NEED FOR CENSORSHIP

News reels being displayed on local screens and
elsewhere in North Carolina are depicting the &C
Invites in distleries preparatory to the repeal of
the 18th Amendment
The Free Press believes that there is need for
censorship and the complete elimination of such
pictures. Unquestionably the showing of the &C
tivities in disteres is advertising the liquor bust
Such advertising in dry territory is contrary
to the federal laws and it is certainly contrary to
the laws of North Carolina.
The city authorities of Kinston should take &C
tion if the management of the theatres doesn't
voluntarily cut out that portion of news reels
which is contrary to the spirit if not the letter of
the law.
The youth of Kinston and Lenoir county do not
need to have the inner workings of the liquor bust
ness paraded before them when they are permitted
to go to the moving pictures for recreation and
amusement The portrayal of domestic infidelity,
gangland pictures and other scum of society is bad
enough Let's eliminate the liquor busness.-The
Kinston Free Press.

HALF-PAID ALREADY

The big bad wolf can't be so very fierce when
thousands of Charlotte taxpayers flock to the city
hall and plank down nearly 100000 in 1888 taxes
in the first month of collection, and by so doing
pay up more than So per cent of the years levy.
If that isn't indication of returning confidence
we would like to know what is Taxation is the
most onerous burden that we mortals are called
upon to bear, and when Charlotte citizens pay up
half of the years levy in months time it is time
to applaud and greet prosperity as it comes around
the corner
City officials are at loss to know the reason for
such prompt payment if improvement in the gen.
eral economic situation is not responsible Last
year at this same time only Is per cent of the
taxes had been paid-Charlotte Observer

Failing OF The
Stars Occurred
Just loo Yrs. Ago

Today is the Tooth anniversary
of "the failing of the stars" in
line with Bible prophecy, accord
ing to w. D. Dortch, who says in
an article sent to The Times-News
that "Jesus is coming soon.' TIE
article follows:
Zone of the last signs which
Jesus gave His disciples of His
second coming-and signs which
were hung out in the heavens
was the falling Of the stars, as
given in Matt. 24-and in Rev 6.
John, the revelator tells of the
event: 81 beheld when He ha !!
opened the Sixth Seal-and 10
there was a great earthquake E.
and the stars of heaven fell into
the earth: even as a fig tree cast
eth her untimely figs when she IS
shaken by mighty wind (Rev.
6:12,13.
"Then on Nov. l., 1855, the
Lisbon earthquake shook approx
mately one-ffth of the surface Of
the earth" This surely fulfilled
the above prophecy-sO we VIII
look for some great display or dis
turbance in the heavens this side
of 1855 resembling the falling of
the stars. And on Nov. -, 1888,
there was the falling of the stars
that meets the requirements of
the Masters prediction. A num-
Der of leading newspapers COM
mented on this wonderful phe-
nomenon. The American Journal
of Science and Arts quotes from
one eyewitness: "There was
scarcely a space in the armament
which was not filed at every in
slant with falling stars" One
would scarcely charge the New
York Evening Post with sentiment
tality. The issue for Wednesday,
Nov. Ia, 1888, reports: A person
who witnessed this phenomenon
describes the appearance present
ed in the heavens as magnificent
beyond conception" The Morn
ing Courier and New York Inquir-
er of Nov. IA, 1888. carried much
the same story.
"Do you know the language Of
the falling stars? Have you been
able to read the "sky writing" Of
the King? It's admonition is most
reasonable since Jesus is coming

A DICTATORSHIP UNDER POPULAR
CONTROL
CBy BRUCE CATTON)

When Stanley Baldwin, former prime
minister to England, declared the other
day that the American constitution has
broken down and that Americans today
are practically under dictatorship" he
expressed a misconception which his dis
lance from the scene of action makes quite
understandable.
What is much less easy to understand is
the fact that there are some people on this
side of the water who share in that mis-
conception.
In part, this miSconceptiOn represents
genuine bewilderment over the puzzling
things that have happened since last
March In part, also, it stands for one of
those synthetic dead cats" which General
Hugh S. Johnson has been talking about.
Either way, it deserves a little straight
talk.
If we have dictatorship today, it only
can be said that it is by all odds one of the
queerest and most unacceptable of die
tatorships ever erected anywhere.
Every single thing that is being done to-
day is being done as a result of the vote
of the people of America, either directly
or through their representatives.
The President was put into office by
popular vote. The powers he exercises
were given him by vote of Congress. The
whole framework of emergency legislation
which we call the recovery program came
through Congress.
And that is only half of it. A new Con-
gress takes office in January. 1t can, if it
chooses, repeal every paragraph of this
legislation If it disapproves of what the
executive has been doing, it can render
him impotent.
1t has the power to throw him out #
office if he steps over the boundary of the
executives proper sphere.
On top of all that, it is an obvious fact
that success of the new DEAF depends
first, last and all the time on popular SUP
port The minute the public at large dis
approves of it, the cards go back into the
deck.
A program which appeals for the volun-
tary cooperation of millions of people IS
not the sort of thing dictator can shove
down "a country's throat.
Why is all this worth saying, since it IS
so obJ ious? Because we are beginning to
hear this talk of dictatorship more and
more frequently of late; and because most
of it il cloak of selfish opposition, which
prefers not to appear in its proper guise.
Thij is not to say that no one can oppose
the recovery program. 1t simply means
that any such opposition must rest on the
right foundation.
There are plenty of reasons for criticiz-
ing the administrations facts-but this die
tatOrship business is not one of them.

kORE ABOUT SPEAKERS
WHO DON'T SHOW UP

Editor of Daily Worker,
Dear, Comrade:--
1t has become the practice OF
some Of the outstanding members
and speakers Of the movement to
agree to appear and speak at var
ioIs groups and affiliated meetings,
to allow their appearance to be
widely advertised, and to drop out
at the last minute.
cite as an example the meeting
ut the Central Opera House on Dec.
% In. celebration Of Gorky's 10th
anniversary. The list of speakers
scheduled was an imposing one and
was responsible to q large extent
for the full attendance. Two speak
ers came: Joseph Freeman and
Comrade Olgln.
The three other speakers, Michael
Gold, John Dos Passos, Louise
Thompson did not even put in an
appearance. BY a, curious cqinci-
dence they were all sick at the
same time.
1t, is hardly, fair TO the many
comrades, workers and friends OF
the, movement to have these fall
tlres occur time and time again.
Many workers loudly expressed
their disappointment. Some Of
tered tho ckErpssscu tngt they had
