Shall it be said of us by the historian that we built up one of the greatest civilizations of all time, but were foolish enough to undermine it by disunity, traitorous criticism, greed for profit, immorality and carelessness, and turned to fighting each other while it was wrecked over our heads ? Dishonest Critics Playing With Lightning Some think we are a bit too much alarmed over the ramp ant criticism of the government now going on. If the sources of the worst of it were honest it would not be so bad. But when v,e know that it is dishonest snd put forth for the pur pose of breaking down and destroying instead of helping to sa e. then, we think, it is time for alarm. To those who in-spire falsehoodsand maliciously put, forth their vitriolic critic-ism in the.--e times we any that they are playing with lightning a d will regret their actions, because they are doing what may help to destroy American civilization. They may laugh but they had belter bpgin teaching and preaching loyalty.not hate. American government and civilization can be destroyed by creating hatred fur it sufficient to canse civil strife, and when that gets going it will paralyze the war effort and let down the bars for enemy invaders. If these defamers of gov-ernment wish to save their h ;rit,age they had better beware what they are doing. They can head off civil strife and enenw invasion by fostering unity and loyalty. Any other course will bring a condition that will make the present seem heaven It is a serious mat tor. America must be saved at any cost. The last, best hope of the human race, held in reserve in the hand of Destiny, founded on Plymouth Rock, nurtured on the' stubborn breast, of New England, nourished by the wide plains und prarifs, enriched by the wealth of the golden West and the strength of the everlasiingdiills, must not perish from the Some New and Fearful Aspects of the War The longer we live the more we find out. We rejoice at the present successes in the war and are as anxious for victory And true peace as any one But we have learned that real peace will not come from early cessation of the war, nor, ead to say. will it come from an early victory over the Axis. This great global war is but a skirmish ranch like the two little affairs preceding Waterloo. The real fearful and most de-structive war, either following this one, or being a continua tion of it, will come from the uprising of the submerged mil-lions of Asia. And out of them is coming the cruel Anfi Christ who will scourge the earth more savagely than did Genghis Khan. Allied leaders have not sufficiently considered Asia. "About mid-ye- ar in '42," says Pearl M. Buck, an author, ity, "there was a day when the great people of Asia were very close to the Allies, and had leaders declared that this was a war for the freedom of ALL peoples.we would not now have to face another war of which this one is only the beginning. Unless there is a miracle we will have to fight another war to save freedom. The shadow of war does not grow less as Germany and Japan grow weaker." Japan is already moving toward this end and will, if she can, stir up India and the whole Mohmedan world to get reedy for Asia's great day. Le'l us hope and pray that the ''miracle" may happen and that civilization may be saved by the defeat of the Axis, and that there may be wisdom enough in leaders to avert the terrible prospect here told about.

Mutiny in the armed forces would be dealt with quickly. No individual can openly defy his government and get away with it '"' Philadelphia Record. The skeptic Fays, "Oh, Yeah! And John L Lewis says something like this: ' Mr President: The United Mine Work-ers are so sensitive that on no account must they be punished, either for actual or imaginary sins " "But," says Uncle Sam "This is mutiny bordering on treason, and neither John or his United Mine Workers can defy this government AND EXPECT TO GET AWAY WITH IT." "Well," says John, "couldn.t you punish someone else? The men (and all Unions) would be awfully frightened.

The UMW and John L. duly impressed, AND ALL IS WELL! i IMWM i iiriirii'i-am-fi Mrs. Kimball and Mrs. Worthing-ton, dressed soberly and wearing their best black gloves, walked along the stony country road back toward Sophia Hardy's farm, to pay their visit of condolence. "How do you reckon she'll be bearing up?" Mrs. Kimball asked Mrs. Worthington. Both ladies wore their most solemn, funereal expres-sions. "A mighty, severe blow," Mrs. Worthington said. "Mighty severe. To lose your only son, the. mainstay of your declining years. And such a dreadful death, too to go down with a ship. Mercy!" "The first of our boys from Hand County to go, too," Mrs. Kimball said, mournfully, --r iVkQ, "I wouldn't blame fli kAVj Sophia Hardy for SM 'VLvC leering right bit-- They stood on A if S t'le s'mPe stone VsNr--,, doorstep, with ' fJKmj" downcast eyes, getting them-selves into the proper commiserative mood. "Come in!" The voice was brisk and cordial. They looked up in surprise. Sophia herself had come to the door. As they followed her into the parlor they exchanged glances, with eye-brq-lifted. Sophia was not even in mourning. The parlor shades were not even drawn. "It's nice of you to come," Sophia said. "Do sit down." "We came," Mrs. Kimball said almost reprovingly, "to tell you that our hearts are bleeding for you in your great loss." "We know how lonely you must be out here," Mrs. Worthington said. "With nothing to take your mind off . . . off . . ." She sniffed and reached in her purse for a hand-kerchief. "Oh, I keep busy," Sophia said. "I've just finished applying for the Government insurance on Tom's life." The visiting ladies could not re-sist a shocked glance at one an-other. "I want to get' it right away," So-phia said. "So I can put it into War Bonds. My boy hasn't finished fight-ing yet, not by a long shot." The ladies Were so occupied with feeling horrified, so titillated by this callous behaviour in a bereaved mother that neither of them no-ticed Sophia's hands. Under the folds of-- ' her clean print dress, against the seat of her chair, they were tightly clenched. (Story from an actual report in ths files of the Treasury Depart-ment.)

Andersen of Axtell In 1694 the Bank of Englahd was founded, in spite of the fact tliat the Whigs considered it would lead to absolu-tism and the Tories said it would lead to Republicanism. This conspiracy was permitted lo borrow money at 4 per cent and lend it to the government at 8 per cent. The bank was also allowed by the charter to circulate notes, paper cur-rency, in excess of bullion it held, that is to say, to create money out of nothing. Thus debt became the fundomensal principle of finance, and whilst this magic wag replac ing the mysteries af religion. From Decisives by J. C. Fuller page 389, Scribhers. - Juvenile Delinquency It is said that there is so much juvenile delinquency abouts that it is alarming. State and national laws are against hiring boys and girls 15 and 16 and 17 who go in droves about the principal streets without education or training or religious instruction. By permitting it this and all other coromnni-tie- s are tying a mill stone of future trouble about their necks. It would be a hundred times better for the city and for the young people if they were employed at useful work and being trained for the future. There is needed, here and everywhere, more than preaching, which never reaches those who need it most. hat could not the editorial pages of great papers do in the crisis of today? If, instead of criticising the govern-ment and filling a good people's soul with hatred for their elec-ted officials, there could be reading matter that would uplift, that would inspire to patriotism and loyalty, that would lead to culture and refinement, that would blazon the vision of God's plan and purpose with these times and the men at the helm, many might be ted to do better in their country's ex-tremity. To City, County, State Officials There is so much talk about a shortage of labor and it was said that the city couldn't, get men to clean off the snow from the walks arid streets- - Gentlemen, a two-ho- tour- - of the streets and pool halls would round up hundreds of boys and not a few men, who, in these war times should be drafted and put to work, for their own good, and the public's You of fi i cials should go after lhe gasoline wasters, who are so numer. ous hereabouts. Us a shame. The way they break speed laws is also a shame. Let's wake up to the truth that we're in war SOME PATRIOTISM A soldier had left his wife and child at home and gone to help fight the battles for America. The wife had great diffi-culty in getting a place to live. She secured one furnished room without running water, or private bath and lavatory, and the good brother landlord demanded $30 a month! The woman took the matter to her bishop and he took it up with the 0. P. A. and the officials decided that $10 a month was a fair rental. Because of greed rentals would have gone to $100 a room. Had it not been for the rental agency set up by govern-ment. J HALLIDAY PASSES Our good old Friend and Neighbor Wm Halliday 86, de- -' parted this life Wednesday of I last week from a heart attack Funeral service was held Fri-- ; day. He was a great, kind,hu-- i manitarian soul, with a fine, ! d mind, a stately ' form, an agile step and a ra-- ; Iiaht personality. But under a ' system which values position I and wealth more than man's inner worth he was just a 'poor man.' But over in the Beyond it will be known that his heart was pure and his soul oleic and he will measure up with many of the best of them. "'What though on hamcly fare we dine, Wearhoddin gray and a' that, The rank is but the guinea stamp, The man's the gowd for a' that " C. V. Hansen's Philosophy The nation was shocked last week when a young woman was L slain in her berth on the train in Oregon, by a Negro who was second cook on the train When questioned, he confessed that he had been drinking, making this statement: "I walked through the car and saw the girl resting on her berth. I went to bed and when I woke up I lay there half asleep, and still half drunk. Then the girl in lower 13 came into my mind, I entered the berth, I guess I cut her. I was all loaded and it was all in a fog to me." There is no doubt but what if the Negro had not been drinking, the life of a beautiful young wife would have been spared In the opinion of many seriou8 minded men and women, those who sold the Negro the liquor that made him drunk ;ire responsible for the horrible death of the young woman. Those who voted to license the sale of liquor are also responsible for the murder, as also those wl,o manufactured it. Peace, Thought, Lived and Practised The Christian Science Monitor: Throughout history, the ideals and formulae of many men have been tried in order to obtain a lasting peace. Some held for a time, and some fell through immediately, but there is one person in history whose teachings have never been given a sufficient tiial; a man who was undoubtedly an "inspired per-sonality;" a man who defeated evil underevery circumstance. That man is of course our beloved Jesus Christ. His teachings are the only possible route to world peace. They are unswayed by politics and public opinion. His is the only philosophy in all history that has no fault or miscalculation. Hatred, tnvy, pride,bruta!ity, and every phase of evil must, be wiped from the human mentality ; and love, humanlity, kind-ness, and equality, must be put in their place " May we add that the doctrines of Jesus are the only posi tive and everlasting remedy for all human ills, ills of govern-ment, of economics, of finanee, of social inequality, of injustice, in fact any and every form of inharmony from which liuman-t- y suffers Had U. S. Kept to Her Moorings Had the United States kept, herself anchored to the faith f Washington, to the the soul of Lincoln, and given heed to lhe Master, she would not now need co fear any worldly thing. - |
