NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
QUESTION

Regardless of whatever else that could be said
about it, the South recently and increasingly has
been coming in for what amounts almost to con-
certed national assault upon its institutions. Inc
United States, apparently, doesn't like the way we
do
There is genuine reason to believe that New
England is warmly supporting a southern labor
drive which would attempt to offset Dixies highly
priced industrial climatic advantages And there
are other movements less definite but directed to
the same end. To what extent the South will wish
to, or can, resist these encroachments is one OF
the interesting questions of the near future but
one thing is sure, and must be taken into consid-
Grafton in discussing the possible reactions. This
is that we shall have to face the question and un-
derstand it ourselves. -
Without doubt some of the demands being made
upon the South for change are based on no more
than the jealousies of competition, unjust and
unwarranted. Quite certainly the South has re-
forms which should be made; should, indeed, be
initiated by southerners just as past reforms have
come from that Observation-Disclosures News.

THE NEW DEAL
IN WASHIN GTON

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON - A substantial
" farmer-labor party is in the
stage of discussion and planning
by leaders OF labor and farmer
groups.
Labor's Non-Partisan League, a
coalition OF c. /. o. and A. F. of
L. groups organized for political
action, is going to have a little
brother-the Farmers Non-Par-
tisan League.
. Probably there will be no farm
er-labor presidential ticket in
1910, although insiders of the
movement hazard the guess that
there will be such a ticket in
1914. Meanwhile the two leagues
will work closely together in
seeking to elect progressive can
didates in 1888. !
A conference at st. Paul, before
long, at which farm delegates will
predominant and both progressive
congressman and leaders Of the
labor league will attend, is being
planned.
States where preliminary or
ganization is planned are Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, the two Dakotas,
Nebraska and Montana.
The labor league has announced
1t would open regional Offices
which would organize In all coun-
ties, urban and rural.
One factor which may hurt the
movement is a widespread i'm
preston that the LNPL is a po-
litical appendage Of John Lewis
and the c. /. o. But the LNPL
claims it has more than so officials
Of A. F. Of L. unions on its exec
utive board-none of whom have
resigned-and that more than
half its officials are A. F. Of L.
men.

" something injurious had been
put on it.
Investigation showed that the
man who had done the job had
used but one gallon of paint,
which he had diluted with five gal
Ions of kerosene. The cost OF the
paint was two dollars; the kero-
sene Seventy-five cents. And worst
of all the kerosene had rusred the
tin roof-as kerosene will do.
The citizen, filled with right
eous anger, was on the point of
having the fraud arrested; but
reasoning that the fellow was en-
tirely irresponsible and nothing
could be recovered, he contented
himself with the determination to
kick the rascal off the place if
he ever put foot on it again.
But Fate has dealt out retribu-
ton to the rascal-aS Fate is
wont to do. He is completely down
and out, and is begging around
here and there for food for him.
self, his wife and seven children.
He has no wife or children. So
YOU see he is-even in his eXtrcm-
ity-practicing deception.
Perhaps he will learn some day
that honesty is the best policy;
but probably he will not have
time to learn it in this world.
Likely it would take several pain
full lives as long as this one to
teach that fellow the fundamen-
tai principles of integrity.

less, Lewis and Sidney Hillman
of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers were the prime movers
behind the leagues organization
and installed Berry, head Of an
A. F. of l.. union, as president.
There is still much radical
feeling in Iowa, Nebraska, the
Dakotas and Montana-or so one
hears-aS well as Farmer-Labor
governed Minnesota. Labor lead
ers and the few farm leaders thus
far allied hope farmers will re.
spond to their program.
IT may prove impossible for
L these men to break down the
theory that farmers and workers
have fundamentally conflicting in
terests. 1t is often argued that
wage increases mean increased
cost of goods farmers must buy
and higher food prices mean low
err real wages for workers. 80
Farmer-labor people will argue
that this applies equally to all
groups of producers, that higher
incomes enable workers to buy
more farm products and farmers
TO buy more labor products, that
unity OF interest rests in obtaining
necessities Of life at lower cost,
that farmers with their problem
of marketing and distribution and
workers with their problems Of
Wages and hours should unite to
eliminate waste, minimize profits
and attack corruption and profit
eering in business.
It's just guesswork whether this
latest farmer-labor movement
will get to first base. s.s

NOT MAKING TROUBLE MERITS
REWARD, TOO -...
lBY BRUCE CATTON)


Wondering just how many persons in
the vicinity of Detroit had, like himself,
lived 20 years or more without being ar
rested, one John A. Williams, 76, decided
that the best way to find out would be
through letter to the editor of news
paper.
The letter was published and in due
time Mr.. Williams began to get answers.
In fact, so many answers from people who
could meet the stringent qualifications,
that Mr.. Williams was impelled to organ
ize them into club.
Now in these days, almost any kind of
an excuse will start someone organizing
something which, nine times out of ten, is
nothing more than scheme to collect
dues. But club of people who have never
been arrested somehow is different. And
its virtue is that it lays the foundation for
a monument to one of the most deserving
varieties of the forgotten man." ,>
Enormous portions of the nations tai
ents and resources are being devoted to
cutting down the activities of the gang
role-breaker. They are held constantly in
ridicue before the public, as examples of
lawlessnesS.
But comparatively little has been done
to popularize the career of the law-abid-
ing citizen or make him the model for
positive education in the principles of pro-
gressive civilization.
1t is when he is contrasted against his
opposite that the man who has never been
arrested assumes his real proportions. In
general he is the man who does not kidnap
children. He does not rob banks, run gam
bling houses, sell liquor to minors or break
traffic laws. He does not run up the tax
payers bill in lengthy trials or prison main
tenance. He is the fellow who does not
slug pedestrians along dark streets or
shoot Omen or write bad checks.
In summary, he is the fellow who has
not caused every civilized nation most of
its household grief and has not cost that
nation appalling sums in money and mis-
cry. -
Of course, there are many who have
committed illegal acts and got off scot
free. And there are others who have been
hailed before the judgment bench when
they were perfectly innocent. ''
But when account is taken of all excep-
tons, there still remains large section of
the population whose clean record with
the law attests its value as bulwark to
the national morals.
Other heroes have been eulogized and
their status set up in the name of other
noble causes. But the award of high dis
tinction for the man who mas just simply
kept out of trouble all his life is strangely
missing. Geo ~ -

But II such q line of reasoning were
accepted, Congress could claim that
1t was not limiting freedom of the
press when 1t limited the size of
publications or their areas of circula-
ton because it could argue that after
all handbills, books, pamphlets and
billboards were still available to such
persons for the wider presentation
of their news or editorial ideas.
Among many well-informed lawyers
who follow constitutional precedents.
there seems little doubt but that the
proposal to separate newspapers from
ownership of broadcasting stations is
unconstitutional on its face because
it is direct interference with the
freedom of press and also a violation
of the due process clause of the
Federal Constitution. But what a

The Banner of Earnestness
Democrats Opposing Court Proposal Have Enlisted
Virtue of Courage.

Gratis have good generals to provide.
The Democrats who lead opposition to
the proposal will be more forceful
than those who lead the night in be-
half of 1t. They will be more force
full because, among other reasons,
they are more earnest. In any situa-
ton a Senator who on one issue goes
against his party and his President, is
likely to be more earnest, on the
average, than those who remain regu-
lar. It takes conviction and moral
courage for a Senator to oppose an
important detail Of a program de-
manded by the President who Is head
Of his party.
Democrats See Danger 10 States.
The earnestness of the Democrats
who oppose the President is increased
and sustained by fundamental factors
Of the controversy. Democrats such as
Senator Glass and Byrd and Clark and
George and Connally know not only
that the Presidents proposal Is a step
In q process which in the long view
goes in the direction Of changing the
form Of Government. They know
further that the immediate and
avowed intention of the proposal and
the certain consequence if it is
adopted, Is to reduce the standing of
the States-to make the States negli-
gible, the Federal Government all
powerful. They know that giving to
power over economic matters and agri-
culture within the States, must be fol-
lowed soon by a demand for more and
more power over the States as political
units. The Democratic Senators
opposing the President know that they
are the defenders Of the party's Oldest
and strongest principle and tradition,
and that the President and the New
Deal are in fortnight antagonism TO
that principle.
In proportion as the Democrats
leading the opposition are more ear
nest. so must those leading for the
administration be less so. OF the three
or four Democratic Senators who will
lead in behalf Of the President, not
one would have introduced this meas
ure of his own initiative. On the con-
trary, every one Of them, we can feel
sure, would have been deeply shocked
by such a proposal had it come from
any source other than the President
Indeed it is safe to surmise the high
origin of the measure did not save
them from feeling shock when the
President laid it before them, written
out formally in the form Of bill. In
the coming battle between two wings
of the Democrats, ignoring the rule
about the bigger battalions, God is on
the side Of those having the stronger
convictions and deeper emotions. The
outcome should be victory for the
opposition.
