One Year................... $6.00 Six Months.................. $4.00 The News Is Better W. A. Leavell, in a column appearing in the Grifton (North Carolina) Times says that since there didn’t seem to be much good news for the 1970s, he would go back in time to find some good news to report. And so back he went, to the 1870s; and this is what he found to report for the news of the day On the crime front, "the 1870’s have a law and order pro blem. No fooling. The crime rate is about twice what it is today. People are going around shooting each other and the Indians are also on the rampage. In the cities traffic clogs the streets by day and you can hardly get around for the horses and wagons. The toughs and crooks take over the streets at night and it is not safe to go out. "In New York City the Irish are rioting and demanding their rights. In Savannah the blacks are marching in the streets and in San Francisco the Chinese are giving the establishment a hard time. "The taxpayers of New York found out that Boss Tweed has taken them for millions. Confidence in our political leaders is at an all-time low. “Inside plumbing and sanitation are almost unknown and public health is nil. Pneumonia and tuberculosis strike down many, and scarlet fever and diptheria combine with malaria and typhoid to make long life a slim gamble. No-good young people are racing around on fast bicycles scaring the day lights out of horses and older people. They are also taking to hard drink and many think the young generation will be the ruination of the country. The drug culture is serious. Poppies grow in Florida, New Mexico, Texas, Vermont and New Hamp shire and can’t supply enough opium for the market so we import sizeable tonnage from China, England and Germany (it wasn't until 1881 that the import of opium from China was prohi bited.)” Sums up Mr. Leavell: "As far as I can see, things haV' not gone that far down hill since the 1870’s. . .except for one thing. In 1872 the total federal budget was $278 million and we are trying to get our present down to only $250 billion. How is that for good news??' U.S. Press Association ••••••••••••••••• letters ibi tar Editor, The Journal: 1 am a registered voter wri ting in regard to the editorial entitled "Oh Lord, How Long?” which appeared in the August 2, 1973 edition of the Gate City Journal. Being the “idealistic youth" I am, 1 try to look at both sides of the gate, though I admit 1 have never had a strong ad miration for Mr. Nixon. Your past editorials seem to go along with the general opinion of the people in the area, which is very safe for a small town newspaper. I sincerely hope this does not hold true with the feelings expressed that the American people "are getting fed up with the Senate Water gate investigations.” "Almost everyone we talked to revealed an increasing anger,” (Just how many people did you talk to Mr. Nedry?),'‘not so much as the investigation itself, but what is seen as a blatant, glaring "double-standard” on the part of the investigators.” May I ask what "double-standards?” If you are talking about the Ells- berg case, he should have been punished, but the Honorable Judge Byrne had to dismiss the charges on grounds of go vernment interference (Nixon offered Byrne the attorney ge neral seat, BRIBE!) Also Nixon had his plumbers (the private police force to do his dirty work because the CIA and the FBI wouldn’t any more,) break into the man’s psychiatrist. Burglary in this country is a FELONY! Are the laws of this land applied only to the people and not its lea ders? Is It true what Mr. Gold water said? That the American people really don't care about the morals of their leaders, just so they lead? As for your feeble attempt to discredit Senator Ervin, I believe Nixon's henchmen have already tried to dig up "dirt” in North Carolina with no suc cess because the Republicans like the man. If the Senator was "out to get Nixon” as was stated, he would have al- lowed Senator Inouye to con- tinue questioning Hal deman about the 1962 California In- cident where Nixon, Haldeman, and Ehrlichman were convicted of unfair campaigne practices. This conviction after the 1962 Gubernatorial Election in Cali fornia is only one of the things that have tainted the president’s political career. The most ironic part is the following? "What of the other side of the coin? Remember when anti-war demonstrators broke into draft board offices and public buildings, poured blood on files,” etc. etc. etc.. True such action will never be justified no matter what the casue, but why where is the irony? Unfortunately Nixon’s people, John Dean and H.R. Hal deman hired activists to cause disruptions and riots against Nixon and the Rev. Billy Graham in an effort to discredit the op position. This was all brought out by both Dean and Halde man in two memoranda submit ted to the committee. Apparently the only recent reading the Journal editor has done are the politically biased releases from the Republican National Committee or is it still the Committee to Re-elect the President, aptly known as CREEP). I would like to sug gest the editor read ”1984” by Orwell to obtain a horrify ing glimpse of what the tac tics of some of his party (and possibly to some extent the op position politician, or should ! say "enemy.”) have in store for EVERY citizen in this coun try. —A concerned citizen, Dennis M. Urry L^OBITUARIET^S LETTER T O EDITOR Editor, The Journal We are one of the tailgaters at your Thunderegg Days.
