WIDER ROADS FOR MORE CARS

The American Research Founda-
ton finds that it is becoming a
pressing necessity to widen the ar
terial highways. especially near
large cities. In a few years, 1t de-
clares, we will have 100000 cars
and its bulletin adds:
''It is estimated that good Dads
now save the highway users $3.50
600 900 a year. Motorists pay the
bulk of road building expenses, but
probably profit the least by it, Land
values have been enormously in
creased by highways, the benefits
extending to farmers in remote sec
tions. With the growth of our
cities more aud wider highways in
thei1 vicinity are a vital necessity,
not Only for passenger traffic but
to facilitated the transportation Of
food and supplies into the popu-
lation %centers."

FEAR
BY THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois

uTF IT is a fear you would dispel,"
4 KahliI Gibran says in '"The
Prophet, "the seat of that fear is IN
feared. And IL it is a care you would
cast off, hat care has been chosen by
you rather than imposed upon you"
Most of our fears and most of Dur
cares are imagined, are conceived and
kept alive in our own ~imaginations.
Mrs. Gibbons has a deadly fear of
snakes. She has never known anyone
who was in the slightest degree in
jured by a snake, she has never her.
self come into dangerous contact witt
snakes. All the snakes which she
has ever met, with one exception have
been perfectly harmless and have run
away as fast as their supple bodies
would permit. And the RATHER which
she did see was disposed of before
1t could make any threatening move
ment. And yet she never goes to the
woods or to a new environment with
out inquiring about snakes, looking
for snakes. attempting TO run n down
and showing almost disappointment If
she does not find one. Even a dead
snake six inches long lying in the
roadway and fiattened almost to q
wafer by passing cars causes her to
shrek and run as If she were pursued
by a pack of ravenous wolves. The
fear is entirely in her mind.
Simmons is afraid Of fire. He is
sixty years old and has never yet been
able to realize the cause of his fear.
His house is carefully built and prop
erly wired and so has never been

few splinters of ~kindling to facilitate
matters. but Simmons is not satisfied
with this explanation. He makes a
pilgrimage from cellar to garnet In an
eager attempt to prove that his fear
is not grOundless. He makes himself
6aily miserable in his constant search
for fire.
Mrs. Jamison's obsesslon is burglars.
She has been looking for a burglar
ever since she was a young girl. She

ment to wage united against the Workers
Republic.
More than century and half since British
power broken in the American colonies see
the giant imperialism that from those disunited
states again challenging the power of the British
empire, this time not to throw off foreign yoke
but to contest for world commercial and political
supremacy. In the coming struggle in the revou-
tonary war, the workers will be the pawns. They
will be asked to fight for their" country, but in
reality for the Morgans Rockefeers and MELONS.
On this holiday, when the patriotic gas of bour-
geois oratory will polute the air with its poison, the
workers of this country should pledge themselves to
fight against imperalist wars, to oppose the inn
perialistic policies of Wall Street, to defend the
Soviet Union against attack to rally to the defense
of the Chinese masses who shedding their
hearts blood in defense of the right to be masters
in their own land and to free themselves from the
thralldom of foreign expoiter and the native mill
tarist, to organize politically thru Labor

According to Charles Stedman in his. "The His
tory of the Origin, Progress and Termination of the
American War;" are told that Hancock cared
little for legal forms but unhesitatingy used what
ever methods seemed most feasible to him. A. NJ.
Simons in his Social Forces in American History
says, when his (Hancocks) sloop Liberty, was
endeavoring to run the customs, he first tried to
bride the officials and this falling locked up the
guard in cabin and unloaded the sloop under the
protection of gang of thugs secured for the oc-
casion."
There is no intention here to cast the slightest
reflection Hancock's moral character. He was
fighting for his class interests and was JUS
titled in employing whatever methods seemed most
suited to the purpose he had in view. But ISL years
after the publication of the Declaration of indie
pendence the government which has the declaration
preamble to its constitution, is busily engaged
framing laws to strangle the development of the
power of the workingcfass and perfecting the nee
essary suppressive machinery to keep the workers
in subsection, not even stopping at the contempla-
ton of legalized murder, in the Sacco and Van
zetti case.
One hundred and fifty-one years after the Amer
lean coonists adopted their charter of liberty which
meant liberty only for the owing class minority Of
the population, this government is preparing a
colossal program of imperalist development with
its eorollary: gigantic naval and military pro

revolution unaccompanied by violence is not on
record, heaTken back to the Boston Tea Party and
to the activities of the dgnified smuggier John
Hancock who was elected president of the Contin-
entail Congress in 1775 and the first governor of
Massachusetts.
Hancock whose name now graces the letterhead
of big insurance company ''the prince of con-
traband traders according to Lalors "Encyclo-
pedia of Political and Social Science and with John
Adams as his counsel, appointed for trial be-
fore the admiralty court in Boston, at the exact
hour of the shedding of blood in Lexington in
suit for 100000 penalties alleged to have been in
Cured by him a smuggler.'
All honor to Hancock for his lack of scruples in
dealing with the foreign tyrant but there is
noticeable absence of euogy of this side of his
character in the patriotic effusions that tear the
atmosphere on the national holiday.
Today, when every bawdy capitalist rag in the
country uses columns of space exposing the Com
munist disregard for the nceties of capitalist
stitutionalsm, it is in place to point out and to
prove to the American workngcass that the men
who led the revolution that eliminated in the ex-
pulsion of Great Britain from the colonies did not
hesitate to use every available method to accom-
plish their purpose.
Smuggling today is considered an unpatrietic avo-
cation in the United States, but to the men who
established the bourgeois government known the
United States, smuggling highly patriotic
business, in the days before British power was
broken in the colonies. 1t was revolutionary wea-

THEN AND NOW

Pioneers Of Hmerico
and Farmers Children

On July d. 1916, small group of men, including
such famous fighters for liberty as Thomas Jeffer
son, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin and John
Adams met at Independence Hall in Philadelphia
and drew up famous document 1t was called the
Declaration of Independence. This document de-
clared that all were created equal 1t also said
THAT whenever any form of government becomes
destructive, it is the right of the people to alter
or to ABOLISH it and to institute a new govern
ment" And these men of 1776 did not only talk
of freedom but, with the help of the workers and
farmers, also fought for it until they drove their
oppressors 1.-THE British bosses) from off the Amer
lean soil
One hundred and fifty-one years have passed.
Many things have changed The Thomas Jeffersons
the John Hancocks and the other fighters for lib
erty have died long time ago. Trade and COM
merce that was just baby in iT76 became giant
In 1927 And with this great change there was also
created great change among the American people.
A small group of bosses, thru robbery and other
means became the owners of almost everything The
big mass of people became the slaves of the bosses
and owned nothing. And that is not ALL The rich
bosses controlled the government thru bribery and
forced the American people into many wars such as
the World War, where thousands of workers and
poor farmers were killed and wounded And this was
done to make more money for the BOSSES
In Central America, in a little country called
Nicaragua, the workers and farmers revolted
against the tyrantS who oppressed them Just like
the Americans did in 1776 What did the American
government do? Why, they sent many battleships
and soldiers to put down this revolt and to protect
the property of the American bosses in that coun-
try The same thing is being done in China,
where the people fighting for freedom This is
what America has come to. IF Thomas jefferson
were alive today he would say, NEW is the time to
put the Declaration Of Independence into effect since
our government no longer serves us, we must abol-
ish it," What do you sayr
