Mix Education With Athletics
Now that the baseball season is entering th^ last
lap, we are soon to begin school. Some of the big
ger boys say they will go to school if they can have
the chance to play ball and be big stars, but are not
interested in going to school just for the purpose of
learning something besides sports. They seem to put
athletics ahead of everything else.
It will indeed be a great day when our people learn
to properly value life's great opportunities. There
is only a small percentage of athletes who can earn
more than a living at their profession, and we are
judged latgely by our earning power and the good
we can do.
It would seem to be wise for us to mix as much
education with our athletics as possible.
A Religious War
The civil war now raging in Spain is proving to be
one of the most ruthless, cruel and bloody in modern
history. It compares with the Turkish atrocities,
the war of the Crusaders, and even the American In
dian massacres, when men, women and children were
slain and scalped They were no more vicious and
cruel than are the contending Spanish factions, who
^execute all they can capture of their opponents with
out a trial and without mercy.
The underlying cause of the war is religion, which
furnishes the kind of war that is more vicious than
any other hind. It is something that we thought we
had outgrown entirely; yet we seem to be far from
it. We only have to get in touch with our neighbors
to find out how much we can hate. Mure blood has
been spilled m religious wars than in any other kind.
The Good in Our Government
When a minor proportion of the total population
of a nation is so favored by the government that these
few accumulate a great quantity of wealth, then that
same government is hardly chargeable with being
communistic when ft taxes that wealth heavily to
maintain itself.
General revolution and chaos were facing this coun
try when Hoover gave up the reins of government
and Roosevelt took hold. The New Deal has saved
us from revolution and ruin. The same thing that
hurt us back in 1932 will hurt us again if given an
opportunity, and the same things that helped us in
1933 will continue to help us now.
Let us not forget the good in our government, and
deal fairly with all classes of people. We can see the
effect of class rule in many foreign countries today
where war and bloodshed prevail.
Tobacco Prices
El kin Tribune
Tobacco growers in this section w:li bp encouraged
by the price th^ leaf is bringing 'allowing the open
ing of the auction season in the border belt markets.
()|>ening day prices on several markets averaged 25
cnts a pound. From nearly every market blocked
sales are reported, with very few turned tags
This will help to soften the resentment against Gov2
crnor Ehringhaus because of his determined effort to
have nothing to do with authorized compacts, but one
hates to think of what would have happened if nature
had not taken a hand.
As it stands, the farmers will not suffer so greatly
because of weather conditions that interfered with the
crop. They perhape will get almost as much for their
curtailed production as they would have received had
conditions been more favorable. But that is not all
that these reasonably satisfactory prices will mean to
the tobacco farmer. It means that with no govern
mental brake on his planting and harvesting, and if
?there is to be no effective cooperative effort to hold
production in line with demand, that next planting
season will see the farmers planting and cultivating
th weed "like the devil a-beating lanbark," and we'll
have another era of long faces and grumbling.
After what the farmers have been through; after
they have seen the benefits of crop control, even tho
it had to be forced on them, it ought not be necessary
to resort to compulsion again. But compulsion in
one form or another will be necessary, human nature
being what it is. ,
It is not hard to see why the farmer overlooks the
ini|>oriance of gauging his planting by the law of
supply and demand. He has obligations that must be
met and his only source of income is what he con
jures from the soil. If he knows that he must have
a thousand dollars, and if it is necessary to double
his production to raise that amount, he doubles. But
he doesn't apply the same principle all the way thru.
11 it looks like prices will be such that he can raise
his thousand dollars with half a crop, be decides to
let his neighbor do the curtailing and he doubles his
acreage. The result is a surplus?and all of us know
what that means.
