Crusading?Then and Now
The Biblical statement that "men flee from their
sins because their deeds are evil" is still true.
This was shown in the recent court trial on an in
junction secured by William Randolph Hearst against
the United States Senate in an endeavor to vacate a
Senate order directing the Western Union Telegraph
Company to turn ovr all the Heart telegrams for the
committee's use in investigating Heart's activity in
fraudulent transactions. Hearst sought to keep his
pets under cover so that the public would not know
about his vile and fraudulent activities.
The District of Columbia supreme court held that
the Senate body is above the nation's courts. The
committee immediately got down after the various
New Deal enemies, especially the group calling them
selves "Liberty Leaguers" and "Crusaders."
The "Crusaders" is an organization composed of
a gang whose purpose is far more cruel and oppres
sive than the Crusaders of the eleventh and twelfth
centuries who, claiming to be Christians, were noth
ing more than murderers and looters seeking to cap
ture Palestine, kill the people and seize their wealth.
Thy were so anxious to run things that they slew
200,000 Jews and flooded Kedron with their bolod.
Of course, the DuPonts and their allied friends are
doing just as bad. They are trying to poison the pub
lic mind with the money they made out of war profits;
and, if their plans succeed, the hand of darkness will
not only choke the American spirit but the world's
opportunity as well. The wealth of a few Americans
has seemed to make them think of themselves as did
the Roman Crusaders, who felt they had the divine
right to run over and trod down all other people.
The Liberty League, the Crusaders, the Economy
League, the Taxpayers League, and the United States
Chainber of Commerce are all one. They are com
posed of the organized wealth of the country and
their sole purpose to try to fool the people by falsify
ing so that our government will again fall into their
greedy hands.
If there has ever been a day in our American his
tory that we needed to be careful to remain free from
the greedy and unholy hands of wealth, it is now.
The liberty that the Liberty League and Crusaders
offer is the same liberty that a lion gives a lamb when
lie catches it alone in a forest.
Ten Commandments
The 5,000 young women students at Boston Uni
versity have adopted ten commandments that every
cshool girl in the country should learn and obey,
which will save them many blushes, embarrassments
and sorrows. In brief, they are:
1. Thou shalt never allow a stranger to take you
to your destination.
2. Thou shalt never drink in public.
3. Thou shalt not sit out dances in cars.
4. Thou shalt not be seen with young men who
are not careful to obey conventions in viciety.
5. Thou shalt not use a pet phrase in conversation.
6. Thou shalt use discretion in using slang.
7. Thou shalt not pat or nudge a person when
speaking to one, keep your hands to yourself.
8. Thou shalt never go to a man's apartment alone.
9. Thou shalt not indulge in careless affections.
10. Thou shalt not powder your nose on the street.
Optimism
News and Observer.
Speaking at a school meting held at the University
of Pennsylvania last week, Dr. Robert*C. Clothier,
president of Rutgers University, gave an interesting
statement of the functions and duties of the modern
leacher. He said:
"It is our responsibility to further catholicity of
viewpoint and to end this present provincialism which
it a throwback to the Middle Ages; to create a new
respect for law and that integrity in government
which are the cornerstones of any enduring society;
to reestablish the spirit of courage and initiative and
self-reliance; to restore straight thinking; to give our
people those cultural resources which will enable them
to live happily and without deterioration in a world
so efficient productively that leisure will be their por
tion far more abundantly than any earlier generation
ever dreamed of; to give them adaptability, the capa
bility to meet new conditions of living and working.
This la what North Carolina expects to get for not
more than $864 a year.
Del aw mi e Beets Us
Delaware beats us. They have vei^r few prisoners
on hand at any time.
The whipping |x*t does the job. Prisons have be
come the havens of the lazy sluggards of the coun
try. Many people are not sensible of the sin or shame
of crime, so they rush off and commit some felony to
get food and shelter at public expense; and just as
soon as they are turned out in the cold they again
seek to return by committing another crime.
Delaware does things differently. Lawbreakers are
tried, if found guilty, the offender is taken out be
fore the public and whipped, a thing all criminals
particularly dislike. In the case of a serious crime,
they are required to serve a term in prison. There
is no state in the union where a man hates to be caught
as bad as he does in Delaware, and there is no state
with less crime at so low a cost.
North Carolina might do well to adopted the same
regulations.
Interest in the Resurrection
Are those saying the world is growing worse stating
true facts? Honestly, we do not think so. Certain
ly, we have to admit that Christianity is having great
obstacles to combat, but not enough to stay the force
of Christianity. Of course, it moves slowly?like the
leaven in the meal?but it moves the more surely by
moving slowly.
The force of Christianity appeals to the strength
of man, while the forces of satan attacks man in his
weakness, when he is least able to withstand the temp
tations of life.
Williamston people gave proof of their interest in
the resurrection and their belief in its power on Sun
day, when they crowded the church services of the
town, all the churches reporting large attendance. In
some of the larger towns of eastern Carolina, the news
comes that hundreds were unable to get even stand
ing room at the worship services.
This may mean that the prodigals who have been
wandering have grown hungry and are now seeking
to return to the father's house, where there is plenty
of the things that satisfy, and where there is the love
and mercy that make people happy and which abide
without ceasing.
If we would banish war and hatred, we will find
it only in the way that Christ leads.
Protection for Young Girls
According to the findings of the United States De
partment of Justice, there are thousands of girls leav
ing their homes every year who, under promise of
good jobs of easy work and good pay, are easy prey
for the gangsters. These young women, generally un
acquainted with the glittering life of the city, soon
lind themselves facing loneliness and hunger and.
worst of all, friendless, causing thousands to seek a
more peaceful and hopeful life down the suicide road,
while many others forget the advice given by lonely
mothers and compromise with the world of sin and
sorrow.
The United States Department of Justice"is trying
to build a wall of protection for these unfortunate
girls, and humanity sliuuld back them in their under
taking. There are too many young people being
pulled down the road to destruction by designing in
terests, evil interests.
The Cost Not So Great
Elkm Tribune
It will be remembered that Governor Ehringhaus
pointed to $9,000,000 as the approximate cost of
North Carolina's 50-50 split on the social security
program should the state participate in the Federal
plan for old-age pensions and other benefits. The
governor used these figures as an effective scarecrow
to justify his persistent refusal to call a special ses
sion of the legislature to effectuate the proper author
ization for this state's participation.
But it seems that the governor, probably uninten
tionally, was all wet in figuring. According to fig
ures released by the social security board covering
the average old-age pension payment in 22 states
whose social security plans have been approved, North
Carolina's total cost would be around $3,600,000, in
stead of the Governor's $9,000,000. The average
pension in the 22 states amounts to only $19.66 per
month.
Governor Ehringhaus estimated that approximately
50,000 persons in this state would be eligible to re
ceive $30 per month, when as a matter of fact the
average number in the 22 states is only 10,000. Grant
ing that North Carolina eligibles would .number 15,
000, the total cost to the state would be Jqiproximate
ly $3,600,000.
In this connection Congressman Doughton says:
'Kegardles sof what it costs, it seems to me that the
state should not only be willing but anxious to coop
erate in this great humanitarian movement when the
federal government has said to the state that the
state shall be the sole judge of how much to pay and
the federal government will match dollar for dollar
whatever the state determines to be the proper
amount. The social security act dues not contem
plate doing anything that we should not be doing
now, and it is rather humiliating to me to have to ad
mit that we are not doing it now."
Governor Ehringhaus recently made a trip to Wash
ington to try to convince government officials that
the slate's enabling act would be sufficient authori
zation for the state to participate, but it does not ap
pear that he was successful.
Verily, it does seem that our governor is determined
to have his way ia this special session matter. The
tobacco farmers, whom he professes a devotion for,
stand to suffer because of this, and there are other
important matters demanding immediate attention,
but the Governor says there is nothing didding.
