You will also m a ll that prohlbitkm was wiped out by the New Deal and one of the early White House social events was a beer party. * : Contacting World W ar Number One with Number Two and Woodrow Wilson wiped out liquor almost in a single stroke as a moral necessity m well as economic means of aiding in od winning the then conflict with Germany an her allies. This week a small bnt Interesting gathering took place In Washington when a number o f congressmen and senators met a t dinner to discuss tbe advisability of demanding legislation .th a t would stop the sale of liquor in and around camps where soldiers were quartered. This issue has heen before the public before but it lacked support o f both the navy and army leaders as well as the cabinet members that head these branches#of the government. The White House has been silent on the issue. * Today under governmental edict business had prices frozen which means business must conform to the demands or suffer the penalty o f being closed up,< Meantime not a word has been said about regulating the sale of liquor even to the. men, in service camps or regulating th e business in any way. I f you have cuffs on your new pants you are„a slacker. The sale of a nightshirt must be under government orders but the sa le 'o f liquor is unimportant to the welfare of the nation even in war time.- Y et from the same source o f control, which the nation accepts, we hear, the old story;—Prohibition Cannot be enforced. U . S . A REPUBL IC , NOT A DEMOCRACY Wo find an interesting, article in the May 13 "issue of the Congressional Record on a subject we have frequently referred to in this column and that is the United States is a Republic and not a Democracy. 1 - . * The attention o f Congress' was called to this matter by Cong. Bennett, Missouri, Who recites that Washington in the first Constitutional Convention, stated a republic had, been created and not a democracy. He called attention to members in referring to “a democracy,” which was in error. He described a republic as a government where the sov­ ereignty resides in the citizens, and is exercised through repre­ sentatives chosen by citizens; while a democracy is a govern­ ment where the sovereignty also resides in the citizens, but is exercised, directly,-without intervention of representatives. "The United States is a government of laws, and not a gov­ ernment o f men. A pure democracy is a government of men, rtiled by the decisions of the majority jn all things, "A republic has a written constitution which places checks - and balances upon all three branches of government), legisla­ tive, executive and judicial, The constitution is the supreme law adopted by the people for the protection of all, "In a pure democracy the will of the, majority is the law whether it refers to man's relationship with man or his relation­ ship with-God and religion T lje majority .rules a ll men in all things without checks and- balance^.and without limitation on legislative power . , » . Whoever would legislate without re- gard to the constitution does, o f necessity, ‘fly to anarchy or despotism.” • . - < Bennett also called-attention of newspapers and radio commentators in referring " to the .fight of the democracies against the Axis Powers. He asks: "Would it not be better to speak of the United Nations opposing the Axis Rowers? I know of mo democracy that is fighting the Axis Rowers.’* D A Y A N D N I G H T S C H O O L — New Classes Now Organizing — .* SPEC IA L ’CLA SSES IN , Dictation—Employing aviation terms.

In nearly every state some part of School funds comes.from the gasoline tax and sales faxes, With the sale of gas­ oline cut short and retail sales of all lines of merchandise dropping jnst where will the revenue Come.from te terry on as in the past? Tn Ohio Governor Bricker was looking far ahead of the Democratic politicians that campaigned in the cities for A division of the state surplus. The Gov­ ernor saw what was coming and took * stand, Unpopular is it -was then, to hold the surplus for i£e “rainy day" that was inevitable. This state will have school, funds for many months ,hy protecting the state surplus while other states continued the New Deal ipeiiditis program and now wonder where funds will come from te opCn heir schools this coming fall. Should *sso!ine rationing hit Ohio, the state VQuld lose millions in gas tax as well is sales taxes and eventually the ‘surplus” will be used up. Why states .hat have gasoline should be rationed Js causing much public' comment am1 Congress may have te act. Florida is mid to have plenty of gasoline ac­ cording to Gov. Holland and wants out ’rom under the federal order.. - Com and hogfarmers should follow lewspaper reports this week of the liscussioti in Congress, especially the senate, over the AAA appropriation nil. More than a few dollars “free diver" is at stake hi the fight to give' armers a fair Bhare of profit along vith war industry and organized la- jor. Political party lines do notfigure n the debate. I t is New Deal backers against farmers for the opposition <3peaks for the administration. After hour# of debate A compromise Was proposed by Gen. RUaseii, Ga., for the administration which -#ould permit government sale -of wheat for feet purposes at 85 per ‘cent of parity on corn or about 83c a bushel. Most of this wheat is Old. and said te be unfit for milling. Senators from the com states saw the trick and at once charged the corn farmers were te be sacrificed as lower com prices follow­ ed with lower prices for hogs. Sen, Gillett, Pern., Iowa, charged the com­ promise,was bnt window dressing to heat down the com farmer's income while cotton, rice and tobacco could hot be sold below parity. Sen. Thomas, fi.^Okla., said the bil: was a rope with two nooses, one for the corn farmer and one for the wheat farmer. Chairman Ed Smith, D., S. C. stated he' had long opposed the pres­ ent crop plan because it came from “downtown bureaucrats,” and added that he feared the “chickens had come home to roost,” Send com prices down and down go beef and dairy products. Sen. Liucas, D., 111., joined against the bill. Sen. Willis, Rep., Ind., charged the administrationwas attempting an­ other method to ‘-make a political football oat of the farmers.” f fc— l l * g We have the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth column* in public discussion on the war, politics and a M of ether isms. If we read newspaper comment cor­ rectly what the 1aiety,\Catholic and Protestant, have to say on the Roose­ velt pardon, of Browder, the Commun­ ist secretary, a Seventh column has been given birth. Few people will re­ call that Browder served time during the First World War rather than ans­ wer the draft call for the-army. Using the farmers as a political foot­ ball on the grain issue is as nothing as to what wilt happen under Paul McNutt's plan of Controlling all labor. In as mu'ch as McNutt stands by the AFL and CIO leaders on demands, 'the farmer has yet to face a more serious situation. He should read for the future, not today. Those who preach the New Deal doctrine and did not take their fami­ lies to Dayton Several days ago te see a famous stage star dancer, are not) following closely the ideals of Mrs. FDR, who sponsored this artist for a placa on a government war board to instruct the nation’s youth in her style of dancing. The proposal made, such an explosion in church and even political circles it was not long until the First Lady resigned her place only to be followed by Mayor LaGuardia, No donbt the whole idea was stage propaganda and we hear it was a fine thing for the theatre box office, the boys that always sit on the first three rows when dancing artists are billed say they had their money's’ worth. They are the real critics of what is “art and what is not art.” Mr*. A. H. Creswellsuffered a heart attack Saturday morning and has since been in a critical condition. Mrs. J . M. McMillan has returned home after visiting relatives in Cleve­ land for several days. „ The South Charleston Community Club takes a fling at the rationing au­ thorities.
