CAN IKE TAKE II?

1t is rather pity at this season
of good will to have to report that
among Democratic politicians, OPP
Grating in and out Of the nations
Capital, there is developing what
appears to be the biggest name
calling campaign we have had
since the organized smear of for
mer President Herbert Hoover
which was directed by the late
Charlie Nicholson back in 1929. 1t
was then that the word smear got
into our political language. 1t was
first applied to the Nicholson at
tack.
This time, of course, the target is
President Eisenhower and the plan
is not only admitted but advertised.
That is why there should be no de-
lay in making clear its true nature.
For several weeks now Democratic
spokesman of one sort and another
have been openly proclaiming that
the time has come to take off the
gloves" so far as Mr.. Eisenhower
is concerned. Up to recently, eN-
cept for one or two rather ire
sponsible critics, such as Senator
Wayne Morse, the self styled indie
pendent of Oregon, the Eisenhower
opponents have avoided anything
like personal attack. What has
deferred them is his apparently I'M
shakeable popularity throughout
the country. After much confer
ring and exchanging of views
Democratic party leaders have al
most unanimously concluded that
their only chance to win in 1856 is
to destroy that popularity.
The corollary to that conclusion
is that the only way this can be
done is by going after General
Ike and Showing him up If the
various Democratic authorities can
be believed this is to be their party
strategy beginning with the con-
vening of the new Congress, now
dominated by the Democrats, right
after the new year begins. The
new Democratic national chairman
Mr.. Paul Butler, has already pro-
claimed this party policy and some

Egg Supplies High,
Prices Low in Jan.

Egg production in January, 1855,
will be at a record high for the
month, according to University Of
Maryland marketing specialists.
This is good news for house
wives. 1t means the popular and
versatile food will be available at
bargain prices.
These unusually attractive egg
bargains are no surprise to people
who were familiar with trends in
the poultry industry during 1854.
For example, DR.. Harold Smith,
poultry marketing specialist in the
University of Maryland department
of agricultural economies, says it
has been apparent for several
months that 1855 would start this
way.
"In 1854" he explains, average
egg prices failed to follow the
seasonal pattern of increasing
from spring to fall. Instead, prices
to farmers gradually slumped
downward These prices, of course,
reflected record breaking numbers
of layers on the Nations farms and
high production per bird"
"And now, egg supplies are in
creasing seasonally. This trend be
gan in September and will continue
until March or April. In general
egg supplies are expected to re-
main Highland prices low-for
several months"
Although high production gives
consumers break, pricewise, it
creates marketing difficulties for
the poultry industry. As a solution
to this difficulty, the industry has
developed an aggressive effort to
move more eggs into use as food.
The effort is promotion cam

Christmas-The Light of the World
BY Dewitt Emery

Nineteen hundred and fifty-four
years ago, Christ brought to a dis
pirited world the doctrine of HUI
man Dignity. And with this doc
trine came the promise of Peace
on Earth. His lesson is still to be
learned.
How can there be peace when
after thousands of years of eN-
pericncc, human beings still have
not learned that an individual can
not make war by hmself-that
wars are made ONLY by men who
have great political power over the
people?
How can there be peace when
mankind still has not learned that
in the doctrine of human dignity
man is born frce-FREE FROM
THE UNLIMITED POWER OF
GOVERNMENT?
Our American Republic was
founded on Christian doctrine-on
the principle that every individual
receives certain rights from God.
And that their individual rights
LIMIT the power of government.
1t was founded on the principle
that every individual also receives
from God the right to the free use
of his talents in order to earn his
food, clothing and shelter. And
with the free use of his talents
must also go the right to his earn
ings-his property. For what is
the free use of our talents but an
extension of our God-given indi-
viduality-and what are our earn
ings but an extension Of our God
given talents?
Life, Liberty, Propcrty-these
three gifts from God preceded all
man-made laws and are therefore
SUPERIOR to all man-made gov

of our Declaration of Independence.
But today, not single nation on
the face of the earth believes as
we once did; that human beings
get these specific rights from God
NOT from government!
How can America help bring
peace to the world when we have
allowed our own government Of
ficials to become immoral-when
both Republicans and Democrats
have passed laws which limit, in
terfere with, and destroy our in
dividual rights, our gifts from God
when these laws have curtailed
our individual freedom and our
right to enjoy the fruits of our
labor-and conversely to suffer the
evil results of our errors?
How can there be peace as long
as government officials-through-
out the world-have the power to
interfere with the life and liberty
of human beings by conscription-
so that those government officials

was grinning at them both

turned away.
The rest of the evening was like
a dream. Dancing with Bill with
other friends, even the horn blow
ing and whistle footing at midnight
seemed only a vague background
for the presence of Warren in that
room. When he came up to her
much later and said, Lets talk
awhile, she followed him, as if
hypnotized, to some chairs half
hidden by large potted palm.

THE AMERICAN WAY

can make war? How can there be
peace as long as government Of
ficials have the power to take away
the earnings, the property of
people, in order to pay the costs
of making war?
How can representatives of a
group of nations bring peace as
long as all their respective gov
ernments constantly have the
power to destroy the God-givcn
life and liberty of their people
the Human Dignity Of individuals ?
How can there be PEACE-as
long as the coercive force of gov
eminent is used to destroy the
rights it is supposed to protect
to destroy the Justice that it is
supposed to maintain?
How can there be Peace on
Earth until there are more men of
good will-until, even with good
will, those men understand that the
moral purpose of government is to
PROTECT the God-given indi-
vidual rights of every person in
that nation?
Only when the people Of ALL
nations discover and use the true
moral purpose of government: TO
PROTECT EQUALLY EVERY IN
DIVIDUAL'S RIGHT TO LIFE,
LIBERTY AND TO EARN, HOLD
AND DISPOSE OF HIS PROP
ERTY TO PROTECT THESE
GOD GIVEN RIGHTS FROM
THE INTERFERENCE OF ANY
OTHER PERSON, AND FROM
GOVERNMENT ITSELF
Only then will Christ's doctrine of
Human Dignity be realized only
then can the real spirit of Christ
mas be cultivated in the hearts of
men-only then will we have Peace
on Earth.
This takes more than a Christ
mas wish. 1t will take years to
achieve. But a start can be made
now by every American with good
will in his heart. Let's begin now
to take a vital part in seeing that
our own government becomes a
moral onc-that our laws do not
permit government officials to do
things which an ordinary citizen
cannot DO without committing a
crime.
