Bull fighting and a few other sports have
•ibeen frowned down upon and ruled out in
/this country as being too creel, but each year
hundreds of thousands of fans whoop, shout
hand yell when fifteen football players are
‘.'fatally injured and many others are maimed
,'jfor life each season.
i): As numbers go, fifteen aren’t many, but
'•jas long as one life is lost something should
bbe done to-enhance the safety of all players*
alt just doesn't quite add up even when mil
lions are spent to eliminate killing and
maiming on highways and in factories and
■'the slaughter and maiming of youth on the !
/‘gridiron are accepted.

v, A fairly recent survey of rural households |
uin eastern North Carolina reveals some
rstartling facts. While the white owners hold
esome advantage over the colored tenant,
itsboth of them are victims either of a cruel
economic system or of their own shiftless
\ness.
■j To read the sur\e> report one is convine
. C'd that too much criticism has boon directed
.about the treatment of the colored race and
i.not enough lias been said about the treat- j
■tment received by both white and colored at
the hands of those who set the prices for
what the farmer produces and what the far
mer btiys.
There have been marked improvements
i m recent years, and the survey shows that
* l
| the colored race has progressed possibly at
a greater ratio than the white. It is admitt
; ed, however, that there’s room for more im
; provement all around.
Picking out a few of the pertinent facts
I in the survey, one finds that about 87 per
cent of white householders had radios and
: that radios were in 74 percent of the color
ed homes. Seventy-five percent of the white
householders had autos and forty-five per
cent of the colored families had cars. Just
about fifty percent had electric lights, and
less than a third had mechanical refrigera
tors.

With Dewey and a Republican Congress
in power, the South can look forward to a
doubtful and dark future. The die is being
cast, and the wolves are anxiously waiting
for the first piece of pie.
Agriculture has been assured price sup
ports in a weak and indirect fashion, Dewey
and his forces saying the> favoi price sup
ports but not control that supports the price
support.
It will be recalled that Mr. Dewey vigor
ously opposed equal freight rates for the
South.
The Republicans are figuring night and
day to knock out the last vestiges of compe
tition and restore monopoly.
Federal regulatory agencies will bo at
tacked and wiped out.
Power expansion programs will reverse
their order and shrink.
World trade is certain to be knocked un
conscious by the tariff blocks.
The atomic energy program for which the
taxpayers were called upon to spend two
billion dollars is subject to be turned over
to private interests with greedy hands.
Truman and the Democrats have muddled
some issues, but their record will look un
blemished compared with the muddle the
voters will create by supporting either
Dewey. Thurmond or Wallace.
Herbert Hoover says the U. S. cabinet
must be enlarged and “the president must
be relieved of a large amount of his admin
istrative duties.” Hoover ought to be an ex
pert along that line as he was relieved of all
his duties as president.
The duty of a judge is to render justice;
his art is to delay it. Jean de la Rruyere.
