NEWSPAPERS OPINION
"REcKLESS" AND DRUNKEN"

cantain Farmer. of the North Carolina HIGHWAY
natrol. announces that beginning January a St'i'
MORO determined campaign is to be launched Oy
:. - r.;rs+ drunken and reckless drivers OF
motor cars.
with . nrobable total of five hundred licenses
rovo<ed this month, the promise of Captain Farmer
is indeed encouraging. 1t is pointed out Shat laF
larger number of fatal accidents are caused py
rackless drivers than by drunken drivers For tha'
reason the public should give heed to the follow
ing challenge of the highway patrol chief:
eve are going to do our part in arrestlng these
dangerous drivers and bringing them into court
Il will then be up to the various judges as TO
whether they give them fines and sentences that
will retard this reckless driving or merely let them
off with light fines costs"
More and more revocatons of drivers licenses
for reckless driving are expected during January,
due to the fact that driver has to be twice con-
ycted of reckless driving before his license can be
revoked The files in the highway safety division
already contain hundreds of names of those who
have already been arrested and convicted one time
for reckless driving. Whenever of these is ar
rested and convicted second time, his or her
drivers license will automatically be revoked, un-
der the law The reason so many more licenses
have been revoked to date for drunken driving is
that these are revokable after one conviction for
drunken driving.
The revocation of licenses for drunken driving
and the publication of the names of those whose
licenses have been revoked is already reducing the
amount of drunken driving, Captain Farmer said

WHERE AMERICA BALKS

Franklin D. Roosevelt may go down in history
as one of the great presidents of the United States
He may take place with George Washington, who
nurtured an infant collection of states into great
nation; with Thomas jefferson, the patron saint Of
human rights; with Abraham Lincoln, who held the
union together; with Woodrow Wilson, evangel of
world peace. Roosevelt may become lmmortallzed
as the president who weaned the country away
from democracy and led it by easy stages into a
modified form of socialism.
But it is extremely doubtful. If the present Lit
erary Digest poll means anything at all, it means
that the United States is prepared to balk obdr-
rately at socialistic movements. 1t does not like
AAA cooperative enterprises 1t does not like
iva yardsticks. 1t does not like all and sundry
of the New Deal movements which have bounced
off the Constitution. A million straw voters in Al
states have spoken and those in 80 states have ex
pressed their opposition. Eleven Soldly Southern
Democratic states, either by preference or loyalty
to the admnistraton-these eleven and Utah are
for the New Deal
Some day this country may go socialistic, or COM
munstic, or fascistic, even monarchlstic, but
when it does, and if, there is no reason why it
should go piece-meal; no reason why it should
lombard the Constitution with invalid laws, no rea-
son why it should nibble at the idea with sem-so-
cialistic measures; reason why it should enter
socialism through back doors, side doors and WIN
dows. When this country desires to consider chang
ing it's form of government, all it has to do is to
call an election and vote. If and when it Graves
socialism it ought to be allowed to go to it in big
way. But in the meantime, the straw voters, the
trail blazers of American sentiment, balk at the
idea and the chances are that democracy will be
with US for quite time yet.-Charlotte News.

INTERESTING sidelights on the

1t appears from this report that

terranean weeks ago. 1t doesn't
speak we'll for the italian spy
system, but the British warships,
said this report, were in the east

tator knew they had passed the
Straits of Gibraltar. Mussolini at
once prepared to negotiate for
peace.
But the French ambassador at

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

states surrender their powers to
the national capitol, that moment
the forty-eight states cease to be
a union. They then become sub
jects and dependencies.
Remember this: A vital differ
ence between the forty-eight
states and the federal government
is this: The forty-eight states can
do anything which is not prohibit
ed bv the national constitution.
Whereas, the federal government
can not do anything which is not
specifically authorized by the ma
tional constitution.
And remember this also: There
is no provision in our national
constitution whereby the states
can initiate a national law and
compel congress to pass it; or re-
ouire that national law which
has been passed by congress be
submitted to the states for an
proval.
Once a power has been trans
ferred from the states to the fed
eral government, that power may
be lost to the states forever. 1t is
always easier to give up a right
than to regain It
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1935-12-31

But once the constitution Is
amended. there is no way of cor
recting that amendment except
through a congress willing to sub
nit such correction to the states
for ratification.
1t is very much easier for the
forty-eight states to surrender
their sovereign powers than ever
to regain them after they have
surrendered them.
The founders of our govern
ment had in mind setting it up in
such way that no Mussolini with
q following of black shirts, or red
shirts, or any other kind of shirts,
could seize this country simply
by Selling Washington, as Mus
solini seized Italy by Selling
Rome. ..

WHAT THE NEXT YEAR BRINGS TO US
WILL BE PRETTY MUCH WHAT
WE DESERVE TO GET
(By BRUCE CATTON)


Probably there is no better proof OF the
fact that man is an incurable optimist than
the ancient custom of saying Happy New
Year."
That phrase represents little more than
lust a pious hope that things will go well
in the next II months. 1t springs from an
uneasy realization that we somehow didn't
manage to do quite as we'll with the last II
as we had hoped to do, and that once
year is by no means too often to take stock
of past mistakes and get a new grip on the
future.
From the lowly mortal who hopefully
swears off cigars to the world statesmen
who resolves to give his people slightly
better break henceforward, we all come up
to the start of new year with feeling
that it is up to us to take brace. If a
glance at our pasts makes us pessimistlc,
we can at least become hopeful again by
looking forward.
So we make our New Years resolutions
and set out to run one more lap against the
old gentleman with the scythe and the
whiskers; and if our performance never
quite comes up to what we expect of it, we
at least do edge ourselves forward little
bit-which, in an imperfect and sinful
world, is something.
And if we took the time to sit down and
think about it, we might discover that that,
after all, is the way the world as whole
makes most of its progress-by slow, pain
full inches, with many back-sliding and
many a skinned knee and bruised foot, and
not by sudden, spectacular leaps.
The landscape is fairly we'll cluttered up
these days with all kinds of gentlemen who
want to lead us up to the millennium by
day after tomorrow Some of them talk
grandly of the revolution in which every
hill shall be made low and every valley
shall be exalted some of them would set
tie all our troubles by turning the currency
inside out, or by deporting all labor organ.
izers, or by instituting universal system
OF eugenics offhand, or by having all stock
spectators hanged, or by putting the al,
lars OF state into the hands of black
brown or stuffed shirts.
We shall hear good deal of and fron
all of these people in 1886, for the worlc
is in mortal bad way and it may we'll gel
worse before it starts to get better. And j
might help us to remember that in the Ions
run the world makes it's progress much a
we ordinary individuals make ours-by
slow stages, adding bit of horse sense
here and an extra inch of common decency
and kindness there, and not by, cure-al
panaceas or wild whirligigs.. ... 49,.
For the painful truth is that there ism
any short cut to blessedness. The new yea
viii bring us just about what we have go
coming to us, as individuals and as a world
1t won't rise above the levels we set for our
selves. The most we can do is resolve t
make it just little better than the las
year. If we do that, and keep at it, w
shall be doing all that we can do.

more things happen these days to encourage it,
than ever known. An old cranky galute, out in
California, started propaganda for an old age
pension of 200 dollars per month. Nobody, outside
of his little satrapy, ever heard of this DR.. Towns
send. He was considered joke. His objective
so utterly ridiculous, that few gave it more than
passing thought. But propaganda is dangerous
hobby. Especially so, since it wormed into that
beastly World war, which has taught mollycoddle
age that it is the duty of the government to sup
port the people, instead of the old rule of the peo-
pie supporting the government. The result is that
almost any idiotic movement, backed by mysteri-
Gus and money propaganda, can do damage. 1t
would be difficult to conceive of a more prepos-
ferrous proceeding than that of paying everybody
over 60 years of age pension of 200 dollars q
month, but even that lunatc venture appears to be
making Roadway The newspapers tell us that a
Republican candidate for congress, whose main
plank in his rotten platform was the Townsend old
age pension plan, beat Democrat out of his boots
up in Michigan. Such tommyrot along with many
other mollycoddle ventures, makes us wonde:

people will soon perish.-Calhoun Times.
