Nobody’s Business . GEE McGEE— , l Wantrd; More Time* and Belter , Time*. Uncle Joe likes to talk, and es-j pecialy does he like to talk on sub jects that he knows nothing a$. all' about. That seems to be a human | tailing in these parts, but Uncle Joe Is the leader in political bull as well i as the chief prognosticator of the j community. According to Uncle Joe, the drought that, stretched its tentacles j from New Jersey to Colorado was1 caused by the Republican party, and as proof of such—he asks if such a drought ever took place during a Democratic administration. He does not mean that the Republicans ■wanted the drought or ordered it— it is just the aftermath of so much hot air and wind-jamming. Uncle Joe says that the scarcity of ready cash develops men and women. Most people want money to buy things with that they can get ^^g without.- He says you never *Plr of folks complaining because they have no money with which to buf bread and meat: the growling comes from not being prepared to pay for all of the gas and oii and tires that you can use. Uncle Joe explain* the flexible tariff in this manner: If Henry ford wants to ship a million tons of iron ore into this country from Rus sia, the tariff will so •'flex” that it can come in duty free, provided, of course, that he converts that iron ore into Fords and tractors and ships them out of the country. A bale pf cotton and a bushel of corn cannot receive benefits from tlie flexibility in question. as home grown raw products can’t play that game. Uncle Joe says that he can re member when a man with a cow and a mule and a plow and 9 or 10 children was happy and contented, but now he gets his milk from the store in' cans, he hates mules, and despises plows, and his old lady has been taught to avoid children, that is—not try to raise any, as they are expensive, and might turn out to be drunkards of neckers or flappers, or possibly a politician of some kind, and there's the saxaphohe pr,i the ukelele to be considered. 'Jut Uncle Joe predicts better times when the common people < meaning those who work and toil and keep the world a fit place tc live in> get back to earth and de cide that it is best to try to make an honest living instead of a pile ol money. He thinks well soon have to learn to live within our means as all our money is gone, our credit has vam-moosed, and our friends have disappeared. Uncle Joe is pos sibly right.

Jonas a Repub lican was elected over his Democra ! tic opponent, and his record in coti jgress, by virtue of his influence as i a Republican, in getting things done for his district, apparently groomed him for either a broader service to his state, or a continua tion in his present position. But Mr. Jonas has been inocu lated with the germ of political ex pediency, So prevalent among poli ticians, and has allowed himself to pander to prejudice, in an effort to gain votes. Over in Shelby he jo mixed his facts as to cause hts speech to become a veritable boom erang both to himself and his party; in Charlotte he stated that North Carolina school children are requir ed to pay an average of $10 per child for textbooks, when as a mat ter of fact it. is shown by the U. S. department of education that such average is only $162. We are .commenting on this, not because we are concerned about who is elected to congress from the ninth congressional district, because we are not, but we are vitally con cerned with the general tendency of our political leaders to follow the old-time maneuvers of the peanut politician in coloring facts to make them reflect to personal advahtage, rightly presuming that the voter has neither time nor the inclina tion to think things out for himself. And this is being practiced in both political parties. We shall continue to hope that we may yet develop a political lead er who will rise above this sort, of thing; a man who will treat his con stituents as though they were in telligent, thinking human beings and base his appeal to them solely upon the righteousness of his cause, w'ithout riding into office on pre judice of his own creation. But in the light of present day methods, that time is a long, long 1 way. off. 'Jo.
