Constitution Week
Preserving Our Nation And Government

Never belittle the office of the
President of the United States, nor
the Supreme Court nor the Constitu-
ton, and let's instill this in our chill
dren," a County Superintendent told a
Delta audience last week.
His was excellent advice - if we
want to preserve our nation and our
representative government.
Those remarks were and are ap-
propriate at any time, especially at
this time when as a nation and people
we are getting ready to observe Con
ktitution Week" by proclamation of the
President of the United States and the
Mayor of our fine city.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution will spearhead as always
this annual observance of Constitu-
ton Week September 1923. All citi-
zens are urged to join with the OAR
and other patriots in paying special
attention to our Federal Constitution
and the advantages of American citi-
zenship during that PERIOD" as Mayor
w. B. Kenna's proclamation said.
Along with other Americans we
take for granted countless blessings
that other people throughout the world
do not have. Surely it is not asking too
much that once or twice a year we de-
vote some time and thought to what
American citizenship means in terms
of responsibilities as well as privileges.
One responsibility we have is try
ing to understand our Constitution.
Just what does it mean?
In Mississippi and other Southern
states some of us need to study this
wonderful document we profess to love
and cherish and see how far we actual
ly are from accepting or applying it's
provisions to all citizens in our w
state.
Some would deny rights to other
citizens which are naturally theirs by
birth at the same time claiming special
privilege for themselves. This is not in
the American tradition of freedom and
democracy.
In truth we must all realize by
now that America cannot continue to
be the leader of the Free World while
denying citizenship and freedom to
great numbers of her w people at
home.
We are living in the historic age
when the American dream must be-
come the reality.
So it is that we must not only be
willing to understand what America is
all about, this Federal Republic with
its Constitution and Bill of Rights,
but WE must be prepared to defend it
with our own lives. if need be.
Few of us will be called upon to
lay down our lives for our country,

Editorial Of Note

Are we kidding ourselves in believ-
ing that Mississippi and the South is
the center Of American conservatism?
Particularly in Mississippi do we
preach conservatism. We lambast the
'leftwingers" of other states. But des-
pite our preachments about c%onservat-
ism the evidence is piled high that we
are no different from many other areas
of liberal thinking.
The place to test the thinking of
people is in the Congress. Senators and
congressman understand what their
people want. They are professionals in
interpreting the wants and needs of
their constituents. IF congressman and
senators are repeatedly reelected it is
proof that they are interpreting the
thinking of their people correctly.
1t is strange that there is not a
~Southerner on the list of 10 senators
declared the most conservative" And
it is revealing that there is not a South
ern representative on the list of 10
most conservative congressman"
The Stricken Research Associates
have made a study Of the conservative
leadership on Capitol Hill with an eff
fort to determine how the two major
parties fit into the framework of con-
servatism, liberalism and the middle
of-the-road ideologies. The ratings are
founded upon the votes of the last ses-
sion of Congress.
Newsweek magazine takes the po-
sition that the Stricken ratings are
more significant than ratings made by
the AFL-CIO, AGA, ADA and others.
It gives as its reason the fact that the
Stricken study involves a larger num-
Der and variety of roll calls in Con-
gress.
The determination of the conserv-
atism of congressional members was
founded upon their votes involving the
enlargement of federal authority and
activities. fiscal policy and the inter-
VCIlC1OA VI SOVCI IlIlCll III IIlC IICC GU
nomy.
Opinions expressed on these cate
gories - enlargement of federal au-
thority, federal spending and federal
interference in private enterprise =
should be a valid approach to the rat
ing of senators and representatives as
conservatives and liberals respectively.
The following are the 10 "most
conservative" senators as listed alpha
betically in the Stricken rating:
Bennett (Rep.) - Utah
Cotton (Rep.) N. Hampshire
Curtis (Rep.) Nebraska
Dirksen (Rep.) - Illinois
Goldwater (Rep.) Arizona
Hickenlooper (Rep.) Iowa
Hruska (Rep.) Nebraska
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1963-09-12

1t is interesting TO ODSefNc IidC
none of these conservative represent
atives and senators hail from the
South. On the contrary the delegation
from Ohio is rated as the nations most
conservative while the most liberal"
delegation halls from the state of New.
York. All of the two lists of these coma
servatives are Republicans. ,
On the other hand two Of the en-
ators listed as the most liberal are Gore
and Kefauver of our sister state of
Tennessee.
One reason for the illusion regard
ing the conservative South may be the
consistent conservative stand in racial
matters. But there are other matters g
outside the field of race which affect
the expansion of federal authority and
federal spending and the invasion into
the field of private enterprise. Thus we
find many conservative senators
and congressman who support IVA,
low interest REA loans, the proposed
Tombigbee authority, expanded well
fare, agricultural planning and the like.
The average Mississippian if asked
about the identity of the conservative
members of Congress would reply:
Certainly u Mississippi delegation
should be included"
But none of the Mississippi delega-
ton was included.
This leads us to think that Missis-
sippi people themselves, are not as con-
sentative as they think they are. There
may be far more liberalism in Missie-
tsippi than Mississippians think - and
Miss~issippians are responsible for it.
Senators and congressman vote for
the things their constituents want. An
examination of the situation finds Mis-
~sissippians giving losd-tp service to
conservative government while clamor-
ing for many liberal measures. A good
example was that of Gov. Ross Barnett,
champion of states rights, going to
Washington to seek millions in federal
aid for the development of the Tombig-
bee waterway which certainly would
divert freight from privately owned
railroads and truck lines.

Davis Makes
Threat For
SEC Crown

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. CUPID -
A. w Davis took karate lessons
this past summer and packed an
extra 20 pounds of muscle on his
lanky frame. To followers of
Southeastern Conference basket
ball that should spell trouble
from Tennessee this season.
After Tennessee beat Ken
lucky for the second time last
season, even the faithful follow
ers of Adolph Rupp at Lexing-
ton conceded that Davis was
bound to become one Of the ma
tons finer basketball players if
he could just put on some
weight. Well, he's done it.
The 6-7 junior wingman from
Rutledge, Tenn, now weighs in
at 1876 pounds. After a summer
Of hard work his incredible soft
shot looks better than ever.
The new Davis and the old
Danny Schultz, a 81 ball ham
ding wizard from Middlesboro,
KY, should be enough to make
Tennessee a definite contender
for conference cage honors. But
Coach Ray Mears has an entire
stable of potential stars and a
bench packed with eager new
corners.
Mears spent most Of his first
season as Tennessee's head bas-
ketball coach in the hospital.
But the disciplined offenSe he
installed before falling i'll was
good enough to give Tennessee
a 1911 record even though cen
ter Orb Bowling broke a foot

Slaughter N eek
HON e Club

The Slaughter Neck Home
Demonstration Club held its
March meeting at the home Of
Mrs. Mary Elwanger. Her CO.
hostess was Mrs. Susan Penuel.
We decided at the February
meeting which was held at Mrs.
Margarite Benefits home to
begin having a co-hostess to
help with the refreshments and
arrangements, etc. Everything
was lovely with Easter decora-
tions and the refreshments also
had festive air.
Several of the members
brought crafts which they had
made themselves. Such lovely
assortment Of handiwork you
wouldn't believe that we were
so talented! Among the nu-
merous works Of art were rugs,
afghans, knit sweaters, dresses,
Christmas cards for next
Christmas made from old cards,
crocheted napkin holders,
needlepoint, and a handmade
crocheted lace tablecloth.
One Of the features Of the
afternoon was an idea for re-
plenishing our treasury. Some
one brings a small surprise gift.
Each person puts in few cents
and guesses what is in the pack
age. The one who guesses
the right thing gets the gift.
Then she brings the gift for
next month and so on until
everyone has received a gift
and also carried a gift to a
meeting.
The meeting adjourned with
everyone reporting a most en-
joyable afternoon.
Mrs. Blanche Bennett has
most graciously invited the club
members and their friends to be
her guests for the April meet
ing, which will be held on Apr.
%, at 1880 pm.
