Address ait communication. The Enterpri.c tn d „ 0 t to the individual unmberi ot the farm Friday, September 15, 1933 Our Nation and Others Americans have spent much time in the past sev eral decades pointing out the defects of other na tions —especially so as to Russia. While we were so busily engaged in criticizing others, our own country was drifting at lightning speed onto the most danger ous rocks that ever destroyed the foundation of any government and did not find ourselves until we were caught on the very precipice of destruction. Of course, we may not think or know that we were in such grave danger. However, we had more than half of the unemployed of the entire world; we fed more hungry folks than any other nation, and we had more financial failure than all of the nations of Eu rope. Although our government was apparently func tioning with ease, its subjects were fast becoming un able to support it We were in the very forefront of the lord and peasant nations. A man's body had no value and could produce no income: and practi cally all of us had nothing to offer except our blood, bone, and brawn, so we were without the power to produce any income. We had operated a government for several genera tions solely for the benefit of investors and disregard ed the rights of man until we reached the point where we had no [Kiwer for good, and, without a change, would have soon collapsed as easily as an eggshell. Fortunately, we caught the point, and seeing the need to restore man to his rightful place, we have be gun to 'rebuild and strengthen our entire system of government. Now we need to support the movement to give men work so they may earn for themselves. Of course, we will have to restrict the work of ma chinery not so long hence, or take it from the hands of private monopolists, who would like to have their machines do all the work that they might get all the profits and let labor starve. We must battle against a monopolistic government and a machine-operated nation. Snide Lawyers Who is responsible for most of the racketeering? We would say it is courts yielding to the blandish ments of snide lawyers, and we would also say that the snide lawyer i*. one of the greatest enemies to decent society. There are many lawyers who think it a part of their duty to a client to suggest needed testimony, and most of the time the client can produce any testimony he wishes by the aid of his gang. When lawyers learn they have no right—in W)e courts of law or in the realms of decency—to permit a client to build up a case on falsehoods, and when they become decent enough lo refuse such business, then we will have less bootlegging, racketeering, and other such crimes. We are told of one lawyer who gets his principal business from a band of bootleggers who are always able to flood courts with alibis. We are also told that practically all of the lighting, cutting, and shooting in that community is from the fruits of that clan's lawbreaking—both of the statutes' and of the rules of courts in false swearing, which is generally a far greater crime than the one they are trying to escape. What we need is lawyers of high ideals; and, of course, a majority of are honorable gentle men, and that is not the class we have in mind when we say the snide lawyer is one of the most danger ous men in any community and is responsible for more crime than the average moonshiner, chicken or hog thief. Of all professions, the lawyer is next to the preacher, and on an equal with the doctor. It is to be regretted that some lawyers count their fees of more importance than justice. What Has Becomes of the Leas? What has become of the famous Luke Lea case? Has Tennessee totally ignored the mandates of the North Carolina courts and annulled the State's requi sition rights by sheltering a felon? This case seems to parallel one in which the Indi ana Governor refused to return the murderer of Gov ernor Coebd to Kentucky some 30 years ago, a case in which a State shelters a political criminal rather than let him pay the penalty of hit crime in another State. The Leas ought to be doing prison service in the North Carolina penitentiary and Tennessee should not be permitted to *Mtw them. "Swill-Swashers" Congress should pass a law as soon as possible for bidding its members in both branches from taking any part in political appointments; forbid them, eith er by deeds or Words, spoken or printed, from recommending any person for a job. And it should go ?ven further and forbid any and all persons from "nagging" Congressmen or Senators, either by buttonholing them, writing, talking, or winking at them, for special favors. The statesmanship and usefulness of nearly every member of the Congress is almost ruined by old run down, worthless, unreliable, incompetent, and, too often, lying; and sometimes thievish, politicians dog ging them for office of one kind or another. Hence practically all some Congressmen can do is to try to nuworthy politicians whose only interest in go\fcrnment is the amount of swill they can suck from it. Let our Congressmen be statesmen rather than swill-swashers. Feeding Lazy Neighbors Federal relief is only temporary, according to re cent statements coming from the President. Of course, that does not mean that those who are not able to take care of themselves from causes over which they have no control, such as blindness, lameness, and disease, will be permitted to starve to death. The folks the President was talking about are those who are willing to claim pains and aches and disaster as a basis for charity. The President thinks, along with all other think ing i>eople, that every man should exhaust his own efforts before he throws himself on charity , and, with the help which has already been extended, and which is now available, every good, prudent man ought to soon be off of the list of the government welfare de partment. The people are the government, and they are not willing to feed lazy neighbors. More Banks Fail Than Churches Bankers say church people are poor business folks. But did you know that ten times as many banks have failed within the past two years as church, and yet there are about ten times as many churches as there were banks when failing began? With that ratio the church solvency is just 100 times greater than bank solvency. This seems to justify the Biblical admonition to the human family to lay up treasure where moth and rust do not corrupt, nor thieves break in and steal. Our greatest failure in life is that we fail to lay up more treasure in the solvent church and stake every thing we can get in selfish investments. The man who makes his investments of service, his very life, his constant deeds, and his substance not only has a safe investment but one that makes him happy along the way. Too Much Freedom Why are so many criminals escaping from prisons these days? We tan hardly think prison custodians are more careless than in former days. It must be that the daredevil spirit has grown until men are will ing to try anything and are testing prison walls and bars at every point. It also seems that every man is a genius these days and can use a hacksaw, a pistol, or climb down a rope Regardless of the reason why so many criminals are breaking out for their freedom, it is becoming to be a very dangerous thing that people cannot trav el the highways nor sit peacefully about their homes at night without being in danger of being killed and robbed by a fleeing criminal. We may l>e making a mistake by granting this class of people too much freedom and giving them the op portunity to make a getaway; Not Trying Hard Enough We wonder if the Government has anybody in the civilian conservation camps who did not fealty need a job. It seems that some of the folks there a/e well connected and amply able to get work; and in some cases these were [Hit ahead of others more needy. We realize that it is very hard to put anything across where politics can come in without just a little bit of favoritism. It is evident that some fellows could easily find other work by trying. The point is, people are not trying hard enough to take care of themselves. Tammany's Oftly Requirement New Yorkers seem to be wrangling over who is to be granted beer privileges. We aer too far distant to know for a certainty. However, if Tammany wins, we afe willing to risk a Iwo-to-one guess that the fellows who offer the biggest graft purse will get the favors. Alcohol always wants to dictate government wher ever it goes, and the only force required in Tammany is a good-sized pocket book. Neighborhood "Major Hooples" Has your neighborhood a "Major Hoople"—a man who has caught the biggest fish, killed the biggest snake, caught the biggest bear, rode the biggest ele phant, and tamed the fiercest lion? Nearly every neighborhood has its "Hoople," and how refreshing it is to have some fellow who is the greatest braggart and the biggest liar in the neigh borhood. Of course, all the neighbors know this fel low, but would it not be the proper thing to badge such a man so that strangers might know of his par excellence in being the best in everything?
