In a statement of findings after a two^day investigation, he said that the players were “called the most vile names in the vocabu lary of the gutter” and were objects of ac cusations involving their integrity and the integrity of the game of baseball. Manager Garcia said the fan had shout ed at the players that they had “sold out. The heckling fan was a Knoxville rooter- one of those wolves who take! delight in hollering insulting remarks at home play ers whenever they make a bobble.

Letters from them are pouring into the headquarters of the new party and many of them contain pleas staW. It is a fact that many people have over looked tyat much of the opposition to the adoption of the oomtitution when it was submitted to the thirteen original states was due to the fact that there was no clear cut statement in it that the Federal gov ernment was to have only such powers as were expressly delegated to it by the states under the Constitution. Consequently assurances Were given that the necessary insertion would be made promptly, once the constitution went into effect; and this was later done‘by ihe pro posal and adoption of the Tenth amend ment, which became effective Wherf rati fied by Virginia, the eleventh state to do so, on December 16, 1791. The tenth amendment reads as follows: > “The powers'not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by H to the Statee, are re served to the States respectively, or to . the people.*' - — ^ For years this provision was respected by the Federal government but there has ''grown up in recent years a tendency to ignore it altogether and a New Deal-pack ed Supreme Court has upheld the Federal government in determination to ignore this very important section of the constitution. As we Jiave remarked before the ten dency lately hap been to make the United States a misnomer. The States soon will have no powers. i-x.- To Overthrow White Man w (4) Asserting that the white man is a fascist ?t ;; ; ' f 6) Asserting that the time hae come for the filial overthrow of the white man’s pow- er-economically and politically. .

One eannot blame play ers from resenting such remarks and it might be a wholesome thing for baseball if more of them would hpnf up these wolves after the game as the Knoxville players ^id. rife all right to holler all you please at a baseball game but the game does not of fer excuse for any one becoming a boor.

The Fruit Of Freedom , — The Burlington (Vermont) Free Press Senator Mayhank - His v&tory in the first primary over four opponents indicates the high regard that the people^ of South Carolina have for United States Senator Burnet R. Mayhank. It was a rousing endorsement of the stand which he ka* taken in the Senate for States Rights and of the fight which he has made at all times for what he regards as the best interests of this section and of the nation. He will go back to Washington committed to the same principles for which he has fought in t^e past. Mr. Maybank ihas had a rather remark able political record. He has never been defeated for publfcHliffice. He has served as Mayor of Charleston, Governor and as v United States Senator and filled all of ; these positidns with distinction. says: y* , . “The fact that under free institutions the people of the United Statee hav^ achieved the (highest standard of living found anywhere in the word seems to have confused many in this country into the be lief that freedom is a means to reach the goals of ease and comfort. But the fruit of freedom is not primarily a full stomach or more radioe, automobiles, nylon stockings, refrigerators, fur coats, and labor-saving devices. The fruit of freedom is a lifting of the human spirit above the creatui^l com forts of life to a point where they become minor, items in the journey of a through this world.” And that is something we all might pon der over.

He did it When ,Martin Dies 'was chairman, he did it when John E. Rankin was chairman and now he’s doing it when J. Parnell Thomas is chairman. One cannot but wonder why? The trouble with Glean Taylor, Henry Wallace’s running mate, Is that he apparently can’t think when he’s talking. And he’s talking all of the time. “If a man knows he is right he I ought to have the courage to-stand by his convictions regardless of the cost,” says a writer.
