Much has been written and
said about the Los Angeles riot.
Largely overlooked or ignored,
is what might be called the new
Forgotten Man.

in New York,!
In Philadel-
phia and
many other
places where
mob violence
has erupted.
Often the vic-
tim has been
a negro.
* ♦ ♦
There
should not be
a blanket indictment of all ne-
groes. Like all peoples, they
vary on the social scale. And
like all peoples at the lower end
of the scale, there is a sub-
social element that can be in-
flamed into an instant rabble.
• ♦ •
AU through history, starting
from the market-places of
Athens and Rome, demagogues
have played on the rabble. Un-
fortunately all politicians are
not statesmen. Equally unfor-
tunate is the fine dividing line
between politics and dema-
goguery. While a statesman
understands that the correc-
tion of social abuses are not
solved by inflaming the rabble,
politicians often do not know
when to stop.
♦ ♦ ♦
Thus, they sew the wind and
reap the whirlwind, either
through ignorance, or through
malevolent cupidity for votes.
♦ ♦ ♦
Perhaps the current drive for
better education should start
with elevating the IQ level of
politicians. For example, when
the California governor finally
ordered out the National Guard
he proclaimed a state of insur-
es) National Federation of Independent Buslneie
rection. Now any reasonably
intelligent person knows that
insurance claims resulting
from insurrection are void.
* * *
It is to the credit of some of
the nation’s most reputable in-
surance firms that they imme-
diately announced they would
not seek any evasion of liabil-
ity by the legal loophole afford-
ed them by official stupidity.
♦ ♦ ♦
Neither is this statesmanlike
move by private business of
any solace to those not ade-
quately protected by insurance
who had their entire resources
destroyed with their business^
A new class of poverty has novr1
been created . . . poverty
through political perfidy.
♦ ♦ ♦
For after all, the most illum-
inating comment reported was
that made when a slightly
wounded looter was arrested
when he said “If this is civil
rights, I would rather be a sec-
ond class citizen.”
» ♦ ♦
Every politician should pon-
der these words, and despite
his hunger for votes, temper
his utterances accordingly.
♦ ♦ *
For it is obvious that in the * •,
sub-normal minds of those ne-
groes who become the rabble,
as well as in their counterparts
in all other peoples, compre-
hension is dim. Rights means
the right to do anything, with
no limits of responsibility.
* * ♦
Thus, those politicians who
have encouraged or condoned
defiance of law and order by
illegal demonstrations, have
on their hands the blood of the
Los Angeles slain. While it is
too late to save hundreds of
ruined small businessmen,
both white and black, it is to
be hoped statesmanship will re-
place political expediency.

I don’t like the taste of aspirin.
I realize that some people do.
Well, power to them. I don’t.
Therefore, I am not interested
in all these advertisements
about how quickly some aspirin
dissolves. The speed with which
the aspirin dissolves may be a
greater detriment than waiting
a little while for it to take ef-
fect. I will buy any brand which
will not dissolve till it gets past my
tastebuds. It can work too fast
for comfort.
That’s true of lots of life. I
don’t want the freedom just to
agree. I don’t want to spend all
my -time talking just to people
who agree with me. I already
know as much as they do. I want
to meet someone who will honest-
ly and intelligently disagree and
still live in respect, peace and
freedom.
I don’t want a one-party sys-
tem of politics. This means the
kind like the communists and
fascists want where everyone
must think alike. It also means
the kind where there are dozens
of little splinter parties, each one
built around some personality or
hair-splitting disagreement. In
both cases, the kind of party is
the same, one which can brook
no disagreement, so everyone who
differs must form their own par-
ty.
I don’t want a religion which
takes the challenge out of life.
It is always sickening to me to
hear people tell about how reli-
gion can solve problems and take
away worries. The founder of the
Christian religion said he gave
men nothing but a cross. He of-
fered no place to lay their head,
not but one pair of shoes and one
coat, and a strait, high road of
living. And a life worth the sacri-
fice!
There is nothing so despicable
as having been a part of the
pericd of greatest revolution since!
humanity was created and let it
all pass without ever being aware
of what is happening. To have
existed in the generation which
conquered more disease more dis-
tance and distatorships than any
which ever lived, and not to have
been part of the great struggles
of this time would be blasphemy
against the Creator, himself.
Let men curse us or praise us,
but never let them say, “I forget
who it was . . .”

SIX FLAGS NINE HOLE
GOLF COURSE TO OPEN
There’ll be nine flags over Six
Flags Saturday, September 25,
when the Six Flags NINE illumi-
nated nine hole, 3-par golf course
officially opens to the general
public for play at 9 a.m.
Designed by Ralph Plummer
and Byron Nelson for Great
Southwest Corporation, owner/
operators of Six Flags Over
Texas, the new $100,000 golf
course is located in the Great
Southwest Industrial District on
Highway 360 just across the Dal-
las-Fort Worth Turnpike from
the famed amusement park.
The beautifully landscaped
1,207 yard, par 27 golf course
which has been under construc-
tion since May 1964, was de-
signed to afford an interesting
and enjoyable layout for golfers
through the use of undulating
greens, five sand traps and his-
toric Johnson Creek which me-
anders through the property.
Full illumination makes the golf
course available for play both
night and day.
Distances from tees to the
greens range from 162 yards to

tilizer Distributor with grass seed

ard.
104 yards. Byron Nelson, who
spent numerous hours testing
the Six Flags NINE under actual
playing conditions said, “On this
course the average golfer would
probably prefer to use a 3, 5, 7,
and 9 iron along with a putter
for best results. Women golfers
might like to add a wood to this
complement of irons,” he noted.
The 59,000 watt mercury vapor
illumination system designed by
Burton Brothers Electric Com-
pany of Fort Worth, is, accord-
ing to R. E. L. Burton, vice
president, “the best lighted golf
course in the entire Southwest,
and I say this without fear of
contradiction.” Burton added,
“During practice rounds of golf
after dark, the 59,000 watt sys-
tem puts out 3,240,000 lumens
(measure of light) and the golf-
ers were able to follow the flight
of the ball from tee to green
equal to or better than in broad
daylight.”
The Six Flags NINE will be
open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
seven days a week. As an added
convenience, golf clubs will be
available for rent.
