THE UNEMPLOYED AND THE 'soAKABLE'

More than 100000 persons are said to be UNI
employed. In unemployment there has been no sub.
stantial decrease. The NRA having been destroyed
by what Mr. Mencken calls the Dread Schechtcr
decision, stocks have gone up and there is return
of prosperity-in prosperous circles.
The condition of established trades and indus
tries is improving. The merchant whose store has
survived and the manufacturer who has not failed
are having better business.
No new factories are being built, seldom is a new
store opened The market for land is dead. The
banks are glutted with deposits that they cannot
lend. We have in mind a little bank in a country
town having deposits twenty times its capital that
has had to pass its dividends because it cannot find
desirable loans except to government Most of the
new farms opened subsidized by government.
The ranks of the unemployed are not broken,
not reduced, because stores new shops, new
factories are not opened, not built. Construction
is usually led by men of force and means and rich
men do not enjoy being soaked These are days
in which persons whose creditors have not lost by
their failure are under suspicion 1t is not preached
outright, but it is the doctrine that runs through
and dominates this government of ours.
Where the men successful in private life
holding offices in public service? The News and
Courier guesses that in Charleston is, this day,
more idle capital than has been in years. Federal
taxes not TO be increased, "they say, but the
hard-headed men who see the governments debt
piing high Caesars Head are not convinced
The time has come the president says, for pr1-
vate employers to put men to work.
| Private employers are in disgrace. Government
has "sent them to coventry" The people have been
taught (millions of dollars have been spent IN the
teachng) that all persons engaged in the electro
power business, for example, are robbers and trail
tors.

Reports to The Times-NeWs from the

losses have been sustained by our farmers
in the destruction of late crops by the

year of success for the farmers in produc-

of some products remain low. That is the

menace to certain Wall Street

The story behind this compla-

been more lenient than Wall

lenient than many warm friends
of the securities and stock marke,

ing if Mr.. Clayton realizes that
it is just about 1876 million times

population of 126,00,000.
Naturally Mr.. Clayton do doubt

just call his attention to the revo-
luton in France which cost the

There is a doubt in the minds
of some as to the validity of 2lst
(repeal amendment) on the
grounds that there is no provision
for changing the Constitution by
mutilation or abridgment.
Authority for amending the
Constitution is found in Article
Five where it plainly says amend
ments to this Constitution not
from or in. All other amendments
have been supplementary and
have strengthened the Constitu-
ton by increasing its power and
scope.
1t is evident that the men who
drew up this wonderful document
expected that the original parts
of the Constitution with its SUBJ
sequent amendments would stand
or fall as a whole.
Be this as it may, the repeal
Of the 18th amendment has es-
tablished a dangerous precedent
and irreparably weakened our
form of government.
