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 On# year .- S1'50 six months - Outside of Above Counties One year Six months $2.00 1.00 (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, May 5. 1933 i i Hitler, Germany's Biggest Mistake If we should be asked to describe that fellow, Adolph Hitler, now in all respects the supreme ruler of Germany, we would certainly be bound to use all the little words and all the bad words we know in the English tongue. Our reason for calling him so mean and low would be based on his persecution of a race of people that has helped in a great way to make Germany strong in business, science, and culture; and because of Hit ler's actions in this matter, not only will these peo ple have to suffer hardships for ages to come, but his own people will be held in contempt and suffer the persecutions that always overtake persecutors. Our reason for denouncing him as little is because his egotisim and ambition are so much larger than his heart and brain. The German people deserve pity for the rash step their country has taken in allowing such a void soul as Hitler to assume the role of dictator over them. The Influence of the Dollar There have been many high prices paid for a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, sometimes as much as a quarter of a million dollars. W hile we have no proof and are only making this statement based on our own suspicion, it appears that seats in the Congress are able to demand higher prices than at any time in our whole history. There is evidently large quantities of corrupt money lurking around Washington, and it is generally thought that there are a lot of very hungry politicians in and around Congress who may be weak enough to think that the people will forget before another election, or perhaps they are bold enough to think they will be able to explain things away. One thing we must all concede and that is that a few million dollars has a lot of influence, either at Washington or in Raleigh. The Ways of a Politician Now, what about our own Josiah William Bailey? He said last summer that we needed more money, and denounced the Hoover-Mellon-Mills policy of contraction and solidity. Of course, he was talking then and was really telling the truth. Now the test comes, and he votes with the same crowd he was denouncing less than a year ago. The ways of a politician often cause men to doubt their honesty. Senator Reed’:; Futile Plea Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, is asking the people of the country to flood Congress with telegrams ask ing the defeat of the Roosevelt inflation program. Now, Senator, you don't know your stuff. The people at large do not want to defeat inflation. They want to defeat you, Mills, and Mellon, and let the country get fair play and honest government. The people know you and your gang, Mr. Reed. They know it's you, and your fellows, who have robbed them so long. They are tired of you and they are going to wire their president and Congress men to stand pat against you and utterly rout your kind of government from its baneful influence over free and fair government. Regulating the Sale of Beer Beer must be a mighty dangerous thing. At least our legislators must think so. They have turned it loose on the public, and now they are acting about it just as they would if a menagerie was suddenly opened and all the animals let loose. They know the danger, and so are trying to tie it in places where it will not trouble folks. They know that it is just | as dangerous in a community, to men, women, and children, as a man-eating tiger would be. Father and mother can drink all the beer they want, but son and daughter can not. You can sell it around any kind of corner or in any kind of place, except a church or school. So far as we know, the devil can not stand the influence of the church, and every body knows beer or any other kind of alcohol will destroy a school. After all, there is just a slight ray of reason to j thank our legislators for trying to place a little re- 1 striction on the evil of alcohol. They are like old ; Judas; they have betrayed a great principle by loos- ! ing alcohol, and now they are slightly penitent and are trying to minimize the danger by caging as many of the dangerous animals as they can. The liquor legislation in the nation, so far, has been 1 sponsored, outlined, and passed by the powerful in- j fiuence of a few very wealthy beer barons, who have | just one purpose—to make money from stupid men. Reserve Banks Partly To Blame The Federal Reserve Banks were, to a great exente, responsible for the financial collapse which recently took place in this country. They went out of the banking business in a large measure and discarded the usual functions of service they were supposed to render, devoting their atten tion to the bond business. For instance, the Richmond branch of the Federal Reserve cut its discounts in half and went into the bond business, increasing its holding of United States securities by 142 per cent, which made it almost impossible for member banks to get accommodation on any kind of security, although the member banks had largely increased their deposits with that branch. This is further proof that our Government should take over and handle its entire money system and not delegate the power to outsiders. Under the Beacon Light _.By WALTER H. PARAMORE This issue oj the Roanoke Beacon is dedicated to Miss Eugenia Patterson, who in her activities as home demonstration agent of W ashington County, has won the esteem oj the officials by whom she is employed and has doubly so won the hearts oj the women and girls with whom sho works in her junctions as a leader among the women. Under her leadership the women learn to make their homes more tidy and learn to economize so that they can save and help preserve what the hard-work ing man earns in these rugged days of depression. Not only this, but the ladies are adept at remodeling old furniture and apparel to make it look new to take the place of a new garment or a modern piece of house hold equipment. Not only this, but this women takes it on herself to be useful among the women in many ways. She promotes health among the women and their chil dren. She shows them how to improve their house hold with conveniences at a minimum expense. And she arranges meetings so that the women can improve their talent so as to serve in public without that em barassing timidity that used to afflict rural women. And then she blends her efforts in bringing the town and the country women together. Ehe aids the women through the curb market to sell their produce. And equally as valuable, she arranges for the urban dwell er to get fresh produce for his table. She visits the sick members and aids the poverty stricken in a com munty. So the Beacon hands this bouquet to this work er—“Blessed is the county that has employed in its midst a leader to promote health, wealth, so ciability, and economy among the women and their girls so that these who have once been neg lected can enjoy some oj the happiness afforded othrs oj their station in life and who uses her talents in church and community activities as well.” ——o This tale from Eddie Getsinger, of Dardens. ' Washington," announced the street-car conductor. A man alighted. A little further the trolley stopped again, and the conductor said. “Jefferson." More pas sengers stepped out. “Monroe,” yelled the conductor, and the southern negro stepped from the New York car door. At his feet lay a pocketbook containing exactly $2.16. This he slipped into his pocket. A man asked him on the street for number 216, and he handed the money to the stranger. Back home he said: “No, sir, boss; don't like New York. When man on car called Mon roe I go off just like Washington and Jefferson, when they were called. Then a stranger said he was look ing for 216- and I handed him the pocketbook I found. They know you too well up there.’’ -o Columnist s personal nominations for Roper High School senior annual: Margaret Collins as prettiest girl.—Jack Hassell most polite.—Edward Marriner, quietest.—Edward Spruill, jr., most dignified.—Fran ces Chesson, prettiest waitress at recent banquet.— Julia Gibson, best entertainer (tap dancer).—Hand somest boy is Henry Everett.—Miss Ruth McKellar as most reserved teacher.—E.
