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.
