An Occasion That Should Be Honored
So far, very little is being said or dune by our Mar
tin County folks about celebrating the two hundredth
anniversary of the birth of (Jeorge Washington.
We owe it to ourselves to honor the occasion by
(laying our respects to the hero of our independence,
and it is an excellent time to impress the value of
truth and honor 4n life.
An Awkward Position
It is an awkward [x>sition that our country seems
to occupy at this time, relative to the trouble in the
Orient. We acted so selfishly when President Wilson
tried to form the League of Nations, and since, whpn
other presidents have tried to participation in the
world court of arbitration, that now when something
is really needed at our hand, we are ashamed to ap-
pear in decent company.
We have apparently disqualified ourselves as either
judge or jury in the case, and stand by and see Japan
steal the heart of China. Or is it because we think
more of a little trade than we do of humanity?
The Eradication of Tammany
If New York City eliminates Tammany as a result
of the recent investigation made by the Seabury com
mittee, it will be one of the greatest victories aihieved
so far during the twentieth century perhaps next to
the World War. Because it will he lp to break up one
of the greatest graft machines known to modern civ
ilization.
Pulling Together
This is one time the two major political parties in
the I'nited States are standing shoulder to shoulder.
While they generally lik to disagree, they are all fac
ing the big problem of trying to form some relief plan,
and they all know the fellow that dar«s stand in the
way of this movement will meet his Waterloo at the
polls next November. That is, of course, the honest
and proper thing to do.
Partisanship has obstructed justice too long already,
and it would be criminal to let a |>artisan fight destroy
all hope for reliet.
Now is the time for us all to fight together, rather
than to fight each other.

Where the Wonder Is
The papers say a Florida woman has been follow
ing up John D. Rockefeller, the American billionaire,
also that two women are following up Bim Gump,
the Australian billionaire. We can see nothing so
strange about either of these cases, when there are
millions of women seeking men who are not worth
even a thousand dollars, and there are cases on rec
ord where women have actually married men without
a dollar. The wonder is that there are not more than
one fishing for Rockefeller and more than two after
Uncle Bim.
Of More Importance To Us
The war in the Far East is a matter of grave im
portance to us. But the matter that we need to give
most attention to is preparing to take care of our
selves. It is an awfully sad thing to see a farmer
come to town in the early part of the year to try to
get somebody Jo furnish him meat and bread to eat
so he can make some more S-cent tobacco, 6-cent cot-
ton, and 1 1-2-cent peanuts.
We have lived a long time on our pride, but now
we may as well lay it aside, acknowledge we are poor
and go to work for ourselves. Things will get right
quickly if we will only do this.
No people can ever do well by selling all they pro
duce and buying all they consume, and let some other
fellow make both prices. It naturally looks like we
would have more sense, without having to be starved
Agriculture Gets It in the Neck
When the cry for economy in government was first
made, those who best know the complexion of politics
knew that the agricultural interests would be the
ones that would get it in the neck.
The action of the Congress in cutting the Agricul
ture Department appropriation almost to death has
proven the prediction to be true, and the same thing
applies to our own State. The biggest cut of all came
at the places where the interests of the farmers rest.
It is a shame that our State is paying more to pro
ect hunting and fishing than it is to promote growing
food and clothing products. And then when times
get "tighter," they give the farmers another blow.
What this country needs is to have a closer co
operation between country and city— which can't be
had unless both sides get fair play.
Too Much of the Non-Essentials
Lots of time is being spent in figuring out when
the depression will be over. That is foolishness. We
can't get out of this depression by guessing or specu
ling. It will take a long time and a lot of hard work
and economy on every hand.
Our previous hard times or panics were all differ
ent from this, and can hardly be used as a basis for
guessing when this one will j>ass. Agriculture got
its death blow in 1920, and the gamblers went to their
Waterloo in 1929.
We have in (he past spent—and stiJl are spending—
our money for the non-essentials. No one has made
a profit for years except those who have produced the
things man does not absolutely need, and in most
cases which are detrimental. Coca-Cola kings, to
bacco magnates, moving picture trusts, and a few like
concerns have literally coined money in their busi
nesses, while the manufacturers of clothing, foodstuff,
and other things necessary to keep soul and body to
gether have not prospered.
Just as long as people spend money on worthless
pleasures, they will have hard times. It will take the
combined efforts of two generations to get us to "good
times, and we will be paying interest and pensions on
the World War for 60 more years, which, of itself,
will keep us poor.
