Minute Men of the Constitution United in
Common Bond of Patriotism
By BRIG. GEN. JOHN V. CLINNIN, Retired.

Hell and Maria Dawes has struck the keynote in proposing a real
American organization in which all classes, colors, and ereeds may join
II support Of the Constitution.
Il Is a mistake for US TO think that radiclism in the United States
is merely the evidence Of a form of unrest which neither grows nor I'M
presses. As a matter of fact, socialism and radcaism are carefully de-
yelopei and promoted by a great organization. Soviet Russia, the land
Of darkness and lliteracy, has agents working with little restraint In an
educational campaign, which is even carried into our schools and colleges.
The time has come when We must meet organization by counter
organization. We have some in America who assume to meet the problem
BY intolerance. Their objective is lost in the hatred and dstrust engen-
dered.
Let US be Minute Men of the Constitution united by the common
bond Of patriotism. Let US again dedicate our lives, regardless of line
of descent, creed, color or party, to unfolding the government of the
United States of America.
L should be emphasized that in our free land, with its laws made
by the people and for the people, there is no place for so-caned class con-
sciousness, and that We will tolerate no government by classes.

Propaganda Is the Weapon and Every Citizer
Is a ~Battleground'
By MARY ROBERTS RINEHART, American Writer.

- IS time to sit down calmly and do a little straight thinking, not Il
go back 70 our pre-war etha<gy, but to realize that a great and rich
territory, peopled by a thoughtful and patriotic ctzenry, cannot &c
far wrong.
When we cease to pull together toward the definite ends of life, lib
ery and the pursuit of happiness, we are open to the attack of every
demagogue who chooses TO assume the attitude of leadership New theories
spring up. untried and revolutionary. and find their following among this
seething mass. Prejudiees, class hatreds, even religious differences, are
deliberately being used to increase our confusion. The normal uneasiness
of a people recovering from a great war is being fomented into bitterness
and discomfort.
The dangerous theory that any change is progress is abroad in the
land.
So we find ourselves between two opposing forces, the hands that
would pull us apart and those that would hold us together. Small wonder
that the advocates of this latter course are called reactionaries and stand
patters. They must pull hard against the opposing strain.
And for the mass of the people in between, what?
leadership of small, organized minorites. The other is to make its deei-
sons for itself. To go back to its Constitution, under which we have
lived and prospered for almost a hundred and fifty years. To rouse itself
from its hysera or its ~lethargy, and think for it-ef. To suspect all
demagogues and all untned theories. To fear all attacks on its Con-
shtution and its organized forces of law and order. And to realize the
difference between the leadership of the demagogue and that of the states
man, remembering this: that it is easier to tear down than to build up
No nation 50 rich as America can hope to be immune from those who
would possess her. Her size and her location prevent her being captured
BY war. but she may be stolen from Us in other ways.
The attacks that are being made on her solidarity are being made
through the minds and emotions Of her people. This is a curious war
flTe. one Of brain against brain, emotion against emotion. Propaganda
is the weapon and every citizen a battle-ground!

ORIGIN OF GOLD NUGGETS
United States Geologist Says Finding
of Huge Pebbles Does Not indi-
cate Large Vein.

In a rugged, out-of-the-way region
on the ocean side of the Coast ranges,
In Monterey county, California, gold
nuggets have been found of such size
as to suggest that this was once a
favorite retreat of the proverbial
goose that laid the golden eggs. Mat
ter-of-fact prospectors, however, have
sought to find the veins from which
such masses of gold, loosened by the
weather, were washed into the stream
beds. Their search has not been sue
c~essful, and j. NJ. Hill. a United States
g%eologist of the Department of the In
terror, in a report just published, sug-
gests that the nuggets came from rich
superficial pockets in very small veins,
and that no large and rich deposits are
likely to be found by deep mining.
The Coast ranges of California, unlike
the Sierra Nevada, are not rich in gold,
and the occurrence of these large mug
gets does not necessarily indicate the
existence of a rich deposit of gold ore.
