President Hoover remembered and used as an excuse the same old cut and dried lie that was paid for by the rail roads and other public utilities years ago. The false hood is so old and musty it actually stinks. The principle advanced is that the government should run every thing that doesn't jwy and turn over every thing that does pay to a bunch of merci less looters. The government has no right to turn our public domain over to grafters and extortioners.^ One of the most contemptible-faliries ever hatch ed came from the railroad* in days gone by. They said, government stand off and let us provide manipulators of public domain, looters of private citizens and dominators of government, and let us boss everything in the transportation field with one exception. You stand by with your courts, your soldiers and ammunition and force the people to pay us a profit. VVe will water the stock, keep the books, and make the schedules, but you guarantee us the profitsj The reason the American public has never received a square deal from the big interests is because the combinations have shackled legislation by their propa ganda and the influence of their dual servants who acted as attorneys for the companies and at the same time served as members on law-making bodies. The protected corporate wealth of the country now* l own practically everything, everything that is worth anything at least, and the |>eople are glacito work for a crust to stop hunger. p We bragg on our Democracy when, as a matter of truth, we are starving from unbalanced governmental regulation. . ~ Hoover's Biggest Blunder President Hoover ended two years of his term of service last Wednesday, a period that has been filled with gigantic difficulties. Hoover is, of course, de serving of much sympathy. His friends and enemies alike regard him as an honest man, but they all ad mit that he has made some gigantic blunders. He has shown himself ignorant of political administra tion. His life work has been on the line of engineer ing where facts do not vary? A sa result he is ignor ant of the problems of government, those affecting all phases of business and all kinds of people, giving rise to the necessity of giving and taking in such a way that no tyjjes of people or kinds of business will suf fer. materially. Hoover's, like Harding's, greatest mistake was made in the selection of his friends. Harding was the vic tim of thieves, while Hoover has been led by a gang of robbers who demand legal machinery with which to grind down other people. Mr. Hoover has not stood out boldly on the liquor question; his stand has been a rather transitive one. But his biggest blunder in the first two years of his' term was made this week when he vetoed the Muscle Shoals bill. •. 1 SALE OP VALUABLE FARM PROPERTY Und*r and by virtue of the au thority conferred upon us in a deed of trust executed by W.

NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION m aii/f tieet I hiv# m-v&tßrei Sober the Judges First We are not so much in sympathy with the cru sade against magistrates. Of course nobody denies that some of them are ignorant, other are mean and still others are drunkards. But just think, some of our superior court judges have exactly the same faults? Then why romp on the poor magistrate? It may lie that the appearance fee for a justice of the peace court is not as high as that of a big court that may have its influence in the legislature. Don't curse your magistrates until you sober your judges. Help Beautify Our Town Much complaint is heard from those people and especially the ladies of this town who are endeavoring to clean and beautify their yards and gardens. It has been reported that some are careless in throwing away paper and trash, while others thoughtlessly walk over front lawns and cut corners, destroying the grass. The question has never been settled whether peo ple do such things through ignorance or meanness. Every child should be taught in his early youth how common it is to carelessly destroy and mar the beauty of nature. Many local people have attempted to beautify their homes and lots; yet, there are many who hesitate to sow pass seed or add to the appear ances of their lots for fear their work will be destroy ed by th>se who thoughtlessly walk where they should not and throw paper and trash in public places. Give the fellow who is attempting to add to the beauty of our town a chance. Cause for Advice It may be a bit monotonous when everybody of fers advice to the farmer. Vet, when the farmer real izes that all other business is dependent on him in a large measure, ne will then understand why others want him to succeed. No doctor, lawyer, merchant, mechanic, miller or newspaper man wants to see any farmer lose money on any venture. Everyone knows that when the farmer makes a fair profit on his oper ations, it accelerates every other type of business. That is why everybody is advising the farmer not to produce a surplus of money crops and glut the mar kets and force the prices below the cost of produc tion. . -v.-.-. . • Up until now nobody can figure anyother way to get a fair price for tobacco this season except by raising a small crop. And yet in the face of that, there are many farmers who are trying to dodge the plain' issue, apparently hoping that everybody else is going to reduce and put the market price up and that they can make a "killing" by having a big crop. It is generally admitted that the only thing to inspire the farmer to plant a big crop of tobacco is vain hope. "Worse Than War" a "Worse than War" is the title of a pamphlet re cently issued by the Travelers Insurance Company, of Hartford, The leaflet shows that during the eighteen months ending December 31, 1930, therj: were 390 more people killed by automobiles in American than we lost in the eighteen months of the world war, in cluding those who were instantly killed or died from wounds received in battle. What we need to do, one would gather from the comparison, is to train men and women how to drive cars and teach people how to keep out of the way of cars. Every person going near a place where a car can run needs to be taught to look and listen that he might escape any danger. This training should be commenced the day the baby learns to walk and should be continued as long as the individual lives. This instruction is. very necessary because nearly 47 per cent of all auto accident deaths was caused by collision with |>edestrians. If people will look both ways when they cross a street, carry a light when they ride bicycles or drive vehicles, hold to the le't side of the road when they walk more than half the accidents will be avoided. The car driver should be thoroughly trained. He should l>e taught that the road is not his own proper ty tTi be hogged by him. If he violates any of the traffic rules and thereby causes the death of any one he should be held as a murderer. No man who drinks liquor to much extent should be permitted to drive a car. People who are easily excited or careless should not be |>ermitted to drive a car. EVery driver should be held strictly accountable for his misconduct in operating a car.
