Choosing an excellent setting for an address OH

Roosevelt, yesterday at Chautauqua, N ~ once
again declared for reign of peace and emphasized
the fact that the United States would set an exam

but that during the term of President Roosevelt the

the nations of the world in general recognize our
peacefu policy and hold this nation in much great
or confidence and esteem than has been true III
years. e.,
But the president recognizes that standing 1or
neaceo does not permit an utter neglect OF prepar-
edness for war As he told his audience last nigh''
there are strong nations in the world VINO nave en-

GOOD ARGUMENT is NOT ANSWERED
BY RASELESS CHARGES

In Rock Hill down in South Carolina,
The Herald has waged fight for several
wears for the manager form of government
for York county. The contest has reached
the stage where some of the citizens OPP
posed to the plan are making personal Ver-
bal attacks on the editor and owner OF The
Herald in the effort to answer the neKs-
papers arguments.
The Times-News does not propose to en-
ter the discussion of the county manager
plan for York county, but mentions the
matter to observe that people who attempt
to oppose the public affairs program of a
newspaper in this way are making mis-
take. 1t is a course which will get nowhere
with intelligent, honest citizens who are
primarily concerned with the public well
fare.
If a person who dissents in case OF this
kind cannot answer the newspapers argu-
ments with arguments, or at least with
frank and honest discussion of the subject,
a much better spirit is evidenced by saying
nothing. An attack on the personal char
acter of an editor, or charges of bad faith
and hidden motives, stamps those who thus
oppose newspaper policies as lacking the
necessary qualifications to make their OPP
position count in a dignifed and legiti-
mate manner.
Of course, what is said about newspaper
controversies is equally applicable to con-
troversies between persons in which no
newspaper is involved. Good citizens
should be able to discuss public affairs, the
problems of their local, State or national
governments, those things relating to the
general welfare, without prejudice or bad
feeling. .,.....
The Rock Hill Herald's arguments for
the county manager form of government
cannot be answered or disproved by per
sonsl attacks on the papers editor, even
though the attacks take the form of hot
air blasts. $685..
That statement is just as truthful and
impressive anywhere and everywhere as 1t
is down in South Carolina. No person will
lose anything by remembering this fact.

road or for the condition of the road be-
tween Hendersonville and East Flat Rock.
The Times-News is informed that around
10 miles of the Boylston road remains with
out hard-surfaeing and has been in this
condition for several years. The road was
graded and rocked and the rocks have
been largely converted into dust and have
blown away. About five miles of the Boyls-
ton road in Pennsylvania county was COM
pleted Several miles in Pennsylvania and
other miles in Henderson are unfinished.
The public would really like to know the
true reason for failure to complete this
proiect-the story of why the money spent
for grading and rocking is being allowed
to go to waste.
The highway department has made
valiant effort to restore the black top road
between Hendersonville and East Flat
Rock since it was so nearly destroyed by
winter freezing and thaWing, but 1t is still
a third or fourth class road where first
class highway should be located. This road
should be relocated and made first-class
highway.
If the State highway department has
any information, scientific" or otherwise,
ready for PRONUNCIATION in regard to these
important roads, our public will give at
tentive ear to the announcement, but 1t IS
certain the interested citizens are more
concerned with action by the department
than with any number of statements or eX-
plantations.

g CORN SEEN
FOR MIDWEST
Survey There Shows Gen.
eral Satisfaction With
AAA Program
BY MARTIN KANE
1886 by United Press

CHICAGO, Aug. IT. (UP).-
Farm experts Of the middle west,
looking from an area of drouth-
ruined crops to a market which
offers rising prices for corn and
wheat. hold divided opinions on
the question of expanding gram
acreage in 1887, according to a
United Press survey. In general,
they expressed satisfaction with
the AAA program.
Charles D. Reed, senior meteor
ologist of the Iowa weather bu-
reau, saw a possibility of So a
bushel corn in Iowa, eff farmers
can afford to pay that much for
feed and if professors foresee any
profit for themselves at such a
figure in the light of the present
income of the people"
Reed, who publishes weekly
Iowa crop report, felt it was too
early to indicate possible changes
in AAA contracts.
Herbert Hazen Iowa soil con-
servation committee executive,
felt that "while the scope of AAA
contracts with farmers will not be
determined until early in 1887,
preliminary inquiry by field men
into the sentiment of farmers in
dicates a trend toward expansion
of acreage both in corn and small
grain for 1887"
Ray Murray, Iowa state secre-
tary of agriculture, saw no chance
of over-production Of corn in Iowa
next year but added that "there
is likely to be a large extension
of wheat acreage"
Natural factors will determine
the extent of corn acreage" he
continued, with lack of good seed
and carry-over of the insect men,
ace influencing decisions to substi-
tute wheat acreage for corn"
The drouth has emphasized the
folly of restricted production,
John Bosch, president of the Ma
tional Farm Holiday association,
said at Minneapolis.
at should awaken farmers to
demand that unlimited planting be
made the rule" he said. we favor
the soil conservation program and
believe it should be expanded. But
as a measure of control of the ag-
ricultural situation, we recommend
direct control Of marketing rath-
er than indirect control exercised
through control of production"
Marketing control, Bosch said,
might be exercised either through
federal loans or federal warehous-
ing, "either of which would make
the farm a storage place for the
surplus of good years for use in
the poor years, such as the pres
enb"IIgg, H.,
This view is general among
progressive farmers through the
northwest wheat belt, he said.
But J. S. Jones, secretary of
the Minnesota farm bureau, OPP

from the lure of patronage.
take off my hat to man who is partisan De-
cause he thinks deeply and conscientiously and SIM
cerely that the basis philosophy Of one party OF an
other is sound and irrefutably wise.
But there is no respect even here for that par
tisan who is either Democrat, Republican or mug
wump because he figures that by following one OF
the other, he is the likely to get his snout IN
the patronage trough.
And those who do the yelping and ballyhoolng IN
a political campaign when they have just slipped
out of their swivel chairs in swank federal oflces
or who are moved by hope of reward that they
may gain powerful place and position by putting
new crowd in-wel, they just about send me TO
