YELLOW JACKET (Icono-clastic) (Icono-clastic) says: CHRISTIANS TAKE NOTE For more than half a century the editor of The Yellow Jacket lias been standing on the highway ot our Christian Constitutional government, warning our people of the peril that has Leen slowly creeping into our country via the ' systems" sys-tems" of Socialistic schoolings, "practical ' policies, freedom free-dom of thought," etc. This cancer of Communism has teen slowly hut surely sure-ly soaking into the circulation of our Republic. It started as "Socialism," then our schools, following the fiendish plans of the German "higher critics," were impregnated with text Looks and teachers who began by denying the Bible, thus undermining the faith of our future citizens, and thus the whole hellish scheme has crept slowly but certainly along until today we have the brazen image of Communism Commun-ism flaunting its spile,, wrapping its fiendish fingers about the Goddess of Liberty and brazenly boasting now of its "power to crush all opposition by our law-makers or national nation-al government." Listen to this brazen boast by Wm. Z. Foster, chairman chair-man of the Communist Party for the United States. Foster, whose damnable dirt has already damaged the status of many weak followers of his "system" said these things, in a radio debate on the American Forum of the Air with Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, Congressswoman, challenging him: "We carry on propaganda for the liquidation of reli-gious reli-gious belief among the workers. Many workers join the Communist Com-munist Party who still have some religious scruples, but workers who understand the elementary principles of the Communist Party must necessarily be in the process' of liquidating li-quidating his religious beliefs, and when he joins the party, he will soon get rid of them. Our party considers religion to be the opiate of the people, as Karl Marx has stated. My opinion is that a members of the party of the Soviet Union who would be married in the church wouldn't be of any value to the Communist Party and he would eventually be put out of the party. "The workers of this country and the workers of every country have only one flag. That's the Red Flag." When asked if he owed allegiance to the American flag, Foster told Mrs. Luce : "I stated very clearly that the Red Flag is the flag of the revolutionary class, and we are part of the revolutionary class, and all capitalist flags are flags of the capitalist class, AND WE OWE NO ALLEGIANCE TO THEM." Fellow Americans, how much longer must free Americans Ameri-cans tolerate such treason within our land of the free? It is our honest belief that unless we rally at the next election and elect patriotic Republican Congressmen to guard our freedom, our country is certain to be skidded into the shackles of Communistic control . . . TheGuIFport (Miss.) DIXIE GUIDE (Independent) says: "THE MAN" We have been amused, if not a little irritated, by comment com-ment over the radio and through the press on Senator Bilbo and Congressman Rankin. The commentators have become more ridiculous since Bilbo's and Rankin's election than they were before. Bilbo is a by-product of the New Deal. He had been repudiated at the polls and was down-and-out politically and financially when President F. D. Roosevelt called him to Washington and gave him a good job. He was groomed back into political power as an antidate for Huey Long, who was at the time a Democratic work. Bilbo returned to Mississippi Mis-sissippi with the blessing of the "powers that were" upon his head and was, of course, elected. With the growth, of bureaus and the spread of patronage it was not difficult for him to win a second term. It has been an interesting spectacle specta-cle to see the more radical elements within the New Deal responsible for Bilbo's political prestige conniving to unseat him. In the election of this month "The Man" Bilbo beat the field in the first primary as was expected. Out-of-the-state opposition to Bilbo was resented in Mississippi and men and women who had never voted for him fell from political grace to declare their political independence. As with Bilbo, so with John Rankin. Mississippians are jealous of their suffrage, their individual freedom to vote as they please without outside interference. I know of no incident in the careers of this or any other Deep South state, in which we have endeavored to dictate the activities of citizens in other commonwealths. We may not like the behavior, the customs or the political selections made in New York, Illinois or Massachusetts, but we have always felt that it was a matter for the decision of the people peo-ple within those states to make. In spite of our tolerance for others, for over a hundred years now, citizens of other states have endeavored, repeatedly, to run our affairs. We have heard and seen them for these many months vent their rheum upon the air and their spleens in print. In one way or another they determined to force their wills upon a state and a section that wishes to be left alone. Real Mississippians Mississip-pians have no apologies to make for the reelection of Bilbo and Rankin. And if' these policital pirates continue their attacks upon us, we will bust the New Deal into so many pieces that no one will ever be able to put it together again. The wrath, of the Deep South, rises as it did in 1861, and the ille gitimate Democrats who invaded the party, either eith-er for spoils or communistic contamination, are responsible for a political condition that becomes inreasingly intolerable. More than 100 years ago the seat of S. S. Prentiss of Mississippi was contested in Congress in a celebrated case that shook Washington and stirred the Republic. In defense of the office to which Prentiss had been duly elected, he made a speech, a paragrapK of which follows: ' Upon all the States, do I solemnly call for that justice to another which .they would expect for themselves. Let this cup pass from Mississippi ... Rescind that resolution, which presses like a foul incubus upon the Constitution. You sit here, twenty-five sovereign states, in judgment upon the most sacred rig ht of a sister State ; that which is to a state what chastity is to a woman, or honor to a man. Should you decide against her, you tear from her brow the richest jewel which sparkles there, and forever bow her head in shame and dishonor. But if your determination is taken, if the blow must fall, if the Constitution must bleed; I have but one request, on her behalf, to make: When you decide that she cannot choose her own representation, at the same moment mo-ment blot from the star-spangled banner of the Union the rig ht star that glitters to the name of Mississippi, but leave the stripe behind, a fit emblem of her degradation." The Pal metto (Fla.) NEWS (Democratic) says: WILL YOUR SALARY STAND SIX TIMES AS MUCH TAX FOR SOCIAL SECURITY MEDICAL CARE? Did you ask for compulsory health insurance? Are you sure you did not? Well, Senator Pepper thinks you should have it and as chairman of the Senate Labor sub-committee he has reported that compulsory system is the one way to provide medical care for all persons. Who is going to pay for it? You are. How- WreII, the sub-committee declared the compulsory plan would have to be financed by required contributions to the Social Security Se-curity Fund and by payments from the general tax revenues. It is estimated that the extra tax that would be withheld from weekly wages or salaries would be 5 percent or five times as much as now. Add the extra 5 percent tax to the present 1 percent tax and you will be taxed 6 percent or six times as much as now. How do you like that? Though there have been no public meetings or petitions peti-tions demanding that you be taxed extra, to provide medical care for all persons, the all-wise planners in Washington have decided that you should have government administered medical care. You are going to get it, unless you tell your Senators and your Representatives that you do not want it. Why is all this so-called medical care being thrust upon you? Why is Senator Pepper so anxious about your health? We do not know how anxious Senator Pepper may be about your health. But, we believe that he is anxious to put hundreds of thousands of extra bureaucrats on the Federal Fed-eral payroll, to keep the books and handle the RED TAPE of all the reports concerning health and medical care from bureaucrats who will go into every county and good-sized town. The only way Senator Pepper can think of to pay the salaries of these extra bureaurats is to have six time's as much tax withheld from your salary or wages every week. That is the same way Hitler got control of Germany 15 years ago. Thousands of extra jobs were created. Every job holder and his family had to vote for members of the Reichstag Reich-stag who promised that they would appropriate money to pay for all kinds of so-called social service ... |
