rise in wrathful indignation when
a liquor place was suggested. To-
d.ay. we seem quiescent, even ac-
quisccnt. The Demon Rum has lost
none of his power, but he has lulled
the opposition to tranquil accep
tance. Time smoothes over many
things, apparently. I am only com
menting on the Trends.
There is a feature of the TVA
that I wonder about: the very foun
dation of our American plan of
government is equality before the,
law. Of course it didn’t mean
equality of brains, or aptitude, or
b.rth or beauty, or strength: Not
all men are equal to one another
in strength or brains; not all have
the same home training; not all
have the same happy and prospe
rous homes. Not all tjte-ladies are
equally beautiful or qqirally en
dow. Some can cook and some
can’t; some try to cook and per
severe even through generations
though their skill in cooker/ is
quite debatable, sometimes depend
ing on just how desperate is your
hunger. And the ladies observe
that sometimes the high-salaried
boss is really only a stuffed shirt.
Well that about evens everything.
Equality, in our American living,
means that every person is entitled
to equal justice in the courts and
equal justice by his government.
Yet we find that the law itself es
tablishes preferred customers of
TVA. Certainly these preferences
violate the American principls of
equality. And how’ do we act, w’e
American citizens? We seem to be
eager for any preference that ope
rates in our favor. So, then, we are
governing the nation by favor; we
are discriminating in favor of this
group over that group. But it also
results in discriminating against
various! groups at the same timg.
We have our hands out; and we
can be so plausible in our argu-

ments.
We are not farmers or cotton mill
operatives, or mechanics, or mer
chants, or bankers; we are one
great body. The Orangeburg coun
ty or Marlboro cotton farmer needs
the great cotton mills, just as the
mill operative needs the cotton.
The merchant has his place and so
has the banker. We operate as a
team. Socially and politically it is
cf the highest importance that we
•have the farms maintained; the
farmer is still our -independent
thinker, the very backbone of our
Nation. But the politicians, both
agricultural and political manipula
tors, talk too much- The real farm
er is making his own way. He still
works early and late and lives in
close communion with nature. He
can appreciate a fair chance, but he
is net crying and begging for hand
outs; he stands forth in the dignitf
and majesty of his manhood and
