Todaij' Behind The L.A. Rioting
By TROY MORRIS
Hw weather—may be wet-
may be dry.
President Johnson, through
his handling of the Negro sit-
uation, has now lost control—
the uprising—or Insurrection—
of Negroes without cause will
probably open his eyes to a
fact that the Negro cannot be
controlled when he Is turned
loose, with a white leader—and
especially a leader such as
President Johnson. He has given
them every thing they ask for
-hut they want more.
So, time moves along- so do
events—and one never knows
what is in the offing. Some-
times the future can be pre-
dicted by scanning the past-
but there are times when that
doesn*t work—the ways of God
are known only to God and
what he has laid out for the
future is a blank scroll to
man.
We note with some interest
that one scientist has admitted
' the flying objects we see in the
sky and which cannot be identi-
fied could be visitors from
another inhabited world is not
impossible—the universe is fill-
ed with other planets. And there
Is a possibility one of those
planets is inhabited by beings
very similar to earth people
-only a great deal farther ad-
vanced.
You know the “Whatnick”
seen near Levelland and Ropes-
vllle several years ago has
never been explained-it was
seen in broad daylight near
Ropes, and the witnesses said
there was a man on the ground
scooping dirt into a container.
We don’t know what it was,
but we do know too many
people saw it for it not to
have been something out of the
ordinary.
So, we shuffle along.
A farmer In town was watch-
ing a sidewalk astronomer ad-
just his telescope on its tripod.
Just as he swung the instru-
ment around, a star fell.
"By crackyl” ejaculated the
farmer admiringly. "That
feller shore is a slick shot.”
If you can keep from being
envious and jealous of your
fellowmnn you are approaching
the outskirts of civilisation.
Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the c&nnies
-hold you here, root and all,
in my hand, little flower—but
if I could understand what you
are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man
-Tennyson.
W 9 think the largest humbug
an the face of the earth is the
United Nations—it has about as
much power to control wars as
a rabbit has to stop an ava-
lanche. It Js there for show,
and the taxpayers money from
the United States is paying for
most of its activities. We’ve
poured millions into it, while
France and Russia, and the
Communist block, refused to
pay and laughed at our fool-
ishness. The sooner we pull
out of it the better off we will
be.
So, we move toward the close
of these few lines.
The trouble with vacations is
that most of them end too soon.
Another thing is money—it has
a habit of disappearing until
there la hardly enough left to
bring you home—and when you
do arrive home you are more
tired than when you left.
So we stagger off the page.

An Opinion.....
Below is an article which everyone should read-it hits the
nail on the head and tells the truth about the Negro riots in
the United States-Editor.
BEHIND THE L.A. RIOT
By THRUM AN SENSING
Com'ng only days after the federal Voting Rights bill was
enacted Into law, rioting by a Negro mob in Los Angeles,
California, was fearsome proof of the danger of encourag-
ing any single element of the nation’s population in the belief
that it is above the law.
Looted stores, smashed shop windows, burned automobiles
and injured police and firemen represent a grim harvest for
those who have encouraged somo Americans to engage in civil
disobedience in tee belief that they are exempt from the
retirements of law. The country should feel thankful that
more such mob violence has not already been felt in this land.
However, the likelihood is that such terrible scenes will be
repeated unless the President of the United States and others
in high federal authority do not cease their encouragement of
anarchist elemr its.
The same day that the Negro mob went on a rampage in
Los Angeles, demonstrators against the struggle in Viet Nam
’ay down on railroad tracks in another part of California
and attempted to block passage of a troop train. These two
actions - the mob scene in Los Angeles and the impeding of
a troop train - are directly related.
If good Americans want to know who to blame for civil
disobedience, they should know where to look. President John-
son is on record as saying that people have a right to march
and to demonstrate. Time and again cotta aities in Southern
states have been afflicted by hordes of beatnik mrxchers.
In Amoricus, Ga„ for example, one of the march leaders
threatened to “tear down the town” in the demands of the
marchers were not met. When Southern communities such as
Bogalusa, La., attempt to curb demonstrations that threaten
violence and community strife, they are blocked by the federal
courts and by other federal agencies. It is clear that the powers-
that-be in Washington intend to protect agitators who camp in
Southern courthouses and other public buildings and resist
lawful demands that they leave. Other demonstrators are
allowed to camp at the entrance of the White House, and are
gently treated.
Of course, when the Washington demonstrators get too
close for comfort, as during the recent march on the Capitol
Building, they are rounded up and put in police vans. This is
the double standard in action; it is all right if demonstrators
invade a state courthouse down South, but they are no! per-
mitted to invade the Capitol. How such a hypocritical difference
in procedure can be rationalized it is truly impossible to
understand.
Clergymen have often lent their encouragement and pre-
sence to street demonstrations. Religious organizations, such
as tee National Council of Churches, have financed the train-
ing of participants. Time and again civil rights leaders have
said that when people consider a law 'unjust, they don’t need to
obey it. How much more encouragement do the lawbreakers
need?
One of tee worst things Mr. Johnson !s doing is spreading
the notion that som; eleme nts in the nation are to be petted
o.i every occasion and to consider themselves exempt from
punishment. To create a privileged class of agitators and
demonstrators is to invite tee gravest kind of trouble, a sample
of which was given in Los Angeles. Nor did Mr. Johnson
help promote decent conditions in America when he addressed
a crowd of co’lege students on the White House lawn in recent
weeks, calling them "fellow revolutionaries,”
It is fashionable in liberal circles to heap prais9 on the
word "revolution” and u> urge young people to be revolution-
ary in their thinking and in their actions. But the real mean-
ing of revolution was spelled out in the actions of the riators
in Los Angeles August 11. To be revolutionary is to throw
rocks at policemen, to toss Molotov cocktails at passing auto-
mobiles, to break into stores and steal things, to set fires
and threaten tee lives of people. That’s revolutionary action.
Hie Johnson administration is too busy trying to get illiter-
ates registered - those who couldn’t read tee law if they want-
ed to do so. It is trying to create a captive voting bloc amoig
those with no idea of what is good government. It hopes to
become the political master of a new proletariat. But the like-
lihood is that it will oily turn loose this d ingerous proletariat
on respectable communities. That is what happened in Los
Angeles.
