Tuesday, April 25, 1923 Watch Your Reprsentatives It is feared that the buying (tower of the New York bankers and their allied trusts are too great a temp tation for some of our Representatives and Senators in Washington. We know that man is weak, and we also know that money is strong in its influence over men. Now is the time to put an eagle eye on Congress and see how many of them will quiver and quake as the "long green' waves before their eyes. Our fear is that the desertion of some of his frinds may yet handicap President Roosevelt in some of his money plans. Mills, Mellon Si (o. know how to han dle men, and we predict that they are going to work on them in the most direct and tempting way. What we need to do to keep the fellows from kick ing over the traces is to send weekly letters to all mem bers of Congres, urging them to stay away from temp tation, especially such temptations as often hover a round weak politicians. Two Negative Forces Our State Legislature seems to be made up of two negatives. Of course, it w»- hid a negative and a positive force, we might create a spark; but in this case, it seems to be that it is aH negative. If one end of the legislature at the capitol wants to do something, the other end swears it is wrong and at once tries to upset it. This kind of hair-pulling has gone on until folks have at least lost interest, and perhaps some few have lost respect. It seems to the outside observer that they have taken up as much time undoing as they have in do ing things. They fix a law. Then somebody looks at it, and it doesn't look so good, so all hands pile in and tear it down again. After all, the whole pro ceeding is beginning to take on the appearance of a joke. A few fellows represent one kind of interest ; another group represents some other line of thought, and the whole thing winds itself up in a circle and nothing is done except when they get off the track oc- casionally. Like all other groups of men, there are some very good individuals composing it; yet it seems to us that this legislature is more at sea than any one we have had during the past, 25 years, anil only a few of them seem to know where the man stands who pushes the button, and they don't know how to step until after the music begins. Given a Fair Trial Why should England try to punish Russia for put ting two Britishers in jail? Did they not give them a fair trial for violating the laws of the country? Suppose i#ople from foreign nations came to our country and plotted against our government, what would we do? Would we be any more decent or just in our trial of them than Russia was in the trial of the Englishmen? We doubt if any court in America would conduct a trial more honorably than the Rus sians did. We have the record of numerous trials in this coun try of Socialists and Communists for like crimes, and the whole weight of the courts have been noticeably against them. If a bunch of British engineers and disgruntled Russians did make a plot to injure the property of the Russian government, what is wrong in trying and punishing them? The big mistake that the strong sometimes make if in thinking that they are not subject to the same kind of jusice as the common herd. Whenever we go to the other fellow's country, then we should abide by his laws. i . Beer To The President How about brewers shipping beer by airplane to the President of th« United States? It looks too much like paying a debt. The act, measured by Christian ethics of both the sender and the receiver, is by no means elevating. Al though it may be pleasing to the bar-room bum. It seems to us that it would have shown a little more dignity if Mr. Roosevelt had returned the beer with a note saying that it looked too much like pay ment for his official signature, and that whatever beer the White House used it would buy just like other folks. Watch Your Corks The headlines say that Premier Mac Donald will seek to make gold the standard basts of the money of the world. We must not forget that it was by overpersuasion, and perhaps some other means, used by an English judge that induced John Sherman to slip through the death clause in our national monetary laws in 1873, that has caused destruction in our financial system for half a century. Now, we like the British. They are fine folks, and we know they are fine traders. We are inclined to think they outclass us in making deals. The best thing to do is always watch your corks. The Bleat From the Mellon Gang Just like we expected to hear, Andy Mellon and his gang are squealing about the inflation policy of President Roosevelt. And thereby comes the answer to the whole question of what the gold standard means. When Mellon and his gang flinch at going off the gold standard, you may know it is only another case of the hit dog hollering, because Mellon knows the gold standard is good for the rich, and inflation is good for the poor. Franklin I)., don't let the Mellon gang scare you. The people—the real people, who are the life's blood and the bone and sinew of the country—are with you. A Fashion Note From the Bible Franklin Times We read a report in a New York paper of a con vention of beauty shop people a few weeks ago. Ao cording to this report, the most interesting things in the exhibits were removable lips, demountable eye lashes, devices to change the shape of the nose, ap paratus to hold the ears back, artificial eye-sparkle, and little pictures for fingernail decoration. We began to wonder how women could be so fool ish as to think that such artificialities make them at tractive to men. But before we had got to the point of raising an outcry this degenerate modern age we happened to think that we had read something of the sort before. We looked it up and found it, written more than 2,000 years ago by a prophet named Isaiah: " The daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go and making a tinkling with their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, the chains and the bracelets and the mufflers, the bonnets and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, the ring and nose jewels, the changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the frisping pins, the glosses and the tine linen, and the hoods and the veils. Perhaps it wouldn't be any use for us to try to talk the girls out of their finery. Apparently Isaiah's threats didn't change feminine nature, which seems to be about the same now as it was in Old Testament days. Hut we have an idea that the girls of Isaiah's time, like those of today, didn't put on their dewdads so much to make themselves interesting to me as to make other women envious. That, however, is a mere man's point of view. To Somewhere Else .VeiM and Observer During 1932 a total of 1,554,000 persons left towns and cities to go to the farm: In the same period a total of 1,001,000 left the farm to go to the towns and cities. Though this wandering back and forth shows a net difftffhce in favor of the farm of more than half a million |>et>ple, its significance lies in its picture of the enforced restlessness of the American today. The city worker, unable to find employment in the cijy, turns in desperatfon to the farm, and the impoverish ed farm worker moves in the same spirit to the city. A better balance between rural and urban popula tion in America is necessary, but no true balance will be established by such helpless seeking. The farm is no easy place for the city trained worker to secure a living, and th farm-trained worker will seldom find in the city solution of his problem of securing a living. Costly Paper Bags North Carolina Cotton Grower. To save a nickel a year a lot of families are buying their flour in pa|>er sacks. If everybody in the na tion does this it will kill th emarket for more than 140,000 bales of cotton that now go into making flour sacks—more cotton than is grown in the largest of the Souths cotton counties. Distributed all over the cotton farmers of the South, it would mean losing the sale of several dollars' worth of cotton for each fam ily- -not much actual money, but it means slipping back when cotton growers' organizations and cotton spinners' organization are trying to build new mar kets. Buying flour in a paper sack is letting the oppo sition "put one over"—for cotton growers it is sav ing a nickel at an actual loss of 50 times that amount. Only 12 per cent of the flour used in this country last year was shipped in paper bags, while 70 per cent was in cotton bags, the remainder in jute. The paper bag movement has not gone so far but that it can be headed off, at least in cotton growing territory. The cost of a paper bag for 24 pounds of flour is only three-fourths of a cent cheaper than a cotton bag. Public sentiment can make it clear to the miller and grocer that they would do better to save the three fourths of a cent on something else, or let the con sumer pay the difference, which, as noted above, would amount to 5 cents a year to the average family.
