Too The nation's agriculture program had been ailacked, branded as being socialistic and called costly. Let’s look at the other side of the picture. Last year farmers in mhnv states plant ed a tremendous acreage to sweet potatoes. The growers, laboring with a big crop, re ceived hardly enough to pay expenses. And the consumer paid a moderate to high price, a price certainly higher in proportion to the one received by the producer. This year, farmers curtailed their crop, and sweet potatoes netted the producer an average of $3 or more per bushel. The con sumer is paying a fancy price. Now. if some acreage plan had been in effect, the grower, no doubt would have re ceived a living price for his potatoes last year. Of course, his income this year pos sibly would not have been as high as it w'as had there been an acreage geared to de mand. but at the same time, there would have been no below-cost-of-production pota toes and none out of the reach of moderate income consumers. But there are those who swear by the old helter skelter system advanced for many crops by the govern ment. 117nil's The ilternatire? In a recent interview with the David Law rence gang, that fellow Byrd, posing as a U. S. Senator from Virginia, explained the “South’s Plan to Beat' Truman”. Mr. Byrd talks about the two-thirds rule in the con vention. the balance of power and taxes. But, at no place does the Senator come forw'ard wdth an alternate. He is all-bent on defeating Truman, apparently thinking all wdll be well if Truman can be maneuvered out of the White House. Let Mr. Byrd and the other disgruntled souls come forward with a definite plan. Let them state their positions on farm programs and other policies close to the common peo ple. It is admitted that they have advanced a lop-sided tax pian as a part of t..i ir politi cal creed, and it is fairly evident that they are against just about everything advanced since March. 1933. If Byrd and Co. plan to remove the seat of government from Wash ington back to Wall Street, let them say so. Democracy Threatened Every American has the privilege to run for office, but many of those otherwise qualified are ruled out by campaign costs. The story coming out of the Ohio senator ial campaign costs is nauseating, and offers facts clearly indicating that Democracy is threatened. In some lands, it is the Divine Right of Kings, but in this country it is the Divine Right of Money that, with few excep tions. determines who shall follow who in public office. Anything is to be expected at the dog catcher level in polities, but when a man aspiring for the Presidency explains away his antics in one contest by calling his op ponent “another”, it is about time for some body, somewhere to step forward in the name of Democracy. It is bad for money to make itself f It in an election, but it is even worse when the elected makes influence felt in behalf of those who put up the money. The Political Price The firing of Lamar Caudle, former as sistant attorney general, could hold the key to all the rot in Washington. President Truman had nothing to lose in firing Caudle. North Carolina’s two sena tors have fought the President all the way. Now, in many other cases, men charged with corrupt practices have been retained, pos sibly because to fire them would have turn ed senators or congressmen against the president's programs. To carry the ball lor his party,. President Truman had to play ball with all kinds of players, including the unscrupulous. The political price comes high, but many would have it that way, regardless of price or results. Punish Itolli The nation is at fever’s pitcli o'-er the misbehavior of a few public office holders. The people have worked themselves into such confusion they are likely to turn the i cTock back aiut change tin course of history. The condition is being exploited a SI Put of its true proportion and for political and self ish reasons. The unsavory facts—and they are unsav ory, inoeed.have been charged all against one side. What about the business men who instigated the raw deals? If the United States Chamber of Commerce or the Na tional Association of Manufacturers, recog nized spokesmen for the business world, in dividually or collectively condemned the un holy practice as originating with business men, it has not been publicised. Apparently it is all right for a business man to gain something by bribery, but it is all wrong for a fellow to accept a bribe. Both the bribe-giver and the bribe-taker should be punished and punished severely. /'»/ nr I’it By Ruth Taylor The other day 1 was typing, in a hurry as usual. When I read over what 1 had written, there it was - “pit" instead of "put’’. Unfortunately that is what happens to impatient people far too often. Thep pit their energies against suspected opposition, wast ing precious time and strength, rather than put their energies to work to achieve their desired ends. They strive so hard in fighting off attacks, both real and imaginary, that they never drive ahead. I do not mean that we should follow the line of least resistance, that we should com promise or accept as perfect, half-measures. No indeed! Compromises usually struggle hard for the things in which we believe, but we should do so positively by working, ra ther than negatively by fighting. We should put all our efforts into con structive work, built up upon a firm foun dation. We should not spend our strength by pitting it again:., forces that are too often created out of our own minds or by our own prejudices. Half the troubles we dread never happen. Half the opposition we deplore exists only in our own thinking. "Put" is constructive - it is motion for ward. "Pit" is negative - it is placing against. "Pul" is productive - it is action ahead. "Pit" is static - it is only opposition. What we need is a lot more putting forth and a lot less'pitting against. Put it together - and put it across! Put the facts, not the' fancies, together, fitting them in logically and harmoniously, not just letting them jut out into thin air. Put your energies to constructive use, work ing with your fellow laborers in the vine yard Don’t pit your strength in senseless competition, hoping to boat some one else, trying to get things for yourself or for your group alone. Put it together and put it across! Don’t waste time arguing but see through what ever you start to do. Argument is good when plans are under consideration and we have yet to determine what we shall do - hut when the plans are made, we should not pit ourselves against the will of the major ity. We should work together to put it across. Put or pit - which do you do? ilirail of the Vo minis Christian Science Monitor It is strange how often souvenir hunting amounts in effect to vandalism. A famous flier's plane, unless closely guarded, may be all but dismantled. Buttons art torn off the coat of a visiting dignitary or screen star. Pieces of wood or metal are broken off the furniture in historic shrines or from public monuments. When the United Nations General Assem bly met in Paris three years ago numbers of translation headphones were torn loose and carried off by visitors. With these anchored 1 down, attention at the present session is said i to be turning to ash trays bearing the UN j emblem which were furnished by a Paris j department store. But the store is interested j enough in the UN to supply several thousand for the purpose. This may be good strategy, like the fore sight of American communities which en gage the energies of younsters at Halloween with parties and window-painting contests. But there is a good deal of room for educa tion in the principle that public property is not private prey. There should be and is more satisfaction in a suitable souvenir hon ' estly purchased than in one filched. CHURCF NEWS HAMILTON BAPTIST E. R. Stewart, Pastor. 10 a. m.. Bible school. H. S Johnson.
