The south's plight isn't the south's fault. That was underiined in President Roose velt's message in which he termed the south the "nation's No. 1 economic problem." The designation is undoubtedly accurate, for there., is scarcely an., economic issue— whether it be labor, or agriculture or elec tric power or tariffs or taxation—that does not become . more acute when it is applied to the south. Because of this and because the misre presentatives of the southern people in Con gress vote against the interests of the na tion and of tiheir own constituents there is a growing tendency to blame "the south" for our national economic ills. The danger is that this tendency will grow into a sectional division with the north and west holding the south responsible for the south's economic backwardness and the south defending its own burdens because they are under sectional attack. LOQKIM IT WUMMTOa (Continued from page one) aad the other as definitely conserva tive. This is, of course, nothing r|ew. Mr. Roosevelt hopes to make ths Democratic Party the vehicle of What hV> considers "liberalism" be cause he expects that the people of this country will support such a party. If he can bring about a thorough-going reform of the Dem ocratic Party, making it effectively liberal, the chances are that the party will continue the New Di»al and remain loyal to its main prip eiples. If, on the other hand, the Democratic Party conti r *ues to be ennserrative and the one libera 1 -, there is the possibility that at the end of Mr. Roosevelt's term of of fice, the political fight in this coun try will be along the line of those that preceded his election. This is aot what the President wants. He ia determined that the issues be ■eleaxly drawn and that the people of the nation have a - ' opportunity to select between the liberal aid! conservative policies. New Alignment. In fact, as one can tell what the political alignment in the Uni ted States will be in the future.

His summary of the south's position and its effect upon the nation was, above all else, friendly to the south. And why not? Is it the south that has created there the problem of a despoiled landless peasantry? Is it the south's will that those driven off the soil are easy prey for sweatshop operators that compete* un fairly with northern labor? Was it the south's desire that the south become a "pov-l erty market" that shuts off the overflow of the nation's factories? The problem of the south is no more sec tional in its causes than it is in effects. The truth is that the economic reconstruction of the south after the Civil War was never completed: The southerners., drove out the political carpetbaggers only to let the eco nomic carpetbagggers in to replace them. The southern politicians who are eager to serve northern exploiters are first to raise the cry of "outside interference" whenever a minimum-wage law, an anti-lynching bill or a national labor organization is applied to the south. The real south is half the nation's farm population that gets only one-fifth of the farm income. The real south is one-eighth of the naton's children with only one-fiftieth of the national income. The real south, both white and colored, is the part of the nation most in need of the New Deal. The real south is a defeated section whi".h has paid and paid again the most galling economic reparations since the Civil War and which is still paying them to northern ers who'are mostly found aligned against progress in the north as in the south. The fight to bring southern economy in line with the rest of the nation is nob a fight against the south. It is a fight against those who have robbed and exploited the south. Republican Party, as well as the Democratic, has its divisions, with liberals ">td conservatives. If the President can force a realignment along the lines he seeks, he counts on winning the permanent support of the Republican liberals and los ing the permanent support of the Democratic conservatives. Whether such a division will come about re trains to be seem but therte are some signs that the movement is un derway. /Consider, for example the cam paign of Representative O'Connor, of New York. This article is writ ten before the results of the pri mary on Tuesday of this week, but it is worth noting that the effort of the President to prevent the ret torn for the Republican presidential nom ination of the Chairman of the House Rules Committee brought tj the support of Mr. O'Connor, in public speeches, Senator Vanden burg, of Michigan, often mentioned i-|ition two years hence, as well as Republican representatives Fnh and Barton, of New York. "Country Above Party" For those interested in the trend, it is worth noting that the Pres>. THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALD. ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA dent, has expressed the opinion that the election of liberals is. more im portant that the election of Demo crats who are conservative. In brief the Preside-tt suggests that, for the good of the nation, the support of the liberals is more important than the support of either Republicans or Democrats. Another appeal for voters to cross party lines came from former Governor Alf M. Lan don last week, which indicates that the idea is growing. Of course, Mr Lnndon urged Democrats to vote for Republican candidates, "not as mem bers of the Republican Party, but as the only means of voicing their protest against one-ma n-pSrty i go vernment." Thus, we see both can didates for the presidency two years ago suggesting that the voter place "country above party" and cast thir ballots upon the New Deal is sue rather than upon conventional attachment to political parties.

RULES FOR DRINKING Mr. Editor.—The following rules for drinking were clipped from a weekly publication of the Anti-Ss loon League ar'd I am passing it along to your readers: Rules For Drinking If we MUST drink, ju&t because it is "the custom" and because many rich men want to become richer by selling us liquor, we will do well to follow these rules: 1. Have the dose of alcohol rec ommended by a physician. It is a drug and should be used only under scientific oversight. 2. Don't drink o:' an empty stom ach. Food in the stomach, particu larly milk, slows absorption and decreases the maximum concentra tion of alcohol in the blood. 3. Dilute the dose heavily. The old prohibition recipe prescribed two hundred times as much water as alcohol. This should be about right. 4. Don't drink when excited or nervous. If you feel like you "need"' it, let it alone. 5. Don't driri when there is mental work to do, as alcohol has a narcotic effect, although it wi'.l make us think that we have been stimulated. 6. Don't drink when suffering from a cold or threatened with pneu monia. Rock and rye have killed thousands of people. 7. Above all, don't drink when snake-bitte* . This is deadly. All doc tors warn against the ancient su perstition that whiskey is good for snakebite. 8. Don't take more than one done in twenty-four hours, as repeated doses have a cumulative effect. 9. Don't drink on a social occa sion as this tends to the forming of a habit, besides makirg us talk and act foolishly. 10. Don't drink before driving an automobile or performing any physi cal labor or engaging in athletics, as alcohol hinders physical efficien cy. 11. Don't drink until satisfied that we are in no \*ay supporting a cus torn a -, d trade injurious to our co untry and mankind. After conforming to these rules, we may take our drink with a clear conscience, but we ' should Jgo to bed until we get over it as we have no right to go about the streets en dangering others while under the influence of a narcotic. Grand Jury Urges No More Bonds Tarboro, Sept. 18.—The Edgecombe grand jury in its report to Judge Walter J. Bone recommended tnat the county issue no more bonds at the present, since it has reached the saturation point. The grand jury also recommend ed that the "insanitary condition" of the cou-'ty jail yard be correct ed and that repairs to the jail be made. The report approved leasing of more space about town for offices of county agencies. All officers were found to be in good condition. PROTECT THE CHILDREN Shortly prior to dismissal of the 1 Sail Francisco public schools for th* summer vacation Principal Niccolls of the John Swett Junior High School, which has an enrollment of 711, addressed a letter to the stud ents telling them that 11,925 chil dren of school age were killed or injured in highway accidents lasc year. He further pointed out that there are ten junior high schools in San Francisco, with a total enroll ment of 11,901, A concluding para graph cautioned the children: ''lmagine every boy aitt every gin in each junior high in San Francis es killed or .injured in a traffic ac cident—and we are still twenty-foar less than 11,925. Eleven thousand more than sixteen schools the sine nine hnndred and twe-|ty-five means of John Swett. Take this message home. Show it to your parents. Hang it up in your room where you can •ee it every morning."
