?'tfferent Tune
Some farmers in some sections of Iho
country are singing a different tune from
the one they sang in the early thirties.
Out in Jamesville. Wisconsin, an editor,
claiming to speak for the farmers, is quoted
as saying, “They (farmers) don’t want a
theorist in Washington deciding long in ad
vance what price shall be placed on their
produce. They (the same farmers) want an
end to abuse of present practices, including
incentive payments for lime, fertilizer, seed,
and practices that are simply good farm pro
cedure.”
The article then went political, and just
like so many others, thoughtlessly or other
wise. would wreck the farm program if such
wreckage would help defeat the Democrats
in November of next year.
When the “bureaucrats” ran things from
Washington, they were condemned and be
littled by the same crowd that is now con
demning them for going to the grass roots
for criticism, sugestions and opinions.
If the farmers of this nation want to kick
out the farm programs they can do it. They
have had the oportunitv more than once to
do it. but the depression davs when peanuts
sold for a cent a pound, cotton for a nickel
and tobacco for thirteen or fourteen still
lingered in their memories and they decided
it was just as fair for them to have a place
in he American economy as those who would
enjoy powers found in their own organiza
tions and in the lobbies.
A dagger in the back of agriculture would
hill the farm economy without delay, but
.he free bleeding resulting from such an at
tack would soon drain the life blood from
the business man, the professional man and
all others in every nook and corner in this
country.
In this county there have been some val
uable discussions of farm problems in the
meetings sponsored by the Production and
Marketing Administrations. In some, if not
all the meetings, the farmers were invited
to gripe, condemn, suggest. The procedure
was as democratic as if George Washington
and all other Presidents had been there di
recting it. No polities was evident, and if
there had been a politicai angle created, it
would have been no more than what the
Republicans, the reactionaries, the near
sighted, the selfish would have created.
It seems as if some of the attacks have been
farms be promoted. One does not have to
made against the suggestion thatiamily-type
go out of Martin County to learn that the
greatest prosperity, the greatest bulwark
lor honest-to-goodness Democracy, the fear
of God and friendship for one's lellowman
is found on the small plot of land, operated
; , .i ked bv the .qwners themselves.
What a great nation this would be and
how much better chance peace would have
in this world if every farmer owned and till
ed his own land with a thoughful organiza
tion 01 government standing by to see that
he had a place and a fair chance in the econ
omy of the nation and world.
It the Republicans and others who are
determined to wreck the farm program
want to make any progress, let them start
by demanding the elimination of subsidies
to industry, including the hand-outs made
in the name of amortization and the many
others, some of which are received in a great
big way by those who would deny the farm
er of all rights and advantages except the
right to fight and work at a serf’s wage.
Something Should Be Done Alton/ It
During a recent term, six hundred and
twenty-three children were absent from the
schools in this county each da;*. About one
out of nine children enrolled in the schools
was out of school every day.
Some absences can and should be excused,
but the average in this county and even ir
the State is entirely too great and something
should be done about it.
Admittedly absenteeism is a difficult prob
lorn to solve. Rut indifference on the part ol
the parents should be condemned and tho
practice on the part of pupils of making
school and school work secondary in thoii
schedule should be stopped.
There are emergencies, to be sure, bu1

Bv Ruth Taylor
I know a retired judge with a keen sense
of humor, from whom words of wisdom just
seem to roll. He is one of those individuals
with a talent for getting the meat out of any
thing he reads, and he knows just when to
pas it on. The other day I was bemoaning the
fact that life somehow wouldn’t fit into
plans; when he gave me this sentence, “A
man seldom finds what he is looking for, but
he never finds anything unless he is look
ing for something.
To many of us just sit back and wish, and
then say prayers are not answered. But the
man who can pray humbly to be given the
power to do a job, generally gets things done.
The impossible happens sometimes, my
grandmother used to say. And when the im
possible happens, we usually find it has
been a mixture of prayer and hard work
that brought it about.
It is intent and action that counts. We
can't wish other people into doing things for
us. We have to be there when events happen.
We have to be ready for the unexpected. We
have to be able to make the most of every
thing. What we want may not come in the
form or the way we planned, but unless we
go after something, we won’t get anything.
We say we want respect, the respect of
our fellow citizens. As individuals we can
not make everyone like us, but by the way
we conduct ourselves, we can make every
one respect us.
We say we want to get ahead. If we pre
pare ourselves to be ready to seize the op
portunity when it presents itself, we will
be able to make use of all chances and we
wil get somewhere.
We say we want freedom. If we are law
abiding, self-controlled, we can use each
measure of freedom to the full and earn for
ourselves greater liberty.
We say we want good will around us. If
we are fair to tho; - with whom we come in
contact, just and friendly in our own deal
ings, we will create rood will by our own ac
tions.
We say we want peace to prevail in the
world. If we work for permanent peace with
all our energies, a peace based upon justice
for all. we can build a world in which there
will not exist the causes of war, but an ever
growing peace and harmony.
The seeking mind plus the abiding faith;
tlu' doer plus the dreamer—that is what
makes the world move. That is what makes
progress. We can’t gel ahead standing still.
We have to seek something in order to find
anything!

Right after the end of the last World War,
H. Allen Smith stumbled on a word that was
new to him—etlmocentrism.
“If," he writes in his book. Larks in the
Popcorn (Doubieday), “there is any word in
any language which describes what is wrong
with the world, this is it. Because of etlmo
centrism 1 have abandoned all planning for a
placid future."
The new Random House dictionary de
fines etlmocentrism as follows:
The belief in the inherent superiority of
one's own group and culture accompanied by
a feeling of contempt for other groups and
cultures
Our author continues: “There, in a single
word, is the tragedy of the human race
my persona! tragedy as well as yours. My
father can lick your father. My religion is
better than your religion and phoney on re
ligion. My kindergarten is better than your
kmdergaten. My college is better than your
college and shut up or I’ll smash, your bag
gage, mister.” Ect., Eet.

There is certain danger in the unfound
ed attacks on public servants, and those who
claim to be above reproach and such great
patriots are doing more to tear down our
government than ole Joe himself.
It is well established that able men have
withdrawn from or refused to accept gov
ernment positions because irresponsible
critics are waiting to attack like a vulture
would attack a sheep.
It is about time that the McCarthys, the
other Macs and reckless critics were wiped
out. It is about time that the motives of
such organizations as the Committee for
Constitutional Government be aired.
