OTHERS VIEWS
MIR. WRIGHTS VIEWS.

" lh1O ILO1COI.
In the paper of August 18th. read
about a great speech made ty Con-
gresham Hoffman of Michigan, at
Birmingham, Ala, recently. The
speech was sponsored by the Consti-
tutional Educational League and the
rich. The speech was made to down
Roosevelt and prevent him from aid
ing the great producing class. This
man Hoffman who did the talking is
Republican of the Hoover stripe
He is in Congress because the rich
slave owners in Michigan like Ford,
want him there. He has only been in
Congress a short while, but he is such
a fighter against the New Deal that
have watched him very closely and
have long ago concluded he is one of
the worst enemies the producing class
has in the Congress. Unlike the great
Governor of his State of Michigan,
Mr.. Murphy, he has never done one
single thing in his public career to
aid those whose labor makes the gov
crnment possible Yet he is the man
the rich employers of labor in Bir-
mingham want to speak for them. If
they wanted to do the fair thing why
did they not get Governor Murphy to
speak to them? He has been in the
thick of the fight with labor since he
has been Governor. He knew more
about it than this Hoffman who is
only the servant of organized wealth.
They showed very clearly that they
did not want the truth, but propa-
ganda to mislead the ignorant South.
~, f1a
about one third less than in other
parts of the country so these rich fell
lows who are living in high style on
this cheap labor wish to keep it so.
They, very much unlike our great
President, care nothing for the suf-
fering of the great working class, all
they want is their pound of flesh.
Hoffman's speech was made to
crush organized labor in the South.
He was very bitter against the CIO
and it's great leader John L. Lewis.
Labor is so weak in the South that it
is not much to crush thanks to the
old slave driving tradition of the
leaders of this section. What do our
State officers, our Congressman and
Senators care about the producing
housed, and clothed by it. 1t seems
cruel indeed that whenever those who
do all the work seek to better their
condition that all the powers of or
ganized wealth should be brought to
bear against them. All Of us know
wealth is organized against labor, yet
when those who do the work seek to
better their condition by uniting they
are insulted with all the vile names
in our language.
We hear much about how honor
able it is to work, but such talk comes
often from those who toll not. Re
Gently I was talking to town man
about the very hard lot of the farmer,
I was telling him what struggle
they had to- get the bare necessities
of life. He replyed that they enjoyed

ONCE UPON AUGUST IL

ONCE UPON AOUOO1 As
By checking back via references OF
contemporaries to eclipses, battles, etc.
it can be figured out that Aug. II, 594,
B. c., Sappho, the most often quoted
and most widely discussed woman
genius in history, Gied-possibly by
diving 1000 feet into the sea from
Leucadian Rock, in a fit of unreqult-
ed love for handsome younger Phaon.
The world often makes the error OF
supposing an authors character is un-
separable from his or her works. Sap
pho has a classic reputation as wanton
because Of the depth of feeling ex-
pressed in her odes.
She believed that what is beauti-
full is good, and what is good will soon
also be beautiful and opined Il
would not exchange my mind for your
beauty, fair maids two thoughts that
one of the Dale Carnegie-Dorothea
Brande school of inspiration writers
ought to be able to expand into anoth-

ed, yet she was mother who wrote

for all the kingdom of Lydia, and she
wrote a classic attack upon the mo-
rails of one Rhodopis, who led Sap
pho's brother astray. By thus being
immoral, Rhodopis achieved immor-
tality.
Horace and many another great poet
used the Sapphic measure, Byron,
Swinburne and many another has
tried to improve her style, and ad-
mitted failure. Solon, greatest of an
cient Greece's seven wise men, hear
ing his nephew sing one of Sappho's
songs, was so impressed with its beau
ty that he explained, "Let me not die
before I have learned it."
Regardless of her morals, Sappho
did much for women.

their seemingly hard life, not having
ever known an easiergone, that they
were only hirelings to bear the bur-
dens of their more fortunate brothers.
That is the way, far too many of those
whose lives are made comfortable by
the labor of the farmer, think of his
toll and suffering.
"a Mr.. Farmer, don't let any hireling
of organized wealth like Mr.. Hoffman
cause you to dislike John L. Lewis
and the other grand and good men
who are giving their lives to lift up
the great working class in our coun-
try. Far better should you pray God
to raise up another John L. Lewis to
lead the farmers out of their wilder
ness of woe and want to take their
share Of the wealth of this greatest
of all countries.

was done when the shaving angle
is about 25 degrees. But different
shavers differed in this.
Safety Guards Used
Safety guards were first fitted to
razors in 1875, but the general use
of the safety razor is of the twen-
tieth century. It is estimated by
the Mellon Institute workers that
well over half the men in the Unit
ed States use safety razors. This
seems low estimate, but received
a letter the other day from an old
fashioned hollow ground razor man.
ufacturer, who said that his busi-
ness was better now than ever.
Safety razor blades, according to
this report, are made from steel
as good for shaving purposes as
the best steel ever used for an old
style straight razor, if not better"
This is contrary to all previous pro-
nouncements on the subject. The
automatic sharpening equipment of
safety razor blade manufacturers
produces sharper blades than any
device for sharpening old blades.
Corrosion of the blade either dur
ing shaving or between shaves had
very little to do with making q dull
blade
The first stroke Of the razor over
the beard cuts it at an angle 20
there is sharp pointed piece Of
stubble sticking out. This is what
gives the feel of not having a close
shave. A dull razor is more apt to
do this. A close shave can be OBJ
tanned the first time over better by
stretching the skin; the guard bar
of safety is supposed to do this.
Ingrowing hairs are produced by
slanting wounds through the skin
at the hair root. Sharp razors,
contrary to expectation, produce
these more readily than dull ones.
The material you scrape off your
face freed from lather is about half
hairs and half skin debris.
