Show THE MIDVALE JOURNAL Friday, August 2, 1929 FUNDAMENTAL LAW IS SACRIFICE By DOCTOR HIBBEN, Preoident Princeton University. A N L 1 VE'l'EUA'fE inertia, a native tendency to yield to the lux- ury of indolence, is that whic-h most seriously militate~ against , the full development of the powers within us. Supreme vliliiP I would define as that which we are unwilling to sacrifice in order to gain any other thing, however valuable it may a.ppear to be. If the integritJ' of our personality is the supreme value, the first consideration in our lives must be the safeguarding of this treasure. There are two ways by which the wholeness of our being may be im}Yaired-either through structural weakness or through the arresting of the development of our potential powers. But more virulent a danger than sacrificing the man within us for the animal, is the native tendency to drift with the current of the daily hap ings of chance, and to shrink from paying the price of sustained effort. The sole question of values in life is not merely what you can get out of life that will prove most valuable, but also what is to be the value of life not to yourself alone bui to the world of your day and generation, and in this connection, let us not fail to recognize that the char· · acteristic feature of religion is its fundamental law of servitor and of service and of sacrifice for the common good. Ultimately the objedive of religion and what you consider the highest good in your fife will lie identical. ARMY OFFICER'S DUTY AS CITIZEN By JAlllES W. GOOD, Secretary of War. One of the greatest opportunities of the graduate;; of the United States ~Iilitary academy for service is the voluntary observance of tne la.ws of the state in which they live and of the nation whose laws they take oath to obey. The regular army officer's life is no longer C'onfined to the performance of military duties, but the times are making many varied d ands ~pon the officers. 'rhe governme"nt is using the arm_v officer more at home and abroad as its representative and realizes he makes a tactful and capable agent. In the performance of his varied tasks it is imperative that he l' h b d f t b IS ('l'l a on s o common purpose with his fellow men in civil life. remembering that when we assume the soldier we do not lay aside the citizen. His first consideration must always be the national defense, but that does not preclude a ratjonal participation in the life of the cernmunity and a sincere intere8t in its problem~ and projects. . The habit of obser\·ance of domestic Jaw will breed r"sp"ct for ,·nteroo. " natjonal obligatio~s. Theirs is a profession which upholds and restores peace. Therefore no greater opportunity for ,c:ervice lies before them than • the voluntary observance of the law. )\'1AKE NATIONS SUBJECT TO LAW By EX-GOVERNOR LOWDE:-l, Illinois. -~ " Civilization must keep pace in its moral and mental progress with its material advance. We have got to insist that nations obey the same moral obligations we lay upon men. There used to be a theory that the rules of conduct which govern men generally do not apply in certain relations of life. A conspicuous example is that of the politi<'ian. He is too often excused for his conduct by saying, "Oh, that's politics.'' That excuse for the politician or the nation is a thing the past has uried. Nations in their relations must observe the ordinary mr-.ral ('OD· cepti'. That is a condition of the complete success of all conferences for disarmament, of all conferences for improved international rel?.tions. There is no difference between a nation and nn individual as to his moral obligations. The nation is morally an aggregate of all its citizens. If there was one thing that was made clear throughout the war, it was that the moment a nation adopts the philosophy that it can do no wrong, just that moment some subtle influence begins to corrypt and destroy the chara<'ter of its own <'iti7.ens. MUST .DEFEND NATION'S IDEALS • By COL. R. K. SPILLER, Roanoke, Va . Preparedness is the one sure way of preventing war and preserving our cherished American ideals. The present wave of pacifism is undermin ng American preparedness and leave11 the United States in a defenseless s te compared to that preceding the World war. Pacifism eventually w.il! break down the national morale of America. Preparedness begins in the .borne, and when our family morale i:> sh!.\ttered, the nation IS helplei's. I see little ground for belief that there will be no more wars. The ideals of the United States have been preserved for a longer period than those of any other nation and we ·must be prepared to defend them at all times. FOR PHILIPPINE DEVELOPMENT '. By DWIGHT F.
