NWH MYTHS
David Lawrence's July 8
column, Real Issue in Civil
Rights Fight" is the best
article I have read yet on
this controversial subject.
Mr.. Lawrence is right in
every detail.
Authorities are trying to
get the power to use military
strength to force the South
to its knees, and submit to
the Supreme Courts decision
on school indignation. Force
will never solve this problem.
Southerners have this very
much at heart, and certainly
are in a better position to
understand the struggle 60
ing on in the South than
those who are using this
issue to further their polit-
ical ambitions. Senator
Knowland seems to have one
eye on the White House and
the other eye on the ballot
box, and he thinks the Negro
vote will get him there.
1t is unbelievable that the
Senate will vote to take away
the civil right of a citizen to
a jury trial, one of the most
precious safeguards in our
Constitution. If this so-called
civil rights bill should pass,
it will reach its evil through
the length and breadth of
the Nation: however, 1t is
designed to punish the South
for its views. The Supreme
Courts decision on school
indignation was wrong in the
first place. This court is sup
posed to function in a judi
cial capacity, not legislative.
1t is all too evident that
the welfare of the States
most affected by this ruling
is being wrecked by pressure
Of political power, and it is
now up to the people to do
something for their own pro-
lection. I am glad we have
such a man as Senator Rich
ard B. Russell in the Senate.
who is trying to protect the
millions Of Southern people.

-
The men who drafted our
Declaration Of Independence
gave to the American people
the greatest self-governing
nation that the world has
ever known. Their intentions
were that liberty and order
should be inseparable.
They knew that the rights
OF the people. being secured,
would cause liberty to rise,
virtue to grow. wealth to in
crease. knowledge to expand,
and that the self-governing
people Of America would go
on to a bigger and brighter
future.
They held these truths TO
be Self-evident: That all men
are created equal.
Religion and science agree
that all men come from a
common ancestor, and
whether the red came from
the black or the brown from
the white is secondary.
The American people have
come a long way since the
Declaration Of Independence
was declared, but it seems
that We are not really pros
pering or profiting by the
mistakes Of past generations,
We are getting TO the same
point that the Romans ar
rived at when they decided
to burn their laws and start
over again. They burned their
laws and Rome crumbled.
The American people are
sovereign and their sover-
eighty is controlled by the
supreme laws Of the land

I we'll recall some years
back when as a young law
student in a certain uni
versity our professor asked
us why we thought a certain
State supreme court, in a
famous case, had ruled as
they had - reversing the
lower courts. completely dis
regarding the doctrine Of
stare decisiS and holding
contrary to all prior judicial
announcements. When no
student, could answer, this
law professor exclaimed,
We'll, students, it's really
quite simple. The Supreme
Court was Republican-the
defendant was a Democrat.
The decision was strictly a
political one!"
Shortly after this startling
observation was made, our
professor was elevated by a
certain President to the
United States Supreme Court.
He was duly confirmed by
the United States Senate.
I have frequently wondered
how many of the United
States Supreme Court de-
cisionS Of late are motivated
strictly by political. soci-
illogical and private preju-
dices-in derogation of the
express provisions of the
United States Constitution.
/ am of the view that the
present court-with it's lop-
sided 90 liberal" compost
ton may well have sue
cumbed to such chimera in
fathering and disseminating
such opinions as those rem
dered in the recent Girard
case: in Sweezy v. New
Hampshire; Slochower v.
Brooklyn College; Yates v.
United States; John Stewart
Service v. Dulles; ChesSman
v. Teets; Reid v. Covert;
Roviaro v. United States;
United States v. Dupont;
Butler v. Michigan; Girard
v. City Of Philadelphia, ct al
and many others-all of
which cases incidentally
found the U. S. Supreme
Court in every instance
reversing the lower court. Is
it possible that all the lower
court judges-throughout the
United States-both Federal
and State-are immature
lawyers and judges - not
soundly versed in the knowl-
edge of the law, wholly lack
ing in judicial experience
whereas the nine on the
present Court-who hear no
witnesses, who receive no
jury verdictS-are consist
entity right? 1t would more
logically appear that the
lower court judges-most Of
whom have had years Of
judicial experience on the
bench. who possess tremen-
dous legal backgrounds and
who were appointed by diff
ferent Presidents-were OBJ
viously better disposed to
render sound judicial pro-
nouncements based on good
law rather than those ut
tered by men appointed for
political reasons and whose
underlying philosophy seems
to be based on political and
sociological fantasy.
"COnstitutionalist."
/ read with interest q re-
cent article by David Law
renee. a fine writer, referring
TO the Supreme Court. Mr..
Lawrence is correct in stat
ing that the members Of the
court hold Office during
good behavior" and not for
life, as some people seem to
think. The members Of the
Senate are the sole judges Of
the law and the facts as to
what is good and what is
bad. The last Judge TO be
convicted was q judge from
Florida. who brought his
court intoo disrepute by his
conduct. TINS same conclu-
sion could apply TO any count,
high or low.

IAN EditoriaU

With the announcement last week that the F 4 OF
Directors has undertaken a United Fund Drive for Ricnland
Homes a great and challenging opportunity presents itself
to the residents of Sidney and its surrounding area.
In this day and age. with the percentage of our popula-
ton over SIS years of age increasing constantly. there is real
need for homes for our aged men and women. This area is
to be congratulated that ii has seen this need and proposes
to do something about it.
The Board of Directors for Richland Homes and the
members of the executive committee of the Fund Drive are
men Of standing and men accustomed to getting things done.
Already much has been accomplished. With a fine assist
from the Richland county commissioners. a splendid location.
one mile south of Sidney. has been secured. And much time
has been devoted to setting up the organization that will
carry on the drive.
Much more remains to be done. How successfully it will
be accomplished depends upon the cooperation and assis-
lance that we. individually, give to the drive. Between now
and the middle of December. when the drive is scheduled
to be completed. all of us will have the opportunity to dem
onstrate our belief in the need for this project. We can
show that we. too. as well as the far sighted and unselfish
leaders who have shown the way. can be counted on to make
this fine dream become a reality.

Sidney Eagles
Prepare for
Basketball Season

With the seasons opener
against Williston only one week
off, head coach Toby Kangas has
intensified his practice sessions,
Averaging at least one workout
a day, the 18 man A squad has
much to accomplish before a pol
;shed five will be ready to meet
the opposition.
The Sidney mentor with six
lettermen returning and but one
regular expects to make further
cuts before he has a compact
unit that will play % games
before the season is over.
A year ago at this time the
Eagles were a group of expert
enced veterans who already were
tagged by many for top honors
in the Class A conference. That
squad proved the preseason ex-
perts to have been correct by
tying with Great Falls Central
for the league crown and then
going ahead to win the first
state basketball title for Sidney
High.
This year the outlook is not
quite so bright. Only Ron Quill
ling, Sill" forward, was a regu-
lar last season. The other letter
men, John Marman GU, Dick
Helten, 6'1", Dale Winter 6'h",
Doyle Dotson 5'1O' and Craig
Price 5'81a" lack considerably in
experience. All but Price are
seniors. Others presently on the

All of the harvest was done
mechanically, and as Mr. Lille
pointed out, had growers been
dependent on hand labor, the
harvest would be far short Of the
record set this year - as one of
the largest ever in this area.
1t is estimated that the Sidney
factory, with 426 employees in the
sugar mill, will operate 100 days
and close about February /, 1855.
Mr.. Lille stated that in the
Sidney area, the crop ran 1913
tons per acre, as compared to
l4.31 tons per acr last year.
While sugar content of the beets
is running about 3/4 percent
below last years crop, it will ex-
coed the past f~ive-year average,
with the result that this years
crop is termed, "the best ever"

Beet Acreage
Allotted 1858
Holly Growers

Over $4,000 acres of sugar
beets will be planted by farmers
served by the Holly Sugar fac
tories at Sidney and Hardin,
Montana, in 1858, according to
L. R. Cool, District Agriculturist.
This is the acreage allotment
allowed Holly Sugar growers in
the eastern Montana area under
provisions Of the Sugar Act. Mon
tana's entire sugar beet acreage
allotment for 1858 is 55,672 acres.
Holly's per cent of the state allot-
ment is 43.19%.
State allotments for Montana
under the Sugar Act through the
years of 1858 are as follows:
1855 - 51,248 acres
1856 - 51,429 acres
1857 - 57,210 acres
1858 - 55,672 acres
1t was in 1894 that Congress
passed the comprehensive Sugar
Act whose three main aims have
been. (1) to assure American
consumers an adequate supply Of
sugar at reasonable prices, (2)
to encourage foreign trade, and
(3) to provide a healthy economic
climate for a competitive domestic
sugar industry of a reasonable
size.
The basic methods of the Sugar
Act have also remained the same:
Each year the Secretary of Ag-
riculture estimates the nations
sugar needs and establishes quo
tas for the various supplying
areas to meet these needs, ac-
cording to a pattern specifically
set forth in the law. Quotas for
areas, both beet and
cane, amount to about $50 of
annual requirements, and foreign
quotas 45%. The Act has sta
bilized the domestic sugar in
but maintains keen COM
petition within it.
The greatest benefits of the
Sugar Act have accrued to the
housewife and the industrial, user
Of sugar. Supplies T now ample
Sc there is no need to "buy
ahead" and sugar prices have
risen one-third less than the av-
rage of all foods over the last
Is years.
