YOUTH MOVEMENT THAT DOESN'T SEEM
To MOVE

Most significant item to us in the account of
that dinner with which the Young Democrats of
North Carolina celebrated Jackson Day was the
point of origin of the kilograms in which the past
and the present hetmen of the national Young
Demos sent greetings to the assembly. Both were
from Washington, D. c. Both are employed there,
Not from this circumstance alone Is it to be in
ferred, that the Young Democrats have dstin-
guished themselves so far solely by showing their
elders thing or two in the way of job-getting.
Remember their Washington convention, and how
| they chafed under the speeches of men high in
governmental affairs until Farley, thevpatronage
chief, came onto the rostrum to receive an ova-
ton? Remember how Mrs May Thompson Evans
| state president and presently an employee of the
state government, once exclaimed ,joyously 81 sec
a glorious future for the Young Democrats OF
North Carolina. The national administration has
contacted us on appointments and other matters?
But it is not alone in the manifestation of straws
showing in which way blows the wind that the
Young Democrats of state and nation are seen tc
be just another political machine without idealism
1t is in the utter absence of any evidence to the
contrary. Their power to affect elections is with
held ntil.the discord of the Democratic primaries
had subsidized and harmony been restored. There
upon the Young Democrats unite to bring about
the elevation to office of a candidate who NAV he
good or worse but significantly, is invariably
Democratic. Their influence in the publication and
the liberalization of the state Democratic party
has been conspicuous mainly by it's absence.-The

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
WE BELIEVE IN AMERICA

We get little tired sometimes of nearing peo-
pie run down America. In the newspapers ana
magazines that come to our attention we see many
articles which appear to have been written Tor the
purpose of making readers believe that the United
States is on its last legs, that We have got to dis
card everything that has been done in the past ana
change the whole nation over into something mod
elled on Russia or Italy or Germany, or were
going to be sunk And there is no end to the
books novels and others, whose sole theme is that
we Americans are pretty. low-grade, incompetent
set of ignoramuses, lacking in Couture" and in
telligence, not to be compared with the enlight-
ened and high-cultured ctizenry of other nations
We do not believe the authors Of these books,
stories and articles mean precisely what they seem
to imply. If we thought so for minute we would
be glad to join a movement to Danish them 10
these other countries that they think are so ST.
perior to our own. Rightly understood, much Of
this sort of talking springs from the peculiarly
American passion for Self-improvement. 1t has Its
roots in the same urge that sent our ancestors
from other countries to this one, the urge to find
a better way of life These gentlemen see defects
in our cvilization-which everyone must admit
there are-and by magnifyng those defects hope
that the public will be sufficiently stirred up to do
something about them But the net effect of their
diatrbes upon the young and impressonable is to
make them feel inferior to the people of other
lands, and to regard their country rather low

There is nothing wrong with America We say
that in the full knowledge that there still a
great many persons out OF work, q great many
people who have hard struggle to make both
ends meet. Whatever is wrong with America, we
are ten times better off than the people of any
other country we know anything about. And,
whatever may be wrong with our country, there
is distinctly American way of fixing it, and the
American people now, as they have always done
in the past, will find and apply their own rene

FARMERS AND. PESSIMIsM

One of the big distractions to farm progress in
the South is widespread, unfounded pessmism with
reference to the conditions of agriculture Many
so-caied agricultural leaders, who are little more
than agitators, have converted many farmers into
professional, pessimists. About all we have heard
about the farm for the last generation is an elabo-
ration of its hopeless, condition. .,.r.. ..
Pesslmism is always forerunner of death Il
always destroys. 1t never helps anything. No nor
NAL person wants to hive near pessirnist Pessm-
ISM has done more to injpre agriculture and de-
stroy farm life than everything else combined.
When, country boys and girls hear nothing but
the hardships of the farm and the hopeless con-
ditions of agriculture it is not strange that they
leave the farm at the first opportunity. No nor
NAL, healthy boy or girl wants to be bound to any
thing that is dying. -, .,,. ,...s. ..,
There is sort of justification for this pessim-

better opportunities for real life achievement than

Editor, The Times-NeWs:
am enclosing some verses l
would like to see printed in your
paper. Perhaps they might cause
someone to see a wrong they
have done someone, somewhere.
These verses of truth and COM
mand. taken from different chap
tiers in the Bible combined to-
gether, reveal a great lesson that
should be given much thought:
Proverbs 24-2S-Be not wit
ness against thy neighbor with
out cause and deceive not with
thy lips. Debate thy cause with
thy neighbor thyself and discover
not secret to another.
Proverbs 25-1S-A man that
beareth false witness against his
neighbor is maui and sword
and a sharp arrow. Every way
of a man is right in his own eyes,
but. the Lord pondereth the
heart.
Proverbs 15-5-A faithful wit
ness will not lie but a false wit
ness will utter lies.
Proverbs 21-19-It is better to
dwell in the wilderness than with
contentious and an angry wo-
man.
Proverbs 3-30-Strive not with
man without cause if he hath
done thee no harm.
Proverbs 3-27-Withhold not
good from them to whom it is
due, when it is in the power of
thine hand to do it.
