NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
EVILS OF REPEAL

Judge F. Y Webb in his charge to the grand
Jury in federal court in Shelby Monday cited
Greenville county, S. c., an example of the
evils of repeal of the prohibition amendment. He
stated There are SO liquor stores and an eSti-
mated 1000 bootleg dispensaries in that county.
In that county last year there were lO2 violent
deaths while 70 per cent of these were attributed
to liquor
We had occasion to be in Grcenvle recently
and were told by several that women were drink
ing in mat section in ever increasing numbers
This is another evil of repeal.
In Spartanburg S c., from Saturday noon to
midnight Sunday, &C charges were issued by Off
GERS Half of these were for drunkenness while
many of the other charges were due directly to
strong drink Mind you this is in section where
they have the sO-called legal liquor stores where
there is supposed to be no Bookkeeping and DRINKS
In Wilson county y. c., one Of the first to eS-
tabsh liquor stores in this state, Al warrants were
sworn out Saturday for bootlcggers. Repeal was
supposed to stop this
total of lOl people were killed in this state
on our highways in August. That was over three
per day.
There are more people in Jail, prison camps and
the state prisons today than ever before in the
history of this country. We have more liquor than
ever before IN our country. Inc more liquor we
have the more wrecks and crime will have The
easier we make it to get liquor, the more liquor,
crime. wrecks and deaths we will have
The highway safety campaigns are good. We
are for them but wrecks will never cease until we
drive strong drink from our country. The Ameri-
can people are going to wake up soon and realize
that the only way to eradicate the demon of strong
drink is to get rid of it. What we need Is strict
law enforcement and drive liquor out Of our coun-

SAYS WE ARE HEADING TOWARD
DICTATORSHIP

General Hugh Johnson who served as the RooSe-
welt appointee during the early days of the NRA
thinks that the United States is headed SquareIy
towards a dictatorship Speaking before the Ma
tonal Hardwood association at Chicago some days
ago, General Johnson said:
Under the seduction of ballyhoo, bribery and
charm we are moving away from the democracy
imagined by the constitution and straight toward
as rigid a dictatorship as there is on earth
"The executive seeks the power to influence the
decisions of the Supreme court by appointing to 1t
majority of puppets-hillbiy Ku Klux wool hats
from the forks of the creek, like Senator Black.
Through lump sum appropriations by billions
of money to be spent in his unlimited discretion,
and through the power now sought to shift appro-
priated money from one purpose to another, the
executive seeks to take from congress this power
of the purse.
THAT is the worst threat of all. This is the
power to buy up votes of whole classes of popula-
ton 1t is the power of political perpetuatlon OF
any administration and to make the American eX-
ecutive the most powerful one-man government on
the face of the earth"
This publication is not sanctioning everything
the General had to say, but do say he is very
able man. and knows his politics, is Democrat ana
former supporter of the President, and taking these
things into consideration the American people can
hardly afford to pass up such words of warning rs
mere ballyhoo.-Mocksyile Enterprise.

WASHINGTON. The current
w widespread practice of waging
war without declaring war IS
actually Just an old-faShioned
custom. The United States IS still
technically engaged in one such
war, insofar as any treaty OF peace
or formal ending is concerned.
III Jtiy, 1916, U. S. troops IN
yaded what was then the Spanish
territory of Florida and blew up
an old fort. killing 30 Indians
and Negroes with what would APP
pear to have been as effective
ferocity as lately has been dem
onstrated in China and Spain.
Later the Seminole Indians
managed to massacre a band oil
about 40 white men and women
and you had the First Seminole
War, with Andrew Jackson and
his troops burning and killing
through the Seminole country UNI
til treaty was signed in 1913.
The Second Seminole War, ac-
cording to records here, was
caused by refusal of the Indians
to give up land guaranteed them
by the treaty. 1t blazed up IN
1885 and in six years 1900 U. b
soldiers were killed and S2O,OOO,-
900 spen. to annihilate SeminoleS'
The army hunted the Indians
with bloodhounds and violated
flags of truce. OSceola died IN
prison and most tribal leaders
were dragged out of the swampS,
but there were always enough
tribesmen left to resist and about
600 SeminoleS are on a reSerVa-
ton in the Everglades there TO-
day. Some of the survivors, IT'S
believed at the Indian Bureau
here, never saw a white man. Nc
treaty of peace was ever signed

al the swamns IN the Ssninn'as

UNTIL SOMETHING SNAPS

That might happen at any time, if this crazy
spending isn't stopped and the budget balanced 1t
will happen at any moment when enough people
believe that it may happen. Social securty-all
seeurity-hangs by the fraying thread Of conf
dence by those who have any money or insurance
in the value of what they have. This colossal debt
is a menace to the whole economic system of the
United States.
Big debt has weakened us for war, for depres-
sion and for day-to-day security. Why should Bill
Spivins and Joe Zch care? Because if that isn't
stopped the collapse it will cause will make March,
1888, with its 10000, 900 jobess, look like pros
perity parade. Bill and Joe will hold the SACK

FEAR OF WAR BEHIND DICTATORS
MEETING
(By BRUCE CATION


(By BRUCE CATION
Il was a great show that the Germans
put on for Benito Mussolmi. No nation in
Europe understands the value of the spec
tarular better than do the Germans; that
one little touch Of floodlighting all the
buildings ON Inter den Linden just as the
two dictators appeared was Il masterpiece.
But there was grim and menacing un-
Gertone TO the great celebration. Hitler
showed MuSSOlni those aspects OF German
civilization which were best calculated to
interest and impress the visitor-the great
munitions works at Essen, the new Ger
man army. the trim warShips, the bombing
squadronS, and so on.
For the international friendship signal
lied by this meeting of statesmen is a
friendship that rests on the fear of war.
The get-together was no mere sentimental
gesture; it was q gesture that brought
mailed fists into a handShake.
And no American can read of 1t, and
think about the significance of it, without
reflecting on the providential good for
tune which is his as an American.
Living between two great oceans, we es-
cape the amending pressure which forces
Germans and Italians to turn their nations
into armed camps We do not need to bid
for other nations friendship by showing
how tough we could be in case of fight.
The money and energy which go to build
up war machine can be diverted to
peaceful production.
You can dramatic the contrast best by
imagining that some foreign statesman
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain OF
England, for inStance-had come to Amer
lea and was being shown the sights by
President Roosevelt
What would the President show the
prime minister? Would he not take HIM
to those spots where Americas great pro-
ductive machinery is in high gear, so that
the visitor might see how nation enjoys
the blessings of peace?
There would be visit to the Detroit
auto factories, no doubt, and to the Ma
honing Valley steel belt; look at the Ten
nessee Valley, with its great experiment in
planned living; a glimpse at the western
wheat belt, where ripping grain rolls to
the horizon like a wind-tOuched sea- a
visit to Chicago with its infinite network
of busy railroads. and another to New
York, where the innumerable threads OF
American life are all gathered together.
Vastly different, that, than round of
munitions factories and military camps.
And the difference is symptomatic of the
difference between those nations that are
cursed by the fear of war and those that
are not.
Because we do not have that fear, we
can devote our energies to building for the
future-to the production of things that
men need. things that lay the foundation
for a richer and happier life. The differ
ence between what Hitler showed MusSo-
lini and what Roosevelt would show Cham
berlain is the measure of our tremendous
good fortune.

Editor, The TimcS-NcwS:
I'm his general roundup of Pro-
tcstant church and members Of
the senate and Of small town ed
itorS and Of that loyal Democrat,
Senator Bailey Of North Carolina,
Mr.. W. c. Robinson undertakes to
hog tie" and brand them, after
which he turns his attention to
the writer, and demands of him
"to show in black and white, what
authority is given to the Supreme
Court to nullify an act Of con-
grcSS."
If Mr.. Robinson will read the
constitution, he will learn that our
government is one Of law and
court procedure; that these laws
arc codiiicd in the constitution of
the United States and can be re-
pcalcd or amended only by sub
mittiny such change to the pco-
pie i'm convention or by the. APP
proval Of thrcc-quartcrS Of the
states.
TO further protect these laws,
no member of any law-making
body can take Office until he shall
have taken an oath to protect and
support these laws. The president
and every judge in every court
must take the same oath.
BY these safeguards the laws OF
oar constitution are superior to
any legislative act which may be
in violation thereof.
This. Mr.. Robinson, is in black
and white in the constitution.
The constitution also provides
that the courts shall have the
power to interpret and decide all
questions of law. when and only
when appealed to, and they are
bound under oath to apply the
acid test of conStitutionality to all
questions of law, and their dcci-
sion will approve or nullify any
legislative act. This, Mr., Robin
son. is also in black and white.
Mr.. Robinson sncerS at the IN
tclligence of the writer, yet he
admits that he has AN unrcaSon-
able faith in Mr.. Roosevelt.
May ask him if he can dis
cover any degree Of intelligence
in an unreasonable faith?
