SPECTATOR
What is a free press worth to
a nation? We must include a
free radio, of course.
Many of us have spoken and
written critically of President
Truman. We can do that, be
cause we have freedom of speech,
freedom of the press and freedom
of the radio. The Russians don’t
dare to censure Stalin, or any
other member of the ruling
group. The Russian press • and
radio are what the governinc; bu
reaucracy will permit.
When our bureaucracy tries its
hand at controlling us, we speak
and write our protest. More than
that, we sometimes excoriate
those gentlemen, until it amounts
to skinning (he hide off them, as
we used to say. I don’t mean to
defend our bureaucracy; far less
do I think of extolling their vir
tues: I am most deeply mindful
of the wise men who founded
this nation, and gave us assur
ance of free speech, free press,
free worship. Russia knows noth
ing of such freedoms. The Rus
sians have freedom to do what
the bureaucrats permit. That, of
course, is no freedom.
Here I am in South Carolina
and I dare to say that the trial of
Georgia officials by a Federal
Court is not only an insult to the
State of Georgia, but it grossly
infringes on the right of Georgia
to goveri herself. ,In like cir-
cumstances, in this State, I have
spoken and written at length,
and caustically. Why did not the
Federal Government throw me
into jail? Because I am exercis
ing freedom as an American cit
izen. I could not do such things
in Russia.
While I defend our constitu
tional liberties, I am not unaware
that many of our liberties are be
ing challenged, and even adroit
ly denied us. We must be always
ready to hold the torch with a
blazing light.
There is an insidious foe of
freedom, which frequently steals
upon us, in the form of regula
tion. Much of the bureaucratic
sway and strut are in the name
of regulation, the exercise of reg
ulatory powers. When a Feder
al Bureau or Board can contro
steel or paper, coal or oil — or
anything else—the danger is pres
ent that the administration will
develop abuses. Even in this
country of the free, that has been
openly charged time and again.
The fight for freedom is not
only a constant warfare with of
ficial incompetence, but must be
a sterner campaign against abil
ity which either is preverted by
false zeal, or prostituted for i er-
sonal power.
The radio is not as free as the
press is. I know no reason for
any more control of the radio
than for the press. All the Con
stitutional guarantees should be
jealously cherished and vigor
ously fought for. Freedom of the
press and freedom of speech
must be understood in our day
as freedom of the radio, under
the same general condition.
About two years ago I had a,
long talk with one of our lead
ers about Communism. He was
alarmed. Yet in two years we
have learned much about Com
munism. Our newspapers, our
radio commentators, our public
men, including our ministers,
have been telling us about the
designs of Russia. Three years
ago we were full of admiration
for Russia an^ her great army.
Never has a nation so stupidly of
fended the opinion of free men
everywhere as Russia has. If we
can’t get along with Russia, we
can get along without her! Per
haps we would do well to face the
truth.
When a nation calls us War
mongers; when it compares mild-
mannered Mr. Truman with Hit
ler, the relations between the two
governments have sunk to a low
level. Even those of us who
condemn Mr. Truman’s policies,
and the shallow reasoning
prompting some of his measures,
must readily admit that he is a
sort of average American, a man
of kindly impulses, one who loves
his country and his fellowmen.
Mr. Truman may be mistaken,
but never narrowly selfish; and
there is nothing in his purposes
but good.
The Nation declared a truce so
that everybody might attend, or
hear, or read about the great
world series between the New
York American League team and
the Brooklyn team of the Nation
al league. We can give our at
tention to Russia a little later,
but this baseball championship
is something of urgency. The
Yankees swarmed all over the
Dodgers in the second game, af
ter winning the first game by a
lucky break. The third game
seemed like a disaster for the
Yanks. They never quite recov
ered from the shock. Bobo New-
some, the South Carolina player
who began the third game as
pitcher for New York, says that
he had all the speed and curves
of his best days, but the Brook
lyn boys hit everytning he threw.
Bobo almost feels as the sweet
gi*l who said she had a
pitcher boy-friend. That is al
most a repulsive expression, I
think—boy-friend and girl friend
—well, anyhow the boy-friend
pitcher was in the dumps because
he had been slammed all over the
field. The girl-friend, however,
fairly beamed with pride at his
baseball skill. “Oh,” she said,
“You were wonderful. You
pitched so marvellously that ev
ery ball hit the bat.”
Bobo is a seasoned man on the
mound and knows that such
things happen. The great Mat-
hewson told of an experience.
Following his greatest pitching
successes in the World’s Series )f
1905—still the record, for he shut
out the wonderful Athletics three
times. Mathewson and his catch
er played with a raw country
team for a one game exhibition.
Mathewson, then, was at the top
of his form, the greatest pitcher
of his time. But those farmer
boys knocked him all over the
lot. It is that way: one day the
pitcher has everything and is
cock of the walk; the next week
everybody hits him. My old
friend and comrade, Reverend E.
W. Reynolds, probably has filed
away this story, along with the
Ring Gardner tales “you know
me, Al,” he enjoys so much.
I saw the superb Christy Mat
hewson pitch the game in which
he made only sixty nine throws—
no strike-outs, no bases on balls
—just pop-ups, rights where the

finders were. “Matty” was a
master in the box, an example of
fine, clean manhood and true
sportsmanship.
I met a lady who was just home
again from Cuba. She and her
husband have travelled over this
country and Canada in recent
years, and now are visiting in
turn the Latin countries to the
South of us. She enjoyed her
trip, but said “It was fine to get
back to South Carolina, the
finest place in the world”. Well,
what say you? The finest place
in the world!! South Carolina,
the finest place, in the finest
country under the sun.
How would you like to live in
Palestine, or Germany, Italy,
Poland, Austria or even Britain?
Britain, from which came so
many of the very ideas and cus
toms which make this a great
country! Even Britain!!
About 1937 I met a man in the
train from Atlanta to New Or
leans. The man had been to Eu
rope to attend some sort of In
ternational gathering. He made
it a family trip, taking his wife
and children. The lady was ner
vous and all unstrung. She talk
ed and talked about the trip
through Germany and Italy; and
all the time she was looking
around nervously and speaking
in whispers. Time and again
she looked alarmed and said
under her breath “Look at that
man,” or “That man is watching
us.” Her liusband would soothe
her and say “But, Mary, we are
in the United States; you need
n’t be alarmed; no one will harm
you here.” What do you think
was the trouble? Everywhere
they went in Germany and Italy
they felt the effects of the Spy-
system. Spies? Why have spies?
Because governments which live
by force, which are built on
force, must have force; must
have spies everywhere as a pre
lude to force. Such governments
do riot rest on the will of the
people, but on the power of the
sword. Aand such governments
can endure only so long as they
have the police and soldiers to
hold the masses in subjection.
In Russia a small percentage
of the total control 180,000,000
people. And they have spies ev
erywhere. In this country we
come r.nd , go; we speak our
minds; we are not afraid of po
lice or soldiers; we are free
people. So free is our country
that there are misguided and
malevolent people who would de
stroy the very freedom which is
the essence of America.
Even if we had a government
like that of Russia, by our free
will and consent, we should be
subject to the whims and the will
of a few office-holders.
We are so free that one man
has challenged in court the leg
ality of the pay of legislators,
voted to themselves, according to
some of the requirements and
forms of law, and approved by
the Governor of the State. Can
you imagine a Russian challeng
ing any act of Mr. Stalin* in the
Court of Russia?
Negro Is Killed
Result Gunplay
At an inquest held Tuesday
night, October 14, at the court
house, a coroner’s jury returned
a verdict that Lomas Sligh, col
ored, met his death as a result of
gunshot wounds, inflicted by
Will Glenn, also colored.
Glenn, who was held in the
county jail on a warrant of mur
der after the shooting Saturday
night, was released on bond
Wednesday morning.
Lomas was shot by Glenn at a
store operated by Glenn in He
lena, presumbaly after an^ argu
ment between the two men. The
shell from the double barreled
shotgun enterer Lomas’ neck,
and killed him instantly.
