Address all communications to The Enterprise and not individual members of the fcrm. Tuesday, September IS, 1936 Proud ol Our Government What government in the history of man has ever done so much for its citisens as our own? It under takes to educate and does offer every child in the land ? fair education. If he or she does not get it, it is the result of carelessnes or worthlessness, or such a child has worthless or careless parents. Even when the children are deaf, dumb, or blind, they have a fair opportunity of bettering themselves at our schools for the deaf and dumb and blind. Regardless of their weakness, they are in reach of help, with special at tention being paid to their particular needs. Our government is willing to fit each individual with the knowledge and science necessary to earn a living and, even more, it feeds them when they are unable to work and produce. It even goes further than that, and sometimes it helps some few who are able to earn a living for thmiselvet though unwilling to do so. The American people generally are very proud of our government, because it is founded on service and charity. Net there are a few who object to its pro gram becau.e it costs them something in tares. They dislike to pay taxes. They would rather have a gov ernment that does not offer any charity to the weak and unfortunate people. They have little mercy and would rather see the blind child feel its way grop ingly through life than to be taxed a little in order to fit such a child for a more pleasant and useful life. They comprise the class of people who want to grab and gouge everything in sight. However, it is good that a large majority of our people are charitable and not afraid of a little tax. Those fellows who are always so anxious to balance the budgrt really do not want any budget, if the truth should be known. They are just mad because our government is attempting to do something for the people Stick To the New Deal The New Deal candidates are winning in every di rection, wherever they go to the polls with any oppo sition, which is a clear indication that the Literary Digest poll counts for little, in its early stages at any rate. There has not yet been a test case from the Atlantic to the Pacific where the New Deal candi dates have not come out with flying colors. All this simply goes to show that the people of the country still trust President Roosevelt and fear the honesty of the Liberty Leaguers. When we think of the New Deal we are thinking of the first fair play that the common people have ever been favored with in government. Such a course evidently makes the DuPonts, the Morgans, and the Mills, as well as the Mellons, mad, because they want to lay the founds tions of a kingdom where maoey is the ruling god. And whenever such a plan succeeds the folks at large will have to bow down to that god whenever they want bread, and then only to have it weighed out to them by the pennyweight. If you would be free, you will do weU to stick to the New Deal. If you want to submit your destinies to the money gods and professional grafters, then vote against it Judge Barnhill Is Right A serious charge was made by a number of people against the WOson County sheriff recently, alleging that he was drank at a certain precinct during one of the primaries a few months ago. The charges were presented to the state solicitor by Judge M. V. Barn hill at the term of superior court recently held in that county. The judge specifically charged the grand jury to investigate the charges and report on them. until they performed that duty. We know nothing about the charges, so far as they reflect upon the guilt or innocence of the sheriff, yet we do know that the judge's action was very com mendable and is a course that will have to be fol lowed more timely before we can have a safe and hon orable government. Thre are today many officials who hang around liquor joints and drink and carouse and neglect their and have a gang to uphold them and help to hide their ahortcoamng*. Such things have existed ia the past natQ they have come to be a pub lic dkgrace. ' Judge Barnhill ia ri*t Sa Us come. Go ahead, Jartgi until every liquor-drinking officer hi the state is relieved of Us j* Polishing Up the Sword George Fielding Elliott says that Europe is polish ing up the sword. He also says that with the new methods of destruction, it is necessary to constantly study and test out the new missies of death, the air plane, the gases, the submarine, and the various kinds of grenades, which were all unknown 40 years ago. Then the only thing we had to learn was how to shoot a muzzle-loading rifle and to fence with the sword or understand how to spear a man with a bayonet. But now we have to guard against every form of cruel death, which is liable to approach us from every di rection; even in peaceful sleep we are liable to breathe poisonous gases or perhaps be blown up by a bomb from an airplane flying si high that we are unable to hear the buzz of the motor. As the new methods of warfare are being invent ed, the cost is rapidly mounting, until it is equivalent to breaking up a nation to get into war. Many peo ple complain that the population of the world is get ting too large, yet a new World War, with all the na tions of the world employing all of their killing ma chines, may cut down the population until we will not have too many. National Credit Still Good The folks with money are falsifying when they say we are losing our national credit. The Treasury Department has just recently offered a bond issue at 2 3-4 per cent interest to run from 20 to 23 years, and the issue was oversubscribed 13 times, which is a very clear indication that the people think these bonds are good. The thing that galls the money kings is the fact that interest too low for them; although it is much better for the folks who have to do the paying. Low interest rates are the things that gall the wealthy. "Hippodroming" Trials Chapel Hill Weekly The American Bar Association's committee on crim inal procedure presents a report in condemnation of the "hippodroming" of trials by newspapers and radio broadcasters. The report suggests that the evil be attacked through the exrcise by judges of the power to declare the offenders in contmpt of court. The lawyers are disposed to place the blame for making spectacles of trials on the press. There is no doubt that part of the press does deserve censure for the vulgar and sensational manner in which it ex ploits a trial such as that of Hauptmann, but the rec ord would seem to show that members of the legal profession, judges and lawyers, are often just as much at fault as the editors and reporters. Certainly in the Hauptmann case, the attorneys for both the prose cution and the defense, and the Governor of New Jersey helped to make a vaudeville performance out of the proceedings in the courtroom. We applaud the effort of the American Bar Asso ciation to maintain the dignity of the courts, and we will be glad of any curb it succeeds in imposing up on the tabloids and other yellow newspapers. But while it is engaged in this laudable endeavor we wish it could persuade the members of its own profession to be more zealous for the reform of criminal justice. For years high lights among the lawyers of the coun try have been urging the passage of laws which would diminish the avenues of escape for criminals, but they have en countered a stone wall of resistance in the great body of lawyers who control legislatures through out the land. Whenever a measure designed to-in ject a greater measure of fairness and common sense into criminal procedure is defeated, the defeat is ad ministered by lawyers. Juvenile Delinquency Winston-Salem Journal On the authority of J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, one fifth of the crimes committed in this country are by persons un der voting age. Set that sentence off by itself. Fonder over it. Significance lies here. Adult America has no cause for patting itself on the back, when it considers what the above statement means. Ault America is largely responsible for Juve nile America's crime, for its delinquency. It should do something very definite about it. There are, of course, reform schools, wlefare de partments and probation officers. But quite a few confirmed penitentiary inmates claim that reforma tories often serve to train and polish off a youthful criminal. But these aren't sufficient. All the boys and girls who run on the street can't be shut up in reform schools. AU the youngsters who are surrounded by bad environmental contacts can't be placed under probation officers. The welfare folk may be watch ing the wrong boy or girl in many instances. The lit tle shaver who was absorbing devilment unnoticed instead of the marked delinquent, may prove to be the Dillinger or Baby Face Nelson of the community. So what? Uncle Sam has an idea that the sage who said an idle mind was the devil's workshop had bold on the tail of a right idea. Out at Louisville, Ky? he is cooperating with the lefferson County juve nile court in providing a workshop for delinquent youngsters. An enterprise of this type puts the boys on proba tion to work and should serve to keep them out of mischief, while at the same time training them for lives of usefulness. But how about the boy who has escaped the watchful eye of the probation officer, the youngster who lives in a community where there are no probation officers? Society might not do a bad day's work if it made an effort to extend the idea providing vocational training and recreational centers in every community. Let the child have fun, but let it ba a sanely di rected, carefully supervised fun. Let the youngster be doing something, but make certain that something is worth white and augurs wed for his M.V.
