Hoover Tells Us Whats Wrong

Herbert Hoover Tells In Exclusive Interview That
America Must Do Next-Caption of article in current
magazine.
Mr.. Hoover says IL or IA million people must be
put back to work in productive jobs in industry, not
underpaid fruitless WPA jobs.
He says the recession is not another depression
but a repression; that we have the same country, sl tne
ed workers and farmers and resources. Yet we are
scared to death.
That fear instilled into the hearts and minds of
millions of Americans is caused mostly by them being
afraid of what the government might do, Mr.. Hoover
believes. Each group has a different reason to fear.
Mr.. Hoover says he does not blame the welfare
legislation of the New Deal for our present state OF
filters. In that he is unique and outstanding as a Re-
publican who does not blame everything from the STOCK
market to the itch on the New Deal.
The solution Mr.. Hoover gives is election in 1910

Herbert Hoover is certainly right when he says we

ing about.
But we can do something about that fear business.
AS we have stated before in these columns we believe
that fear is the greatest enemy we have today. If we
can submerge that fear in work and planning and hope
we will have done a great deal to bring ourselves out OF
the slump.
The trouble is we have come to the point today
where we think there must be somebody or something
to bring us out of our slump. We have ceased to re-
gard ourselves as being responsible for conditions and
look to other forces for our salvation.
And right there is where the New Deal mas done
its harm. in the lessening of individual responsibility
and initiative. in letting the government take respon-
sibnity for peoples lives and well-being. How long
will it be before we again realize that the government

All Clubs Train Youth

Next week leading members of the All clubs in
Holmes county will attend an annual club congress at
State College. These boys and girls are the leaders
in their different clubs and its activities.
None of the activities carried on by the govern
ment are more important than the work of training
the young people on the farm to do their work in the
most economical and time-saving way through the All
clubs and its farm program.
These boys and girls are the farmers of Tomorrow
and they are going to be better farmers than their ia
theirs are. Farming is a science and if one would
be a successful farmer scientific methods have to be
applied.
The progressive program employed by the county
agents and home demonstration agents to aid the farm
families in each community is building a better farm
citizenry for our future. !. a citizenry that will lay more
stress on individual initiative rather than political sub
sdy.

Mississippi senotors; Service Important Thing,

Mississippi Senators; Service important Thing,
A campaign Of Pat Harrison for President has been
launched.
Senator Bilbo, when asked if he would support
Harrison, is quoted as saying, Hell NO"
Now it's perfectly alright for Pat Harrison to be
launched for president. He is a fine man ana woula
make a representative president a credit to the mns sGu IN
and the United States. We don't beileve ne coulo DC
elected because he is from the south.
It is perfectly alright for Bibo to dislike Pat Har-
rison. He is a human being and has a right to IKE
and dislike whom he pleases. ITS airlgnt 0 nv" 70
answe Hell No" to questions put TO MIN.
Rnt the thing that strikes us about the incident is
that the attitudes of both senators are unbecomlng a
southern gentleman. men OF thelr posltion meu
who are big enough to represent a whole state and YET
retain personal animosities to the point OF opposing
each other in public.
Whatever their personal feelings these two gen
tlemen should not carry their fight at home out into the
public ring at Washington.
Bitter factions in Mississippi support their two sides.
Each side knows it is right and is honest In that pehel.
We are for neither. We have no personal ak to
But we do want a united Mississippi. a state with
every bit Of small, personal feeling between individuals
cast aside and working for the development ana au-
vancement of our entire state.
Mississippi cannot afford to lose the best efforts
Of every one of her officials and servants and citizens
working toward a united harmonious state. The cnain
ia no stronger than it's weakest link and II we wOuid
have our state catch up with and pass other states IN
our own southland we are going to have to become more
~broadminded, be more tolerant and become bigger per-
sons.
No state or community can thrive on petty jealous
les and malice. Some day we will realize that.
We feel like Governor White who said the other
day he did not care which senator got credit Tor the
money from Washington for the roads as long as ne
got the money.
It is the state of Mississippi that is important
and its senators are important only in the degree they
serve its best interests.

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 19.-(AP)-
A vast relief organization stood ready
today to meet any emergency that
may arise if severe tropical hur-

Florida strikes the coast tomorrow,
as indicated by its present movement.
With storm flags already flying

Weather Bureau urged all interests to
take precautions against the blow,
which Meteorological Gordon Dunn
said might hit anywhere from Palm
Beach southwark to the keys" 81
He declared the disturbance as of
large area, and moving unusually
fast. This was borne out by radio
message received at the bureau here
from the steamship Corrales, which
advised it rode through "a severe hur-
ricane" in West Indian waters last
night. The ship reported the storm
was moving west by north about 20
miles an hour, and was attended by
