It is to bo earnestly hoped that wo’ll go
easy in returning to the old way of doing
things you know with the poor getting
poorer, and the depressions, more or less
scheduled, shifting ownership of land, chat
tels and just about everything except the
yoimguns from the little owners to the few.
It is admitted that big money has been
spent, but aside from that spent for war. we
have something to show for our investment,
and whethenthose who would carry us back
know it or not. there'll he trouble, plenty
trouble waiting for them when they get
there.
I .el's look hack and see what's happened
things that have helped rather than hurt
In the past decade. Hi,000 new establish
ments wen opened m the South. Two and
nne-quartei rural homes lighted as com
pared with Til),000 ten \u ars ago. Rural tele
phones the telephones that are really need
ed are increasing in number rapidly, and
when Ken Scott gets through just about
everybody will be able to talk back at those
who would isolate the rural folks.
Kami income has climbed from a pitiful
amount to eight ami a quarter billion dol
lars ll is true that some would carry us
hack to the old wav of I h mgs. but take away
a living price for the farmer's produce and
there'll be trouble, and rightly so.
There are 28(i,000 more farm owner opera
tors and tl.il,(100 lower tenants and share
cropper; todav than there were ten vears
ago.
Well, il then is anv going back, it boiler
be easy

Any warfare anywhere in the work! in
times of international tension is a serious
threat to world penee and should not he
dealt with ligldlv
And there can he no denying that the
news of hostiiit.ies in Korea enhances our
feeling i if iosei : .! v.
But those alarmists, among us who are
predicting that the third world war will he
unde: way in m.dtei ol weeks hot only
lack basic for such wild talk They make it
more difficult foi the peace-loving nations
to keep a cool head in seeking, a solution to
1 he Korean crisis
V\ i will help the situation if we keep our
comments related to the facts.
It is a tad that North Korea is at war with
South Korea Newsman have reported that
troops of the Russian-supported govern
ment of North Korea Sunday launched an
invasion into the tendon of the American
sponsored Republic of South Korea
It is not a tact that Russia lias invaded
American territorv. not -s it true that Russia
ami America are at war.
Our authorities in Washington are very
much concerned over this conflict in the
Fui East, but ihey do not believe it means
that the third world war is about to
start Southfield Herald

Young Republicans, mi eting in New York
State, recenth heard a new leader If they
follow that leader, the Democrats had better
watch’em.
The leader, said in part:
“The American people are and always
have been a progressive people. Reaction
they want non of ; conservatism they want
in mod. rate amounts; hut above all they
seek a partv with a leadership which is pos
sessed with common sense and able to recog
nize conditions and problems as the y are .
The trouble with segments of both the
major political parties is that they do nol
recognize the problems as they are and wort
for their solution; they set up a false stand
aid of their own, and they’ll adhere to that
standard if it means ruination.'
Frank Graham's Defeat
The Now York Times.
It looked for a while as though the ma
jority of the voters of North Carolina were
willing to forgive Frank P. Graham for be
ing a eengenia! reformer and send him back
to the United States Senate, where he has
been holding a seat under temporary ap
pointment. He had led a field of four can
didates in the primaries on May 28 and had
fallen just 18,000 votes short of an absolute
majority, but in the run-off election on Sat
: today he lost by a majority of about 20,000
to his conservative rival, Willis Smith.
Mr. Smith's general position is perhaps
suggested by the fact that his success was
warmly welcomed by the chairman of the
! Republican National Committee. Guy
i George Gabrielson. Mr. Gabrielson said that
the Smith victory “is a severe rebuff to Pres
ident Truman.” Reports from North Caro
lina suggest that this was not all that was
involved. A great many North Carolina
voters, perhaps enough to have turned the
tide, had been led to believe that Senator
Graham supported a Federal lair employ
ment practices act. As a matter of fact, he
did not. He believes in doing everything
possible to improve relations between the
races but he does not believe in hastening
this process by Federal mandate.
Despite this defeat, the fact that more
! than a quarter of a million North Carolina
! voters wanted to send Dr. Graham back to
the Senate indicates a growing liberalism
in that state. As a. professor for 15 years,
; president for 19 years, of the University of
North Carolina he has been an advocate of
civil liberties, of the rights of labor and of
more high-minded policies than could be1
enumerated in a column of type. One jour
nalist who wrote about him last year report
ed that at one time or another lie had been
on more than 200 com mi ties for various re
forms and improvements. Once in a while
he burned his fingers when he inadvertently
found Communists on the same committees,
but he is as far from being a Communist as
Mr. Smith, or Mr. Gabrielson. One hopes
that tins defeat does not mean the end of
his public life.
Hot a Solution ?
From California to Now York, tho swivel
chairod occupants are talkabout the
Irish potato debacle. Everyone of them to a
man is so upset about the government losing
a few million dollars in its efforts to save
the growers.
Where were thone guvs when back yonder
entire counties w. nt bankrupt producing
irish potatoes? It was all right then, and all
right now for a farmer to go busted, but
now they are shedding their tears over the
government.
No one wants to see the government lose
money, but it is apparent that some in this
country want farmers to lose money. They
haven't realized as yet that when the farm
economy fails, all the economy is likely to
topple.
And before battering against the irish
potato farmer, let the attackers come for
ward with a solution fair to all.
Si into (Hit Error
Again, the United States cannot be held
blameless lTr strife in the world. No. we did
not launch the fighting.
But back yonder when Syngman Rhee,
president of South Korea, did not lift his
hand to wipe out graft and political corrup
tion ami delayed until fairly recently an
election, a vacuum was created and the
northern crowd was literally sucked in How
well the stage had been set for an invasion is
evidenced by the easy going of the invaders.
Something’s wrong somewhere. It seems
that just about every place we go, we create
| confusion, and set the stage for an invasion.
Surely, if the Koreans below the 36th
parallel had been given a taste of Democra
cy real Democracy -they would not have
toppled over like ten pins before a compara
tively weak invading force.
If hat ht Southern Democracy?
i _
Not so long ago something was mentioned
about Southern Democracy. Just what is
I Southern Democracy?
Democracy, boiled down to final analysis,
is majority rule, or. at least, that’s what we
have been told it was. If majority rule is
Democracy, then it is hard to figure out tho
difference between southern, western, east
ern or northern democracy.
And it would seem that it is plain old good
Democracy when a majority wants a living
wage for labor and a living price for farm
commodities, and not socialism or any other
kind of ism.
Be as careful of the books you read as
of the company you keep; for your habits
and character will be as much influenced by
the former as by the latter. -Paxton Hood.

First of the Fine Curs in l alue
The Car that puts
vour Best Foot fomaid
Wi think you’ll agree that the
whole story of an automobile
isn’t told in its power, its room, its
styling, even in its ride.
There is the all-important point about
what a ear does to you - and that’s
where Uo.vdmastfu really shines.
l\»r you can’t slip into this bonny
beauty’s broad seals without feeling
like somebody pretty special.
When you take its neat wheel in youi
hand—when you cut loose, with a toe
touch, the rich baritone of its bit
Fireball straight-eight power plant
when you feel the smooth surge of iti
DynaHow-eushioned take-off —
Man, then you know you’ve got a rea
automobile!
Tua« In Uftm I TAY! OA ABC Nth
And don’t overlook this:
That graceful sweep of chrome along
the fender — found on no other car
made today—is a mighty eye-catching
note of distinction.
Those four Ventiports, too, cause
many a head to turn - they mark you
unmistakably as the owner of the big
gest and best Buick built—a car as tine
and rich as any man has need for.
There are a lot of good, solid, dollars
and-cents reasons for making Road
master your choice over any other:
its size. The commanding perform
ance of its 152-hp Fireball valve-in
head straight-eight engine. Dynaflow
Drive standard. A ride that’s quite
matchless in its gentle softness. Dis
tinguished styling from bold, protec
tive front end to gleaming “double
bubble” tail light.
But if you’re ready for a car that's
more than just an automobile — if you
want one that puts your best foot
forward in any company—that’s the
real reason for seeing your Buick
dealer quickly—to talk turkey about
a Ho At) vt aster.
