NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
PATIENCE is THE WORD

The evidence increases fYom day to day that
business is picking up everywhere, in almost every
line. Producers, whether of foodstuffs and other
farm products, of manufactured goods of all kinds,
are getting better prices for their products More
men, and women are back at work, money is begin

that the upturn has begun are at hand.
Yet we hear many people grumbling, declaring
taat the Presidents recovery program IS failure
because it has not performed miracle overnight.
No sensible person who has stopped TO think about

hack instantly into its former prosperity 1t took
us nearly four years to slide down the hill; we can
not hope to leap back to the top In one bound. we
do not believe it will take four years, or anything
lick it, to get back on Prosperity Peak; but we do
feel sure that it will take more time than some OF
the kickers are willing to allow.
It is hard to be patient when one is up against

A mUzzLED PRESS NOT WANTED

In Italv Germans and Russia there is no such
thing a. freedom of the press Newspapers in those
countries where dictators hold sway either publish
matter that is friendly to the government or tney
do not publish at all. Criticism OF the powers tnat
be is not tolerated Where newspapers are muzzieo
there can be no real freedom of the press OF any
thing else. Under the NRA there was talk 1or
while that newspapers would be licensed, which
proposal was strongly opposed and very properly
so by the publishers The constitution OF the uni
ted States guarantees free press and while there
NAV be few who would approve of governmental
control vast majority of the people want nothing
of the sort-Beaufort News.

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN

Which is better-a job at S. a
day, or property to work with
worth $4,000? l mean such a
property as might enable a man
to be his own boss while he works
on and with it. l know plenty of
men who have such property, and
good many who say they would
rather have the five-dollar job.
Perhaps we may say that this
question presents a fundamental
social issue.
A farmer with a five-thousand
dollar farm ought to make $1,000
a year-not in cash but its equiv
alent in food, fuel, water, COM
fort, and some cash. He can al
ways get cash for eggs, and usu-
ally for several other things. He
can't do it unless his own labor
and a good deal of his wite's goes
into it, of course. He can't do it
with hired labor or tenants.
Maybe there are a few merch-
ants left whose stores and stock
could be appraised for $4,000,
and whose net turnover could be
put at 81, 900 a year.
The fve-dollar a day man would
beat them in income, but how
about the stability of the tenure
of his job? And then-would his
promotions come as fast as the
reasonable growth and improve
ment of the others business? The
| job-man can't make his extra
hours pay. The property man can.
The farmers farm won't fire him
for his religion, or his social sta
tus. or his politics, or the color
of his ties.
1t is one of the ominous por-
tents of the times that men must
have jobs or starve, or depend on
charity. This job-seeking age
seems to despise the poverty of
independence. But men who have
tried both will tell you that free
dom with fatback and corn-pone
is better than slavery with sausage
and lightbread.
If this N.R.A. business converts
America into job-holders and job
seekers, then goodbye to the
dreams of Washington. jefferson,
and Franklin, who were free men
seeking to make others free; to
those of Jackson, Lincoln. and
Wilson, who kept them free; and
to the hopes of humanity that

A LITTLE NEARER TO SOCIALISM

It has been announced that the government will
build a fertilizer factory at Muscle Shoals 1t Is
also going into the power business on large scale
In doing this the government will compete with
private capital which pays taxes on its property to
the federal, state, county and town governments
It does not seem fair to tax private capital and
then 90 into competition with it. This is in line
though with the radical ideas of such men as Sen
ators Wheeler, Norris LaFolette ct ais At the
rate we are travelling we will have Socialist gov

LETTERS TO =
THE EDITOR
NO MATTER HOW The
MATTER GOES

Honest men and women all over
the country are perplexed as to
the Christian attitude to take
when it comes to voting Tor OF
against the 18th Amendment.
No matter how the vote goes
the liquor problem will still be
with us. From the whiskey rebel
lion in George Washlngton's ad-
ministration to the Association
Against the Prohibition Amend
ment in Roosevelt's administra-
ton. makers and distributors OF
alcoholic liquors have opposed
regulation, control. interference,
or abolition as applied to their
business. Whether they win or
lose this particular skirmish their
opposition to any laws curtaillng
their business privileges will con-
tinue.
But let us not be deceived:
Just as they have fought federal
control, so they will fight state
control and federal assistance to
states which wish to eliminate
LIQUOR. If the 18th Amendment Is
repealed it will mean a freer low
Of liquor. That is exactly what
the opponents Of the 18th Amend
ment want to effect.
But alcohol is just as poisonous
and harmful under one law as an
other law. The opponents of the
18th Amendment may change 'the
law governing the relation OF al
cohoi to the government but they
cannot change the nature of alco-
hol. 1t will still be a dehydratlns

Silence is often best. We talk and
say nothing.
Babbling old unsavory tales and
tidbits
In a bright hour, a meeting OF
friend with friend,
Leaves a dark stain like tarnish
spread over silver.
Sit with me here a while, and moth
ing be spoken.
Silence is best. When tongues are
sharpened with anger.
Sheather them like swords. Better
to hold the peace;
Better to turn and go; for words
are like wheat,
Once they are scattered and sown
there's harvest to reckon.
Silence is best when the heart is
. broken and bitter;
Talk is a sting, like salt in an
open wound.
Naught is in passing words for the
weary, the lonely.
Silence is best friend. larry, and
