NO COMFORT FOR THE SOUTH

No comfort to the South is contained in the
possibility that the socalled wages and hours meas
rre will be finally enacted in the probability
that the cotton acreage restriction policy will con-
tinue to be followed 1t may be too drastic to say
that the South is coming more and more to be
treated as the stepehd of the nation, but there are
signs that this is exactly the case. For example,
the antlynching bill, which, as this is written, Is
scheduled to come up once more IN the senate, IS
aimed directly at the South. There is not the
slightest need for measure OF this KIND, as Is
shown clearly enough by the latest report OF the
Puskegee Institute department of records and re-
search which reveals that only eight lynchlngs oc-
Cured during all of 1887. This to be sure, is just
eight too many, but it reveals much progress to-
ward stamping out completely the evil of lynching
The number of lynchings during each decade has
been reduced steadily for the last fifty years, which
is in itself good reason for believing that the
South eventually will be able to eliminate lynchirg
entirely Another interesting fact contained IN the
Tuskegee Institute report is that oflcers OF the
law prevented lynchings in the South IN tlfty-one
instances Isn't that a good sign that southern
law enforcement officials, backed by public opinion,
are doing best to reduce lynching to the van
ishing point? And yet it is more than possible
that the so-called anti-lynching law, with all the
attempted federal coercion and invasion OF states
rights which it embodies, Will be approved by the
United States senate. 1t already has been approved
by the house of representatives. Clearly, the South
is going to have to protest, and to protest Vigor-
ously and loudly, unless it is willing to see more
and more of its rights taken away and submerged
in the powers of vast centralized bureaucracy.
| What is the South going to do about it? Unless
an answer is given soon, and action taken, it is
going to be too late to answer and too late for
action.-TeXas Weekly

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SAY NOT so!

Mr. Roosevelt's Jackson Day dinner address, de-
livered, it must be recalled, more expression
of the Democratic partys titular head than Of the
president although the two positions hoplessly
ntertwned, echoed the theme upon which lesser
lights of his administration have recently harped
and are continuing to harp and upon which the
chief executive himself dwelt in his message to the
congress-
The present fight, and far into the future is to
be waged with compromise upon that "small
minority of business men, bankers and indus
trialists which intends to make struggle ito the
last ditch to retain autocratic control' over the
country's economy, reiterated the nations head
"a mere handful the president conceived this
group to be. The situation, as Mr. Roosevelt en-
visioned it in the fifth year of his administra
ton of public affairs, is illustrated by -four per
cent of the ownership of securities controlling the
other GO per cent; a situation obtaining now
wherein "a 96-inch dog" sis being wagged by a
four-inch tail"
Prior to this depletion of the present state OF
events, responsible by presidential declaration for
whatever recession find upon us, Mr.. Roosevelt
by inference at least portrayed himself as combl-
nation Observation-Disclosures -Cleyeland-J. r.
Woodrow Wilson. Copied with this self-styled type
of leadership there has been for the administra-
ton which enjoys its overwhelming control at
Washington for five years. Yet, under these con-
ditons, after 'swe' had planned it differently and
enacted endless remedial legislation during the
fifth year, with all the opportunity, the power,
the control and the majority support possessed by
the government during the interval it is confessed
that four per cent of security holders doml-
nate their respective field, broadening into inter
ference with and control of the national economy;
the all-powerful government, speaking and operat-
ing for SO per cent of investors and the public is
wagged by minority tail that, numerically, is so
small you can, hardly see it.
How much of admission of governmental inn
potence or failure does that lack of being anyway?
If all that the president says is true, Democratic
processes, certainly they have operated in these
last few planned years, face the sort of indictment
that their avowed and professed defenders ought
to do anything but shout from the housetops.-

But there Is another way to
look at the thing: Perhaps after
all, this world is a grade,-like a
grade in grammar school, -pos-
sibly the first grade. You expect
so much and no more of children
in the first grade. They will al
ways be that kind of children,
with approximately the same
amount of mental development ;
doing the same things; making
the same mistakes. When and if
they learn something in the first
grade they pass on to the next
grade, where they learn little
more. But anybody who expects
ever to find a college, OF a high
school, or even a grammar school
graduate in the first grade of
grammar school, is hoping fool.

J. w. Johnson, prominent as a news

ideas and methods in agriculture, Mr..
Johnson has been especially interested IN
informing his fellow Iowans about condl-
tons on the farms in this mountain coun-
try in North Carolina. .u.-- q. ;..a
As an example of the character OF the
matter he has been sending to Iowa news
papers, we quote some paragraphs from
an Oskaloosa newspaper, appearing in an
article written by Mr.. Johnson: -
eff any Iowa farmer thinks the 'Tar-Heels' IN
North Carolina do not know how to farm, do not
understand care of the soil, the value and method
of rotation of crops, the value of fertilizers what
balanced ration does for animals, why modern
methods in dairying pay better than just one crop

which livened the holidays and
stirred the ire of Democratic and
other conservatives.
The President, in his message to
Congress, reiterated practically
everything Jackson and Ickes had
said-in a nice, polite way.
The first of these facts is known
to the inner circle of presidential
advisers and suspected by all
acute observers. 1t ought to be
obvious to everyone.
The second fact is plainly Wis
ible to anyone who lays the jack
Son-IckeS speeches side by side
with the presidential message.
1t may seem surprising that the
President and his friends should
seek to cover up or blur these very
essential facts and that the PreSl-
