Tuesday, March 3, 1936 Cruelty To Prisoners One of the most tragic cases in the courts of the >tate for a long time was the trial last week of O. M. Pollard and C. 1. Deans, former policemen of Angier, or the killing of F. G. Collins, a farmer who lived in hat neighborhood, on December 24th. The testimony appeared to show that the two po licemen arrested Collins on a charge of drunkenness ind, after they had put him in jail and went out, Col ins cursed them, whereupon they went back into the :ell and, while Deans held a Uaslilight, l'ollard beat the prisoner about the head a dozen limes with a ilackjack, causing his death three days later. Not only is it sad to see a man killed, but when it s done by an officer of the law, whose business it is to see that the law is observed, then it clearly shows :hat some men are not capable of performing their luties. It seems that they cannot learn that every jffender must be adjudged guilty before he can be punished and that only a court of justice has the power to find guilt. No officer can wear enough brass buttons to give him the right to beat up a prisoner,, especially with bludgeons that may kill. In this case, it would seem that the officers were doing some fight ing on their own account, and with a foe who was not able to defend himself. There is hardly anything more offensive than to see an officer handle his prisoners with cruelty. Conservation of Natural Resources The conservation of our natural resources is a sub ject of no little concern, but it is really not so vital as what the wasting of our natural resources will mean The country that has poor land has poor people, tnd any nation that slaughters its timber and permits ts soil to waste away is always poor. It is quite as important to live next year as it is this, and the farm -r who permits the soil to wash away is cheating his >wn posterity. A clear example of the need of conservation can ,e plainly seen in the case of Palestine. That coun :ry has been almost obliterated by many wars. In ?aders have overrun and destroyed practically every ree and the seed thereof, until now it is a bleak, bar en country. In many places the soil is unprotected rom the heavy winter rains, and much of the value if th ecountry has been washed into the sea. l'ales ine now has no trees except the few olives that have >een planted, and perhaps a few ornamental shade nd fruit trees. But for the slaughter of her trees that ountry would doubtless be far more prosperous. Now is the time for our own country to prepetuate ser forests. The land that grows a tree is much rich' j | ?r than the same land would be without the tree. If the barren spots foitnd on most of our farms were planted to some kind of timber trees, the value of the farms would increase very rapidly. An example of properly handling our woodsland can be seen just across the Roanoke River, on high way No. 17, where the National Handle Company is cutting out trees of very little lumber value, selling them for fuel, and planting ash trees in their stead, which reproduce quickly and make very valuable tim ber trees. Truth and Error Men need to learn the difference between truth and error. When we do, we will make fewer mistakes and be decidedly better able to take care of our interesas. It is now only a few years since most North Carolin ians hated Frank McNinch worse than they did a seven-headed devil and worshiped A1 Smith. But, likely most good men, when they find the right, they are quite willing to do it. So now men htfve learned that the "Sidewalks of New York" was a fraud and are ashamed of the Brown Derby. Now they know that A1 Smith would have destroyed the principles of Democracy which they so much loved and erroneous ly thought they were serving. Had Smith won, we would have been set back for more than a quarter of a century, and it would have taken that long to outgrow the stench, slime and disgrace that such an administration would have given us. And now we find McNinch honestly pulling in the traces of democ racy. These things are now all past, and should be for gotten, except as a steady reminder to always seek the right side of thtap before we grab them. I vu ?', ? * ? U Good and Bad Marriages Two preachers were recently overheard discussing good and bad marriages. One remarked that when people used to wed in the good old-fashioned way, and all the folks and friends came out to rejoice with the contracting parties, his experience was that there were fewer divorces then than we now have. The oth er preacher said he did not think that these new fangled "bootleg" marriages, hatched up without ma ture thought, were as safe in producing joy and last ing happiness as the old kind, and that the apparent marriage inspiration so often produced by paints, clothes and silk hose was nearly always unsafe. Those two preachers were certainly dealing with an important and weighty subject. The marriage altar, which opens the floodgates to the wide sea of married life, is far too important to be a|>proached lightly and needs to be given much thought. Marriage should never be entered into un less all parties are willing to go 50-50 in all the joys and sorrows it may bring. And sinrf painted-Up ar ticles are sometimes deceiving, it is unwise to make a life long contract at the first glimpse. It is truly appalling to see the large number of divorces being granted. VVe need to think earnestly before we leap too far. No Speculation for Bankers Forbidding Federal Reserve member banks from dealing in speculative paper is a safe move. If we had had such a regulation in 1929, not many banks would have gone under. Speculation has two sides, an up-side and a down side. The up-side looks good, but the down-side feels bad, and most of the men or institutions that jump into the speculative pool generally lose some and oft-"* en lose all. Bankers should not be permitted to speculate. Defiant Drivers Aews and Observer. The revocation of automobile licenses in this state for dangerous or drunken driving continues under the stimulus of a national determination to cut down the daily death and accident toll. But that mere revocation of a license is not always enough is proved by a case that has just administered a shock to officials in Norfolk, Va. In that city a man whose license had been revoked went on calmly driv ing without it, and in so doing ran down three little children, all of whom were severely injured. It would be interesting to learn how many of the drivers who have tost thei rlicenses in this State are resuming their dangerous careers without any author ity save that of their own sweet will. Some check will have to be put on these defiant or irresponsible persons, for among them may be some whose men tality or nervous constitution is such as to make them candidates for a permanent and everlasting prohibi tion upon driving. It is a question whether a driver who is not de terred by a fine, a jail sentence or a license revocation ought not to face a doctor before he confronts a judge for the second or third time. x Father the law is made ridiculous by their defiance, or they must be taught by treatment in an asylum or imprisonment in a jail that the law means what it says. Is Roosevelt Worth It? Tampa Tribune. The Philadelphia Record, which is not a partisan but a fair and outspoken newspaper, calls attention to the fact that the national debt, in the last three years of Hoover, increased $6,236,000,000, and in the first three years of Roosevelt increased $7,409,000,000? in other words, that Roosevelt has cost the country $1,173,000,000 more than Hoover. "Is Roosevelt worth it?" asks the Record, which proceeds to eluci date: * Many an intelligent American will be shocked when he examines these figures. He has been hearing so much about "Roosevelt, the spender," "billions for boondoggling," "irresponsible waste of national credit," "burdening the future gen erations," that a false impression has been carefully built up in his mind. It is time the American people went off their diet of elephant baloney. It is time the American people stopped being guinea pigs for Republican press agents. Roosevelt, "the spender," has increased the nation al debt a billion more than did Hoover, the economi cal. Has it been worth it? Marriner Eccles, Governor of the Federal Reserve Hoard, finds that the national income has increased more than 15 billions a year during Roosevelt's ad ministration as compared with Hoover's. In a |>eriod of 30 months the national income has increased 37 1-2 billions over what it would have been had the Hoover level continued. A horse that [>ays 37 for 1 is a good horse on any track. For that billion-dollar smaller debt under Hoover we were getting a one-way trip downhill. Conditions were never so black as they were after Hoover had rung up his six-billion dollar debt in crease. Business hasn't been as good in five yeats as it is today after Roosevelt has run up his seven-billion debt increase. And recall that Hoover's deficits were mounting year by year, while Roosevelt's are decreasing. The real waster was Hoover. He wasted the na tion's manpower in idleness, its banks, its homes, its shops, its business, its Income, to "save money." And then didn't save it. We have not seen a more forceful, convincing state ment of the New Deal vs. Old Deal case. This should afford a fertile subject for future "pot laches" of the Flibberty League and its favorite ora tor.
