More Danger From
Corruption Than From
The Horrors of War

The American public is being treat,
ed TO the various sensational pictures
Of what will hppen to the nation il it
fails TO arm heavily and Immediate,
As against them, Henry Ford feels
that "if this militaristic burden tpTe'
paredness) is assumed by the country
the United States in ten years will
be in turmoil, its industries paralyzed
and its men, instead of being at work
in peaceful industry. will be dying in
trenches. And I feel, too," he con.
tinues, that these men will not be dy-
ing t o defend their country, as we
are now being told, but will perish in
the conquest of other men who have
a right to live in happiness and
peace
Apparently there is no way out OF
our predicament. Clearly and fatty
we are damned if we do and damned
if we don't. We stand at a fork in
the road. To the right we r warn
ed of sure destruction. To the left
our chances are equally hopeless. We
cannot turn back. What shall we do?
At the moment Of mortal peril indi-
viduals are said to become possessed
of a flash of inspiration which be-
comes the means of saving life. We
have o yet arrived at such a mo-
ment. Yet there is a suggestion of a
parallel in the plight which has over
taken us in the imaginations of the
alarmists. We are entitled to a
flash" by which to rescue ourselves
from this double promise of blood and
perdition.
Let us base our flash upon com
mon sense and history. Let us rea-
son that so long as the reins of gov
eminent remain in the hands of the
people the United States can never
become engaged in a war of aggres-
siveness or conquest. Let us reason
that if the European alliances fight
each other to exhaustion and bank
ruptcy, which would supply them with
the motive to combine to plumber our
nation, they cannot succeed with their
bankruptcy and exhaustion in attack
ing us any more than they could sue
coed with it against each other.

and fall of empires. The great ma
tons of the past could have resisted
conquest had they not grown rotten
within. As long as our government
remains pure and virile and is not
given over to the pirates of CONNER
cial monopoly and political venality
there is no danger to be feared from
defensive armament. And as long as
the nation does not becomes effemin-
ate. self-sufficient and doctrinary it
will not offer it's breast to the assas-
sin.
There is just one Scilla and Charyb-
dis which looms in the path of this
free and fine republic. They are the
same rocks upon which the empires
of the past have been wrecked. They
are, combined in one, personal selfish
ness. This a be translated into a
myriad of forms-love of power, love
of luxury, vanity, smugness, neglect
of government, ~venality, malfeasance
and economic tyranny. But their
is one and the same. Were it
not for personal selfishness our re-
public reed never fear all the helmet
ed heads in Europe nor the most VIC
let assaults of militaristic or pacifistic
illogic.--St. Louis Dispatch.

The mystery of a lost schoolhouse was cleared up in Danielson Saturday 1nornlng-t5e mystery of a school house that for years stood over in the Mashentuck section and long served its purpose as the seat of early cui- ture for the children of the neighbor- ing district. For years the school has been closed. the building lonely and deserted. The consolidation of Kill ingly's schools and other causes con- tributed to end its period of useful ness.

 The ordinary observer wouldn't give that much thought but it was rather interesting to Mr. Bliven. Saturday morning he came to Danielson pre- pnred to pay over the aforesaid s1O to the selectmen, provided they would produce the aforementioned school house. which he had bargained to purchase for that sum, his idea being to remove il to his place and convert it to use as an icehouse
 MT. Bliven set forth that the school house had disappeared. It was not stated that the schoolhouse failed to return when 1t was whistled for, but it certainly had done gone and hid it. self away from where 1t used to be. A conference of selectmen was hurriedly called. Incidentally, John iCulley. res- ident of the eastern section of the town, was also coralled and invited to a conference in the office of Prose- cutting. Attorney Arthur G. Bill
 Culley admitted he had removed the schoolhouse, but claimed that he felt he had g. right to do so, and asserted that he had .bargained for it's purchase for s5, from a member of the board oi selectfnen He admitted that he has not yet paid the $5.
