AMERICAN REVOLUTIONISTS
WERE NOT PACIFISTS

The American heroes who met at
Philadelphia to adopt the Declara-
ton of independence were not paci-
fists, and had they been no United
States of America would have aris-
en-, according to George B. Lockwood
who deals with the subject of "Pa-
cifism and Patriotism" editorially in
the current issue of the National
Republic. Without warriors in by
gone days there would be no Chris
ton civilization now, according to
Mr.. Lockwood who says:
"The men who at Philadelphia
one hundred and fifty years ago
gave to the world the declaration
Of Independence and to the winds
The flag of a new nation, were not
pacifsts. They stood ready to back
words with deeds.
IF it had been otherwise, Ameri-
ca would still have been colonial
Europe, involved in every war which
mas disturbed the old world during
that century and half. Because they
preferred war to submission to in
l juOl4SCB luS44 pOoNO44ly helo CoNopSA
4 hundred useless wars.
THE pacifist is not the true friend
Of peace. The nOnresistance of right
means the triumph of wrong; and
the triumph of wrong means the
reign of might always at war with
right.
THE great men who signed the
Declaration knew that it meant war.
! They knew that if war went against
them their own necks would be in
the moose. Patrick Henry expressed
their spirit: rs life so dear, or peace
so sweet as to be purchased at the
price of chains or slavery? Forbid it,
Almighty God!"
"Pacifism, nOn-preparedness for
national defense, the right and duty
of the citizen to refuse to partici-
pate even in war waged in defense
of the republic, is seriously preached
/ in the name of Christianity. YET
but for warriors like Charles Mar
tel, John Sobieski and King Ferdi-
nand there would today be no
Christianity; the sway of the hordes
of Mohammed over Europe would
centuries ago have been complete.
"Puritans and Cavaliers came to
America sword in hand. They dwell
always within the shadow of war
determination would have been the
penalty of non-resistance. Pacitism
: in the face of aggression of savagcs
would not have prevented war, but
it would have made certain that war
would have wiped them out.
"The men of rs were ready to
fight for the existence of a new
nation, conceived in liberty and ded-
icated to the proposition that all men
are created equal" before the law
To that fight they pledged their
lives, their fortunes and their sacred
honor"

OBERCO, ORGANIC, MINERAL
COMBINATION FOR FEEDERS
AND MIXERS!!

This new product of G. Ober &
Sons Co., is purely a mineral com
bination and does not contain Pro
tein. 1t has been shown that GER
tain quantities of organic minerals
are necessary to maintain healthy
cattle and fowls, if heavy milk and
egg production is to be expected OF
them. This mineral mixture helps
to replace in their bodies, what the
strain of heavy production depletes
1t is also very good for hogs and
all young and growing stock. This
product is not expensive and should
be used by all mixers and feeders.

Tex Richard and

On Uncertain Terms

New York, Feb. 3-(AP)--A rift
that is steadily widening with Tex
Richard on one side of the gap and
the New York state athletic commits
sion on the other is apparent to box
ing observers.
The Madison Square Garden pro-
motor paid $4,000 for a modern
ventilating system which would per-
nit of smoking in his new arena
without interference with boxers, but
the commission ruled that there
would be no smoking, that rule APP
plying to all boxing clubs under its
Jurisdiction. Several times Richard
is reported to have been in communf-
cation with Jack Dempsey's manager,
Jack Kearns, in regard to cham
pionship match and as Dempsey is
III bad grace with the commission
these reports have not helped mat
tiers. Yesterday the commission ask
ed Richard point blank if reports
