THE AMERICA THEY LEFT,
THEY WANT KEPT
Recently a Marine who was at Guad-
alcanal wrote back to his representative
that he wished he would "see that they
do not give away America while we
are gong and make us pay for it when
we come home."
That Marine is typical. The boys
want to find when they get back that the
Constitution with its state's rights, and
the privileges vouchsafed them which
they left, will be the sa'uie as before
they left. They want no handicaps of
hurdles placed there by political chi-
canery perpetrated by men mad for
power, money or office.
Our own Texas Constitution has been
in danger of being kicked about a bit,
whether for political aspirants who see
a chance to feather their nests o)r from
ignorance of its content, is a matter of
opinion, but the precedent of throwing it
out of the window in times of peace or
war, whether the step be taken by the
Federal government in violation of our
state's rights, or by the Legislature.
Changing any constitution is a matter in
which the whole people must have a
voice.
"This Constitution must hold," de-
clared Associate Justice D. Davis.
"If the State goes to hell, it will go
according to the constitution," declared
the Old Alcalde when told that if the
step was not taken for Texas, which was
unconstitutional, the state would "go to
hell." That was many years ago. The
step was not tteken and the state is still
here.
Oujr boys at thc^front have paid a dear
price for the protection of the status oi
affairs known to good Americans and
Texans and they halve a right to expect
that kind of a state to be still in existence
when they return.
Chief among those are the rights based
in (the bill of rights, the pursuit of their
happiness, the right to work, to be free
men in industry and enjoy the incentive
of profits.
While all of them should have the best
possible amount of mustering out pay,
along with the opportunity to take up
their thread of life where they left off to
enter the service insofar as they wish
that place given them, they are not ask-
ing the country where they were born for
largess. They only want their rights and
certainly this is one them.
They have taken the worst the enemy
can ,deal out and they are not going to
shrink from the tasks that face them
when they get back home. They did not
go away softies and they will not come
back that way.
They want the America they left with
its opportunities handed back to them.
They want the chance for a cajreer in the
world of opportunity that surged in their
souls when they laid down their business
or other life. To rob them of that is far
wqjrse than steading their purse.
They have a right to-Return to the
state with its rich natural resources pro-
tected for them. The war has provided
many opportunities for encroachment on
the deposits nature has placed in the
bowels of Texias soil. The long arm of
so-called necessity has set up a drainage
system whereby our gas and oil and per-
haps other deposits which our returning
soldiers need in the yea^s ahead, have
been drawn upon. This must end.
That is part of the America and the
Texas that must be preserved for our
boys when they return. If we do ;not, may
God have mercy on ou^ souls for our rec-
reancy in standing by the stuff while
they were away at the front of battle.

The 50th anniversary of the Green-
ville Banner with 92 pages of well writ-
ten matter and interspersed with a lib-
eral lin'age of advertising patronage, came
off the press Feb. 24th. It is a far cry
from the Banner of the days we worked,
fijrst as a devil, then mud hen, and later
as the job marPof the office, doing also
some ad work. There was no linotype all
the years we were there—that invention
had not been introduced in the south.
The paper was printed on a country
Campbell fllat bed press. Charley Dial
owned the paper and the city editors
were first .John S. Carver and later Her-
bert Gee. Those were happy days, even
though we got out the weekly sometimes
as late in the morning as 3 o'clock and
h/ad to be back on the job at 7 a. m. for
the daily sheet. We could write some
interesting ar.gles of that day and paper
which were not in their 50th anniversary
edition. One is, that we were the imme-
diate cause of securing the position from
which we were promoted as devil, for
Fred Horton, our boyhood dlay pal, and in
whose memory the anniversary edition
was issued.

At least, the war lhas done

was. about the most needless.

Imagine a group of concerns
coming inEo court and admitting
that they want to violate the
State Constitution and asking a
court to knock out a law so
that they can trample the Con-
stitution under foot and get
away with it! Well, you don't
have to imagine this for it is ex-
actly what a flock of loan
Sharks are asking.

The idea prevalent among the

White House tbat just because
we are fighting this war on the
same side as the British we have
to adopt their outlook, laws,
manners and customs lends itself
to some very striking analogies.
AVe are also fighting on the
side of the Russians. Does this
mean we should go in for vodka,
caviar and koumyss on the diet-
ary side, drive droshikas and keep
the purge pot boiling?
Likewise we are allied to the

mins. Green cabbage is also a
good source of calcium and iron.
. A versatile food, cabbage is
equally good when served as a
cooked vegetable or in a raw
salad. For dressing on slaw or
other raw cabbage salads, IMiss
Phipps recommends mayonnaise,
French dressing, sweet cream
with horse-radish and lemon
juioe, or sour cream dressing.
Shredded cabbage cooked in
milk is a dish which offers lots
of food value. To the cabbage
and milk, add some melted fat
and salt and a little flour for
thickening. It is necessary to
stir the cabbage frequently to
prevent it from sticking, Miss
Phipps says, but the cabbage
should be cooked only five min-
utes.
"Today, cabbage should be
cooked for minutes instead of
hours. Short cooking saves the
delicate, cabbage flavor and
crisp texture. And the stale
cabbage odor dofee not linger in
the house. But best of all, short
time cooking prevents the Joss
of food value," the specialist ex-
plains.
