We have undertaken the job of doing everything for the child, even picking him up at his home and sitting him down in the school room, which must be ideal from the standpoint of comfort. We are probably teaching, and certainly leading the children be believe that there is nothing but a life of ease bliss ahead of them, and they will probably never learn that what has been done for them was through effort and sacrifice and that they themselves will have to undergo some hardships in order to carry the succeeding generation as far as they themselves have gone. The idea that a mile or two is too far to walk to schoolfi which v.e are teaching to our children, may come back to us all over North Carolina when the negro begins to demand transportation: and then we will find the truck cost nearly doubled. Work has become so easy that we are having to invent play to balance the body in order that it may have the proper strength. Our school >ystem may be perfest. We do not know. But look out for rising costs. Green Pastures, Indeed The Green Pastures celebration at Charlotte re cently was a c rr.plete success. The people generally der the wise guidance of President Roosevelt, who has changed conditions in the country from a barren waste and general financial dilapidation into a veri table green pasture of success and financial independ ence. Truly, the redemption from the slavery of debt and its attending burdens, the great change in the general condition of things, makes us want to repeat feel that we are truly dwelling in green pastures, un the words of the Psalmist when he wrote: “He mak eth me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me by still waters; He restoreth my soul.” Keep Your Eyes on Germany Germany now proposes to take back her lost col onies. We have always thought the Allied armies should have gone farther, crossed the Rhine and gone on into Berlin in 1918. The German Government was solely responsible for every man's death in the great World \\ ar, for the millions of wounded, and for the billions wasted; and now she is preparing for another great slaughter. If Germany sets out to regain her lost territory by starting another war, it is hardly likely that she will stop when she gets her colonies back but will go on as far as she can and grab all the new territory pos sible. The German leaders want to kill Democracy and destroy all the Jews. We must not take our eyes off of Germany. She will strike in the dark at the first opportunity. We cannot trust that “kamerad" talk under the present leadership. Thought More Important Than the Words Hertford County Herald The words President Roosevelt used two weeks ago in a speech at Chautauqua, N. Y., were praised by newspaper critics as the most forceful and vigorous use he has ever made of the language in all of his numerous public utterances. The passage from his speech that drew the praise of the literary critics was: ‘•1 have seen blood running from the wounded. 1 have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities de stroyd. “1 have seen two hundred limping exhausted men come out of the line—the survivors of a regiment of one thousand that went forward forty-eight hours be fore. 1 have seen children starving. I have seen the agonies of mothers and wives. “I hate war.” We believe you can agree with those who say this is dramatic and forceful use of words. But more im portant than the mere words and their skillful use in describing the dreadfulness of war, is the thought that they express and the fact this thought should come trom the heart of the leader of the American govern ment. It is the thought that should possess all peo ple. It should be the thought of all leaders directing the policies of governments. It should be tne thought which will remove war for all time as an instrument of settling national disputes. 1936 Models All Gone Roanoke Rapids Herald A local automobile dealer informs us that he has no 1936 models of his car left for sale and his factory has started work on 1937 models without missing a day’s production. He can get no more 1936 cars from the factory and is scouring the countryside trying to find a dealer who has a model or so left in stock. This dealer doe snot even have a second-hand car for sale, having sold out of used cars also. There are more new automobiles on the streets of Roanoke Rapids today than ever before. There are mor automobiles here than ever before. The payrolls of Roanoke Rapids are larger than ever before. There are more people working here than ever before. “This man Roosevelt ....’’ Warren Stays in Congress Hertford County Herald Lindsay Warren will remain as the congressman from the first district and will not accept appoint ment as comptroller general, an appointment that au thoritative sources say it is certain will be offered him. That appointment would assure him unbroken tenure of a highly important office in the government j for 15 years at a salary equal that which he receives as Congressman, and without the wory and expense that goes with elective office, but he will decline the appointive post and continue to serve the people of the first district as their elective representative. We are glad of that. Warren could be of great service to the whole country as comptroller general, it is true; but it is very likely that other men can be found by the President who will make as good comptrollers as he. On the other hand, it is extremely unlikely that the first district could find another congressman who can serve it as well as he can. Note To Mulleteers The Charlotte News The Dare County Times comes up fairly yelling with the happy news that North Carolinians shouldn’t be alarmed at the prospect that white side meat may hit a peak of SO cents a pound before the winter is over. What if it does, asked the Times. We don't have to eat it. We eat, instead, keg after keg of salt mullet at the comfortably low price of 10 cents a pound, and spend the difference on—say—caviar, if we like. Having spoken, that journal realized what a pickle ment the salt mullet industry was in. There, in fact, wasn't any salt mullet industry any more, despite that ■ . . . there are no fish more tasty or nourishing than mullets . . . with good sweet potatoes and fine corn bread.” The business of catching and packing mullet once upon a time was an important industry along the coast. No family was so poverty stricken that it was unable to have as many of these as it desired, and no family was so selective in its table dishes that salt mullets in the winter had no place. We'd no idea the folks had grown away from the old stand-by win ter dish, and with the Times we join heartily in ad juring the mulleteers to be up and at 'em. We may need those mullets before spring and blackberries come again. Cure for “Bridgits” Gates County Index It is reported that the State Highway Commission has a sad case of "bridgits” on its hands as a result of its decision to spend around a million and a half dollars bridging Albemarle Sound into Highway Com missioner Julian Wood's home town of Edenton. If the Highway Commission wants some advice from us on a remedy for this malady, brought on by numer ous protests over the location selected for the bridge, we would say that the best way to get rid of the “bridgits,” a trouble something like the jitters or the advertised “coffee nerves,” would be to cut out the bridge and switch the million and a half dollars to building roads on land. Eastern North Carolina lias a lot of water around the edges, sounds, oceans and the like, but it also has a lot of mud right in its mid dle. However, if the Highway Commission and Com missioner Wood are plumb set on building a bridge that will link the South Albemarle and the North Albemarle sections together, giving the South Albe marle an outlet to the markets of the north for its farm produce by highway to restore the communica tion lost with the outside world when highway trans portation killed off the ancient method of water trans portation, we are for the bridge that costs the least and gives the most people the most service. That is a bridge across the Roanoke River from Plymouth into Bertie County. It will serve the same purpose as the million-and-a-half Edenton site and leave about two-thirds of that amount for building roads that are really needed—roads to take communities out of the mud. Choice News and Observer At Chautauqua, N. Y., Franklin D. Roosevelt said: 1 have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. 1 have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. 1 have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed ... I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. “I hate war.” At Avellino, in Italy, Benito Mussolini said: 'Italy, with war in Africa, has acquired an im mense, rich, imperial territory ... we reject the ab surdity of eternal peace, which is foreign to our creed and to our temperament.” Which will the world choose?
