MEN AND THINGS
“Toa much of • thing la en
ough”, said some homely phil
osopher years ago.
Senator Edgar Brown seems to
think that, too. I've been won
dering Just how well pleased the
illustrious Barnwell Brown and
Blatt statesmen felt in this hec
tic era of Federal domination in
our daily living.
Both of those gentlemen are
leaders in the State, not merely
in Barnwell. And they are proud
of our State and able workers for
the State. But in Barnwell they
are friends of everybody and are
constantly alert for their County.
I rejoice in the recent outburst
of Senator Brown; he has looked
on, sitting patient, calm and re
served, so far as I know, but the
Senator has fighting blood in his
veins; he not only is Barnwell’s
pre-eminent son, but he came
from the Horse Creek Valley of
Aiken County where people stand
just so much and no more.
Aren’t we, all of us, growing
weary with all this Federal rule?
Just how we reconcile all this
Federal meddling with the clear
mandates of the Constitution I
am unable to understand.
Read the Ninth and Tenth
Amendments; and then read why
they were adopted and what they
mean. You need not be a law
yer to understand them.
Under the thinking of today—
if anybody is really thinking—
the Sovereignty of the State is
just a myth, something for
cranks and fools to prate about.
As clear as .day is the idea
now dominant to let the Con
gress do any and every thing,
and today the Congress yields to
the President as though he were
a combination of all-power, all
wisdom, and all-Benevolence.
Even our schools and colleges,
our Municipal groups, our Coun
ties,—every conceivable interest
is bowing and scraping to Fed
eral Authority and then crawling
abjectly on our knees in obedi
ence.
How much more of this can
we stand?
Senator Brown spoke like a
man; I take off my hat and shoes
to him. “When you send your
registrars to Barnwell, send
troops also.”
Spoken like a man.

deterred by any consideration of
the Constitution.
The only time I can recall foe
President citing the Constitution
was when the Congress “called
his hand”, as we say. The Con
gress mildly asserted that the
President had invaded the scope
of congressional authority. And
then the Congress meekly com
promised the real issue and kiss
ed the hand of the President, as
usual, leaving the issue as mur
ky as before; and the President
carrying foe garlands of victory.
That was a clear cut issue and
foe Congress, having boldly and
crorectly asserted its preroga
tive yielded to foe President
and surrendered.
Now, then, what is a Constitu
tion and why do ere have one?
I do not expect foe average citi
zen to pose as a constitutional
authority, but foe Constitution is
for foe average citizen: it is his
shield and and daforaa,
certainly theoretically. Theoreti
cally? Yes, that’s about all there
is to it.
Now what is it?
When foe thirteen States won
their inrif pendents following the
Revolutionary war, foe British
Government recognized the inde
pendence of each one of the thir
teen, not foe thirteen as a na
tion.
And so foe thirteen States fac
ed foe world — independent and
sovereign.
A State is an Independant
Country. Great Britain is a state;
France is a State; Russia is a
State. So don’t be misled by the
