Friday, December 27, 1&40 NEWSPAPER AND PUBLIC 8ERVICE In some (junrolouH quarters there is a tendency to nay that newspapers in the United States no longer All their anciont function of ronderlng public scrvico to tholr city, state and the nation as a wholo. It is one of those things that are easily refutable. Ixit's lake the case of the state of 1 Louisiana. For 12 long years?and they were mainly also lg>ng years? the state was dominated by a machine that seemed impregnable. It controlled the courts, the police powors, tho election machinery, tho treasury, and the schools and the universities. Kven after Huey Ixmg's ussasslnalloUi the niachlne 'continued to function. Then it was that a number of courageouH papers Which had been lighting I/ong took up the battle with even more vigor. They wanted to lift the state from Its thralldom. They wanted to oust tho grafters. They wanted to restore tho state to Its people. They succeeded In abundant measure. The Long machine was broken. Many of Its loaders wont to prison. Wonders have been brought about in six short months. State Job-holders no longer have to give up part of their pay to a machine. The state payrolls ,u(>w show '/ewer than O.OOO employees, lu-j stead of double that number. Today there are 20 slate agencies instead of 17t>, as under the old regime. More money Is being spent on schools and for the relief of tho poor, the afflicted and the helpless. The courts have been reformed. Supplies for the state are being procured at Honest market prices. Hut tho battle has not been entirely won. It takes time. There are those who still yearn for the fleahpots of the good old days and are ready to fight THANAT0P8I8 WILLIAM CULL10N lilt Y A NT (1794 1878) To him who, In the love of Nature, holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaka A various language: for his gayer hours She hus a voice of gladness, uni a sinllo And eloquence of beauty; and sho glides Into his darker inuHlngH, with a mild And healing sympathy, that steals away Thole sharpness, ere ho is aware. When thoughts Of the lust bitter hour come like a blight Over thy* spirit, and sad linages Of the stern agony, and shroud and pall, And breathless darkness, and the narrow house. Make thee to shudder, and grow sick ut heart,? do forth under the open sky, und list To Nature's teachings, while from all around? Earth and her waters, aipl the doptha of air Comes a still volee:?Yet ft few days, und thee ?. The all-beholding sun shall see no more In all his course; not yet In the cold ground, Where thy pale form was laid, with mftny tears, Nor In the embrace of ocean, shall - exist? ?. Thy Imago. Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim Thy growth, to bo resolved to, earth again; And, lost each human trace, surrendering up Thine individual being, shall thou go To mix forever with the elements; To be a brother to the Insensible rock, And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain Turns with his share, ami treads upon. The oak Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mold. for their roturn. So there Is need for vigilance on the part of the state's press. One of the men still watchful 011 the firing lino Is James E. Crown, fighting editor of the fighting New Orchitis States. He does not mince words. He knows that when one Is In a hard political battle, powder-puff (language Is futile. Old-fashioned moat-ax phrases are: needed. Editor Cfc'own supplhxs j them. When ho goes after a man, the , object of Ms attention knows It. He I Is likely to call a spouter a person afflicted with "hydrophobia of the J mouth." if he Minks a politician is a liar, he says: "once a liar always 1 a liar." That kind of verbal high explosive helped smash the demagoguery of the Ixjng machine. It Is most probably that kind which will finish off the' pieces.?Sumter Daily Item. | Vet not to thine eternal routing place Shalt thou retire aK>ne?uor couldutr i in mi wl?h Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt He down With patriarchs of the Infant world ?with kings, The' powerful of the earth?the wise, the good, Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past, All in one mignty sepulcher. The hills, Rock-ribbed, and ancient as the sun; | the vales Stretohlng In pensive quietness between; The venerable woods; rivers that move In majesty, and tho complaining brooks, That make the meadows green; and, poured rouud all Old ocean's gray and melancholy wasteAre but the solemn decorations all Of the great tomb of man! The golden sun, The plapets, all the Infinite host of heaven, Are shining on tho sad abodes of death, Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread Tho globe are but a handful of the tribes That slumber In Its bosom. Take tho wings, Of morning, pierce the Darcan wilderness, Or lose thyself In the_ continuous woods Where rolls the Oregon and Bears no * sound Save his own dashlngs?yet the dead are there; And millions In those solitudes, -dnce first ' . The flight of years began, have laid thorn down In their last sleep? the dead rolgn there alone! So shalt thou rest, and what if thou wit hd raw In silence from the living; and no friend Take note of thy departure? 411 that breathe Will share thy destiny. Tho gay will laugh When thou art gone, tho solemn brood of care Plod on, and each one as before shall chase His favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave Their mirth and their employments. and shall come And make their bed with thee. As the long train Of ages glides away, the sons bf men? The youth in life's green spring, and he who goes In the full strength of years, matron and maid, And the sweet babe, and the grayI headed man? . i Shall one by one be gathered to the side, i By those, who in their turn shall follow them. So live that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan that moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take > His chamber i 11 the silent halls of death, Thou go not. like the quarry-slave at nii'tu. Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy, grave 4 Like ono who wraps the drapery of rl.s couch About him, and lies down to pleasant (in nins jl Cruising ; I Around i 'i with ! i ' ' i "Skipper* Well folks, they opened the Sarafleld supper club lust Thursday night, and wo want to say that from soup to nuts, the opening event, in the nature of a stag, was a bl? success ? The city, the Chamber of Commerce, the county board and tho state press were all represented, and believe you me, a good time wub had by all. " Honest folks, I never saw such a prize winning lineup of raconteurs all under one roof before In my life. Between the sallies that came from Wylie 8heorn, Joe McKain, Lee Little,, Leon Schloeburg, Milt Smith and a few others, we gathered a score of stlches in our sides?Just from laughing, see* ICvon good old Joe McKain, usually as sedate and dignified as a supreme court Justice, put 011 an action picture that was a riot. * Well, It was a swell evening and we wore mighty glad to have Sam Latimer of the State and George Buchanan of the Record with us, just to see what flue club Camden boasts, , and also to meet the boys who nro putting Camden on the march of progress. * * It was quite timely that these two fine newspaper editors could be present, for If ovor two papers havo gone to bat for Camden, they ar& the two Columbia sheets. And I guess Sam and George realize that Camden has appreciated what they have done ?at loast, everyone took occasion to tell them Just that. It was regrettable that Mayor McCorkle could not be prosent, but he went down under an onslaught of flu, and had to go to bed. We also missed Hank Nlles and Art Slade. * Ellhu, Leon and Carl were ideal hosts and bollove me, 1 don't know when I tasted such steak as Chef Borini dished up. Smothered In mushrooms, packed around with French Frys, some swell spinach, hot rolls, salad, coffee, fruit cup and real apple pie?Hot Dog, It was sure good. And the new supper club looked flue. Everybody wished the lade sue- : oohh ami we believe that they will have It. Well, now that we have exploded on the after-effects of the stag, let's talk about something else. FoT 'instance? Santa Claus. From what wc have read In tho state press regarding the visit of Santa Claus to various cities In the state wo are firmly convinced that Old Whiskers should Join the fire department. He has been riding on fire trucks for weeks and to be frank, that's tho most disillusioning stunt human mind can devise. We'd like to publicly thank J. G. Richards. Jr. for the fine remarks offered anent this writer and news service at tho banquet given for the football team at tho Camden hotel last Friday evening. It surely has been a pleasure for your Skipper to have worked for the promotion of athletics in the high school and it was a double measure of happiness to have our efforts so greatly appreciated. As wo so feebly and stumblingly remarked when called upon by Toaster Bryce Herbert to say something, we have enjoyed following tho "team" us it were the past four seasons and wo feel a deep interest in all of the lads. Aqd we were so genuinely sincere In our wish for the future success of each and every one of the boys. * * Captain Colvin Sheorn of the 1941 Bulldogs?we salute you and hope that your leadership will be as brilliant and successful as that of Messrs. Merrill and .\lcCaskill, the 1940 leaders. Well. It waa a nice banquet and Bryce Herbert did a inaaterpiece of toaatmaalerlug. And the apeakere all beapoke sincerity In their remarks. There waa one flue chap who epoko however and we haateu to say that in all of the yeara we have been listening to theae klud of talke, hla earnestneaa. his deep sincerity and the manner In which he epoke. waa an outstanding epic. We refer to ^>ac1' John VHleplgue. What he said to hla boys, his tribute to the spirit of the 1940 squad, his giving of all credit to the two flue lada who captained the teams. Tonvmy Merrill and Charlie MeCaskill and Anally that game little banty, Billy Mullen, touched ua as no other speech of the kind ever did. No wouder the lads love this man John.^ ^ , Speaking of the high school grid lads? wish you could have seen them stage a furniture-saving Job at the nre at the Arnett home Sunday morning. They sure went to town with a series of end runs, slices through guard and tackle and even reverses. And they went down the field so fast and well organised that they saved practically all of the furniture. -"n The north Atlantic states (Maine, Vermont, New Haanpshire, Massachusetts.
