Corn Tasss1 After the Primaries

Corn Tassel After the Primaries
Corn Tassel was so busy for several
weeks that I saw nothing of him but
an occasional streak of dust and the
chuck chucking of his tin Lizzie. On
the 23rd stopped his whirring mach
inc, in front of my door with a spiked
fence post and accosted him with
"Howdy Corn! How do you feel after
the primaries?" .-. .. e.. .... a.
"By gar" said he, "all ding busted,
then the political bosses backed by the
profteers have again knocked us out"
fright you are" said I, that hoodoo
socialism has again stampeded the people
some farmeds, but did you notice how
the town people fell for it? The other
boogy man of two years ago, disloyalty
and pro-germanism was a boy in COM
parison with it. I would suggest to
the powers that be the proposition Of
Morris tribune., 1920-07-02

When one sees the shabby treatment that is often
given to faithful public officials, wonders why grown
up will still banker for political office. Take the
case of Congressman Volstead; he from a pre-
dominanty agricultural district always been
especially attentive to the farming interests and yet
just at time when he had attained the greatest posi-
ton of usefulness, he is defeated. He from
trct which is overwhelmingly dry in fact the pioneer
dry district of the state and yet after national prohibition
has been accomplished, and just at time when the
of prohibition especially needed his presence in
Washington, he is sacrificed The only criticism that
has been passed upon Mr. Volstead was that he
consderate of the sentiment of his district
appeared to lack initiation yet the very
which he most consderate very interests
that failed him in time of need. When such shabby
treatment is accorded faithful public servants any
wonder that so many high-grade shun politics?

REFUSAL OF CREDIT

Banks are continuing to refuse new
credits and calling upon customers to
reduce their Indebtedness. which was
a policy agreed upon about the first
of May and is a policy designed to
force commodities out of storage and
OIL the market.
That too much money and credit
has been tied UP in stocks of goods
held for increasingly higher prices is
BELIEF of the nations financiers. By
refusing extension of credits the banks
effectively force stocks of goods held
for speculative higher prices to be
sold, and this will to a considerable
extent check the increase in prices
and deflate the volume of currency
and negotiable instruments which are
equivalent to currency.
The economic effect, of course, will
be to increase the value of money,
which is reflected in the decrease of
the selling price of goods.
This will also bring about a. de-
crease in orders to manufacturers,
which will result in manufacturers
laying off. numbers of workmen
Large industries in large cities will
begin curtailing the employment of
workers; this in itself will be a good
thing because too large number Of
workers from the country districts
have gone to the city, abandoning the
nations food production to fewer
hands and menacing the welfare of
the nation seriously.
AS one financial expert puts it:
1.-THE country has simply gone crazy
over speculation and getting rich
quick, and it has become necessary
either to get back to a basis of COM
mon sense, hard work, less .specula-
ton and profiteering, or else face the
certain prospect of all going broke
together"
The medicine the banks are admin
istering to business is bitter, but it's
good.

There is some confusion in the
minds of the people as to the action
taken by the members of the South
Carolina branch of the American Le-
gion at Spartanburg last week in re-
gard to the cash bonuses to be paid
to soldiers who served in the late
war. The headlines in many of the
newspapers made it appear that the
South Carolina branch was unalter-
ably and almost overwhelmingly op-
posed to the bonus plan, whereas the
information brought back by those
who attended the meeting is to !, the
effect that go per cent. of those who
participated in the meeting were in
favor Of the cash bonus, but con-
demned the action Of the national ex-
ecutiye committee in asking congress
for an appropriation for this purpose.
The sentimentspf the meeting was that
the executive committee exceeded its
and placed the members of
the legion in a very embarrassing po-
sition. A majority of the members of
tho South Carolina branch, as we un-
derstand the situation, do not object
to receiving cash bonus, but they do
object to being placed in the attitude
OF approaching congress with hat in
hand and asking for extra pay for
the services they rendered.

AfcADOO OR COX?

/. 1t is a bold man, who forecasts a
political convention, but at this mo-
ment all signs point to either McAdoo
or Cox as the nominee at San Fran
cisco next week. The former has great
ly strengthened his position By the
statement that he was not a
candidate, while it is clear that
the democrats are not oblivious
to the situation in Ohio follow
Ing the Harding nomination, and
there are strong -leanings in the west
and middle-west toward Gov. Cox. In
his statement made public last Sat-
urday in which he says he Is not a
candidate McAdoo does not say he
will refuse the nomination if 1t is
thrust upon him. Whether intentional
ly or not, he leaves the way open for
his nomination, and there are those
who seem to think that he is playing
the game skillfully and adroitiy. Our
first choice is McAdoo. In point Of
ability he stands head and shoulders
above any man in either party, and
! if he is nominated and has as his
mate a strong man west Of
the Mississippi. the only thing that
can bring about his defeat is the
power of the almighty dollar. For
the past several months the great
popular clamor has been for busi-
ness man in the white house and in
McAdoo the coHntry has man who
typifies and personifies the term in Its
full sense and meaning. If big busi-,
ness" is sincere Eve do not refer to
the hide-bound element satiated with
republicanism) it must either support
McAdoo, or deliberately repudiate the
very things for which it has been
clamoring the loudest.
Some folks think Gov. Edwards of
Now Jersey is the choice Of the vets,
.but insiders declare that the choice
Is Governor Cox. Cox is infinitely
stronger than Edwards and has some
thing Of a national reputation. He
has carried his state repeatedly and
probably would carry it for the Dem
Gratis in a presidential election. And
this is something that the San Fran
cisco slate-makers won't overlook.

5 There is some talk of placing the
name of Dan C. Roper before the San
Francisco convention as the vice-pres-
idential nominee. Mr.. Roper is a
South Carolinian, having been born
and reared in Marlboro county. He
is one of McAdoos strongest support
ers, but as McAdoo and Roper both
are southern men it is not likely that
Roper will be given second place If
McAdoo is the nominee. Regardless
of who gets first place on the ticket
the chances are that the second place
will 60 to a western man.

How much longer are the citizens
of Dillon willing to put up with the
T, service they are getting from the
electric light plant? Next to February
weather the local electric light plant
is about the most uncertain thing Of
which we have any knowledge. One
week the line is out Of order; the
next week the reservoir pump Is out
of commission; the week following
the boilers have sprung leak, and
when the boilers are ready for steam
ing there is no coal. Truly, it has be-
come joke. The public has "cussed"
\ until they have become disgusted and
now they are beginning to laugh and
ridicule. But that is not helping mat
ters. 1t is evident that Dillon is fac
ing serious situation. Here are
three thousand people depending on
worn out and absolutely inadequate
plant for water and lights. The plant
itself has given us warning time and
again that it is likely to make its last
gasp any minute and still we continue
to ignore those warnings. What will
be the result if the plant reaches the
point where it refuses TO function?
There are several hundred homes ami
astores and offices that would have to
spend thousands of dollars arranging
for sewerage disposal, putting down
pumps and installing private lighting
devices. This would have to be done
.Neven if the plant could be repaired and
put in operation again in months
time. But it could not be done in a
. months time. 1t will take six or
probably IL months to buy machin-
cry and put in a new plant. In the
meantime what is happening to the
. towns sewerage and water mains?
There is no water to flush them and
they are filling up with all manner
:. o. refuse and there is more money to
: be spent cleaning them out and re-
. storing them to their former state OF
usefulness. With these facts before us
where is the wisdom in shutting our
eyes to the real situation? We are
Hike the ostrich that hides its head
sin the sand when it sees danger ap-
preaching. The town has before it two
propositions, one of which it must ac-
cept sooner or later. One is to sell the
plant to a private corporation or to
issue bonds and purchase new machin'
cry. Council does not care to take the
initiative on either proposition with
out the. advice and consent of the cit
izens, and the only way to present the
matter intelligently is in a mass meet
ing. The citizens. are therefore, ASK
ed to attend a mass meeting at the
court house tonight at s o'clock. 1
is a matter in which every citlzei
should be vitality concerned, and !
would be very gratifying to those in
terested in solving these problems
\ there is large and representative at
at tonight's meeting.
