The other nations of the world certainly must be afraid of some hidden trouble to stand by and permit such depredation. , _ Japan evidently planned trie war for the pur|R>se of pilfering China, which will enable her to increase her fighting ability very much; and if the warry Japs are permitted ti> go on unchecked, the time is not far distant when all the yellow race will be under the Japanese flag—and then for the contest between the races. ; Every nation should withdraw frojji dealing with Japan in any manner until she agrees to deal with all people honestly. __ Much-Needed But Hard Lessons Nineteen hundred and thirty-one now fades into the dimness of memory. All of its experiences, both good and bad, are now history Most of the incidnts are evidently unpleasant, and doubtless we would like to erase them from our memories and wipe them from the pages of history. This process removes our congressional represen tatives a long way from the people. In fact, so far that it is hard for the people to, get real representa tion, but rather have to submit to to promote certain political interests. Vet the things we have done are doubtless more in line with reason and good sense and more in accord and acceptable with the will of God tlutn any year during the past fifteen. W have only come face to face with the everlast ing truth th.it the things we sow are the things we shall also reap. Therefore, we have been swept by the whirlwind of.our wild, thoughtless,.wanton, waste ful extravagance that we have sown in our political, business, and social activities during and since the war perod. We are now simply at the lowest swing of the pen dulum. a people, have no one to blame more than ourselves. We took an overdose of prosperity and we discarded all other values except cash. Now, we may hate the year 1931, but we should. SAVE MONEY BY PAYING YOUR TAXES DURING THIS MONTH All County Taxes are now past due, and unless paid during January, will be subject to penalty. There is nothing to be gained by putting off the payment of these accounts. PARTIAL PAYMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED 11 1 » Penalty of One Per Cent Will Be Added After February 1 t Save money and possible embarrassment later by paying your taxes now. The rate of penalty will advance 10 per cent each month until May, when property will be advertised. C. B. ROEBUCK SHERIFF, MARTIN COUNTY not. It is only the station at which we awoke and came to ourselves. It was the best year for our souls in many; and, not only that, it will prove to be the year that people began to acquire some business sense, and perhaps some political honesty and decency. We should never complain with or hate the teach er who gives us the hard lesson, because it is only the hard battles that give us great victories. So 1931 is going to help millions of homes to become safer and better places to live. Even though we have had men who have cowardly run away from life and plunged their souls into the great beyond because the fight was hard, we will find the great mass of human souls will be warmed and strengthened by the conflicts and lessons taught them in ind by the unfailing law that man can not pros per when too far away from God. The Tobacco Farmer's "Independence" Farmer' are proud of their "independence," but the lunrnt issue of The Progressive Farmer-Rwalist p,lints out that "equality" is also desirable: "By increasing the price of cigarettes the equivalent of "more than IS cents on each pound of cigarette to bacco, and at the same time cutting the average price of the farmer s tobacco from about a 15-cent average last year to less than 10 cents this year, the manu facturers have given the farmer double cause far com plaint. Not only is the manufacturer getting more and the farmer less, but the inc/eas in price of cigar ettes has reduced the demand for tobacco and so cur tailed the farmer's market. "All of which admirably illustrates th power of or ganization on one hand, and, on the othar hand, the impotence of the unorganized farmer's boasted "inde pendence." "We again rise to suggest that the gentlemen who are so much disturbed about preserving the farmer's glorious 'liberty' and independence,' might do well to think a little about giving the farmer 'equality'— equality in economic and bargaining power when he comes to dspose of the products by which life is sup ported for himself and his family." Dethrone the Dollar What America needs more than any other one thing is to cripple the gold dollar, which is now the reign ing king of the country. The fleecy cotton fields of the South are bowing at its shrine; the wheat fields of the Golden West, and the factories of the North and East are tottering under its heel. Our people have worshipped it, and our government has nurtured "it until it has put every thing else under its feet. It has conquered the home, the field, the factory, and nothing else has a value. What we need to do is to dethrone the dollar and place it where it rightfully belongs. Then our cot ton, corn, wheat, and all other products will pay some debts and buy some goods, and our people will find work to do. Rules Hinder Democracy Ihe rules of Congress hinder democracy in th:it they do not permit reprsentatives to "speak out" un til th'.-y have been members for several terms. The man who is elected fresh from the people, and whose heart beats with and for the people, is virtually choked and gagged by the rules until he has wallowed around Washington a few ycirs, attended a number of parties, and learned the rules of political dodging, and how to gracefully fool the folks back home, and gratifies his social desires to eat with a few of the big folks, who turn his head by a little patting on the back, and he absorbs enough of the political mange to make them feel that he is fully capable of advising the home folks and tell them how to act and what to do. Then he becomes an active representative, and is prepared to dodge his way year after year and session after session. HE BNTERPRI THE LETTER-BOX SANTA CLAUS VISITS THE METHODIST PABSONAGB Some good spirit whispered to our folk* how to make the hearts at the parsonage glad and happy, and the re sult was a gracious list of gifts. Be ginning the evening with a nice turkey already dressed, the dining room table was heavily loaded with all kinds of good things. The gifts alone were val uable and highly appreciated because of that fact, but more—much more— the spirit that prompted these gifts is what we appreciate most. A heart that gives and gives willingly and gladly is a heart that loves. This was an old-time Methodist pounding. I wish for the other pastors the same joy. At the time these friends visited us v Mrs. Rogers and I were both in bed sick, so I take this opportunity of thanking all who so kindly and thought fully remember us. God bless you. C. T. ROGERS.
