BIBi * THOUGHT
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he
that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. 2. Also, that the
soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth
with his feet sinneth.—Proverbs 19:1-2.
TWAS EVER THUS!
•^cJn\c vears ago Max Gardner spoke in the First Baptist
Church in Charlotte, along with Frank Graham at a Social Service
Conference, and with much feeling he stressed his love and
bleeding heart for the underprivileged. Doubtless he was sincere.
I hen he was doing “business” in the Old North State, but he
change] his business address to Washington, D. C., and became a
lobbyist for the Textile interests, after he had wept on the shoul
der of his textile employes at Shelby, telling them of his love for
his fellowman. Now the headlines of the daily press inform the
public of the fact that our ex-governor has received $75,000 from
* he Air Industry for lobbying service, (which he claims w’as a few
thousand less). Things are sure going good for the Shelby “line
up,” and while the Hon. Clyde Huey made a statement in his
opening political address in Charlotte, that nobody could blame
him for being a brother-in-law to Max Gardner, still it is a well!
known fact that in the days of the “(floset” political nominations
Shedly ruled the roost. But that day i§ passing and the people are
thinking more for themselves than they are letting the “big-wigs”
think for them. T
I lie editor <>i tlie Journal was horn a Democrat, passed through
the Red Shirt regime and is still for Roosevelt and all he stands
for—but not a Liberty League Democrat which would destroy the
rights and subordinate the worker to the infinitesimal. The Brown
Derby suffered defeat and now in a spirit of animosity he would
assail and attack the man who brought (this country out of a state
of chaos. U
Big Business was crying for relief—they were willing to ac
cept any dose of medicine that would raise them from a bed of
financial sickness that they themselves had brought on. Roose
velt gave it to them. He came to their rescue by closing the banks
for two weeks. Then the weaker ones went to the wall and the
workers lost. But banking was stabilized and made safe.
It is all a laugh; it is all political. Capital wants prestige, and ,
should have it, but there is the man ttyat makes Capital possible, '
and that is the producer. The swivel chair at $75,000 or $100,000,
does not produce. He may have the brains, and he may not, but it
is the man at the machine, at the throttle, at the loom, at the job.

FINDS RELito. oR 15 YEARS SUFFERING
To Asthma Sufferers
I suffered with broncmai asthma for 15 years. Every few weeks I
was down in bed with an attack. The least exposure to cold or in
damp weather would brine n these awful spells of asthma. Sometimes
it seemed that I would lose my breath in spite of all that could be done
for me. About 3 years ago I was stricken down with a severe attack.
I called in Dr. Hollingsworth, Chiropractor. When he came I could
hardly get my breath. He gave me a spinal treatment which gave me
relief right away. He continued treating me at my home for a few
days until I was able to go to his office for treatment He cured me
of asthma as I haven’t had the slightest touch of asthma since taking
his treatment He also cured me of awful headaches.
