DOUGHTON SPEAKS.
In the opinion of Congressman R.
L. Doughtoii the greatest question be
fore the American public today is ag
riculture. Something must be done,
Congressman Doughton declares, to
relieve the farmers and in a very able
ami enthusiastic manner the repre
sentative from this district has put
the matter before Congress.
The Republicans have talked farm
relief; they have promised all sorts of
things, but they have really done
nothing. Various measures are be
fore Congress now, each labeled
"Farm Relief Measure” but as a mat
ter of fact they contain nothing con
structive. They are the Republican
bid for the farm vote.
Instead of trying to enact some
law that will be really beneficial, the
Republicans are trying to get by
with something that will pacify the
agricultural interests in the belief the
farm people can’t tell the difference.
Mr. Doughton contrasted the Wil
son administration policy before the
end of the World War, which gave
greatest prosperity to farmers in their
Jrstory. and then said:
l|k. “Agriculture, which is conceded by
every one to be the most fundamental,
basic and necessary industry, has nev
er been so thoroughly demoralized and
so completely paralyzed. The protect
ive tariff law now on the statute
books, placed there by the Republican
party and guaranteed to produce agri
cultural prosperity, has signally and
completely failed.
“In the last five years the farms of
America have declined in value at
least thirty billion dollars. The in
debtedness of the farmer today is more
than twelve billion- dollars, increase
of about eight billions in tlie last five
years, making the farmers of America
nt least thirty-eight billion dollars
poorer than they were on the 4th of
March, 1921, when Mr. Hhrding was
inaugurated President.
“ Farm failures during the last five
years have increased 1,000 per cent,
in contrast with commercial failures.
Tlie direct losses on the crops produc
ed have been many billions more. A
larger number of American farms and
homes are under mortgage today than
ever before in the history of the coun
try. More bank failures have occur
red in agricultural sections of the
country in the last five years than had
occurred in twenty-five years preced
ing that date.”
Mr. Doughton has given Congress
the facts and that body should be
held in session until something con
structive and beneficial is done.
CO-OPERATION NEEDED.
The faculty of a high school in
Mississippi, renlizing that many of its
students will not pass tlie required
work unless they devote more of their
time to their studies. Ims sent n warn
ing to the parents of the students. The
warning stated that fully 25 per cent,
of the juniors and 15 per cent, of the
seniors, will not pass their work, and
the teachers wanted it understood
that in their opinion at least, the par-,
ents are to blame.
The warning said tiie parents have [
been eagerly interested in social,
especially on Mondays, "children ex- j
climbing ami "have sent to the scliools, |
Imusted by a too strenuous week-end." j
To which The Fayetteville Obser-,
ver makes this very pertinent reply: i
"It is a situation recognizable in
many communities.
"Sometimes, however, the. com
plaint is made tlie other way around.
Parents say that the schools impose
too much home work and too many
outside activities on the pupils, so
that they have no time for proper sleep
nnd genuine recreation.
“Then, again, there are the spoiled,
ultra-modern children who run their
own social affairs rather high-hand
edly with many stormy scenes at home
and much futile wringing of parental
hands.
“In tlie final analysis, perhaps, all
three situations are up to the par
ents. Co-operation with each other
and with the school officials would go
far to restore order and health as well
as passing grades. Many a bewilder
ed father and mother, pioneering in
the field of more suitable social life
for their young ones, will find that
there are other bewildered parents
eager to establish a better regime and
saner ideals for the whole commun
ity.”
FIGURES INDICATE *
KLAN IS ON TOBOGGAN
Fifteen Thousand Membership of
Last Fall Drops to 2.815 By Last
Report.
Asheville. May 15^—Crumbling un
der the assault of the outlawed
mountain Klnnsmen. the Invisible
Empire of the Kti Kiux Klan in
North Carolina which boasted 15,-
000 members last fall now has only
2.815 of that number in good stand
ing, it was learned tonight.
Tli is number :s shown by the of
ficial audit sent out from tne office
of Judge Henry A. Grady, Grand
Dragon of The Realm of North
Carolina. It is upon this nudit that
tlie mountain Klansmen and others
who have rallied to their aid in the
effort to straighten out the alleged
irregularities in the affairs of the
realm, are depending to substantiate
the Charges of mismanagement that
they brought against. Judge Grady
ami C. C. Mellwain. Grand Klaliff.
The audit, which hem's the signa
ture of Mellwain as chief of staff,
purports to cover he financial affairs
of the Invisible Empire in North
Carolina for the first quarter of the
present year.
A striking indication of the dis
integration which has paralyzed the
Klan in this State is seen in the
figures showing the receipts of the
present year. These figures have been
dropping steadily for several months
and the next audit is expected to
show an even larger decrease in reve
nue indicating corresponding loss of
members in good standing as other
Klans flock to the support of the
mountain insurgents.
The Lower Cabarrus Road.
Charlotte Observer.
The Concord Tribune has read in
to The Ob-server'x recent reference
to the Cabarrus sand clay stretch in
the A1 bemarle-Chariotte link in the
Raleigh highway a spirit that was
not meant. The Observer had been
giving, "in the lighter vein,” Stanly
talk as to the developed situation,
and it was not The Observer's opin
ion.” or did The Observer remotely
indicate that The Tribune was writ
ing in complaint against Stanly. We
copied what the Concord paper had
to say of an admitted situation,
along with its suggestion that the
highway between the Cabarrus line
and Albemarle be treated with tar,
or in some manner to lay the dust.
The Tribune, however, insists that
the aeross-Cabarrus road “was not
built at the suggestion of Cabarrus
people,” which is a fact, for it ap
pears that it was the determination
of Albemarle to secure direct con
nection with Charlotte, Concord and
Salisbury in particular, and with as
many other towns as possible. Stan
ly and Mecklenburg wanted direct
connection and they hard-surfaced
their respective sections. But The
Tribune insists on knowing why
Commissioner Wilkinson does not
pave the Cabarrus strip? It is be
cause he has no money. He has “no
kick,” as he expresses it, against
Cabarrus, for, he says '‘Cabarrus has
done fine," and so it has, for it
raised $300,000 with which its part
of the highway from Concord to
Albemarle has been hard-surfaced,
but the State has no funds with
which to treat the eight miles be
tween Mecklenburg and Stanly simi
larly.
It is a fair promise that when the
next legislature meets the money
for application to this particular
strip will be provided. At the same
time, Stanly will be helped to money
for hard-topping Its highway from
Albemarle to the Cabarrus line—and
then all of us can fie satisfied and
happy. Meantime, The Stanly News-
Herald, adverting to the condition
remarked upon by fthe Tribune, un
derstands that arrangements have
been made to oil the Stanly section
of the Cabarrus road,and hears that
work has been already started along
that line.
I Sheep m “Plant Scavangers.”
I The sheep has been termed the
[“plant scavenger” of the farm. In
| fact there are only a few weeks which
' it will not eat during the early Rtage
|of its growth; and yet it must be
remembered that the cured grasses
must be of choice quality to secure
the best results in feeding operations.
Less permanent pasture is required
for the fdieep during the Reason than
for any other farm animat. Stubble
fields furnish a choice pasture. ; i

UNIFICATION PROPOSAL
GOES OVER FOUR YEARS
Churchmen Unable to Work Out
Constitution and it Also Goes Over.
Memphis, May 15.—Unification,
principal bone of contention in the
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
during the past ♦hree years and a
mooted question at the 20th annual
convention in session here, found
smooth sailing when a special com
mittee reiiorted to the church re
lations committee with its recom
mendations late today.
A committee of research and in
vestigation to make a careful and
scientific study of tlie whole ques
tion in its history, economic, social,
legal and other aspects during the
next four years was recommended
;ind the church relations committee
in a harmonious meeting accepted
the recommendation (and proceeded
toappoint the committee.
This commute or investigation
will not have the power to open
negotiations with any other branch
of the church and will report back
to the general conference four years
hence.
Tlie Baptist Convention.
Charity and Children.
The Southern Baptist convention is
now in session in Houston. Texas.
The meeting place J.ij.jio far. ORAL. ,
from the center of the territory that
delegates from North Carolina and
Virginia have been heavily taxed to
raise the necessary expenses for the
trip. The attendance, however, will
be large for Texas itself can furnish
crowd enough to fill an ordinary hall.
The personnel of the convention will
not be representative of tlie people
on the east side of the river. There
is a distinct line of cleavage between
the eastern and western sections of
the Southern Baptist convention. We
do not think alike and there can never
be harmonious agreement between the
two sections. Tlie west is wild, im
pulsive and sometimes reckless. The
western brethren are energetic and
progressive. They are plungers. The
eastern brethren are conservative and
cautious. They look before they leap.
They give as much money to King
dom interests asthe westerners. per
haps more, and they are better bal
anced givers. Virginia, for instance,
is not the richest state in the conven
tion, but it gives more money to for
eign missions than Texas with its
wide domain. And the eastern sec
tion is better balanced as to its doc
trinal views than the west. All our
doctrinal troubles come from the west.
The danger in this convention is that
the west will force the convention to
make a creedal statement and pro
voke a bitter argument that will side
track the mission work of the body,
as was done in Memphis last year.
There is never any danger of a con
vention going wild on minor issues
when it meets in Richmond or Atlan
ta. or Asheville. There is always
this danger when it meets on the west
side of the Mississippi River. The /
convention ought to divide. It is too
big anyhow, and besides, the two sec
tions are so radically different in their
thinking that harmony and unity are
out of the question. There are plen
ty of Baptists in the territory for two
great conventions and with no official
connection they would labor side by
side in harmony and brotherly love.
But yoked together as they are there
will always be friction which, unless
it is cheeked, may lead to hostility.
We of this part of our convention
have more in common with Pennsyl
vania than we have with states like
Oklahoma.
Forbid Bringing of Wine Here From
Palestine.
Numerous applications for impor
tation of Kosher wine from Palestine
were denied by Aassistant Secretary
Andrews, in charge of prohibition en
forcement.
The Associated Press dispatch says:
“He held that the wine supply in this
country is sufficient in quantity and
quality for sacramental use.”
The applications were received
principally from members of the Or
thodox Jewish churches, who sought
the Palestine wine for use in con
nection with the feast of the Pass
over, which starts soon. They plead
ed that this wine was more sacred.
