SLOW UP ON SPENDING

The recovery movement has been in progress
now for some four years.
1t has faltered and stumbled pretty badly, at
times, but at last it seems to have settled down to
steady gait; but the thing to remember about it
is that from the very start it has been based on
policy of heavy government spending,
Since the government can't go on spending much
longer it is encouraging to notice that the business
summary recently made public by the Federal Re-
serve System shows indications that the recovery
movement is beginning to walk alone.
Production of such basic commodities as STEEL
minerals, lumber, automobiles, and cotton are
sharply up this spring.
Employment and payroll indces are rising fas-
ter than the usual seasonal rate
And as publicly-fnanced work declines, the
amount of privately-fnanced work is going up.
1t looks very much as if the time has come when
Uncle Sam can pull in his purse strings without
hating the recovery movement.-Greenville Pied

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER OR FIGHT

When the Northern Democrats" in the house
voted 1S9 for the Gavagan "ant-lynching' bill
they put the Southern Democrats who voted 11S tc
against it on notice that they purpose to draw
the sectional line against the South on Southern
questions and that they have the majority. The
Northern Republicans with few exceptions like
James Wadsworth, Jr., voted with them.
These Northern Democrats represent the real
New Dealers-the 'liberals" or radicals" who be-
leve in Specialization" and would destroy the
states-together with the Tammany machines of
the great cities and the negroes in those cities
have numerous votes and are often the balance of
power in elections
In the Northern and Western States are great
numbers of substantial people who have no SYM
pathy with these sectional politicians and quite
willing that the Southern states govern themselves.
They are minority-but they represent the same
minority whose support made possible the return
of the white Southern people to power in their
states in 1876.
The Southerners in congress have their choice
before them They can accept the control and die
tation of the Northern Democrats, and thereby,
obtain offices and alotments in number and amount
that seem good to the Northern majority That
would be unconditional surrender.
Or they can fight, defend their states.
Glass, Byrd, Bailey Smith and perhaps dozen
others excepted, the Southerners in congress are
dstrusted and held in contempt by the Northern
New Dealers. When Stanley High said as much in
The Saturday Evening Post he wrote the exact
truth, nothing but the truth.
Men like Secretary Roper, Senators Robinson,
Byrnes, Harrison, know this perfectly well, and
equally well they know that President Roosevelt
cannot protect them and the South without repudi-
ating his Northern supporters, including Duffie
John Lewis, and the negro contingent.

is still young and should have future, under

81 MAKE A LEETLE"

A man from the United States Department of
Agriculture was riding recently through western
Kansas examining the condition of the cattle range
so severely stricken by drought. He saw miles and
miles of grass nibbed to the bare earth and then
parched by months of torrid sun. He was begin
ming to doubt whether grassland could be saved
even by conservative grazing.
Then in the center of a very badly burned area
he came upon one ranch where the forage was at
least so per cent better than the surrounding
areas. The owner was sturdy German immigrant
who spoke rather broken English He told the Wis
itor that he had been grazing only cow to
every 81 acres, while his neighbors stocked their
range with one on every eight to twelve acres
But the Department of Agriculture was
curious as to how the farmer could make out by
so restricting the size of his herd The farmer
piled:
"Vell, ven times goot, my neighbors make a
lot / make leetle. Ven times got bad, my neigh
bors break even. / make leetle. Now my neigh
bors all broke Still l make leetle"
Aesop told story about goose that laid goi-
den eggs DR.. H. G. Moulton of Brookings Insti-
tuition has been urging upon business the advisa-
bility of low prices in preference to driedup mar
kets. Prof. Sumner H. Slichter, Harvard liberal
economist, has remarked that it remains to be seen
if American labor organization can be effective
IN marketing the maximum volume of service of
its membership as in obtaining high hourly rates.
The philosophy of the German farmer in Kan
sas can >be well applied to many other enterprises
as well as to grazing.-Christian Science Monitor.

MAY

1t is May Day on the seashorc,
Where the drifting clouds are fair,
And the heavy scent of jessamine
Is flung upon the air;
1t is Maytime in the seabreeze.
It is Maytime with the flowers:
The tender green upon the trees
Is changing with the hours:
The sea-gulls' wings are snowy
white,
To match the waves white crest;
The gentle little springtime buds
To mother earth are pressed;
1t is Maytime by the ocean.
With its spring tides heavy roll.
Where the wind and waves and
sun show God
As the spring-timc Of the soul.

and it is not likely they ever will
change them, for their beliefs
seem to be founded on basic
truth. Probably not a day passes
that the physical body of some
human being does not pull some

If the physicists would look be-

as effects, not as powers but as
expressions of power, they would
indeed have something which
would be of infinite benefit to

spiritual well-being of mankind.

THE TEN PER CENT CUT

straight cut of 10 per cent in government
costs is, of course, regrettable way of retrench-
ing because it sashes all alike those doing need
ed and those doing superfluous work. those deserv-
ing more rather than less along with those needing
much less, rather than more. But still more re-
grettable is it to government expenditures out
running income week by week.
AS for putting it on the president to decide who
shall suffer Is per cent reduction and who not
wel-it should never be done. There is no call for
placing this added power in his hands. 1t would be
Just one more immeasurably vexatious business for
him to carry 1t would almost certainly result in
the end in no appreciable savings
Economy is acutely needed now that emergency
pressure is vanishing and some cutting has got tc
come sooner or later, but the the better il
confidence in the government is to be preserved

policy very reassuring to all.-Spartanburg Herald

CURIOSER AND CURIOSER
BY WICKES WAMBOLDT

Mans physical being has no pow
er OF its own. II has no action of
its own. The power and the action
it manifests it gets from some
other source. Let mans body be
cut off from that source of life
and energy and it not only be-
comes inert but disintegrated.
Mans physical body cannot re-
new itself. 1t is said to do that
but it does not. The renewing
processes are induced by influ-
ences other than the body. True
enough. cells are developed in the
body. Replacement of tissue is
continuous but the body of itself
does not produce cells or replace
tissue.
That physicists are on the
wrong track trying to explain ev-
erything material by material
laws, is indicated by the fact that
every so often they completely
abandon theories about which
they have been cocksure for years
and adopt cocksurely other theo-
ries-often revolutionary-which
they eventually abandon for still
other theories.
Is there more reason to believe
that the physicists OF today are
any more right in their determi-
nations than were the physicists
whose long accepted determina-
tions have been discarded? On the
other hand those thinkers who
have insisted that spiritual laws
are the controlling laws - the
constructing laws - are Just as
consistent today in their beliefs
and declarations as they were
thousands of years ago. lhey

Boards MAY BRING NEW ERA OF
STRUTTING MALE
(By BRUCE CATT0N)

Just as if the future wasn't uncertain
and perpleXing enough already, Fortune
Magazine now comes out with an article
predicting the return of the male beard.
A BARRIERS journal, says Fortune, not
only foresees such return but advocates
it. More Significantly Columbia Univers-
ity's eminent forecaster, Paul Nystrom, is
quoted as follows:
american men will blossom out in
clouds of boards in a decade or two. Mems
mass tastes change more slowly than wom-
ems, but they change, nevertheless. A new
bearded age is on the way. Your sons will
be wearing heavy Boards
In the face of such expert advice, the
average male can do nothing but stroke his
chin reflectively, gaze on the downy cheeks
of his small son, and reflect that eventual
ly those blooming cheeks will be hidden
behind glossy tangle of shrubbery in the
style of Civil War general
But when you stop and consider the mat
ter prayerfully, there seems to be no good
reason why a renaissance Of boards should
not take place. And if that, in turn, leads
men to regain little of their old pride in
personal adornment, we are going to have
a more colorful and exciting world.
There was a time when men were every
bit as persnickety about their looks as
women, if not more so. An Englishman of
Elizabeth's day, for instance, was as vain
about having his beard frizzed and per-
fumed, and as careful about his great
starched ruff and the lace fringes to his
sleeves, as his great-great-great grand
daughter is about her newborn perma-
nent. With it all, he was nobody's pansy,
either; the men who followed Drake
around the world, sought the northwest
passage with Frobisher, and won the en-
pire of India may have been peacocks, but
they had hair on their chests.
But somehow, in this modern world, all
this has gone by the boards. For several
generations now it has been mans lot to
look as drab and as uninspiring as the tai
lor can make him. His daily garb is dull
and somber; his evening attire is positive
ly funereal; and if he had a brief rebellion
on the golf links, and went in for gaudy
hose and baggy knickers, even those have
given way to plain gray flannel slacks.
This isn't good for him. The strutting
instinct lies deep, and it can't be choked
off without setting up unwholesome pres
sures. 1t is more than a desire to get a
night out occasionally that leads the mod
4 4
and purple The ancient urge to look daz-
zling, to make a vain and gaudy show of
himself, is still working.
Boards are surely modest beginning. By
themselves, they won't do the trick. But
they are step in the right direction. That
step once taken, men may at last assert
themselves and regain the old right to look
as colorful (if not, perhaps, so attractive)
as their womenfolk.
