HENRY'S CRADY'S ADVICE

Henry w. Grady, the great southern
editor and orator, died 43 years ago, but
the advice he gave to the farmers of his
native Georgia and the south many years
ago. is as sound today as it was when it
was uttered.
One particular gem of his which has
been often republished is of particular
significance just now. 1t applies equally
to north or south, provided the principal
money crop of any particular section be
substituted for cotton" where it occurs
in the original. Grady said:
'When every farmer in the south shall
eat bread from his own fields and meat
from his own pastures, and disturbed by
no creditor and enslaved by no debt, shall
sit among his teeming gardens and or
chards and vineyards and diaries and
barnyards, pitching his crops in his own
wisdom and growing them in independence,
making cotton his clean surplus and selling
it in his own time and in his chosen mar
ket and not at masters bidding-getting
his pay in cash and not in a receipted
mortgage that discharges his debt but does
not restore his freedom--then shall be
breaking the fullness of our day"

ONE MURDER IN YEAR

According to a report recently given
out, the city of Quebec, with population
of approximately 100000, was the scene
of only one murder in whole year.
In the U0nited States there are on an
average approximately 10 murders each
year out of each 100000 of population
while in the cities of Memphis, Jackson
vile and Birmingham the annual rate dur
ing the past 10 years has averaged nearly
60 murders per 100000 or 60 times that of
Quebec.
In spite of the earnest efforts of
sociologists and publicists to determine the
cause and suggest a remedy for the de-
plorable crime situation, no appreciate
Roadway has been made in that direc-
ton.
Attempts to explain crime as an after
math of the war fall flat when it is con-
sidered that the homicide rate in England,
Canada Australia, South Africa, New
Zealand and other English-speaking coun-
tries averages only about one-tenth that of
the United States, yet all these were in the
war from beginning to end and suffered
from it's effects in every way UNNECESSARILY
more than we did.
It is declared by recent writer that
only one murderer out of 100 is executed
in New York, while 70 out of 100 are
hanged in London. This may have some
thing to do with our high murder rate.

THE NEW CABINET

With March little more than month
away, the personnel of the Roosevelt
cabinet, with the exception of the post
master general, is still as much in the dark
as ever. Guesses of all kinds are being
made public, but one mans guess is seem
ingly as good as another's. The sugges-
ton that Senator Carter Glass of Virginia,
may be named as secretary of the treasury,
seems to find favor in many quarters.
Senator Glass seems to be quite popular
with Wall Street, yet he is not regarded as
primarily Wall Street representative.
Another rumor to which much
credence rs given is the appointment of
Senator Walsh of Montana, as attorney
general.
One thing is certain and that is that
the cabinet as finally selected will be
chosen from the standpoint of real ability
and not from the standpoint of political
expedience.
When Franklin D. Roosevelt becomes
president of the United States, the country
will have as its leader real and not a
phantom personality. And his cabinet will
be exactly like him.
