? - f MARSHALL SAYS HE IS DEMOCRAT OF OLD SCHOOL | Washington, Feb. 15.?Vice President Marshall is not in accord with President Wilson's view that the United States entered the war to make the world safe for democracy. /This is made clear by Mr. Marshall :n a letter to Edward G. Hoffman, member of the Democratic national committee from Indiana, announcing 1 ~~ 1J 5it larfre to ' nis canuiuitc^ ivi uuv^utv v.. ..? 0_ San Francisco convention. He also declares himself in favor of making old-time Democratic policies the chief issues of the campaign and holds that rehabilitation of America should be the party's chief concern. j "We were in the war from the i ^very moments of its European begintiing, because it affected our internal \ affairs," writes the vice president.! I "Ail of the methods ana measures I adopted for the preservation of the peace of our country and the winning W of the war met with my approval and W I am ready to defend them. F "The war is now over and the rehabilitation of America as well as the rest of the world is taking place. It j is not possible to accomplish our rehabilitation other than through the in - - - . strumentalities of political parties, i have watched in other countries the effects of so-called unbridled democracy and I have seen its menace in rthis country until I am quite convinced that the peace, prosperity and perpetuity of the American republic must rest finally upon a few ancient and time-honored Democratic doc-, trines." > Steps must be taken by the Democratic party, he adds, to make the laws rest equally upon all men, to see that the states are permitted to discharge the functions of local selfgovernment, resisting the usurpation of the general government; to remove corrupted and biased judges; to insist that the legislative branch of the government shall be responsible *? ? of its special duty X\IA. VUV VAAWV? and not skulk behind alleged inter fference on the part of the executive < W branch; to elect an executive pledged w to administer the nation's affairs along economical lines; and to punish individual and corporation profiteers. m I WONDERS WROUGHT BY 40-CENT COTTON. j Under the above caption there XT appeared 111 me nines, ixew xuia, , Sunday, the article quoted below, written by Boyd Lee, a native of South Carolina. We give the article in full as we Relieve that Mr. Lee has told of his trip back home and the "testimony thereof" just as it would appear to the average New Yorker, who had seen the South in the days of L. C. L. and 7-cent cotton, and who had made another visit this winter: 1 "I have just returned from a trip into the South, home of 40-cent cotton, and the wonders I saw there lie , * *heavy upon me;/ so heavy, indeed, I that, like Marco Polo and other I travelers into strange lands, I am moved to give testimony thereof, p ; "Not that my journey was into new country. I was born and reared down there, like thousands of others now dwelling in the larger cities, but the complacency of metropolitan life had warped my opinion of the "prcv """ l J? inces" until 1 was no: prepared ior the tremendous strides which a rich k agricultural section can make under the impetus of good crops and fair prices. Whereas the rising cost of living is the chief outward and visible 3ign in the cities of the new era caused by the war, everything touching one's daily life in the Southeast has been molded into fresh shape. The effect necessarily is startling. "My eyes were opened when I .went up to the "square" the first Saturday of my visit to my South j Carolina home town, and was nearly run down by fourteen different negro families in fourteen automobiles. The combination was new to me. And xhose machines were not all "flivvers" by any means. p "What the devil." thought I, re 1 ~ onrJ waQ nf Ujiciiiutxniji me inuivo unu ? my childhood, a couple of splintbottom chairs in each for the women members of the family, perhaps a ?? gayly hued quilt over their laps in cold weather. These shiny automo-; biles and plush robes were as novel as jinrikshas would have been. I went over to talk to a merchandising friend about it. " 'They've got all the money in the world/ " he said when he paused in his toil of selling silk shirts, $12 shoes, and other fine raiment to peo-. pie who were wearing overalls and brogans when I had departed thence Borne years ago. I don't think he was talking in hyperbole. "Yes, Sir, trade is better than ever V before," he continued. "We are sellinc fine goods and the end is not yet. That suit of clothes, retailing for $60," he pointed to a window display, "is the same quality as the line we have bought for Spring to retail at $80." "And you expect to sell that I exclaimed. The same store ( r I had sold me quite a decent suit when I was in college for $13.50. "All we can get/' he replied. "Go ask the banks." I took his advice. Or rather I went v 1 ..1 .!%? V rv4- y? 1 r\C*a to a oanK. i cuuiuu i. ^c-i enough to my old friend, the president, to have any converse. The lobby was too crowded with prosperous negroes, all of them stowing away money. The cbony-hued customer at the grille tossed in two cotton sale checks for a total of $600. I was con-1 vinced without any talk. The Mayor later told me that the half dozen banks of the town had more than ^1 ^ AAA AAA /^nnAcita J I stopped many persons on the I street. ; "You seem to have lots of money: down here," I always said, suggestive-' ly. "Doin* pretty well," was the usual j '? lioi-n lioon rrnr?rl Jind i uui v v/v/vi? ... prices are good. Everybody* is get-1 ting a share, but, of course, the farm! people are getting most of the clear! money. They raise everything they J need, and each $200 bale of cotton is; practically velvet." Up and down every street radiating j from the square the automobiles were parked in solid rows, each representing a family with unprecedented purchasing Dower. On every vacant cor- { ner was springing up the ubiquitous j filling station, which with the garage I seemed to be putting the old-fash- j ioned livery barns out of business.; Building was evident wherever labor- j ers could be found to do the work, j the scarcity of men sending wages to ; a minimum of $35 a week. Motion ; picture theatres?for colored as well j as white?were doing well. It was j significant that they drew their; patronage during the week from the country cs well as the town. The! automobiles were responsible for j that. Farm dwellers who could afford j only one or two trips to town each month behind the family horse or plow mule, now "motor over" several times a week to form decisive opinions on the merits of the different stars. The general prosperity or tne section is reflected accurately in the colleges, which have had more applications for admission than could be accommodated with existing equipment. Schools for girls especially have experienced a great influx of new students. I Cotton mills also have emerged from the lean years into a period of great fatness, which they are sharing with their employes. Mills that never paid a dividend for a decade have raised wages and are distributing I profits to stockholders. Some have been so prosperous, in fact, that like other corporations they are cutting down their excess taxes by expending great sums in concrete road? and, sidewalks, until the mill villages, which formerly were dreary wastes of mud in Winter and dust in Summer, now look like fine new suburban additions. Fortunes have been made by the foresighted in cotton mill stocks, bought at 25 cents on -the dollar and sold well above par. Agitation by the negroes for "sonmifllit.v/' snoradic in scattered communities under the fostering- care! of newcomers or ne'er do-wells inspired by imported literature, has not lasted long. Equality of opportunity, as reflected in their dealings with the banks, has more than offset any false social doctrines and kept the minds of the colored citizenry on their legitimate business. The real has vanquished the dream, the pride j of achievement has secured artificial I unrest. Florence, who cooked my| - - i breakfasts when I was in grammar school, has no thought of Bolshevism while her farm is producing ample potatoes, peas, corn, and chickens for her ;n use, and seven bales of cot- \ ton to provide her pin money. Many' negroes will clear $3,000. All of which is one disadvantage of prosperity from the town dwellers' point of view. The wagons no longer come to town laden with chickens, eggs, butter, turnip greens, and pumpkins. Small change obtained in the past by the sale of such minor products now comes from King Cotton, an impecunious sovereign grown suddenly of vast wealth. Town people search pleadingly for food and pay unheard of prices without a murmur I saw the changes, and knew in' my heart that the days of old were gone. My regret was buried in my satisfaction at the prosperity of my friends, while I privately debated whether I should undertake to become a farmer or join a labor union, instead of laboring hopelessly and without profit at a newspaper typewriter in the city. One thing I saw, however, which seemed to say that something remained to remind of the past. It was a covered wagon, use the old prairie schooner, which had come down from the mountains of the Blue Ridge with the sweetest apples in the world. I saved my pennies when a lad to buy chestnuts from such wagons, and once, when I objected that some of the nuts seemed to have holes, the canny mountaineer soothed my fears?and made a sale? by saying there had been a lot of nails under the trees, and undoubtedly some of the nuts had fallen on them. Now in the midst of all the changes I spied at a cross street, the canvas top of a schooner. Surely, here was something with which I could establish contact. "Yes, Sir, we used to get 20 cents a peek for apples, but we get 7f> now," the mountaineer was saying. "We are 150 miles from home, and gasoline. vou know?" ** -'7 v* I passed sadly on. As I crossed the street I saw the snub nose of a popular-priced automobile sticking out in front of the bowed schooner top." Canada is nearly as large in area as the whole of Europe.
