The influence Of weekly news-
tsters on public opinion exceeds
that of all other publications in
the coxntry.-Artbur Brisbane.

Morals and ethics, say some smart
business folks, are something you
hear about on Sunday, but you have
to forget about them Monday. "All
right in the pulpit, of course, but
they don't apply when you are buy
ing and selling"
Many men say that if they paid
strict attention to the rules of hon
esty, they would have to quit bust
ness. Some claim it is impossible to
succeed in this world, if you tell the
whole truth and deceive no one.
II should lose orders, if I did not
sometimes hand a rake-off to the
buyer" statesmen have been known
to say.
Possibly a firm or an individual
can win a temporary success by
these excessively clever methods,
but one should not be too confident
that such success will last. The
merchant who sells you inferior
stuff for a good price, without
making it clear that it is inferior,
often makes money for a time. But
some day his customers wake up to
the fact that they are being bunco-
ed. Gradually they disappear, and
patronize old fashioned concern.
that are more anxious to please their
customers than to get rich all at
once.
Similarly the salesman who de-
ponds On rake-offs and handouts.
may be known as a tremendous 60
getter, for i time. But the con-
Germs that permit their buyers to &C
cept such tips, will probably get
loaded up with a lot of inferior
stuff. The accounts sold to such
houses do not appear to be too good
a risk. A trade built up of honest
sales, to buyers whose only concern
Is to get reliable goods at the best
possible price, will last longer. Our
guess is that when you find a con-
Germ that has a substantial business
that lasted through the recent hard
times, it paid some attention to
morals and ethics on days other
than Sunday. That's the kind of
business we do in Salisbury.

PRAIS FOR COOPERATIVE
MANAGEMENT

In a recent speech Chester c.
Davis, Agricultural Adjustment
Administration director, said that
the history of dairy cooperation
shows that the following four main
detectives have been reached:
A1arger share of consumers dol
Jar for the producer; elimination of
unfair and destructive practices in
distribution and processing; deve-
lopment of leadership able to cope
with leaders of agencies with which
a cooperative must deal; extending
to all producers in a given market
the responsibility for doing their
part to maintain stability.
Achievements like these, made
during some of the most trying
years the nation has ever passed
through, show on what a sound
foundation the cooperative move
menr rests. 1t has always been a
stabilizing influence; it will be re-
membered that during the farm
riots of a few months ago the major
co-ops did as much as any agency,
private or official, to bring order
out of chaos. 1t has never been
swayed by giddy theories; instead it

new world of their own creation
being shattered by the refusal of
American parents to cooperate in
providing future taxpayers.
The reason for the decline in the
birthrate is figured by some of the
smart figurers here as a change in
the social value of the child in the
home. In a principally agricultural
country, such as ours was in its
earlier days, every child was an as
set. In an industrial nation, how
ever, with compulsory education
and anti-child-labo laws in force,
children are a liability to the aver
age family. -..
Government economists and the.
orists look at these facts with mixed
feelings. Some of them point to
them as justification for the move
ment to curtail agricultural pro-
duction; some say the remedy will
be to get more people back to the
land. All are agreed that the great
markets of the future will be in
goods for middle-aged and elderly
people, for before long there will be
more people W 40 years old than
under twenty. In agriculture, for
example, one result will be a steady
decline in the demand for milk; in
industry the demands of the future
will be for a higher proportion of
goods appealing to middle-aged
tastes.

1 THANK YOU.

presented in the House of Com
mons.
l don't imagine we will ever
change our system so radically as
to follow the English method, but
I do know hat many people are be-
ginning to recognize the faults in
herent in our way of doing things,
and I look for a gradual elimination
of some of the worst of them.
WISDOM 49,. then and now
l was re-reading some of Benja-
min Franklin's letters the other day.
l was especially impressed by one
that he wrote to an Englishman
who had asked him about .oppor-
tunities in America, back in 1885.
Among other things he warned
people against coming to America
in the expectation of getting a
chance at a lucrative public office
The constitution of Pennsylvania
Franklin pointed out as typical of
the whole, provided hat no public
office should have a salary or stip-
end attached to it large enough to
make anyone want the job for the
sake of the money reward! How
different public affairs are run to-
day.
I have an idea that one way to
cure a lot of the evils of politics
would be to cut all official salaries
to the point where anyone compe-
tent to fill them could make so
much more money doing something
else that he would have to be drag
ooned into taking the office.
SERVICE ... incentive lacking
Public service as a career rather
than as a means of putting money
into ones pocket has not appealed
strongly to the great mass of Amer
lean young men. The national
standard of success has been mea-
sured in dollars instead of in the
social value of the individuals life.
l think there is an increasing
tendency among young men of
high ability to prepare themselves
for Governmental posts, but I see
no signs of any change in the sys-
tenn of throwing all the best men
out when a new party takes charge
of things and filing their places
with those whose chief qualification
is their partisanship.
Arthur Morgan, head of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority, spoke
wisely the other day when he said
that our civil service regulations
are wrong end to. They protect
the holders of unimportant Jobs,
which take no particular compe-
tence to fill, whereas they ought to
protect the important posts, if the
real purpose is to improve the pub
lie service rather than to take care
Of political hangers-on.

TODAY AND
R
BY
FRANK PARKER STocKBRIDGE


. . = dllu OOyS
In my boyhood the most CLAM
orous figure in boyland was Jesse
James, the Missouri bandit. His
exploits in robbing banks and hold
ing up railroad trains were celebrat-
ed in song and story and when Bob
Ford shot him most American BOYS
felt that a hero of romance was
dead. Years later l got to know
his brother, Frank James, who was
a partner in many of bis escapades.
He said there had never been a
minute of his life that he had not
bitterly regretted his youthful sins,
and he deplored especially the bad
effect the example of himself and
his brother had had upon impress
sionable youth. ,
l see signs that something of the
same sort of wrong-headed but
quite understandable hero-worship
may preserve the memory of John
Dillinger. Boys are still boys. They
admire courage and dare-deviltry,
without moralizing much about the
object or the motives of the men
they consider brave" l do not
think modern boys are any worse
than boys were in my youth, or
more easily influenced.
1t IS human nature to regard the
outlaw with admiration. He had
the courage to defy authority, and
every boy In his secret heart wishes
he had the nerve to cut loose from
the restraints which parental and
school discipline impose upon him.
That, I think, is the secret of the
continuing popularity of the story
of Robin Hood, the bandit of Sher-
wood Forest, who after five hundred
Years is still a glamorous figure of
romance.
~DEMAGOGUES In politics
The success of so many irrespon-
slble demagogues in politics is root
ed in the same trait of human ma
ture as admiration for the outlaw.
Folk who don't or can't think very
deeply or reason things out for
themselves, admire the man who
shouts the loudest defiance to the
existing order of things and makes
the most glittering promise Of what
he is going to do for the common
people if he is elected.
That type Of mind attributes the
conservatism of the we'll balanced
to timidity Or to their having been
bought by the interests"
1t makes little difference to many
folk whether their popular hero
ever delivers what he has promised.
1T is. essential for him to keep on
hollering, however. Once he shuts
his mouth his followers turn to
some other fellow who will tell
them what they want to hear.
POLITICS $50. in our system
I look for little improvement in
politics under our present system,
which makes it incumbent upon
leaders to go to the people for re-
election every two or four years,
and keeps them in office for a stat
ed term, no matter how incompet-
|ent or irresponsible they may turn
out to be.
There is a great deal to be said
for the parliamentary system of
government in England, in which
no man holds any important office
having to do with the shaping of
policies for any longer than he has

NEW YORK, September 29.-Twc
major issues were raised today by the

Hearings ended yesterday after
three weeks of testimony by survivors
of the Ward liner that burned on the

Dickerson N. Hoover, chairman OF
the United States Steamboat Inspec-

evidence before reporting to Secretary
Of Commerce Roper.
He said his report would be con-
cerned with the necessity for changes
in regulations, and that a separate
report on the manner in which exist

be prepared by the three local in
