DOING OUR BIT.

We are having just as tough a
time as you are brother. 1t costs
money to run a newspaper, and there
isn't much coming in these days
Much of our pay is in promises
backed by our faith in the individ-
uals.
But we are making the best of the
situation. We are not growing or
grabbing or complaining. We are
doing our best to make the world
seem brighter for our readers.
If we point out defects in our sys-
TEN of government, if we censure
public officials who are obviously
failing in the tasks assigned to them,
it is not that we have a chip on our
shoulder, or a knife up our sleeve,
or any other spirit of ill will. 1t is
just our way of doing our share to-
ward moulding public opinion and
convincing the people that we can
do better if we want to do so.
We can improve conditions only
by supporting that which is right
and condemning that which is
wrong, by aiding instead of destroy
ing.
When a doctor discovers a cancer

Our economic life is full of can
GERS today, much of them having
their origin in political incompetence
and dishonesty. When the people
operate these cancers will gradual
ly disappear-and not before.
There is no gold at the end of
the rainbow, just hard work. And
we're doing our share of that work
as we think it should be done.
Smile with us-you'll feel better.

SIMMER REST TIMES

Do you get a summer vacation?
Whatever you say to that, millions
of Americans count on their regular
summer vacation as much as on
three meals a day. They would feel
themselves among the earth's down
trodden, if it was taken away from
them.
If they get too sour about bad
roads, slow railroad trains, or slop-
py cooking on their journeyings,
they might well think of millions of
housewives, broiling over hot stoves,
who never get a vacation from Jen-
uary l to December 81 of any year.
Or let them think of idle workers
who have not had regular employ
ment for several years, and to whom
the prospect of any more lOafing
means the denial of the bright hopes
with which they started life's weary
journey.
People who have a regular job,
and who are able to get away and
afford a rest period at some leafy
camp, some welcoming hotel, or who
can junket around the country on
Jolly motor trip, have reason for
happiness. If they find fault with
minor discomforts, they deserve
worse trials.
They should not blow in all their
money Better leave some to spend
on the comforts they will desire
when they get back to Milford or
Delaware. Also the folks who can
dig up the money for a costly out
ing, but can't find any of the same
10 pay their bills to faithful mer-
chants at home, will win no popu-
larity contests, and some of them
seem entitled to a vacation in some
good Jail.
Some see as much with their pene-
trating little eyes on a 80 mile jour
ney from home, as others would on
a trip to Europe. Also the chief
benefit of summer rest, is the abilz |
ity to return with renewed zest for
your job. If that will be missing, |
better omit the vacation this year.

TOO MUCH ALARM.

There's entirely too much "view-
ing with alarm" and not enough
pointing with pride" in this coun-
try. Too many people running
around with long faces and dropping
mouths. Too many ready to believe
that the republic is either going to
die or blow up. The fact is, it is not
going to do either. Here in our own
community we have entirely too
many gloom spreaders, and other
towns ale in the same fix. These

. EXPERTS PLAY IT 81
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
(Secretary, American BriGlge Leaglle
RRDGE

(Secretary, American Bridge League)
I am wondering II my readers give
sufficient thought and consideration
to the timing factor" We know that
the timing factor plays an important
part in football, baseball and tennis,
and it plays just as important a part
in bridge.
A hand which explains this timing
factor in a sample manner Is given
below. In addition to the timing fac
tor element, the hand is also interest,"
ing from a bidding angle.
The Bidding
The hand was played in the recent
national championship tournament at
Asbury Park, N. j. The majority Of
East and West players secured the
contract for game In hearts. How
ever, the bidding at one table was
rather interesting and was as follows:
South and West passed. North
made a weak third bid OF one club.
East overcalled with one heart. South
bid one spade and West jumped to
three hearts
North had made an original psychic
opening bid and decided, as he was
lot vulnerable, to carry his psychic
through. He jumped the contract to
four spades. East felt that North and
South were trying to deprive him OF a
game, SO went to five hearts, which
South doubled.
The Play
It was South's opening lead, and
when contract is being played at
tive or six, we know that the opening
lead determines the success or failure
of the contract.
The Bismarck tribune., 1933-08-24

Let us take the suits in turll-South
mad bid spades and this suit had been
supported by North. However, in
spite Of the spade bid, East had gone
to five hearts, therefore the spades
should be a bad lead.
Naturally South could not open
rearts. To open diamonds looked as
though he were sacrificing trick,
therefore South should reason as fol-
lows:
His partner may hold the ace Of
clubs and the ace of spades. How
ever, supposing that he does hold the
ace Of spades and only the queen and
ten OF clubs-then If spade is open
cd his partners ace will be knocked
out and the declarer will probably
make his contract, while if a club is
opened, he can establish q club trick,

LEADING U. S. ARTISTS
TO EXHIBIT WORK AT
THE JOHN REED CLUB
By J. b.


THAT the capitalist structure is
1 falling apart to its last brick is
made more evident every day. This
time it is the artists who are DESERT
ing it. The artists are turning to
the class struggle for inspiration.
Capitalism can offer them neither
market nor subject-matter for
their work. True, the beginning is
as yet unclear as to revolutionary
content, but the number oil out
standing artists shifting to the side
of the working class is great.
THE John Reed Club has taken
the lead in this movement by or
gaming an exhibition-"TheS Social
Viewpoint in Art"-which extern
sively embraces all the phases OF
this change. This exhibition which
opens in the headquarters of the
club, $50 Sixth Ave, Thursday eve
ming, Jan. 26, and continues to
Feb. 16, will make art history. Lead
ing figures in the art world such as
Orozco, Thomas Benton, Boardman
Robinson and many others will ex-
hibit their work. Prominent critics
representing the revolutionary
viewpoint on the one hand, and the
unclear, though sympathetic social
viewpoint on the other, will speak
on the opening night

THE following first-hand ac-
count of conditions of terror in
TallapOOsa county, where four
weeks ago a reign Of murder and
brutality was inaugurated by the
white landlords and their Sher-
ifs gangs, is written by white
nOrtherner, who travelled
through the section last week..
MASS murder of defenseless peo-
wi pie is brewing in sections of
Tallapoosa and Macon counties.
White DULLES, including Grady
Daniel, Will Hill, and many others,
are stopping people on the roads
and threatening to kill all Negroes.
Sheriff Ross Riley, of Macon
County, is freely quoted as stating
that he will "kill men, women and
children to break up this mess (the
Share Choppers Union) if anything
more happens like the past troub-
le." The murders in December
were caused by white officers tax
ing the little remaining food and
means of living from various fami-
lies.
Ku Klux Khan leaflets, bearing
the address of Box 651 Birming-
ham, have been circulated in the
section. These handbills threaten
Negroes interested in their consti-
tutional right of social equality or
in the Communist Party. The
Communist Party, under the law,
enjoys every right of any other
political party.
Gangs riding in high powered
cars have prowled over wide areas
of the counties breaking into
homes, stealing guns and ammuni-
ton and beating up women and
children. A careful survey shows
that hundreds If not thousands OF
dollars worth of weapons and am
munition has been conflScated by
the providers. Eye witnesses tell
of seeing guns stolen from Negro
farmers and given to members OF
the mob. No Negro is allowed to
buy ammunition today. During the
series of raids conducted by the
white sheriffs' gangs, over 80
homes, it is estimated, were pill
LACED. Trunks were broken open,
lofts searched and children threat
ened,

THE ivory tower of the bourgeois
L aestheticians was broken into
and fumigated by Michael Gold,
revolutionary writer, when he de-
bated in Engineering Auditorium
recently with Ernest Boyd on the
topic, 1.-The MarXist Approach to
Literature Is the Only Scientific
One" Gold took the affirmative.
The debate turned into an excel
lently formulated lecture by Gold,
and into cheap, intellectual aero
battles on the part of Boyd, who
is leading bourgeois literary crit
ic and one of the editors OF the
American Spectator.
At the few points at which Boyd
consented to cross intellectual
swords with Gold. Boyd revealed
not only the bankruptcy of bour-
geois literary criticism which he
upholds and practices but his own
inability or refusal to even attempt
to understand the basic principles
which umderlie any scientific APP
proacn to the study of literature;
principles which derive from Marx
ism and which flow back to it.
DECAY OF BOURGEOIS
: LITERATURE
Gold led up to his exposition Of
MARKHAM criticism by pointing to
the chaos stalking the ranks OF the
bourgeois literature; showed how
some, like T. S. Eliot, have turned
to forms of Catholicism, British
Royalisrn and Classicism; how
others like Hemingway and Pound
are trying to escape the problems
of their time by an apotheosis Of
exilism, bull-fights and Montpar-
nassian yerslibre; how still others
like Allen Tate and the late Hart
Crane, who recently committed
suicide, turned to the shadowy
labyrinths of a dead metaphysics;
how some like Robinson Jeffers
seek life in a Qualification of death
or like Archibald MacLeish look to
Wall st. for leadership for the
American people.
Gold then showed the effects OF
the present economic crisis on va
rious strata of the intelligentsia
and named the growing list of
noted writers, including Dresser,
Dos Passes, Sherwood Anderson,
Malcolm Crowley, Waldo Frank,
Lincoln SteffenS and q host OF
others, who have allied themselves
with the revolutionary movement.
THE increasing number OF writers
and artists who are supporting
the revolutionary workers is not an
accidental offshoot of the econom-
ic crisis, Gold pointed out, but is
a direct reflection of the cultural
crisis, which was practicable at the
inception of the economic crisis.
just as world events have proved
that the MARKHAM way out is the
only way out Of the chaos of capt.
talist economics, these events have
spontaneously proved to ever
growing segments of the intelli-
gentsia that the MARKHAM approach
to literature is the only way out of
the chaos of capitalist literary
criticism, Gold showed.
Only by the use of Marxist cri-
terra can literature be scientifically
analysed. interpreted and evaluat-
ed, Gold pointed out, and, after
admitting that all literary criticism
is conditioned by a class bias,
proved that only the world view
and methodology Of the revolution

tical materialism, can discover OBJ

rebuttal, didn't take the trouble
to deny Boyd's calumny against
revolutionary writer's, but did show
that not only could proletarian lit
erature be produced in capitalist
countries, but that il WI
