will the profit come from?
Fer years vocational agriculture teachers, COUNTY
agents and the United States Government have all
attempted 10 educate tie farmer away from planting
much cotton. The government had to come to our
rescue in 1883 and IS again with loan
and subsidy Uncle sam is playing Santa Claus again
Sooner later he will grow weary eff advising the farm
what to do and paying him for being disobedient
Again he is asking the farmer reduce his cotton
age. Again he Is advising the cotton farmer to grow
many different crops possible IN order to make
himself as nearly seIf-spportng as he can.
The question now is--NiI the farmer take heed or
will he continue DEFY the warnings Of The government
and plant as he chooses Southern farmer you have slept
on your rights long enough. The time Has come when
you must WAKE Up and LIVE.

THE FARMERS PROBLEM

The problem of the Southern farmer is of immense
Importance His economic independence depends entire
ly upon what he produce just any other section
of the country depends upon its production of goods
Several reasons given by historians to explain
WHY the South lost the Civil War. The fundamental
cause of the failure was the concentration of Southern
people upon a single NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. The north
diversified it's industrial activities 1t had factories car
red on commerce with other nations and had amassed
great quantity of wealth. The South was dependent on

A BURNING QUESTION

Why has Detroit Negro fremen in its Fire Depart
ment? This is indeed burning question which every Ne
gro voter should keep in mind when deciding which
ddaes to support in the primary election Tuesday,
October B.
Remember this: the members of the Fire Commission
are appointed by the Mayor and endorsed by Common
Council; select your mayoraty and councmanic can
ddates with In other words your will help
elect the and councmen who in will select the
personnel of the Fire Commission and influence their
policy toward employing Negroes
Our next mayor and city council will also have it
largely within their to open the doors opportun
ty for members of representation in 9TH
er municipal departments, including the Civil Service
Commission the Board of Health, and elsewhere What
will their attitude be-?
Candidates in the mayoralty and councmanic race
as well other ofceseekers, want your votes in the pri
mary election You want something too and when you
cast your ballots it is only fair that officials you help
should reciprocate by giving qualified members of the
race consideration in aottng of appontve municipal
positions well in the distribution of jobs the vari
Gus city departments including the Fire Department.
Think it over.

PLAY THE GAME FAIR

When political campaigns start down the home
stretch just before election there usually plenty of mud
singing and throwing of brickbats and in all too many
instances unjusted cowardy attacks made the
regulations of some of the candidates.
In most cases, the candidates who most maligned
are those who strongest and stand out the most
popular asprants This is craftsmanship the part
Of any opponent and such attempts at
nation of any candidate should not be allowed to in
fluence the decision of intelligent voters.
the primary election which will be held next Tues
day there many worthy candidates With the single
exception of Attorney Percva r. Piper coored
dorsement to any of the candidates. neither have we
sought defeat any of them to influence the voting of
large reading public.
In the present primaries, believe each candidate
should run his record and confident that the
are intelligent enough to make their selections
wisely
There are five mayoray candidates, namely: Richard
W. Reading, John w. Smith, Patrick O'Brien, Clarence
Mcleod and Ralph Philbrook. Each is well known in the
community and has the support of many staunch ad-
herents.
We regret that an editorial published in last weeks
issue of the Tribune has been reprinted by opponents OF
of these mayoray candidates. and circulated IN con-
junction with prejudical political propaganda, without
our knowledge consent This is unfair.
The Tribune never stoops to underhand tactlcs. we
have not shopped around among the candidates for "a
price,, neither have "sold out, some other papers
have done The Tribune is still free to pursue It's IN
dependent policy and to work for the best interests OF our
people and the common wealth at large.
In the final analysis, candidates for polltca ONCE
should be Judged not so much by what they say or what
their opponents say against them but rather by their
deeds of accomplishment by their character and efficiency
and by the esteem which they held by the citizens OF
the community.
We therefore appeal to our readers not to be swayed
by prejudice intolerance in deciding which mayoray
candidate and other candidates they Will support next
Tuesday. Let's be fair.
