We must keep our eyes on both^the major political parties, without^naving bag 1 ar.a baggage in any camp: we travel “light”, ready to move on short no tice, as our interest may suggest. o"i*A*v:iw<rw* Senator Joe McCarthy rubs some folk the wrong way. 1 don’t know him but “I love him for the ene mies he makes”, as someone said of someone else, a long time ago. Mr. McCarthy may not be a kid- glove worker, but he has ^ihearthed a lot of stuff that was a menace to our Nation. Down here in South Carolina we are not communists or planners and plotters against the Nation. Not withstanding General William Tec- umseh Sherman and Thaddeus Stev ens, the Carpet-baggers and Ccal- awags, we are Americans and we love our great nation. We have sbme men who can’t see straight, like the dog which became cross eyed from watching the flea on the tip of his nose. Some people who are intellectual, yet not intelligent, shout to us in their assumed su periority, “These be thy gods, O Israel which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt”, as was said to the Children of Israel after Aaron had made the molten calf to stand in the place of Jehovafl. The President, as our leader, might appropriately offer the prayer of Moses: "If I have grace in thy sight, show me now thy way . . consider that this Nation is thy peo ple”. ♦.* :: h «# *• ♦# :: :: ♦♦ #> M » # ft ft i.i :: :: « COMMENT ON MEN AND THINGS By The Soeotator regarded as a great lawyer.

What are the qualities and at tainments that should be found in Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States? He should be a competent lawyer of broad ex perience in the practice of law; or, even better, he should be a man already tried and tested by exper ience as a Judge. A Chief Justice should be a man of calm tempera ment, able to think clearly and im partially, holding the scales of jus tice in balance. He should not be a politician on the bench, nor eas ily swayed by considerations of pol itics or political parties, or political figures; as a Judge he must think clearly and decide the cases and the issues according to the law of the land, fairly, conscientiously, judici ally construed. The Chief Justice must also guide the great court; and he must de cide many questions of practice. Some men have, been appointed to the Supreme bench who probably never tried a case before the great court; some others were hardly re garded as lawyers, even in small communities, being politicians rath er than lawyers. The Supreme Court is he last re sort, the last refuge of a citizen. Whether the matter at issue be per sonal liberty or personal fortune, or any other question of liberty or property, the interested citizen, or citizens should be able to expect full jusice. Instead of that, we are threatened with decisions which re flect political and p>arty considera- tians and which are not steeped in justice, nor founded in the ancient principles of jurisprudence. ■We hear*- frequent references to two Governors as suitable men for Chief Justiceship. Both men may be eminent politicians, even excel lent Governors; but neither man is Ex-President Truman does not wholly approve the policy and course of President Eisenhower. President Eisenhower is giving the ^ead of merely calling him Charles field of Poitiers’? You may have forgotten Charles Mantel and his great service, but he was the father of Charlemagne, so large a figure in history that in country away, according to Mr. Tru man, and Mr. Truman wants to save the nation. The man in the street looks and laughs at all of that, as Robert Burns would say. I^e knows that ninety nine per cent I the Great he is called Charlemayne, as one word. The Mohammedans are still in Northern Africa, just be yond the tip of Spain.
