March 13, 1936 The Breakdown in Law Enforcement Two Angicr policemen were convicted of killing a man after they had cast him in prison. They not only performed their duty as (tolicemen, but went further and performed the most dastardly and cowardly deed that man can |ierform?beat a man to death after he was in their power. The jury promptly convicted them. The judge l>assed a rather trivial sentence of two years' impris onment, a sentence which would fit well in a hog stealing case, perhaps, but hardly in keeping with the crime these men committed. The courts seem to stand by and let lawyers free too many felons; and when the lawyers sometimes fail, the judges too often make it easy on the law breaker by furnishing light sentences. Probably the next step will lie a petition to the par don board. The truth is that in our American crim inal procedure there are too many ways of esca|ie, causing life to lie very cheap and crime tti run rampa When our lawmakers pass laws against crime, they measure and weigh crime and its effect on society, and consider the pro|H-r way to restrain and curb crime, which should be a fair guide for the courts and execu tive departments Vet, many times, when the courts and the executive departments get through with the law, it is little more than a tattered rag. Itiis prac tice keeps the country filled with roving, wandering, sneaking murderer;-, rapists, robbers and thieves. Most criminals are familiar with the law and the penalties against crime and know the end thereof is death but they take the chances and depend on men to adjudge their crime and tem|ier their punish ment with mercy. Therefore, they go on from one case to another. We need more folks on the side of right Tobacco Prices This Year What will be the price of tobacco this coming fall? is a live question in the minds of all tobacco farmers just now. And the question is very easy to answer by asking another question: How much tobacco are the farmers going to produce? If the farmers produce a big crop, it is certain the price will be low. On the other hand, if they produce a reasonable size crop, the price will be at least fair. Therefore, the farmer is the only man who ca<i J answer this question. If he chooses to plant a big crop, spend everything he- can get to produce it and work himself and his family to death, he will have low prices and come out behind next fall. If the farmer will take his own experience, reduce his crop, spend less to grow it, take better care of the acres he does plant, he will get more dollars for his small poundage than he will for a big poundage. So it is up to the wisdom of the farmer. Many have kicked and cursed because they could not do as they pleased. Now they are what they have said they wanted to be?free; and it will be seen if they actually know how to handle the situation with their freedom unguided by a thoughtful and willing hand. The Voice of the People The attack by big business against Dr. Frank P. Graham, president of the Greater University of North Carolina, is being met in a noble way by a large number of people who love truth, honesty and fair play. No, the spirit of freedom is not ready to bow down to mammon just yet, and when a group of politicians and grafters attempt to relieve him of the duties as president of the University, they are going to hear the voice of the people in no uncertain terms, and which voice they will not be able to silence. Investigating Lobbying Activities Thai fellow Shouse, head of the American Liberty Leagae, so-called, had much to uy the other day about the Black Senate committee commandeering telegram* on file in telegraph offices to aid its investi gation of the power lobbying activities a few months ago. He pointed out the danger and magnified it many times, giving rise to the thought that possibly Some dark spots in the league activities might be un covered rather than the freedom of the people would ? be threatened The man who has pulled fair with himself and his government won't mind Mr. Black's committee in vestigating his telegrams. In fact, he would welcome an investigation. It is that group of shysters and lobbyists who skin the people and who don't want their telegrams investigated. That group think noth ing of their unethical acts advanced by wire,"air or post use. but the bunch is the first to yell when an investigating committee starts work to uncover un fair practices and advance representative govern ment for all the people. Wealth and combined interests have kept the wires running into the Nation's Capital hot with directions for congressmen and senators to follow for a long time, and no wonder the "flibberty league", protec tor of wealth and damnable practices against the down-trodden is crying to high heaven in an effort to stop the investigation by refusing the committee the use of telegrams that |xiured into Washington by the tens of thousands. Shouse and his league are so decidedly on the side of wealth and its slave drivers, that they are fast becoming recognized as among the greatest reasons why President Roosevelt should continue in office an other term. A Job for the Courts and Others Since going into action late last summer, the en larged North Carolina State Highway Patrol has well demonstrated its determination to make travel safer on our highways and place a true value on hu man life. The records show that the patrol has more than paid its way in a material sense hut also in an other than can be measured in terms of dollars and cents; for, while one can record the deaths occurring on the highways, it is a bit difficult to say just how many are enjoying life today through and by the ef forts of the guardians of our roads. There are. still too many deaths on our highways, but it is safe to say that the number can be lessened by a greater cooperation on the part of the courts and the people with the patrdt. Success or failure, to a decided extent, in making the roads safe rests with the courts and the people, and the cooperation of these two is to be watched closely before the pa trol can rightly lie censured or commended. . Records show that the patrol is doing its part, and in standing at the threshold between death and hap piness on the highways, its members and their of ficers ap|)eal for aid for everyone that their work might prove more effective. That the aid an cooper ation of the courts and the people, in general, in aid ding highway safety work is appreciated is shown by the following letter from Arthur Fulk, Director of Highway Safety Division, to Hon. H. O, Peel, judge of Martin County's Recorder's court; "The writer has noticed with a great deal of in terest and satisfaction the cooperation which your court is givin this Division in cases of violation of the Driver's License Act. It is only by such evident cooperation that this Act can be made effective. "The writer has further noticed that your county has an excellent record in the State showing a large decrease in accidents and fatalities. "It is the desire of this Division to cooperate with you at all times to the end of moving from the high ways of the State those careless and reckless and in elligible drivers who are a hazard to life and prop erty . .. I Gentlemen and Hogs El kin Tribune. This little paragraph from Charity and Children says a lot for the few words employed: "It is mighty hard to make a safe driver out of a man who is not at heart a gentleman. A man who is a real gentleman will violate few rules of motor travel. A road hog is just a hog on the road and it is hard to make a careful driver out of a hog. Many |>eople manipulate the highways safely even though the road is infested with porkers. We sometimes take lime out to marvel at that . . When highway accidents occur, they can usually be charged to somebody's carelessness or indifference to the rights of others. If the foot pressed against the accelerator was always that of a gentleman, there would be a noticeable cutting down on the appalling death toll on the highways. Automobiles, as they are built today, have em braced every element of safety that the manufactur ers can think of, but they are not fool-proof, and in the hands of a don't-glve a-darner they are potential death weapons. To speed is attributed a large portion of the high way casualties, but speed in itself ran be blamed with but few of them. It is when speed is mixed with care lessness and indifference that the undertaker gets a job. PROGRAM FOR WEEK BEGINNING MONDAY, MARCH M Turnage Theatre ? Washington, N.

T A S TE ?MT'f BOUQUET WHMIWTI mm f W*: BODY QUALITY \ALUE IaigktboiImm aama CENTURY DISTILLING CO r*>orm, Illinois lO&wu DON'T BEAD THIS IF YOU ARE CONTENT WITH YOUR TOBACCO YIELDS! IF you are not using Orange, and are in terested in the possibility of getting an extra $40 or $50 per acre for your tobacco, then you should be very interested in Orange. Because, a series of tests by 37 growers on 71 competitive plots, over a four year period just completed, shows that Orange produced an average of $49.40 per acre more in quantity and quality leaf. Now, do a little figuring. Take the number of acres of tobacco you expect to grow. Multiply that by, let's say $40. Isn't that extra money worth trying to get? Thousands of Orange users ? growers like yourself, have been getting better yields with Orange. Some here averaged more than $50 per acre better?some, less. But most of them have been getting back much more than the few dollars extra they pay for Orange. If your results are like theirs, you will make real money with Orange. So, investigate Orange carefully before you place your order. It means money to you. ? ? ? Next to Ormmge, the best tobscco fertilizer yon com buy it Jamace, omr stmmdmrd goods.
