' (Strictly Cash in Advance) Advertising Rates Furnished Upon Request Entered as second-class matter at the post office in Plymouth, N. C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Tuesday. April 14, 1931 Nation Watches Roosevelt The fight on James J. Walker, mayor of New York, will doubtless drift into a battle between right and wrong. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt is pressing the in vestigation of Walker's administration, which doubt less will unearth many crooked things in the New York City administration. Roosevelt's attitude in the fight will have much to do with his candidacy for the Democratic nomination. If he makes a real fight for truth, honesty, and jus tice; and shows up any fraud and graft that may exist, the country will take hold of him. If, on the other hand, he gets cold feet and helps smother things up, it will operate against him. Charles Evans Hughes came to the front on account i of his vigorous prosecution of insurance graft in the State of New York. A Position Hard to Understand It is hard to understand why women—Daughters of the American Revolution—should take a position of daring and advocate big war preparations. Can it be that they feel a superiority over their neighbors and friends ? Certainly, it can be harking back to the barbaric age, when strength was the ultimate goal, as it now is in the ‘'bull pen.” Naturally, we would expect women coming from the best strain of American blood, and of the highest culture, to view our future association with mankind on the basis of Christianity, and work out their dif ferences in peace on the basis of truth and justice. We need not look for world peace so long as every nation i'< grabbing to get the bigge-t stick. And that is just what is taking place when we are spending s> much of our money preparing to kill the other fel low, not only destroy him hut take his property and destroy his liberty. Shipbuilders, steel mill owners, gun makers, and [xnvder manufacturers are bellowing and shouting a.l over the world in an effort to scare nations and rush them into war preparations. Thev are easily understood. It is profits they seek. While they do not particularly want anybody killed, they do not care how many are killed just so they can reap their profits. Frankly, we can not understand why a bunch of women, mothers and grandmothers of the race, an stand for war policies. Underestimated Southern Democrats Northern Republicans have certa'nly underestimat ed Southern Democrats when they connected Raskob with democracy in an effort to destroy the principles of the Democratic Party, an organization that has, for so long a time, stood for equal and just govern ment. Our northern friends were only applying the acid test to the principles of the Party, and although many Democrats failed to see the point at the time, they are wiser now and they all know that with Ras kob they can have no party. For that reason, the northern Republicans cannot look to the South for any help. The South did not vote republican the last time: it simply repudiated the Republican ally, John J. Raskob, upon the grounds that it was better to be defeated than to be wrong. The best thing for southern Democrats to do, if thev are to maintain those principles of government upon which the party has always stood, is to invite western Republicans to join them. This will be the easiest way to put down privileged government which is choking the people to death. We need not look to New York and New Jersey Democrats to help us. In the past they have too often named the Democratic candidate only to slay him in the election. Firm Foundation Necessary -<a> When we learn that trying to make a fortune on borrowed capital is a very hazardous thing, we will be better business folks. There are very few people who make financial ven tures on borrowed capital who feel good about paying back if the venture fails to produce. The best way to build a fortune or a character is to start at the bottom and build a firm foundation. Hon esty, truth, perseverance, and the ability to be con tent and patient even though the growth be slow, is the surest way to attain success. We put the keystone and ornaments on the building after we have done much hard labor and careful work. If we are to succeed in the true sense of the word; that is, to be such a person as we wish to be in the business and moral world, we will have to do it through many small savings and good deeds.

And their record is an open book to the public. They have kept taxes as low as possible and consist ent with good government . . . and every dollar can be accounted for; even to the cent, for that matter. They have helped 11 give Plymouth efficient and adequate police protection—honest and equal law en forcement. Modern and up-to-date sanitary methods for the protection of the public health, has been carried out. A modern fire department for the protection of property has been maintained. These men, if re-elected—end we believe they will be when the votes are counted at the close of the elec tion cn May 5, 1931—will continue to live up to their past high records. They will be able to work harder and plan for a greater Plymouth, due to knowledge gained from past experience. They will serve all alike, and there will be no spec ial favors to none. They will strive to reduce taxes, but will not sacrifice good government and the welfare of the people for false economy. And, as in the past, they will continue to do every thing possible to promote the growth, prosperity, and health and wealth of the citizens, to the end that Ply mouth may become the best town in which to live in Eastern Carolina. j Harry Stell THIRD WARD B.
