ATTORNEY COMBS
TALKSPATRl0TISM

Attorney Lee Combs, of this city,
spoke at Jamestown on July Fourth
and gave the people fine address.
Among other thing he said was:
"Attorney Combs spoke of the accas-
ion as the celebration of the natal
day of free nation and stated that
the significance of the day was great
indeed. Referring to the Declara-
ton of Independence that had been
signed just 142 years previously, he
stated that when the 10 colonies
made the declaration they staked and
risked not only their fortunes, but
their lives as we'll, for had they been
unsuccessful they would have been
dealt with as traitors. He extolled
the courage Of men who had dared
to proclaim their principles in the
face of such fearful odds.
The speaker made comparison of
the autocratic and democratic forms
of government, and added: "Fol-
lowing the promptings and pleadings
of Providence, we have worked out
destiny to be in the foremost ranks
of the peoples Of the earth, with our
sole purpose to make this world a
decent place in which to live. We
have the duty to throttle to death
the despotism which seeks to destroy
the effort of God himself to work
out through this people in America
the form and substance of a free peo-
ple."
Mr. Combs asserted that forty mil
lion men had been put into uniform
during the present war, and that
twenty million of them were now
hors de combat And the tremend-
Gus number involved or to be involv-
ed in the struggle is more than justi-
fled, he stated, by the greatness Of
the issue, which is one between des-
potism and liberty.
We must prevent the people of
Germany from retaining such power
that they will ever again be able to
plunge this world into such war,
he stated, and we will see it through
If we have to do it alone. We have
now put into Europe over one million
men and in another year we will be
able to place two million more be-
side them. The speaker then went
so far as to state that all Europe and
Asia could not successfully confront
such an arm as we could rails.
Attorney Combs spoke in apprecia-
ton Of the efforts that have been put
forth in this country in the way of
food conservation, and declared that
we would win the war no matter
what food sacrifices would have to be
made. Referring to anti-war senti-
ment the speaker said that to deal
with sedition, we must use wisdom,
patience, caution and the fair spirit
that the American people alone pos
sess in the fullest measure.
AS the final goal of our efforts the
speaker declared that we did not de-
sire victory that would satisfy our
own desires in every particular, but
one that in the wisdom of the AL
mighty would give to the world the
blessing of freedom,
