A boy died last night. It doesn’t make much difference now about his name. The important thing is that he died, in .poignant and awful loneli ness, out somewhere on a waste of sand, out in a starless silence, ten thousand miles from home. “Missing in action,” read an ob scure line in this morning’s com munique. That was all. Now he lies there, crumpled beside thej twisted wreckage that yesterday I was his ship, riding high in the sun- | lit heavens. The fine head and the shining face and the broad shoulders remain only in a picture that looks out upon a quiet living-room on a shaded street an eternity away. • • * Last night, in those agonizing hours of unspeakable isolation, he went through a thousand deaths without the one thing that might have helped a little—the sound of familiar voice, the pat of a friendly hand. Many people died last night in their beds at home, surrounded by those who cared. Last night he died in utter desolation, in unimaginable loneliness. The pain was terrible enough. But then there had to be that dreadful burden of thought in those endless By Ethel L. Counts and u , Inelle Broad Clemson asks us to consider how to get more food out of the garden. We can produce much more if Vic tory gardeners will plan, plant, and take care of their gardens so that these produce all summer and late into the fall.

He died last night, you see. There’s no way to get around that. Home Demonstration Column SPECTATOR What U inflation ? One might think that a hundred million dollars in in creased wages would not be infla tionary, though a hundred million to farmers would be inflationary.., Doesn’t “make sense’, does it?

Here is a list of things that you can follow with a second sowing each year: Snap beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, kale, lettuce, green onions, radishes, spring turnips, endive, broccoli, and spinach. You can plant a second crop of each of these same vegetables and so in crease the yield of your ground for the year or, vary them, if you wish. NOTE OF APPRECIATION Realizing that I won’t be able to see all the friends and loved ones that sent cards, letters and flowers while I was in the hospital, I take this method of thanking each and everyone of you. I am deply grateful to all and want you to know how much you brightened the dark hours of pain and sickness I also want to thank the nurses and sisters of Pro vidence' hospital for their many, many deeds of kindness and atten tions, and Doctor Bunch. Well (Doc you are tops). May God bless every one of you and care for you as he did me. Thanks a million. Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Spearman. ; South Carolina, Texas and Missis sippi have broken from the meek subservience which has characteriz ed the South toward the New Deal. These States have declared them selves, at least in a manner. Whether they really mean business, or will al low themselves to be bamboozled again is something to -think about. The South kept the Democratic party alive for sixty-seven years. Part of the time Democracy was triumphant, but in triumph and in defeat Democracy meant something; it had principles. It was poor and proud but steadfast. It was no poly- got group of influences seeking only jobs. It wanted the job but it would not sacrifice principles for jobs. To day there is a group called Democra cy in .power, but it is a letoel only. The truth is that the Democratic or ganization is used as a refuge and springboard for elements which are by no means Democratic; and in the name of Democracy we are endan gered, we real Democrats. Some of our own people have swallowed all the Communism and Socialism, just as the ancient Jews cried aloud for the flesbpots of Egypt, with servi tude, rather than trust to the guid ance of Jehovah. Milton says, “Some men prefer BONDAGE IN EASE rather than STRENUOUS LIBERTY.” Alas and alike, my brother; ’tis all too true— BONDAGE with good business, good profits OF THE MOMENT, even with all the isms and directives and regulations, Communism, C.I.O., War Labor Board,—all the annoyances and hairowings and harassments, leather than STRENUOUS LIBER TY, iightimg for permanent princi ples under which the nation and they themselves might rebuild the founda tions of enduring peace and oppor tunity. up a special Board or Commission of Appeals in Washington. How can the Executive, or 'even the Congress forbid appeals to the courts? What is the function of the courts? How can Congress or the President take from the courts the prerogative to hear the grievances of citizens? How can they firbid a citizen to seek redress in the courts ? True enough it is that one may not sue the gov ernment without its consent, but why should one (be denied the opportunity to defend himself in court? The Constitution says: “THE JU DICIAL POWER of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” That is clear; jthe JUDICIAL POWER is vested in j the courts, not in Congress and not in the President. Congress may create courts but it cannot take from .the courts the JUDICIAL POWER. ;Nor can it create anything or ordain anything to take from the Supreme Court its supreme judicial function. Congress has done things of this na ture, and so has the President, but here is the Supreme law of the land. And it is clear enough for any lay man to understand. For example, Congress may build a battleship, but it may not direct where it shall go. ITS NOW 00 Him AMERICA! you must do mcr? than ever before! H E’S COME back from the bloody battle of Tarawa.

Copeland The Governor of Texas has called on the Federal official who is ad ministering a Federal “directive” about equality of pay and equality of work—and all that—to inform him whether the Federal man is proceed ing contrary to the laws of the State of Texas. No reply has been received, though the official did an nounce his resignation .saying he needed “a long vacation.” This Federal Fair Employment Practices Commission is another of the agencies created by the Presi dent and is demanding the employ ment of all races in all plants with out discrimination as to race etc. Recently a concern in Dallas, Texas, advertised for colored men for cer tain work. This FEPC officer wrote to the concern that its advertisement was a violation of the general order. Now where are we? I’ve never seen so much grain over ready to be cut. Our people have made a lot of wheat, oats, and rye; let us hope that they don’t lose what they’ve made. Are our elections mere swindles? Is our Democratic Primary a farcial proceeding which merely gives re spectability to fraud? Within a month, several citizens have said to me “I know that — election was stolen; I know how it was done.” I’ve heard so much of it that I'm becom ing nauseated. Then again, I hear this: “X is the fellow who fixes the election for Y.” I’m not so innocent as to think that our lections are 100 percent like snow, but why shouldn't they be stritetly honest ? What hope is there for a so-called representative The Government’s course in the Montgomery Ward case has brought shatply to our attention the dangers of bureaucratic sway. Our South Carolina Attorney-General has said something of value, in this connec tion: Congress should write its enact ments so clearly that they would not be susceptible of two or three inter- p t tions. In the case of the War Lebor Board, however, it is not a case of double meaning; Congress did not create the War Labor Board; it was created by President Roose velt The Congress did not dissolve it; it meekly yielded to Mr. Roose velt, as it has frequently done. Students of the government may well wonder what sort of government we have. In the Constitution three branches of the government are coated, legislative, executive and Ju dicial. They are said to be' co-ordi nate, or equal, each being more or less independent, except as the Con stitution ordained the so-called checks and balances, one on the oth er. Ordinarily, the Executive may not assume or perform any judicial func tion; nor may the Congress perform judicial or executive functions; nor may the court make laws. Clearly the Constitution vests only Congress with legislative power. “AH legisla tive powers HEREIN GRANTED shall be vested in a Congress of the United States. . . . “Incidentally, the Congress is restrained by the Con stitution to “powers herein granted.” The executive has no lawful func tion in issuing orders or “directives,” except as a means of carrying out the statutory or for directing military and naval operations. He had no law ful authority to create « War Labor Board, nor could Congress delegate that power to him, constitutionally. An amazing feature of our O.P.A. establishment is the ruie which for bids an appeal to the courts and sets government founded on fraudulent elections? How is the fraud carried out? Like this: Put as many bal lots in the box as there are nartnes on the bok, even though the people didn’t appear at all. It is said that this is not uncommon Then, again, it is said (that names art added to the enroll ment and votes cast for them. One MtXDAY, JUNE H, 1144 such case, I’m told, was the enroll ment of the boys and men of a C. C. C. camp. There have been cases of men and women presenting themselves to vote, only to find that votes had al ready been deposited in their names. They did not protest because they feared physical reprisals, even ver dicts in court against-them. In for mer days names were taken from tombstones, but that isn’t necessary today, for there are enough dead men walking abput to answer the purpose. A man said to me “I was in the mountains on the day of the first primary, but I and all the family were voted, without our knowledge.” I asked what he did about it. “Man, I want to live there in peace. If I had raised a row, no telling what might have happened. Even trumped- up cases might have been made out against me with jurors who are in the ring. No, sir, I didn’t stick my neck out.” What would the Russians think of that for Democracy—in which every man is a soverign? The C. I. O. is said to have raised five million dollras for “political ed ucation,” meaning a political cam paign fund to elect its friends and defeat those in opposition. Strange, isn’t it, that the poor, down-trodden worker should put up all this money while the men who have money, and have a real stake in the nation duck and run to cover!
