others feed thenv. We can see no reason why any community of farming people should call for fiye carloads of flour unless they have experienced a regular famine. If they would try-to help-themselves, 4hey evidently would not need so much help. If the really worthy and the needy are to be help ed, some means for ascertaining the actual needs of the people other than those now follwed will have to be found. The unworthy and those who are not ac tually in need are getting too much, and that in itself is making the lot harder for those who are in need and who are deserving of aid. Early Decay of Democracy Who is supposed to run this government, and for whom is the government supfxjsed to exist? are two questions one will find it difficult to correctly answer in this clay and time when there are so many differ ent ideas and notions existing among the j>eople. Can it exist if it attempts to satisfy everybody that is trying to suck it? Every town wants a pub lic building. Every creek must have a bridge. Every private resort must have a road or a deep water ca nal Evert - industry wants tariff protection and a military force. Every officer wants a fat salary. Every assembly" of soldiers wants a bonus and all want |>ensions. And after everybody gets all there is to be desired, then they want to curse everybody else. Uur unreasonable demands are fast destroying our prospects for permanent liberty, and as long as we continue to make them we need not look for anything but the early decay our democracy. When people get to the (xiiht they think the gov ernment should feed and clothe them, they are reach ing a mighy low level of citizenship and the sooner they pass on to the other world, the better will our country be. Thief Begs To Play Role of Martyr When a thief calls himself a martyr, it is high time for honest folks Co draw the line. Mayor Jimmie Walker, seeing himself proven a swindler and a grafter and certain to be kicked out of office for his sundry acts of malfeasance, resigned the place and began to whine persecution. He tries now to gain the sympathy of the |jeople by branding himself a martyr of (persecution. Instead of sympa thsizing with the man, the |ieople should brand him as a robber of the public. An Unexplainable Crime Ordinarily there is an explainable cause for every act, but the case over in Pitt County where two boys, ages 19 and 16 respectively, turned the home ofc a neighbor, is one in which it is hard to determine the stimulus underlying the act. The two young boys went to the home of a neighbor between midnight and day and fired (he building while the owner and his family slept. The structure was destroyed, and sev eral of the occupants were painfully burned, all of them narrowly escaping with their lives. The baffling part of the malicious crime is whether it was a case of double dare-devil or the natural de pravity of the human heart. If it had beea a case of Jesse James bravery, the two lads would have gone at the noon day hour, and fought out their dif ferences as the braves of old did. But they went in the shadows of night and played the role of cow ard and sneak, and that in itself should be classed as a case of total depravity. If it is a case of total de pravity, it is a tragedy; if it is a case of lack of training, it is also a tragedy; >UILI(HID KVBRV TUMDAY AMC KWIPAY A Dastardly Crime When one deserts his own kin to the world, it is bade enough, but when one deserts its kin into the hands of others of another raceya blot upon society results, a blot that no court, no correctional institu tion or the appeals of human kindness can ever rub out. Over in Wayne County recently some foe of so ciety and the principles of decency, left a helpless white child of only ten days of age, on the porch of a colored family, there to meet whatever fate came its way. It might have been that the child was left there in an effort to cover loose morals. It might have been that man-made economic laws made it impos sible for the mother to care for the innocent soul. It might have been that modern society, after encourag ing the dastardly act, frowned upon the mother and turned a deaf ear to the case. The infant was delivered to welfare authorities of Wayne where its life depends upon charity or the agencies of government. Happiness Lies In One's Earning Living A person enojays a living that he procures by hon est work far more than the one he "sharps out of somebody, or gets it from the public dole. He evert enjoyes the living he earns more than one bestowed upon him, that Is, of course, if he has any honor, pride or decency. 1 - The living earned through honest work is the best one in the world. We are entitled to no other. The Better Course One young man takes the right view of his obliga tions in life. After entering the gates of the United States Military Academy at West Point, with the as surance that he should have a [>erfect education in the art of killing people, and realizing that his office would require him to s|H*nd his life bound up in a system of propaganda for a strong military establish ment and in exalting war, he took the nobler, thought of peace and good will to man, promptly resigned and returned to pursue his studies at the University of North Carolina. Such was the decision of Vernon Ward, jr., of Rob ersonville recently. Perhaps the young man remem bered that twice as many nations have suffered from war preparations as have suffered for want of war preparations, and that the spirit of war has struck the United States a heavy blow. There are still many opportunities for men to do greater service than in war. The Drift Towards Socialism Hraujort Xru'S The opinion seems to be growing in this country that it is the duty of the United States Government to help everybody that thinks he needs help. Relief for the farmers, relief for the bankers, relief for the veterans, relief for the unemployed, relief for the aged and like are being urged on every hand—and practiced to a very considerable extent. Uncle Sam is now supposed to be a sort of Santa Claus with presents for one and all. If he shells out he does not get much praise and if he fails to do it he is lil>erally abused. The fdinders of the republic had no idea that the Federal- government would have to put its linger in every pie in the land. On the contrail rhey were careful to restrict it to rather narrow lines. It was intended that most of the governing should "be" done by he various states and that the individual should have the privilege of working out his own destiny with as little hindrance on the part of 'the govern ment as (possible. These tenets were strongly advo cated by a (political organization of that day known as the Democratic-Republican party and which was headed by Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, James Madison and others. So strongly did this party op pose Federal interference that it even opposed the building of roads and canals by the national govern ment. They probably would have considered any man insane who advocated the giving of mons, food, clothing or anything else to idividuals all over the coutry. What a difference one hundred and thirty years have made. Every state in the union wants Federal aid for roads, ad is gelting it. Vast sums are spent for canals, rivers and harbors, irrigation, public parks, aid for roads, and is getting it. Vast sums are spent Democatic Congressman from Texas actually intro duced a bill providing for the issuance of four billion dollars in paper money which was to be given to vet erans of the war. State's rights about which a big war was fought, so they said, is dead. Ex-President Coolidge says he believes in states' rights and there may be a few others, but they are not much in evi dence. The Republican party never made a fetich of this principle and the Democratic party long since abandoned It. Most folks are not interested in ab stract jf>rinciples; what they want are privileges. Each class or group is trying to get something and evpects the Federal government to give it to them. They do not bother as to where the money is to come from; they want it and want it right now. If the'process of evolution of government continues for the next century, as it has for a hundred years |)jt, everybody in the United States willy either be working for the government or will be eating out of a governmental spoon. In fact this arrangement weuld be much fairer than for half of the population to be receiving the benefits and the other half work ing like blazes to furnish them. Half way socialism U worse than the real thing. If the people want ixc'alism they have a right to have that sort of gov ernment. They ought not to be kept in ignorance though as to what is happening.
