* desert of waters, you *
* choose them as your •
* guides, and, following *
* them, you reach your •

To be honest, to he kind, to
earn a little, and to spend a
little less, to make upon the
whole a family happier for his
presence, to renounce when
that shall be necessary and not
to be embittered, to keep a
few friends, but these without
capitulation; above all, on the
same condition, to keep
friends with himself; here is a
task for all a man has of forti-
tude and delicacy. — Robert
Louis Sieventon.
Those ‘‘end of the rainbow"
songs and expectations will all
have to be revised. Those who
have seen it say that from an
airplane, the rainbow appear*
as a complete circle.—Office
Economist.
The war talk which has
been heard so volubly for the
past year or so seems to be
subsiding, but there is as yet
no certainty that we have ar-
rived at the era of perpetual
peace.
That era will never arrive
until the nations find a basis of
agreement as to the division of
the world among them in ac-
cordance with their needs.
Peace can never be permanent
so long as any nation feels that
It is unjustly excluded from
rights and privileges which
others enjoy.
Once a people become so
nation-conscious that they not
only deny to other* the right
to differ with them but insist
upon their innate superiority
over their neighbors, the seeds
of war have been sown. When
strong nations adopt that at-
titude toward the rest of the
world, there is nothing the
non-aggressive nations can do
for self-preservation hut to
arm themselves and hold them-
selves ready for the inevitable
conflict which will come as
soon as the arrogant nations
believe it can win a war.
The millennium is a long
way off. The perfect guaran-
tee of perpetual peace would
be the complete and sincere
recognition by everyone in the
world of the essential brother-
hood of all mankind and the
complete equality of all human
beings in the sight of God.
Lacking that, the next best se-
curity of peaceful peoples is a
sufficiently strong system of
national defense to make any
other nation hesitate before
doing anything to stir up
trouble.
FREEDOM OF IDEAS
The Governor of New York
State has vetoed a bill ps’sed
by the legislature which would
bar Communists and others
holding “radical" beliefs from
holding public office or teach-
ing in the public schools. In
his veto message Gov. Lehman
wrote that the measure would:
"Abridge freedom of speech,
freedom of thought, freedom
of the press and freedom of
assembly.
“A demand for statutory en-
actment such as this can come
only from a distrust of our
democratic processes. I have
no such distrust. My disap-
proval of this bill is based on
my faith in democracy.”
Every thoughtful person, we
believe, will agree with Gov.
Lehman that a governmental
system which can be endan-
gered by the circulation and
discussion of ideas is not very
solidly founded. The whole
principle of our democracy i*
that the utmost freedom of ex-
pression and discussion must
be tolerated; otherwise it
would not be a free democracy.
Our nation is based upon the
free will of the whole Ameri-
can people, not upon the will
and beliefs of a few, If at any
time an overwhelming major-
ity of the people should be con-
verted to a different idea of
the nature and rights of gov-
ernment than the one under
which we now operate, they
have the right and the power*
to change our system.
They will never do that so
long as public opinion insists
upon the preservation of our
ancient ideals and beliefs and
sees to it that our government
truly reflects those basic stand-
ards.
England, the oldest demo-
cracy in the world, under-
stands that. At Hyde Park
Comer any Sunday one may
hear soapbox orators denounc-
ing the King, praising Stalin
and glorifying Hitler, while
amiling "bobbies” keep the
crowd from throwing brickbats
at the speakers, like dynamite,
false ideas are dangerous only
when suppressed.
Bat IPs Better Than Jazz
“The playing of fine music
during meals amid a clatter of
plates is almost an insult to
the art.”—Sir Hugh Allen.
In Europe they grab the of-
fices first and hold the election*
afterward. — Wheeling News-
Register.
SPRING
’Tis the time of year our thoughts,—turn to wide
open spaces,
And we think in term* of can—picnics and—
going place*—
And naturally that calls for food, the kind, that
makes a tench—
Hers’* where my—service—come? in—now get
this—its a hunch.”
I can fill your want*—in outing eats—with just
what your heart desires—
With the different kinds of good cold meats—
also big fat friers—
With cheese and spreads and everything to make
a picnic table shine—
You can get just anything you want by calling
Number Nine!

Give Dirigibles a Chance
Perhaps it Is just as well that
the proposed sale of helium
gas from American sources to
the German Zeppelin com-
pany ha* been halted by Fed-
eral officials who are not con-
vinced that Germany would
not use its new airship for mil-
itary purposes.
It seems too bad, however,
thst Congress is unwilling to
appropriate money for the'fur-
ther development of rigid air-
ships by our own Navy. If the
Germany can build and oper-
ate them successfully, certain-
ly Americans can.
With non-inflammable
helium as their lifting power,
aircraft of the Zeppelin type
might easily prove to be the
safest and most economical
vehicle of air navigation. It
wound be worth while to give
them a fair trial, anyway.
Reasonable People*
After all, in many respects,
man is the dumbest animal
that God ereaied. He has
profited little from 6,000
years of experience. He has yet
to learn that brutal force is
impotent to solve the problems
of this old world. World states-
men yet living who participat-
ed in the forging of the Ver-
sailles Peace Treaty probably
realize now how impotent is
force. Mussolini will realize
it before his legions pacify the
barefooted Ethiopians. Hitler
will realize it, if he continues
his present policy. The war
lords of Nippon will realize it,
if and when Japanese pagan-
’sm clashes with Western
ririiization. Man is indeed a
dumb creature.—TTarpfr Her-

ances of mine decided to rear-

He was a loyal little fellow
and he wouldn’t let anything
said against his parents go un-

“Listen to your father snor-

“Dad isn’t snoring," was the
indignant reply. “He’s dream-
ing about a dog, and that’s the
dog growlin'.”—Ep worth Her-

Two farmers met in town a

the countryside,
“Yes, it did a lot of queer
tricks, out our way,” declared
one reflectively. "By the way,
Hank, was that new barn of
youre injured any?”
The other shifted his hat.
“I can’t rightly say,” he an-
swered. “I ain’t found it yet.”
