North Carolina's political clown, Hobcrt Hicc
Reynolds. is making ready for another stage
act in Washington, and the thought of what is
almost certain to come is enough to cause North
Carolinians to hang their heads in disgrace and
shame
Unfortunately, Mr Reynolds?very few step
ping out to call him "Our Bob" any more?is in
direct line for the chairmanship of the import
ant Senate Military Affairs Committee. Senior
ity gives him the. place m accordance with cus
tom. but Reynolds has the golden opportunity
to decline the post In the light of his own mis
erable and disgusting record, he should forfeit
any claim to the post so important in the pro
gram of the nation's defense just now
Mr. Reynolds, the people of Martin County
and North Carolina have tolerated your clown
ing and swallowed the disgrace heaped upon
their tieuds by such acts and antics "pulled" by
you in nearly every nook and corner 111 North
Carolina and even m distant parts of the wurld
during your cunningly arranged inspection
tours. Now, they appeal to you to spare them
further embarrassment. It is possible that many
of your transgressions will be overlooked and
that you will gain more favorable publicity if
you stand aside when the important position is
to be filled '
Vfiif /Weds /'urging
When Roosevelt offered to block Cotton Ed
Smith's renonunation to the United States Sen
ate some tune ago, he was attacked for interior
ring in polities Possibly the tactics were out of
ordei but in the light of recent developments
there an good reasons lot someone to purge
the old man from South Carolina
Senator Smith.'critical- of many if not all
New D( al measures designed to help the com
mon masses, is on the spot again. He demand
ed the Washington Draft Board to put his son
in the deferred dralt list, possibly because the
son's father was a United States Senator In
connection with the disgraceful part played by
the father, a few other items common to the
Senator's way of doing things were brought
out. It was revealed that the Senator had crowd
ed theg ovemment payroll with his own km
and in-laws The son was drawing yearly $4,000
a year, and the Smith clan was drawing approx
imately $24,000 a year from the federal treas
ury
Such episodes as that are causing labor to
striki in this country. When men in high places
declare against the drafting of their sons. It is
quite reasonable to expect other draftees to
stand back and ask questions It is apparent
that Hitler will have to move nearer dhc Unit*
ed the government payroll with his own kin
rights of our fellowmen, especially when those
rights are compared with those enjoyed bv
those in high places.
Fortunately, the Washington Draft Board
placed Senator Smith's son in Class~t-A But
it would Ik- surprising to really know how many
are escaping the draft not only as it relates to
army service but as it relates to the defense of
the nation and the common decency due all
mankind.
Ilitler Mure/ten On
Centering our attention on Hitler as he
marches to battle in land, sea and air. we are
giving little thought or attention to his fiend
ish acts in other fields. What appears to hold
an equal to war itself, is the treatment accorded
those in subjugated countries. The work of the
brute in the occupied countries clearly proves
that H+tlel had planned years ago to dominate
the world and reduce his subjects to a slavery
state
Reports, coming from reliable sources, main
tain that Hitler is feeding his conquered sub
jects a certain vitamin to reduce them to a state
of depression and mental weakness and total
despair In this condition they will be easier to
handle
Apparently forgetting no detail m Ins wild
dash to dominate the world, Hitler marches on
in fields other than those where actual battles
are fought.
If ?V* To Save Money
From his wide experience ranging from early
life on his grandfather's farm to his present
position as a statistical expert, Roger W Bab
son in his book. "Twenty Ways To Save Mon
ey." brings forth clearly worded, practical sug
gestions for saving money which can be ap
plied by the average man
Why, he wonders, do people constantly look
for new ways of increasing the income and pass
up the easiest method of money making which
is money saving? And why . not indeed. Saving
money for a good purpose- to open a bank or
postal savings account is more fun than spend
mg aimlessly.
Budgeting Mr. Babson considers of primary
importance and keeping accurate records of re
ceipts and expenditures he thinks the surest
way of living within one's income. Buying stan
dard products, whether they be homes, furni
ture machines, or clothing, he deems a wise pol
icy Other financial problems which he dis
cusses include hospitalization, life insurance,
annuities, stocks and bonds, taxes, and relation
of the individual with banks. He points out the
monetary value of education and good health
Avoiding installment buying, interest paying,
and gambling are included in his "don'ts" for
the thrifty. The Progressive Farmer.
