that profiteering existed in Massachu-

posed also a remedy against the pro-

Southern Lumber.

The Souths resources in lumber are
not quite so depleted as are often rep
resented. Southerners may take hope
from an article that appears in the
Southern Lumberman from the pen OF
Mr.. r V. Durham, representative Of
the National Lumber Manufacturers
association.
ern pine will be exhausted In five or
ten years at the present rate of con-
sumption. This is far from the fact.
In North Carolina and Georgia the pine
is growing faster than the mills are
cutting II, Some other states make a
showing nearly as good.
The total OF lumber production in the
South is only very slightly on the de-
crease. It will continue to decline till
II reaches a volume OF seven and one
then, such are the provisions made by
man and nature alike for reforestation,
II will begin to rise till It assumes n
permanent level at something over
eight billions.
We have not used our own very
wisely. but the whole inheritance is
not yet gone. With the advent OF the
Conserva tionists during Mr.. RooseVelt's

The Eight Hour Farm Day.

The enormous talents OF Joe Bailey.
OF Texas are evidently like those OF
some other candidates lately heard from:
they have not found suitable para
mount issue upon which to play, and
so they lead him to storm and thunder
considerably beyond the requirements
OF the occasion
The ex-senator appears TO have taken
up the line OF opposing the eight hour
day, and his argument is touching
one.
you city folks are now complaining
Of the high cost Of living. but II has
only touched the ceiling today; 1t will
reach the sky when the farmers go TO
working eight hours day like they
want to in the cities. or course. at
first the farmer will not know exactly
what TO do with that extra four hours,
but he viii learn. He can learn TO play
as well as any OF you, The best of
them probably will learn to play golf, as
some OF yon do. and the others will
learn to play he'll, as so many folks
have done"
We are glad the candidate considers
that golf will keep a man from going to
the bad, and we think there is a beau
tiful picture contained in his suggcs-
tion Of the happy farmers knocking of
work at four o'clock and golfing over
the COW pasture before supper. Never
theless, we are compelled to believe
that golf is not the only manner in
which the idle farmer can save his
soul. There is town bail, played only
In the country; there are horseshoes,
there is the old swimming hole which
offers opportunity for Improvement as
well as pastime; there is squirrel hunt
ing, fishing, and bullfrog shooting, and
the tin lizzies abound and 1t is al
ways possible merely to sit on the fence
and mediate while fertilizing the acres
around with streams OF tobacco juice.
Farmers work more than eight hours
day in the farming season because
there is plenty Of variety in the work
10 enable them to stand up under it,
and because most of them have a
proprietary interest in the business.
Even the hired hands for the most
part are coming to work their land on
the shares plan. When a man is IL
nancially interested in the labor OF
his hands, all the labor unions this
side Of doomsday Will not prevail against
ten, eleven, and twelve hour day
for him.
But If the great average Of hours is
struck for the whole year. the farmer
does not work so much in excess OF
eight hours a day In the winter time
and on many days Of the farming sea
son, the farmer is freer than any king
to do just what he pleases, When he
has work to do, he does II with his
might; but when he plays, he plays,
and that is not only on Christmas and

The Red Steam Roller.

The puSillanimous spies who have
gone into Russia since the armistice,
with instructions from one allied govern
ment or another to find out the real
inwardness OF the situation, have seen
1T for the most part to report only that
which their governments wanted to
hear. According TO the Commentaries
Of Caesar, People generally believe
that which they wish to believe" The
allied peoples have chosen TO believe
that the soviet institutions at every
instant since their setting up have
been In a parlous state. and sure TO top
pie over in the next instant; and the
official spies have not disabused them
OF this idea.
The world is about as ignorant OF
what goes on in Russia today as II this
were the middle ages, before there
was a telegraph. or even locomotive
train, or even dictionary of Russian.
For government lettering on It's
last legs, the Boshevist estate has
shown wonderful agility as a valetudi-
marian. When Warsaw falls, II Is pos
slble that reports will cease to emanate
from the allied capitals to the effect
that Bolshevism will be a tale OF the
past before another week has gone.
The tale OF what the Bolshevists have
already accomplished In the past twenty
months on the field OF battle reads like
the exploits Of Napoleon come TO life
again. It is more sensational by far
than any campaign or series of cam
paigns that was waged on the famous
Western front.
In the early summer OF 1919 the Boil
shevists. at the head OF a nation that
the allies insisted on regarding as
spent power. pursued their campaign
against Kolchak to victorious con-
clusion. Their total advance toward
the East was OF several thousand
miles.
Last fall the Bolshevists put Denlkine
out OF business. This campaign won
them huge areas in the South. where

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
"THOU SHALT NOT KILL"
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
Copyright, 1920, by The Wheeler Syndicate Inc)

Inc bookish boy who wanted to be a
lawyer and whom you forced into the
grocery business because you had plan
ned for him to carry on the firm. When
you look at him struggling unsuccess-
iuIly along IN an occupation for which
ne mas no aptitude and for which ma
lure never designed him, do you ever
see the ghost of the chief justice you
murdered in him?
And that strange, beautiful brilliant
girl OF yours, with her wonderful gift
of mimicry, who was crazy to go on
the stage, and whom you kept at home
because YOU believed a woman's place
was at the cook stove and washtub.
She's old and worn, and bitter now.
Have you no computations of con-
science when you think of her talent
that you strangled? Do you not know
that you murdered her far more cruelty
than If you had choked her to death in
her cradle?
And stand forth and answer to the
charge of murder in the first degree
willingly, knowingly, with malice afore-
thought, all We who are blankets and
killjoys, who lie in wait TO stab hope
to death with raven Croakngs, who
Stay our self-confidence until our abil-
ity to achieve things perishes of in
anition, who stab TO the heart with
cruel speeches, who poison us with sus-
picons of those we trust and who kill
all that makes life sweet and beauti-
full.
You are murderers all. Repent your
crime. And reform.
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1920-08-11

Are you a murderer?
You'll say you are not.
What, you who are a respectable cit
lien and an upholder of law and order,
commit the foul deed for which low
browed felons are hanged
What, you with your high brow ethical
sense, take a fellow creatures life!
What, you who sicken at the
very sight of a red stain on a ban
dage, dip your hands in human blood
The idea is so preposterous it is
amusing.
Nevertheless, are you a murderer?
You may never have shot a man, or
stabbed woman, or choked child
to death, and yet you may daily kill
tine thing that alone makes life worth
having to those about you. To Stay
the body is not the worst crime you
can commit against an individual 1t
does not take long to die The agony
Is over in few minutes, but the spirit
dies hard, and when you kill that you
have to do 1t by slow torture.
Therefore, | hold that the murderers
who Stay their victims quickly with shot
or knife are million times less cruel
and deserving Of punishment than those
other murderers who break the hearts
and crush the souls of those whose hap
piness lies in their hands, and whom
they doom to suffering through long,
long years.
Thou shalt not kill" is the first Of
the commandments God gave to man
for his guidance but it does not mean
merely that we shall not take human
life. It means that we shall not kill
love, or faith, or hope, or ambition, for
when we do We STAY something far
more precious tl.an life itself.
So | arraign you MI Good Man at
the bar of conscience and ask you
again, are you a murderer?
Have you killed the joy of living in
your home?
When you married your wife was a
gay, high spirited girl bubbllng over
with laughter She sang all day long
just because she was so filled with glad
ness, and because she found the world
so bright and beautiful, and happy
Have you made of her a quiet, sad
faced woman whose eyes know tears
oftener than her lips do smiles? Have
you killed her JOY in living?
When your key rattles in the latch
of an evening when YOU return from
work. does a sudden strained silence
fall upon the house? DO the children
hush their pratte and stop their play d?
Does everyone in the household cringe
