VICTORY OF POPULISM One day this week while delv ing into the insides of the old Parry house we discovered som" pages on the People’s Party P i per printed in Atlanta, Ga.. prob ably under the eye of Tom Wat son, leader of the Populists as the members of the People’s par ty were called. It was not surprising to discov er this memory of the political past for the house was built by W. J. and Frank peddicord as a residence for W. J. who taught sch(X)l in Moro and was a candi date for school superintendent in 1892 being defeated by Hiram Tyree, and who made it in 1896. After a term he became editor of the local populist newspaper and wrote long screeds about th? necessity of adopting the theor ies of that group. Sorrow not for the populists. Nothing Is dead about that party but the name. As the New Deal and whatever new Truman called his administration and the New Frontier, populism goes on strong er than It was when William J. Ilryan run as a Democrat advo cating free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. Populists hate money (other people’s money) and hate bus! ness ¡mil always have some gim mick to make money easy for all without going through the trouble of earning it. Modern populists call themselves lllx»rals which they are not for liberals traditionally hate government. Back in 1893 when the pa|x?r that started this editorlul was printed, populists were advocat ing the free coinage of silver and a graduated income tax. postal savings hanks, government man agement of railroads, telephone and telegraph, an eight hour da, on government work, the Inltla tlve and referendum, and a single term for president. You see the Populists have don«1 right well. But the suspicion that is the ear mark of all Populists slid prevails. If anyone aa- money or displays the evidence of It he is a target for Populists who are very sure he could not have got ten It without some form of dis honesty. They are ofen poor in money and often |>oor in more important things. approved in beau* llcy. with ED ORE* y night, tre is noti •pirit of ¡xitent a.‘ valiant pionc J ohn RIDAV, APRII. 21, 1961 society whose self appointed leaders seem unrealistically reactk mary in po;- itical ideas. Some ar e as socially violent as the conn mmists they would like to defeat, Some preach ar. austerity not like ly to be lav- ored by enough of t lie pampeve l to make the reform effort prac- ticai and thus are v /anting time But we are very much coit cerned about the tea: ions why the John Birch society is attracting s • much attention. Recall of Earl Warren would not appall us al though reinstatement of the laws held unconstitutional by the Warren court would lie no great handicap to the Communists. What we suspicion gives the John Birch society support is the fear and dislike of big govern ment and big taxes and the ap- parent prospect of getting more o. the same for• tiie next four years. Communisitn is hig g<oveni- merit and total control oif pro- ductlon. In other words the John Birciiers seem to be trying to ix? individuals in a socialistic soc let y and being rather unsuccess ful at it. There isn’t much need of uny new agencies to fight communism whose name is anathema al though its philosophy is gain ing. Some who pro,ess the most fear of communism embrace its. ideas so that w hat w e nee i more than another group to fight communism is some better under standing of what communism is. This does not seem to be the role ol the John Biren group. But there must be an under current of individualism and a hidden dislike for big govern ment to have made this litt»? gioup so prominent. d care. 31-tfn.
