Friday, December 20. 1935 A Hopeful Sign The unwanted baby seems to have a new hope at this Christmas season. Orphanages in a majority of the states say that there are more applications from childless homes for children to be adopted than ever before. Still some jieopl say that the earth is flying off the hinges and going to the dogs. But this is nut so. when the hearts of men and women without children of their own hunger for the spirit of youth and long for the opportunity to adopt some little human waif that they know'not in order that they may love and cherish and press to their own hearts to satisfy the longing heart and till the void that only human love can supply. After all, we may be too quick to judge the world. For God has filled the world with love, and it will never fade and go out. even though it may sometimes appear to grow dim. The man or woman w ho has compassion on one of the least of humanity is fulfilling the demands of the great commission. This "Buy at Home" Talk 1'iontrr-Tribunt We realize, of course, that advocating a policy of "Buy at Home" often falls on deaf ears. The lure of distant markets has always exerted a ntagii that many people cannot resist. ? But, whenever you find a good town, a lively, pro gressive community where stores are blight and at tractive, where tine churches and schools iare-munei; ous, where there is pride taken in the attractiveness of homes and lawns, you will find thai the |>eople of that town are mostly ' buy at-homers." This applies as much to the business man and his family as it does to the day laborer: oftentimes it is the former who is the biggest offender against the "buy-at-home" pro gram. The person who buys merchandise away from, home is no better than the local employer of lalsir who hires outsiders. Both are contributing their mite toward crippling their own community, and helping some oth er town. ? Change Needed in Tenant System ? Many tenant fanners are roaming the country, looking for land to tend, many of them finding n^n.v The problem is one of the must serious facing the South today. We have followed very poor methods so long that there have grown up hostilities between the landlord and the tenant The rift between the two has come about because of their unfair methods fol lowed during the depression. Many tenants over traded. and plunged thrir landlords into debt so deeply that they lost their farms. Landlords have learned from costly exfierience that such tenants are unsafe, and they refuse to have them on their lands. On the other hand, many good, industrious tenants, who are trusty, find landlords trying to cultivate too much land with an inadequate lalior force. This prac tice has been very general since the depression, the landlords, in many cases, overloading their leantns in an effort to avoid the responsibility of feeding and clothing a large number of workers. There needs to be a change in the system. There is still more than a living in farming with the best of management anil plenty of work, but not even a living for the tenant who refuses to raise his home supplies so far as it is possible lor him to do so, but depends on buying his living frum other fieople and |iaying big profits. Such farming lias almost broke the South, and will break the United States if it un dertakes to let fieople who never perform an honest duty and who never take care of a crop have all the su[>plies they want. They will eat up the government only too quick. Cooperation between land owners and tenants is very essential. The two must know each other better and pull together if each is to make a living. The Only Issue at Stake Some |>eople have criticized the government's presen tation of the A. A. A case before the Supreme Court of th United States. ? The public ought to know that big interests em ploy nearly every great lawyer in the country, not only for their legal but for political ability as well. There fore, it is hard for the government to go before the courts with but one or two attorneys when the trusts have thousatjds already trained against them. At the rate the organized trusts are extending their inlluence, the fieople who are out of the trust?for the benefit of whom the government was formed?will not be able to get w ithin a mile of a court very much long er. nor will they lie able to get even in sight of our law-making bodies. We are told we have liberties, which, however, are choked before they get to tfs. Wealth has already decreed that it is going to elect the next Tresident of the United States because Roose velt has thought of and attempted to help the public. The issue i: clear-cut: Who shall reign; wealth and greed, or the fieople and liberty? Time To Call a Halt Both Japan and Italy need to be curbed. It is lime for the great flowers' of the world to flatly say "stop It is much easier to whip them now than it will lie later on when they have gobbled up all of China and much of Africa. Nobody wants war; yet, when such tactics as those followed by the two countries every day are permit ted, it is high time that they be called and severely punished. Japan and Italy seem to lie intoxicated with an ovet dose of imperialism, and neither is worthy to be trust id. When they get the mastery of the world where will freedom go?
