believe the south to be above re-
proach in its political position
today.
All of which boils down in the
final, analysis to the fact that
Mr.. Ewbank is in one breath
criticising us for having opinions
contrary to his on these ques-
tions, and in the next setting up
his own personal opinion and the
applied opinion of his greatest
thinkers against ours-thus the
question as ne presents it is en-
tirely a matter of opinion VS..
opinion.
To- dispose Of his charges, one
by one:
If we constitute. the Rip
Van Wrinkle Of journalism we do
not stand alone either in the
fald of journalism or out. We
stand, as a matter of fact, with
the majority Of the journalists of
O day, leading OF otherwise.
There are as many men of brains
opposed to the New Deal as fav-
pring it. The chief difference is
largely that those highly favoring
the New Deal are theorists, men
who have never before had ar
opportunity to apply their ideas
to the field of practical politics,
while those opposing. it are large
" the business men Of the ma
ton, men who see things in the
light Of common sense rather
than OF theory. Mr.. Ewbank is
himself well acquainted with the
field of practical politics and he
knows that few theories are per-
feet when applied in a practical
manner.
IF we believe the admins
tration to be radical that belief
is forced by the actions of the
administration. We fail TO see
in what other light the admins
trations efforts to control every
action of business from a polltl-
cal bureau in Washington can be
construed. 1t would take great

COURT DECISION CALLING FOR ASPIRIN

There is economic, political and legal headache
in a decision rendered by New York supreme
court Justice decreeing that an American firm may
recover $4,000 of gold promissory notes given it
by German concern which in the good old pros
perity days Aoated $15,O0O,OOO of gold bonds in
this country. The judgment is for specific per-
formance OF, the contract, and all property owned
by the defaulting corporation is subject to execu-
ton. "a
Germany robbed the United States systematical-
ly and with consummate guile. But it is a puzzle
how United States courts propose to make German
companies pay in sound United States money, when
there is no such thing left. Puzzle out that one!-

The Times-News:
Thanks for the offer Of space
to answer letter of the Hon. r..
w. Ewbank. ,
"Words are like leaves, and
where they most abound,
Little of the fruit of thought
beneath is rarely found"
SO wrote Alexander Pope many
years ago: and so repeat we to-
day. When the letter of Mr..
Ewbank is robbed of its rasping
rhetoric and its pedantic POM
posity it boils down to the fact
that he makes charges as follows :
THAT we are one of the
Rip Van Wrinkles of journalism.
2.-That we believe the admin
istration to be the incubus of
Radicalism.'
3,--That we don't understand
that new forces have entered in
to world history.
4.-That we have not kept up
on our reading of his greatest
thinkers
5.-That we are silent as to
Hopson and the power trust and
its lobbying activities.
6.--That we are not constitu-
tional lawyers and have no right
to express all opinion on what is
or is not constitutional; and that
we are opposed to changes in the
constitution.

The Danger ofDebt

The following paragraphs are from the wri
tings Of Rev. c. H, Spurgeon and were direct
ed by him against degrading debt. They ar,
worthy or careful p~erusal.
Debt is SO degrading that if ]
owed a man a penny. | would
walk 20 miles in the depth of whit.
er 10 pay him, sooner than feel that
| was under obligation. Poverty
is hard but debt is horrible. We
may be poor but yet respectable,
but a man in debt cannot even re-
spect himself. Some people seem
10 like TO owe money; bu ! could
as soon be a cat up a chimney with
a fire alight, or a fox with the
hounds at my heels. An honest
man thinks q purse full OF other
peoples money to be worse than
an empty one. lie cannot bear to
eat orhea peoples cheese. wear 9TH
peoples shirts, and walk about in
other peoples shoes
Show and style and smartness
run away with a mans means, keep
the family poor, and the fathers
nose down on the erindStone.
Men burn the candle at both ends
and say they are unfortunate. Why
do they not put the saddle on the
right horse and say they are extra
VACANT.
Some people who have a dollar
coming will spend four or five on
the strength of it. which does not
belong TO them. Such a person is
both insincere and dishonest. Cut
your coat according to your cloth"
is sound advice; but cutting other
peoples cloth by running into
debt is as thieVing four pence is
to a groat.
Debtors can hardly help being
for they promise pay when
know they cannot, and when they
have made up a lot of false excuS-
es they promise again, and they
lie as fast as a horse can trot.

CRIME

When it comes 10 crime, the
United States has the uneUviabIe
distinction of leading the world by
a wide margin. Each year crime
accounts for the death Of ten peop.
lie out of each 100000 of our pop.
ulaIion-the next country, Greece
is a poor second, with five. In
England, but one out of each 1907
600 dies because of criminal ind
ertakings.
The greatest fight on crime ever
attempted IN this nation is now be-
ing carried on by the Federal gov
ernment-.and that is ole of the
new Federal activities, perhaps
the only one. which meets with
unqualified support Of all the Poop
lie. So far, the government has
been extremely successful. Its
agents have eliminated a number
of underworld kinsS-have fright
ened others into hiding Where, IN
MANY cases, local police are corrupt
ed. Federal men are moved cont
inually about from place to place
to insure that they will not be
known to the criminal element
Where local police are often stupid
and inefficient, Federal men are
college-trained, are instructed in
chemistry, balldsfics, al! the sub
ietts that make successful crime
fighters. Where a small force of To-
cal officials could some times be
intimidated, that is impossible with
F. deral men because their number
is not limited. and the criminal who
does bump eff" a Federal agent,
Can look forward to two more inn
mediate!y taking his place. lhe
whole power of the Federal gov
eminent, with its unlimited resour-
ces in money, men and equipment,
is turned loose to effect his capture
and execution.
1t is pleasant to be able to re-
port that all the signs point to
major crime "on the run" in this
country.

You Pay
Who pays the tax bill?

Who pays the tax bill?
Everyone-the dav lab0rer anC
the salaried employee and the
millionaire.
Who pays the bulk Of it?
The niiddle-inc0me group-th0ss
who earn just enough to adequat-
ely support their families, educate
their children, and put a little away
for old age. In other words, the
bulk of it is paid by the average
American citizen.
Why don't the very rich pay
n lost of the tax bill?
Because they Can't-and here is
one of hhe greatest tax fallacies
ever perpetrated on the public. 1t
is easy to say tax the rich'-it's
hard to find the rich to tax. Even
in boom times, they are rare fauna,
and confiscatOry taxes upon their
incomes can paw for but d fraction
Of the cost of government. de-
preston times, they become still
rarer-and almost the whole burd
Ell falls upon the ordinary citizen.
Who would benefit most from tax
reduction?
The reader can easily answer
that for himself. Today about Is
per cent Of the national income
goes to support government, feder-
al, state and. local. If you earn
$4,000 a year, you must pass ap.
proXimatelyS5C0 Of it to the tax
collector. 1t goes when you buy
your groceries, drive your car, pay
your utility bill, take a train trip,
attend a movie, or eat a meal in a
restaurant. The cost of everything
you need and use, everything you
buy, is partly represented by taxes.
Every tax must be passed on TO
the Observation-Disclosures and
middlemen and retailers have no
way of producing money out of
the air,
No matter what the tax, it is
diffused so rapidly all are hit by it
