To be an American ;rican is to express an act of faith. Raoul de Roussy de saies. W' The Mica Boom r,- iL-uA f TW1 n. Brvsori, Tr., for the ;. .- rm the- front Dage about the mica situation in the county, brough J about by the stimulus of war neecis ana uk 6 -foreign sources. The old adage that It is an ill wind that- blows nobody any good' s again prov en to be true in respect to the necessity for develop ing the latent resources of the rich mica vein which runs through North Carolina, beginning in Mitch ell, Yancey and Avery, and running in a south easterly direction through Haywood, Jackson and Macon. , , For too long the mica miners have been operat ing in a wasteful and haphazard way, due in part to lack of capital for machinery and equipment. Now that the Colonial corporation has been formed under the direction of the government, there is opportunity for this county to benetit from the mica boom brought about by the war and to continue the industry on a stabilized basis after the war. If owners and operators have the vision and spirit of cooperation necessary for any large scale development, they will start a new day for the countv in developing raw material possibilities. Much of the pioneer promotional work that has helped the present development has been due to the moving spirit behind the publication of the South East Miner at Asheville, Isaac Van Horn, who has given his services as editor, and has had faith that the great undeveloped mineral resources of Western North Carolina would some day come into their own. His faith and work in regard to mica is now being rewarded. When he started the publication seven years ago, he states that he was advised there was no field for a "mining publica tion" in this section because it was not a "mining country." In an editorial on The Mica Situation in the July issue of the publication, Mr. Van Norn closes with these paragraphs: "It has always been claimed by this publication that the varied mineral resources were here in abundance, to furnish the raw materials for a great mining and processing and manufacturing industry, but venturesome capital, so called, has never been available in large qpantity because of lack of min-ing-mihdedness by the local people, this is very unfortunate. "But suddenly we find because of the war that as a nation we have been depending on imports lor too many minerals and because of this, the Government itself is moving in. "The move has now been made on Mica and other products, might this publication and those of like mind, be also right about the building of a great Magnesium industry?" The Farmers Speak Up PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has had a letter recently from the heads of the nation's three largest farm organizations pointing out that Amer ica faces grave danger of a shortage of food and fiber by next year unless ceilings on farm products are adjusted to take care of rising production costs. The letter was signed jointly by President Ed ward A. O'Neal of the American Farm Bureau Fed eration, Master A. S. Goss of the National Grange and President H. E. Babcock of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives. These three organ izations have a combined "membership of more than 3,000,000. The letter follows: "We, the heads of the undersigned farm organ izations, whose members produce most of the food and fiber raised in this country, feel it is our duty to inform you that there is grave danger of a shortage of food and fiber next year, unless the ceilings of farm prices are so adjusted as to en able farmers to meet essential production costs. The establishment of any ceiling on farm products which omits farm labor as an item of cost will fail of its purpose. The responsibility for the future food and fiber supply of the nation must rest squarely on the shoulders of those who deny con sumers of food and fiber this protection.

JW M ONCER PORTAH.E "It is our duty to point out to you that the best protection against inflation is abundant produc tion. Already the production of food and fiber in this country has passed its peak. Unless farmers can pay adequate farm wages, production of these essentials will continue to decline. The demand on farm labor by the military services, and the attrac tive wages and shorter hours of labor which are already prevailing in industry, are resulting in farm laborers, farm" boys and girls, and even farm operators leaving our farms in ever increasing numbers." Press Comment KEEP IT OUT! (The Asheville Citizeni) Our Raleigh correspondent re ports that "the Secretary of State has received several inquiries about procelure for obtaining a state charter for a Ku Klux Klan. Source of the inquiries is a sec ret, military, ethical or otherwise." Commenting on this disquieting report, The Greensboro Daily News demands in effect that the Secre tary of State should refuse to grant any such charter. Whether Mr. Eure has the legal power to deny a charter is far from certain. After all, the granting of charters is a perfunctory matter with little choice left to the Secretary of he State if all the forms of the law are observed. But the State Constitution places the proper estimate on such organ izations as the Ku Klux Klan when it declares: "Secret political societies are dangerous to the lib erties of a free people and should not be tolerated." Legal considerations aside, the Ku Klux Klan is a mischievous organization which shoull not be revived in North Carolina. When it flourished in this state some twenty years ago, it brought only strife and confusion. The only per sons to profit by its activities were the organizers and the hucksters of night shirts. It died then because the members became ashamed of their connections with such a shab by organization. The Citizen hopes that every community in this state will be on its guard against the resurrection of the Klan. An alert and out spoken public opinion, can do more than all of the laws to prevent this bigoted organization from regain ing a foothold.
