Untrue Statements
/"
This is going to be one year in which many peoplg
will have to take back many of their statements, be
fi.ii.-ii ih?y haif ma.!>? ?/. many untrue remarks. They
are saying things that are entirely untrue in nearly
every instance, and the worst of it is that many peo
ple know they are lying, but their only idea is to car
ry their own [xiints at the time, regardless of the
method.
This kind of politics often keep the best men from
offering their services to the public, while the offices
go to many of the "slummiest" fellows of a commun
ity who are not fitted for office from any stand|xiint
and who generally draw their crowd of the same ilk
to push them through. Even our law-making bodies
too frequently contain such men.
We need to be diligent in selecting honest, sensi
ble, capable men to serve us in any capacity.
Cracking the Lash
Is there anyone in politics in North Carolina so
common, vile and corrupt that he will stoop so low as
to intimidate an humble laborer by threatening the
loss of his job unless he votes for the [lowers in au
thority? k
A few years ago it was the common practice to
turn the workers in the Highway Commission from
the roads to go out in the service of one particular
candidateThis year only a few cases have been
spotted where such tactics have been practiced.
In some cases the lash has been cracked. Some
employees of private business concerns have been
quietly reminded that wages would probably go low
er if certain candidates are elected, and some workers
in the administration set-up are getting the word that
their jobs "are dependent upon themselves. Perhaps
those workers are not aware that if headquarters
should bear of any .such threats or intimations the
makers would them-alves be immediately dismissed.
Everyone should remember that he has the guaran
teed right to exercise his freedom in his own way,
particularly where the ballot is concerned. If he gets
a threat or a discharge, he should not fail to re|xjrtit.
An Opportunity Lost
?
The nations of the world have lost their oppor
tunity.
At the time when Italy was feeling them all out
and pressing for the opportunity to go forward with
her Ethiopian campaign, most of the nations, feeling
that they, were dealing with a civilized country and
in a spirit of saving themselves from war and possibly
a world disturbance, permitted Mussolini to wage his
cruel war, the nations ap|>arently thinking more of
their Italian trade relationships than they did of the
welfare of the poor, lienighted *nd helpless Ethiop
ians.
Perhaps the main trouble withlhe world is that
we love trade more than we love our neighbors; we
had rather sell bullets for profit than to enjoy peace.
It is good that we do not hate people. On the oth
rr hand, it is bad that we are willing to-stand by and
see the big fish eat the little fish provided we can ujst
get our share of the little fish. .
Nobody believes for a moment that Germany's in
vasion of Belgium was the cause of the World War.
It was the knowledge that the Germans were bent on
bestiging Paris, annexing France, then crossing the
channel to seize the British navy and then probably
sail west bent on further conquests. That was the
reason the allied forces rushed to the aid of Belgium.
No one knows now which country Italy wants to
take next. It may be Greece or Switzerland or it
may lie Palestine and Egypt. Of course, she is count
ing the cost of a new Roman Empire, and it means
much bloody war. .
Justice and Politics
The chief Federal detective and leading G-man of
the country, J. Edgar Hoover, struck the keynote
plumb and square when he said recently that politics
is public enemy No. 1. This will be found to be very
true whenever an attempt is made to try to enforce
the law. The law is required to be enforced by po
litical judges, political lawyers, witnesses who have
Iriends guilty ol similar crimes, and jurors, many of
whom are in like condition. It is generally hard to
mete out justice under such circumstances
