Earned Social Security.
During the first five months of this
year, $3,170,356,000 of new life in
surance protection was written in the
United States, a gain of 9 per cent,
over the same period in 1935. All
but a handful of States showed in
creases.
This gain is representative of past
experience. Even during some of the
depression period, the American pub
lic managed to increase Its purchases
of life insurance.
The millions of citizens who look to
insurance for future protection for
both their dependents and themselves
aren’t wrong. Insurance is the finest
guardian of thrift the nation has. It
makes for itself reliance, for individu
al independence. It is “earned social
security.”
The Drive for Socialism.
The political drive to extend social
ism in the United States is never-
ending.
One of the latest attempts is in
to bo highly 4b-
■irable. If wo would accord the
President all prabe for his surceases
we must charge him with his failures.
Nothing has been more inspiring
taan the President’s fresh outlook,
his willingness to work on new lines.
Most of our public men haven’t had a
new thought in so many years that
the President attracted a large body
of enthusiastic intellectuals. But
they have gone about some things in
such a manner as to terrorize men in
Business and the country Is suffering
needlessly because these men see noth
ing but unfair competition and perse
cution. Sometimes the method is bad;
sometimes the time unpropitious;
sometimes the thing is overdone.
The President’s proposal to make
changes in the Supreme Court is un
fortunate, untimely and threatening
to the independence of the great court,
which should be above and beyond all
the tumult of political passion. I do
not defend any of the justices, and I
cannot understand the about-face of
the court on some questions within
one year; but the principle at stake is
whether the Supreme Court is to be
a part of the President’s entourage
or whether it shall continue as an in
dependent body, far removed from the
turmoil of political movements, to
which citizens can present their causes
confident of a fair, calm, unbiased
hearing. That Mr. Roosevelt may be
lieve to the contrary is no reason why
we should sacrifice our principles of
government, greatly though we may
respect him.
Mr. Roosevelt is loyal to his
friends, a great quality, yet one
which, has borne some fruit in recent
months. Mr. Roosevelt has extolled
the greatness of Mr. Farley his
political manager. We are just learn
ing things about the campaign which

and twisted as it spins, producing a
better and more expensive thread.”
It is said that Southern Whites
should spend $2.35 a week for food,
unless producing their food on the
farm.
INTERESTING PERSONAL
NOTES FROM DUNBARTON
California where a law has been pass
ed by the legislature which does away J Mr Farley managed. It is said that
with the requirement of a two-thirds John L L€wig contributed five hun-
vote to carry bond issues for public
improvements and municipal owner
ship experiments. The new law
would require only a majority vote,
dred thousand dollars to that cam
paign and made a loan of fifty thous
and dollars more. Mr. Lewis has
bluntly called on the President to
but once the town was launched on the b#ck him up . he hag advertised in
experiment it could not get rid of it
except by a two-thirds vote.
In other words, the new law makes
handbills that the President was with
him in his fight. Now, if a corporation
contributes a half million dollars to
it easier to get into debt, but just as ' a political campaign it expects some-
hard to get out as at present. Public
debt in California has increased great
ly even with the protection of the
two-thirdb vote.
The bill ia now being held p by a
referendum to give the people a
thing for the money, eh? So the
law prohibits that. Then what did
Mr. Lewis expect? What did Mr.
Farley promise Mr. Lewis? W’hat
has Mr. Lewit, received?
That is the same Mr. Farley who

found it difficult under the “two-
thirds” rule to become established.
The new law simply makes experi
ments easier and failures harder to
get out of. It permits establishment
of socialistic ventures by a majority
vote, but prohibits a corrective meas
ure except by a two-thrids vote. This,
in itself, is enough to show the insin
cerity and unfairness of the law.

By Spectator.
Well I’ll admit that we’ve had
weather hot enough to discourage the
boll weevil. In fact, even an ambitious
man lost his zeal to do great deeds
and loom large on the horizon. Small
deeds—and few of them—sufficed for
even the most vimful of people.
PEANUTS AND POLITICS.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
BATTLE OF THE SEXES.
Photographs of people in public
life, not only snapshots, but poses
also, show them grinning or “haw
hawing” all the time. A constant
grin becomes tiresome and I vote for
more seriousness during the hot
weater.
The Charlotte Observer says (quot
ing a government report) that there
is a slight reduction in the peanut
crop. And next year a campaign year,
too!
I don’t know any man who can make
himself a dictator in this country, af
ter the fashion of Mussolini and Hit
ler and Stalin and Kernel but the
transcendent prestige of Mr. Roose
velt, growing out of the collapse of
1933, makes H possible to support

Well, how’s this:
“Five Woonsocket mills are prepar
ing for one of the strangest battles
of .the sexes in history—a three-
month test to determine whether the
I male or the female is the best spinner.
“Ten weeks ago approximately 800
workers in the five mills went on strike
for shorter hours, higher wages and
an agreement that men would be hired
in the future instead of women when
ever there was a vacancy.
'“The mills engage in two sorts of
spinning—mule spinning and frame
spinning. The mill managements ad
mit that men are better mule spinners,
but recently the tendency has been to
shift to frame spinning. Women can
produce more wook on frames, the
managements contend, but the men
dispute.
“So an arbitration board which set
tled the matters except the question of
male or female supremacy, arranged'
that in about three weeks the men and
women will compete over a three-
month period. If after a three-month
trial, the men demonstrate that they
can produce on spinning frames as
effectively as the tfomen, then male
workers will be employed exclusively
on one of the major shifts in opera
tion in each of the five mills.
“The mills will keep an exact record
of the work produced by both sides,
and at the end of tbe three-month
period the board of arbitration will
decide tbe question of supremacy,

Tuberculotis Exhibit
Shown at Orangeburg
An exhibit on Tuberculosk Among
Negroes, developed by the National
Tuberculosis Association in co-opera
tion with the Negro Advisory Com
mittee of the Texas Centennial Expo
sition, was on display at the exposi
tion and is now being shown in various
parts of the country. The exhibit will
be on display at State College in
Orangeburg under the sponsorship of
the South Carolina Tuberculosis Asso
ciation, the Orangeburg County Tuber
culosis Association and State College.
The exhibit will be opened on July
21st and continue through July 30th.
This will be the only exhibit of its
kind in Orangeburg and possibly in
the entire State. A Health Day pro
gram will also be held at State Col
lege on July 22nd in the chapel of the
school, starting at 12 o’clock noon.
It is hoped that as fnany reesidents
of the State as possible will avail
themselves of the opportunity to see
this exhibit. As tuberculosis is a par
ticularly serious problem among ne
groes, it is hoped that leaders of this
race in the communities where it will
be shown will co-operate fully with
local health departments in their ef
forts to obtain a large attendance. It
is also hoped, of course, that large
numbers of white people will see it,
since tuberculosis among negroes is
also a matter of serious concern to
the white race.
Funds for the construction of the
exhibit were contributed in part by
the United States Department of
Commerce by means of an appropria
tion to the United States Public
Health service.
The exhibit consists of 12 units,
each SH x 6 feet, covering 50 linear
feet of wall space.
The centerpiece is a life-size photo
graph of a husky negro younth. His
chest is transparent and as a flasher
goes on the picture of a healthy and
a diseased lung appears. The caption
reads: “A healthy looking body may
conceal tuberculosis.” Above is a
three foot circle with the double barred
cross and the sentence: “Christmas
Seals help fight tuberculosis.”
To the left of the cross a photo-dis
play panel depicts the forces that
make for progress, such as clinic, sana
torium, public health nursing, school
and church. To the right the obstacles
are dramatized. “You are born with
out tuberculosis,” the caption read*.

The statistical units are in the

from tuberculosis among colored peo

(2) There are now fewer deaths
per 100,000 population among both
