Community Auditorium. I THE STATESMAN ‘When the chief concern of a man in public life is in his community, he no longer is a politician—he is a states- man. That term is too often applied to a man, who, while in office, is mainly concerned in political fence- mending at home, despite; his declamations about the workings of the government for the benefit of the peo- ple. The “dear people” are all in all to him in his speeches while he keeps his mind’s eye on conditions at home that may or may not result in his re-election. Senator Byrd has been considered a statesman for many years. Though a Dem- ocrat, he has been fearless in making statements, par- ticularly about taxation, that were against the Democratic party. He has fought for the state, which means the peo- ple, regardless of what party it helped or harmed. Reducing the _ govern- ment payroll has been ad- vocated by him, year in and year out, and he has told thousands of persons who did little more than endorse their salary checks. He knew that his disclosures would work against him among thousands of people at home, but he was uncon- cerned in fenee-mending and concerned in the welfare of the people.

NOT A BAD HABIT Meat-eating says Dr. Es-| ful ther Phipard identified as! them a Department of Agricul- ture nutrition expert—what- ever that is—is only a ‘habit and not essential to the diet even of persons engaged in hard manual labor.
