CLEVELAND'S PHILOSOPHY
Threescore and seven years ugo In 1887 when there was a severe
drouth In Texas, President Grover Cleveland vetoed a bill appropri-
ating $10,000 lor relief In the forirf ol' seed grain to be distributed
to farmers in the stricken area. The explanation which he gave to
Congress for his action included these statements:
"I do not believe that the power and duty of the general govern-
ment ought to be extended to the relief of Individual suffering. . . .
The lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people
support the government, the government should not support the peo-
ple . . , Federal aid In such ca^es encourages the expectation of
paternal care on the part of the government and weakens) the sturdl-
ness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among
our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens
the bonds of a common brotherhood."
These thoughts expressed by a Democratic President are .reproduc-
ed here not to advocate that we return to the philosophy of govern-
ment he expressed. Rather they are intended to point out the great
change that has taken place within three generations on a basic
function of the federal government.—Wichita Times.

PEACE ECONOMY
Richard L. Bowditch, president of the United States Chamber of
Commerce was in Dallas the other day to say a good word for
peacetime economy, It is time somebody said that.
You see we have almost a generation of people who have lived
solely under an emergency-geared wartime economy. Many of us
expect Washington to look out for us, even if we exercise bad judg-
ment. Thousands of us expect the government to buy the wheat we
can't sell, store the butter nobody can sell and make good the rains
that don't fall, the ey.fe'-i that don't hatch, the n.'jrtgage that doesn't
get paid.
The excuse for all these emergency aids out of Washington was
that Washington had declared war, that war had disarranged the
world economy that the thing was too big l'or the individual citizen
to cope with—and so Uncle Sam had to stop In. And that Is why
Uncle Sam is in debt, can't balance his budget and can't got out of
the wheat, butter, egg and mortgage business or make any money at
it, either,
It is good to get back, even a short way, to being responsible for
our own affairs, It is good, even if it does seem to scare some of
us almost into the poorhouse, which we don't have any more. —
Dallas News.
AMERICANS HAVE COURAGE
talk with people as vou meet them and the conversation doesn't
last long until seme one begin to talk of being afraid. Afraid of
what? Isn't it time to stop such talk? There is nothing so l'utile,
nothing so foolish as l'ear.
Just what do we fear? One will say the atomic bomb. Why?
Now we are planning the use of atomic power for peaceful uses.
Even for war—it kills where it falls and for a short distance around.
Who ha« enough bombs or the ability to deliver then/ to destroy even
a very small part of our great country?
Do we tear a depression? Why? There are Just as many people
ready to work, just as many needs to be supplied, just as much money
to carry on with as ever. Depression? Bah! Sheer nonsense!
Do we fear Communists? Why? Their leaders are untruthful,
not to be depended upon. Do they consider the people over whom
they rule? What te there about Communism to build courage or
honor or equality?
Why should we waste time discussing things with them when we
know in advance that they will not act in good faith and will
not keep any agreement they make? Look at the nations which
they control. They rule through fear and threats. Could such a
nation gather a lighting force that would be really loyal and inspired
with patriotism? No nation ruling by force ha*! ever been able to
assemble a great fighting force when there was fear of their leaders.
Do we fear for security old age? Did John Smith fear for se-
curity when he was captured by Indians? Did John Hancock talk
about security when he signed his name to the Declaration of in-
dependence "Large enough so King George can read it without his
specs'" Did George Washington' fear when lie crossed the Dela-
ware' Did the colonists fear to fight for their rights or to explore
the great wilderness to the west? Did our brothers fear to fight In
in World War 1, or our sons in World War II, or Korea?
What is seclirity unless we have courage? Is food and shelter
and clothing security? Then the fellow in jail has complete security.
No security is a home. even the most humble, when filled with
b'ave hearts and an industrious family. Daniel Boone and the other
early settlers had security because they were happy and willing to
depend on their own efforts without interference.
Let's call a halt to this talk ol fear. The blood of pioneers and
fearless immigrants flows in our veins and these fears haVe been
introduced by those who would profit by our fears. We have tradi-
tions and examples of courage even unto death. These should stif-
ien our spines and banish our fears, so we would no more look
tremblingly into the future, but with a brief glance backward to our
courageous forefathers, let us build bravely for our children and our
grandchildren.
Let us quit fearing anything and move forward to greater things!

FRESIDENT RUNS INTO OPPOSITION
There has been some general editorial comment on features of
President Eisenhowers program that have encountered obstacles in
Congress There may have been seme who have deplored the atti-
tudt of Congressmen in blocking some of the administration plans;
but on the whole, we should say that no harm has been done. In
toct the procedure at Washington augurs well for the country The
i at tonal lawnttkers would do well to oppose the President once in a
\hile even if he should be right on everything. It s not a goe>d idea
for one man to tell all the rest of the country what to do. No matter

Up a "Green Hill far away," pilgrims have been journeying for nineteen
hundred years. The way to Golgotha was hard and His cross was heavy
... but there is a cross lor everyone. He cursed not those who tortured Him
but prayed the most gracious prayer history has recorded, "Father For-
give Them, they know not what they do."-His journey to Golgotha trans-
figured the cross forever, turning a symbol of suffering into a symbol of
triumphant life. Terrible is any cross a weary man must carry alone, but
God of Calvary waits to help carry every man's burden. He was- crucified
for us...may we live for Him?
