By J. K. BREED IN
How has our Democracy
failed ?
That’s a good question.
I am on sure ground when
I point out that our Democ
racy has virtually repudiated
the Constitution.
From the time of Franklin
Roosevelt it has regarded tin
National (iovernment as all-
powerful and has set aside
the restraints on the Federal
(iovernment and has dealt di
rectly with the people of the
Nation m any and all matters.
Mr Roosevelt, as (iovernor
of New York, regarded the
States as important; hut as
President he seemed to think
that power was in and thru
him, the Congress, more or
less, tamely upholding him.
Once or twice the Congress
may have resisted him, but
rejoicing in what he regarded
as War Powers of the presid
ency he pushed the constitu
tion overboard.
It is true that Mr. Roosevelt
consulted the Congress about
war with Japan after Japan
had grossly insulted us a n d
sunk our fleet in Pearl Harbor
but Mr. Johnson has engaged
in a war in Asia without a
declaration of war and the
Congress has meekly supported
him with billions of dollars, a
half-million men and several
thousand air planes.
This whole campaign in Asia
is a direct and arrogant as-
. umption of vast powers not
lawfully within the scope of
the president’s prerogative.
licit' at home the Democracy
has engaged in a multitude of
programs which are not con
stitutionally within the range

as the Spaniard.- ay. espan-

convey'- an idea of utter be-
Wilde mn nt in our affairs.
We derived much of our gov
ernmental ideas from the Hint
ish or as a development of our
experience with the British,
primarily tie English, of
cou rse.
We speak of our Anglo-Sax
on relationship and what we
later derived from it or de
veloped from it.
doing back beyond the Brit
ish our people from time im
memorial were White people.
Regardless of what anyone may
think, or say, we are tin 1 pro
duct of Anglo Saxon ideas of
government and liberty.
Those sturdy men who re
sisted King Charles and be
headed him overthrew the
whole royal plan ami installed
Oliver Cromwell, with a gov
ernment, more or less of the
people.
In Massachusetts. Virginia,
Pennsvlvania and South Caro
lina we were imbued with the
English law and idea of lib
erty.
The Constitution of the Na
tion was written by men ed
ucated in England or with
English ideas of government
and jurisprudence.
In Louisiana the basic law
is French and their charter of
government is known as the
Code Napolean.
Those men of 177<’> not only
leu us into battle but into a
realistic political order.
And now comes the National
Democracy deliberately setting
aside our social order; and
created what appears to be a
vicious denial of the rights of
those who founded this Na
tion.
I do not recall any blunder
(qual to this in any other Na
tion.
Can you imagine the French
repudiating their time-honor
ed law and social order to
favor Americans? I can give
you a more compelling anal
ogy; The Japanese and the
old-time Americans were very
unlike. Now can you imagine
the Chinese or Japanese delib
erately setting aside their ac-
c ustomed laws and traditions
in favor of White men? Have
they a racial pride superior
to ours?
With all Christian charity,
if you will, does it promote
either our idea of government;
or does it promote the rule
of Jehovah?
Who made all the races and
peoples of the earth?
D<. we approach the truth by
subverting the tradition which
dates from the White tribes
of a thousand years?
As I see it, we are tramp
ling on the social order and
government in furtherance of
an ignorant assumption of
superior race development.
Our population has a leader
ship which springs from its
political ideals of thousands of
\ears. Is it worth nothing?
Within our own country of
today we not only set aside
the sovereignty of the States
1 ut we break down all prin
cipals of economic develop
merit. Today the National De
mocracy is ill quest of political
support, has rejoiced ai a pro
gram which sets at naught the
formation of the Nation and
its recognized economic order.
This wholesale assumption
of political virtue i.- resulting
in a confusion that reigns
thruout our country. It isn’t
only in tin' South, it is a Nat
ional disaster which is upon us.
Your Social
Security
Social security wage reports
on domestic workers are being
tiled in greater numbers these
days, according to J. ('. Bag-
well .District Manager of the
(ireenwood Social Security of
fice.
Persons who have a domes
tic employee must file quarter
ly reports if total cash wages
amount to as much as $50 in
a calendar quarter. This is true
if only one person is employed.
The employer is required to
withhold 4.4 percent of the
wages paid, match this with an
equal amount, and send con
tributions to Internal Revenue
Service during the month fol
lowing the end of each calendar
quarter.
Mr. Bagwell stated that it is
not uncommon for a person
who has done domestic work to
apply for retirement benefits
only to find that his record
does not show the earnings he
actually has. Quite often when
this happens, the employer is
contacted and the reason given
for not reporting is that the
employee did not want the soc
ial security contribution tax
withheld. When this point is
reached, the employer is left
with the full responsibility of
payment.
Anyone needing information
about this feature of Social
Security reporting is urged to
contact the Social Security Of
fice at 219 Magnolia Avenue in
Greenwood. Phone is OR 3-

So J. II. Witherspoon, Adju

The principal advantage to
the veteran of heeding advice
to apply now is that he can

school has started there may

“WHATSOEVER
THINGS”
By DONALD E. WILDMON
There was a lady once wTio
received news that she was go
ing to have an honored guest
for dinner the next day. She
was very excited for the guest
was a very important person.
The next morning she got up
early and began preparing the
meal.
About the middle of the
morning she heard a knock on
the door at the rear of the
house. “That just couldn’t be
him,” she thought. “Surely he
wouldn’t be here this early in
the day.” She went to the back
door hoping that this would
not be her visitor. When she
opened the door she found a
beggar there. “What do you
want?” she asked in a grou
chy tone. “I am very hungry,
madam,” the beggar said. “I
will gladly work for a little
food if you wall let me.” She
stared at the beggar for a
moment with hate burning in
her eyes. “Go away from here
before I call the law!” she
shouted as she slammed the
door in his face.
Then she went back to pre
paring her meal for her vis
itor. She was upset that she
had been interrupted by the
common beggar. Soon her mind
was back on the meal and the
honored guest. She was work
ing hard when suddenly a
knock came at the front door.
to enter school or training for
the first time under the GI
Bill should get in touch with
his nearest Veterans Adminis
tration office, the school of
his choice, or his County Ser
vice Officer.
A veteran who requires ano
ther certificate because of a
change in program or school
should send his request or
contact the VA regional office
which maintains his records on
file.
A veteran who is not chang
ing programs or school need
not obtain another certificate.
“That’s probably him,” she
thought as she went to the
door. When she opened the
front door she was surprised
to find it wasn’t her guest but
a boy from the poor family
down the road. “Mama wanted
to know if she could borrow
some flour,” he said. “Phe
said she would p&y if back
just as soon as possible. We
don’t have very much to eat.”
She snapped at the young lad.
“Go home and tell your moth
er not to bother me anymore.”
Again she gave the door a
good slam.
“You can’t get anything
done around here for the bums
she thought as she went back
to her work. Soon the knock
was heard at the front door
again. She had the meal ready
now. She tidied herself up and
put on a big smile and went
to the door. She was surprised
when she opened it. It wasn’t
the expected guest but a little
Indian girl. “Miss,” the little
girl said, “would you like to
buy some real nice gifts?
They are very reasonable. And
this is our only way to make
a living since daddy died.”
The lady needed gifts, but she
had never bought bought any
thing from an Indian because
she considered them dirty. She
was short with the girl. “I
don’t buy from Indians. I buy
from clean merchants.” Then
the door slammed shut.
Since the meal was ready
the lady sat down to wait for
her guest. She waited and
xvaited. He was way past due
now r . As the day came to a
close it was evident that he
wasn’t coming. “I wonder why
he didn’t come,” she asked
herself. The answer came back
in a loud voice. “I came three
times and you would not let
me in.”
The visitor was the Galilean
Carpenter. > ' will let you de
