GEORGE WASHINGTON
WAS GODS GIFT TO
WESTERN LIBERTY

have been fought triumphantly; he
had but a small force, poorly
equipped and scarcely drilled and
his strategy was to enlist time as an
ally, to- prolong the agony until the
far away English government grew
tired. until the people of England
demanded peace.
And so he wore them out, fighting
, when he could with hopes of results
equal to the effort, fighting when
he had to fight to keep alive the
spirit of the colonies.
II
And while he was bearing a bur-
den and a responsibility which none
could share, he was maliciously lied
about, he was plotted against cru
ely by those who wore the uniform
of the revolution, but through it
all he was patient and untiring,
he was too loyal to the grand OBJ
jective - independence-to permit
anything on earth to divert his pur-
pose or blot out his vision of an
independent nation.
And when all others had given
up hope, he saved the revolution
by crossing the Delaware and rescu-
ing Liberty when the British
thought the struggle was over.
y #
Through it all he served, not only
without compensation, but in the
most hopeless hour he advanced
$4,000 from his own private funds
to carry on the fight.
Then in the presidency he con-
tir1ued to fight for independence
against those who would have had
us align ourselves with France and
those who would have had us align
ourselves with England.
He was the gift of God to western
liberty.

After a joint has been fixed in

In such cases movement should

ening of the tissues and relaxation
of the stiffness.
In older persons the effects of
sprains are more serious than in
the young, since there is a ten
dency to greater inflammation, more
rigidity and fixation, and less ease
of movement after the disappear
ance of the active swelling.
Thus older people must be much
more careful than are the young
about the amount of time taken for
recovery and the care given to Sc
cure good movment of the joint

BECAUSE Washington's birthday
D was celebrated all over the
land. we are disposed to think this
national love always was so, which
is not true.
His life was far from being bed
of roses and his career was crowded
with bitterness, intrigue and tur-
MOL.
In peace and in war his service
was priceless and unself1sh, yet
when he finally put down the cares
of state to retire to his beloved MT.
Vernon, he was pursued by the
malice of his enemies.
II
More than any other American,
Washington was indispensable and
there were dark hours during the
ragged, hungry struggle of his Con-
tinental army when the flag would
have been furled and the dream OF
independence abandoned, but for
the unyielding heart of the great
Virginian.
When others despaired, he drew
his firm resolve tighter still and
England would. have triumphed only
over his body.
Il Il
It was easy and painless for the
masses of the colonies to rebel
against English authority, for they
had the small affection common
people have for royal rulers; they
had no intimate relations with the
kings government or his officers.
With Washington, it was differ
ent; he had close contact with aris-
tocrats and royal governors; his
estate was a social mecca; his
friends were rich and powerful.
Ordinarily, we would expect with
his interests and associations to
favor royalty and have small pa

At Clark's Shrine

Today the members of the legislature jour-
ney to Vincennes to join in national tribute
to one of the heroes of history-a man OF cour-
age, imagination, daring and honesty.
When George Rogers Clark obtained his
commission to invade vast wilderness and
drive out tyranny as then represented by the
British flag and to install in its stead the BAN
ner of freedom and sefgovernment, he wrote
his name among the national eternals.
Probably many men of his day called him
fool for undertaking so adventurous prof.
eet. Their names have been forgotten. His lin
gers in memory, made immortal in stone.
What the members Of the legislature tLlnk
Of Clark is not very important, either to Clark
or to the state More interesting would be
message Of Clark giving his estimate of the
present legislature-and perhaps of the worth
whileness of his own venture in the light of
history
What would Clark think Of legislature
which ignores plea from the Governor OF the
state to increase the statute of limitations on
crimes of peace time treason for crooked
officials?
What would Clark think of a legislature
whose whole thought seems to be ON making
fraud in elections easy and honest count OF
votes more difficult?
What would Clark think of a legislature
which dares not confront the facts OF admin
istration, which dares not probe into the whole
story of the building of armories, OF the con-
struction of roads, of the conduct OF state IN
situations?
What would Clark think of the empire he
rescued from monarch Pc hitting itself to be
ruled by boss whose~o1dy title to power is
his ability to control crooked elections and
serve the powers of privileged interests and
protected crime?
What answer would Clark make to the men
who died in his battles, who starved IN his
forced marches, who followed with zeal his
leadership, were his army today encamped
again in old Vincennes and able to estimate the
happenings that have led to such conditions
Would he not plead with these legislators to
hasten back to the capitol and make the self
government which he established reality and
not phraseg
Would he not adiure them to remember that
this nation and every state in this nation IS
dedicated to liberty and against tyranny OF
every sort?
Would he not remind them that kings and
bosses are but different words and that both
are detestable.
The people revere the history of Clark as
great and glorious Gould he say the same
about history as it is being made todaya

surrounding tissues so that tearing
has occurred and fluid of blood gets

In some instances the movement
is so severe that it will fracture a
bone to which the ligament is at

For this reason whenever there is
the slightest doubt as to the severity
of the sprain, the modern physician
asks for an x-ray picture, since the
presence of fracture makes necessary
much more rigorus treatment than
is given to the mere stretching and
tearing of the ligament.

Custom of the Country

TODAY no man may serve upon
u a Jury if he has ever had the
slightest contact with the defend
ant, which seems to me a peryerse
Interpretation Of the jury system.
Also the request is often made for
change of venue. For this can see
no justification. People should be
tried according to the moral stand
ards and habits which prevail in
their own vicinity.
We are not moving toward the
newer theory that crime must be
handled in somewhat the same man
ner as disease. Instead, all law
making bodies are bent upon pun
ishment. At the present pace wes
shall have the death penalty for
Volstead violations within a few
years. Several dry legislators have
already advocated the return of the
whipping POST.
Against this reign OF terror our
first line of defense must be much
the same as that which stood firm in
the days when English courts were
legalized sfambles.
Human rights exist which are
more ancient than any established
In constitutions.
It is up to the American jury te
stand firm in the face of judicial in
| functions and decide not only the
facts but the more important ques-
ton, rs this particular law fair
and reasonable in this particular
case?"

Conflicts Coming

MYTH the passage OF the Jones
w bill we are likely to see this
battle waged on an even more ex-
tensive scale. This is the measure
which provides a maximum penalty
Of five years in Jail or $4,000 fine,
or both, for prohibition violations.
There are many parts Of the
United States where such provisions
will seem to the community grossly
excessive, and I hope that juries
will manfully exercise their peroga-
tive by refusing to convict.
The senate itself has practically
conceded the right Of community
veto by adding to the law the pro-
vision, provided that it is the in
tent of congress that the court in
imposing sentence hereunder should
discriminate between casual and
slight violations and habitual sales
of Intoxicating liquors or attempts to
commercialize violations of the
law"
Casual and slight" are not easy
words to define. The senate is
opening a new field for judge-mads
law of which we have too mucn al
ready.
Unfortunately, one admirable as
pect of the ancient jury system has
been allowed to lapse under our
practice. In its original usage "a
jury of peers" meant group of the
defendants fellows.
It was sort of family gathering.
If Jake stole a pig, his neighbors
we're competent to pass upon the
importan question of whether Jake
was a one-pig-man or person like
ly to become a public nuisance by
reason of his habits.
If the twelve men happened to
know that Jake had been drinking
hard on account of some temporary
quarrel with his wife, they would be
likely to overlook the facts of the
pig stealing and say Not guilty"

of the strike of students at the Ma

Early today police reused % of the

and arrested them.
The trouble, which has been inter-
