I THE ROANOKE BEACON And Washington County News Published Every Friday in Plymouth, Washington County, North Carolina WALTER H. PARAMORE Managing Editor The Roanoke Beacon was established in 1889 and consolidated with the Washington County News in 1929. , Subscription Rates In Washington, Martin, and Tyrrell Counties One year ..— $1.50 six months — - . * Outside of Above Counties One year . $2.00 Six months .----— (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, Friday, March 11, 1932 Congress Swings Into Lipe It is quite gratifying to see Congress getting down behind the Wall Street gamblers. If it can just crush the last Xew York gambler, it will be the great est thing Congress has ever done. It is strange that a system so vile and mean, a system of robbery that keeps the country sapped to death, has any standing with decent people. The trouble with the gambler is that there is al ways somebody near with little enough sense to be fleeced. Congrss actually seems to be developing a con science. A committee has actually recommended un seating Senator Bankhead, of Alabama, because he cheated old Tom Heflin. Truth and honesty are two great virtues, and it is gratifying to see Congress swinging in line. Drastic Punishment Needed While many people object to death sentences for any crime, it really seems as if we should add one more offense to the list of crime carrying the su preme penalty, and that one is kidnaping. When we think of some villian grabbing a child from its mother’s arms or from any other place for that matter, and running away with it, leaving the parents stricken with horrors that are undescriable, there is no punishment too severe for him. The man who wili do such a deed for ransom is deserving of the most severe punishment even to death. The Donkey—Truly a Party Symbol It is beginning to look like the Democrats are go ing to act more like donkeys this year than ever be fore. With a wide-open chance for victory in sight, every element is pulling for the nomination, and many of them without much thought of the principles upon which the party was built, and for which it has stood for the most part throughout all its history. Now comes along Mr. Raskob, with all his radical ideas and millions of money, and with the help of the Duponts, Jouett Shouse and A1 Smith, trying to drown Miss Democracy in alcohol. Of course, they have a Ritchie and a J. Ham Lewis to push forward at the opportune moment, or perhaps a hand-picked friend as yet unknown. The men who fit the democracy of both the present and the past—such as Newton D. Baker—are being side-tracked. This is the hour for Democrats to stand together for the sole purpose of attaining a system of govern ment that will guarantee fair and free government to all men and every legitimate business. Create Wealth, Not Waste It Chicago finds 6.S00 too many people on her pay roll and has proceeded to dismiss them. It is a pretty hard time to turn fellows out of a green pasture, yet if they are not needed, they should go. Prosperity can not be restored by pay rolls. It must come by creating wealth, not by wasting it. Too many folks have been drawing pay already, and too few have actually been creating wealth. If Xorth Carolina should put every citizen in the State on the pay roll, it would only make us poorer. Xo city, county, state, or nation can make good times return by putting half of its citizens on the pay roll and taxing the other half to pay them. The same principle is involved in our war prepara tions. The home folks who have to pay taxes to keep up a big army and navy will always be under bond age. Xo prosperity can live unless it is based on the principle that each person, or most of them, at least, earn what they get. Go After It Folks who are waiting for prosperity to come to them are doomed to disappointment. The only kind of prosperity we are going to get now is the kind that we go after ourselves, which, after all, is the only kind that is worth anything. The money the government is loaning out with the people is not for the purpose of restoring prosperity to them; it is for the sole purpose of stimulating them to run just a little bit faster toward the prosperity goal. The sooner we forget 1919, and its fancy prices, follies, and sins, the better off we will be. In these parts vie have plenty to eat for this year. The important thing now is to prepare for next year. We will never be down and out just as long as we have plenty to eat. A Worn-Out Pinion “Boone Sketches” in The Watauga Democrat. The other day the Democrat's linotype operator noted a grating noise in the driving mechanism of the complicated machine, and an inspection revealed that the main motor pinion, a fiber gear which had trans mitted motive power for the intricate device had worn its face to a frazzle against the steel gear with which it was enmeshed. The pinion was slipped from the motor shaft, a new one inserted, and the machine con tinued its mass production of shiny new type for the columns of The Democrat. The pause was brief and there was slight inconvenience, but as one of the men held the frayed gear in a grimy hand, he grew pen sive, and reflected on the work which had ground a way the traction surfaces. With pencil in hand he set about to find out just what the discarded mechan ism had done, and deduced that in its time it had made 848,640,000 useful revolutions, had cast no less than 5,970,400 lines of type, and had been the means of chronicling the news of Watauga County, both good and bad, for a period of about eight years. The little wheel was unnoticed and forgotten by those who knew of its existence until its usefulness was ended. It played an important part in the life of one communi ty and one county, but when the merciless grind of revolving wheels had ended its career, a million new pinions were waiting to take its place, and carry on the work it had started. Thus wastes man. He fills a tiny niche in this thing called Life, his body and spirit are worn out and crushed by labor, by sorrow, and by pain . . . and he, too, is relegated to an outer realm, while a million new men are ready to carry on in his stead, and he is forgotten. Man and gears wear out and cease to be, and the world is unaffected. Many human beings are of less usefulness during their careers than the little pinion which did a full share to further the cause of knowledge and general useful ness, and as it went to the junk heap, it carried with it about the same actual knowledge of what this mad race is all about as did those who fashioned it.
