Economic Freedom ; By BRUCE CATTON A great shift in the popular idea of freedom, which |will ultimately have a very great eflect on our political thought, has been taking place in this country during the last few years. This shift has been moving us away from our traditional notions at « rapid pace. It is giving a new twist to the things we demand from our gov émment. and it is steadily changing our concept of the relation of the individual to the society of which he is a part. Brlefl?, the shift can be explained by saying that we are ‘beginning to 'demnad economic freedom rather than political freedom. Once 'we demanded freedom from the oppression of rulers—freedom to. talk, write, and worship 'as we pleased, aholition of inherited caste distinctions, formal recognition of the fact that, as far as rights are corcerned, all men are created equal. Now We are beginning the demand freedom from econom{c disabilities; freedom from poverty, for jnstance, and from the fear of poverty. We are beginning to insist that political equality be balafced with economic security. It is this demand which is back of such pending bills in Congress as the Wagner-Lewis unemploy ment insurance law and the Connery 30-hour week bullets. Now the thing to notice is that never before, in all the world’'s history, could a demand for eco nomic security have been made sensibly. In all; former times it was inevitable that inse curity be the iot of the average man. There simply wasn’t enough of everything to go around. Some- | i'body hatl to be left out. * Population, as Malthus pointed out, tended to in creage fastc: than the means of subsistence. Pov-| erty was inescapable. S | But teddy our troubles come because.there is toe | much of everything. For the first time sinee.this || ‘old platet statred spinning, every man can get # fair whack of things. i ] Insecurity is no longer necessary, The abolition of poverty is perfectly possible. The ordinary man has come to realize this. He| knows there is enough of everything to go around and he wants his share; and—which is a point} worth remembering—he doesn’t care very much| how he gets it. ‘ It amember of President Roosevelt’s official family +is actually working toward a Communist state in America, and is pulling the wool over the Presidént’s eves so that the nation can be man euvered to the edge of Marxism without realizing it, the fact needs to be established definitely and the man’s name should be published. w "And then the man needs to be thrown out of Washington so fast that he won't know what hit him. But, on the other hand, if none of this is true— if someone has just been indulging in a lot of loose talk, creating a bogey-man out of nothing to scare us out of adopting a laWw o a set of laws which certain important gentlemen do not like—then the man who started all the talk needs to'be shown up as an irresponsible rumor-monger and discredited forever. The charges spread before the house commerce committee in the letter read by James Henry Rand, » muif be investigated quickly and thoroughly. go public has a right to know the exact facts in ‘matter, ) Most ' newspaper readers, probably, would like to know more about this Fred Goetz, the gangster who was taken for a ride the other night after several years Of activity as one of Chicago’s worst gunmen. This gangster never came from one of those slum regions that breed most of our criminals. He was a small{town product, of a good family. Fhurthermore, he wfia a college man, an honor student at a great university, and an athlete of considerable promi nence. \ All fin all, he was emphaticailly not the kind of materjal of which gangsters are made. Yet he plunged into the underworld, became a hired killer, served as counsellor to the notorious Fred Burke— and died at last, gangland-style, in a ditch, full of bulleto. : A strange and tragic story must await the telling there, 'if one could only get at it! e HEALTH CURES =~ s £ By DR, MORRIS FISHBEIN w Journal of the American Medical Association, o w‘;‘pnd of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. ' The number of notions that people have about me\ure probably greater and more peculiar than wefl ideas in any other field. > ~ How many times have you heard the statement made that washing inside and out is the best thing for the humanu body? Actually the human body is a fifi;figulatmg mechanism, and if one takes six to Mght glasses of water daily, his intestines get about all the washing they need, under ordinary [eircumstances. .Of course, if you are sick with some type of in fection of the lower bowel, you may require special types of washings, but those will have to be picked “out by your doctor and perhaps given to you by a competent attendant. . _Another notion that has Irequenhy prevailed is the idea that deep breathing exercises early in the mqgmdg. preferably taken without any clothes on im front of an open window, is a certain method of good health. . While it may entertain the neighbors, there is no - evidence that it really does bring about any re m’improvemem in health. , It has -been pointed out, instead, that long-con tinued forced deep breathing washes out the carbon dioxide from the blood .and in that way may be harmful. . Breathing is also an automatic. mechanism and _any time we interfere with it we are likely to be disturßing the. actions of a well-regulated machine. .. There is the notion that a pain in the back means a disease of the kidney. A lot of old<time patent medicifie advertising that used tc be prevalent in ~olir youth is responsible for maintenance of this idea.. - « Actually, pain in the back is only rarely asso ciatell with a disease of the kidney. Disturbances of ’l,huq vital organs are more likely to manifest ‘themselves by swelling in various portions of the _body and by changes in the excretions, which can be found with laboratory examination. . Finally, there is that old bugaboo, autointoxica ‘tion, presumably the appearance of a coated tongue. Headache, or a feeling of dullness is, according to usval “belief, always due io the presence in the bowels of a great deal of putrefying and decaying food material. : i Actually, however, the presence of such decaying mu% is a rather rare occurrence. Most scien tific .physicians have discaarded the word “auto intoxteation.” v In ;fiauh practice there is nothing so important as exact knowledge. Notions and superstitions lead to fears which may l?,,“ serious than the many minor disturbances of the human body. LOYAL TO OLD GLORY | While the Communistic organizations in this state are not of potential strength, yet in other sections of the nation, propagand ists have succeeded in spreading the doc trine of Communism in an alarming de gree. The investigation now going on in Washigton, based on the charges made by Professor Wirt, of Gary, Indiana, may de velop a hot bed of Communism in and connected with the seat of the govern ‘ment. Evidently there must be some foun dation for the charges made by this edu cator. He is the type of man who does not deal in idle jest, but his sole interest.in making public what he believes to be an organization is due to his loyalty to his gountey.. i | In Georgia there are sufficient grounds for speculation of the organizations of Communistic advocates. These represen tatives work secretly, of course, but they 'lare nere nevertheless some. no doubt in | Athers, as well as in other sections of the state. The Cobb County Times believes {that now is the time for investigation and |elimination of all such organized efforts on the part of representatives of the Mos cow government. In discussing the matter, the Times, says: _ “With Congress proposing an investiga tion of alleged Nazi activities in America, it should be recalled that several years ago Representative Fish, of New York, was made head of a commission to investi gate alleged Communistic activities in this country. It cost the taxpayers something like $50,000 to hold this investigation, but what were the findings? “Investigations prqved that the Com munists were actually striving to perfect their organization in this country looking forward to an ultimate overthrow of our government. It was shown that camps for boys were being operated in. New York! state, where hatred to American ideals, hatred to the Stars and Stripes and hatred for all that we, as free Americans, hold dear, were only taught. This insidious{ propaganda is still going on, and Com munism has grown so bold that no less’ than thirty-four states in the Union have listed Communistic candidates on their election ‘ballots. 'w“Communirts advocate the abolition of religion. ; “Communists advocate the abolition of family relations. “Communists advocate the abolition of patriotism. : “Communists advocate the abolition of property right. “Advocates of Communism offer a dic- tatorship of the proletariat, and they seek an overthrow of organized government and society. ; “We here in Georgia feel secure. There’s no necessity of getting alarmed over Com munistic propaganda, we think. Listen— “The Cartersville Tribune reprinted a letter from a citizen of Bartow county last week in which this citizen called attention to the fact that anti-government doctrines were being spread through the mnorthern part of Bartow county and that one high school boy had 'been dismissed from school because he had assisted in disseminating this damning propaganda. ~_“The Times doesn’t believe in hollering “Wolf, Wolf,” when there isn’t any wolf, but when these things are happening right ‘in our own backyard it’s time for serious thought, It’s time to awaken ourselves to the sense of danger; to be constantly on the alert to stamp down these fires that may easily be fanned to fever heat. “Eter nal vigilance' is the price of freedom,” and if we allow the little things to pass unno ticed, they will soon grow to such propor tions that it will be difficult to combat them. % “TLet us:. be constantlv on our cuard o see that our young people are not satu rated with radicalism and un-American ism. Let’s continue to instill within the hearts of our children such profound re gard for Old Glory and all that it stands for, that they will not adopt the Red Flag as many are reported to be doing in other sections of the country.” The* Cartersville case, recited by the Times, is typical of the workings of these representatives of Communism. They are at work in the schools, colleges and uni versities. Through various schemes they secure admission to the student bodies and disseminate propaganda and in some in stances, succeed in coming in contact with these young people through talks and ad dresses on various subjects, but with the main purpose of spreading the teachings of Communism. Young people are suscep tive to what they believe is new and mod ern ideals of life. They readily accept such doctrines and soon become believers in Communism and join with the reds in attempting to tear down rather than ta build the government. If these people are allowed to get a foothold on the young, in a few years there will be many believ ers in the teachings of overthrowing the government. While we are not inclined to the. belief that President Roosevelt’s “brain-trusters” are reds, vet no harm can come from a thorough congressional examination and survey of the charges submitted by Proisssor Wirtz as now of file before the conmittee. : A dogs nose is kept cool by the contin ual evaporation of mcisture secreted by the latest nasal gland.

At these hearings, citizens in large num bers appear befors the gover nonr, W iy It is two days of the hardest work the governor has of all his official duties. Callers at the gov ernor’s office on other matters, have a time of getting the ear of the Chief Executive .of tbe state, He gives every case brought before him thorough study—rmerits and demerits—and after, he' has .analy ized the evidence, his decision is immeditaely rendered. ' There are no ifs or ans. It ig either a par don, parole or a refusal. In other words he does not bicker or delay over making a decision, and that is the way all officials should con duct their official business. It so Fappened on the oc casion of our last two or three visits to the Capitol, ghey fell on “pardoning day”, and to get a lead intp his sanctum, well, that was something else. However, the governor doeg not allow anyone who desires to see him, to leave the Capitol, without getting a conference. Often he re mainus in his office hours after regular closing time in order that no one desiring to see him on of ficial business will be deprived of the privilege. The last time we were up there, it was on “pardon day”, but he kept open house un til late in the evening, seeing and talking with those who had called during the day and afternoon.! We felt a hesitance in going at the late hour, but he astured ug that he was just as glad to see ug at that time as he would have been, if we had called earlier in the Gday. That was after six o'clock and we presume he remained in his office for several hours later as the front office, at that time, was crowded with visitors. A governor has a hard life. So much is expected of him and so little consideration is given in return for the many inconveniences and hardships he has to undergo. Georgia had a governor, not so many years ago, who eclosed the office lock, stock and barrel at 4 o'clock, and no one was admitted after that hour. However, he was not re-elected for the second term, but he did make a good gov ernor. Later, he was elected for an additional term, but not in'suc cession. Keeping strict hours' may have had something to do with his defeat in his second race. Much is expected of all public officials and the least irregularity ‘arising in the daliy routine ,f affairs, sometimes, cause the inconsiderate to fly up and create opposition. It is a 'hard life, holding public of fice. J Tom Linder, candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture, is preparing for a short, but interesting campaign. The pri mary will be held in Septem ber. ] While there are other candidates | announced and prospéctive candi- Idates galore, it is believed that the number will dwindle down to lpossibly two or three before the 'closing of the entries. Some of the l\\'ise political prognosticators are forecasting a race between Tom Linder and Commissioner Adams. However, it is uncertain until the entries have closed on the last day. There might be others to enter, but we are inclined to the belief that Linder has the inside track on other candidates. and prospective candidates. Senator Sisk has an mounced his candidacy (for that THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA ARMY PILOT KILLED IN JUMP FROM SHIP ) ALTONA, Pa.— (#) —The body of Second.

He is bound to make a mark and run-up in the race. Madison Bell, of Cartersville, is considering entering the race in opposition to William B. Harrison, Comptrollier-General. Such a race might develop into a warm fight. A However, “Bill” Harrison knows the people and has friends in ev ery county in the state, who will give him their detive support should gpposition arise. That, how ever, is to be reckoned with. Mad ison Bell is ‘a great campaigner and' a splendid lawyer and orator. But then it is time yet to get the horse on the race track for the running. A quarter race is long enough and we suspect that some of the candidates would prefer an eighth. © But it all depends on what may occur during the cam paign whether drawn out or cut short. - o B\ REVENGE WAS HIS"GOAL o« LOVE WAS HIS'REWARD!
