PRICES AND THEIR REMEDIES
The price problem is put with ad
mirable simplicity and clearness in an
editorial in the Suturd:‘ly Evening
Post. :
There isn't any economic mystery
about high prices. As the Post writer
gees it, here's the situation in a nut
ghell: “Prices have been rising be
cause war tends to lessen the supply
ol goods and services, and at the same
time increases the demand for goods
and services” When commodities and
labor are scarcer than usual, and both
are wanted in greater quantities than
usual, of course prices jump.
But how about the remedy? 'l‘he‘
current idea is that the prices can l)(-‘
kept down by government r(‘gulmion.t
The Post has little faith in any mu'h‘
process. It suggests a “clear and sim-|
ple corrective,” ag follows: |
“Increase the supply of goods and
services by greater exertion, and de
creage the demand by ceasing to buy
and consume things you can get along
=2ll without.” In other words, it
S.uposes the simple old virtues of
diligence and economy.”
And isn't that the true =solution?
Price-fixing by public authority can
help a litile. It is useful in certain
cases. But in general, whatever con
trol of prices is pogsible rests with
the public itself
Work more and consume less. It
isn't so easy as asking the government
to perform miracles, but it's more ef-|
fective. And it's in harmony with the
spirit of the war. It's the way the
civilian can do his fighting.
THE AFFAIRS IN BROOKS AND
CRISP.
Says the Tifton Gazette:
So much has heen said of the cruel
iy and uselessness of the acts of the
Iynching mob that there remaing little
that can be said. Lynchings will con
tinue until people learn to control
passion and take the lesson to heart
that violence begets violence and that
a race claiming mental superiority
musi learn to govern itself before it
can with justice assert its right to
govern others,
After all that can be advanced in fa
vor of mob law has been said, there re
mains the fact that no one is better
for the lynchings while two of the
state’s most representative counties
and the white race as a whole is in
calculably injured. But for some rea
son, a certain element has formed the
opinion that crime by mnegroes must
be punished by other and equally
violent crimes, and until our people
as a whole get away from this—win
a higher and more reasonable view
point, these things will doubtless go
on, to the harm of people and section.
it is to be noted in these caseg that
‘neither of the criminals were caught
by the mob; they were taken into cus
‘t«-dy by the officers of the law. That
fone of the first negroes hung in one
‘fnse was the one whose evidence the
‘.-.t.uo would have been obliged to de
‘ pend to make out a case; that the wo
)man lynched had no proven connec
t'on and xerv provah.y had no connec
)‘.un at all with l_lm t;epecy, and that
in s%ill an other, grave doubt exists as
to guilt. Mobs do not catel. eriminals;
they can only handicap officers of the
law in their efforts to catch them.
Mobs never go in upon a desperado
armed and offering fight; they wait
‘fm' the officers to do this, and then
vent their rage upon helpless prison
‘ers. Thus, the lesson is plain that mobs
never aid in enforcing the law; they
‘only violate it.
~ Mob violence springs from race
prejudice, Those seeking the blood of
iall negroes on occasions such as this
‘see only the crime and its perpetra
tors. They forget the law-abiding ne
groes who had no connection with the
crime or any sympathy with it. In
the Brooks county instance, it was
forgotten that the house to which the
poor, stricken woman half crawled
half staggered, for help was the house
of a family of negroes, And that the
aid given was as prompt and unhesit
ating as though the crime had not
heen committed by one of their race.
'Surcly, such as that negro family
<hould win fair consideration for their
‘ race. And in Valdosta, it was due to a
‘negro man that the officers finally
‘an the murderer to earth.
Lynching have been going on foi
nearly half a century, yet there has
heen no decrease in the crimes which
provoke them. Would it not be worth
)whiln to try legal and orderly methods
for a time, the other having signally
failed ?
Gov. Dorsey is to be commended for
the promptness with which he acted
in Lowndes. Had not the negro John
son been killed while resisting arrest,
lie would have insured his trial by
jury. The event illustrates what we
may expect from an executive whose
administration has already given such
brilliant promise.

i WAR WORK IN RURAL SCHOOL
| The country schools have been
rendering admirable wartime service.
An inquiry recently compietea shows
that rural schools have had enthusi
astic and successful membership
drives for the Red Cross, many coun
ties reporting 290 percent enrollmentg
in the Junior Red Cross for individual
schools; that the country schools have
aided materially in the sale of liberty
bonds, war savings stamps and war
savings certificates, and these schools
have begun to see their possibilities
in leading campaigns for food con
servation.
War work in couniry schools has
been facilitated by such organizations
as the boys and girls home garden
clubs, pig clubs, chicken clubs, corn
clubs, ete., and by the Boys Working
Reserve, More recently schoolhouse
community organization for enlighten
ing public opinion has been put into
effect through the co-operation of the
Bureau of Education and the Council
of Nattonal Defense, working through
its State, county and cnn]muufiy
councils.
Practically all the leaders of rural
education who have communicated
with the Bureau emphasize the fact
that present war work is permanent.
One county superintendent says:
“Really, 1 consider all of this work
I have mentioned of permanent value.
The children are learning lessons of
cooperation and real patriotisril. They
are learning the much-needed lessons
in thrift which they will never forget.
Their Red Cross and Food Conserva
tion work makes them feel that they
are really helping to win the war. The
teachers as a unit have organized
their whole school into a current
events class, which will do much to
broaden the minds of the future citiz
ens of the United States and thus
make better citizens of them.”
All the school leaders agree that
teaching of agriculture, especially on
the basis of school credits for home
work, and wider use of school build
ings for public meetings are two move
ments that have hagd special stimulus
as a result of the war. The New Hamp
shire country school, where 227 pupils
engaged in home gardén work addel
products warth $8,775 to the food sup
ply of the district, was yne=-7jtionably
gaining something that will be of
value after the war, Similarly with
ihe districts where pupils helped to
corgerve coal by cutting wood near
the sc‘hcml house which would, h.. nr
mal times, have gone to waste,

EMBROIDERY AND WAR
The young girl sat under the even
ng lamp sewing while her father's
quests held a serious discussion, One
5f the women present, who had done
% ine needlework herself in happy days
\ one by, wag attracted by the charm
l ng picture she made, as pretty hands
- roved back and forth over the filmy
‘ naterial. Breeding was evident in
~ayery line of her—the simply coiffed
air, the simple dress, the ringless
busy hands,
But—in the woman's mind lingered
‘he appeal in the evening paper:
“American soldiers must not be per
“mitted to die for lack of care after
they have risked their lives for Amer
f ica. But théy will die, if sufficient sup
| plies are not gent from the United
States.
“Money alone cannot provide these
supplies. They can be provided only
by the hands of women.”
~ And the woman wondered how the
zirl could stand it to be doing that
Tlainty haml-hcms}H(-hing on that
‘ilmy blouse for her own adorning
while her countrymen aboard were
suffering and dying for her safety
suffering far more than was needful,
hecause they lack dressings for wounds
Dying, Perhaps, because she wag em
hroidering fine soft chiffon instead of
sewing al coarse unbleached muslin,
_The idleness of women is disappear
ng. But all over the land are young
zirls still embroidering, still rolling
hems, still doing pretty and unneces
sary work for themselves, because the
zall has not yet sunk in to their hearts.
Is it not time every woman, old or
young, turned her energies to her
sountry’s need?
