When such a Mil may be considered a com panion bill might well be adopt ed regulating the Federal Com missions. I marvel at the inaction of the Congress. True enough the Con gress itself and the presidents seem to have decided on acting as though there were no restric tions or limitations to their pre rogatives and no reserved pow ers of the states. The latest case of judicial arro gance is the order of the court that Prince Edward County of Virginia shall re-open and ope rate public schools and on a basis of integration. I quote a few words of the gov ernor of Virginia: “Gov. Albertis S. Harrison, a ‘country lawyer’ and former Virginia attorney general, re cently lashed out at the U. S. supreme court’s recent decision on P ri n c e Edward County’s schools, but declined to predict what the future may hold for the racially troubled region. On Monday, the high court cul minated a 13-year-old legal bat tle over school segregation in Prince Edward and ordered the county to reopen its public schools, possibly by September. They were closed in 1996 to avoid desegregation. Harrison told his weekly con ference he was ‘disappointed’ with the opinion. ‘It is erroneous and far-reaching,“ he said ‘This thing could reach alarming pro portions.’ Asked if he anticipated that public schools would be opened in September, Harrison said: T would not anticipate any thing ... I only hope that come September, 1964, the children of Prince Edward County have edu cation available to them.’ ‘Will the county comply7’ a newsman asked. T have no infor mation on that,’ he answered. ‘We are a law abiding people.’ The governor declined to hint what course the state would take at the Federal District Court level where the directing order is to be drawn. He said he had discussed the matter with the state attorney general but had not spoken with officials of the county. Harrison said he thought it would be ‘very ill-advised’ to comment on the state’s proposed action or in speculation on what the federal court would do. The governor said it was ‘the first time that a judicial body has ordered a legislative body: You shall impose certain taxes on your people.’ And this, he said, ‘raises more questions than it answers.’ There was ‘no reason, no prec edent,’ Harrison said. ‘They just isued a blank statement.’ He said, however, he did not anticipate that a special session of the general assembly would be called at ‘any time.’ That a court should presume to order a legislature to act; to impose taxes, etc., is presump tion almost beyond belief. Read what the Constitution says. Congress should forthwith de fine the scope of supreme Court jurisdiction in clear language, almost language so clear that no twisting can turn it from the true course. The Congress should not delay to do this. All states have a vital interest, whether Republican or Democrat; wheth er riding on the Johnson coat tail or cooperating with any oth er candidate or political party. FREE ESTIMATES!

All the Congressmen, Senators and Representatives, represent states and they should resist ev ery effort to by-pass the states or override their severelgnty. I must have wasted a 1st of time and money studying the Consti tution of the United States. Reading the daily papers I think some Congressmen and quite a number of judges proceed at ran dom, acting on their judgment, and unembarrassed by provis ions of the Constitution. That condition also applies to the va rious commissions and to the president. Wt might just as well adopt an amendment declaring that “Nothing in this Constitu tion shall be interpreted to limit the three departments of govern ment, any section or provision; but the wisdom of all officials shall be the supreme and final authority in any and all cases, undeterred by any constitutional inhibition whatsoever. • « • My little question of last week arises again: Why are we losing men and millions fighting in Asia? Why do we maintain hun dreds of thousands of men abroad in various places? Are we combating Communism? Surely not, for it would be insane folly to wage war on commun ism in relatively unimportant places while cheek-by-jowl with Russia, the home of Commun ism. In fact we are dodging the main body of the enemy while scouting all over teh world for small detachments of commun ism. Where is our common sense? Or have we fallen under the spell of foolish men and vain imagin ing? The enemy is Russia; the main force, inspiration and dia bolic program is in Russia. If we must wage war on communism why not start at the source? • • • I have become accustomed to the practice of claiming or ask ing congressional support for matters clearly beyond the scope of the function of congress, just as though congress had created this great union. But I do not expect to read that the Southern Baptist Convention had authoriz ed local Baptist churches to seg regate or integrate at will. My!! My That is enough to make some stout and sturdy old Baptists protest from the heavens. The fundamental principle of the Baptists is local self-govern ment and complete authority within each church. The Baptists hold as a cardinal principle that each church, large or small, is •n absolute and independent •M sovereign organisation, owing outing to any convention. That being a cardinal, funda mental principle of Baptits you may wonder at a headline in one of our South Carolina papers saying that the Southern Baptist Convention would leave the ques tion of integration to each church. Indeed! And when did the Southern Baptist Convention become authorised or empower ed to “leave things to local churches?” The conventions of Baptists are only associations in fellowship, but by no means or ganizations of authority. The smallest, poorest Baptist Church is a sovereign organization of Itself, deriving its power and au thority from communion with the Most High and not from Conventions. Baptists must be alert; already the Federal Government thinks it created the thirteen States and Constitution!! • i • • The Constitution says—with reference to schools, states, etc.: “The judicial power shall ex tend to all cases in law and equity, arising under this Con stitution, the laws of the Unit ed States.” • • • In all cases affecting Am bassadors, other public minis ters and Consuls the Supreme Court shall have originial ju risdiction. In all other cases, etc., the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, etc,, under such regulations as the Congress shall make. The Constitution even enters into particulars. The Supreme Court: “To controversies between two States; between a State and citlsens of another State, etc.” “In all the cases (before mentioned) the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdic tion ... as the Congress shall make.” Even a mere modicum of knowledge should serve to that the enter to open achools, etc.. Is • gross viola tion of lie sovereign power of the States and should be re garded as such. • • • My old friend and brother of the quin, Tom O’Connor of Allendale and Hampton, has something to say about the program or plan to abolish poverty. I think I should let Tom speak for himself, so here “Nothing fascinates me quite so much as President John son’s war on poverty. As I have observed before it is a war in which I was drafted many years ago and in which I have profound schooling. I wasn’t it is true, born in a three-room shack, but I was born in a three-room flat and while there were no Indians at the door there were other things like barrooms and busi ness failures which gave the settler a rough time. I think I can match anyone on the poverty bit. I started with nothing and have only slightly over come that handicap. Any day now the bottom can drop oat and wfceru la President Johnson? f «Mnk I should he at least n sergeant In the President’s war. A AM sergeant at that, because 1 have had more ex perience with make-do and do. without than moot men ever encounter. For a long time I even did without eating, ex cept for a howl of cereal and a stale roll for breakfast, an apple for lunch and 60-cent table d-hote for supper. I have a lean and hungry stomach. As in other wars the pover ty army travels on its stomach which is why presently it is presently bogged down and can’t get away. I could cer tainly give the president a hatful of ideas about poverty and ways to combat it any time he wants to send a ve hicle down here to bring me to Washington for a White House luncheon. “I eve nhad experience with “1 even had experience with piddling stipend to teach some tobacco-chewing women how to make baskets. I’d like to know whatever became of all those oak split baskets we made back in the halcyon days of 106. And what wag President WPA. No, on second thought, he’d bo smart enough to make me a two-star general In the poverty war.” IF YOU DON’T BEAD THE CHBOMKXJC YOU DON’T GET THE NEW* PHONE tSMMl FREE ESTIMATES Security Roofing Co.

How readily they pick up our characteristic pooee and attitudes ... always exaggerating to an extent . . . trying to be more like us than we art ouraelvee. Then I remember the day John and I made that thoughtful decision to join the Church and raiee our children in a Christian home. What a difference that decision has made in our lives. And what a difference it is making in our children’s lives. There’s no harm in youngsters imitating aftalts ... so long as the adults they imitate are worth imitating! ALL.
