THAT DESIRE
TO CORRECT
THINGS THAT ARE.

A desire arises in the heart of
nan to CORRECT things. He
thinks long and hard on a subject.
Presently, he believes that unless
this or thgt is done, the world
viii come to an end.
That probably explains the rea-
son why some men join the XII
Klux Khan. Probably they did
not stoo n think that only CONSTI
TUTED LAW has the legal right
to interfere with individual con.
duet
Democracy ideally is condition
in which the individuals conduct
is interferred with as little as pos
sible by outside forces.
Democracy dies at the roots
when personal dislikes or individ-
ual prejudiees are compulsorily
grated onto 0he public at large.
The more intense you are about
the things you believe or the way
you behave, the more you win be
prompted to abolish those who
differ with you. So claims Felix
Adler. writing in The World To-
morrow.
While his psychological theory
may not hold true for all of us, II
unquestionably explains the atti-
tude Of many prohibitionists and
blue law advocates in general.
For instance, a person who dis
likes cats easily could be induced
to join a League for Killing Au
Cats.
Many a person is an ardent pro-
hibitonst SIMPLY because. when he
cree sampled whiskey, he disap-
proved Of she taste. Not liking i
himself, he unconsciously formed
. complex" Tor obsession)
against others who really enjoy
their liquor. The rule works sim
ilarly with the Red Nose Gent, who
wants everybody to have booze be-
cause he likes Il himself.
The Society-Against believes at
the bottom of its heart that The
members of the Society-For arc
crazy and that there should be
some way OF abolishing them.
1t is primitive instinct, DR.. Adler
contends, for us to like those who
are like ourselves and to dislike
those who are unlike us. Here you
have the explanation Of race pref
udice and also the cause Of many
VANS.

DO you realize what these figures
mean? Well, here is one of +bs
things they mean. The letter sneal.s
for itself:
Moultr1e, Ga. September "a. 1929
Mr.. E. H. Kahn on:-Answerino
yours of 22nd, our survey of the
hog situation in Georgia shows \
decrease of about So per cent in
available commercial hogs for this
fall and winter as compared with
one year ago.
This situation is, of course a blow
to us, and unless Georgia develops
much heavier production of hogs
this next IL months, 1T will I'M
doubtedly mean that the company
will close down the Moultrie plant.
Yours very truly.
Swift & Company, per H. Nc
DowelL
Mr.. Kalmonia is the ALBANY re-
preventative of Swift & Company
The above letter is in reply to one
he wrote to Manager Mcdowell, of
the Meultrie packing plant, seeking
information as to the hog situation
in the territory from which that
plant draws its supplies. The sit
uation as Mr.. Mcdowell sees it is
set forth in his letter ABOVE.
1t is not letter that was writ
ten for publication, but The Herald
believes the matter it deals with :;
of such vital importance that i
should be shouted from the house
tops in every South Georgia coun-
ty.
Last year hog production in this
section fell off Is per cent. II
Southern Alabama the decline was
even greater. And this year the
! prospect is for further decline of
35 per cent.
This means that every 1,00G
hogs raised in South Georgia in
1921 there were only $50 last year
and there are but 488 this wear.
| Do the Figures mean anything to
| the man who realizes that the fn-
ture agricultural prosperity and the
financial stability Of this section are
| wholly dependent upon making
money crops Of food crops?
Do farmers realize that the priil-
cipal reason why they are Guy
against 1T this year"--why they can
not meet their obligations, but must
enter the next crop wear with old
debts hanging over them-is that
too much dependence is still being
