Communists Knocking Everybody

"Ah, the Communists knocking everybody" This
remark overheard recently and it was made by some
farmers who really seriously concerned with change of
things.
They made this remark somewhat disgustedy and as
explanation why they would not like to have anything do
with the 'reds."
Now shall not discuss whether this statement is
raec not We agree that Communists perhaps the
most dissatisfied people alive Ask for explanation and
find that they have the peculiar idea that there moth
ing in this world TOO GOOD for workers and farmers be-
workers and farmers the to create all the
wealth there is earth.
They are really the darndes people can meet they
are not satisfied with little here and little there they
want that those who work. and only those get everything
The next terrible thing about these Reds is the fact that
they believe they know the way to get what they want
and they convinced that their way is the ONLY way
It may really sound little presumptious when people
think that they know it ALL But Communist is not fell
low full of vanity who prides himself thinking that he knows
it ALL They really people you talk to; they willing
to listen to arguments and their quite ready to defend
their ideas and theories against opponents And because
they sincerely believe that their way the only possible way
for better world they develop aggressveness not many
other people possess
And apparently it is this aggressveness their frank
and direct of going about things that some people dis
like There people who don't want to be disturbed
people who don't want to things as they are for fear
that their conscience might compel them to do something
make things better They look at the good side of things

today, the hordes of Fascism are
fast developing.
Stronger organization is our
lesson" Hardersen shouted, ap-
pealing to the farmers to join the
United Farmer Lseague or the
Holiday Association.
"The next time, ten times the
number of farmers who turned out
today must gather and take up the
challenge" he said.
Stop Hovdy Eviction
It was pointed out by some farm
ers that on May IL, William Hass.
a big landowner at Outlook, was
going to proceed to forcefully evict
the Hovdy family from the place
that they homesteaded.
"Hass does not need this farm.
He already has more land than he
can handle. But the wife and chill
dren of the farmer Hovdv will be
without any means of existence il
the farm is taken away from
them," it was explained.
"Wives and children have the
first mortgage. See to it that this
slogan is put into reality and the
family is not being evicted," one
speaker appealed. Speakers for the
U.F.L. and Holiday promised to
rally all members Of their organi-
zation and other farmers for the
Hovdv eviction.

and when they confronted with something bad they do
like the ostrich does they hide their heads in the sand
Then the Communists along and disturb this good
fellow Without even so much asking him they show him
and all others they reach what really is the matter with
this country They give facts to the hunger and starva
on they show under what miserable conditions people have
&c work and i've they show oppression and exploitation in
their most cruel forms and they point out WHY this
and why it is allowed to continue to exist
Now those things not pleasant and are not liked bv
people who don't want to be disturbed and especially not by
the very who have great interest in the continuation
of the present system for this system allows them huge
profits, big fortunes and power
Since such people can be found in all walks of life it is
not surprising that they all receive some knocks and that If
looks as if the Communists knocking everybody
However those farmers and workers who get acquainted

higher wages against foreclosures and evctons who are

THINK II OVER!

Before Prohibition there were
only about 100000 automobiles
in the whole United States; now
there are more than 25,000,000
High speed has been encouraged;
the fastest road speed allowed by
.aw in 1920 was Is miles an hour;
now there is no limit on modern
open highways
The automobile reached its pres
ent stage of development in a period
during which sobriety was the rule.
1t is perfect nonsence to say, as
the "wets" have contended that
there was more drinking under
Prohibition than before. Every
body who thinks staight knows
that is not true. But there is a
great number of motorists who
have yet to learn that even legal
booze and automobiles don't mix.
New Jersey has had to suspend
more driving licenses for driving
while intoxicated in the past
month, than in several years.
The only way a motor-car can
be driven with complete safety to
the driver, the occupants of the
car and any others who happen tc
be on the road, is by a driver who
has not had a drink of liquor for
the past twenty-four hours.

THE MODERN SMALL HOME

The small home of the future
will be a very different sort Of a
place than that of the past. 1t
will offer, at a very moderate price,
advantages, conveniences and COM
forts that are unknown even in the
mansions of another time. 1t will
be more attractive to the eye, and
offer infinitely greater possibilities
for originality in design and treat
ment. And, most important of
all perhaps, it will provide the
maximum of protection against
fire, tornadoes, hurricanes and
other destructive elements.
The detectives to be attained in
the modern home, are low first
cost, low depreciation, low main
tenance and longtime economy.
And for three and four or. five

embracing all these features. may
be had.

there is going to be a residential

DOUGFITON'S APPOINTMENT

News that Farmer" Bob Dough-
ton, of the Ninth North Carolina
Congressional district, is to resign
from the craftsmanship of the pow
erful Ways and Means Committee
at the end of the next congressional
session to become a member Of the
Tariff Commission will be received
with tremendous interest through
out the United States.
In the first place, the Ways
and Means Committee is a mighty
important group in Congress and
the need of a steady and sensible
leader for that group is one of the
most pressing i'll the country.
The loss of Doughton from that
post will be keenly felt, however
capable his successor may be.
On the other hand, the genial
North Carolinian has made a study
of tariffs and kindred subjects for
so long that he should be welcom-
ed by the Tariff Commission as
one who can assure it of wise de-
cisions at a period when wisdom is
most earnestly needed.
Congressman Doughton has long
been recognized for several char
acteristicsvunswerving honesty,
sound and constructive judgment
on legislative matters, and a pro-
found regard for far play in gov
eminent of the same type that is
manifested in the best sports.
He's a man who will be valuable
anywhere and likewise a man who
will be missed from any position
he is taken.-Winston-Salem Jour

THIS WILL NEED REGULA-

1t seems to us that there is A
great deal to be said for the pro-
posal which is under consideration
at Washington, to merge all the
lines of communication, which in
clude radio, telegraph and tele-
phone, into one gigantic corpora
ton, under complete Federal super
vision. Nobody will deny that it
is a nuisance to have two telephone
companies, two or three differen,
telegraph companies, and so on
But SO long as they are under pri-
vate control, the danger of a
monopoly is that it will take adj
vantage of its exclusive opportuni-
tyto increase rates and reduce tho
quality of service.
A monopoly must be under such
Government discipline that the in
terest of the public shall not suf-
fer. Whether or lot the Govern
ment ought to own, or to operate
these services, is a matter of opin'
ion, on which there is violent diver
gence. There are some govern
menr-operated telephone systems
as in Great Britain and Italy, that
are highly efficient. There arr
other government-oPerated sys'

which are highly inefficient. But
there can be no difference of opin.
ion on the need for Government
