THE ROANOKE BEACON Published Every Friday in Plymouth, North Carolina c V- w. AUSBOX.Ou tlet J. F. A US FOX,.Publisher Walter H. Paramore.Associate Editor J £1.50 A YEAR IIV ADVANCE Address all communications to the Roanoke Beacon. Plymouth, N. C. Entered as second-class mail matter at the Postoffice. Plymouth, North Carolina, under the act of March 3rd, 18IS7. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1928 Public Opinion Column For some time the Beacon has been aware of the need of an additio nal department to its reading columns that would supply a convenient place for its many readers to express their opinions on many of the leading questions which would be of interest to other citizens of the county. So the Beacon welcomes communications from its readers for the “Public Opinion" column. These letters may relate to virtually any subject, including the re sult of the campaign, the election returns, and any of their connotati ons and detonations. The writer may choose any subject that would be of interest in general. However, certain rules have been made in regards to this column which must be followed or otherwise the letters w ill be rejected. For protective reasons all letters that are to be used in this column should be signed by the writer for publication; and the Beacon re serves the right to strike out any statements or charges that might lay it open to action for libel, or that might be wichin the knowledge of this newspaper, grossly untrue and thus unfair to any person. No letter should exceed 300 words; and must be written legibly with pen or pencil on one side of the paper. It is preferred that it be type written. Priority cannot always be given letters in conformity with the order of receipt. If the inauguration of these rules limit the number of letters, it will most certainly increase their quality. In starting this column the Beacon does not wash to furnish a channel through which disgrunt led persons may attack their enemies, but, to furnish a convenient place for wholesome discussions of current events. -92 Young People’s Clubs Although Democratic candidates for county offices were successful! except in one instance, in the recent general election, it is manifest that Democracy in no way has a cinch in keeping the rank and file oi its following intact until the 1930 election. Now is the time to begin working for a stronger party for the forthcoming contest. The Bea con does not take it upon itself to predict the outcome of the next election, however, the result of the present one should be a clarion call to every Democrat to begin propagating the doctrine of Democra cy. There has been established in this county an auxiliary organization to the regular Democratic combine that should be perfectly organized in order to prepetuate the principles of the party and to begin to draw into its folds those that are becoming of voting age from time to time. This organization which is the ^ oung People s Democratic Clubs in the county should have capable officers for this work. Un less something is done in the next two years there will be an over whelming Republican majority in Washington county at the 1930 election. Many previous loyal party members were sweps off their feet this time by bolters that tried to carry the county by storm. Last minute destructive literature spread by the opposing forces, and the organiz ing ability of the G. O. P. came near to put the entire Republican ticket in power in this county. Democrats must go to work NOW. I PUBLIC OPINION | i COLUMN j ----- : Editor Roanoke Beacon: Since Mr. Hoover has been elected President, we are questioning our minds as to his solution of some of the most outstanding problems that will face him after his inauguration. There were some issues in the recent campaign that can not be side stepped or evaded, but must be looked square ly in the face and disposed of in some manner. The people in this part of North Carolina are probably most vitally interested in the solution of the farm problem. The farmers are demanding some kind of relief from conditions that have prevailed for the past few years. The Government-may be able to help them market their products, or make provision for them to hold their surplus, or buy the surplus and destroy it, but, apparently, there is no better solution than to control the supply of the differenct farm products. The price of anything is determined by the law of supply and demand and the President plus Con gress can not create a demand for something that nobody wants. This is just a pure and simple problem in economics. If there was no demand foi the total product of manufactured tobacco, Duke and Reynolds would not continue to manufacture cigar ettes on their present scale and then ask the Government to force the peo ple to buy them at their present prices, but would cut down on their out put and would continue to cut down until they could sell their pro duct for a net profit. Farming is our most vital industry, the life of our country and, certainly something can be done for the farm er. But how is it to be done unless the farmers are willing to cooperate in controlling the supply of over-j produced crppa? J5. ti. RIDDLE.
