Wear Your Old Clothes.

Forward the Shabby Genteel

Down with overalls--wear your old
clothes and let your patches be your
badges Of honor.
Rallying around these battle cries,
industrial legislators of the senate
and house of representatives of the
Goodyear Tire Il Rubber Company's
industrial assembly at Akron, Ohio,
have voiced their disapproval of over
all clubs as a means of combating
the high cost Of clothing. By almost
unanimous vote in both houses they
have ruled against such clubs among
the $4,000 Goodyear employees and
are threatening the blue jean battal-
ion with future disaster. by advocat-
ing the wearing of old clothing, no
matter how shabby it may be.
Overall clubs are silly fads that
will not last long" announce the in
dustrial legislators "They represent
the heighth of folly and inconsistency.
The ideal isn't practical Taboo the
overall clubs and stick to your old
clothes. That's the best way to bring
down prices"
And practically all Goodyearites
are following their advice. They
have stopped buying clothes and are
wearing old ones.

To the Editor Of the EUening Capital:
In the Evening Capital Of July IL

would promote a ''shop-at-home
spirit among Annapolitans- From the
merchants point OF yiew. the hope Is
instiaed. bur will the Increased rates

chant who wins and printers Ink IS

other hand, the city merchants By

From the cry that arises from time

Tobacco Growers Should Fight
Against Lower Prices, Says II. c.
Barrett, OF Farmers Union OF
United States

10 the Editor of the EUening Capital
Below is a copy of an article printed
in the Progressive Farmer. published
at Raleigh. n. c., issue of July 3, 1920
which we believe would be of interest
10 your readers. We trust that you
will see your way to publish same.
THE people of North Carolina and
Virginia were well pleased with prices
on last years crops, particularly their
tobacco crop, which averaged SO cents,
while Kentucky farmers were very
much displeasod with prices. AL
though the hurley district averaged
IS cents, while in South Carolina the
State average for tobacco was only 20
cents and fraction, it seems for the
sales of other States that the South
Carolina people had a right 20 kick.
1.-The Farmers Union members are
operating several loose sales ware
houses in North Carolina and Virginia,
and are growing stronger in South
Carolina and viii keep a closer watch
on the South Carolina crop this year
rs we'll as the Virginia and North
Carolina crops AS farmers organi-
zation looking out for the interests of
the people, we cannot see the justice
in such great difference in prices.
The people will not submit quietly,
and let go unnoticod such gross dis
crimination.
"All the writer's are talking down
prices: the facts do not seem to JUS
tify such talk. With such firms of

Company declaring $50 per cent. di-
vidends and r. ]. Reynolds 200 per

sources. il viii he hard thing to
force the farmer to take little or moth
ing for his tobacco. and we believe
The companies might better consider

cents on the pound more to raise it
than last year, SO prices should be
better in the face of such tremendous

FRIDAY. JULY ls. 1920.
HARDING's "FRONT PORCH"
CAMPAIGN

After his nomination at chi
cago, Senator Harding, hailed as
"a second Mckinley" announced
that he would stay on his front
porch at Marion. Ohio, during
the campaign, and do his talking
there. However, il is likely that
he will be forced to abandon his
projected front porch" program
because of the prospective ag-
gressive campaign to be waged
by his Democratic opponent
With two live wires like Cox and
Roosevelt penetrating the coun-
try in every direction. and par
ticularly in Ohio, the Mahomet
who stayed at home and expect
ed the mountain TO travel TO his
front door might as well give up
the political ghost now instead OF
hanging on until November. Be
cause the Republican nominee OF
1916 made fatal error by invad-
ing California does not argue that
the home campaign is the wiser
plan. Hiram Johnson was dis
liked by the Old Guard OF his
state because of his desertion OF
the party in 1912. He was snub-
bed and ignored by the Repub-
lican leaders, who entangled
Hughes in their local quarrel to
such an extent that it cost him
the electoral votes of California
and thus gave Wilson the neces-
sary majority.
OF course, it was a technical
blunder for Hughes to have en-
tered the state, in view of the
factional differences that, how
ever, is chargeable to the cam
paign managers. 1t would be
equally as foolish for Harding to
allow Cox to get close to the vot-
ers, while he ignored them. Be
sides, Harding is not well known.
Outside his own state he IS al
most a nonentity The public IS
curious concerning his personal
ity and wants to take his mea-
sure. Particularly. is this true
of the West. Harding IS, of
course, familiar figure al
Washington, and as chairman OF
the Republican national conVen-
ton four years ago the politi-
clans came into contact with him,
but to the rank-and-file people he
is an unknown quantity, with
nothing notable in his political
career to make an impress on the
country,
California is said to be urging
Cox TO open his campaign in that
state; that the local Democrats
are certain he can carry it in
November, Senator Phelan is .
candidate for reelection and is in.
need OF outside help. Cox is call
ed upon to help Phelan. Hard
ing viii have to abandon his
comfortable porch campaign pro-
gram; of that there is no doubt.
