Try room followed the banquet and
addresses.
DR.. Lppincott in his address stat
ed that ne would urge the people
not only 20 continue 10 Doe loyal To
the country, but TO bee more loyal
than they have been before "Our
country" he said, "has greater OPP
pOrtunities than ever before and at
the termination of this great con-
dict across the ocean il viii even
have greater opportunities 10 be-
come the model country after which
all other countries VIII pattern.
The ideals OF the warning ma
tions are not Christian ideals as
are ours. but selfish ones, they seem
to be seeking only financial gain.
Urges Loyalty.
I'VE should be proud or the fact
that we are living under the stars
and stripes. under the best and
greatest flag OF all nations the one
Of many that has proven that war
can be avoided If the selfish motives
are eliminated from our ideas. SIN
We are not past the point where
we are safe from the roar of the
cannon and Christian WORK must be
done. not only by the heads ana
individuals themselves. We should
not be Germans. Hungariaus, Polish
or French or whatever our native
country might have been, but we an
should be Americans and reprcsen-
tatives of the worlds greatest cOuu-
try.
The question of preparedness is T
surely the one great one Of the day.
some say that if we prepare for war
we will be sure TO want TO use that
which we have prepared, and others
say that by preparing for war we
are only placing ourselves i'm a posi-
ton to preserve the peace, but we
all are convinced that without pro-
tectior we are endanBering our
selves 20 a great extent as we are
helpless without means of self
protection.
Defends the Lawyers.
do not condemn the lawyers as
body" said judge Farabaugh. "tut
II you are sure that YOU have some
one that has done wroug. condemn
him and condemn him hard, but
first be sure that he was wrong and
not only appeared wrons Too Of
ten is the lawyer thought OF as a
dishonest person and the law as
only "a means of rich men winning
over poor ones, bUt an this is found
ed on the same basis th1t the miu-
istry is often spoken of as being
unreliable because some one minis
ter has fallen.
Even taking the fact as truth
that the rich man usually wins
case or gets continuance thro. n
various courts, there is a very good
explanation. The criminal that
blows safe or robs man OF his
watch and money is doiu- some
thing that is plainly "a criminal act
and any jury OF u men viii find
him guilt The case of the U.,-
man is different lit usually per
tains TO some graft or scheme which
has been worked out by skilled
brains He usually knows the law
and knows how far me can go with-
out breaking it, he Will carry his
business on mp as far cas- possible
towards the point where he is con-
sidered breaking the law. His case
Is then taken 20 court and 10 is
very difficult for the jury 10 nnd
him guilty or not Iuity US he has
skiuruuy worked out his various
steps. Time is taken for the truth
TO come out. but ina the case of the
criminal he has not played his game
in a way that q Ions procedure is
necessary to determine MS guilt
