Law Is Force
Happenings That Affect the Future of Every
Individual; National and International Problems
Inseparable From Locpl Welfare
Last November the American people demanded,
with an avalanche of votes, far-reaching changes in
the current policies, attitudes, and philosophy of then
government.
It will take courage and vision to support those
changes—for if we are to return to our traditional
principles of self reliance and individual respon
sibility there will have to be an end to the reckless
federal “give away” policy that has characterized the
past 20 years. No longer can the federal government
be regarded as a perpetual and limitless source of
“aid” and “relief” and “security” for any group, for
any region, for any individual.
Anyone can cite the tremendous problems we
must deal with—the Korean War; the menace of in
ternal and external communism; the still-present
threat of more inflation; the killing tax burden, and
so on down the list.
But there is another great underlying problem.
It is found in the way we have come to depend on
ever-growing government to resolve all our difficul
ties, to protect us against all the exigencies of life
from birth to death —and to make more and more of
the decisions that we used to make for ourselves. The
manner in which this problem is finally solved will
decide whether we are to remain a free people, or are
to drift farther down the road whose head-end is
servitude and tyranny, and a world in which the in

PEMBROKE JOURNAL, PEMBROKE, GEORGIA
dividual has neither rights nor dignity, and in which
the state alone is important.
We have long worked on the theory that a “law”
is a magician’s wand, a potential source of infinite
miracles. The wand is waved, a legislative act is pass
ed, and a goal is reached. That, apparently, is what
many millions of us believe or used to believe.
This is a fallacy that has scarred the pages of his
tory for centuries. Proud and free peoples have al
lowed themselves to become enslaved, and nations
have eventually collapsed, because of that philosophy.
The people said, in effect, to those who governed
them: “Solve all our problems with laws.” They turn
ed over to government great and oppressive powers
of action and decision.
Endless books and tracts have been written about
this. Some of the best were written long ago. In 1850,
for example, a French economist, statesman and
author named Frederic Bastiat published a pamphlet
called The Law. It is more than a century old now,
but the truths it expresses will retain their full vali
dity for centuries to come. Here is an excerpt from
it: “Since the law organizes justice, the socialists ask
why the law should not also organize labor, educa
tion, and religion.
“Why should not the law be used for these pur
poses? Because it could not organize labor, education,
and religion without destroying justice. We must re
member that law is force, and that, consequently, the
proper functions of the law cannot lawfully extend
beyond the proper functions of force ....
“When the law, by means of its necessary agent,
force, imposes upon men a regulation of labor, a
method or a subject of education, a religious faith or
creed ... it substitutes the will of the legislator for
their own wills; the initiative of the legislator for
their own initiatives. When this happens, the people
no longer need to discuss, to compare, to plan ahead;
the law does all this for them. Intelligence becomes
a useless prop for the people; they cease to be men;
they lose their personality, their liberty, their prop
erty.”
That is the situation we face today. We are lucky
—we still have the time and resources to save and
strengthen our freedoms and to assert again the great
principle that the people are the masters, not the ser
vants, of their government. We can turn our backs
on the false and deadly concept of the all-powerful
state. It will call for will power. It will hurt indi
viduals, cities, states and groups which have been
getting easy money from the public till. But the hurts
will be as nothing compared to the gains is bein'
free from political dictation.
News At A Glance
About People And
Things In Georgia
ATLANTA, — (GPS) It was
datively calm, was the first
week’s session of the 1953 Geor
gia legislature. While much of the
ibbreviated w’eek (the lawmakers
only worked four days) was de
moted to organizational work, quite
a few bills were dumped into the
hopper, but none of an explosive
nature. Even Gov. Herman Tal
nadge’spet bridge-building auth
ority bills—the only new major
projects proposed by the adminis
tration at the opening session—
may prove to be less controversial
than was first expected . . . Leg
islators, returning for more and
harder work the second week,
heard Gov. Talmadge, in his bud
get message, make an earnest
plea to “hold the line” on spend
ing. He asked for a budget of
$230-million (same as the present)
annually for each of the next two
years . . . How long will the Gen
eral Assembly remain in session?
Nobody seems quite sure at the
noment. The Governor wants the
solons to remain in session for the
full 70 days because, he says, no
constructive legislation is ever
passed during a political year—
and 1954 is a gubernatorial elec
tion year. Hut many legislators,
who will be candidates for re
election or for other jobs, indicate
they want to come back next year.
It’s generally regarded as a good
time and place to repair or build
new political fences. What pos
sibly may happen is this: Instead
of splitting the current session
into 40 days (now) and 30 days
(saved for next year), which has
been the custom for quite some
time, the lawmakers may remain
in session for 50 days now; come
back for 20 days next year.
AROUND GEORGIA: A fund of
$16,780 from 1953 March of Dimes
contributions will insure continua
tion of the physical and occupa
tional therapy teaching program at
Georgia’s Warm Springs Founda
tion, according to Basil O’Connor,
president of the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis . . .
Speaking of polio and Georgia's
part in combating the insidious
disease, hundreds of patients, some
in wheel chairs and some on roller
stretchers, participated in the re
cent 25th anniversary of the
founding of the Warm Springs
Foundation, a non-profit organi
zation founded by the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt, himself a victim,
who died at Warm Springs’ Little
White House. Each patient re
ceived a copy of the book, “Roose
velt and the Warm Springs Story,’
from the author, Turnley Walker,
and words of encouragement from
Foundation President O’Connor

Mann Brings Wyatt
Back To Crackers
ATLANTA, — (GPS) The At
lanta Crackers, always a favorite
' with baseball fans throughout the
state, once again will have that
distinct Georgia flavor. Reason:
President Earl Mann is bringing
Whitlow Wyatt, ex-big leaguer
pitcher and pride of Buchanan and
Haralson County, back to Ponce
De Leon Park as a coach this
season.
Wyatt, who is considered one
of baseball’s shrewdest pitching
instructors, served with the
| Crackers as coach during the 1950
and 1951 seasons, but was in
eligible last year when the South
ern Association adopted a “no
coach” rule. Lifting of this rule
at the association’s recent winter
meeting, however, enabled Mann
to again bring Whit into the
fold.
Mann figures the 45-year-old
Wyatt, a veteran of 20 seasons in
baseball (18 as a pitcher; two as
a coach), not only will be valuable
in working with the pitching staff,
but he will be of much help as
an assistant to Gene Maunch,
newly-acquired 27-yeer-old second
baseman, who will make his debut
as a manager. All in all, the genial
Mr. Mann is pretty well pleased
at the moment over the Crackers’
prospects for the 1953 season.
