"Watchman, What Of

Texas has q state literacy committee. Its mem
bers held q session in the city Of Fort Worth. These
are extracts from the proceedings as told by a special
correspondent who made most Of the gathering. Nat
w. Washer Of San Antonio is quoted as having said,
There are hundreds Of thousands Of people in this
country well armed and ready tomorrow to raise the
red flag" Henry @. Edwards of Tyler. a widely
known newspaper editor. IS quoted as having said.
that according to reliable information coming to him
the spread Of Red power in the southwest was ire
mendously greater than the man on the street had
any idea Of and intimated that the government was
secretly at work undermining this activity which was
being nurtured by the present economic situation"
Who wolid have thought that Soviet Russia had
moved acro1s the Atlantic and had taken possession,
secretly Of course. Of sections Of America including
the great south vest OF Texas and Oklahoma and
New Mexico.

men are thoroughly trained and ready at all times
for a call TO arms. There is a state ranger force

in all Of Texas 254 counties
Col. Washer and Edwards should quiet their fears
Of the coming Of a revolt OF the American reds. One
locust bird can out sing and make more noise than

America OF its few reds.
In the closing years Of the war A. Mitchell Palmer
was attorney general in the cabinet Of woodrow
Wilson. He had a most vivid imagination. He was
told there was to be a red uprising in the United
States. He swallowed the bait. Then what happen
cd? There was no uprising or the reds nor any EVIL
dence Of 4 red revolt. A Mitchell lost caste. He had
an ambition TO be president and the San Francisco
convention in 1920 tossed him in the ditch as bunk
material for the high office first filled by George
Washington.

NEW YORK, 22.-Since Sinclair
Red Lewis promises to remain

time. as winner Of the Nobel prize
for literature, / am tempted ia
contribute a few more paragraphs
concerning this young man and
his work.

Veto AK For Norris Muscle
Shoa Bill

Senator George w. Norris OF Nebraska is the au-
thor OF the Muscle Shoals bill which calls for gov
eminent operation. Rep. Reese, the spokesman Of
President Hoover in the house on the Muscle Shoas
legislation. predicts a presidential veto for the Norris
bill should 1t be approved BY the present congress.
There is a Hoover bill. a house bill. authorizing
disposal Of the project to private interests. Reese
was defeated for reelection b. a majority NJ $1,000.
Reese visited Washington and held a White House
conference with the president. Later in the dav the
lame duck gentleman said a presidential veto Of the
bill for government operation was certain and presi-
dental approval Of the house bill should it be substi-
tuted for the Norris bill and sent TO the desk Of the
chief executive.
Congress will begin TO grind in December. Norris
is close to the throne in the senate in a legislative
sense. He Is flushed with the line OF victory. Reese
is close to the throne in the house. He has tasted
the gall and wormwood Of defeat. Now how will the

May There Never Be Another
War

Gen John J. Pershing appeared as prophet Of
peace on Armistice day. His words should be pre-
served in the archives Of the nation:
May there never be another war. This is a day
Of haliowed memory. Twelve years have elapsed
since the ending Of the greatest war Of all times.
For America they have been years Of peace and
progress. II is we'll to recall on this day that these
benefits have come to the American people through
Valor and hsroism on soil that IS the richer for the
bleed they gave il. The dead comrades rest peace
fully. For the living there remains the obligation

lie was q soldier in wartime and he is a peace adj
vocate in p%eacetine. His words rang true.
The people arc weary Of war and anxious that
their governments shall settle their disputes IN courts
CO reason and righteousness rather than in the
blo-iy and hideous tribunals where cannon and
bayonet sit in Judgment. As a result Of the world
var four empires crumbled. twenty seven kings and
princes lost their crowns. We are proud that the
American revolution began the work Of the destruc-
ticn q kings and Kingdoms. In America we have
done away with kings who ruled on thrones. We
must see 10 10 that kings should not rule in boards Of
directors. We have done away with kings who
wore cold crowns Oh their heads. We must see to
20 that there do not grow up other kings who rule
with gold dollars in their pockets. We shall insist
that il the event or another wer wealth and in
dustry shaI be drafted as well as man power. If
human life is not too dear to be marched to the

are always potential in conflict
Indeed the closing words Of the president should
remind the reader that it pays for a nation to be
prepared for a conflict a. arms on land and sea. In

China has served notice on the nations OF the
earth that the question Of extraterritoriality is the
most important diplomatic issue now confronting the
national government Of the empire OF Confucius.
Why should Great Britain, the United States. France
and Japan demand foreign courts under the Chinese
flag for the trial Of Britishers, Americans, French
hen or Japanese.
Another Chinese demand is the restoration to that
nation Of complete tariff autonomy. Isn't the de-
mand a just one? Why should there be i%nterterri-
torial courts in China and why shouldn't the Chinese
be permitted TO make their own tariff laws?
China isn't a vassal. China is a nation Of 400 000.-
600 souls. China had a civilization thousands Of
years ago. China invented gun-powder and after its
invention the Chinese went to sleep and permitted
alien nations and aliens from all countries TO over
ride their empire. Now the Chinese worm has
turned and even a worm Is entitled to a place in the
shining sun.

morality that he had had before.
1t is very seldom that q man
comes up to the point of making q
great decision. and when that de-
cision has been made wrongly con-
tinues his life Just upon the moral
level where IL has been before.
Failure in a crisis creates a reac-
ton OF weakness and dependency.
When q man has failed to make
goodness the chief thing in his life.
the standards OF goodness newt
tably are lowered In relation to all
his outlook and action.
Conscience Is Powerful
The other alternative Is that
while the young man went away
deeply sorrowtul. unable to make
that crucial decision in the moment
OF opportunity. the very depth Of
his sorrow indicated the persist
ency OF the appeal Of conscience.
He went away dissatisfied with
himself. conscious that he was not
measuring up to his opportunity.
and conscious. also OF his weakness.
On this view the allurement OF all
that he had lost followed him
through the years. and he carle Ill
timatelv 10 the place where he
achieved the decision and the alli-
ance with the Christ that he had
failed 70 make at the great op-
portunity.
Whether this occurred Is. OF course.
a matter Of speculation. Some have
profeSSed TO find some identified
ton between this rich young man
and Joseph Of Arismathea. who.
in a time OF great danger, claimed
the body Of Jesus. But such an
Identification is in the realm OF
pleasant imagery.
Probably the one thing that It Is
necessary to point out Is that the
application OF this lesson does not
lie at all only IN the realm or great
wealth. II Is not only great pos
sessions that may become a barrier
in the way Of ones highly duty and
opportunity. Smaller possessions.

tween ourselves and the way Of the

Other Things Intervene
II is the thing, whatever II may
be. in our lives that interferes with

ance Of the Christ-spirit that con-
stitutes the obstacle 10 true disciple
ship. and as long as that thing,
whatever II may be. persists in our
lives there Will always be in our
characters and in our services. no
matter how hirh their outward
aspect OF morality, the one thing
lacking.
The one thing that constitutes
true d,scipleship OF the Master Is
the placing OF the claims and in
fluences Of his spirit supreme over
MI other interests and over al
other motives. Only that oonsti-
tutes the completeness OF the
