Too Evenly Balanced for Comfort
The Supreme Court of the I'nited States is too even
ly balanced to be comfortable, either to the poor man
>r to the rich man; that is, the man who wants even
hances in government for all legitimate interests on
he one side, and the man who wants business to reign
n government, with |>ower to fix its own profits with
>ut due consideration for the man who performs its
abor, on the other side.
We find five justices standing with and for the peo
>le: Chief Justice Hughes and Associate Justices
Jrandeis, Stone, Roberts, and Cordoza. The other 4
ustices seem to stand for organized wealth and for
?vervthing that it wants to fill its coffers, regardless
if who else may starve. Their rulings are in favor of
he same fellow who wants to say what a dollar shall
>e worth, as well as to say how* thick a slice of meat
i laborer may have. This group calls themselves
'Conservatives," and in a way they seem to be anx
ous to conserve' the rights of wealth and permit the
ich to name the price of the things other folks buy
md sell, as well as name the figures for what they
hemselves buy and sell. This group is composed of
an lrevarifPr."^ifkeynolds, Sutherland, and Butler,
['hey seldom fail to stand with organized wealth, while
he other live put a more reasonable'construction on
lational questions, giving life as much consideration
is they do property,
Democracy vs. Mammon
The greatest fight in all of our government's his
ary is now in progress. The participants are democ
acy and mammon.
Democracy says the great mass of our citizens are
ither hungry, ragged, losing their homes or have al
eady lost them
Mammon says it has not satisfied its gluttony and
j give it more It demands the right to direct all
usiness. fix all the prices, measure and direct all the
alues of money, draw all the interest, and direct the
(resident the cabinet, the congress, and all other
?ranches of the government's business because the
ommon people should not have anything to do or
ay about the power of money, even though they do
ie work that creates the wealth of the world.
There has been no day since the organization of
overnment when the public so much needed to stand
p for and demand democratic government as at the
resent time. If we let the general principles of the
?'ew Deal be destroyed by the money power, it will
ake at least another generation to gt us back to our
resent level.
It is im|x>rtanl that we excuse any apparent errors
i the processes of the New Deal and give those in
harge time to prove their merits; after which we will
nd the wisdom that they contain.
Do not follow the false propaganda teachers, who
epresent the people who have grown gorgeously rich
it the expense of the poor.
Ifixed Metaphors?But You Get the Idea
Well, the news filtering back from the farmers' big
tobacco meeting at Raleigh indicates that Senator
(osiah failed to land safely when he made his grand
iebut in his flirting with the farmers.
The farmers seemed to smell him, even before he
;ot the halter up to their noses.
You see, they have learned to watch him, for they
evidently think he is fishing with the point of his
took hidden.
A Righteous Judgment
It was a righteous judgment of the county court
recently in finding Professor James Uzxle, of James
ville, not guilty on a charge of assault growing out of
the whipping of a school child.
In this particular instance he had whipped a boy
who had assaulted another boy with a knife.
The parents should have thanked the professor,
the school, and the state for having enough interest
in their boy to try to correct him before he reaches a
prison Kate or even an electric chair.
0Be of the great faults of the day is our failure to
properly bring up our children in the way they should
go, a neglect which causes much sorrow and grief
later.
In our system of society we have parents to care
for and train children. They often fail. . Our next
bulwark for good citizenship is the school, where a
broadened line of instruction and management is of
fered, and this often does not succeed as it should.
Leaving the school, we next go out into the wide
world, where we think we can do as we please. Think
ing matters over, and reflecting on the fact that our
parents and the school failed to shape us in the way
we should go, we launch out with a determination to
do as we please, even if it means to knock down, drag
out, kick and stamp, even to rob and kill. So we
soon find the firm hand of the government tightening
down on us and we are landed behind prison bars,
still kicking against the state, the school, and the
home.
We commend the school that properly punishes
:rime in its jurisdiction. These modern mollycoddles
who claim to have found that the child should never
he punished have never proved their point, and per
haps are responsible for a large part of the downfall
hat many young folks of the day are undergoing. It
is the young folks who are going to jail?the same
jnes who have run over father, mother, the*school,
rnd who are trying to run over the state.
Teachers, correct them while they are in a pliable
state, even if it requires the lash.
Human Rights vs. the Constitution
Too much is being said about the "sacredness" of
he Constitution. We, of course, need to respect the
Constitution when it is right and just in its relations
vith the people, hut we submit that it was never in
ended by our forefathers, who fought for liberty and
he establishment of our Constitution, that it would
ver be used to porstitute he rights of man.
ft was never intended to give one kind of business
he right to destroy another kind of business. The
ourts are right in declaring the people should have
>referment over the Constitution.
If there is any one thing that the Constitution
lands for, it is to protect man in his honest endeavors
o perform the duties of an honest citizen, regardless
t whether hf is rich or poor.
And when the Constitution uphold| and exalts prop
rty rights above human rights, then it is high time tu
nodify and change the Constitution.
The Surest Way
dmpson Independent.
Much has been written about how to prevent high
way accidents, and now somebody has written thir
een (unlucky number) rules which will, if carried
ut, bring them about. The prescription suggested
jllows:
"Very few people really crave to have an automo
ile accident, probably no one, unless he wants to com
mit suicide. Well, here's a prescription, not sugar
oated, but the smart driver will detect at once its
alue:
1. Always pass a car when nearing the top of a hill
r rounding a curve when you cannot see ahead.
2. Never watch the other car and never make al
j w a nee for the other fellows poor or careless dfiv
ig. Hefs always sober and wil look out for you.
3. Drive carelessly in traffic, cutting in and out at
till. The roads and streets all belong to you.
4. Never signal with your arm before making a
urn. Others drivers will always slow up without
mowing your intentions.
5. Never look either way before pulling away from
he side of the curb. The traveling public always
mows what you are going to do anyway.
6. Never come to a stop at blind crossings. You
ilways happen along when nobody else is near.
7. Never use your horn. It might run down your
lattery.
8. Never have your brakes tested and let your stop
ight go out. If you need to stop quickly, yau can run
igainst a telephone pole and the car behind you will
lave to stop without seeing your light.
9. Throw out your clutch and slap on the brakes
luickly while turning a wet curve. It'll probably turn
?our car around in the road and give you a nice thrill
ir some in contact with another car and you'll enjoy
he bump.
10. Always pass another car on a railroad cross
ing?you may get there by the time the train does.
11. Always increase your speed just before getting
o a railroad crossing, or you may not hit the train.
12. Ne\% observe traffic signals and stop signs,
rhey are only for your entertainment.
13. Do not keep jmur car in good mechanical con
iition. It costs more than your life is worth.
A Lot of Nothing
*rank Smethurst, in News and Observer.
Now see what the government's spending program
has done.
The Intertype Corporation, an organisation which
leals in typesetting machinery and supplies, reported
he other day that the extraordinary demand for
iphers in the printing trades had completely exhaust
ed the supply normally maintained to meet current
reeds, and it has been necessary to transfer emergency
Lirders to the factory.
At least somebody is buying something, even if it
a a lot of nothing.
