Now, It's Mostly Up To You! This newspaper has been happy and proud to record the rebirth of American confidence in America in the past few wejeks. . 1 But confidence without determined effort to back it up will prove futile. This wave of better feeling that sweeps the nation will be but a flash in the pan without good, honest, hon-est, shoulder-to-the-vvheel drive behind it. The people, as usual, will get exactly that to which they are entitled and no more. The question of high governmental costs; is not solved just because Roosevelt has shown the way. Every branch of government must be made to follow the Roosevelt path. Our public officials must be forced to march up that trail. The new deal means a better deal for our people. How long it remains so depends entirely on the people. And Roosevelt will remain potent only as long as the people back him up. -.'xii i Today, the people will a thing; Roosevelt docs it. If we wish him to keep doing things we must keep willing will-ing them; eternally smash our enemies; constantly battle for the right. V , As a people, we glory in our new-found power; and in our new-found way to make that power effective. Roosevelt Roose-velt has done what he has done simply because the public mind made itself felt thruqut the nation. Let us not rest en our laurels. The enemies of the public pub-lic weal are not inactive just because they are not out in the open. They never sleep; they fitfht as hard today as ever. With any letdown in public aggressiveness they will come out into the open again to make our vitory a hollow one. Fight on. America ! Howdy, folks! President Roosevelt Roose-velt Is planning to conserve the national forests. Well, we've done our part. We shot a woodpecker yesterday.

(If I only could, brother; if I only could.) "Still, we have one thing in common the belief that the ultimate redemption of society lie:, in the establishment of a co-operative commonwealth, com-monwealth, without profits, politicians or national pat riotism.

Once more, the eternal urge for peace, for security, for the contentment that comes from'Tipnest toil, surges thru the broo.1 of our people. The vision in those eyes must be turned into reality. That urge in the blood must find an opportunity for expression. As the soil of our own west, in bygone years, gave birth to a new race a finer, cleaner, better people so must the soil of America once more mother a new genera- f tion finer, more intelligent than we are. America's hope today lies, not in her crowded cities, not along her hard pavements, pave-ments, not in her humanity-packed warrens war-rens but out where the wind whistles free., where the sun and the rain pour down their life-giving gifts, and where a man and woman, arms around each other's oth-er's shoulders, can look the world in the t'nfn n frw rwvmlf in a frpp emDire. K In time of stress, our people instinctive ly turn to the land source of all their wealth. They long, once more, to wrest a living from the soil with their hands; to use their brains and energy in direct action. ac-tion. What little wealth the average city man can obtain today comes originally from the land. But it must rjass thru too many hands; it must pay too much tribute. The tiny trickle that remains for the city dweller is not enough. H There is, perhaps, not much material wealth in the country; certainly not as much as in the city. But there is something more precious than wealth: The sense of achievement, the satisfaction of doing something useful, use-ful, the joy of actually producing a living. As a nation, we are lucky we have the land to which to turn. Most nations, overcrowded, without initiative, cannot solve their problems as we are solving ours. And so, once more, American soil and American courage will rebuild a shattered nation and in the rose-dawn of a new day a new people, determined, clear-eyed, upstanding, will emerge to carry on their heritage. who, by the way, is not only mayor but sole survivor of Old Moose City "was catch a few jacks and soak them good in gold chloride -"and then turn them loose and let nature take her course "We taught the jacks to come ' at our call and after a few months we would build a. fence ; system leading into a flume- with j riffles in it I "Then we would call the jacks One-half the population Is living with relations.
