MEASURE OF A MAN

Forty thousand five hundred and four of his tel-
low citizens have signed bipartisan petition pac-
ing the name of Senator George W. Norris, of Ne
braska in the running for reelection, this after
the 75-years-old statesman honestly sought retire
ment and refused to attempt to return to Washing
ton under his own power.
Not because of his fondness for the New Deal
and his fairness to President of party other
than his own is all to his credit-nor yet for that
President Roosevelt and Big Jim Farley have asked
him to carry on, but by reason of the fact that
fortv-odd thousands of his neighbors without re-
gard TO party affiaton want him to stay on in the
United States Senate, we are especially delighted
that Mr. Norris has reconsidered. There are mighty
few members of that august body who could after
announcing their retirement find 40,504 people to
sign a petition urging them to reconsider.
The general rule when a man of rs years de-
cides to quit his profession or business is for all
hands, and especially those on the make, to get
busy Immediately with the casting of lots for his
raiment. 1t is indeed robust old age that has
come upon Senator Norris, whose case is something
like that of Carter Glass, of Virginia, in that he
belongs to the nation and not to single state or
political party
True, Senator Norris can and does vote for a
Democrat now and then, whereas Senator Glass
finds himself incapable of scratching his ticket; but
in other respects the pair arrive at about the same
position although Mr.. Norris is inherently what is
termed progressive, while Mr.. Glass is eminently
conservative.
Which leads to the rather trte observation that
the clements of character do not change with the
political years and styles. The measure of man
must remain the same until human nature is some
how NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. News.

MENACE TO HEALTH

Greensboro we see, is getting ready to stage an
intensive campaign against the prevalence of VEN
ereal diseases, especially syphilis. By educational
methods and by treatment of diseased persons it is
hoped to mitigate a menace which, for all that it
not openly talked about, is both real and dreadful
Syphilis takes rank chief cause of mortality
with cancer, tuberculosis and pneumonia. 1t dis
abes about five times as many persons annually as
are disabled in automobile accidents. 1t is respon-
sble for more than 10 per cent of all insanity Is
per cent of all diseases of the heart and blood
sells, and for many infant deaths, of which this
state in particular has an outrageous number
Moreover, the victims of syphilis are not by any
means confined to patrons of commercial prostitu-
ton. Dr. Thomas Parran, U. S. Surgeon General
estimates that half of the syphitics in this country
irnocenty infected. This statistic alone should
arouse the nation a whole and the various COM
munities within it to the urgency of stamping out
syphilis as smallpox and yellow fever have been
stamped out.
Greensboro, we see, is planning to do what it can

their opportunity and have had for long WHILE

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE NATIONS GREATEST ASSET

The farms are the greatest source of wealth IN
the United States yet them have, on the WHOLE
been poorly managed and have shown greater de-
terioration than other property. The dust covered
farms of the West and the rain eroded farms OF
the South eloquently tell the story of misuse and
consequent waste.
machine in the factory is expected to last so
long under the best of management. Then 1t must
he supplanted by new and more modern machine
The factory building constantly demands repairs
and in time must be replaced by another building
That may also be said of the residences IN cities
and towns and on the farms.
The soil is the only property man owns that may
he annually improved and grow more valuable, at
the same time increasing the income of the owner
That is generally known by every land owner and
vet American farms annually are the source OF the
nations greatest waste.
Guy A. Cardwell, agricultural and industrial
agent of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company
calls attention to this waste on the farms and sug
gests simple preventive which is especially appll-
cable to the farms of the South. His proposed soil
building program is briefly stated, as follows:
/. The fullest possible use of both summer and
winter legume crops for the purpose OF increasing
the organic matter and nitrogen content of the SOIL
=. Maintenance of plentiful supply of phos-
phorns in the soil by additions of phosphate fer
tilizers.
8. Application of lime to those soils that are
found TO be so acid as to need lime for satisfac-
torv growth of soil-building crops.
If the South had practiced such system for 5O
wears diversfying crops and producing all feed
and food needed on each farm, its conditions today
would be far better than it is. Its fertile lands
would attract home seekers and with them would
come diversified industry.
There is decided movement toward soil conser-
walton in the South and the removal of farmers
from those lands that cannot produce even good
living for them and their farm animals. That
movement must not be permitted to anguish Upon
it depends the future prosperity of the southern
people.-Spartanburg Herald

WASHINGTON.-It has become
w increasingly clear to political
leaders of both major parties
that there is really one big fight
ing issue in this campaign from
a vote-getting Standpoint-gov-
eminent spending.
That doesn't mean that more
vital issues are not involved. 1t
means that the Republicans now
figure their best hope of victory
lies in plugging away on the SUBJ
jectS of extravaganza, waste, def
cts, national debt, and taxes.
1t also means that Democrats,
recognizing this issue as a weak
point in the New Deal armor, will
fight back harder in this field
than in any other.
It. is now possible to simplify
in their essential patterns the
lines of argument the campaign
orators ard propagandists will
take, as fellows:
DEMOCRATIC: Skipper Roose-
welt has brought the nation safe
ly through its great crisis at rela-
lively small cost. The few bill
lions spent by the New Deal are
far outweighed by the big boost
in national income and the swing
back toward prosperity.
It's a good thing to "spend a
million dollars to save 10 mil
lions" Deficit for the current
fiscal year will be $2,097, 900, 900
as compared with $4,764, 900 900
for 1886, showing that the
hump of expenditures has passed
and that the long-diverging curves
of federal receipts and expendi-
lures are definitely beginning to
come together again.
REPUBLICAN: Roosevelt prom

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN THE CAMPAIGN

Hest types of boondoggling as
we'll as to political uses.
The New Deal will have in
creased the national debt to "a
billion dollars by June and will
steer the country into bankruptcy
if given the chance.
Current taxes, meanwhile, are
mostly invisible and afflict the
middle and poorer classes more
seriously than the rich.
THE Republican national COM
l. mittee'S "brain trust" is still
functioning, although moved to
Chicago and although you don't
hear much about it.
The "brain trust" is reported to
have been responsible for the line
in Governor Landon'S Buffalo
speech which said: During the
depression, private industry paid
out over S20,000,000,000 more
than it took in-$20,0 900, 100000
that helped to cushion the depres-
sion and keep employees work.
ing"
That sounded we'll to Landon
and everybody else until some of
the New Deal brain-trusters start
ed pulling it apart. Senator Ben
nett Champ Clark of Missouri
points out that most of the 20
billion "pay-out" was pure book
keeping, including such items as
depreciation, bad debts, deple-
ton, inventory losses and plant
write-down.
The depression was a fine time
to write such things off for in
come tax purposes. From 1929
to 1882 American corporations
reduced their surplus account by
IS billions, mainly by such book
keeping Notwithstanding to
Clark.
In the same period they in
crecced cash and investments by
s. 500, 100000 Thus many corpo-
rations were able to make money
from day to day and still show a
paper net loss for the year.
