Friday, May 29, 1936 Untrue Statements V This is going to be one year in which many people will have to take back many of their statements, be cause they have made so many untrue remarks. They are saying things that are entirely untrue in nearly every instance, and the worst of it is that many peo ple know they are lying, but their only idea is to car ry their own points at the time, regardless of the method. This kind of politics often keep the best men from offering their services to the public, while the offices go to many of the “slummiest” fellows of a commun ity who are not fitted for office from any standpoint and who generally draw their crowd of the same ilk to push them through. Even our law-making bodies too frequently contain such men. We need to be diligent in selecting honest, sensi ble, capable men to serve us in any capacity. Cracking the Lash Is there anyone in politics in North Carolina so common, vile and corrupt that he will stoop so low as to intimidate an humble laborer by threatening the loss of his job unless he votes for the powers in au thority? A few years ago it was the common practice to turn the workers in the Highway Commission from the roads to go out in the service of one particular candidate. This year only a few cases have been spotted where such tactics have been practiced. In some cases the lash has been cracked. Some employees of private business concerns have been quietly reminded that wages would probably go low er if certain candidates are elected, and some workers in the administration set-up are getting the word that their jobs are dependent upon themselves. Perhaps those workers are not aware that if headquarters should hear of any such threats or intimations the makers would themselves be immediately dismissed. Everyone should remember that he has the guaran teed right to exercise his freedom in his own way, particularly where the ballot is concerned. If he gets a threat or a discharge, he should not fail to report it. An Opportunity Lost The nations of the world have lost their oppor tunity. At the time when Italy was feeling them all out and pressing for the opportunity to go forward with her Ethiopian campaign, most of the nations, feeling that they were dealing with a civilized country and in a spirit of saving themselves from war and possibly a world disturbance, permitted Mussolini to wage his cruel war, the nations apparently thinking more of their Italian trade relationships lhan they did of the welfare of the poor, benighted and helpless Ethiop ians. Perhaps the main trouble with the world is that we love trade more than we love our neighbors; we had rather sell bullets for profit than to enjoy peace. It is good that we do not hate people. On the oth er hand, it is bad that we are willing to stand by and see the big fish eat the little fish provided we can ujst get our share of the little fish. Nobody believes for a moment that Germany s in vasion of Belgium was the cause of the World War. It was the knowledge that the Germans were bent on beseiging Paris, annexing France, then crossing the channel to seize the British navy and then probably sail west bent on further conquests. That was the reason the allied forces rushed to the aid of Belgium. No one knows now which country Italy wants to take next. It may be Greece or Switzerland or it may be Palestine and Egypt. Of course, she is count ing the cost of a new’ Roman Empire, and it means much bloody war. Befouling His Own Nest Why does Sandy Graham find comfort in his criti cism of the State Administration, of which he is a part —in fact, second on the list? And, according to the estimate of many North Carolinians, he is really the most objectionable part of the administration. Just what does Sandy mean by charging that the administration is all bad, except himself? Has he re formed and gotten to be better than his official asso ciates? What has driven him to condemn his asso ciates—or is he just seeking votes in a fit of despera tion and thinks condemnation of the administration of which he is a part is the best way to get them? We do not like a bird that will befoul its own nest. Political Extremists You can hear just about everything in politics these days with the exception of angel's songs and wing flapping. And at times, when some of these fellows take up their line of self-praise, you expect every min ute to see an angel; that is, until they begin to criti cize the other fellow; then you can hear the heat roar ing and smell brimstone. It is indeed remarkable to see the depths to which a politician can sink when he gets too hungry for of fice or when the old lash begins to pop. The Japanese Menace Conservative thinkers seem to look at Japanese tactics in China as really alarming. It is feared they may lead to the beginning of a great war, leading to a world conquest, perhaps with a view to amalgamat ing the yellow race into a great Eastern Empire to eventually overrun the other nations of the earth, and particularly the Caucasian and English-speaking countries. Hoover Wheat or Roosevelt Wheat? In 1932, 716 bushels of Hoover wheat brought the farmers exactly the same amount of money that 230 bushels of Roosevelt wheat brings the same farmer now. Farmers would indeed do well to consider that Mr. Roosevelt's 230 bushels of wheat for the same amount of cash in hand is worth more than Mr. Hoover's 716 bushels “just around the corner.” How About a Secretary of Peace? We have a Secretary of War and a Secretary of the Navy in our national cabinet, while our greatest need is a Secretary of Peace. It is the business of our War and Navy Secretaries to prepare for war, when our chief need is peace. Yet we have no agency or individuals working for peace except volunteers. Let us have a department that will teach peace rather than war. Justice and Politics The chief Federal detective and leading G-man of the country, J. Edgar Hoover, struck the keynote plumb and square when he said recently that politics is public enemy No. 1. This will be found to be very true whenever an attempt is made to try to enforce the law. The law is required to be enforced by po litical judges, political lawyers, witnesses who have friends guilty of similar crimes, and jurors, many of whom are in like condition. It is generally hard to mete out justice under such circumstances Too Good for Republicans Republican newspapers in general are forgetting to print the statement of Mrs. William Howard Taft, wife of the late ex-President, endorsing President Roosevelt’s administration, in the following words: “It will be disastrous if President Roosevelt is not re-elected, but I beleive he will be.” That is the type of news just too good and too true for the Republicans to relish, yet it shows the spirit of an honest heart. A Weak Condition Scotland Neck Commonwealth “On condition they marry”—those words are fre quently seen on court judgment records. Just the other day in Johnston County a 15-year-old girl, bound for Samarcand because of moral lelinquency, was allowed her freedom when a justice of the peace married her to her lover. In passing, it may be said that her mother got into trouble with the law because she persisted in making and selling intoxicants and then got into a fight with the officers when they came to make the arrest. On one side of the statute books of this state, there is a law that admits sterilization. On the other side, there is a law, or perhaps the word policy would be more agreeable with barristers, that permits law breakers in certain cases to marry and escape execu tion of prison sentences. There is little wonder that society is still filled with undesirables, mentally defiicient and unsightly charges. The law permits just the thing it allows to be taken away. It is just another case in which the law makes its own loopholes. The Town’s Streets Scotland Neck Connnonwealth Pity the poor, emaciated street cleaner, that rein carnation of the one-horse shay, that wobbly struc ture that arouses the dust in all its fury and noncha lantly groans as it is being pulled about town. Inas much as it has been a habit to travel about these many years, it apparently thinks it a divine duty to continue, even if its efforts are fruitless. But pity the poor cleaner, for it is doing its best. Sunday afternoon autoists who park in front of the down-town drug stores should realize what an im position is their act of throwing straws and paper cups on the streets and sidewalks. Nor is it sightly; nor is it pleasing to inadvertently step upon a cup and hear its discarded contents gurgle and slush un der the foot. Clean-up week has just been—should we say ob served? Apparently it is gone and forgotten, much to the sorrow of those persons who delight in keep ing the community a feast to the residents and tran sients. So pity the por street sweeper; remember that there are some persons who like to see the town clean, and keep those used cups and straws for some ash can. It is only there that they will be appreciated. (Paid Advertisement) THE LETTER-BOX -» •KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT” Mr. Editor: You were kind enough some time ago to allow me the use of your paper to bring to the mind of the public some of the needs of the Negroes of Washington County, and especially of Plymouth, from an educational as well as from an economic standpoint. I feel, in a measure, that the things advocated by me have been realized to the great advantage of the Negro teach ers of Washington County as well as to both races economically. The late Judge W. M. Bond is re membered for his qualities as a gen tleman and as a citizen, for his for ensic powers as an advocate at the bar, and as a just judge. His slo gan was “Keep the record straight.’’ It is for this purpose that I am ad dressing the public through the med ium of your paper. The committee of the Washington County Training School some days ago notified the principal, W. M. Berry, that his services as such had Leen dispensed with beginning with the term 1936. Petitions are being circulated in the community asking the board of trustees to rescind its action and re appoint W. M. Berry for another year. To the more ignorant of my group, and by means of approach, it is being stated that the action of the board in dispensing with the services of the principal was due to some effort upon my part. The statement is untrue, libelous, and to effect of underrating the wisdom of the board of trustees in its offic ial capacity to discharge the duties of its office. The discharge of the principal, for the good of the school, as well as the community has its precedents in both the white and negro schools of Plymouth; however, the circula tion of petitions to the board of trustees to rescind its action is with out precedent and, to my mind, is an attack upon the discretionary acts as well as an insult to its in telligence. The 1:< ard of trustees to my mind has reasons for its actions and the conditions obtaining then obtain now. I have not talked to the board of trustees, or any member thereof, concerning the discharge or the em ployment of any teacher for the year 1936. The veracity of this statement is well known by each member of the board. I feel that the action of the board of trustees was taken for the best interest of the school and the com munity at large and its action meets with the approval of the members of my group who have had educa tional contacts sufficient to judge and know what progress means. The board, perhaps, took cogni zance of the facts that five years have elapsed under the administra tion of W. M. Berry as principal of the school and not one seat is in the auditorium, not one curtain is in the building, not one thing has been constructively, notwithstand ing the receipts from sale of candy, receipts from public dances, enter tainments, basketball games, and admissions from school closings, to gether with a charge of 5 cents for each student’s examination. The board of trustees, to my mind, has acted with a view to the duties owed the state, the county and the progress of the negroes of Washington County, and its action heretofore taken in the regard to the principal should stand.
