Sun editor has been swamped with
fan mail this week following repro-
duction in the Dallas; Morning News
of an editorial appearing in the Sun.
Letters have been received from all
over Texas, and a few from other
states. With one exception, all the
letters agreed with the editorial in
question, “Let’s Have Facts.”
The Dallas paper changed the title
and the first paragraph. It was all
right with Sun editor to change the
title, but he resented the fact that the
News changed the first paragraph,
for that change also changed the orig-
inal thought that inspired the edi-
torial in the first place.
Letters have been received from
farmers, lawyers, gin operators, the
president of a college, business men,
and from persons whose stationery
didn’t indicate what they were. With
the single Oklahoma exception, they
were all in accord with the thought
conveyed in the editorial.
Sun editor isn’t so naive as to be-
lieve that only one person out of the
thousands who read the editorial is
for the status quo. He knows that the
opposition is always louder than the
proponents of any question. As a
matter of fact, he didn’t mean to start
any great furore when he wrote the
editorial. It was merely a recitation
of facts as gleaned from the files of
this newspaper.
Sun editor doesn’t want anybody to

The following letter appeared re-
cently in the Dallas News:
“I am wondering if any of the old
timers remember the good old days
when Governor Adlai Stevenson’s
grandfather was Vice-President un-
der Grover Cleveland; when Coxey’s
army of unemployed marched on
Washington; when Eugene V. Debbs
called his ARU strike and Cleveland
ordered out federal troops to main-
tain order in Chicago? Cotton was

cents a bushel, and Cleveland vetoed

an appropriation of $25,000 for the
Johnstown flood sufferers, saying the
people help the government, the gov-
ernment does not help the people.
Yes, indeed, those were the good old
days.—J. A. Ardmore, Athens, Texas.
Sure, we remember those days of
1893, when every sheepman in Texas
went broke, and cotton farmers were
actually on starvation. Wool sold for
4 cents a pound, and we saw cotton
bringing $15 and $20 per bale on the
streets of our old home town of
Mason. Laborers worked ten hours
a day for fifty cents, and sometimes
had to wait a long time to get their
pay. Our table fare was bread, mo-
lasses and coffee for breakfast; cof-
fee, molasses and bread for dinner,
and bread and molasses for supper.
Beef sold in the local butcher shop at
three to five cents per pound but we
did not have the money to buy it.
Occasionally we had liver, which was
free to customers, and now and then
we had bacon which we managed to
buy at seven cents per pound.
That great panic lasted
Cleveland, Adlai Stevenson & Co.
were swept out of power and the Re-
publicans took over and brought a
return of prosperity under McKin-
ley’s wise and sensible administra-
tion. And our nation did not owe a
debt of billions nor were we con-
stantly “priming the pump” to feed
and maintain an army of bureaucrat-
ic papsuckers on the body politic.
Recollections of “those good old
days” bring memories of gross mis-
management, corruption and graft in
high office similar to what we have
under the present Truman adminis-
tration.—Bandera Bulletin.
Griffin’s SANDWICH SPREAD or
SALAD DRESSINGget the idea that he is trying to tell
anybody how to vote in the presiden-
tial election. Everybody in this coun-
try (for the present, at least) has the
right to vote as he pleases, and to say
what he pleases. At the rate we have
been going the last few years, the
time will come when the editor of a
newspaper will be afraid to open his
big mouth and say what he thinks.
It has already happened that way in
most of the world. America is the
one country where freedom of the
press is still extant. Federal controls
have been creeping up on the Amer-
ican people gradually, so gradually in
fact that they haven’t realized just
how much freedom they have already
lost. This creeping paralysis of fed-
eral control over the lives and voices
and thoughts of the American people
is to us the most sinister thing that
faces the people today.
The federal government has a staff
of more than 2,000 propaganda ex-
perts whose duty it is to give to the
people whatever slant on things cur-
rent that the powers-that-be want to
get over to the people. Add to this
propaganda machine all the politi-
cians who go along with the current
practice of misleading the people, and
you have a picture of why so many
people who do not take the trouble to
dig for the real facts, are informed
only to the extent the propagandists
want them to be informed.

Som people argue that inflation is
harmless, so long as there isn’t too
much of it. They say it increases the
dollar value of a man’s property and
that salaries have risen just as prices
have.
Some union members whose con-
tracts contain an .“escalator” clause
seem to think inflation never can
harm them, because every time the
cost of living index rises their pay
rises automatically.
The fact is inflation has harmed
everyone except a few speculators.
Everyone who has a life insurance
policy has lost, because the dollars
that policy will pay his survivor will
not buy as much as when he bought
it.
Everyone paying social security
taxes already has seen the value of
his pension decrease. If inflation con-
tinues at the current rate, what we
now regard as an adequate old-age
pension will not be enough for bare
existence.
. And not even the “escalator” clause
protects a man against higher taxed.-’
Challenging the popular idea that
we are “better off than ever,” Direc-
tor Herbert J. Miller of the tax foun-
dation" recently told the Governmen-
tal Research Association that govern-
ment statistics don’t tell the whole
story—for example, all the per capita
usable income increase since 1939
actually occurred between 1939 and
1944—and that such facts as the great
increase in private debt call for cau-
tion.
Pointing to the huge natinal debt,
he remarked that if a man borrows
$1,000 from a bank he hardly can
conclude that he is $1,000 better off
than he was the day before.
Yet that is just the kind of slap-
happy reasoning behind the attitude
that “a little inflation” is nothing to
worry about.

Alta Nell returned Monday from
Greenville where they spent two

sard.
