The Best Fixed Man in the Country
The best fixed man in the United States today is
the farmer who has farmed for a living and not for
money.
When.all farmers follow that system, times will im
prove, certainly so far as those who practice that sys
tem are concerned. They should not make the mis
take of trying to farm for money any longer.
Probably Too Much Boyish Optimism
Mr. Farley, Franklin D. Roosevelt's campaign
manager, claims every state in the Union for his man.
And, no doubt the Democrats are entitled to all the
states, but Mr. Farley should remember that there are
many dirty tricks in politics, and things are not al
ways as they should be.
While here is hoping that Mr. Roosevelt gets a
sweeping majority next N'evember, we fear that Mr.
Farley is possessed of too much boyish optimism.
Plain Talk
Guy A. Card well, agricultural and industrial agent
for the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, had some in
teresting things to say in a recent article, labeled,
"Plain Talk."
Many unsound plans are suggested and oftentimes
put into operation Tjy well-meaning people during
periods of economic dlaicS. And yet it might be un
wise to discourage even loose thought and yjnyiiature
action, because by experimentation and hattJP'xper
ience good is sometimes derived.
Plans that would be rondemned in normal times
may work to the advantage of the largest number of
people in times of breakdown through the sheer forces
of personality and enthusiasm; however, Une can
hardly endorse the ideas of those who propose to cure
our financial ills with further large appropriations
and expenditures.
Past extravagant standards should not be main
tained even temporarily by further extravagant ex
penditures, for in thjs direction lies complete per
sonal and national ruin.
What we need is neither extravagant spending nor
unwise hoarding, but sane thinking and moderation
in buying.
We have referred in the past to the lack of trade
balance from which Southeastern States and com
munities are suffering. We have been drained dry by
The Open Door
efficient manufacturers and live salesmen of thousands
of articles made in other sections, which we desired
and thought we could not do without. Then too,
regional inferiority-complex, under which we of the
South labor has had a good deal to do with our buy*
ing habits.
We should try to shake off this unfortunate feeling
and spend our hard-earned dollars (or home goods
when possible. This practice, under existing condi
tions would, in our opinion, be of advantage to the
community, state and section in which We reside.
Exchange of products or trade between sections and
nations is ordinarily a sound policy, and we should not
be selfish to the extent of trying to live to ourselves;
but we must to a considerable extent stop the flow
of dollars out of the territory in which we are primar
ily interested, until that time when other sections will
take our lumber, cotton, tobacco, peanuts, fruits and
vegetables and other raw products at prices that will
give us a profit sufficient to warrant us in ignoring to
some extent our local manufacturers, and enable us
to participate on more even terms in buying in the
market places of the North, East and West.
Each community will largely have to take care of
its own people until there is general stimulation in
business and improved opportunites for profitable em
ploy met.
Some communities are encouraging the preservation
of food by canning surplus products given by truck
farmers who have sold the fruits of their fields and
labor as long as profitable sales could be made. These
goods will be used next winter to partially relieve
those families needing help, thus effecting a real sav
ing.
Surplus irish and sweet potatoes, and cowpeas if
available, and if arrangements can be made to keep
them in sound condition, would also help solve the
food problem next winter.
. Other serious winter problems ahead of most com
munities are fuel and housing for the destitute. Dur
ing the months just ahead those communities that have
access to cheap fuel, wood, will get supplies together
and hold for careful distribution as needed. The
housing problem willbe troublesome to solve in cases
where occupants are without income, thus placing the
entire burden of taxes, insurance and necessary re
pairs upon property owners who are already sorely
pressed to meet these obligations.

Only Rich Men Should Serve in War
The clash between the bonus army and the Ameri
can army in Washington last week is perfect proof
that no man should be allowed to serve in the armies
except very rich men. If such was the case, war
would cease. And even if we did have war, we would
not have to pension and bonus starving, cripple sol
diers.
Poor folks will quarrel and fight a little occasionally
but they don't raise big wars and destroy countries.
Wars in most cases are not created to protect hu
man they are conceived, nurtured and born
to protect greedy traders, individual or national.
When the people get wise enough to let the fellows
who raise the fuss do the fighting, we will not have
very many wars/"-
We have l>een too thoughtless about war. We have
rushed too headlong into the name of patriotism when
it was little more than organized murder. The world
needs to kill the war spirit. We need to get away
from the spirit of "for country, right or wrong." The
bonus army was drawn into service years ago. They
have been led by designing, dirty politicians. They
went to war because they were told to go. They went
to Washington because of the promises of grafting
politicians.. They deserve sympathy and some con
sideration because they knew not what they were
doing. They followed selfish leaders with selfish pur
poses.
Let the men who start war, do the fighting
