THE RESULTS WE'VE GOT

From all parts of the South, Texas, Alabama,
Georgia South Carolina, is a labor shortage. The
cotton fields are white and heavy with cotton.
bumper crop" has been rased-and the price is
under nine cents pound. With three cents a
pound loans on 60 per cent of the crop, the out
look is still not bright. Farmers believe that 30
cents a hundred is as much as the business will
stand, that they take a large risk when they pay
more to pckers.
The unwillingness of laborers to pick cotton is
widespread Most of the southern labor is negro.
Southern cotton growers-shall we say at its
mercy?-in the autumn and early winter months.
Why the shortage? Why the extreme reluctance
of negroes to pick cotton? Why in some of the
twons of South Carolina is it difficult to find
domestic servant? 1t was before. Every
thinking man knows the answer
Now we hear, from many communities, of farm
ers meeting and organizing to fix the prcefor cot
ton picking. agreements among corporations to
fix wages are considered infamous, are they not!)
In some cities and towns tacit agreements that
laws against vagrancy will be enforced Sometimes
they are enforced. Men are dropped from relief
rolls and told that unless they go to work they
will be sent to jail. Why were they relief rolls
Is any man with two strong arms in this region
with its mild climate and abundant land incapable
of digging the food he needs out of the ground?
"Yes," you say Tell it to the marines.
That is one side The other is agitation in for
eign parts, in northern states, to prevent forced
labor in the South. They call it 'peonage." Per-
haps it is-we shall not debate that defend it.
There is agitation for laws for minimum wages and
shorter hours. Can one conceive of a minimum
wage of SIC for forty hours week for labor in
shops that will not sow discomfort and resentment
in farm labor left to work ten or eleven hours a
day six days in the week?
Add to it the impression deliberately made by
government that no man shall hunger; add to it
relief and to that the prospect of social security
and we have the whole economic structure of South
Carolina, the South, disturbed, demoralized. Are
you rprised?-Charleston News and Courier

hostile planes were sent over to bomb that city.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THREE BILLIONS MORE OR LESS

In yesterdays mail was study of federal hnahee
by a writer who apparently has given the subject
some days of unusually careful and mteiiiee"'
study.
However, he is handicapped by the fact that ne
cannot determine within some hundreds OF i'iiiioS
of dollars the amount of money Appropriated "
the recent session of congress. RepuOiicai H'e'"
Der and a Democratic member of the house aPPfo-
pratons committee made estimates but tne eo'
mates were nearly three billion dollars apart Inc
Republican said appropriations were something IN
excess of SIC, 000, 900 900 and the Democrat saio
they were in excess of O00,00O,OOO. -
Anyone who has ever tried to total up the CON
gressional appropriations will appreciate the pIghI
of the poor analyst. He finally takes figure nan
way between the two extremes of the opposing
congressman. At the same time he warns that the
figure may not mean much because actual expen-
ditures may not bear much relation to appropria-
tons. ....
Briefly, here is a gentleman, presumably with
more than ordinary capability and with every IA
cility for finding out how much congress proposes
to spend OF the taxpayers money. He gives up;
the best he can do is an estimate.
Under such circumstance what chance has the
poor citizen--who must pay up the money-to find
ont what the men he elects to Washington have
been spending.
Some months ago a member of the senate arose
in his place TO propose system whereby congress
at each session would inform the country the
amount it intended to appropriate; figure so SIM
pie that no newspaper reader need have any doubt
concerning it. As nearly as senatorial courtesy
would permit, the senator was hooted down. But
it was only few hours before some of the hooters
were going on record as demanding more publicity
for the financial affairs of corporations and certain
individuals. They said that was the only way to
prevent the mulcting of the public.--Wall Street

Editor, The Times-News:
When in his constitution day
address, the president said, "the
constitution gave no power to the
supreme court to hold acts of
congress, or the executive, UNI
constitutional he made a state
ment that any high school grad
uate knew to be misleading,
stupid and false.
The supreme court has never IN
it's history assumed to have au-
thority over the acts of congress,
and has never tried to exercise
such authority, unless and until
the citizens Of this country, be-
lieving their rights under the
laws of a sovereign people, were
nullified and abridged by acts of
congress, appealed to the lower
courts for protection, and after
such appeal has finally reached the
supreme court, then and then
only, has the court decided in
favor of the laws made by the
people,
The president demands the
right to make any act Of con-
gross approved by him, superior
to the laws Of the people, and
would deny any appeal from such
laws.
This is in violation of his sacred
oath of office, made before God
and the American people, "to
protect, defend and support the
constitutions" his weak and pitt
full excuse is "that it would take
too long for the people or the
states to approve"-such a dam
nable change. God forbid That
our cherished government "of the
people for the people, and by the
people" shall perish from our
land and that the president shall
substitute for it, a government of
Roosevelt, for Roosevelt and by
Roosevelt for centralized power.

MANKIND'S OTHER SIDE IN
STARTLING CONTRAST
IRv BRUCE CATTON)

There are on display in Europe right
now two exhibits which seem to sum up
the tragic contradictions in the soul Oh
modern man as nothing else could.
One of them is to be seen in Spain, where
bombs crash into crowded city streets
tanks lumber across broken fields splttlhg
flame and destruction, and men shoot thelr
brother men by the hundreds because they
cannot agree on the way society is to De
run.
The other is on view at the great Paris
Exposition, where there is a magnificent
display of mans scientific achievements
his reading of the riddle of the stars, his
conquests over disease, his brilliant recon-
struction of his races history, his harness
ing of nature to do his will
Vera MicheleS Dean, editor of the week
" Bulletin of the Foreign Policy Associa-
ton, makes this comment on these two
exhibits:
"Undismayed by knowledge of his own
mortality and the possible finiteness OF the
universe, the scientist, on battlefront
which spans the world, strives not only to
preserve life but enrich it. Yet outside his
laboratory, humanity, with growing indif-
ference, accepts the deliberate increase in
the chances of death inflicted by modern
warfare"
1t is dismaying and an incomprehensi-
bic thing, this two-sidedness of man, this
blending of magnifcence and horror. The
genius that conquers a world-old plague is
the same genius that sends up airplanes to
drop bombs on school rooms; the restless
drive for accomplishment which can weigh,
analyze and chart the movements of star
millions of light years away is the same
force that divides a nation into warning
camps and puts brother at the throat of
brother.
The fact that human nature contains
these contradictions - that man, who is
made "a little lower than the angels and
can rise to dazzling heights of self-abne-
cation and mastery, also contains black
spirits of cruelty and hatred and can be
blind and destructive in his folly-that is
not news. The race has always had a dual
personality, a mingling of good and evil.
But it is only in this modern world that the
contrast between humanity's best efforts
and its worst efforts has become so start
ling.
For our recent advances in the physical
sciences have enormously increased our
powers-for evil as well as for good. If a
good man can do more to help the world
now than ever before, because infinitely
more efficient tools are in his hands, bad
man can do more to hurt it. Attila himself,
with his horde of savage marauders, could
not inflict destruction and misery on a
given. territory as quickly and completely
as can an aviation corps major with cou-
pie of flights of bombing planes.
In this fact lies the greatest of our prob
lens. The echoes of our actions carry far
Their than they used to. More than ever
before, we are required to master our
selves, to control the brute that is in us,
and to give permanent ascendance to those
forces in human nature which seek to lead
us toward the stars.

GRAIN"


To hear the gentle lullaby
That dripping rain imparts;
The steady, lulling motion
Is soothing to the heart.
And see the range of mountains
rise
Above the misty clouds,
Or hear the rain-crow's weird
song
Ringing far and loud.
And watch the locust's dainty
boroughs
Where tear-drops lightly cling
Fade into the waning dusk
Like a passing dream.
TO hear the rhythm of the rain
When all is still and grey,
Is company in solitude
When night Ger takes the day.
