Address all communications to The Enterprise and not to the individual members of the firm Tuesday, December 13, 1932 Low Ideals in Congress Were the ideals of Congress ever at a lower ebb than now? Frankly, we think not. At no time before has our national congress dodged the real issues and sidetracked to a position that has no virtue or truth in it but rather the very fire of graft and destruction. They are willing to listen to the whines and falsehoods of the selfcsh, who have succeeded in fooling the public with false propaganda, and the people, in their poverty and despair, have believed it. Now Cognress is giving every excuse imaginable to defend their position. They say the people want cer tain things, and they are for whatever the people want. That is always the course of the politician. On the other hand, the statesman will not take such .*4 course, because he will give the people the things they need, which is the distinction between, the. poll-, tician and the statesman. The prudent father will not «*ive his child li s .vatch nor razor. But Congress will give the pep e any thing they want for votes, even if it is fire auJ sin and misery. If you have votes, Congress will find a way to dodge the issue and work for votes. See how they cock their ears to the beer barons and bow to the lash of alcohol. Conscientious Work Nesded It is extremely gratifying to hi ir tejcim's say they have more conscuuti HIS ••.UV. » than they itave had formany years. Cunsc.unioUK honest hard work is the shortest way ut of iur'}' e iy,t il 1 nima. Our boys and girls h >■ '■ i ngi able things \\e have lad A V hi;. dozen years. They have had I «. . y thai th n . Uei ed their thinking ab.ou.t thv u ;,oTfsb:2t jp of iff. The schools will lie ••iii i\ :si !.i ti ; ,no iuging our folks to their senses But th. sc'iooi. must change. They must leave the ideals and face the cold stern facts that people have had to face in every age of our history. So the thing we need to do now is to plead with our children to look at life as it really is and frankly tell them that their future prosperity is very dark and their liberties are in danger. We need to build a conscience that will realize the respon sibility of self-preservation of our charater and of our rights to live and move with other men, honestly bear ing our part of the responsibilties of home and state, and demanding a fair share of the blessings of state and society. Lntil the school children of the country come to a deeper realization of their responsibilties, we can not hope to march in the right direction to safety and happiness. Where The Surpluses Come From That old falsehool of overproduction regulating prices exclusively is about to lose its force. All one has to do to see that it is false is to go to any Red Cross station in the United States and see wotpen and children crying and praying for flour and cloth ing. And if these people were properly fed aid clothed the cotton speculators and gamblers would find no surplus cotton and wheat. We admit that we have more cotton, corn, and wheat, potatoes, shoes, meat, and practically every other commodity than this poverty-stricken age can buy, but not more than they need. The fact is we have very little too much of any needed thing. The surplus all comes about because we have so little money. Increase the volume of cash, and you will see the surplus fade away and chil dren will stop crying of hunger. Plan Well for 1933 It is highly important for every American citizen to plan well for 1933, which we are so soon to see. There are still a few folks who are ignorant enough to stake their fortunes on the experiences of 1919, when things were at their highest. While there are some who don't know what to do and Who are ready to give up and try to ride charity— and unless all signs fail, millions expect to float on the tide next year without attempting to put out an PUBLISHED ivn« TUESDAY AMI rniDAV oar, wh'ch, of course, dooms them to despair, rags, hi nger and cold, which are certainly coming to those vh> fa 1 to try. uest'nn is, what is the best thing to do, and hat m st w: do to save ourselves? We have the i iid.rrd, the tenant, and the home owner; then we h..ve :he town laborer and a great host of trampers jnd r. .archers. some wanting to work and some who w1: n-.t work. All these folks have a problem. W'h le th'f Ls not a local condition, it has about Hl.li u the jioint of seli-preservation and survival o e;.dj one for himself. So far as the city dweller without a job is concerned, his state is the worst by far. The small-town fellow, under the Same circum stances, has a better showing, because he is near the aid nd the forest, which will yield him food and iCi. nrjii we do? Since tie landlord and the tciiu-i. nave each reached the point where they can make no money farming. Will it not be Wisdom to switch to crops that will insure a living? Of course, we need money, But we need food worse. For that reason, why not switch from money crops to feed and food crops? When landlords stop buying fertilizers and furnish ing tenants to make money crops, they will be doing a sa.e thing for themselves, and when they increase the number of their tenants and put in big acreages in food crops, and plant fewer acres in what was once considered money they will increase the price of such crops, get more money and make some profit. As to both the man who has been a tenant and the man who has been a laborer, whether a city dweller, a town resident, or a country citizen, he had better get himself a plot of land and go in the farming busi ness as soon as possible. It is his best chance to get off and stay off of the beggar's list; and many who are not Beggars now are going to be on the list if they continue to depend on cash jobs for a living. In the South any respectable, honest citizen can work out a living of some kind, if he will stick to the job. It may not be as easy or as good a living as we like, but it will beat the beggar's list. Now is the time to get our fighting clothes on if we are to whip hunger, cold, and rags in 1933. A Reynolds Machine! What? Elizabeth City Independent. From Charlotte comes press reports of the organi zation of a Bob Reynolds Machine to take the place 0 t 1 e famous S'mmons Machine that was kicked into th ri scard in the campaign of 1928. The success of llu'i mbe bob with his Wet, Vet, Socialistic cam- P>'- flu* th past summer and fall has gone to his h.a.i, lit n■.■alls how Senator Furnifold M. Simmons bull tip a Machine which controlled North Carolina for t irty and odd years, and seeing no (jne else aspir ■ ■ I Mach ne leadership in North Carolina, husky 1- !» t'iers tl.e patronage seekers about him and plans K' bif. bvs n North Carolina, uinlk b had better watch his step. It is . ibli ui.ii i.t owes his phenomenal success in 1 y cair.p! not so much to his own popularity ti. I e diSiiuitent of the jx'ople with the old order J i iis. To the vast majority of people in North Sen ('am Morr son liad come to repre 4Ti>. . i .rum the old political order. Votes • e IIL Ids were very often just votes against Mor ou Foi I'eynolds to now attempt the role of dic > tun r'w Democratic party in North Carolina i or Reynolds to invite ignominous defeat when he c. mes up for reelection six years hence. North Caro lina is done with Machines and Machine politicians. 11 rang down the curtain on Simmons in 1928, it dis carded Cam Morrison in 1932, and Elizabeth City's Ehringhaus almost lost the governorship on Novem ber Bth because Dick fountain et al had put out word that Ehringhaus was a Machine man. Woe unto any man who attempts to set himself up as a political bgss in North Carolina. North Caro linians have lost faith in politicians and are coming more and more to regard the selk-seeking, patronage controlling politician with contempt. The politician who expects to retain the support of anything like a majority of North Carolina voters henceforth has got to show North Carolinians certain qualities of states manship. And, in passing, I must say that if Bob Reynolds Elizabeth City henchmen are fair speci mens of his organization throughout the state, then God help North Carolina. • Hungry for Work ""* >■ New York World-Telegram. There are those who say scornfully of the unem ployed: "They wouldn't work if they had a chance." An answer to this was given by 1,450 unemployed men last Tuesday morning. The director of the City Home Relief Bureaus had received a call from the State Emergency Relief Administration for 1,000 men to do heavy outdoors work in Palisades Park through the winter. The pay was to be $4 aMy for three days a week—ll2 a week. To make sure of the 1,000 the call was sent to J 1,500. These were to appear at the ferry at 6 o'clock * in the morning. By 4:00 a. m., two hours of t.me, 250 men were present. By 4:30, an hour and a half ahead of time, and with the cold night air swishing around their legs, 1,450 of the 1,500 men i notified were in line. Many of these were white col I lar workers, men used to offices all their lives. They were told of the rigors of the outside work. But not one dropped out of line. The luckless ones—4so of them—were asked to ! show up at the Home Relief Bureaus in the afternoon on the chance that work might have turned up. After nr.oii they began pouring ia. Before nightfall a new i fd r rom the State Relief Administration had come, yiov u.ng places for most of the 450.
