November IS. 1935 Starting at the Top It very gratifying to learn that at least one gam bier is having to come to the bar of justice for his misdeeds. Governor Clyde L. Herring, of Iowa, will have a warrant served on him when he returns to Ikes Moines this week Irom Si Paul, where he went to deliver a hog to (iovernor Floyd B. Olsen, t>f Minne sota. to pay a wager between the two governor over the lowa-Minnesota football game. Iowa having lost. Governor Herring took a 260-pound hog from his herd to Governur Olsen s office and paid off the l>et The penalty for violation of the gambling laws in Iowa may be J500 line and 1 year in jail. Here in our own s|ate, county, and town, people promiscuously and open-handedly bet on games, and yet 110 legal restraint is invoked. No breach of law is committed so frequently as the gambling law, and there are few laws worse enforced. A strange thing it is, too Every legislature in every state in the Union has alwav legsislated against gambling and pro viding substantial penalties. Yet that seems to end it all. as nobody is ever punished, and gambling is generally regarded as a joke. There seems to be no way to foretell the cause ol America's ultimate downfall. It may be cauSed in a spirit of fun and disobedience to the law of the land, or of the moral law. At any rate, we need not expect to stabilize our [msition by o|>en and common gam bling. Its whole tendency is downward. In this re spect \it is like alcohol -it has no virtue whatever to commend it. And Iowa has started at the right place?taking the governor first. In Favor of Lawbreakers The latest is that bandits and gangsters are chal lenging the right of the government to pass laws mak ing kidnapping a crime and also claiming that the government has no right to prohibit the sale of fire arms. They seem to think that the constitution up holds an individual in committing crime on the j?er sonal liberty section. They also seem to think that when a gang invades a home and steals a child, gold, silver, or other property, and dashes off with it to any place they may claim as a residence that pursu ing officers cannot get them the moment they enter the place they call home; and men who commit crimes daily, even of a minor nature, plead the sanctity of the home, even when it is used for no legitimate resi dence. This has been the case in liquor law violations, gambling cases, as well as in many other types of law violations. The courts have so far ruled that they cannot Ire molested under such circumstances until the officer procures a warrant, and making the offi cer go often 25 and frequently 50 or more mile to secure a warrant, giving the murderer, the kidnapper, the gambler, or the liquor law violator every oppor tunity to make a getaway. This puts the government at a great disadvantage in carrying out the provisions of the law. Some provision should be made whereby the gov ernment's officers can have an equal showing with the criminal, which has generally not-been the case in the past. The officer, who is generally reliable, is too frequently subjected to many indignities by some out landish liar about improper treatment. Thomas Jefferson said the constitution would have to be changed frequently to meet the needs of changes in the country. He was certainly right, and perhaps the first change needed is to give honest people as much protection as it does robbers and thieves. No body denies them all the rights of a fair trial in the courts, yet the construction of the constitution that permits them to escape the courts is altogether wrong. Being Fair With Business ?? >a Yea; things are better from a business standpoint, though there are thousands of people trying to make believe that business is just as bad as ever. A recent report of 184 leading industrial corpora tions of America shows a net gain for the first nine months of 1935 over 29.6 per cent of the same period in 1934, which is a very healthy gain indeed. The grfin for the third quarter of this year over last year was 36.3 per cent, which shows that not only it the president a friend to farmers and laborers, but he Is also fair and honest with big and little business, as well. Put First Things First Will matt on has a beautiful ball park and athletic building. They cost a lot of money and cause the waste of much time. But we have a very' poor cemetery . It was very noticeable Wednesday, when the governor of the state and his wife attended the burial of her brother. There were also a number of other visitors and strangers from other places. The scene of mud, bushes, and briars had a ten dency to make Williamston citizens stoop as if in an attitude of prayer, so that the strangers and the gov ernor would fail to see the neglect of the cemetery. We would like to see this town take more pride in its ancestry and give those who have gone on before us a little more honor by diverting our minds from so many of the frivolities of life. There seems to be no way of telling just how foolish we people are; at any rale, we seem to have lost all of our civic pride. The Kind of Judges We Need We would certainly like to have some American judges like Justice Atkinson, of the English bench. He was perfectly frank sin his decisions. He told truthful witnesses that they'were truthful; he like wise told at least one that the case showed beyond question that he had not hesitated to lie in what he considered to be the interests of the corporation which he represented. The same condition has applied in nearly every big tax case in America. Not only do some witnesses falsify in their testi mony, but they actually tell the courts it is none of their business how the business is run. Even though it is shown that they are unscrupulous and dishonest, they generally have their own way. For the People at Large The announcement recently made by Senator George W Norris that he will retire front the Con gress of the United States after serving for a third of a century will be rgretted by tnany thousands of peo ple, because his record shows that he has been witli the people at large. While he is listed as a Republican in his party af filiations, he has always been democratic in his actions and has always fought monopoly by special interests He was of the type of men who will go down in his tory as statesmen and not as "business' Senators, who perform as henchmen for special friends, who in turn profit by their works and votes. Bridge and "Heavenly Hash' It has been a mystery for a long time tiynarty peo ple why the game of bridge so engrosseyfc many oth er people men and women, but mostly women. No body seems to be able to understand why a mother will leave her home and crying, sick children and go out and |terch herself beside a bridge table and lis ten to gossip for a half day, and vhen dark comes on, have to stop playing and run home, where a hus band is trying to pacify hungry and sleepy children, who have to wait until the heat can be turned on and something warmed up to satisfy the gruff but patient husband and quiet the bunch of hungry children. The only satisfaction is to look over a little 15-cent prize that the wife and mother won at the bridge game, and explain how dumb Mrs. A and Mrs B ire, and little they know about bridge, and how foolishly they bid their cards We confess, however, that we have recently gath ered some new thought on the subject. In reading an article on a bridge game, we learned that the hostess served many fine eats and drinks, with the main item n the refreshments being listed as "heavenly hash." So now we can understand why the great attraction for bridge. Certainly all people crave such a dish. So, husband, don't fuss, and children, don't cry, while mama is eating "heavenly hash." A. B. C. Board a Misnomer The price of bootleg liquor is up just 100 per cent. It is understood that the price before the A. B. C. stores were opened was 25 cents a pint; now the same liquor costs 50 cents per pint. The quality is said to be much better than the liquor stores' 65 cents a pint liquor, and it is also said that the old topers much prefer it to that being sold at the liquor stores and are sticking to it just as in the days of old. It is also said, and doubtless truthfully so, that the caption "A. B. C. Store" is wrong, as it does not con trol liquor. "A. B. C." is supposed to represent Al coholic Beverages Control. Yet it never has, nor nev er will, control liquor. For when alcohol was made, it went out into the land?just like the devil did?to destroy, not to bless, and it brooks of no control in any form. Evidence of the destructive power of alcohol was very plain around VYilliamston over the week-end; a glance at the wrecked cars and cuts and bruises on people t>eing sufficient to convince anybody. Of course, we do not say that these things were all caused by A. B. C, liquor; it might have been from bootleg. However, liquor has the same ill effect, regardless of the source from which it comes. It destroys just the same. All you have to do to see its terrors is to look itVto the faces of wives, mothers and children. Dangerously High Speeds Askevillt Citizen. Little by little the country is beginning to appre ciate that the base cause of so many automobile fa talities is the fact that automobiles are now capable of speeds which are dangerously high ... It is our opinion that the slaughter will continue until it is realized that safety on the highways is not be to had until the speed mania is definitely brought in check. Harvest Soybeans For Feedings Hogs Soybeans which have been grown with corn will yield a better profit I when harevstod, as compared to leav ins the beans in the field to be gleaned by hogs. , Harvesting the beans is much bet ter than turning hogs into the field to eat them alter the corn has been removed, said L. W. Anderson. Per quimans County farm agent, j For a number of years, he said, i farmers in that county have been {growing soybeans with their corn, but did not try to harvest the beans, 'since the cornstalks prevented the use of a harvester. I Many of the growers were satis fied, as the beans improved the land and provided feed for their hogs {without reducing the corn yield. Eut some of the more thrifty farm ers noticed that seed from most va rieties of soybeans do not remain in the pod long after they become ma . tu re. They fall to the ground, ab sorb moisture, swell, ferment, and lose their feed value. The fermented beans frequently {cause stomach disorders, especially I in young pigs. With this in mind, some of the It ading farmers began harvesting the corn as soon as it matured, and cut | ting down the stalks. With the {stalks out of the way, they were able to save the soybeans with a harvester. In this way, they are able to se jcure a normal crop of corn and of | beans from each field, Anderson i brought out. Moreover, he said, harvested beans {can be crushed into meal and the j oil removed. i Dry meal is preferable to whole | beans as hog feed, for it does not I produce soft, oily pork. Says Wrong To Feed Hogs Before Killing Hogs should not be efd at all for at least 24 hours before they are killed, but should have plent of fresh water. In this way the animal gets rid of the contents of the stomach and intestines and insures a good bleed when the animal is slaughter ed. The mast will also cure better when the email blood vessels are free from food products and blood. The animal rftould never be excited or overheated before killing, as this produces a feverish condition whcih prevents proper bleeding and causes the meat to sour while in cure Salvage Part of Tobacco Destroyed by Hail Storm When tobacco growers of the Pate town section of Wayne County had their crop destroyed by hail this summer, they reffertilized the tobac co, selected the best suckers for giowth and sold some of the leaf this fall for $40 a hundred. a THE LETTER-BOX Editor Enterprise: Dear sir: In a recent issue of your papers an article appeared under the heading of 'Holiness Preacher Afraid To Leave Church for Fear of Being Whipped." I am very sure your ar ticle was put in the very best of faith. However, it is an error in one respect, as the said D. O. Bowen re ferred to as the preacher in your aiticle, is not a Holiness preacher. He was exocmmJnicated by the Holiness church more than two and a half years ago for failure to meet his obligations or debts. Respectfully submitted, N. T. HARRIS Williamston, N.
