Goodman To Hove Some
Grid Cord for This Yeur
BY William Cathey

When the pigskin campaign for
1941 gets under way at Holmes Jr.
College next fall, the men of Coach
j. r. Monk" Campbell will in
augurate practically the same sche-
dule as the one unreeled during the
previous session of activity.
There is a possibility that one or
two freshman squads will be contact
ed in an effort to arrange some
non-conference competition. Since
the Ole Miss Baby Rebels downed
the Goodman eleven after a very
stiff struggle, to 0, in 1910, and
the Mississippi State frosh scored a
10 TO 0 decision, Coach Campbells
proteges would like vengeance very
much.
Among the teams labeled to play
on Branch Athletic Field are the
Wesson Wolves. who howled them
selves to 6to 0 verdict last sea-
son; the Poplarville Wildcats, who
Inundated the Holmes lads q to 2;
the Ellisville Bobcats, who dead

bly, the Senatobia Rangers, who drop

Deportation Law UnenforceobIe

A surprising situation has developed in
this country in that we have deportation or
ders against 1901 undesirable aliens and out
of this number there are 6,249 that canuot
be enforced. There are 3,947 cases of a.
liens not acceptable to their native coun-
iris and in 1902 others transportation is
impossible or unavailable.
Attorney General Robert Jackson has
said that 1--WE are holding them in deporta-
ton proceedings, although we know full
well that because of world conditions we
will not be able to deport them"
What to do about these persons and
many others who will be picked up by the
FIJI will be the work of an administrative
board, if the bill introduced in the House by
Representative Hobbs, (Alabama), goes
through. This bill would have all cases re-
viewed by the board to decide whether
persons legally but not physically deportable
should be ''interned" or paroled. The decis-
ion in every case, of course, would hinge on
the individual aliens case of fitness to be at
large in our society In the event of his
parole until he could be deported there
would be given to him a list of the activities
he would have to avoid in order to avoid
being interned.
This measure has been reported to the
house by the Judiciary Committee several
npnths ago yet no action has yet been taken
on it.
1t is strange that the House should 50
long delay a simple protective law that
will give legal authority to deal quickly and
justly with the large number of persons be-
ing investigated by the F'BI daily.

Revolution Against Bureaus

Mary Cain, editor of the Summit Sur,
says we need revolution in America.
We agree with her.
She says:
Because. today, America stands in need OF
another Patrick Henry man dedicated to the
principles of true democracy, states rights and op
position to excessive taxation.
Patrick Henry caused a Revolution Yes, he did
and our forefathers thought the things he believed
in worth sighting and dying for Are we so spineess
a generation that sit idly by and let bureau
cratic government heap upon US taxation that goes
beyond human imagination, all because OF bureau
cratic principles that now being enforced IN TINS
fair land of ours? Is there in all Of America no one
man who rise to the challenge and protest Tor all
the world to hear, that bureaucracy must end tha'
the American way the Democratic way must
survive? Is there man with courage to stand De-
fore all the world and say to leaders, I'VE have
had enough of your foolishness. Now let's get back
to sound, basic principles OF good government we
don't mind spending a dime that means proteeuon
for our country But we do mind the alphabetical
agencies you have set up the partisan LABOR
Relations Act the Wage-Hour bill and all the things
that deny to Americans the right TO earn a hvihs :"
the true American way
There is bureau for everything IN
Washington, it seems Our present form OF
bureaucratic government is direct outcome
of the first World War. vast number OF
these bureaus were set up at tnat tlme 70
deal with an emergency.
The emergency has existed ever since.
Once bureau is established in Wash
ington it is never abolished just as tax
law is never repealed.
We truly need revolution to abolish
hundreds upon hundreds of useless bureaus
saddled upon the American taxpayer under
the guise of government Not only are they
unfit for service but many of them definitely
lean toward socialism, or state control OF the
individual.
If governing is to be done by bureaus we
decidedly need lot less government. We
certainly want less government control OF
our individual rights and liberties. We have
much too much government control saddled
on US now.

Headed For Socialism?

Evidently a large number of persons in
this country are alarmed over the spreading
bureaucracy and Capitalization of authority
in Washington, judging from the number OF
intelligent letters coming from readers all
over the country and appearing on the edi-
torial pages of every paper in the United
States.
One reader of the New York Tribune
as an aftermathb Of this war, and regrets
exceedingly that there seems to be no or
ganized agency to combat our approach to
state socialism. He writes:
when President Roosevelt and his pink
PROFESSIONAL advisorate set out to buy every
class Of citizen and enterprise into depend
ence on Washington, they had the fervid
support Of every aggregation of crackpot
'liDera1s' in the country. The traditional
antipathy Of the American people to Gen.
tralization was voiced by none but those who
could be conveniently damned as Tories or
princes of privilege. So here we are facing
q war against the avowed enemies of demo-
cracy, which certainly justifies the multiple
cation Of the central authority's powers, but
with no organized back pull whatever against
the trend toward state socialism and no pro-
mise that when it is all over there will be any
public demand for the local self-determina-
ton and self-sufficiency and the checks on
top-heavy general government that are es-
sential to democracy's survival. know that
I'm croaking out of harmony with the senti-
ment of the hour, but doesn't democracy
matter?"
1t should be evident to every man, wo-
man and even child that unless every small
community in the nation and every city once
again reverts to self-government and self
dependence we are doomed as democracy.
We cannot be independent and govern our
selves if we are going to have to depend, for
our living, upon Washington. When Wash
ington puts out money there is always strings
attached to it - measure of control.
And we are headed just as straight for
socialism in this country as we can possibly
be.
The only thing that can stop us is an
awakening Of our people where we are
headed and doing something about it before
it is too late.

NV daddys name was written
Upon no page of fame.
He was no naughty hero
For ages to acclaim.
He was of modest merit
When matched with such these.
From him could inherit
No prncely pedigrees.
But he was brave and honest
And knightly to the core,
The cream of all the commons,
And who could ask for more?
His love of God loyal.
He served his state with zeal.
His home he called his castle,
His court of last appeal.
His wife, his sons, his daughters,
His neighbors, great and small
Rose up to do him honor
And loved him and all.
His bit of earth was better
Because he passed that way.
Thank God for such father
On this our DADDY'S DAY.
