iny of pride in cuanty attaiiimat
to be gained taut cannot be attain
ed in any other manner. And the
men behind the county fair should
be given every possible assistance
in the fruition of their plans.
If Sumter county puts on a
creditable fair here this fall, it
means that the products of the coun
ty will be presented in favorable
light to thousands of persons who
will visit the Atlanta fair a fpw
weeks later—that Sumter county
will be given advertising that ean
not be bought at any price any
where, and which is available only
through the medium of the county
fair. Ihe Chamber of Commerce
of Americus and Sumter County i»
behind the fair, which means it is
to be a people’s fair, that it is
given for the benefit and profit of
all the people. *
The Times-RecOrdtr is interest
ed in the Success of the fair for
the very reason that it is to be a
people’s fair, and because of this
interest we want it to be a suc
cess in every department. This
can easily be accomplished, if the
people of the county will work to
gether under direction of those in
charge of the fair, and it should
be done. Every good citizen of
every community should lend his
aid to the preparation of a splen
did community exih’ibit, and while
there must be community rivalry
to bring out the best there is in the
community, all of this can easily
be forgotten in the spirit of conu
ty pride that should surround and
sustain the best exhibit shown at
the fair.
WOMEN ACQUIRING
VICES OF MEN.
The behavior of women in ac
quiring the vices of men is precise -
ly that of any servile class sudden
ly’ set free, according to Charlotte !
Perking Gilman, in August Cur
rent History Mazagine. Indul
gences previously enjoyed by the
master and denied to the slave are
eagerly seized upon as proof of
freedom and equality. It it cer
tainly to be hoped that our race
mothers will soon see not only the
danger but the undiginified ab- ,
surdity’ of imitating the worst
weaknesses of men.
There is, however, much more
involved in this present period of
indecency than the rising of wo
men. Any student of recent and
current history can observe a
movement of moral relaxation, a
lowering of standards of sex re
lationship which has been going on
for the last half century of so.
In England this became more and
more visible in the days of let us
say, Aubrey Beardsley and The
Yellow Book, culminating disas
trously in the sad end of that scape
goat of the "high-ups” Oscar
Wilde. In France we see it blossom
ing freely in Verlaine and Baude
laire, in that dallying with the
“Fleurs de Mai,” which was lan
guidly accepted as the "fin de
siecle” movement. It remained for
the German people to give us the
quintessence of all this in the
solemn philosophical sexmania of
Sigmund Freud, now widely pois
oning the world.
In the old status of women, now
broken and changing under our
eyes, thev were as a sex quite help
lessly under the tutelage and dom-
inance of man; so taught by re
i ligion, so held by custom, so forced
■j by law-. From this dominance they
1 are now largely free. But so
1 agreable a mastery was not to be
surrendered without a struggle.
’ The real trend of the woman's
movement is away from the long
abuse of this relationship. It pos
tulates freedom of the woman from
that abuse, not freedom to join in
1 it. The misused movement we
call birth control' is intended to
protect the mother from enforced
childbearing, • and has been most
beneficial to the crowded poor.
• But in the present n-. share./,ng of
‘ the movement it has co ne to be as
it were a free ticket for set' sb
and fruitless irdifev■•.■< s- t to aid
in the lamertab'/- or of
our t-mes. affect—g be i and

‘~-a.il wv chasers.” We quote from:

farmer leaders would stop
siou’ing about the farmer's sacred
iury to feed and clothe the world,
- armors would be better off.” The
Secretary indicated that this sort
:: -u, k was pretty soft, girly-girly
i stuff.
They ought to have more of
' the iron that labor leaders have
n their make up,” he said.
“Farmers, generally speaking,
are in pretty desperate straits; is
there anything they can do, collec
tively, which will help them out?”
I,suggested.
‘You know them and their lead
ers. as well as I do,” the secretary
replied: "They won’t pull together;
they go off chasing rainbows and
get side tracked too easily.
“No, the problem is only for the
. individual farmer to solve by study
ing the situation; increasing his per
acre production and decreasing his
unit of cost; hiring less help, and
doing everything and raising every
thing that he can by his own ef
forts and that of his family,” he
said.
UV 1.1 . « . ..
* You know the problem is really
solving itself,” he continued.
“How? Mr. Secretary,” I asked.
Whereupon, Secretary Wallace
explained as follows:
“The marginal farmer, that is,
the farmer w’ho u on the narrow
fringe of solvency, either through
disadvantageous location, clima
tically, or with reference to mar
kets, or the farmers with poor soil,
or the inefficient farmer—farmers
like these are being crowded out
and are going into the cities.
"This means that labor wages
are going to come down, due to
keener competition, and in this
way a poorer ratio between the
earning capacity of the farmer and
the industrial worker wll be
brought about.”
There you have the solution of I
the agricultural problem from the
highest administration authority.
M hen enough farmers have been
driven from their farms to the
i cities by failure to make a living,
then farm production will decrease
to the point where the surviving
farmers will get a higher price for
their product- and labor will get
! lower wages by reason of the in
creased supply of labor provided by
' the impoverished farmers.
WHO ARE THE 'RADICALS'
AND ‘MOBS'?
“Socialist,” “radicals," and
i “mobs” are some of the names Re
publican leaders are applying to
the farmers of the country because
the latter are denouncing the prof
: Heers’ tariff and repudiating Re
' publican candidates for office,
(Congressman Frank L. Greene of
Vermont, one of the stanchest of
the Republican stand-patters, ha
joined Senator Fess, Senator Cam
eron, Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace, and other Republicans in
chiding the farmer for his actions.
Congressman Greene condemns
what he characterizes the ‘stupidity
of auctioning the Government to
State Socialism” by bidding for the
“socalled progressive vote," and
recommends that his party instead
of making extravagant promises
should “turn squarely about and
promise what we will not permit to
be, done.’’
The Republican party ought not
■ 1 resort to bread and games and the
circus to keep the mob quiet."
■ Representative Greene declared,
evidently referring to the proposals
for helping agriculture. He rebukes
- those who would appeal to what he
describes as the “greed of a clamor-
• ous multitude" and says “we are ■
trying to bribe the populace” with

A PRAYER
Lord, when my burdens are hard to bear
I shall whimper at times, no doubt,
I shall groan, perhaps, in my deep despair •
When my courage and grit run out.
For life, at whiles, is a torturer’s rack
Inflicting such bitter pain,
Thou canst not blame 4 if my will shall crack
Under the cruel strain.
I ask thy pity, dear Lord, when I
Am broken arid hurt and weak,
When under a black 'and sullen sky
I stray from the path I seek;
But scourge me Lord, if with craven heart
I struggle not back again,
To play a worthy and manly part
In a world that was made for Men.
I cannot always maintain a smile
When all of my dreams go wrong,
I shall wince a little once in a while
At the jeers of the mocking throng;
But help me, Lord, when to earth I’mhurlcd
And rowelcd by fortune’s gaff.
To rise in the face of a cock-eyed world
And laugh, and laugh and laugh!
