A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them,
and three sabbath reasoned with them out of the
scriptures.—Acts 17:2.
He that win not reason is a bigot; he that cannot
reason is a fool, and he that dares not reasoft is a
slave.—Sir W. Drummond.
THE SOUTH’S MINERAL RESOURCES
Statistics show that the South leads in mineral pro-
‘ ductions, especially is this true of iron and steel.
Ninety-nine per,cent of the nation’s surphur was ship
ped last year from two Southern ports and an equal
amount of the country’s phosphate was produced by
two Southern states.
An article appearing in Holland’s Magazine of the
South, Arthur Coleman, an authority on the mineral
ahd industrial interests of the South, gives facts and
interesting figures on the progress made in recent
years in this section of the country.
He says, "During the past year, over 32 per cent
of the nation’s mineral value came from Southern
mines. More than $2,000,000,000—II per cent of the
productive power of the entire South. A $2,000,000,-
000 industry in less than half a century. A business
the value of whose products has multiplied 15.6 times
in 25 years, as compared with a multiplication of the •
entire crvr'try’s mineral values by 5.6 during the
same period. if
‘"I'm new South produces 99 per cent of the coun
try’s graphite and carbon black, 93 per cent of its as
phalt, 85 per cent of its fuller’s earth, 63 per cent of
its petroleum, 57 per cent of its zinc, 50 per cent of its
quicksilver, 45 per cent of its lead, 44 per cent of its
coal. In short, of 66 minerals produced in this coun
try in considerable quantities, the South alone gives
the nation 30, in quantities ranging from 25 to 100
per cent o2 the country’s whole.
"There’s coal in the hills of the Virginias, Kentucky
and Alabama and Oklahoma and Tennessee. Be
neath those corn patches, ragged though they be,
may lie many honest coal deposits. In fact, it is prac
tically certain they do lie there; lor while the South
mined more than 273,000,000 tons in 1927, it left be
neath the surface, as far as can be estimated, well
over half a trillion tons. Enough for more than 2,-
. 000 years’ supply, it would appear.
. -.jf“Several yfeers ago, the iron and steel centers in
Pennsylvania declared that the South Could never
compete with the East in the quality of iron and steel.
But two years ago, when the Steel Corporation’s
plants in the latter section were running at but half
capacity, the Alabama plants of the Steel Corporation
were runn'rg day and night, at full capacity, to care
for their trade.”
Not only in the mineral line, but from every other
standDoint of development the South has shown won
derful strides. In the industrial and manufacturing
fipids, no section of the country can boast of a greater
amount of development. Manufacturin'; plants are
moving from the East to the South and at the present
rate of immigration, this section of the country will,
within the next few years, become the industrial cen
ter of'the nation.

A MOTHER SENDS HER BOY TO JAIL
If an 18-year-old boy, arrested for robbery, should
escape from jail nnd run home to his mother, you
would hardly blame the mother if she should help
him make his escape good. It would be easy to un
derstand how her love could overbalance her know
ledge that he really ought to pay for his crime.
But an Illinois youth of that age, jailed in JTentucky
for robbery, escaped and went home—and his moth
er sent him back to jaii. He reappeared at the jail a
day or so later, saying his mother had told him to re
turn and "take his medicine” and lead a better life
thereafter.
That young man’s mother evidently was a lady of
considerable strength of character. She refused to
give way to unwise emotionalism when she could have
been easily excused for doing so.

THE FEAR OF BOND ISSUES
American tax-payers seem to have lost their tra
ditional fear of big bond issues.
In the last election Missouri voted $75,000,000 for
good roads. Iowa voted $100,000,000 for the same
purpose. Kansas also voted for a new state road sys
tem. Other states followed suit with smaller
amounts.
This is highly important. The automobile and hard
surfaced roads have done more than any other thing
.to knit our country together. Every dollar spent for
good roads is a dollar spent for the further unification
■and development of the nation. The result of the vo
tes on these huge bond issues indicates that the vo
ters have ,"ome to realize that.
NEW YORK’S VIc.OUS CIRCLE
It might be a good thing if city planners and reel
. eatate men from such growing metropolitan cities as
Dttroit and Chicago could spend a bit of time study
ing the transit puzzle of New York.
New lork’s transit situation raises the question
Whether it is not possible for a city to grow too big
for any use. The worker in New York has to endure
almost unbearable crowding in the subways when he
goes to and from his job. The city digs new sub
ways at vast expense; but the new subways enhance
realty values and cause the construction of new sky
scrapers, which in turn increase the congestion un
til things are as bad as they were before. It is a
vicious circle that, seemingly, has no end. . .
It is freely predicted that a number of American off,clBl '
cities,will soon be as populous as Manhattan now is-
and if New. York’s traffic tangle can be used as an
object lesson by these municipalities it will be a good
thing. Surolv, one city with streets and subways as
jammed as New York’s id enough.
And, now comes the opening
of the basketball season. Next
