April 21, 1936 Worse Than Death Repudiations of principles and truth is worse than death. It is only 15 years since Germany signed a covenant not to enter the Rhineland with armed, forces, which covenant she has fuly repudiated with in recent months. When we look at the world upheaval, debts, and distresses caused by the great World War, the horror of which is fully attested by thousands of tombstones throughout Europe. Asia, and other parts of the world, we wonder what fools men can be. Yet when we see them get together in the spirit of their better selves and solemnly agree and covenant not to en gage in any such horrid deeds any more and then see them deliberately violate their agreements, so soon, we must think the repudiation of their agree ments a far greater crime than the actual slaughter already committed. Germany's sole intention is at the first opportune moment to bear down on France and slaughter a mil lion of her men, despoil her country and starve more of her women and children. Turkeys seems determined to refortify the Dar danelles, where she slaughtered many thousand Eng lish, Australians and French, whose bodies, lie buried in one of the world's great cemeteries on the Euro pean side of this notable waterway. All these repudiations come because these merci less nations propose to kill more folks some day; yet the rank and tile of the Turks and Germans do not want war. It is the rulers and grafters. Japan and Italy have have both taken the view that the people of the world are so anxious for peace that they will stand by and let them go on slaying and killing Chinese and Ethiopians and avoid a general war. The only thing needed was for the United States to enter the la-ague of Nations in order to make the covenant safe and secure. Had we done the honor able thing, Japan would not have entered China, Italy would not be in Ethiopia, Germany would not have troops on the Rhine, and Turkey would not be pre paring to kill along the Dardanelles. In addition, the world would have saved many billion in war ex penditures. It may be that since man has so little knowledge of how to save himself from the corrupt rules that God may have to rain storms of hailstones to kill a few Hitlers, Mussolinis, sultans, and American graft ers and |>rofileers and destroy them, just as He did five kings on the Philistine plains in past centuries. A Questionable Recommendation In a hearing on confirmation of bids for Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company stock owned by the United Commercial Bank, Judge J. Hoyle Sink made the statement that he could see no reason why 1 the recommendation of the commissioner of banks, Gurney P. Hood, should be accepted, and the recom mendation?which was for acceptance of the bid was wholly and flatly rejected and denied. The language used by the court would seem to in dicate that there was either something wrong with the recommendation or that the judge was rather terse in his comments. The grounds of the court for [ejecting the recommendation seemed to be based on the fact that the bid favored by the banking octn missioner had been raised by a new bidder by $25 per share; which seemed to be a good reason and makes us wonder why Mr. Hood would recommend a thing that would take more than $3,000 from the bank's creditors, unless he was thinking of the interest of the old bidder rather than the interests of the bank's creditors and the new bidder. God Before the Flag A Massachusetts court recently gave sentences to three children, ranging in ages from 9 years down, on charges of refusing to salute the American flag The parents are members of a religious sect which taught the children to refuse to salute the flag on the grounds that the Bible says "Thou shall not bown down before any graven image." It is a fine thing for people to honor their coun try, yet the children were right in putting the banner of Christ before any flag. We really fear that some officials of our country think the country's flag should be chosen ahead of all dae; that is generally true with those who worship mammon rather than God. Restoring Lost Faith Evidence of the value of the New Deal was demon itrated in Williamston Friday, when Miss Ella Mae Gaylord, supervisor, gather? samples of the work done by the women of the five sewing rooms of Martin County and put them on display. A large number of ladies visited the exhibit during the day and warm ly praised the type of work done, both in design and workmanship. The principal articles made by the women are cloth ing, and some household necessities, consisting of plain work garments for both men and women. The overalls for men are equal to any of the factory-made type coming to market. Suits for women are well made: also the children's clothes, down to the young est babe, rugs, bed clothing, and many other articles too numerous to remember. When we look at this work and think of its pur poses and benefits, we appreciate more the value of human sympathy and more highly appraise the gov ernment under which we live; not only for the bene fits in furnishing poor women with the labor enabling them to make a living for themselves and a family of children in most cases, but it has also built up a bet ter morale among these people and given them a new lease on life. In many instances, these women have been the victims of misfortunes which have crushed their hopes in life; and in most cases they have lacked that sympathy and friendship which is necessary for people to do their best in life. Many of these women knew very little about sewing and making garments when they began this work. They appeared rather awkward and embarrassed, but they found they were being extended a helping hand seeking to uplift and help them, new courage appeared in their faces that completely transformed their entire appearance and outlook on lif. The good effect of this training in. self-reliance and knowledge of doing things will re flect itself through many generations. k et we find some people who oppose the govern ment helping the unfortunate and poor. On the oth er hand, the good accomplished through this phase of the New Deal can never be measured in dollars and cents. People are learning to give more of the love and friendship that make men happier and better under whatever conditions and in whatever place they may be found. Before and After Angus Dhu McLean's speech over the radio in re cent weeks presented the second part of a 'perfect parallel with the type of advertisements used in form er years by patent-medicine manufacturers. hirst, there used to be the picture of an emaciated, sickly looking man, woman, boy or girl, with the words "Before taking" under it; adjoining it would be the picture of the same person, robust, hale and hearty, with the words "After taking one bottle" un derneath. "Before taking" the Honored Angus D. McLean, while a legislator representing Beaufort County in the General Assembly of North Carolina, presented the true picture of a statesman, standing up and battling for the populace to receive an equal chance with oth ers. I hen, After taking, standing before the micro phone as A. D. McLean, Incorporated, he apparently represented the interests of tax-dodging wealth, while lite downtrodden continue to struggle on, with yoke galls on their necks, and Mr. McLean sings no song of deliverance from their heavy loads. While Mr. McLean cannot be criticized as a legila l?r, because he was true to his people when he rep resented them, the picture has changed mightily. Mr. -Mclean has taken a large dose of tax-dodging money, and he now has to be true to his corporations. Moral?Don't Borrow Sebree (Ky.) Banner A man who was too stingy to subscribe for his home paper sent the boy to borrow the copy taken by a neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over a stand of bees and in 10 minutes looked like a warty summer squah. His father ran to his assistance and, failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into that and ruined a $9 pair of trousers. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the corn field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing a racket, the wief ran out, upseting a four-gallon churn full of cream into a basket of litUe chickens, drowning the entire hatch. In her haste she dropped a $35 set of false teeth. The baby, having been left alone, crawled through the milk into the parlor, ruining a brand-new $50 carpet. During the excitement, the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up 11 setting hense, and the calves got out and chewed the tails off four shirts on the colthes line. Fairy Tale Baltimore Evening Sun The Italians are already announcing their plans for the reorganization of Ethiopia. They are remark able plans Indeed, as one studies them, they begin to assume the aspect of downright fabulous plans. If you doubt it, fix your attention upon Item 3, Subhead (e). The item reads: "The Italian military command will organize the country by," and the sub head adds, "proclaiming civil .. . liberty throughout Ethiopia." In other words, we are invited to believe that the Italian military command is going to grant freely to the Ethiopians the enjoyment of rights denied the Italian people ever since Fascism was established." Perhaps the catch lies in the word "proclaimign " Come to think of it, the Fascists are expert at pro claiming things that come to pass. Maybe civil and religious liberty will be proclaimed to the Ethiopians, but that they are ever going to enjoy either under a Fascist regime is quite beyond belief.
