AND THAD STEVENS MADE THIS ACT
FAMOUS

In Reconstruction Days, when the Black RepuO-
can purpose was to force unlimited negro suffrage
on the South to make it conquered province
it was made federal felony for citizens OF any
state to "conspire" to deny any citizen any right
guaranteed under federal law. The full force OF
the Department of Justice is about to be used TO
apply this discredited statute to labor dispute 10
send some employers to penitentiares.
The political purpose of the whole Summer pro-
gram plainly is to keep business frying in all the
Juice of popular prejudice. Never in the history OF
this administration has there appeared more con-
sstent and poisonous attack on the whole profit
and capitalist system. ...-.
The purpose is to cruelty it in popular esteem
an election purpose-to intensity rather than to
relieve class hatred. 1t is the theory of the Cave
of Adullam strategy within the administration left
wing to mobilize all American discontents-plus an
effort to buy the 1888 elections by an unprecedent-
ed outpouring of nonresident federal pap. In the
opinion of this writer it is the most nsincere, dema
gogic and despcabe political effort that has been
made in this country during his lifetime.-General

AN ANCIENT POEM

The banks of the United States, great and small,
the thousands of banks from New York to Cross
Road Court House, bullying with deposits for
the banks do not seem able to find abundant COM
mercia loans, but the United States is now about
to lend from its treasury great sums to the public
utilities, which same we have been taught to
believe. are predatory and piratical conspiracies
against the public veal. Old folks may remember
that in the reading book when they went to school
was poem called THE Maniac" Boys used to
declaim it Friday afternoons. 1t was about per-
fectly rational lad who locked up by cruel
enemies in an insane asylum; in the poem, he cried,
Il am not mad! l am not mad!', and, finally, in
the last verse he yelled, II am not mad but soon
will bem The time is coming when there would be
safety and satisfaction in living in the Wilderness,
with cloth of camePs hair about ones loins and
with locusts and wild honey for food. One might
be cheerful if one could get away from govern
ments.-Charleston News and Courier

LIES MIRROR In WANT ADS

Even the want ads now have a week of their
own-and this is it. National Want Ad Week off
cially opened yesterday and will close April 20.
As a matter of fact, the want ad is really quite
an institution in itself 1t has advanced in prestige
and Importance enormously through the years and
today is prominent part Of every alert newspaper.
About the want ads those little messages tucked
away on a page of their own usually IN the rear
section of the paper there is fascination.
They are story of life, of the ups and the
downs OF community, of its joys and its tragedies.
They reverberate with the hum of industry and the
stir of domesticity.
A two-line item about lost dog may mean little
TO the casual reader but perhaps it is message
sent out by some youngster who is hoping ind hop
ing each minute that its word will catch the eye of
person who has his dog; A sale of household
furniture may be the aftermath of domestic trag-
edy, a broken home or it may be the sign of af-
fluence family replacing its used furniture with
new Swap ads represent an outbreaking of the
eternal urge to exchange. , ..-.,.. .. ..s. g..

to get factories operating and to
keep them operating by obtaining
management of business which
will insist on maintaining volume
of production even at the expense
of profits per unit.
The White House has stacks of
figures indicating that prices have
been kept unnecessarily high dur
ing depression periods at the ex-
pense of production volume and
employment. Typical among such
figures are the National City
Banks report that profits of 1920
industrial corporations averaged
lO.l per cent profit in 1886 and
lO.7 in 1887 despite that years
several bad months. ...
It is argued within the admin
istration, for instance, that the
automobile industry's profits OF
81 per cent on net worth in 1886
and 20 per cent in 1887 indicated
an ability to cut prices to increase
sales and insure greater produce
ton and employment. There NAV
| be bugs In such figuring, but the
President pays it much heed.

to permit a nuisance, or to be a

which it had lent farmers u cents pound three

for the increase in cost.

THE FUTURE ALTERS THE present
(By BRUCE CATION

1t is a pretty little picture which has
been held up for the edification of heed
less world by the Viennese geologist, Prof
FIX. Schaffer. $685.. ... -.
Professor Schaffer foresees the coming
Ola new ice age. Something queer is going
on under the surface Of our earth, as ne
sees it the solid ground is slowly humping
itself up-very slowly, but steadily, enough
to lower the annual temperature by frac-
ton of degree. If this goes, on (and ne
seems to suspect that it willy the tempera-
ture will drop just enough to bring new
sheet of glaciers down over the northern
hemisphere. .......
All of this won't happen tomorrow, even
if Professor Schaffer's diagnosis is correct;
but from the standpoint of geological time
the change is taking place at what amounts
to break-neck speed. 1t is the professors
belief that the new ice age will be upon US
within the next 1000 years.
Now of course it takes more than one
expert to make cataclysm, and any tim
orous mortal could undoubtedly find plenty
of biologists to disagree heartily with
everything that the Vienna expert has said.
But there is salutary little note of warn
ing in this gloomy picture which is worth
bearing in mind even if the picture itself
turns out to be wholly false.
We ordinarily take it for granted that
all our human activities take place in a
permanently stable, orderly world. The
solid earth, the open sky, the recurring
change of seasons-these, as we see them,
are the immutabIe framework within
which we work out our destinies as best
We can.
So, taking the earth for granted, We go
ahead and do our best-or our worst. We
devote our energies to all kind of struggles
that array man against man; to wars be-
tween nations, to combats between rich
and poor, to every conceivable kind of
class, racial, and group antagonism. On
these things, we tell ourselves, depends the
future of the human race"
But suppose the future of the human
race depends on nothing of the kind. Sup
pose, instead, that it depends on some in
calculable shift in the forces of nature it.
self; suppose that all of us, black and
white, rich and poor, American and Euro
pean and Asiatie, have only a few more
centuries to go before the flame goes out
and the earth becomes an unlit lamp swing
ing silently through everlasting night.
What then?
Would We, in such case, have the intelli-
genee to drop our petty squabbles and see
our human race for what it really is-a
unit, which holds Insecure footing on an
unpredictable planet, and which must work
together if the years which remain to it
are to be made endurable?
1t might take the shadow of approach
ing cosmic calamity to make US do that.
Looking at the world today, one must ad-
NIT that it would almost be worth the cost

for nearly half century and IN

J in the development, led US to call
on him for the history of a popu-

said Will Pace of the eastern side
of the county and recognized
about 40 years ago as one OF the
, county's most successful potato
growers, ordered what was de.
scribed as Beauty Of Beauties
from the VIM. Henry Maule seed
house of Philadelphia.
The success of the potato was
readily recognized and Mr.. Pace
sold seed to his neighbors, and
since Mills River was a great po-
tato-growing section the farmers
of that community planted the
new potato, which was soon rec
ognized as far superior to the
Burbank, which was the lead
ing local potato at that time.

ING: Mrs. J. R. Sandifer, official
gardener for the Blue Ridge
School for Boys, borrowed an
idea from Mr.. Williams, the Bear
Wallow purple rhododendron spe-
cialist, who gave her the names
/, of three kinds of corn with the
advice that she plant all at the
same time for roasting ears over
a long period, with the different
varieties coming into maturity 10
days to two weeks apart. This
somewhat simplifies the idea of
succession planting of one variety
10 to Is days apart. Seedsmen
can give you the information as
to growing period of each kind of
corn and this will enable you to
work out combination of two or
more good roasting ear varieties.
