SUGGESTS LAW FOR CURBBING TONGUE I have just a few more leaves of this old five-cents tablet that I v -I+Il* t TT ? 1 TT^T J ^ * A DOUf 'I irom mi iyuiiu anu a. guuu many of my friends ask me to write often, and occasionally I hear of some one criticizing what I say. I have 35 years of such experience since I began to write for the press, and when I write my last article here on * earth I expect no better. I love honest criticism. It always does me good T nnn l'rrn nn'fli f'hnco wV>H AliU A v-au ojf uiyauii^c; Hiwt ??*w criticize through an unjust heart. 1 often think of that little member of the body that gives utterance to the soul?"what a power of influence it has either for good or for evil, for God or the devil. Yes, the tongue is a very small member, but one of the hardest things to control that God ever created on earth. We put bits in horses' mouths that thfcy may obey us, and we turn about their Whole bodies. S3*ips are turned and move through fietce winds and storms. Yes, they are turned about with a very small helm. Every kind of beast and of birds and of serpents and things in the sea are tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind. But that one little member ntever has" been and I fear never will be tamed. It seems to be an unruly member full of deadly poison. With the tongue God is blessed and - With the tongue God is cursed. With the tongue we command peace and with the tongue we stir up strife. With the -tongue faces are made to smile and hearts are overjoyed with glf&ftess. With the tongue eyes are m?&3 a perfect fountain of tears and hpfitis are fifled with sadness. I' have often thought that there sjjiptlld be some safeguard thrown the tongue by the laws of our l^&d. Yes, there is a certain line of fUftiy language that falls from filthy xpjigues mat bungs muic acvcicij tlym a blow from the hand. A wound oil the flesh will heal but wounded heart; sometimes never heals. . &nd words turn away wrath ftut * grievous words stir\ up anger. May God ?ive us & more ruling power over our tongues. v ' "AmoUg the greatest gifts that God h^itpwed upon.- man are a sunny disposition, a candid heart, and the inst$bet of fairness. ife exceedingly hard for sone tv be just. They are so full of j&Ieusy, suspicion, prejudice and en JT.that it is hard for them to believe aii^thipfc good of others. They never anything but that they put the #*ohg construction on it. They sufikt their prejudice to grind down to tvety bottom of their souls and let d^vil'have a clean sweep over / thiir lives. They are always boasting over some good thing they do aid telling of some very bad things the^bther fellow does. Jtwt think for a moment. Bid you ever know of a person to elevate in the least bv coins' around trying to belittle his fellow man? I&ile times out of ten he falls in the pit he digs for the other fellow.. , Now Thanksgiving day is not very far oft, so let us put on new courage for that which stands for happiness. Let US get ready to pray that petition of {he Lord's Prayer which says, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who tresspass against us." Just a word or two in connection with our financial condition. I don't remember that I ever lived,in a time when there has ever been such a financial depression among the farming interests of our country as at the present. We have been organizing discussing plans for many years to better our condition. And it steams that every time we make an effort things get worse. We are now like the keeper of the jiil when God sent the earthquake to relieve Paul and Silas who were bound in th? stocks, and when the earthquake caused the doors of the cfells to open apd the shackles to fall from their hands and feet^the jailer crifed out in the midst of excitement: "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Paul answered, "We are all here, do thy s?lf no harm." Let us with , a smile turn to those who are grinding- the last dollar out of our hands and say, "Sirs, we are all here, do thy self no harm." I don't remember that I ever knew a nme wnen integrity ana veracity stood for so little. Is it possible that we are going to lose all faith'in one another? We have been looking to the government for relief for the. longest, but we just as well be singing Psalms to a dead horse as depending upon relief from the government. If the government intended to help the depressed it would blot out this notori ous DucKet snop ousiness throughout America, and regulate the freight system that is taking away millions of dollars from the commercial interests of the country. Very respectfully, T. J. W. Nor. 21, 1921, # \ TOO MUCH ADVICE OFFERED FARMERS a ' li Thomas Revives Agitation for' Market in Columbia for Produce jf To the Editor of The State: j c3 i 1 have read witn interest your eui- o torials and comments on what others i i have written about the farmers' pres-;c ent, past and future condition, and I i C have arrived at the conclusion that t farmers are getting more advice and suggestions about their Welfare than j all other classes combined. All of i this is very good, perhaps, but what 1 the farmers need just now, more than1* anything, is sympaty and cooperation j b on the part of the landlords, the mer-1 chants and the bankers. Especially. ^ * * " 3- 3 1 ! TJ me janaioras anu uie iucicu<ai>Ls. In the first place, if the farmers jc make more than enough for their I*own use at home, it is an expense to ^ them instead of a profit. They have ,21 absolutely no encouragement*to pro-:0' duce more than actual necessities for'*1 home consumption. I'll give an in-:a stance coming under my observation' recently. I know a certain farmer jc who makes all the corn, meat, etc., j that he needs for his own use and je has sold about 3,000 pounds of hogsj^ at 9 cents gross this fall. Yet if you L want to get a bit of the sausage made * from that same pork you have to pay!11 about 40 cents per pound. It may be i 3 necessary for the merchant to charge! ? that much, so far as I know, but I do t know that there is but little encouragement for the farmers to make a 1 special effort to produce vuder such circumstances. * I'm not trying to locate responsi- ^ bility for such a condition on any one 13 particular source, but it looks as if;s the landlord is trying to put his end J * ?^ j ** a?? a n m ^ i e [ U1 LI1C UUIUCIi UII UIl LUC illCltuaill; auu | the renters generally, and the m'er-j chants, in turn, are unloading their j ^ end of it on the public, and- if there 0 ? 1 t is anything left after all other mar- L gins have been arranged for, the far- ^ mer comes in for a portion of that. Now, here is what I'd suggest as a s partial solution for the producers and/ ^ the consumers. Let the farmers andj j n the city council get together and; form an association for marketing all' ^ farm produce. This can be done by! the city furnishing the site for the. market and the farmers and city to-i gether build as many stalls as is nec-! essary to accommodate all of the | farmers who bring produce to market, j Require all who come to market toj sell through the association and j_ charge the farmers an amount for such membership, sufficient to pay j ^ the taxes on the investment and no IT more. I see no reason why such a system shoi^ld not work satisfactorily for the Q producers and the consumers and I believe that they are the most important element to be reckoned with ^ in at time like we are now passing through.
