Friction arose today in the
closing hours of the National
Conference on Temperance and
Prohibition as church leaders
sought to maintain control Of the
drv movement to the exclusion
of organized official dry organ
izations.
The report of the committee
IN ways and means of the confer
ence was adopted only after a
battle between former Repre-
sentative Ketcham of Michigan,
rising to support the official
organizations, and William Up
shaw. presidential nominee of the
Prohibition Party.
Upshaw Wins Point
The conference, meeting in
the Calvary Baptist Church, is
attended by dry church leaders
from practically every State IN
the country.
Ketcham recommended that an
item in the report, urging restora'
ton of enforcement laws IN
States where they have been re-
sealed, be eliminated on the
ground that it encroaches on the
5utv of State organizations. Up
shaw rose to defend the item
and it was retained.
The report organizes the con
ference into the Prohibition Emer.
gency Conference for unified &C,
tion throughout the country to
oreyent ratification of prohibition
repeal and organizes a committee
NJ 100 to function in the States.

that people who make life harder

About two years ago scandal was
unearthed in New York, the pecu-

circumstance that a few grafters

None of the guilty suffered death;
few, l suspect, suffered hardship.
We, who are supposed to worship

RURAL MOVEMENT DIMINISHING

T. T. Nanny of the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies reports that the "back to the farm move
mento accompanying the unemployment crisis Is
almost completed. lie has just returned to Wash
ngton from field survey of fifteen states. Mr..
NANNY saws that the farmward flow of the city
unemployed having rural relatives with whom they
could seek refuge is diminishing Also fewer city
people who have no country relatives are moving
to the farms.
A factor in retarding the rural exodus of per-
sons without farming experience has been the set
ting up OF garden plots for the unemployed by re-
lief agencies in towns and cities Also Mr. Nanny
points out that the greater availability of relief
funds in cities as contrasted with rural communi-
ties has slowed down the farm movement.
Dr. Nanny tells us that there are great Difficult
ties in getting out on the land. For instance a
southern ci1y's relief agencies were confronted
with the problem of caring for one thousand fam
lilies who had had some previous experience. They
could find only five unoccupied homesteads within
radius of fifteen miles of the city. Hence they
decided to set up large garden project in areas
adjacent to the city as an alternative.
There are literally thousands of city people
without farm experience who are trying to subsst
on formerly abandoned lands, in cut-over areas
IN
CARDS this as the most tragic feature of the pres
ent situation. Further the return of young people
and their families to family homesteads has done
much 10 decrease the demand for hired hands on
farms.
All of this shows the difficulties in the
way of a wholesale back-to-the-farm movement.
The county districts are not prepared to care for
all the city unempOyed-just as the urban dis
tricts cannot provide for the thousands of farm
laborers out of work. These factors contribute a
great deal to the wandering, migratory movement
of multtudes Of our young people which is such a
social problem at present. This is what President
Roosevelt is trying to check by his reforestatiOn
program. Also city people cannot become skilled
farmers in few weeks any more than rural labor
ers can rapidly develop into expert mechanics in
industrial centers.
Nevertheless the rural movement of the past
four years has had beneficial effect 1t has tend
ed to partially offset the extraordinary urban trend
which has been going on for generations. 1t has
developed an appreciation of farm life as we'll as
an interest in rural activities. Further, as DR..
Nanny tell us large gardening projects have been
taken up in suburban districts adjacent to many
cities where it found impossible to settle thou
sands of unemployed people on farms. This de-
veopment of gardening and dairying projects may
prove to be the best outcome Of present conditions
It will suburbanze cities and bring urban centers
and rural districts closer together. And this is what
our modern industrial era needs.-AsheviIe Citi-

MERGER OF COUNTIES

Governor BlackwoOds suggestion that there
should be a reduction in the number of counties in
South Carolina will be approved by many voters
throughout the state. Perhaps ajority of tax
payers believe Is or 20 counties, instead of more
than two score would result in needed economy,
but when the proposal is put up to them they will
admit that under present conditions the difficulties
in the way of consolidation are insurmOuntable
In the first place office-holders and those who
hope at some time to hold office would be irrevo-
cably opposed to the merging of counties. That IS
one of the best reasons for such mergers but the
influence of these job-hoders is so powerful that
it would be difficult to override it at the polls.
The Indebtedness of the separate counties is an
other obstacle to consolidation. Counties Of COM
parativey small population are opposed to uniting
with those of greater population because they fear
the power of the larger unit. Large counties oh
ject to merger with counties of less wealth and
population because the taxes might fall heavier
upon the more wealthy county.
In spite of all objections the consolidation pro-
posed by the governor would be wise step. In
the end it would make for better and more eco
nomical government. 1t would make better pubic
institutions possible. The main obstacle in its way
is lack of education on the subject. 1t may take
long time to get the people to consider the plar
without prejudice but eventually these mergers vii
be made.-Spartanburg Is. c. Herald

CATERING TO DRUNKARDS

Give us beer and keep conventions in okla

1t NAV be the purpose of some convention dele
gates even with prohibition We have had some
pretty moist conventions IN Oklahoma. But to say
that the only way to retain conventions IN ms
state is to egaze the sale of beer Is equivalent 10
saying that the only reason conventions are neid
is to give the attendants chance to get drunk
If that is the one purpose of conventions, ana II
getting drunk is the sole reason for attending them
then any decent community is fortunate II 1t has
no conventions at all.-Day OkIahoman (Okt}-

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
ENDING A RACKET

A New York legislator has introduced a bill
which would abolish suits to collect damages for
breach of promise to marry. 1t provides that mo
court shall entertain any suit with respect to Z,
contract entered into by virtue Of mutual promise
to marry; and it would seem that every state IN
the Union could proftably copy this proposed law.
As things stand now, most breach Of promise
suits are little better than legal kind of black-
mail.
To be sure the man who promises to marry a
girl and then changes his mind inflicts a grave
physic wound but it is not wound which money
can assuage. The deeper the hurt, the less likely
is the person who has been hurt to take the affair
into court. Thdt most of the time, is left for the
ratketeer' Society as a whole would be better oft
if this racket were abOlshed.-Gastonia On. c.

THE MINISTER TO DENMARK

The appointment of Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen as
minister of the United States to Denmark is a new
thing in American politics. SO was the nomination
of Miss Frances Perkins to be secretary of labor
in the presidents cabinet. This is day of new
things and we may not be surprised when expert
ments are made with women in diplomatic and
governmental positions.
But are these appointments of President RoOse-
welt experiments? There is little cause so to con-
slider Them The experiment probably has been In
the setting aside of such work for men alone and
that experiment on the whole has been far from
successful.
Why not have woman in the cabinet and the
diplomatic field? 1t is to the credit of the United
States that it leads all nations of this age in ac
cordng proper and fair recognition TO women.
True. the appearance of Mrs. Owen in high diplo-
matte circles will be somewhat startling to Europe.
Il is even so 70 the people of the United States
whom she will represent at the capital of Denmark.
The novelty of diplomat will soon wear
off because women are by nature diplomats and
many presidents and kings would have made a
sorry job of their work had they not been guided
TO o large extent by their wives who were silent
partners in the business of government.
An American born woman, Lady Astor, was the
first&of her sex to sit in the British parliament.
That she has met the responsibilities delegated by
her constituents is proved by her repeated election
She is diplomat and stateswoman and her col
leagues know her worth and recognize her ability.
Mrs. Owen and other American women have repre-
sented constituencies in both houses of congress
and who will say that they have not proved as et-
fieent as the average representatives of the other
seX?,
History, ancient and modern, illustrates the
ability of women as rulers and diplomats. Eve
started the business when she wrapped old Adam
around her finger, so to speak, and made him
servant to her will True, she got the old chap and
herself into a peck Of trouble but she was the
family boss and certainly exhibited all the traits
of diplomacy. The daughters of Eve have played
more successful roles. England has had her Eliza
beth her Boadicea and Victoria Russia her Cath
crime; Egypt her Cleopatra Rome the mother Of
the, Gracchi Syria her Zenobia; Austria her Marie
Theresa and France has to her credit a long list
of women who ruled as regents and who were the
eIeverest of diplomats in times when diplomacy was
the real test of ability.
Let no one be disturbed over President Roose-
velt's selection of important positions at
home or abroad. Mrs. Owen, and Miss Perkins will
probably do the work allotted them capably as
those appointees who wear top hats and swallow
tailtcbats-Spartanbur Is. c. Herald.
