clared sin by the synod of the
Dutch Reformed church in South AZ

The initiative toward this end has
been taken by the presbytery ruling
of the churches in the Bloemfontein
area, which unanimously adopted a
motion requesting the synod to give
a more explicit ruling on modern
dancing.

Anti-New Dealers in Control.
Some Of my fellow Southerners
who do not agree that Roosevelt
can have practically all Of the
Southern delegations if he asks for
them point out that in several
Southern States party machinery is
IN control Of anti-New Deal groups.
There are, of course, many ways of
employing this machinery to dictate
choices contrary to the real will If
party members. In some States the
Democratic Executive Committee, is
permitted, If 1t chooses, to name the
delegation to the national conven-
ton without any popular vote at
all. But If Roosevelt should run
again, his candidacy would be too
big, too dramatic, too advertised
thing in the South to permit manipu-
lation OF party machinery against
him. In one way or other, the issue
he would represent would have to
be Joined and the Southern delega-
tons would have to reflect the popu-
lar will. And that would be for
Roosevelt.
Ku Klux Khan May Bob Up.
The Ku Klux Khan may play
part in the South in 1910. It has
been sick unto death, but attempts
to revive 1t are getting sympathetic
interest from some of the very
groups which once despised it most.
Wealthy conservatives who feel that
the country is going Communist

OF public money and jobs is being
successfully employed to keep the
Roosevelt crowd in control are look

find troops of white-robed and
cowled men on horseback these are

instruments of a Providence willing
to wink at the worst, to be rid of
Roosevelt. Fascism of the European
brand is hateful to the South as to
Americans elsewhere, but the home
brewed kind that goes under other
names is acceptable when occasion
calls.
Anti Catholicism Still Alive.
OF New Dealers the two who would
have hardest shedding in the South
are Farley and Murphy. There is
no particular feeling against them
now, but let either become a likely
nominee and his Catholicism would
resurrect bitterness and division
comparable to that which broke the
solid South against Smith in 1928
McNutt May Be the Solution.
AS for Paul McNutt, there is too

the White House has embarrassed
both sides in the South There is

The Social Security Board has
recommended to the Civil Service
Commission that nearly 500 en-

The board, a civil service agency

not advisable to have a mixture of
civil service and non-civil service
workers in the consolidated unit
which is now in the Federal Security

They were shocked at the at

which Southern industry has been

for opposing or being lukewarm to
any lesser New Dealers like Wal

do not argue against the great one.

Negro Issue Fly in Ointment.

There is only one issue on which
the plain voters of the South would
desert the President and the party
now, and that is the Negro. If it
should appear that the Negro vote
in the North and East had become
more valuable and concession
worthy than the white one in the
South to the only political party in
which the South counts. then there
would be political revolution below
the Potomac Such a revolution may
be in sight-but not in 1910 and not
against Roosevelt as he stands.
Those who, like the writer, believe
that whatever the merits or dement's
Of the New Deal neither the country
nor Roosevelt can endure four more
years of the bitterness and division
for which the present administra-
ton stands, may regret it, but this
is the fact. Roosevelt can have the
South, and he is the only New Dealer
who can have it. He can probably
have even Jack Gamers Texas, al
though Garner could beat any lesser
New Dealer there and everywhere
else between the Potomac and the
Rio Grande. Undoubtedly this stu

The Holmes County Health Depart

tions to prevent the spread Of tn
berculosis. This. of course, involves
first the discovery Of all active cases
in the county. Such cases must be
isolated and given rigid instructions
regarding measures o be taken to
prevent he spread Of the disease.
Patients should be isolated either IN
a sanatorium or to a place away
from Immediate contact witch the
family. Sputum must be property
disposed of, and all dishes and an
ticles properly sterilized.
Within recent years the tubercu-
losis or Burr cottage has come into
use in isolating the tuberculosis pa
tient. This is a small cottage With
room enough for a bed, table and a
chair. The little house Is built to
admit the maximum of sunlight and
ventilation. two factors very neces-
sary for the patient.
All contacts of tuberculosis patients
are tuberculin tested and examined
to see whether or not they have con
tracted the disease. If there is
any suspicion hat the contact is in
fected, he is then referred to a hos
pital Of our tuberculosis field unit
for an X-ray.
The tuberculosis field unit plans
to visit Holmes county during the
week of January 20. Contacts will
be examined at that time. Further
information regarding The field unit
will appear al a later date.
Our nurses are very active in visit
