Americas Future
BY "a WESTERNER"

The United States of tomorrow will be just what
Americans think today.
We are TO decide what wish it to be.
Upon decision will rest the future welfare of
civilized man.
To make wise decision must consider the
dangers which have confronted other nations and
pay particular attention to the dangers which con-
front us.
Is it not apparent that any nation which aims
merely at commercial supremacy is doomed to perish?
Does not any nation perish which strives only
for military naval supremacy?
Is not nation Of many million-her also
tion of many paupers?
If it is dangerous for commerce 10 be the aim
of the nation il is dangerous for it to be the aim Of
the individual.
When commerce is made the servant of the poo
pie and not the people the servant Of commerce, you
have normal nation with at least right to endure
To do this you must place commerce under gov
ernmental control.
When commerce is made the servant of the
people, the aim of the individual becomes physical.
mental and moral upft. And the aim of the in
dvidual becomes the aim of the nation.
nation with such an aim is what the United
States deserves to be. for only with such aim
the United States any other nation be noble free
and democratic.
We have evaded the truth long enough. If we
want to get out Of the mre of selfish individuasm
and lift the rest Of the civilized world with us. we
must do 1t now. To certain extent we sacrificed
individual interests for the Of freedom and
now that the great is won for Gods sake, let
us open our eyes to the truth and make ready in
thought and action for the nober and better America
of tomorrow.

SENATOR VIM. II. THOMPSON
IN LIBERAL LAST WEEK

United States Senator VIM. H.
Thompson spent several days in
Liberal last week the guest of friends
and looking after land interests here.
The Senator is not grieving over
his recent defeat, and seemed in the
best of spirits. He is so pleased with
the successful termination of the war
that it forms the topic of most of his
conversation.
Senator Thompson visited the
battlefelds of Europe, and is the
only American citizen to visit the
entire battle line. He not only visit
ed the scene of battle, but made aer-
oplane flights over the fields, and has
a wonderful store of information.
Sunday morning he gave a lecture
at the Christian church, exhibiting
relics picked up on the battle field.
He has many interesting curios, and
tells the story of the fighting and
trench life in a language that all can
understand.
The building was filled to capacity
although the meeting was unadver-
t;sed
