THE GAME OF POLITICS:
Democrats Farm Strategy Bockfires
By FRANK r. KENT

1t is now clear that the
Democratic strategists at last
have found an issue upon
which they can unite against
President Eisenhower in the
campaign this fall. 1t is also
clear that, now they have
found their issue (towit. the
one created by his veto of the
so-called farm relief bilD, the
most astute among them, in
Guiding several presidential as
pirants. are not too happy
about it.
Outsmart Themselves
The simple fact is that they
seem to have outSmarted
themselves. This frequently
happens in politics as IN other
avenues of human endeavor,
and is almost invariably due
to Understanding the basic
superiority of right over
wrong. In this case the DEM
ocratic conspiracy-for that it
is admitted to be-against Mr..
Eisenhower began soon after
he decided to run for a second
term. That decision was as
uplifting to the Republicans as
it was diScouraging to the
Democrats. Unable to make a
successful attack on Mr.. Essen
hover personally, their efforts
to find a campaign goat III
either Vice President Nixon,
now sure of denomination. or
any member of the Eisen-
hover cabinet, were redoubled.
However. despite the raucous
voices of Chairman Paul Butler
of the Democratic National
Committee and his persistent
little predecessor, Stephen
Mitchell. these efforts came to
nought and in recent months
all the Democratic leaders and
all the Democratic publicity
talent seemed concentrated
upon exploitation of the dis
content among the farmers.
On the surface this seemed
a shrewd move, indeed. The
troubles of the farmers were
real and not imaginary. The
administration. indorSing the
soil-bank theory, which was
widely supported by many farm
leaders, had offered a pro-
gram. With a majority in
both House and Senate the
Democrats proceeded to load
the Eisenhower Benson bill
with amendments so fantastic
as to make it utterly unwork-
able. Then. loudly shouting
for 80 per cent parity. they
proceeded to pass the bill, thus
putting it up to the President.
BaSing this strategy upon the
fact that no President had ever
dared veto a farm relief bill
in an election year. they
chortled over the spot onto
which they had Unanswered
the President. Either he had
to accept a thoroughly bad and
unavoidable bill or he had to
bear the blame for having stood
in the way of relief for the

in order to know the JOY and
thrill of it yourself is the re-

surrendering your life to God
as definitely as if you had
never done it before. l am
growing more and more con-
vinced that a great part of the
secret of achieving steadfast-
ness and serenity in face of
the battle of life is this-not
only to commit your way to
God in some high decisive
moments of conversion, but to
do that very thing every
morning-go down upon your
knees and say, Dear God, l
do not ask to see the distant
scene, but here for the next
"a hours of my life l give 1t
back to Thee. to guard and
bless and control" Then the
creed, Il believe that at sun
rise every soul can be born
again." will become a personal
experience. Thus the morning
becomes heavens signal, not
with weary signs to tie on old
weights. but with jubilant
heart to find, ready to unfold,

words:

prosperity. some men succeed

unfortunately also inevitable
that when this is the case some

these appeals are made TO

than detract from his strength.
Whatever the final outcome of
the struggle in Congress, it APP

leaders have put themselves
on the defensive instead Of the
President.
Fail to Trap President
What they really did was to
give him a beautiful oppor-
tunity again to demonstrate
not only his courage and sim
cerity but a very real knowl-
edge of his subject, which was
inherent both in his message
and in his broadcast. In addi-

The greatest glory of any
day is the morning. One who
has gazed entranced at the
crimsoned splendor of the
dwipdling light as the sun
sinks into the sea or as its
tinted evening shawl is thrown
across the shoulders of shad-
owed hills, might dispute
that assertion. But when the
morning and the evening &C
counts are summed up, who
can doubt that the Ayes" have
it for the dawning. 1t is in
that mystic hour when morn
ing gilds the sky that the cur
tain is coming up. When the
golden orb slips beneath the
far horizon the flaming pag-
cant it presents conceals the
dismal fact that the curtain
is coming down. Then the
night, in spite of stars. is often
peopled with the ghosts of
hopes deferred. of Wearying
worries which the darkness
magnifies. But at last comes
morning and as ShakeSpeare's
vivid phrase puts it, slumber
has silently knit up the
ravel'd sleeve of care"
Then, finding ourselves in
the blessed land of beginning
again, we take heart with the
day. For, as Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe puts it in the
deathless phrases of her salute
to the dawn, When purple
morning breaketh. when the
bird waketh and the shadows
glee-dawns the sweet con-
seriousness I am with thee"
What tragedy that most of
the time we miss the hour
when nature displays her most
ravishing treasures-morning
with its new heaven and new
earth-morning dew-pearled,
rosy-tinted, fleeing shadows,
dawning light, songbird an
swering song from topmost
bough in the solemn hush of
cleaning glories newly born.
1t was Benjamin Franklin,
coiner of the early to rise"
