Good Evening.
IT WON'T BE LONG
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

The time is very very short now Before young seniors take bow, With last few weeks spent in cramming, Into heads dates and theorems jamming, With time of to buy commencement clothes, Writing papers and essays and goodness knows What else in pre-commencement rackets, Boys getting fitted for first dress jackets. The time isn't very very far away, Seniors are immersed in the class play, Planning where to plant the class tree, Finishing up papers Is America Free? Reading proofs for the class book, Wondering about the daisy chain how you'll look, Worrying that you'll forget someone's invitation, Hating like the deuce to learn the class oration, Figuring just what average you rate If and when you graduate. It won't be very very long now, So start in practicng on that bow.

NO INCONSISTENCY

A northern newspaper correspondent shows his
lack of understanding of racial relations in the
South in writing about Senator Ellison d. Smith
and one of the senator's negro friends.
Just outside the office of Secretary Wallace, the
correspondent reports, hangs photograph of Cot
ton Ed on which is inscribed, "To Edward Crockett
from his friend, E. D. Smith" Edward Crockett is,
and has been since the days of Woodrow Wilson, a
colored messenger in the department
Yet, the correspondent adds, as if he had dscov-
cred a great inconsistency, Senator Smith cam
paigned for denomination this year on white SUI
premacy platform.
Innumerable southern negroes can and do count
on innumerable southern white men as their
friends and both know that the white men see eye
to eye with Senator Smith on the necessity for
white supremacy
Many of our northern friends like the CORE
spondent in this case, fail to understand it-but
usually those who come from the north to live with
us in short time do.-Greenville Piedmont.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
MORE FARM CONFUSION

What to do about the farm surplus? With a
raallv striking resemblance to the Greek Fures
the nuestion returns to plague government which
not only has failed to solve the difficulties in this
most resurgent of political and economic head
acbas Init has actually encouraged the farmer to
,ooL increasingly to Washington for disposition of
his troubles ...,s.
Consider a few recent developments. On Thurs
5av President Roosevelt was said by Senator Lee
of Oklahoma to be in agreement on the principle
fbat "tbe domestic market should be allotted at a
fo;r nrca to the farmer" If this means anything,
# means that some sort of price-ixing is being
considered by the White House, for a subsidy can
NOT "ouarantee" any return above the amount of
subsidy.
Meanwhile Secretary Wallace is making frantic
efforts to head off popular agrarian demand for
nrice fixing. Instead, he wants to substitute a
processing tax plus consumption subsidy. But, If
tbaro ;s thus an apparent difference of opinion be-
+1v;eean President and Secretary of Agriculture,
+b;s is matched bv differences within the Secre-
+or,,s own department Quite logically and cor
rroctIv many in that branch of government feel
that whatever good effects may be achieved by
moving cotton into trade via the consumption sub
sidv route will be offset, as far as disposition OF
the crop is concerned, by the processing taxes.
Ono NAV not entirely cancel the other but a con-
sentative estimate, based past performances Is
that at least half of the additional cotton which
NAV he consumed as a result of goVernment-aided
purchasing power by the underprivileged will be
negated by the buyer resistance engendered by
processing taxes. ....,... ....7.,,. -.
Confusion twice confohnded, for fair. But this
is not all. Even as Secretary Hull is still working
doggedly to expand world markets through trade
agreements Senator Lee also asserts that the Pres
ident is considering a plan based on division OF
world markets by agreement This, in principle, is
directly opposed to the Hull program.
Finally. we are confronted with plan, also from
certain individuals in the agriculture department,
which would give manufacturers free cotton to be
made into work garments, thus increasing con-
sumption Theoretically of such goods That this
plan would compromise our whole retail system,
which rests on the price-market factor is evident
to anyone with reasonably adequate knowledge
of economics ...~..
Opponents of planned farm economy need not
iubiate at all this 1t is too very near the tragic
for anyone to cheer. But once again are we re-
minded of the chaos into which controlled produc-
ton must sink unless we invoke rigorous manda-
tory centralized control-a proposition which the
vast majority of our citizens farmers or not shun

THE WAY 1T is GOING

dispatch from Washington says that the cur
rent budget for this fiscal year (1938-39) esti-
mates spending of $685., 900, income of $5,-
OO.270, 900, and a net deficit Of $3,984,ss7, 900.
This is the way the Federal Government is being
managed fiscally and financially
1t analyses to be like this when applied to an
Individual:
One is yearly earning $4,000 as the whole of
his income and the same one is annually spending
approximately $4,000 in living expenses-net re-
suit $4,000 in the hole at the end of the year.
Keep on doing this long enough and that indi-
vidual will find himself hOpelessly entangled.
1t is not otherwise with the Federal Government.
The end of the sort of fiscal policy now being
practiced is sure, definite and inevitable.
No New Deal magic prevent that end from
some day being reached. And it is certain disaster
when it comes.-Charotte Observer,

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 25. (UP)-A
survey of high school students in
this city showed that a lack OF
purpose in life is responsible fGr

high school studies, according To-

George R. Johnson, director OF

Johnson said these pupils at

"well-adjusted" pupils, retire al

more automobile driving, smoke
more cigarettes, study less at
home and have less interest III
continuing their education.

"The well-adjusted pupils, on

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
aY RODNEY BUTCHER

IN New York the formal deliv-
cred price for milk is 1894 cents a
quart and the store price runs be-
tween II and Is cents, usually
settling at IL. But if you have a
certain blue Identification card,
you can 60 to one of the ITO city
milk depots and buy practically
the same quart-a shade less but
terfat-at eight cents. This also
is Glass fluid milk. Farmers get
5.3 cents a quart for it, which
means 6.25 or 6.5 cents delivered
in the city. Milk distributing cor
porationS buy it and deliver it to
the depots for sale at eight cents
TO the blue card holders.
To get a card, the head of a
family must sign a statement that
he is unable to buy milk at the
regular store price, state the num-
Der of people in his family and the
number on welfare or home relief.
The way it works out, most of the
depot customers are persons on di-
rect relief or WPA. Cards must
be renewed every three months.
,Depots open at $50 a. m. and
remain open until $3.50. A truck
drives up and unloads trays of
milk bottles, AN attendant passes
out the milk to the people stand
ing in line. Another checks milk
cards to see how much each
customer is entitled to. Cards are
punched. The man who sells the
milk works for the company. The
man who checks and punches
cards usually is NPA worker
provided by the city. Depots usu-
ally are vacant stores or baby
health centers. Thus the city in
ours no extra cost for handling,
refrigeration, rent and so on. Pre-
sumably the milk companies lose
no money on the deal. They dis
patch one truck only to a given
spot, sell in very little time with
out solicitation, suffer no bottle
losses because customers must
present empties.

WTASHlNGTON.-New York has
" a two-price system. Boston
has another. In each city milk
is sold to poor people at much
less than the regular retail price.
The Boston plan, under which
WPA families buy milk at two
cents a quart while most Boston
families pay IL or Is cents quart,
operates on a substantial federal
subsidy. The New York plan in
wolves no subsidy except. the mu-
nicipal contribution of supervision.
Although neither plan can be
said to be model on which the
Department of Agriculture is sure
to base two-price system for any
specific farm product, both are
usually mentioned in any discus
sion of the two-price idea by the
two-price thinkers. Each is sep-
arate from plans under which mu-
inequalities give free milk to desti-
tute families.
In Boston the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation. which
ordinarily only buys surplus COM
moditles from farmers to give
them away through state and local
agencies to those on direct relief,
buys milk at the Glass 1 price
winch Means most of it at 7h
cents quart-and gives it to the
city. The city pays two cents a
quart to commercial milk COM
panles Tor pasteurizing and bot
'iing, where upon the milk is avail
aole-to EPA families only-at
TWO cents. Behind all sais is 4
teoeral effort to hold up the Class
mud milk price for New Eng
land farmers. Milk classed under
federal order as "surplus'-the
same kind of milk-is sold at less
than three cents a quart. The
oretically this milk might be
bought at such a price and sold to
she poor at that price plus posi-
Die three cents for processing and
distribution cost. ~

for a people accustomed to indie
pendent thinking, who love free
dom and are individually interest
ed in government. Really the de-
mocracy is for a people who are
highly developed mentally and

love freedom we are not yet suf-
ficiently developed mentally and
spiritually to make a success of
our democracy. At present. we are
merely messing along with it.
Whether we can acquire what, 1T
takes-become informed, alert
and responsible as, to the demands
of democratic government before
we lose our democratic govern
ment, is a vital question. Unless
we Americans do rise to the oc-
casion and demonstrate we are
fit, for self-government, we shall
sooner OF later lose self-govern-
ment.
Persons with the souls of slaves,
or of outlaws, can never make a
democracy succeed. The democra-
cy calls for sincere, honest, I'M
selfish, patriotic devotion to pub
lie duty and public welfare. 1t
calls for the type of citizenry
which is committed to a govern
ment of the people, by the people
and for the people, and which is
determined to make that govern
