For the Good of
the Community

JEFFERSON county voters will be called upon
- next year to elect five members of the
county board of revenue, United States sena-
tor, representative in the lower house of Con-
gress from the Ninth district, presidential cleo
tors and few other officers The best interests
of the county, the state and the nation demand
that the best men possible be elected to these
Offices
This is not political column, but as business
and politics are intermingled in everyday life,
whatever is for the good of the county, state or
nation is for the good of the community. This
writer has no preference among the men who
may seek the Offices in so far as their PERSONAL
ties CO. But, like all others who have the well
fare of their country at heart he wants to see
honest and capable men in all offices, from the
lowest to the highest.
Jefferson county citizens who have not al
ready registered, now have the opportunity to
do So The registrar is at the courthouse for
few weeks Later on he will go into every pre-
cnct to facilitate registration.
There is no higher duty imposed upon citizen
than that of voting-votng for the men or set of
men best suited to serve, and to serve faithfully
and honestly. No higher duty could be imposed
upon any one.
In jefferson county there are probably $4,000
white men and only about 5000 were registered
prior to this month A few hundred have regis
tered since the books were opened few days
ago.
primary election year ago last August,
with complete state ticket, a representative IN
CONGRESS- and United States senator to be NOM
mated, approximately $4,000 votes were cast.
That was about so per cent of the total white
men of voting age in the county and two-thirds
of those that had taken the trouble to qualify.
The business and economic life of state or
nation cannot remain sound with only small
part Of the citizens taking part in it's affairs.
Business men have been the greatest absen-
tees from the election booths in the past and
they have also been about the loudest in con-
demning political conditions generally They
cry out against heavy taxation and oppressive
legislation and then refrain from participating
in the election of the men charged with the duty
of making and enforcing the laws
They have only themselves to blame for con-
ditions unless they exercise their full powers
and perform their full duty to their community
and their country in the matter of selecting Of
flee holders.
Office holders, as rule, are no better than the
voters who elect them. 1t is common knowledge
that the vicious element the radicals the op-
ponents OF good government, register and vote
in every election. They never miss the oppor-
tunity And the men they elect are going to DO
the things they want done.
So will the and the whose ideals
beyond the sodd things of e who oppose corruption and
radcam take the interest political matters that their duty to
their community and their country require the they elect will
higher will aside ambitions

am writing this letter as a pro-

I am not at all surprised to note that

their eye on the political indicator.
But what was so surprising to me as
we'll as other members of the A. E. F.
was the fact that the soldiers who
were denied the opportunity OF COM

were the ones together with their
friends who brought such pressure to

mendations,

believe that the terrible plague that
had scoraged the world for the past
four and one-half years had at least
made US less selfish and Jealous, but
II seems that those despisable traits
Of people are as much in evidence as
ever. Why not abolish all kinds Of
citations as we'll as other insignia
worn by our soldiers who have had
other foreign service. Is 1t not also
discrimination TO those who did not
come over here? This may seem q
little matter to cause the bitter com-
ment 1t has among the A. E. F.. but
II a person who had not run the
gauntlet of the sub peril and the
h%ardships after landing. besides be-
ing so far away from Gods country
and your loved one In that land Of
paradise could only conceive Of a
part of what 1t meant to the boys ov.
or here they most surely would not
think. Of denying the A. E. F. men
the small privilege Of wearing an
ensigma different from that worn
by those who saw home service only.
Let US at least permit those wonder
full line men retain their wound
stripes which they bought with their
blood. I would suggest that those
political spell binders still keep their
wise optics glued. IN the barometer
Of public opinions for 1t will show
unmistakable signs Of stormy wealth
or which will greatly inclose as the
men are returned to that promised

In closing l wish to state that I

STOOD FOR HUMAN LIBERTY
Jean jacques Rousseau Had Right
Conception of Conditions That
Made for Freedom.

Prof. Kenneth Colegrove of SYRIA
cuse university declares that w0rld de-
mocracy is the sole basis of world
peace. Writing in the Worlds Work
he says:
In the year 1918, when the ambassa-
doris Of the European powers were en-
gagged at the congress of Utrecht in
bringing to q close the War of the
Spanish Succession. the Able de Saint
Pierre was writing the final pages of
his little treatise called the project
for Perpetual Peace" He proposed
confederation Of the kings and princes
of Europe, with congress or diet Of
ambassadors where all disputes be-
tween the different states should be
settled by arbitration, and where gen.
eral rules should be adopted from time
to time for the purpose of promoting
the peace and welfare of each and
every arealm. Rousseau criticized the
abbe's plan, declaring it contained one
flaw, flaw which vitiated the other
wise noble plan. He believed that
confederation of European states
could never be formed so long as
kings and princes ruled. For the es-
sence of kingship was nothing else
than the passion to extend its domin-
and no plan of confederation, Rous-
seau was convinced, would ever be
able to quench the old fires of rivalry
and despotism. But even if general
alliance Of European monarcils were
possible, it was manifestly impossible
to guarantee princes against the revolt
of their people unless at the same time
subjects were given guaranty against
the tyranny of their rulers. In launch
ing this latter criticism against the
abbe's project the author of the $50
cial Contract foresaw the contingency
of the Holy Alliance of 1915, when the
autocrats Of Europe called the Indivis-
ible Trinity to witness that, as broth
ers of the same family, they would de-
fend the doctrine of the divine right of
kings against the contradiction of rev.
olution wherever it should appear.
Yet more trenchant was the criti-
cism Of Voltaire. "The peace mag
ined by the Able de Saint-Pierre," said
the philosopher of Fernay, "is a CHI
mera which could no more subsist be-
tween princes than between elephants
and rhinoceroses, or between wolves
and dogs. Carnivorous animals rush
- aa1-
The Project for Perpetual Peace" ac-
cording to Voltaire, was not absurd in
itself, but in the manner CT it's pro-
posal. There would always be wars
of ambition and conquest, until people
learned that it was only small num-
Der of generals and ministers who
profted thereby.
