But it seems awfuallv hard to believe that General Eisenhower really wants to do that- and has the ability. Do you thing he has? Do you think the Taft Nixoi -McCarthy-,lenner arrangement is negligible? Frankly, it has seemed to me that the organizational corruption of the Democratic Party was much the lesser evil when put against the corruption of compromise with the past which seems to me so evident in the Republican Party Dos Angeles Troubled Republican \ nl hi lit: I'xiiii fit \\ hen toe Republicans go into action noth in# is ( >:cmpt from attack, including all that's good and noble They have worked over innocent persons and even attacked that which they were directly or indiroctlv responsible for. The latest attack taking place in this area was directed at Washington’s High School band. They said that the band had no busi ness going and playing for a Democratic ral ly in Robersonvillo last Thursday night The band went tlier*1 and rendered a splendid performam-t . a performance that Demo crats and F.( ;■> iblicans alike could have been proud of. The youthful musicians had their transportation apid and thev were given dinner. They gained for Washington good will. But the Republicans frowned on it all, claiming that the band was supported by general taxation. It is not known just how Washington’s band is supported, but many bands are financed in part if not altogether bv volunteer donations. Courthouse and other public buildings are used by both parties, and those buildings are maintained by taxation. Nothing is said about their use, and nothing should be said about the band trip. Possibly the band would answer a Republican call and per form just as well for them. But the Repub licans don’t seems to see it that way; they seem to get more pleasure out of griping and attacking. v My aim is good but ing tbr targets. someone keeps chang lie I alls 11 \l Hi eh Man's Movement' Smithfield Herald Writing from Dallas about the Texas oli garchy which is spending millions to get Eisenhower elected president, Joseph Alsop, f‘i|utl.«*H Jk'.\d W-f.ltUii'ton rnMVSpu/ulenl says: "In plain language, it is a rich man’s movement.” The same might be said of the huge ef fort. in which certain Southern Democrats have joined, to carry Southern states for the Cl. (). P. One issue is the tick lands oil dc posits. On this question former Diaiccrats argue that it may best be handled by the states concerned. But the big oil compaines, which are financing so much of the publicity and advertising for Eisenhower, are not state organizations. Their operations cross and recross state lines, and to deal With so massive an affair as, say. the Standard Oil Company with any power less than that if the federal government is to try to push an elephant with a pine straw. As the campaign has developed, it has be come ever clearer that the movement to boost Eisenhower into the White House is a rich man’s movement everywhere. On this point Alsop writes further: "The intensity of the pro-Eisenhower ef fort is astonishing. Estimates of the sums that are being and will be spent to carry this one state (Texas) for the General run from $3,000,000 to $0,000,000; and the imagi nation boggles at the amounts the Republi can National Committee is taking out of i i .\,is fui ixpcniiiiuii cist1 whir a . In cities like Dallas and Houston pressure for Eisen hower is so strong that aspiring lawyers and business men are genuinely afraid not to de I clare for the General.” Ill fares the land, it might be said, where fat bank accounts can slug liberty to death, whether it be individual or social liberty. There are plenty of citizens living who can remember when the Republican leaders, es pecially Mark Hanna, fried the fat out of the big corporations and scared them into fi nancing a campaign against William J. Bry an which triumphantly elected McKinley. That inauguarted an era in which the pock etbook governed politics until the depres sion of 1929-33 brough F. D. Roosevelt to the rescue of a bankruptcy and gasping eco nomy. Some of the forces nursed and made strong by Hanna are again in operation to day. The y have got their confidence and ar rogance and above all their bank accounts back. No wonder there are "We Like Ike” signs on the backs of long and glittering automobiles. "Ilr Is I hiumlftlfiftthlf Mon" t 15v Ruth Taylor "He is ;i knowladgeable man.” When 1 first hoard that said. 1 thought to myself “Now that is a nice phrase. I wish someone would say it of me.” Think it over. It is a word that grows on you. It has not the cold precision of “know ing” or “well-educated,” nor the deadly dull ness of “experienced,’ ’nor the brittle shine of "brilliant.” Knowledgeable is a warm and growing word. It means that a man is using his know ledge to gain more knowledge, that he is capable of applying what he knows, that he has an ability to use learning as a part of his daily life, to change with the times and ' occasions, to be constructive in his thinking. | Our world today is not a static thing. It \ is kinetic—or active. There is no assurance that anything will be one day as it was the day before. Scientific discoveries are‘'natur al phenomena, not miracles. Doordays are being opened in what seemed to be blank walls. And the mind of man must keep pace. A knowledgebale man is a receptive man. His mind is not a musty bookshelf, but a radio-receptive to the charged waves of the air He does not make arbitrary dicta. He does state facts, but in the assumption that there is much he does not yet know—and that he wants to learn. A knowledgeable man is a good worker. He tackles even the simplest problem of his daily life with a desire to do his best and to jmprovo that best. A knowledgeable man is a good citizen. He does not shirk his share of community responsibilities. He tries to find out all he can about the government in which he has so large a part. And he is willing to work with as well as for people. He has his own opinions—but he accepts the will of the ma joirty while reserving to himself the right of dissent. A knowledgeable man is a good friend He does not assume what he has not seen, nor impute what he does not know. He be lieves in his own judgment of people—but his judgment is tolerant and kind. He is understanding. Centuries ago this rule was laid down for us—but too often we have forgotten the command as given in the Book of Proverbs. “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting, get understanding.” 'It s Time For A Change' MASON DIXON LINE civil l Rights kspeech1 I EXPLOSIONS KILL THEY MUST BE PREVENTED/ NEVER* NO NEVER POUR OIL INTO A STOVE TO BOOST THE FIRE , f IW fACTS 4 Jamesville Plans Halloween Parly A talent show wilt be one of the main attractions at the Hallo ween Carnival in Jamesville, Fri day, Oet.
