1.-THE SLEEK" COMING

What promises to prove one of the reigning sensations of the current screen season "The Sheik", remark able Paramount picture, will be shown at the Mahaiwe Theatre, Ct.

STILL FLYING

We can almost hear some of our brother editors ask why we continue to display Old Glory at the head of our editorial columns, now that the war IS over an won; now that we are technically at peace with all our enemies; now that the arms confer ence is concluded and the futility of war generally acknowledged through out the world. Perhaps some of our readers have also asked this queg- tion, therefore we elucidate.
 IT. our estimation a country as good as ouPs, or even if it is not so good, deserves the loyalty of every individual citizen, not only during a war or other crisis, but in peace as well. Countless numbers will rush to the aid of their country in distress, but does any one know how many of these same people assume the mask of lounge lizards or parlor bolshe- vists when the war is over and the trying days of reconstruction are nigh? Do they realize that captiOAs criticism of the government r those who represent the government, in times of peace is equally as dlsloyaI to our country as during a crisis?

THE POST MASTER

Speculation is rife as to who will be the next post master. We are unable to throw any light on the sub ject at present, though we wish we could for the sake of all concerned. As republicans we naturally would like to see a republican Post Master, but the practice of passing out Post Masterships as- political plums is to be deprecated nevertheless.
 The Poster Mastership at the local Post Office is an instance of the kind which we wish to cite. It is no different than others all over the country, but we will use it because it will assist those concerned to better visualize the situation.
 To be eligible for the position a man must necessarily have somewhat of business training; must be an organizer; diplomat and he must be youthful enough to keep things mov- inging at fast pace. The man may come from lowly or an exalted position, but after he has put in eight or more years as an employe of Uncle Sam and a servant of the public, it will be hard for him to start anew in another business. Should he be sufficiently strong poli- tically, he may obtain another more or less desirable plum, but the chances are strongly in favor of his returning to civil life.
 In even the 'soulless" corporations faithful service is not rewarded by enforced retirement without pay. In political life it should not be. Even though every man knows that when he takes similar position, his time may be limited to four or eight years service; even though he is paid in full for the work to his own satis- faction, it takes more than money to pay for faithfulness and loyalty.

 Let them laugh, for you've got some idea as to the size of this fish. You are wondering whether you should request them to enlarge the hole and other things similar, when with a flourish you land him on the ice amid the excla1nations of your friends. What bass! Five pounds at least! So the day wears on and it is time to pick up and go home.
 The next day creaking joints, sore muscles and bruised spots are con- stant reminders that you were fishing through the ice. But the delights of the trip fully compensate for these, while the days outing has resulted in broader view of life and sent the blood tingling through your veins as in the days of youth.

WONDERFUL IS HUMAN MIND
Man Believes What He Wants to Be- IieVe, and Then Finds Reasons to
 Confirm Convictions.

A wonderfully curious organ Is the human mind, never-failing source Of humor-that is, the minds of other people. And that is part of the hu- nor. If I kill you, it's all right" Leech made one of his Punch charac- ters say to another; but if you kill me, by Jove,. it's murder"
 We clearly see the defects in the reasoning of acquaintances. Our friends, of course, are more logical, but that Is because they are our friends. Or, rather, they are our friends because they reason as they do. Their opinions have drawn us to them. They agree with us.
 And this agreement is evidence of the correctness of our own beliefs. It proves our ability to interpret condi- tions and to draw conclusions, or 1t would were proof of such self-evident fact necessary. The agreement of our friends shows that we are free from the mental weaknesses of them who do not agree with our views.
 It also proves the intelligence of our dSSO(ldlCS. Allu hS hOuid hoI ldNO unintelligent friends. That is our req son for choosing them, or, rather, the reason why our opinions choose them. We think that we select our friends, but this is one Of the human delusions. Our opinions are the se- Iective force. This is a phase of our r defensive social behavior. It preserves our good opinion of ourselves.
 We believe what we want to believe and then find reason to confirm our convictions. Of course, we do not de- lfberately seek arguments for views which we already hold. Usually, we are not even aware that our opinions are fixed, so subtly have they gained the mastery. ..H / J. .".
 We think that we are open-minded seekers after truth But business and social interests have determined our views and we are really trying to jus tify them so as not to think Ill of our selves. Self-esteem Is even more im- portant psycho1ogfcally than the es- teem of others. And this human cray ing for self-justification by argument sets in motion the defensive neutral mechanism which gives the mental cor relate, defensive thinking. We must justify ourselves to ourselves.-Edgar James Swift, In Scribner's.

The voice of the conscience of the nation speaks in the work of this author. In "A Man for the Ages" his great nara tive of the growth of democracy in which Abraham Lincoln is the chief character he has written his best and biggest, most compelling novel, wonderful theme in which others might have failed, MT. Bach eller has succeeded because of his famil- iarity with the fundamentals of American nfe-American life as 1t is exemplified by the makers of America. It is the most appealing picture of Lincoln and of the times beginning somewhat before the middle of the last century and extending to about 1860, that has ever been penned Aside from Its interest as a novel and. Its value as a document of Americanism, 1t is a distinct contribution to literature em- bodying human nature and human inter est.
