A Step Toward Sodom -*
North Carolina "College for Women t(K*k one step
toward Sodom last week when it opened house for
women smokers in face of the fact that all the science
the college teaches, shows clearly that smoking can
not, in any way, help the smoker. No part of the
human anatomy, the human mind nor tiie soul are
strengthened by the use of the little deadly cigar
ette. our Stale seems to be willing to bow down
to the whims of foolish habits, habits that will cer
tainly cripple the ability and s'ow down the progress
of every girl who enslaves her mind, body and soul
to the mastery of the cigarette.
Farm Board Unfairly Criticised
There has been more unjust criticism directed a
gainst the Federal Farm Board than any other of our
governmental agencies. Virtually all of the criticism
has been inspired by gamblers who have fixed the
prices on all the farmer's products, and by politicians
who have stood near the gamblers.
The gamblers know that if the government stands
by the farmer they will not be able to fix prices on
farm products, and that their business will soon come
to an end. ——=
With unfavorable conditions exisiting throughout
the world, the Farm Board has had a difficult task,
and it has been unable to stabilise prices. The Farm
Board will help the farmers if they stand up to it,
and not permit the speculator and politician to choke
it to death.
What To Plant?
Some farmers are now in a quandary as to what
to plant this year. The question is of great impor
tance because we have to plant to produce anything.
The indications are that no crop will sell high this
year. There are two reasons for this; first, there is
plenty of everything we produce, and, second, the
people who buy our goods are as poor as we are, and
can't buy except from hand to mouth, and in very
small quantities.
Apparently it will be foolish for a farmer to plant
any crop that costs much actual cash to produce.
Farmers generally will be unable to pay cash for
fertilizer, and it will be very hazardous to promise to
pay very mudi for fertilizer out of the crops that we
produce.
Doubtless the safest type of farm program to fol
low this year will be to give crops good distance,
cultivate well and then whatever is made will be
profit from land and labor.
This country prospered before farmers used fer
tilizer except such as was produced around the barn
yard, or taken from around the hedgerows. Since we
have gone to fertilizing and producing too much of
everything, we have run down prices and lost, our
lands.
There is plenty of room on the land for everyone
to work and it will produce sufficient food and cloth
ing for all. Farmers should plant crops that cost the
least.
Blue Sky Turns Black
North 1 Carolina has a blue-sky law. Most of the
other states have blue-sky laws, which make it un
lawful for any person to offer for sale securities, in
the form of stocks or other property evidences in any
company or corporation without the approval of the
proper authorities.
But the big New York banks were permitted to sell
about $6,000,000,000 worth of practically worthless
securities in virtually worthless wild-cat schemes of
Europe, especially German graft schemes. The un
suspecting American public bought these securities
through ignorance or the deliberate falsehoods of the
big New York banks. •  '
The whole trouble came about because the buying
public regarded the bankers as wise and honest finan
ciers. Now that their six billions of dollars, which
they were led to believe were being placed in high
class investments, are sunk in trashy unprofitable
schemes, they are convinced that the bankers were
amply shark agents working for commissions, with,
the purpose of helping to "skin" innocent p6oj^e.
The United States has no greater enemy on earth
. than the big bunch of New York money sharks. They
•re the fellows more responsible for the hard times
than any mm sise. They have proved to be traitors
to their brethren and told them to ths enemy.
A Task for the Farmer
The most important thing for the fanner to under
take this year, is the task of looking out for himself.
He has already learned that no one else is going to
take care of him.
If the farmers will cut down production, the world
will soon get hungry and go to him offering a fair
price for his goods. Plant fewer acres of costly crops
and let the man and the land bring forth what they
will. When this is done along with the proper rota
tion of crops, times will become better.
Big Business and Politics^
The Manufacturers' and Industrial new bureau
never ceases its criticism of politics in business. Per
haps there is nothing funnier, were it no so serious,
than its position. The bureau betrays great jalousy.
It is a well-known fact that that there is not a
single big business in America today that has not
fattened by the help and under the protection of
special governmental favors. The industrialists have
and are now directing the political moves of this coun
try.
The very moment the people ask for fair play, big
business Hies in a fit of jealousy and begins to squawk.
It is just like a hog that has been raised in a trough;
it begins to squeal when pushed out. The trouble
in the United States today resulted when big
business was given too many political favors. And
they are still being favored. ——
The people, -at large, have never been in politics,
no more than to go to the polls and vote when spur
red by political excitement. Big business buys both
sides when necessary. However, if one side can de
liver the favors, the big fellows only invest in one
party. 1
It is about time to put big business on the same
footing that little business has to stand on.
Credit, however, should be given the news bureau
for its wise sayings in a recent article, which reads,
in part:
"There are problems, of course, that no nation by
itself can hope to solve, problems of international
significance. These, too, the public must take an
interest in, if we are to have officials capable of rep
restning us in the work of world rehabilitation. Dis
armament, the stablization of silver, the encourage
ment of international trade, a sound tariff policy for
all nations, these may seem abstract things, but they
have a direct and effect on the prosperity
of every country, every business, every wage earner
and investor."
Still, We Must Carry On
A Kentucky farmer, who had watched his 1931
crop sell for almost nothing, became discouraged and
is credited with the following remark: "Heckl What's
the use of raising crops? I'm never again going to
say 'git up' to a mule unless he's settin' in my lap."
No doubt the low prices received for the 1931 cot
ton and tobacco crops have been responsible for many
farmers feeling the same way. In many instances to
bacco growers have carried their crop to market and
the receipts would barely cover the cost of grading
and transporting it to the marketing place. What
could be more discouraging? And yet, the farmer who
raised plenty of food and feed crops is better fixed
than the laborer who has depended upon his labor f
for his daily ration, and now in so many instantes
can find no work to do.
To get back to the spirit of the Kentucky farmer.
It is useless to give up, and the only safe thing to do
is "carry on". We believe the safest program for the
farmer during 1932 is to first plant plenty of acres
in food and feed crops to meet the home demands;
to use all the home-raised fertilizers available, and
to, by all means, reduce the use of commercial fer
tilizers. That will go a long way toward cutting
down the so-called surplus, and surely it will cut down
the cost of producing a crop.— Sampson Independent.
Japan's Open Policy
Ja|>an Vas abandoned her former tactics of trying
to steal She now openly flaunts in the broad,
open day the face of the world and greedily
grabs China's bSk territory.
The world is apfoently trembling in her sins and
playing the role of Abptitened coward.
Mr. ClarkVas a Big Task
Mr. R. R. Clark, Greensboro columnist, will have
a hard time in convincing the people of North Car
olina that the Hon. Josephus Danies stands for law
lessness.
Mr. Daniels will not have to open his mouth in
his own defense. His record, his life itself, has es
tablished a truth in the hearts of his countrymen so
firmly that slander can't affect it, nor can money buy
it out.
Transfer Seat of Government
One of the greatest needs of the American people
is to transfer the seat of government from Wall
Street, ftew York City, to Washington, D. C.
We have worshiped business under so many dic
tatorships that humanity is now starving to death.
,It will be far better for the business of the country
to collapse than it will be for the people to starve to
death.
Some New Words Needed
A good name was given Secretary of War Adams
by the director of public safety of Philadelphia. "Lit
tle Whiffet" can not be beat as a name for these po
litical stool piegons who have no other qualification
tqf their jobs than dignity.
There should be a lot of new words invented to
describe the littleness and crookedness of many of the
modern politicians. And some of them are really so
little that they haven't room to be crooked.
