MEMORIAL DAY

Under the shadow OF war the
graves Of those who helped save the
country are decorated this year The
spirit is one not only OF remembrance
but OF looking ahead to perhaps
years of struggle and to the loss OF
many lives. The influence Of those
who once gave their all for the ma
ton is potent to inspire the people
of America in their great effort for
the establishment of world demo-
cracy and unless they do so accept
the motive of the past they will
fail in the burden of the coming
days.
Honor and glory surround the vet
erans, honor and glory shall remain
with our army-but back of the
army must be the desire for honor
and glory of united and patriotic
people.

WHERE DO YOU SIT?

Salina Union: Time was when it
was a sort of coveted honor to sit
down in front at church. Particular
ly devout people occupied the front
pews, and could be depended upon
to be in them when the service be-
gan. The back seats were the es-
rectal territory of the unregenerate,
and those hanging on the ragged
edge of conviction.
and the back seats are filled with
moving picture habitues. You can
tell a movie person now by the fact
that he prefers sitting on the back
seat He has become so accustomed
to choosing a back seat that he can
not urge his physical body up to-
ward the front. The most that can be
done is to take the seat that is emp
back AS the late COM
ers enter they must go farther and
farther front. There are always
some people of course whose duty
II is to be seated near the back of
A church, but there is no real rea-
son why sincere Christians should
not march boldly toward the front
Of the church when they enter, and
AXE their places where they can be
seen by the congregation. Can it
be possible that the moving picture
habit is responsible for all those
,aping front rows in churches these
lays? 1t would seem so.

TOO MANY ALLIES

Maybe there is such a thing as
too many allies. According to a
Washington authority within 4S
hours after Liberia declared war
on Germany the single diplomatic
and official representative Of that
country, the consul at Baltimore,
appeared at the treasury department
and demanded his share Of the loan.

ONE GOOD DEED

Congress last week did one good
deed-it defeated bill to add a
bunch of $125 a month clerks to
committees. 1t was stated that some
committees that have not met for
years have clerk at $25O0 as
sistant at $500 and janitor at
$1,000 but the additional clerks was
too much and the fight on them
won. Only Helvering and Shouse of

The folly of censorship on every
news item in this country, as asked
by the president, is evident from
the willingness of the papers to pre-
serve the nations welfare. Two
weeks ago the papers were notified
that the French mission would leave
the United States for home, and not
a newspaper printed an item OF the
event and the public was not aware
the party had left this country un-
til the news was given out that the
commission had arrived in it's home
country. That is the way American
newspapers keep the faith and the
only object OF a censorship is to
prevent publicity on public affairs

II is hardly fair for the big speak
ers of the administration to scold
the American people for not having
awaked earlier to the Importance of
the war. They were told on the
highest authority that we were "in
no possible danger" that prepared
ness advocates were ''unduly excit-
ed" and that we would be kept out
of the struggle. Now it appears from
the cave sf gloom at Washington,
that having waited until Russia is
disrupted. France is wearing out
and Great Britain is troubled, the
whole burden of the war is to be
ours If so, it is a serious situation
