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”.

mere political figures appointed as Charles Martel in France, on the

Supreme guardians of our rights.
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

Mantel and his great service, but he
