Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the

NO MAN'S LAND
The ruling' of .Attorney-General Hairy
McMullen that the State liquor board has no
jurisdiction over the dry counties of the State
coincides with logic and the realities.
The board, which deals with the control
of "legal liquor," naturally could have no juris
diction over the distribution and sale of intoxi
cants in those counties where all liquor is ille
gal. Nor could the wet counties afford to finance
.such extraordinary control activities in dry
counties.
Hut the ruling tends to emphasize the cha
otic crazy-quilt liquor system we now have in
the State. And the decision of Mr. McMullen,
while fully justified under the circumstances,
makes the dry area of the State a sort of no
man't land in wfhich the distributor of bottled-in-bond
liquor can vie with the bootlegger of
moonshine liquors without any interference
from the State board of control.
Owing to the peculiar conditions now ex
isting in the State, the chances are that the dry
counties are now obtaining much more liquor of
various types than ever before, and the situa
tion will grow worse as time goes on unless the
public awakes to the moral hazards involved
and moves to apply the proper remedies.

WHAT WPA WORKERS OUGHT TO SAY
"I am a WPA worker.
"I realize tihat the funds which come to me
fnw the federal government are from the earn
ings of other citizens who earn their money in
the only way it can be earned by working.
"I understand that this money is not in
tended as charity, in the sense of the word that
is repugnant of self-respecting and self-reliant
Americans, but is intended more as a loan
against my citizenship than anything else. I
have been led to believe that I was accepting it
without any obligation, either, to anybody other
than the masses of American citizens through
whose toil this aid. is given me.
"Under these circumstances, I bitterly re
sent the attempt of any politician to dictate my
political sentiments, to give me the choice of
knuckling to his way of voting or of starving.
I resent the implication that I am the chattel
of any political party or faction, not only my
labor but my mind held in bondage to a self-seek-imy
political boss.
The effort to control my vote implies that,
through accepting the financial aid which comes
from all the masses of Americans, I have there
by surrendered my own citizenship and my self
: respect.
"When this pressure is put upon me to
vote this way or that way, regardless of what
I believe or what I think, I know what I am go
ing to do. .
"I am going to continue to eat, but I am
going to keep my self-respect, and my heritage
of citizenship in what has been, up to the present
at least, a free country. I will do lip service to
the demands of my political masters, but ex
press my choice on men or issues, I am going to
vote my own sentiments and not those who make
a shoddy mockery of American institutions by
attempting to build a political machine based
upon the want and destitution of a part of its
. citizens !" .,
We are not a WPA worker yet but if
we were, this would be our platform! It's the
only answer to the wholesale attempt to buy the
votes of the American people witih their own
tax money! Knoxville Journal.
FOR PERMANENT GOOD
There is no reason why the live-at-home
program should not find its finest fulfillment in
this section of North Carolina. We have rich,
well-drained soil; and year after year we have
been blessed with favorable weather and cli
matic conditions.
Trailing our other farm activities, though,
is our development of better livestock. Particu
larly is this true in connection with the milk
cows that are kept on our farms to assist in
providing for the family food supply.
Nothing pays a farm family bigger divi
dends than does a good cow that furnishes
plenty of good milk and butter. It is a poor
commentary on our farming system that pure
bread cows are so scarce in this county.
We know that this is a bad time of year
to talk about farmers paying out large sums of
money for improvements of any kind. But we
now have a fine crop coming on, and there is
every reason in the world to believe that seas
onal prosperity will be enjoyed by our farmers
this fall. With this optimistic outlook in mind,
we do not believe that it is a bad idea for our
farmers to resolve now to invest a part of their
this year's income to livestock improvements
and we mean this with particular reference
to the family cow. Whiteville News Reporter.
"REYNOLDS FOR PRESIDENT"
The noise about a mass meeting of Demo
crats in Raleigh soon to launch a "Reynolds for
President boom" is interesting, if it is interest
ing, because it flows from Mayor Tom Cooper
of Wilmington, and because there were rumors
during the Reynolds-Hancock campaign that a
Reynolds victory would set the stage for a
"Cooper for governor" organized movement.
Then it is interesting, too, because Cooper
and his Wilmington cohorts aim their sharpest
darts at what they term centralization at Ral
eigh While their bedfellow, Reynolds, is at Wash
ington "carrying brick" for ultra centralization.
But, pondered soberly, there is about as
much sense in a "Reynolds for President" mass
meeting in Raleigh as there is in the "Bailey for
President" palaver that is heard from distant
places. Our own notion is that all either amount
to is political exercise for those making the
noise with perhaps a feeling of importance on
the part of the boosted.
Getting down to bottom, we suspect the
substance behind Mayor Cooper's motion to
stage a presidential boom meeting for Reynolds
is that Mayor Cooper calculates a good way to
promote his gubernatorial ambitions is to swing
onto Reynold's coattail, so to speak. And
Reynolds well, he is too much of a good poli
tical sport to refuse the use of his coattail.

30 MILLIONS WORTH OF FOG
Allen Keller, writing in the New York
World-Telegram, discloses that it is costing the
American people annually 30 million dollars for
the New Deal to tell them what it is doing or
proposes to do.
According to this authority, of the grist
turned out by this $30,000,000 mill (and the
estimate of cost is conservative) approximate
ly 700,000,000 pieces of mail are distributed by
the government under the franking privilege
each year, or enough to fill 1,750 freight cars.
In the convincing judgment of The Nash
ville Banner. "New Deal statesmanship is as
expensive as the commodity itself." That news
paper calls it "$30,000,000 worth of condensed
vapor." Charlotte Observer.
The reason men have to have pockets is
they can't stick things down their necks the
way the women do.
TWO MINUTE SERMON
BY THOMAS HASTWELL
THE ALABASTER BOX OF THOUGHTFULNESS
In the book of Mark appears the beautiful story
of the woman, who, one day during the last week of
Christs ministry on earth, broke upon his head an ala
baster box of prescio'jo ointment. Because of the act
she was criticised by several of the group who deemed
it a heedless waste. Christ rebuked her critics and
shamed them into silence. The picture is one of strik
ing contrasts. On the one hand we see a group of
followers who had been with the Christ for three years,
yet here within the last week of his earthly ministry,
when the shadow of the cross had already darkened his
pathway, they found fault with this gift of devotion
and revealed that they did not yet understand him,
nor his teachings, nor his mission upon the earth. On
the other hand was a woman. Little is known about
her. She was not included among the chosen disciples.
She had had little opportunity to sit at her Master's
feet and learn from his deeds and teachings, yet she
was willing to give a costly gift because of her devotion.
No wonder the Christ silenced her critics. Here in his
last days on earth, with Gethsemane but a few hours
away, when fellowship and understanding and loyal
devotion were most needed, his own followers did not
understand. Only the woman understood. Hers was
the last earthly touch of ministering love and devotion
that the master received before he faced the cross. How
often it happens today, that we, buried in the things that
fill our days, forget, until it is too late, to render the
thoughtful little services that mean so much. The
smallest service may be more prescious than the rarest
alabaster box of costly ointment. It is prescious, not
because of its great cost, but because of the thought
fulness, and the sympathy, and the understanding that
prompts its giving.
