Any weekly newspaper that does
not carry some edltoral ideas a-
bout politics, or any other sub-
ject, as to that, in Its editorial
columns, is a mighty sorry news-
paper. from an editorial stand-

You do not have to agree with
all any editor says, and he may
disagree on what you write, but
write whatever you please, sign
the article, and if not too long,
same will be publshed in the pa-
per you disagree with. Editors do
not possess all the brains of the
country, but they possess enough
to be on the right side, in most
cases, they discuss for your enter-
tainment improvement. Don't cuss
the editor out on the streets,
but answer him, and let your
friends know your opinions about
the New Deal, negroes voting in
Democratic primaries, or about
bureaucratic rule. You may be
right and the editor wrong: so
give your friends the benefit of
your wisdom regarding politics or
anything else on which you and
the editor disagree.

When the Government places a
special extra tax of some kind on
you, don't think same will be re-
moved at some future date. They
do not carry that kind of a re-
cord. Take the extra postage tax
changnig from 2c for first class
mail to 3c a letter. That has
been on for some itme and no
change ever made. The same thing
is true about most other extra
taxes. When they once place a
tax on you, they will always find
a way to spend it and don't kid
yourself into thinking taxes will
be reduced after the war. Na-
turally taxes must be reduced
some day or our nation will be
busted, disgusted and can't be
trusted.
Lead arsenate, used either as a
dust or spray, is the most effec-
tive poison for potato insects. Ac
cording to Paul Gregg, assistant
entomologist for the A. and M
College Extension Service, it gives
a good kill, sticks to the leaves
well, and gives protection for two
or three weeks unless washed off
by rain. Three tablespoonfuls of
poison to one gallon of water
makes a satisfactory tpray and
requires less of the poison than
dusting. But Gregg suggests that
If the latter method is used the
plants should be dusted liberally
Cryolite may be used with safe-
ty for controlling cabbage worms
until heads begin to form. The
poison then should be changed
to rotenone, which is harmless to
humans. Cryolite may be dusted
on the plants or used as a spray
by mixing three tablespoonfuls
with one gallon of water. Appli-
cations should be repeated at
weekly intervals.
JUST wonder when ceiling pri-

WE WILL NEED THEM
This data comes from a motor
j survey made by government sources
and official statements of auto-
mobile manufacturers, concerning
the prospect for what's what in
hall of what you read and you
motordom for 1945. Take just
have a demand that is astonish-
ing! !■' i instance, 6'* million for-
mer auto owners will be with-
out cars by July, 1945 ; 9'i mil-
lion owners will be driving Junk-
ers worth less than $100 at that
time; 17 million owners (53^ ol
pre-war total) will be in the mar-
ket for replacements; 1 million
former truck owners will be mi-
nus trucks. This concludes with
the statement that 18.4 million
cars and trucks, new ones, will
be necessary to get the country
back to its former transporta-
tion set-up. With a buying pow-
er that will reach a new high
auto dealer asks you to pay twice
the price this same car sold for j oy the end of the year, the A-
when new. you naturally back
off with a grunt and growl. How-
ever, you can put your old car
in on another second hand car,
get one-half what the dealer
will sell your old car for next
day after you trade it in. This
editor made a deal like that some
time back and the second hand
dealer cleared up $650 cold cash
off both cars in less than 2
hours.
VICTOR H. Waggoner of San-
ta Rita. N. M, the editor's bro-
ther, writes:
"In olden times when they had
7 years of plenty, Joseph stored
away the goods the lord gave
them, and when 7 years of drouth
came along Joseph fed the peo-
ple from the store house garner-
merican people are going to ga-
ter unto themselves 100 billion
dollars in savings by that time!
With the national income rising
to an estimated $150 billion, with
indebtedness being wiped off the
books right along now. it looks
as though many a Claude family
will be buying a car on the in-
stalment plan, when and it.
FANNIE BREEDLOVE DAVIS

scholarships, to be awarded for
the Centennial year at Mary Har-
din-Baylor college, has been made

sident of the college.

"In modern times when Roose-IM the first state president of
velt is running the country he
killed millions of cattle, un-born
pigs and plowed up every third
row, in our years of plenty. Then.
DEMOCRACY AND DISCIPLINE
Paul Mallon has put his finger
on one of our sore Spots in point-
ing out how "progressive educa-
tion" has weakened dlsclplnle and
the training of ova- youth for
the hard work of life. "Don't
make the Uttle dears do any-
thing they don't want to do." has
been crooned In too many schools,
too long. Many in our schools
have opposed this soft slogan but
without adequate public support.
But this approach to life goe;
far beyond our schools. It has
been a long time since anyone
other than our football coaches,
like Rockne, has preached the
sturdy Amercanisin of Theodore
Roosevelt. "Hit the line hard." Yet
Rockne and T. R. were immensely
popular with young men and old-
er men. They would be today.
Without discipline there Is no
freedom. Without law there is no
liberty.
It Is hard to draw the exact
line between "that degree of li-
berty without which law Is tyran
ny, and that degree of law with
out which liberty Is anarcy." Nev-
ertheless, the line must be drawn.
As was said In the Federalist
Papers; "The vigor of government
Is essential to the security of li-
berty—these interests can never b.>
separated."
No one can charge that Jus-
tice Brandeis was not a great
liberal. Yet he said that govern-
ment is the ever-present teacher,
and when it fails to support lav.
It teaches lawlessness.
No better illustration oi th's
can be given than in the attitude
of our government toward the sit
down strike. Under the first Na-
tional Labor Relations Board a
reign of terror was let loose u-
gainst American industry, which,
by frightening investors and man-
agement, greatly prolonged the ile-
presson and added billions to the
debt. Even today, if management
undertakes to fire a drunken loaf-
er, It gets too little support from
government.
This Is hurting the labor move-
ment and the legitimate rights of
honest workingmen. Outlaw strikes
are frequent and go unpunished.
Patriotic leaders of labor are hav-
ing great difficulty in maintain-
ing union discipline and the no-
strike pledge.
Terrorists stopping farmers'
trucks at city limits have been
given a free pass by the United
States Supreme Court..
When a prominent woman said,
"I never cross a picket line," she
washed her hands of all responsi-
bility as to the Justice of any
and all strikes, and the rights
of the public.
Some employers, on the other
hand, were at fault in the use
of private force against workers.
Without Justifying this in any
way, perhaps one reason was tha'
they could not depend on law
enforcement by the officials of
the law. Instead of resorting to
private violence they should have
supported the development of
public opinion in the schools and
elsewhere.
State legislatures, and no one
occasion Congress itself, have de-
fled constitutional mandates to re-
apportion the states for the elec-
tion of Congressmen. Sixteen year
olds who commit perjury in get-
ting a marriage license are ap-
plauded. Sheriffs pose for pictures
with their arms around Dillin-
gers. Crime today costs more than
our schools.
Americans love freedom, thank
God. We don't want martinets
to govern us. But a few Cleve-
lands and Theodore Roosevelts to-
day would make freedom more se-
cure. For at long last people will
accept tyranny rather than anar-
chy.
Tyranny begins where law ends.
And "tyranny Is a weed that
grows in every soil" as Edmund
Burke said —SAMUEL B. PET-
TENGILL
when the lean years came along
this same Roosevelt rationed his
people. This reminds us that we
should never, never, destroy val-
uable foodstuff the Lord, our God
gives us."
But for the sake of our soldier
boys, who were drafted into ser-
vice, without their consent. I have
bought ten thousand dollars worth
of War Bonds and expect to buy
2 or 3 thousand more if the war
continues longer.
