squandering at home, plus the
spending in Vietnam, plus,
foreign loans arul grants, we
should have a surplus in Wash
ington of a very sizeable sum.
Who engineers our squander
ing ?
Who is at the source of the
blundering even in giving?
Who is to blame for shipping
expensive machinery all over
the world, even where the peo
ple can’t use it?
Beyond a doubt there is some
recklessness which cries aloud
for correction.
Among many hits of useless
spending, consider our military
Bases in Britain; France, Asia.
Hundreds of millions of dol
lars. Then, too, why are we
maintaining some military po
sitions in South America?
We could profitably reduce
all our diplomatic groups every
where and eall hack all other
s [renders.
I had a long distance call one
morning about nine o’clock.
Senator Rubin of Columbia
had just read his copy of the
Spectator and he was chival
rous enough to speak appre
ciatively to me, letting me know
that he reads with appreciation,
the Spectator as it comes every
week to him.
Ineidently I repeat that I’ve
-aid so often, a Senator is an
officer of the State, not of his
county.
Senator Rubin was interested
as an officer of the State, not
a.- Senator for or from Rich
land county. As State Senator
In- a- much a part of Char
leston as he is of Richland
county.
Likewise the members of the
House of Representatives are
officer^ of the State, not of
their respective counties.
It is a common error that a
State Senator represents h i s
county in the Legislature for
in reality he C part and parcel
of tile officialdom of his state.
The State Senators and Repre
sentatives are paid by t h e
>tate and are not higher offi
cials of their respective coun
ties.
I.ikewi.-e mu two Senators
ami eight Representatives in
Congress are National (Feder
al ) officials, paid By the Nat
ional government out of the
i'oderal treasury.
1 appreciated the eall from
Senator Rubin; tie is evidently
widt awake and knows that he
:s a high and responsible of
ficial of the -tate.

“WHATSOEVER
THINGS”
By DONALD E. WILDMON
Something unusual happened
over in Zurich, Switzerland at
a theatre. A man named Anton
Sergeivitch Tartarov gave a
piano concert. The billboards
said Tartarov was a great
Russian pianist, internationally
known. And at the theatre he
received a standing ovation and
cheers and shouts for encores
from the two thousand people
present.
This concert ended a little
different than most of them do,
however. When the crowd fin
ished cheering and the impres
ario stepped up to speak, he
told those present that Tartarov
was not really Tartarov, that
there was no such person, that
lie was not really Russian but
Swiss, and to further compli
cate matters that the numbers
he had played were not the
announced numbers of Beeth-
oven, Prokofieff and Liszt but
arrangements of the piano
player who was named Jean-
Jacques Hauser!
Well, the crowd loved him
just the same and still wanted
the encore. He gave it to them
and was glad to do it. The man
who was responsible for the
whole show told the people that
hi* invented Tartarov to give
Hauser an audience free of
few Congressmen and tell them,
because surely they must wish
to know what this means.

prejudices.
The story is uncommon, but
it shouldn’t be. It should be an
everyday experience. You see,
most of us who think we are
common people have some un
common talent that we can do
well—sometimes better than
anybody else in the whole
world!
And that brings us around to
the Galilean. He brought out
the greatness in common man.
Someone has said that is what
got Him placed on that Cross.
But He accepted men free of
prejudice that we so often
have. He lifted the common
man, made him important, even
made him great—as a servant.
If you are wondering why
the Galiliean did this you must
ivmember that He was Him
self a “common man.” He was
a carpenter; He made things
with his hands. Judging by
other evidence, He took pride
in His work and people appre
ciated His craftsmanship. And
look at the close followers He
selected. Everyone of them
wore common people!
One day, however, this Car
penter laid down the tools with
which he worked on wood and
picked up the tools with which
He worked on the hearts of
men. He went to the common
man,, spoke a message they
“heard gladly,” put hope and
desire and ambition and love
in the heart of the common
man. And they haven’t been
the same since.
The crowd found that even
an "unknown” can have great
ness. This is exactly what the
Galilean Carpenter has been
teaching since the earth start
ed spinning.
