THE MAN WITH A COUNTRY

The -rmies came home and
most If us went back into the old
lanes. True, something big,
something fine had come into our
experience that would ever after
ward give life new and deeper
meaning. But the war has failed
into memories, to be talked about
and thought about only when good
buddies get together.
This was not SO with John War
sinski. John came home to Mil
waullee wounded, and for four
long years nobody knows how
long they must have seemed-he
sat crippled, a prisoner in wheel
chair. John has been freed from
ills chair now, the funeral IS over,
but He will be missed in his neigh
bolhood. For, we read, every NOR
ming the flag went to the top of
the nole. The arm Of John War
sinski snapped to a salute. Every
night at shutdown, the colors
crept slowly down the staff, and
John gathered them in SO careful
" that not even corner touched
tho EARTH
There was a man who knew
what our country means, who low
ed his nation despite all its short
comings and the inequities and
indifference of humankind. There
was no bitterness in his soul
though his country had taken him
and hurt him. One from the newer
corners to this land-not John
Smith or John Brown, who are
the older generations with the
pride Of a long line Of American
behind them, but John Warsinski
once an American wrote a
story about The Man Without q
Country, that is q classic in pat
riotic literature. There is a
chance for another with a magic
pen to write the sorry Of The Man
With a Country John Warsinski

READING NEWSPAPERS :.

Newspaper reading should be
taught in every high school and
college, declared Grant M. Hyde,
of the University of Wisconsin, at
the convention of the American
Association of Teachers of Jour-
nalism held in Chicago.
Mr.. Hyde said: eff we are to
have better newspapers, better
community, a better government,
we must train generation of
young people to demand better
newspapers and to read them in
telligently.
Such training is job for high
school and college teachers. The
relation of the newspaper to the
community is such that no citizen
can avoid being a newspaper read
er. And it is great deal better
for him to read it intelligently
than to daily through it as a form
of amusement.
at is plain that the. person who
reads only the headlines, the sport
page, the serial fiction, the COM
les, is not making intelligent use
lof the newspaper nor encouraging
publication of worth while news
papers.
without the newspaper eur
social system would be inartieu-
late, our democratic government
impossible, modern business could
not exist. But its Influence Is
only partly effective, because the
American public, while buying

WHY THE SOUTH LACKS MEN
OF NATIONAL FAME

I VIII IL Ill OOO III LE1SINO lfILlN
OF NATIONAL FAME
/ One reason for the lack of ma
tional leaders from the South is
advanced by Gerald w. Johnson,
former editorial writer of the
Greenvi1le IN. CO News, and now
instructor in journalism at the
University of North Carolina.
He ssys in Scribner's Magazine:
1.-THE Constitution of the United
/ States, the Congress, the courts
and the Federal army all decreed
! that Southern white men should
not rule in their own country. So
! Southern white men consigned to
1 hell the Constitution of the United
States, the Congress, the courts
and the Federal army, and ruled
/ anyhow. But to do it they had
to terrorize negro voters, stuff
/ ballot boxes, horsewhip judges, and
in general violate the principle of
1 submission to the constituted au-
thorities which is the foundation
of orderly and enduring govern
ment by the people.
"None the less, by this process
| the South lost more than the war
! had cost her. Destruction Of the
/ citizens belief in his government
was destruction of the moral val
J ues accumulated through seven
centuries of training in self gov
eminent. Nobody knows this bet
! ter than thoughtful Southerners;
/ but at the time when the damage
was done nobody in the South
looked far beyond the immediate
necessities of the moment, for it
was then apparent that the end
of all things was at hand. After q
few years the leadership of the
South did wake up to a realization
of the abyss to which the rule
of violence was leading. The mo-
ment of it's awakening is easily
fixed in history-it is marked by
the sudden subsistence of the wild
er manifestations of revolt and
the dissolution of the original Ku
Khlx.
i but, work of the sort that went
on IN the South in the late sixties
and the early seventies is never
easily undone. Re- establishment
Of the prestige of the repudiated
institutions has been tremendously
difficult. It has been so difficult
that the effort has absorbed the
energies Of the ablest men in the
South to the exclusion of we'll
nigh everything else. The leader
ship that it might have supplied
to the nation has been fully occu-
pied in recapturing the leadership
of the South itself, trying to
sweep back the tide of demagogy,
ignorance, stupidity, and prejudice
that the dynamiting of civilized
government loosed upon the luck
less country"
