HELENA, Mont. Oct. 9.-Republicans
in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Montana
three States which this writer has
visited in q swing through the country
feel that they have the Democrats on
the defensive and on the run. They
express great confidence Of victory in
the coming congressional elections, and
In the national election in 1948. Il the
swing to the Republicans-which they
claim is on-really materializes, they
may actually pick up five House seats
in these States, two in Wisconsin, two
In Minnesota and one in Montana. This
would mean solid Republican House
delegations from all three States. It is
difacult, however, to believe that Repub-
lican victories will be so extensive. In
some of these districts, they have no
better than fighting chance.
That there is much discomfort among
the voters over shortages Of meat and
many other commodities there can be
no doubt. Also, the Republicans have
brought into the campaign in big way
the charge that Democratic victory in
some way viii give boost to Communist
influence in this country and abroad.
They are ringing the charges on the
effort Of the Democrats to hold the left
wingers and reds in line through former
Secretary Of Commerce Wallace, Sena-
tor Pepper of Florida and other Demo-
cratic speakers. There is, too, much dis
content with the Truman administration

tana, seeing the ranges covered with
fat cattle and sheep, are up in arms
because they cannot buy the meat they
wish in the markets. When they ask
for soap and other articles and are
told there are none for sale, they want
to know why-with the war over for
more than a year.
On the other side of the picture, the
people in these States are prosperous.
The farmers and the cattlemen are
making plenty of money. There Is large
employment at higher wages. The DEM
ocrats maintain that under such condi-
tions the voters are not going to change
horses.
To this the Republicans reply that
bigger earnings and more real property
in hand is making the people more con-
servatiye and less inclined to continue

RELIGION AS Basis of Education
To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial In the issue of October
Z, Peace and Man." particularly in its
references to Justice Jacksons warnings
Of danger from educated men" should
cause thinking among educated people.
For years, the church inspired and
advanced the movement for higher ed
ucation, hence our Oldest institutions
were, for the most part, the outgrowth
of church influence and funds. But
church schools became largely denona-
national In their teaching, influence
and atmosphere. In many instances
they became sources of separation and
alienation from others not Of their group
of thinking. Many thought that even q
university must teach decided trend
toward some particular creed or form
of religion.
This obvious drift of education into
making our young people "religionists"
instead Of teaching them religion drove
many of our educational institutions to
the opposite extreme. Fruitage OF this
extreme now Is being seen.
But the fact abides and the sooner
we see it, the better: No man truly is
educated who does not know the basis
on which the religion Of the majority
Of our people rests. The Bible, as to its
fundamental principles, must be known
along with other literature, other psych-
ology, other history. other works on
moral philosophy.

Complains About Saving"
TO the Editor of The Star:
Gov. O'Conor of Maryland in a
statement published in The Star told
Of his great accomplishment, saving the
taxpayers $20,000,00o In his term OF
ofice. But that was no great feat.
everyone had to pay his taxes, and
there was no money spent on new
roads.
Other States piled up millions OF
surplus during the war when no roads
were built. Gov. Dewey In New York
has $500. 900 900 surplus.
Gov. O'Conor can take credit for
keeping an army Of his political group
on the payrolls all through the war. A
group Of road engineers spent weeks
surveying Sheriff road, about three miles
long, which has been on the map for
more than 100 years.

Dear Miss Brannon,
In the Tupelo Daily Journal
/ read of your recent experience In
court. I don't know whether you
deserved the fine and reprimand
from the judge or not. I didn't Like
what the paper quoted the judge as
saying to you in regard to cleaning
up the county.
The purpose of this note Is
to express my deep appreciation OF
your fight against liquor and gam
bling. The same fight needs to be
made in every county in the state,
so far as I know, but so many news
paper editors don't have the courage
to make the fight.
I have been recently elected
president of the Mississippi w. c. T.

enforcement in every county.

Miss Hazel Brannon,
Editor of The Lexington Advertiser,
Lexington, Mississippi.
Dear Miss Brannon:-
/ have just read an account
of The Contempt Proceedings in The
Circuit Court of Judge S. +. Davis,
against you for talking TO a witness.
1t seems from reading the article
that the court had issued an order
instructing the witness to talk with
no one, and presumably for n % one
to talk with the witness.
Your statement in the papers
clearly show that you had no know
ledge of the instructions or order of
the Court, therefore could not be
guilty of intentionally violating the
order of the court.
feel that the Court commit
ed grave error in refusing to accept
your full and complete apology, and
in refusing to accept your statement
of the facts.
You have probably been a
little hard on the laxity Of law en-
forcement in your county; but may
be justified, However, the Court was
wrong in striking back at you in a
Contempt Proceedings for some
thing else, or else the account of the
Contempt Proceedings are wrong, as
published in The Times icayune on
October 20.
If the account of the contempt
proceeding as published, are
true, then I trust that the court will
right this wrong done you, and set
aside the Contempt Order of the
Court.
Yours very truly,

Dear Hazel,
When a judge of the bench
says, Law and order cannot be en-
forced in this county," something is
radically wrong.
If such an attitude prevails,
we are in a state of social and moral
degeneracy, and we al only look
forward to seeing the existing order
features of it we would pre-
serve-overthrown. AS long as there
are people like you, l don't believe
it will prevail.
I think a statement like the
judges would justify the proper
authority in calling out the militia
to restore law and order. Since the
proper authority has not seen fit to
do that, there is just a possibility
that the judge is wrong.
Keep up the good fight. Many
here, people who never heard
of you before, admire you and are
forward to a reversal when
your case goes to the Supreme
Ever sincerely,

Dear Miss Brannon:
You have my sincere congrat-
ulations on your courageous journ-
alestic approach which resulted in
the contempt citation against you
by a Judge who must be very stupid
and bigoted. l have travelled through
the south, have viewed Jim Crow
ism with utter horror, and yet real
lied, with Jonathon Daniels and
others, that intelligent southerners
must take up the fight for civil
rights on behalf of negros, before
northerners can do much good.
hope you continue the fight.
