The Exit of Brown

present senatorial race, Mr. Brown
unexpectedly dropped entirly from j ability have been saved from the j

not make the race. i itself. *
The announcement brough politi-| it may not
cal surprise because of the wide
break in the legislature between the
Barnwell senator and Maybank.
Brown, in public addresses, bitterly
attack^ the governor’s administra
tion and had let it be known that if
Maybank entered the contest he
would be in the arena to furnish
some fireworks.
But Maybank announces, and
Brown goes into retirement. Not a
word has been heard from him since
Die entries closed. That is “mys
terious” politics, voters are saying.
There is a grapevine rumor that a
trade has been made between the
Maybank supporters and Brown fol
lowers. If that be true it would prove
an interesting revelation if given to
the public. Another rumor is that
Brown hais been pursuaded to wait
until the contest of 1944 when Sena
tor Smith’s term expires.
Regardless of what happened, the
public was stunned by Brown’s ac
tion. No one thought he would take
“cold feet’ or “go to the showers”
when it had been generally expected
that he would be a strong contender
in the preset^ race. When be ran for
the senate in 1938 against Smith (lat
er withdrawing fnmi the race), his
slogan was “Elect Brown, I will
bring home the bacon.”
There has been too much bacon

be in the lifetime of
any of us now living that such a so
lution will become an actuality. But
it is good food for dreams. The
trouble is that wars, while they breed
friendships between allies, at the
same time deepen the enmity be
tween those fighting one another.
When Orson Welles frightened
thousands of people with his radio
dramatization of an invasion by the
people of the planet Mars, he per
haps hinted at the solution. If the
world had a common enemy—an en
emy that demands the unitinig of
all nations on the globe to defeat it
—that would bring about the world
^solidarity being sought.
But ^rhaps some day we will have
sense enough to understand that war
itself is the enemy of the whole
world and unite in a crusade of all
nations to drive it from the face of
the earth.

of social case work principles^ It is a
great mistake to give a small amount,
that will, in some cases, be of no real
^ help toward building up a family. It
sounds good from the politician’s
standpoint, for he is managing to do
something to satisfy all his friends.
This will count very well when the
time comes for another election.”
Continuing further:
“We are told that more than 2,500
cases will be eligible for ADC funds
and that the applications are piling
up every day. It is unfortunate again
that the hew arrangement will call
for arbitrary reduclion of awards,
and we can just imagine what a
pickle the county departments are in,
as there come in protests from
friends against arbitrary reductions
that do not bring any measure of
security to families involved.
“We have no disposition to use
cutting language toward the legisla
tors nor to criticize them severely,
because they cannot be expected to
know Everything. In many cases they
are compelled to pass upon questions
that really involve specialized and
professional information. This knowl
edge of course they cannot be ex
pected to possess. However, we do
feel that all people who have ac
quaintance with the principles that
are now regnant in the social' work
field shoujd try to impress upon our
legislators that a mere dole of a very
small amount is almost a waste of
money and comes to practically
nothing.”—^The State.
