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.

C., under the act of Congress oi March 3, 1879, Friday, April 8. 1932 I Approaching a Dilemma There is still plenty of politics in New York. And much of it is a very unreliable kind of politics, the kind that seeks self-profits and pays little attention to the welfare of others. \Ye are rapidly approaching a dilemma, when we reach the place that most of our national laws have been passed to conform to the wishes of one city, the people of which have amassed many fortunes un der the direct protection of the laws they have in fluenced. Riding (or a Fall Those politicians who have no platform except li quor are going to get the greatest setback this year they have had in many. Women are not demanding drunken hubsands. Children are not begging for drunken fathers. Mer chants are not looking for drinking clerks. Sick peo ple prefer sober doctors. The law prohibits drunken drivers. Drinking engineers are not allowed to enter locomotive cabs. Drinkers are not allowed to play baseball nor football. Who does want drinkers for anything? What bus iness or profession succeeds better with drinking men than with sober men? Of course, liquor may help to deaden the shame of houses of ill repute. It may be good to give a fel low courage enough to commit a crime. But until somebody finds some way in which liquor may be used to make folks better, and some way to prevent it from doing harm, politicians will have a hard time putting the program of a gang of beer bums over the people for the sole purpose of making money out of them. The liquor folks have done a lot of talking and printing to try to popularize their program, while the rank and file of people have kept quiet. This has, to some extent, given the liquor people encourage ment. But when the real fight comes, the thinking people who know that man is nearer like God made him when sober than he is when drunk are going to stand like a wall against the liquor elements, made up principally of foreigners and people who want to manufacture and sell liquor for profit. Get a Cow How much effort are the people of this county making to carry out the program outlined in the re- | cent campaign to provide more milk for the family use. '['here is enough feed in this county to produce sufficient milk and butter to supply the entire popula- I tion of the county. What we need on each farm is the cow and sufficient energy to milk and care for her. If you are too poor to keep a cow, you may as well make up your mind that your children are going to be poorer and just as lazy and ignorant as you are. Get the cow and make preparations to feed her. It will cut out one-fourth of the family's expenses for food. Don’t let the human race suffer for the want of proper food, which can be produced on every farm. And if you can't get a c >w, get a few goats. Their milk is just as good. Gangsterism Much Overrated People seem to be placing too much importance on the power of gangsters to do things. Some seem to think that A1 Capone can find stolen babies, blind the stars, or pale the moon, when in fact about the only thing his type can do is to excite men to a spir it of lawless and inspire them to lie, plunder, steal, and kill—something that anybody can do. What the public should do is denounce crime and gangsters rather than praise their knowledge, alert ness. and bravery—which has a tendency to spur them on, and in a large way sets them up in the minds of young people as ideals. Much robbery and many murders have resulted from emulating bandit stars as portrayed in moving pictures, novels, newspaper “scoops," and the like. Denounce gangsterism rather than exalt it. A Misleading Statement The National Fertilizer Association, in its efforts to choke Muscle Shoals, makes the statement that pri vate producers have cut the price of complete fer- : tilizers 68 per cent below the 1919 price, w'hich means that a farmer can buy the same fertilizer for $32 now that cost him $100 in 1919. We would like to know the name of one farmer who is buying for less than one-third of what he paid in 1919, and we w-ould like to know just one fertilizer | company which is selling as much fertilizer for $32 now as it sold for $100 in 1919. If there is anybody that wants Muscle Shoals dam washed down stream and destroyed, it is the fertilizer and power folks. They seem to be afraid the govern j ment will go to making fertilizer and selling power, and that the people will find out from that source the actual cost of making nitrogen and generating power. The National Fertilizer Association ought to be made to prove its statement. WILLIFORD’S and YELLOW FRONT MARKET The Stores Where Economy Rules PILLSBURY OR BALLARDS FLOUR \ r „ 12 lb. bag.

Loved in life, in death remembered, My mother, kind and true: Loved by all who knew her. And kind to all she knew. How sadly I counted the hours That measured these sorowful years Since I laid beneath the mantel of flowers, My mother, I loved so dear. Gone from me: yes, gone forever. i Tear-dimmed eyes I gaze in vain; I shall hear her voice: no, never. Never more on earth again. Home is ad, Oh, God, how dreary, Lonesome, lonesome, every spot; Listening for her till weary, Weary, for I hear her not. Thou art gone, hut not forgotten, In this great world of strife; Thou shalt always be remembered. As long as God gives me life. Anow, now that our circle is broken, And parting thus fills me with pain, I hold as a glorious token The bright hope of meeting again. HER LOVING DAUGHTER. NOTICE N'ortli Carolina, Washington County.
