Senator Boarh Has Difficult Task Senator Borah will have a rather difficult time in convincing anybody that he has ever done anything of any great importance for anybody. O course, the republicans don't trust him because he fights them when it comes election tittle, and he campaigns for the democratic nominee. Of course, the democrats thank him for all that he has done against the re publicans, but they are not going to vote for him when a good democrat is available. Mr. Borah is clever, but when it comes to doing things, he talks it out. He is more like a shooting star that throws out much light as it streams across the sky only to increase the darkness when it goes out. The man seems to be honest, and would probably be a good congress if he could be the vicfc president, speaker of the house of representatives, 96 senators, 450 representatives, seargeant-at-arms and run both the congressional restaurants, but he can't seem to work in a team without straddling the tongue. Attacked Then and Attacked Now Much is being said these days about Woodrow Wilson's World War attitude. Evidently the critics are banking on lost memory to put their false pro paganda across. However, they are mistaken if they think the world has forgotten that Theodore Roose velt's drastic criticism of Wilson's slowness in enter ing the war was used as a slogan of abuse of the ad ministration by the same said fellows who art now cursing him for entering the war. It seems to be impossible to please an outside re publican, but he is always happy when he gets his head in the trough. It will be remembered, how ever, that his head was out then, and is out now, and, of course, he fussed then and we need not be surpris ed if he fusses and cusses now. The truth about the war is the agitation was pushed by the crushing money power which the republican politicians live so close to. All Entitled To a Fair Profit Now the truck owners are doing the squealing. The railroads, after losing business (or several years on account of the truck and bus lines taking both their freight and passengers, have now reduced their rates below that of the trucks and busses for both passen gers and freight, and it is the trucks and busses that are squealing now with nobody knowing what the end will be. The railroads are now delivering freight in towns, except the carload shipments, and this will tend to gain much favor from shippers. The railroads are al so carrying passengers for 1 1-2 cents per mile, a fig ures that is just as low as the busses can meet. All these things will perhaps mean a more efficient and better regulated system of public carrying eventually, and somebody may have to go out of business. How ever, it is poor business to force any enterprise to op erate without profit. The merchant, the factory, the farmer and the public carriers are all entitled to a reasonable profit, and must have it, or business con ditions will indeed be poor. One of our troubles would seem to have been caused by too much expenditures for transportation equip ment. Nature's Time Clock Hardly Ever Fails Farmers should not become discouraged over the long wet, cold season. Nature's time clock seldom fails to give man time to do his part in producing a crop, and evidently will not deny him that privilege this year. Man needs to gird himself with faith and march bravely on, not losing his trust, and willing to take his*part of the responsibilities for his failures; that is, if he would be happy. Marry Hopeful Daniels Will Run The report that Joseph us Daniels is likely to enter the campaign for United States Senator against Josiah W. Bailey will, no doubt, be pleasing news to a large namber of people who want a real Democrat of the old school to represent them in the balls of Congress. The majority of the people want a man who stands far what the following applies?government of, by and for the people. And Mr. Daniels is a man of whom our State could be proud of in the Senate or False Propaganda Sound money seems to disturb men sod scare them when no man pursueth them, (or the truth is that every American dollar is sound, and no man need doubt them. If our dollars are not sound, then the major part of our government bonds are not good. The only thing that makes a bond good is the gov ernment's ability to pay that bond, and the govern ment can repay a dollar redeemable without interest much easier than it can pay a bond burdened with interest. The amazing thing is that the bondholders who draw interest have been able so long to fool the pub lic into thinking that some money is unsound. They never dare to say that the government's bonded obli gations are unsound, because they want to draw in terest. There is a big fight against inflation all be cause the big bankers want to control the amount of money and the extent of its circulation in the coun try. One's memory goes back to 1919 and 1929 when the banks lent everybody money until they had in creased the circulating medium many times, not by the creation of new money, but by taking a one-horse farmer's $1,000 note, discounted it, and about the time the borrower began to feel rich, the banks begin a quick and merciless system of deflation, broke up the borrower's root and branches, and taking about everything he had in the world except his wife and children. They were left to starve with the borrower. Those with good memories will recall the time when the banks were lending money at 20 percent interest in that wild gamble orgie of 1929 and when the federal reserve board advised the big private banks of the impending danger of credit expansion and the bankers rebuffed them and told them to go to the devil. Those same bankers are unwilling to let the government govern the amount of money to be placed or withdrawn from circulation because they want to exercise the privilege themselves and because it gives them a better opportunity to steal. Therefore, they flood the country with false propaganda to fool and to scare the people. When they are talking about sound and unsound money, they are simply lying, and for the good it will do them and not the country. It looks as if we would learn some time that when a man gains fifty millions of dollars in a life time and gets a quarter, a half or a whole million dollars a year, he has robbed somebody and that he is no respecter of persons and will devour you "too. We should have too much sense to listen to them. The great question at issue is, shall the govern ment regulate the circulation of money so the people may be safeguarded, or shall the vested interests be permitted to expand and contract the currency so they may loot the people? An "Adpaper" or a Newspaper?Which? Morganton Nturs-Herald. If the average newspaper were to carry all of the free publicity requests it receives, its readers would get what The Statesville Daily accurately describes as an "Adpaper" rather than a Newspaper. "Free publicity" is nothing but propaganda, and commercial propaganda at thai, in 9 cases out of ev ery 10. In most instances it comes in the form of carefully prepared articles with just enough reader interest to conceal the purpose and provide a build-up for future profit. We get some idea of the scope of this racket from the advertising department of the Pawtucket, R. I., Times, which conducted a check-up over a 30-day period on the number of such requests from other than local concerns, the total running to 2,134. It is estimated that these 2,134 individual pieces of free publicity received by this Rhode Island paper in a single month, if paid for at space rates, would have added $28,000 to that paper's income for the month. Multiply that amount by all the papers of similar importance in the nation, which these various agencies seek to rape in this manner, and you will get a good idea of the scope of what has become to be?a racket. We agree with The Daily in the position that the newspaper should refuse to carry this free publicity, for it is a service that should be paid for. It would be of some service to the subscriber, it is true, but, to quote again from The Daily, "it also a service to the reader to provide space to tell of bargains in pins or pants, but neither the subscriber nor the dealer ex |>ects this service to be free?else neither would have a newspaper after 60 days of this free riding. ."Blank white paper is the newspaper's raw mater ial, and this it blocks off into space, part of which it pledges to the use of the subscriber in relaying to him or her, current happenings or other interesting items, periodically for a specified time and specified place. Other spaces it sells to the advertiser who would send a message to this group of readers, or who would use these blocks of white space as a show window for their wares, and at a price previously agreed upon. The two together furnish the lifeblood that makes the paper permanent. When either fails in this sup port the paper dies." .It isn't fair to the subscriber to fill news space with such propaganda or To the advertiser, who must pay for his space. A Hot Situation Well, athletic* in evidently getting pretty hot and dangerous since all the college and university presi dents have had to lock themselves in while the dis cussion was going on. T he University of North Carolina president might not have a plan that will promote athletics, but he is certainly advocating something that i* more sorely needed than winning teams. When athletics loae their power to promote fairness, good sportsmanship and honesty, they have about lost all their value anyway. Where is the world going anyway? We, of course, will have to wait until God tells us, for tnan it pretty ignorant on that point. But let us hope for the bast. 8ALB OF VALUABLE FAAM Under and by virtue of the au thority conferred upon ua in a deed jf trust executed by L. A.
