Tuesday, February 6, 1934 Duty of Every One To Help The President is hitting big licks every time he raises ihe axe. This time he has told ihe politicians to keep tHeir mouths out of and their hands off of the relief works. In the "News Behind the News" on February 2 it was shown that some Congressmen and Senators have been sending orders back home to put certain friends on the payroll—a thing that should be frowned upon by all fair-minded people. The President is credited with saying to the State directors, "We want you to be absolutely hard-boiled if you know any person within your own state who is trying to get political advantage out of human needs, and you will have the backing of the Administration 1.000 per cent, even if you hit the biggest politician in the United States on the head in carrying out this general program." No one can deny the difficulty of the enormous task which the government has had in carrying for ward an emergency program on such a large scale without facing many problems. Under circumstances of this kind, it is the duty of every person to lend all the aid possible to make the best of conditions. Yet many people grab for all they can get, others never lend a hand to help and do nothing but criticize. It is the duty of every person to help all they can in emergencies of this kind. , War Talk in the East There is considerable war talk in the Far East. While war may be doubtful, there is scarcely any doubt about the fact that Japan has had her eyes on eastern Russia and her outlet to the sea on the east. Her purjx>se evidently was to pinch Russia and then steal a piece of territory in the same manner as she did in China recently, and gradually slice off a piece just to suit herself. Japan liked the idea of the war sick nations of the earth talking peace, while she played war over on the other side of the world. But while she was filling her lockers and grinding her knives preparatory to slaughtering Russians, be hold, the United States recognized Russia and now we are friends. We know, too, that Japan had rather own California than to own half of Russia. For that reason Russia and the Cnited States will very likely be partners in any Japanese war that may come for many years. L War in the near future depends largely on the Japanese guess as to their power. If they feel stout enough to carry their points, either by bombs or bluff, we may have war; on the other hand, if the foe seems to be too big for her 'japan will probably draw in her horns. \ No country in Europe is likely to go into war un less she is forced into it. They are too sick from past wars to launch out on another at this time. Boy Scouts Deserve Support What has become of the Boy Scouts here? Why are we neglecting the boys? Who is neglecting the boys? What can we do for our boys that will count more for good every day in life than a good course in Scouting? They certainly do not learn to cyrse or fight in the Scout camps. They do learn to be man nerly, obedient to their superiors, manly to their equals, and sympathetic and kind to their inferiors. In short, the Scout teachings are just the things that every boy needs to make him a good honorable man. The boy who goes to the Scout meetings regularly seldom has to run from the sheriff. But what are we doing about it? Are we living with our boys and leading them in the right paths, or are we letting them drift? It will only cost a few dollars in money and a little time to help the boys in their Scouting work. It is a good way to spend our time and our money. * J Death Penalty ior Kidnapping South Carolina can generally be depended cakin emergency cases, so that state has been first group of Mates to make the crime of kidnapping punishable by the death penalty. Kidnapping is doubtleaa a greater crime in many **y* than murder, and with the growing tendency to kidnap, a few electrocutions or hangings will do food. Seed Loan Practically Assured The seed loan fund is now practically assured for this year, since it has passed the senate aod will aoon pass the house, it is thought. So far the government has done no greater work for the aid of the needy than through the seed loans made in previous years. These loans have helped thousands of take care of themselves, when they would have become "drifters" without this help. ' It is thought that the loans will be made on an even more conservative basis this year than at any previous time. Formerly practically anybody was counted worthy of a loan. In the future it is thought, that borrowers will have to stand a more rigid inquiry as to their ability to produce and their willingness to pay their obligations. The loans will also be made only for the purposes designated in the bill—that is for seed, fertiliier, and feed, and not for any other purposes. A lot of those people who are clinging to the CWA ought to go to the seed loan authorities and try to launch out $o make something to feed and clothe themselves and their families. Foot-Note Greensboro Daily News In all fairness, it may be that a sort of foot-note should be appended to the discussion of Judge Shaw's observation anent the publication of crime news as it appeared in these' columns several days ago. The jurist, charging the Lincoln County grand jury, ob served that "if newspapers would discontinue the pub lication of crime news I believe it would do more than anything else to curb crime." By way of possible emendation, it is hereby record ed that there are various classifications under which crime news may fall. For instance, there is, on the one side, that type which deals with the apprehen sion of criminals, their conviction in the courts, the payment which society exacts for their misconduct, and the fate to which they are subjected in the peni tentiary or the electric chair. Here are factors, cir cumstances, which surely are calculated to disillusion prospective and potential criminals, to exert a detract ing influence upon the spread of crime and the crim inal movement. There is, on the other hand, the type of crime news which deals with escape of kidnapers, murderers, highwaymen, and other offenders, the inability of the law to cope with them, the maze of technicalities and loopholes through which arch criminals evade punish ment, the delay which is encountered in the court*,, the failure of juries to convict, the disgracefully light sentences with which offenders sometimes get off, the failure of the enforcement and judicial agencies to function after a fashion which strikes fear in the heart of a man who is moved to crime, reflects the majesty of the law or bids for the support and cooperation of a respectful citijenry. These deficiencies are not the fault of the man on the news or copy desk, other than the proportionate khare of civic responsibility which even he as a citi zen carries. The news dement is there just the same. Added to news value is the pertinnt question of how or an officialdom might be aroused to cor rective steps if these weaknesses, defects and fail ures were kept under a bushel, banned from the pub lic prints, rather than broadcast in all their noxious ness. An unadvised public opinion is necessarily a vapid public opinion. If crime is encouraged by crime news, whose fault is it? Wherein lies the weakness? Max Gardner Lobbyist Rocky Mount Herald. It is recognized not only here in North Carolina, but throughout the country, that Max Gardner has become one of the most successful lobbyists in Wash ington. His friends claim that he surpasses all North Carolina lawyers, living or dead, in the amount of money he is making. His takings fom his lobbying practices are estimated at $150,000 per year. Gardner's removal to Washington was well planned for the building up of a lucrative lobbying practcie. Catching Cameron Morrison in a desperate contest for the Senatorship, he procured his own selection as Democratic National Committeeman. There follow ed publicity designed to create the belief that Presi dent Roosevelt wanted him candidate for Vice Presi dent, then for Secretary of Agriculture, then for Am bassador to Cuba. All this aided in his procurement of employment as a lobbyist. Gardner went to Washington as the Roosevelt ad ministration began. He had the political prestige of National Committeeman. He was publicized as an intimate friend of the President. Even now, after President Roosevelt has rebuked lobbyists seeking to capitalize on their position, that claim of influence and intmacy with the President continues to be made in North Carolina. Undoubtedly Gardner has succeeded in his plan to become a successful Washington lobbyist. The daily press reports that he represents the textile and rayon interests and the International Mercantile Marine. No doubt fat fees from other special interests come to him. Although never regarded as a leader of the North Carolina bar, Gardner has superb qualities for suc cesa as a lobbyist. The special interests know how favorable he was to them as Governor. He has the disposition, the experience, and the aptitude which fit him to render the kind of service they require. He has a genial personality. His parties, accounts of which are carried in the press, will be attractive, for he makes a hospitable and engaging host. As the work of a lobbyist is of a nature requiring these per sonal contacts, it is not surprising that he can enormous fees. Then, too, he wilt be, outwardly at least, for the New Deal just as long aa he can serve his own or his clients' Interests by being for It. THE ENTERPRISE NOTICB North Carolina, Martin County.
