IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Sometimes it is just a little confusing. Back in
1932 the Republican party adopted a platform which,
among other things, declared that “the fundamental
problem of American agriculture is the control of pro
duction to such a volume as will balance supply with
deni aid.” Equally inconsistent the Democrats went
on record against the “unsound policy of restricting ag
ricultural production to the demands of the domestic
market.”
The Democrats under the now outlawed farm pro
gram. found it necessary to restrict agricultural produc
tion, for which one would naturally expect the Repub
licans to cheer in view of the fact that they went on re
cord for control of production. But no. Rather they be
gan shouting to high heaven against the very thing they
had written into their own platform. Apparently, it
makes a great difference just who is going to do this
crop controlling—Exchange.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK

Edgar G. Harris, publisher of the West Point, Miss.
Daily Times Leader, president of the Tupelo, Miss.
Daily News, and chairman of the Daily Press section
of he Mississippi Press Association, says:
“Wright A. Patteron, president of the Western
Newspaper Union, touches on a very vital subject when
he says: ‘The circulation of large city newspapers in
rural communities develops among the people of these
communities the city buying habit. The effective ad
vertising of the big stores attracts business away from
the home town, and in time the home town as a mar
ket place has passed out of the picture. When it does
the local newspaper is buried in the same grave.’
“Considered from this standpoint, the regional or
local daily or weekly is even more important to the
town or city in which it is published than it is to the
owner or publisher. There is no getting around the
fact that the trade of a town or city follows the circula
tion of the local newspaper, just as civilization follows
the flag.
“Your town or city is not going to advance very
far unless your local newspaper blazes the way. And
your local newspaper is not going to be the sort of

newspaper necessary to gain and maintain a complete
coverage in the logical trade radius of your town or
city unless it has the wholehearted support of your mer
chants and business men.
“Aggressive business men in many of the small
cities of the country are coming to understand and ap
preciate the importance of the home newspaper, and
ihe day is not far distant when local Chambers of Com
merce vyill make one of their main objectives an annual
drive for increased newspaper circulation in the logical
trade radius of their respective communities.”_
WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
(Continued From Page One)
In 1737, George Washington
was toddling around under foot
at the age of five. Tallow candles
furnished the means of illumina
tion. The site of the present city
of Pittsburgh was in the far and
unknown west. The shoemaker
went from farm to farm, building
rugged and enduring footwear
for the family on the spot. Any
one having even a fragmentary
knowledge of history can add
many details to the picture. It
shows things as they were 199
years ago. Two bad men in Chi
cago have been sentenced to a
prison term of that duration. If
they could survive the incarcera
tion, what sort of a world would
greet them when they became
free men again in the year 2135
Let us not flatter ourselves into
thinking that the appliances and
garments of 1930 would have a
value other than as museum ex
hibits, or that our customs would
furnish more than ground for a
good story. All that we shall re
ceive in 2135 will be indulgent
credit for having lived the simple
life of the good old days.
In an address directed to the
Daughters of the American Rev
olution, in session in Washington,
the President reaffirms his faith
in the good neighbor policy and
in the reduction of armaments,
but adds: “Defence must be ad
equate, not sectionally adequate,
but nationally adequate.” If
there is controversy over the cor
rectness of that statement, Haile
Selassie should be called as an
expert witness.
Venice is being troubled with
floods. This is the time for some
enterprising Italian merchant to
advertise skid chains for gondo
las.
The firmness with which such
phrases as: He couldn’t take it,
Let the purchaser beware, and
Every man for himself, are em

bedded in common speech, tends
toward the assumption that the
hard boiled state is normal, and
the assumption is likely to be
come a conclusion if the thinker
has travelled the rough and rug
ged road that leads to middle life.
Now and then something comes
along that disturbs the “I should
worry” philosophy. Up in Nova
Scotia, three men had the misfor
tune to be trapped in a mine. The
papers were scanned morning and
night for news of their plight, &
when the presses were at rest, th
radio was turned on for an as
suring word. Mr. Ripley has
abundant material with which to
admonish us that, believe it or
not, hard boiling goes no deeper
than the surface.
