Tuesday, April 10, 1934 An Object Lesson Why did Joe Davenport Icill his wife and accident ally wound a child, and why has Martin County and the United Mates Government had to feed this fam ily for a considerable length of time, and why will public agencies have to feed and clothe five small children for years and perhaps for life, and why will the county have to try a man for his life on a mur der charge? There may be more than one reason, but by far the greatest reason was want of education and cul ture. Of course, the incompatibility of a marriage be tween a 20-year old woman and a 70-year-old man contributed to unhappiness Yet the main thing was ignorance. For generations, the forbears of parties to both sides of the tragedy were denied the oppor tunity of an education. They were never able to look across the broad fields of life and comprehend the beauties and joys that a true knowledge of things that surroundus on every'hand, which have been given us for our joy and happiness, enabling us to ship to the end that the world may be better tomor row than it is today. * In cases where men and women can neither read nor write, and where they are forced back" ty live in remote, sections with-few opportunities for enlarge ment of their souls, the mind has no chance to rise above the jealousies and (jetty annoyances of life, forcing the mjnd to dwell too long on things that pro duce every hatred and base passion. Two educated generations behind these people would have more than likely prevented all or most of this trouble; and, in stead of a generation of unhappy, dissatisfied, sus picious restless people?which is the type that crowds the courts?we would have a picture far more beau tiful and wholesome. Do not fail to educate if you would have the most values in life. Go Forward Dr. Wirt seems to be making but feeble progress with his charges that the New Deal is the Idea of a "brain trust," with the purpose of fostering bolshe vism and communism. The people at large have already answered the doc tor's false accusation by expressing how well they like the fruits of the "brain trust." They say it works so much better and gives so much more benefits and happiness than the "heartless trusts" that have had - them bound soul and body (or so long. The Roosevelt "brain trust" is no greater than the lilorgan "money trust." The only difference is the Roosevelt brand knows how and does things for the people as a whole, while the Morgan gang's brand is to take from the people all they have and pack it in their own selfish coffers. Another difference is that the Roosevelt brand uses both brains and heart, while the Morgan brand is using all brains and no heart, which Is not good for us. Folks, don't fall out. Stand in line; the fight is not over. Go forward. Expanding the Currency Congress will make a mistake if it fails to pass the bill directing the expansion of the currency. We are trying to do business with too littel money? the same amount we had 25 years ago, when we were doing possibly half of the amount of business we are doing today. Wit the proposed issued of new money we will stof isuing bonds and boost business in every line?excepl the business of big business squeezing little business And it will stop that kind of business to a large ex' tent. Watch the Kickers Some folks say the President la destroying democ racy and ruining business. Watch those fellows! On the other side of the question are the buainea facts which prove that practically every business ii the United States is very much better since the Roose veil New Deal has been in operation. * Do not be disturbed when Roosevelt is at the whet of the abip of state. He is in to help the country. Th fellows that are whining are the fellows he kidte out. Unfortunately, however, they had almost ruin? the country through their sefliahnaas before Roosevel get lis chance at < The Relief Problem The emergency relief question can he let tied in one way, and that is by setting up a permanent relief plan or system, which will require the government's help and advice for a long time to come. Yet the more important thing is for each man to do his part toward working out his own relief; and unlets the people at large do their utmost in the mat ter, the result will be sad indeed. More and more each day, the great industrial cen ters are finding themselves uvercowded with people who have no hope of a job and no earthly means of earning a living. These people will never be able to transfer or transplant themselves into places of self support without the active and long support of the government. Our government has spent billions of dollars to take ! care of emergency relief work during the past few months, and still most folks, except those in agricul I turaf sections, are just as hungry as ever. The next qutstion is Can the government continue to borrow money to care for its large army of non ! producers!1 Certainly, it is out of the question to go ! for long in the present way. Then the next and only steps is to get these people on a producing basis some where just as soon as possible, and there are but two ways to do It. Drtris to tun all the machines out of the shops and all the two-borse plows out of the field. The other way is to get these folks out of their city hovels and into the open country on small farms where they can dig their own existence out of land that has never produced anything except grild grasses. Can they get such homes? The answer is no; un less some individual friend or the government pro vides it for them. The first is impossible, because we have few friends than can give us an equipped farm. What should the government do to provide homes for the needy and be safe? The people with the gold say borrow money from them and build the homes. The public, when they do any thinking, say we owe you bondholders already four dollars for every actual dol lar in existence, which is overstraining our dollars too much, and suggest the better way is going to the presses and printing five to ten billions of dollars, building homes and selling them to homesteaders on long terms and retire the greenbacks as the interest and principal is paid on the homes, which will not tax the people at large a cent to pay interest and prin cipal to the few bond-holders. There are two things the government can not do. One is to pay interest on many more tax-free bonds. The other is to carry the great load of public charity which it is now hiirdened with . .? The thing to do is to issue new money, build homes for the needy, take their mortgages, and retire this . money jxilh the- payments on|the mortgages. As it now is the only way to retire these non-taxable gov ernment bonds is by taxing the people. Ten billions of dollars will furnish about five million homes, which would care for about twenty-five million people. And this will almost certainly be necessary within the next ten years. When the government makes a large issue of money, no matter whether gold, silver, or paper, it will make land and hogs and cattle all worth more and loosen the grip of the gold-hoarder and bond holder on the throat of our business system. An Example of Selfishness We arc anxious tt> know if able-bodied men, veter ans of a few months' service in the Army or Navy? in many instances only a few weeks' service?will urge the government to pay them bonuses and pensions and hospitalization service while millions?a large proportion of them women and children?go ragged and hungry? It looks like a small thing in a brave man for him to ask his country to help him first, while the needy stand in tears. Going too far will eventually cause the brave fellow to lose his self-respect, and it is al ready evident that the respect of others for him is waning. The politician who yields too many favors to the few and heaps unnecessary burdens on others may find trouble ahead some day. Let the government pay the needy veterans, take care of those injured in the service, and look out for his widows and orphan children?but play fair and stop paying on manufactured diseases and lazy claims made by able-bodied men. What Do You Think? Smilkficld Herald. Your own attitude toward others and the world in general plays an important part in making cm) or difficult your path through life. Much depend! on how you see things and what you think, whethel it be right or wrong. The following from an ex change, under the caption, "As a Man Thinketh," ii a classic worth passing along: If a man thinks every one is against him, he wil soon begin to treat them so, and they will be. If hi thinks every one is his friend, he will unconsciously treat them as such, and they will soon be his friends The man who lives his daily life according to the formula has in his make-up a philosophy that wil make his life brighter. If we put into all the rela tions with our fellows a full measure of friendlines and good will, we are pretty sure to get it back, ful and overflowing. On the other hand, if a man it sui picious of everybody, every one will be suspicious ? him. The man who goes about looking for a light I sure to licked some day, good and plenty. True friendliness is founded on sincerity. And sii cerity is about the only thing in this world that can be counterfeited. The impulse toward friendlinet springs from the very spul of man. The world needs friendliness, and kindness, an good will; not on Sundays only, but every day tn tl week and every hour of the day. Think friend! thoughts. Put your faith in men. Believe they at your friends and they will be. NOTICE or SALE Under and by nrtM of the power of sale contain** in thai certain daed of tract executed to the endnngned traatec by W L.
