NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
ROOSEVELT AND THE RADICALS

Thar. j. a prettv well founded belief that most
80 tho people of this country are conservative at
heart and the feeling is that the undue prominence
80 rho radical Roosevelt following is calculated to
soIidfy them on the other side. Those who hoId
this view do not think now it was smart TO nave
picked for Roosevelt electors in New York the FOL
io,ir, foreipn-born gentlemen, all of whom have
,x,.,.dirply radical recordS-Mr David Dubinsky,
N, Max Zaritski and Mr.. Sidney Hillman. Par
;rorI, il does not seem smart to have put these
,o, an the New Deal ticket as presidential electors
IN upstate districts many miles distant from their
,c,uoI homes in New York City. If Mr.. Farley
sanctioned and sponsored that. he is not very far
sighted.
Naturally. the Republicans, anxious to drive home
thu, point that behind Mr.. Roosevelt are all the
dangerous and un-Amercan elements - naturally
they make the most of it. Republican papers ana
orators in all sections are dwelling upon the pres
ence on the New Deal ticket of the MessrS. Duoh-
sky ZaritSki and Hillman They point out that
these men were born in Russia and Poland, which
is hardly crime but certainly not political asset
They charge that Mr.. DubinSky recently collected
50 900 which was sent to the Communists IN SPAIN
and that the MessrS. Hilman and ZaritSkl are prom
ircnt Socialists which isn't crime either out
makes a rather good talking point. And the ke-
publcanS repeat almost daily that to repudiate
Communist support and still retain these three men
an the ticket as electors is effront to the nte-
gence OF the people.
Altogether the Republicans in their somewhat
irept way are having a grand time with MeSSrS
Dubinsky. Zaritsk and Hillman. They aim to make
their names well but not favorably known in the
country towns, villages and farms Their efforts to
do this have been stimulated no little by the recent
Minnesota development. whereby, with Roosevelt
Farley knowledge consent and support the Demo-
cratic party in that state was deliberately eN-
,ioguished so as to give the Farmcr-Labor party
certainly one of the most radical groups IN the
country and pledged to Mr.. Roosevelt, free
swing.
II may be that the selection of the MeSSrS. Du-
binsky. ZaritSki and Hillman means a large num-
Der of labor voters for Mr.. Roosevelt in the big
cities and it may be that the Farmer-Labor deal
in Minnesota means the eight electoral votes from
that state But if as result of these things the
conservative sentiment of the nation is still further
strengthened against Mr. Roosevelt, 1t may 'urh
ont not 10 have been worth t.-Frank Kent IN

American frontier" is bunk and boSh. In South
Carolina are millions of acres upon which an m
dustrious man can make living, and 1t can be
bought on any kind of terms for FIVE OF ten DOL
lars an acre.
The "farm loan banks" were set up in Wilson
first administration and for what? Why. to aool-
ish tenancy. To multiply and-owning farmers,
What happened? Thousands of farmers mortgaged
homes 70 the banks sent boys and girls TO college
or bought cars.
The World war and its booming prices soon came
EMPLOYING farmers in some cases, labor being
scarce actually bought cars for their share-crop-
pers and tenants to keep them on the land HOW
many of the share-crOpperS and tenants emerged
from their class to be landlords when cotton pick
ers were paid $3.50 hundred?
If government would give to every tenant and
share-cropper forty and a mule, make 1t un-
lawful to mortgage or otherwise convey the forty
acres, or for the farmer to move on them' keep up
the dwelling and outhouSes for him, and give nm
'relief" when he failed to make a living, the ten
ancv and share-cropping problem would be solved
Virtually all other plans have been tried and nave
failed.
There are some tenants and share-croppers' IN

FEDERAL COMPETITION

The Carolina Free Press of Columbia advances
an argument that cannot fail to commend itself to
thoughtful persons in connection with federal COM
petition in the matter of power production.
The Free Press observes that electricity costs
the average family less than So per month and is
getting cheaper all the time. Government costs the
average family more than $40 month and is get
ting more expensive all the time"
Few of the wisdom of the govern
ment jumping into the business of power produc-
ton in competition with private operators. 1t Is
true that the government might further reduce
power rates, but it costs money to produce power
and that means that taxes are going to be in
creased So it seems just of saving the
sumer a small amount and taking more out of his
other pocket
One observer has some timely comment on the
situation and has this question to ask: "How would
the farmers like to have the government fix the
price of cotton at eight cents and operate tax-free
farms with government money in competition with
the Independent cotton growers so as to have
cbeaper clothing? "-Anderson Is. c. Record.

THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN

One of the dangers of presidential
election wear is that national issues ire
uuently overshadow local considerations III
the public mind. with the result that M
adequate study is made of the bases OF the
appeals of candidates for election to coun-
" offices.
This, apparently, is true of the campaign
now well underway. Charges and counter
charges. claims and counter claims are be-
ing made by the presidential candidates
and their supporters with such vehemence
that the minds of voters have been divert
ed almost entirely to the national arena
while comparatively little has been heard
concerning the races upon whose results
largely depends the welfare of the county
for the next two years. There will be no
let-up in the firing along the presidential
front. but The Times-NewS believes that
voters of Henderson county, while MAN.
tanning their interest in the broader cam
paign, should direct their attention in large
part to the battle for votes within their
own immediate governmental unit.
In the opinion of The Times-News, ar
rived at after careful study, it would be
serious mistake if the present Democratic
administration were not reelected. This
conclusion carries no reflection on the SIN
cerity or ability of Republican candidates
or party leaders; it merely is recognition
of the fact that the records Of the mcum-
bentS, particularly that of the three COM
missioners, are such as to commend them
10 taxpayers of the county regardless OF
partisan leanings or reflections III the ma
tional field.
Since it took office six years ago the
board of county commissioners has more
than lived up TO its pledge that 1t would
create no new debt and would manage the
affairs of the county equitably and eco
nomically. Although the countrywide tax
rate has since been reduced from Sl.7O a
500 on a valuation of S29;615,737 to 80
cents a 500 on a valuation more than %
per cent lower, more of the county's obi
cations have been paid off than in any pre-
vious ffteen-year period. In addition a
bond settlement has been completed that
will effect total savings of S1,30O,O00 TO
taxpayers The county now owes approx
mately 50, 800, 900, none of which was con-
tracted by the present administration.
A financial record such as this did not,
of course, just happen. 1t is the result OF
careful attention to detail which, in turn
was made possible by orderly and business
like methods. Most voters are aware OF
this favorable condition, but there un
doubtedly are many who are not familiar
with the extent of the progress made dur
ing even the most trying years. Their in
spection of the record is invited.
Henderson county, in brief, is we'll gov
erned and there has not yet appeared any
adequate reason why the men who have
been responsible should be replaced by
others less familiar with the duties OF th'
offices at stake.

''The combined pressure repre-

a properly tuned piano is about
fifteen tons, which tension, pre-
served by equal distribution, is i'm
perative in keeping an instrument
in tune. Most complicated and del
icate in point Of construction, is the

''Perfect strings, fawless tuning
and the finest of key movements
will not avail if the sounding board
