D.,; Oct. 22, 1934.) It was rather amusing to read the complaint of a government official regarding farmers whose lands have been purchased by the government as sub-marginal, and who, instead of accepting the government's offer to refinance them on more profitable and smaller farms, as this officer puts it, “refuse any further help from the government and beat it.” can you blame them for their act? Here they have been trying year in over heels in debt, and each year along comes the government with an offer to buy them out, giving them some cash for their holdings, and! leaving them free as the air. On the other hand, these farmers and their families have grown to hate debt as they say the devil hates holy water, and they realize very clearly what even the best of government offers may mean. Farms of from 20 to 40 acres are to be supplied in more favorable parts of the state, but these farms are by no means to be con- strued as a gift. The prices will rate of 4¢%, which would mean the sum of $180.00 will be required each year to make interest payments alone, to say nothing of taxes and the many other expenses incidental to farming. After all, such places can be con- sidered little more than truck farms, and every truck farmer knows that in @ normal year he has a hard time to make ends meet. Of course in such @ year as this has been, those able to Produce vegetables and garden truck when the great majority of gardens were destroyed, can make some money. Farmers have been doing some thinking during the last few months, and have determined that if once they are free of their farms and have @ little money to go on, they are! going to show both state and govern- ment a clean pair of heels. In other| words, while they do appreciate what the government is trying to do for them, nevertheless they feel they can do better elsewhere. Many of them will return to their old homes in the eastern part of the country. Others will go elsewhere, but wherever they Go the one big effort of their lives will be to stay out of debt if possible, not to incur more and more indebted- ness. It seems as though the government is cursed with the Midas touch. Everything it touches turns to gold. Straw and other roughage, usually considered practically worthless, is bringing unheard of prices because} the government is in the market buy-| ing feed to save starving livestock in the drouth area. Farmers in fav- orable localities are not sharing the burdens placed upon the shoulders of | their unfortunate brothers elsewhere. | Their products are bringing good | Prices, yet they are holding for still higher prices, adding to the mis- fortune of those who must buy or! see their stock perish. i We believe there is altogether too! much prating of brotherhood and) brotherly love, and not enough of it, being practiced!

There is nothing static or immutable in our manner of doing things. By no visible stretch of the imagination can recent happen- ings be interpreted in such a way as to mean that we are headed for de- cadence, As the 20th century sweeps into its stride we see mighty leviathans plow- ing the seas. Giant aeroplanes wing their way through the sky. Monsters of steel and iron rush across the plains, carrying passengers and mer- chandise to and fro, We see an in- dustrial expansion of such magnitude stead of the humble dwelling places of our ancestors, we see triumphs of modern architecture—houses of beau- ty beyond comparison. We see giant structures of steel and concrete tow- ering above the business districts of our big cities aud machines that mul- tiply our power of production a hun- cred fold. All these things are the products of the human mind. And yet the hu- man mind stands appalled before a catatosphere so far-reaching in its ef- fects that there is scarcely an indivi- dual in this broad land of ours who ras not suffered in one way or an- The world as a whole has been in which we call depression. Pictorially monster symbolizes the spirit of greed and everything that is low and mean and despicable in human nature. It is a stimulating challenge to hu- man intelligence. Shall our boasted civilization perish? With victory in our grasp must it be reduced to a mere empty shell? Our civilization represents everything that men have dreamed of and struggled for since the beginning of time and to preserve it for ourselves and posterity must of necessity be of paramount impor- tance. The anatomy of our social it must be our hope and our desire to remedy these glaring deficiencies. While all the world was sad and dreary and at a time when our spirits were submerged in the nethermost depths of despair—during a period of stress and trials and tribulations and misery—there arose in our midst a man whose flaming sword was un- sheathed in a fight for the poor, the oppressed, the downtrodden and the lowly—a man who made his watch- word “human rights must be given Precedence before property rights”— that man was Franklin D. Roosevelt. For the first time for many years we have a real man in the White House. The “New Deal” gives expression to the sentiments and wishes of the American people. While it is far from. Perfect it is a step in the right di- rection. Ever since its inception I have been @ loyal supporter of the “New Deal.” I fail to see, however, the need of supporting a man for governor of this state who two years ago went on rec- ord as opposed to the present national edministration. In his editorial in the Williston Herald Oct. 27, 1933, Tom Moodie voiced the following opinion: “Whatever the outcome of this election no agricultural milleni- um will be ushered in.” “The Demo- cratic platform reveals that Mr. Roo- sevelt and his party are bound to sub- stantially nothing so far as agricul- ture is concerned.” Can the leopard change his spots? Here is one at least—that don't be- eve it! KNUTE OLEVICK. Editor's Note—In 1932 Moodie, as editor of the Williston Herald, announced that he, " was for Roosevelt but that the majority of the stockholders fav- ored Hoover and the newspaper would support the Republican no- minee. In such circumstances an editor is bound to follow the policy laid down for him, It would be interesting to know how Mr, Olevick and others like him reconcile their support of Roosevelt with support of those who have bitterly attacked him. The two things do not seem to jibe. Perhaps Mr. Olevick will write another letter explaining that.- * « escenaing into the stratosphere an estimated 10 miles in a flight that began in Detroit, Mich., Jean Piccard and his wife brought their huge balloon with attached gondola to earth in a tree top on an iso- lated farm four miles west of Cadiz, O.
