Hand-Picked Vice Presidents
The vice president of the United States
is selected in a most undemocratic method.
He is simply handpicked by one man—
the presidential nominee.
And, as we saw at last week’s Republi
can convention, the delegates then simply
rubber-stamp the presidential nominee’s
choice. This system is followed by both the
Democrats and Republicans, so that the
Ameiican people have no say whatsoever
about who the vice president, the man who
often ends up ruling our land, is.
The presidential nominee, it is pre
sumed. carefully considers the fact that he

Till POVERTY SCHEME
Among others, Richard Nixon
has made quips about Presi
dent Johnson's war on poverty.
He remarked that Mr. Johnson
was able to use at the same
time both prosperity and pov
erty to advance his political
fortunes (Was there a glint of
admiration behind this wit?)
With voters this year being
offered this double come-on,
Mr. Johnson will probably be
hard to beat The whole basic
appeal is time-tested from New
Deal days, that the govern
ment can make, maintain or
restore prosperity Os course,
the validity of it remains to be
proven That doesn't prevent a
politician from making a play
with it
The President also has in
sisted that he is a believer in

shows that he favors socialistic

Mr. Harrington has said:
“There is only one institution
in the society capable of acting
to abolish poverty That is the
federal government." So the
Administration proposes to
spend $962.5 million in this
particular action, calling it a
war on poverty. If the U. S.
really lias 50 million paupers,
more than it had in the Great
Depression, a billion dollars
will not be nearly enough to
accomplish the feat of making
them all well-off by govern
ment fiat. This is a fact the
liberals recognize, for they are
saying that many, many bil
lions more will be required.
Wrong Picture
When the President, echoing
Harrington, tells the world that
25 per cent of our people live
in miserable circumstances,
this misleading and generalized
view is enough to upset the
belief of some people in the
American Dream If free enter
prise can't beat that, the
Frenchman mig h t conclude,
then France may as well go
all the way to collectivism. If
Americans are poor through no
fault of their own. an Italian

that unjust land and return to
the old country If the govern
ment has to make work to keep
Americans frdm starving, the
Swede would add. then social
ism has proved its superiority
If the American dream, a
hope for generations past of
Europe's tired and poor, must
condemn one out of five to a
destitute existence, should the
system be continued' 1 Such a
question comes, you see. from
this distorted picture that in

America requires this kind of

OBSERVATIONS
By Elbert Forester
A FRIEND OF MINE says, “I
had a thousand times rather a
fellow who is against me stand
up and say so, than to sit on
his ‘haunches’ and be neutral.”
I agree a million percent
There is a story about a bat
who suffered through trying to
be neutral. He was watching a
fight between some birds and
rats, and he was determined
not to get drawn into it. So he
said to the birds: “I’m not on
your side: I’m clearly not a
bird, for I have teeth.” And to
the rats he said: “I'm not on
your side: I can’t be a rat, for
I have wings.” The birds re
plied: “If you are not a bird
you must be a rat"; and they
pecked him all over. And the
rats said: “If you are not a rat,
you must be a bird"; and they
bit him all over.
Maybe some of you, at least,
have seen a rugby football
game. It is different from
American football —the ball is
batted and kicked about a
great deal more in rugby. Os
course the ball is neutral; as a
penalty for being neutral it
gets kicked about.
Some people are always try
ing to be neutral. No matter
what the issue they sit on both
sides of the fence, as we say.
They are useless folk. When a
car runs on neutral it gets no
where and burns up costly gas
oline.
There was an ancient Greek
law called the law of Solon
which said that when a citizen
was neutral in a time of disor
der. after the trouble was over,
he should be considered a trai
tor.
Under the law of Christ we
have his words. “He that is not
with me is against me." Toward
God and Christ and all good
ness you cannot be neutral. A
boy who is neutral toward dis
honesty is really dishonest. A
girl who is neutral toward the
truth is on the side of the lie.
If you are not on Jesus’ you are
really against him.
If you don’t want your life to
be as aimless as a footbell or as
blind as a bat. be on the side of
Jesus. Remember that he said.
“He that is not with me is
against me.”

THOUGHT FOR THE
“WEAK” -When in the desert,
water is of much more impor

also, hate blinds vision and
without vision the people

A YOUNG MAN (South
Georgia) applied for a job on a
neighboring farm. He was
hired and the first day was to
“sort out” potatoes; grading
them according to quality and
putting in 1- 2- 3 piles. At
noon, he reported to the farmer
and told him he'd quit. “How
come-you’ve only worked half
a day,” inquired the tamper,
“Well, to tell you the truth."
replied the young man, “I just
can’t make decisions.” Some
times not easy.
HOW COME?—One “Old
gentleman” says his greatest
problem is to “figger out” how
he got that way in the first
place. (He may have a point.)
BOTTOM LINES—Come now
the story of a farmer who
wrote to a veterinarian con
cerning his “lame” mule.
“Some days he limps and some
days he don’t limp—what must
I do,” inquired the farmer.
"On one of the days your mule
doesn't limp, sell him,” the
Vet replied.
FROM THE PEN of Leo Aik
man comes this one: Three
men went into a restaurant for
coffee. “I want coffee with
cream only,” one told the
waitress. “Cream and sugar for
me,” said the second. “Coffee
for me. too,” said the third.
“Make mine black and be sure
the cup is absolutely clean.”
In a little while the waitress
was back with the order.
“Which one,” she asked, “gets
the clean cup?”
WORDS OF WISDOM—The
gallows erected for his enemy,
Mardecai, were instead to be
stained with Haman’s blood

the six-year old youngster who
never spoken a word until one
morning at breakfast when the
toast was burned. “Who in the

proud that the little fellow was
actually not speechless. How
ever, his mother asked him
why on earth he chose when he
did to speak for the first time.
“Up until now. everything and
everybody had been ok.” he
muttered.
MY EX-PASTOR SAYS—
Since the love of money is the
root of all evil, we can at least
be thankful that the dollar can
buy as much sin as it used to.

Executive Vice President
Southern States Industrial
Council
BILLION DOLLAR INSULT
President Joh n s o n’s an
nouncement that he will ask
Congress to approve a billion
dollar aid program for ten
Appalachian states is an insult
to the enterprising Americans
who comprise the citizenry of
those states.
The states the President
named are Maryland, Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Vir
ginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama, Georgia and North
Carolina. Those great com
monwealths, numbering among
them some of the original 13
states of the Union, should not
be put in a class with greedy
international seekers after
handouts such as Upper Volta
and Liberia.
These states have their prob
lems, to be sure. But then,
what state in the Union lacks
special problems? Even New
York and California, two of the
richest states, are invariably
hard pressed to meet all the
demands put on state govern
ment. But there isn’t any
groundswell of support for a
cplossal WPA project for the
Appalachian states. One can
be sure that the people of those
states and those communities
within them that have eco
nomic problems are much more
eager to get new private in
vestment than they are to be
recipients of handouts.
In the first place, many of
the states mentioned by Mr.
Johnson have done very well
indeed in the post-World War
II move of industry into the
South. The only non-Southern
states, Pennsylvania and Ohio
(how did Ohio get in Appa
lachia?) are two of the wealthy
states in the Union, and don’t
need a handout from anybody.
As for the Southern states,
their departments of industrial
development frequently adver
tise the independence and eco
nomic resourcefulness of their
citizens. Take North Carolina,
for example. The Tar Heel
State has been spectacularly
successful in getting new in
dustry, in acquiring research
centers, in building up its uni
versities and otherwise raising
Letter to Editor
There are ministers in the
pulpit preaching pacifism, un
ilateral disarmament and that:
“You have only to love God and
do his will and the Communist
menace will go away.” This is
contrary to alllogic, the Word
of God, and history. Time and
again God told the children of
Israel to go forth and do battle
with their enemies and that he
would fight on their side. He
didn’t tell them to, “love me
and sit still and I will do your
fighting for you.”
History records as. an indis
putable fact that, when a dic
tatorship starts rolling it

stopped.”
Never, one time, in 46 years
have the Communists deviated
from their avowed purpose of
pulling Old Glory down and
trampling it in the mud.
“Peaceful co-existence” is a
cruel hoax designed to lull the
American people to sleep. You
have only to read “The

piece of the Communist party
USA i in order to know that it
is a lie.

It was to Khrushchev that
Stalin delegated the task of
masterminding the two man
made famines in the Ukraine.
A task he carried out very ef
ficiently and which resulted in
the starvation of several mil
lion people, including women
and little children. One high
placed Communist official ar

There are those who want a

think of North Carolina as a
state with an upturned, ex
tended palm is to libel that
state. And that’s what Mr.
Johnson has done. North Caro
lina is perfectly capable of
stepping up its prosperity out
of its own resources, and one
can be sure that’s what North
Carolinians want done.
What goes for North Caro
lina also applies to the other
states. Virginia long has oper
ated on the pay as you go prin

management of public funds
has been the rule since the
1920’5, when Harry F. Byrd was
governor. It is ridiculous to
think of Virginia being marked
down as one of the states
needing a domestic version of
the foreign aid program. South
Carolina has made a mam
moth investment in new public
schools and in good roads. It
is one of the world’s leading
textile manufacturing areas. It
isn’t crying for a handout.
The sound developments in
the other states cited by Mr.
Johnson could be discussed if
space permitted. Considered
overall, these states are self
reliant states. What they need
and want is more private
industry, not presidential
largesse from the public purse.

Some Mental Retardation
Can Be Prevented
Phenylketonuria is a mental
disease caused by the body’s
failure to use properly an es
sential building block, phenyla
lanine, an amino acid. Nor
mally the body converts this
acid in the liver to tyrosine
which in turn metabolized by
other enzyme systems. But in
phenylketonuria, phenylala
nine builds up to high levels
and spills over into the urine in
the form of a by-product,
phenylpyruvic acid.
The disease was discovered in
1934 when a Norwegian mother
sought to learn the reason for
her children’s mental retarda
tion and peculiar, musty odor.
In a routine test, a relative, Dr.
Asbjorn Folling, found that the'
children’s urine turned green
upon the addition of ferric
chloride.' The phenylpyruvic
acid in their urine caused the
reaction.
Studies suggest that from
one-half to one per cent of all
mental defectives in institu
tions have this disease. It is
said to occur once in every 20,-
000 to 40,000 births. One in
every 70 persons is thought to
be a carrier of the gene which
transmits the disease. Half of
the offspring of a carrier and a
non-carrier will be carriers but
normal in other respects. Half
will be non-carriers and there
fore normal. Victims of the di
sease are the offspring of two
carriers. Theoretically, one of
four offspring of two carriers

THE DISSENTING opinions
in the recent U. S. Supreme
Court legislative apportionment
decisions clearly indicate how
far the court has strayed from
its constitutional role in our gov
ernment.
Said Justice Stewart: “The
court’s dracon
ian pronounce
ment, which
makes uncon
stitutional the
legislatures of
most of the 50
states, finds no
support in the
words of the
Constitution, in any prior de
cision of this court, or in the
175-year political history of our
federal union. With all respect,
I am convinced these decisions
mark a long step backward into
that unhappy era when a ma
jority of the members of this
court were thought by many to
have convinced themselves and
each other that the demands of
the Constitution were to be
measured not by what it says,
but by their own notions of wise
political theory.”
Said Justice Harlan: ‘‘These
decisions give support to a cur
rent mistaken view of the Con
stitution and the constitutional
function of this court. This view,
in a nutshell, is that every ma
jor social ill in this country can
find its cure in some constitu
tional ‘principle,’ and that this
court should ‘take the lead’ in
promoting reform when other
branches of government fail to
net. The Constitution is not a
panacea for every blot upon the i
public welfare, nor should this
court, orddinfd as a judicial
body, be thought of as a gen-

these states stand to obtain a
big new measure of prosperity

It’s true that some of the
mountain areas have difficult
problems. But mountain areas
always have problems because
of transportation troubles and
other causes. These problems
can be overcome by movement
of people to centers of indus
trial employment and by pro
motion of the valuable tourist
industry in scenic regions. Pru
dent state legislation, com
bined with private initiative—
such as the development of the
winter sports business in the
Southern mountains—will de
the trick for the Appalachian
areas. The effort to make
Appalachian out as a hor
rendous national problem is a
cheap trick that fits in with
the overall political design of
the Johnson “war on poverty.”
The public around the coun
try, and in the states con
cerned, will have the right to
wonder whether the proposed
one billion dollar handout is
simply an effort to buy the
votes of the ten states. If it is,
the proposal surely will back
fire. inasmuch as Americans
aren’t for sale—not for billions
or any sum.. Believers in free

that they stand ready to solve
their own problems without

otherwise normal and one of
the four offspring would have

between four and 24 months of
age they become moderately to
severely mentally deficient.
The child often suffers from
eczema, seizures, marked ir
ritability, severe vomiting and
a musty odor. Delayed ability
to sit alone may be the first
obvious sign that something is
wrong.
Several tests for the diag
nosis of phenylketonuria are
available. These include the
dropping of a solution of ferric
chloride on a freshly wet or
dried diaper. If the green color
occurs, the reaction is positive.
The protein fraction of all
foods in the human diet con

Treatment is designed to re
duce the amount of phenylala

safe level. A very low level of
phenylalanine is contained in
commercially available foods
and some natural foods have
only small amounts of the pro
tein fraction. The child is us

several years.
If this treatment is started

THESE ARE INDEED strong
indictments of the Supreme
Court, but well-justified, I be
lieve. In one decision after an
other, the court digs deeper and
deeper into the foundations of
our republican form of govern
ment.
Naturally, ■ many Americans
have become greatly concerned
about the continued usurpation
I by the court of legislative au
thority, by taking unto itself
powers it was never meant to
have under the Constitution.
By taking our country into
' the realm of government by ju
dicial decree, the Supreme Court
’ has joined hands with the execu
i tive branch which also is by
passing Congress and attempt
ing to run things by executive
' j order. Not satisfied with its con
; stitutional responsibility to in
, terpret the law and the Consti
‘ tution, this court, in effect,
makes the law and attempts to
' instigate social reform for the
’: entire country.
,' And in the process, the Con
.' stitution is twisted beyond rec
.! ognition. The federal govern
[ ment assumes more and more
power over the states, and the
’ rights and liberties of the peo
, pie to govern themselves dwin
. die away.

i reversed, unless the court is
■ curbed, I fear that local self
, government will become a thing
of the past.
