There is no question of the indecency

There is no question Of the indecency
of that affidavit that Congressman
Blanton caused to be printed in the
Congressional Record recently. There
is very little question either that Con-
gressman Blanton is a very disagree
able proposition, politically, especially
to the Republicans. But the facts are
that Congressman Blanton is not
responsible for the Objectionable afh-
davit. He was only responsible for the
publication of it. That the publication
made a stencil is not surprising. After
all, however. how could Blanton have
shown up the things he sought to show
up without publishing the facts? II
took an affidavit like that to let the
country know what kind Of proceed
ure and what kind OF language were
being used in the government printing
office. That congressman should be-
come very wrathy was natural, but
why they should turn their wrath
against B'anton instead OF the
things to which he brought their at
tention seems unreasonable. To be
sure the whole thing was nasty af-
fair: but somehow we are inclined 10
think that congress cannot be very
we'll satisfied with the disposition 1t
has sought to make of 1t.

The outstanding policy of the di-
rectors of American finance is to take
care of all investments in shares, Sc
curities, etc, as they stood before the
world war. There is undOubted dis
position to not only see to it that the
income from past investments retains
its former purchasing power; but that
the purchasing power he increased out
of the proceeds Of the tremendous
profits made during the war period.
Denation, for instance, operated TO
benefit Of previously invested capital,
largely at the expense of commodities
that had not yet been liquidated. Agri-
cultural products bore the largest pro-
portion of the burden. There was too
great an abundance of currency during
the war, it is true, with the result that
the purchasing power Of money was
lessened more than it should have
been. But as between previously in
vested capital and present and future
production of commodities, present and
future production is entitled 10 more
consideration than are pre-war invest
mcnts. The policy of the Federal Re-
serve system, which seeks TO dis
criminatc in favor of the investments
of the past instead of the productive
labor of the future cannot fail TO bring
trouble.

THE DEApLIEsT DISEASE

Cancer is the greatest ally of death.
One woman in 9 and one man in 13
dies with cancer. .
Five other diseases have heavier
death tolls. The reason medical men
consider cancer the deadliest disease
Is because science knows next to moth
ing about it.
Progress Is slow, though DR.. Franz
Kopsck, German scientist, recently has
made startling discoveries which, he
claims, prove that cancer is transmit
ted from Larvae of the earth, carried
by angle worms.
This may prove to be n. red-letter
discovery, but development toward
cure or preventive is bound to be slow.
Meantime, we must increase our vigil
lance. 'A.-.
Cancer is with Us all tie time, eat
ing steadily into the human race, as ii
eats steadily into the individual.

should write these four facts down ir
their brains with ipdelible pencil:
One: Cancer, If discovered in its
very early stages, is durable.
Two: Cancer is not contagious.

they can get at the prevailing prices;
but so long as they have on hand sur
ficient for a few weeks, they are max
ing a show of indifference. It is any
thing to keep from disturbing the mar
ket, and in some cases the spinners
who have surplus are even willing to
share with those who are short. And
of course the gambling exchanges are
being used for all they are worth.
This is obviously the right policy
for the spinner so long as there is so
much cotton in the hands Of weak hold
ers; but what is going to happen later
on cannot be predicted with certainty.
Since it is practically certain that the
spinners are going to have to. curtail
their output at some time during the
year, if necessary it will be better to
do that now while there is so much
cotton in weaker hands than later when
what remains of the crop will be in
stronger Hands. But of course, so long
as cotton can be had at anything like
the present prices, there is no proba-
bility of an actual shut down, because
curtai!ment will be sufficient for the
present.
If it were not for the gambling ex-
changes, so-called trading" in mil
lions of bales of imaginary cotton, II
would be impossible for the spinners
to hold prices down in the present sit
ution; but these gambling exchanges
are here and likely to remain, to the
incalculable cost of the cotton produc-
ers.
There are those who say that the
policy Of the spinners is nothing bu
just and right under the circumstances
that of course they are expected tc
buy cotton as cheaply as they can
Whether this is right or not it is th'
situation as it stands, and about th'
only way for the farmer to meet the
situation to his own advantage i:
through the cooperative marketing as
socations, because it Is quite obvious
that if the raw product were under al
intellegient and firm control as is TIT
manufactured product, there would b'
fairer adjustment Of prices.

In q, recent suit in the Fedora

In a, recent suit in the Federal
court in Charlotte, Hon. John l.. Nc
Laurin was awarded a verdict of S53,-
900 against the Automatic Steam car
buretor company Of Chicago. Mr.. NC
Laurin had bought the rights of Ger
tain southeastern states from the COM
pany under the representation that the
automatic steam carburetor would IN
crease the efficiency of an automobile
at a saving of from 20 to 80 per cent IN
gas. In his complaint he set up that
he had been grossly deceived and that
the contrivance was detriment rather
than an aid to an automobile engine:
He claimed damages IN the amount of
$3.50, 900. A motion for new trial was
denied and the case will go to the Fed
eral court Of appeals.
