ORCHIDS FOR SOUTH
(By BRUCE CATTON)


One of the excellent records hung up ir
the year 1886 is the fact that the lynchins
evil declined substantially. The year saw
nine lynchings-and while it may be re,
marked that that was just nine too many
it should be noticed that it was IL fewer
than 1855 total
Furthermore, there were 50 cases in
which courageous officers, of the law pre-
vented attempted lynchihgs, and 80 OF
these cases were recorded in the deep
south. Altogether, 50 people = all but
seven of them colored - were saved from
violence at the hands of mobs.
1t is cause for congratulation, that rec
ord. And it emphasizes fact which north
ern critics too often overlook - that the
average southern official, supported by the
sentiment of his own locality, is aware OF
his duty and brave enough to carry 1t out.
Thirty-nine mobs formed in the south
last wear. bent on violence; all but nine OF
them were broken up and fooled. Inc
south can take pride in that record.

Whatever this modern era OF technology
may do for us, it does leave us completely
at the mercy of mechanical breakdowns.
Never was the fact more strikingly Illus
trated than by the failure of the electric
power system at Newark, N. j., the other
day.
A small fire, unimportant in itself, swept
a substation and cut off the power line
which brought current into Newark. For
So hours the city was dark.
Elevators stopped running, lights went
out, movies were suspended, hospital serv-
ice was checked, radios went off, traffic
lights stopped blinking, and the thousand
and-one little gadgets that run by electric
ity ceased to operate.
Service was resumed before anything
very terrible happened. But how graph
ically does the incident show our utter de-
pendence on the smooth working of the
intricate machinery on which we have
built our civilization!
One little accident can mean chaos for
an entire city. 49, .,.s.,. 90

NEWSPAPERS' OPINIONS
SAME OLD STORY

An old bit of philosophy says Wrongs do not
leave off where they begin but still beget new
mischiefs in their course"
At the turn of the century Germany had, due TO
1.-THE earlier ambition and energy OF bismarK,
builded her entire economic life around the military
as a center of control. This lead by 1914 to the
perfection of super-human and mechanical war
machine, the basis of which rested upon the false
premise that, might makes right" Thus having
| twice committed wrong, the next step followed
as a matter of course. This was the violation OF
Belgium and the earlier guarantee to respect her
territory as neutral ground in the event Of war
with France.
Let us now turn the dial to 1886 Under the
present administration the United States has Gre
tated stable deficit. That, in itself is bad, yet
excusable if an honest attempt is made to correct
it in the course Of time by the recognized methods
| of equitable taxation.
This, unfortunately is not the plans of the adj
| minstration. The temptation to play upon the
guibty of public opinion is too great to be avoid
ed. The program is to create semblance OF pros
perity and direct attention away from the deficit
by forcing industry to pay out all its profits in
dividends and then collect heavily from those who
will not submit to the program. y..
Thus corporations who pay out dividends are
supposed to be creating prosperity, with govern
mental thanks, while those who will not are ex-
pected to pay heavily in contributions to the treas
urv of the United States. The ring of reasonable
ness of this scheme is annulled by substituting one
little mistake for another great big one. 1t is at
tempting to make prosperity by destroying the very
methods by which prosperity is created.
In the first place. while paying out dividends to
escape taxes may Great a semblanco of prosperity,
it decidedly undermines the financial structures Of
corporations, already weakened by the depression.
To that extent it dminishes the very economic Sc
curty the administration has pledged itself to es-
tablish By 1910, without these earnings, the sur
plus of industry will be something like forty bill
lions less than it was before the beginning of the
depression. With, another toboggan slide as a GER
tainty in tne not distant future, situation far
more acute than that of 1882 will be created.
In the second place, to escape federal taxes nu-
merous corporations will be paying dividends out
of accumulated deficits. In so doing, not only will
their moral and financial rating with those who
trusted them with their capital be reduced, but
state laws with respect to the payment of dividends
out of depleted SURPRISES will be violated. Imagine
man being fined for not doing that which the law
specifically states he shall not do. Thus govern
ment creating the very situation favorable to UNI
fair practices which it consistently proposes to

SELF-EXPRESSION
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

really did not matter; they pes
tered their offspring half to
death and repressed them in all
directions. So, in order to give the
kids chance to live, parents were
told to let them alonc-to permit
them self-eXpression.
Then the self-eXpression idea
was grabbed by lazy parents as
an excuse to shirk their parental
responsibility; it is much easier
for some parents to let their chill
drcn run wild than to make the
necessary effort to train them.
Sometimes parents are the
worst enemies children have
parents who are lazy, Indifferent,
and whose idle words and unde-
Sirable ideas and examples influ-
ence their children most unfor-
tunatcly.
A destructive remark made be-
fore fve-year-old child by a
parent may damage that child for
life by fixing an unwholesome
thought in the child's plastic
mind. And perhaps that harm
done the child was result of
harmful training the parent HIM
self received when a child. Thus
mans wrong notion may be due
to the way his grandfather
brought up his father.
To learn to carry himself hon
orably, to be fair in his dealings,
to be kind to his fellows, to be
tolerant, to By decent in his pri-
vate life and on the level in his
public life--that is the kind of
self-eXpression the child and the
man should be encouraged to
practice.
Let the child-and the world
have its way in the little things
which do not matter. But be stern
and uncompromising in the bic
things which do matter.

was formerly tenanted. She stated
that Mrs. Nole's actions had forced

In reply to numerous accusations,
the plaintiff claimed he ehad never
on any occasion struck his wife al
though Mrs. Catherine Norbart, an
other neighbor, testified to the fact
she had seen Mrs. Mole with finger
marks on her neck. The husband
maintained that this was probably
due to her playing with the baby
who had long finger nails. He also
denied giving her a black eye and

for some salt pork for the treatment
Of 1t. In her testimony, Mrs. Mole
claimed he had struck her.

Mrs. Annie Essex, mother Of Mrs.
Mole took the stand and admitted
that the couple should never have

Mole and had on one occasion struck
him also. When summing up EVIL
