Organizing the Preachers
An exchange laments the fact that preachers do
not form a closer cooperation and cultivate a spirit
of greater sympathy. The article points out that
every other thing is organized and that which is good
and that which is bad work diligently for the things
which seem good for the groups. Many such organi
zations work directly against the things that all
preach against.
If all preachers would assemble often and study and
work together on the great problems that confront
us, we might be able to avoid lots of those things
that apparently are snatching us nearer the precipise
of destruction every day. It is an evident fact that
nearly every father and mother is on thorns daily
over the modern pitfalls confronting their boys and
girls, and many of them in this modern \t*>rld are
concerned about each other.
If our soiety is to be saved to decency and safety,
we must depend on Christianity, for there is hardly
a chance for us if we depend on beach pajamas.
Cotton Mills Do Not State the Facts
The cotton mills do not state the facts, according
to the findings of the Institute of Pacific Relations.
The American mills seem to want the American gov
ernment to remove the cotton processing tax and raise
the tariff on foreign cotton goods. The mill owners
claim that the tax is ruining America’s foreign trade,
which statement is false according to the findings of
the institute.
The claim advanced by the cotton mills will cut the
price of the farmer's cotton about one-third in value,
and give the American factory a world monopoly.
Foreign countries can’t buy our cotton unless they
can sell their manufactured goods. And if we bar
them by a tariff higher than the present one, the
American cotton farmer will suffer and the American
people will not be able to buy goods any cheaper.
We are unwilling to see the producer of raw ma
terials grow poorer day by day, and the user of the
manufactured product grow poorer in every way
W'hile the manufacturer stuffs his coffers to over
flowing.
