Published Every Thursday by ELK PRINTING COMPANY, Inc. Elkin, N. C. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1937 Entered at the post office at Elkin, N. C., as second-class matter. C. 8. FOSTER... - PrwMent H. F. LAFFOON Secretary-Treasurer SUBSCRIPTION RATES, PER TEAR In the State, $1.50 Oat of the State, $2.00 Maybe if it hadn't been for the noise of the battle that peace conference in Eu rope might have been more successful. Trouble is that with all these alphabet ical agencies, we've about lost track of the USA. If Solomon really wasn't the wisest man then you've got to hand the orchids to the fellow who managed his publicity. Experts claim they don't know what caused the gyrations of the stock market. Just credit it to sunspots and let it go at that. No matter what language you set out to learn it soon becomes obvious that you can tell a lie via one of them as well as an other. Your wife probably will admit that all any husband needs with a latch key is the courage to come home and use it. Add to list of optimists: the hitch-hiker with both thumbs amputated. Our notion is that the "easy-payment plan" is about the worst named thing in the world. But you never hear anyone complain ing about the noise money makes when it talks. For plain obstinacy, don't overlook the gal, who, when the shoe pinches, changes stores instead of sizes. Two Sides To The Picture Boake Carter, popular news commenta tor, through and off the air is immensely concerned about any American attitude to ward Japan that would serve to interrupt our trade relations with that nation. He stress ed the point that Japan is our best custom er—buying more than she sells. But the picture can be turned around for a look at our trade with China which is not so significant as to the items we sell as to the necessities we buy. For we are buy ing things from China that we can ill afford to do without, and Japanese success there would be something more than an interrup tion—it would be a tragedy, for Japan would take pleasure in marking us off the list of preferred customers. China is the chief source of tungsten, a filament that is necessary in the lighting of American homes; antimony for alloying metals is a Chinese product; tung oil is nec essary for quick drying varnishes; Chinese wool for our carpets; Chinese sesame oil for scrap, and many other items that our in dustries must have in their manufacture. China is the world's greatest exporter of eggs in dried or frozen form. We could and should manage to get along without these it is true, but getting along without them would increase our manufacture costs. And certain it is that Japan's success would in a few short years eliminate that nation as our best cotton customer, for that is one of the things Japan is seeking in try ing to shoot subservience into the Chinese— to provide cotton fields that will make her independent of America. Charting a New Course Mr. Landon and Mr. Hoover, both were defeated at the polls, and the defeat of one was about as drastic as the other. Both ran for the highest office within the gift of the people, and at the head of the same par ty. That would seem to give each an equal footing when they ask to be heard concern ing the future course of the party. Mr. Hoover is convinced that an off ysar convention of G. O. P. leaders to draft a new declaration of principles for his party, and warns that elections cannot be won by "joy-riding on mistakes." He declares that the "people only join in the march when they know where they are going." Mr. Landon would have his party adopt a policy of watchful waiting, believing that it is bad politics to make commitments three years in advance; commitments that might turn out to be embarrassing. Be that as it may, the thought here is that there is noth ing to lose in a bold declaration of principles honestly and sincerely arrived at, and there is no good reason why the Republican party in 1938 cannot indicate to the voters where it will be headed in 1940—unless political expediency is to be placed above political righteousness. And Mr. Hoover, a man with great ability and the faculty for clear statement of issues, as witness his Boston speech, if given the privilege could help write a platform that would endure for more than three years. Joining Mr. Hoover in favor of an early national conference of Republicans is Dr. Glenn Frank, former president of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, who does not believe that the Republican party should leave ev erything to chance and in the national con vention in 1940 write a catch-all He wants the party to stand for something —not everything. And just by way of prophecy, put this down in your little red book: This self same Dr. Glenn Frank will be much in the headlines 'twixt now and 1940, with his name at the head of the ticket by no means an impossibility. The Danger Of It With more than fifty deaths directly traceable to an "exilir," the basis of which is fundamentally sound and constituting a valuable discovery that may yet perform miracles in the treatment of certain diseases when it is properly balanced, should be enough to give pause to habitual "dose-tak ers," who listen to quacks and venders, irre sponsible in the extreme. It is significant that doctors them selves, at least a few of them, had been fool ed in the sulphanilamide preparation, and following the directions of the manufacturer had prescribed for patients. The point is that if the preparer of this "elixir," a con cern that stands well among its fellows, could make such a damaging mistake as this, how may one expect any sort of safe ty and exactness from the faker who bases his hope of profit on the suckers that fall for his ballyhoo. Most "patent medicines" are concocted of little inexpensive nothings, with no other purpose than to extract money from a gul lible public. Not long since, the air was full of the astounding merits of a "remedy" that analysis shows is made of the cheapest horse-salts dissolved in water and when packaged attractively sells for a dollar a bot tle. There is plenty to indicate that the folks fell for it, without even crossing their fingers. But there are enough of the other kind: the health-sapping, habit-forming, actually dangerous "remedies,'' to make them next to a national tragedy. It is a pity that sen sible people refuse to see the danger. The very fact that these patent medicine venders seek to market their wares where they pre sume there is nothing but ignorance, should be enough to arouse resentment from those they approach. But all too often they are welcomed. There are so many conflicting condi tions to be considered in the giving and tak ing of medicines, that none of it should be used except after careful diagnosis by one who is trained in his work. That's why physicians and pharmacists are hedged about with laws and why we should keep medicine out of our systems when not pre scribed and prepared by them. The Crop Control Issue The North Carolina Grange, meeting in Winston-Salem last week had the opportun ity of hearing a speaker favorable to com pulsory crop control and one who is not fa vorable, and then decided to vote neither way on this issue. Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace presented the administration viewpoint, and Senator Bailey gave his reasons for oppos ing compulsory control. And in the course of his remarks, the North Carolina Senator is quoted as having said that he will not vote for compulsory control, "although there is more sentiment for it here than perhaps any other State in the nation." That statement alone is significant be cause it shows that Senator Bailey sub scribes to the theory that when people elect their representatives to Congress they mission him to rely solely upon his own good judgment and let it go at that. And really there is a school of thought that runs along that line, but there is another that holds that a representative should represent, which manifestly the Senator is not doing when he, says that although he knows the sentiment of his people is for compulsory crop control he will vote against it. Senator Bailey has presented his argu ment on this issue time and again, and by his own acknowledgment he has not been able to convince his constituents. Being the servant of those who sent him to Wash ington, to our way of thinking, he should re spect their wishes in matters that do not challenge his integrity. Be that as it may, both Secretary Wal lace and Senator Bailey present plausible ar gument for their respective sides on this is sue. Senator Bailey presents an alternative program of "inducements to induce farmers to produce fewer soil depleting crops," and offers the "export bounty" plan as the most rational and cheapest solution to the farm problem in the South. Maybe he is right, considering cotton farming as a whole, but we wager that under the export bounty plan the small cotton farmer would be left hold ing the bag. National Grange officers are fighting the New Deal program at every turn, and tried manfully to deliver its membership vote against Mr. Roosevelt in the campaign, and while there are reasons to suppose that a majority of Grange members in North Carolina favor government control, it was contrived that they should not say so, plain out.
