If he doesn’t begin early, the slate's revenue will increase to the point where the sales tax can be eliminated and that would eliminate his .“plan.” HEADLINES TELL THE STORY Jr vu* hardly necessary for an official in the Roose velt administration to say in a speech the other day that the'“depression is definitely over.” . He»diit)»-5 in the newspapers are proving bv facts and figures that this very thing is true. Within the lust;,few days these headlines have said: “Chrysler's Net Doubled in ’85 to $18,659,309; Six Months' Period One of Most Profitable in Motor Firm's History.” “New Tops Set by 102 Stocks in Buying Rush." ‘ Sears-Roebuck Sales Up 38.9 Per Cent. For Four We^si”. i,' Steel Operations Jump to 43 Per Cenr. of Capac ity.^’ ' ‘‘$6,265,188 Profits For Westinghouse; Orders Up 21 Per Cent.” "Forty-four Corporations Report 3.2 Per Cent. Gain in Earnings for First Half of 1935; Building Room Seen." “Electricity Output Now More Than 7 Ter Cent. Over 1934.” SHOULD GET TOGETHER A fantastic inconsistency is revealed in the follow ing from the Merry-Go-Round Washington column: “All construction projects over $25,000 are placed under the jurisdiction of the PWA ruled by Harold Ick«E. while projects under that figure are turned over o a-new agency—the works progress division, run by Harry Hopkins. "Ickes decided that PWA jobs as in the past, would pay prevailing wages. Hopkins laid down the rule of security" wages. These range from $10 to $04 a month. “In New York City the PWTA and the WPD are now preparing to launch construction projects. On Ickes’ PWA jobs workers will receive prevailing union wages. But on Hopkins' WPD jobs they will be paid a maximum of $85 a month. “In other words, a bricklayer working for the gov ernment on one side of the street will receive a $12-a-day wage, while another doing the same kind of work on the (other side wjll receive a government pay check of $4.85 ner flay.’’ Messrs. Ickes and Hopkins should get together be fore such an inconsistency as above related is put into operation. The public cannot understand a situation such as this unless the two men have divergent opin ions f nd stubbornly, unrelentingly hold to their views. CONSTITUTION AND COTTON The forthcoming battle for the Presidency of the United,States centers, obviously, on two questions: the personal popularity of Franklin D. Roosevelt, unques tioned in this part of the South, and the Constitution. As wv regard the constitution, it centers largely on what effect it has on cotton. ,lhis economic viewpoint has been true in every major crisis or revolution in history, and we are short sighted indeed if we do not recognise that we have been through and are stid in the throes of a great economic revolution. Alabama farmers are already meeting and passing resolutions favoring an amendment to the Constitution In the event the Supreme Court outlaws the AAA, as it sterns more than likely to do. Many other meetings throughput the deep South are scheduled for this very purpose. The farmer is stirred to this constitutional question because he does not wish to relinquish the subsidies he hat received from benefit payments—payments vvhich hrf.rg the price of cotton into “parity” with other com munities. reckoned on a basis of pre-depression values. In the meantime, manufacturers oppose the pro cessing *tatf that makes the AAA payments possible. They^do not, and did not, oppose the Textile Code, which rescued their workers from a kind of slavery. Says the Montgomery Advertiser: “Farmers are de termined to fight to the death the concerted movement of the East, backed by a few*large cotton factors in the South, to force cotton to a price that will bring back economic slavery to the growers.” PERMANENTLY UNEMPLOYED Not so much by the flicker of a hmt has the Presi dent ever admitted it, but the conclusion seems obvious that the United Statea ia faced with the strong probabil ity of supporting a permanently unemployed claae. This class is^composed of the laggards, the incom petents, the unequipped, who cannot keep pace with a , world in which competition for survival is almost as fierce as in the days when prehistoric man was the prey of the saber-toothed tiger. And, oddly enough, our very efforts to relieve dis tress have in large measure encouraged this class. Once on the relief rolls, once the first blush of possible shame at taking the dole is over, thousands of families are con j tent to sit back and assume that the government owes them a living. The relief rolls have in too many in stances destroyed the initiative and the self-respect of citizens who ought to be supporting themselves. Therefore, the plan to do away with the FERA and I to take over its clients into the WPA is a good plan. None will receive direct relief save those who are un | employables, that is, those who are unable to work be cause of obvious mental or physical flailties. Looking to the future, we can count on public works for a long, long time. SCARE OF POLIO Two cases of infantile paralysis have developed in the county and naturally anxious parents are fearful that the disease might spread and cut down one of their children. While the disease is to be feared and shunned, there is no cause for hysteria. Only two cases in Cleveland’s | population of 55,000 is something to be grateful for. We are assured by physicians that it is a seasonable disease and that the season is about over. Already the number of cases in the state is declining. The number of deaths has been less than a dozen and records reveal that fifty per cent of the children who have had the disease are not afflicted in body after they recover. Because of the prevalence of an unusual number of cases in the state this summer, it is but natural that parents should feel some concern. Precautionary meas ures should be used to prevent its spread. We have had cases heretofore in Cleveland county without the public learning of its existence. School Superintendent J. H. Grigg remarked the other night that there was a case in a rural school several years ago about which he did nont hear until the development of a case here last week. Which goes to prove that we have had a case before and did not become alarmed, so why get frantic now and allow two cases to break up our educational economic, religious and social life.

Jump •rnmvmrmernm BY h fort Newton WINNING OUT Hear now a great story, a true •tory, a atory no one can forget— it put faith, fortitude and fire into our hearts. Oeorge Matheson, a brilliant young atudent, with the honorable ambition of a scholar, suddenly becomes blind. Who can enter his enter into his feel ing aa he came home from the specialist who told him the terrible news? At once he of fer* the young lady, to whom heDr. J. F. Newton was engaged, her freedom, and she, unwilling to be tied to a blind man for the rest of her life, accepts her freedom at his hand* and goes her way. The horror of a great, loneliness falls up him—no home, no wife, no children for him. He stumbles up the garden path, feels for his study door, then for his desk, sinks into his chair and weeps. The love of woman had let him go—let him down, in fact—but In the depths of despair he felt in his heart the soft, sure tug of a Love that will not let go; will not let him fall into bitterness. Slowly his fingers grope for a writing-pad, then for a pen. Swift ly he wrote—the words came of their own accord, as if dicatated by Some one else, and he set* down the song a* It sings In his heart. The whole poem was written as It now stands, save for one word which he altered later, and It was all done in ten minutes. It Is a l hymn the world will sing till the lend of time "O Love that wilt not let me go I rest my weary soul In Thee." ; Of the after years everyone knows the story—the famous blind preach ! or whom multitudes flocked to heat [whenever he preached. He won admiration and affection from far and near, and deserved it. Among his widely-known books was one called "The Potrait of Christ"—a portrait of an unseen Face painted by a blind man! And by his eloquence he moved men to goodness, as the wind sways the clouds. By the magic of faith he won out—not in dumb resignation, but in triumphant acceptance, turning darkness into light!
