THE CAUSE THEY SERVED

Armistice Day calls our atten
ton to the Americans who gave up
their lives in the service of their
county during the great World
War
1t is we'll that the people of
Grant County should place some
emphasis on the sacrifice of bravo
young men who surrepdered their
lives. Surely I'VE should honor the
memory of those who offered their
lives upon the altar of patriontism.
The men who went to their
death during the titanic struggle
fell asleep with a dream of world
peace in their hearts. Rightly or
wrongly. they were convinced that
the suffering they endured and the
blood they shed would be part of
the price that mankind must pay
for world peace.
Linguistic speeches and fullsome
oratory on Armistice Day make no
Impression upon the dead. If hap
PLY they exist in the land beyond
and are able to keep In touch with
a world they loved, 1T should be a
source of joy supreme to them to
see that the people for whom they
died are at least loyal to the ideals
that cost them most. Our only fit
ting tribute to the dead soldiers.
sailors, marines and oilers connect
ed with was time service is sincere
attachment to the end they sought
and courageous determination to
secure the goal for which they
struggled.
The Dispatch salltes all the sol
dter dead of this country. So far
as it is concerned, 1t pledges alleg
lance to the high ideals that nerved
them to superhuman endeavor. We
hone that the people of Grand Co.
along with vast millions of others
In the United States, will always
remember those who died and be
loyal to the cause they served

The Press
Guardian Of Liberty
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
.Sentinels OF the Republic.


Steadily the dark stain of censorship
is spreading over the newspapers Of
Europe.
What is the result? The headlines
tell. Let's see what dispatches from the
nations that have shackled their Press
describe:
War-imperialistic war /. religious
intolerance the red blight Of Com
nunisml
In each Of those nations the Press is
in chains. In each Of them free speech
and free presentation Of the news is
forbidden. The papers print, and the
people read, only what dictator per-
mits.
That's how despotism is created and
preserved. That's why Napoleon adj
mitted that II he allowed freedom OF
the Press his power could not last six
weeks. That's why the autocrats Of
Europe have hand cuffed their nations
newspapers.
Such things aren't happening in
America today. The newspaper on
which you rely for knowledge of what
goes on--in the world and in your home
town alike--glveS you the IactS I'M

CRIME TO KEEP
 CHRISTMAS DAY

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 24-(UP) Once upon a time anyone who observed Christmas day in New England was classed with gamblers and drunkards.
 For 60 years, observance of the day was banned and punishable by a fine, according to Harvard col- lege library records. Anyone who feasted or stayed home from work on Christmas was fined five shil- lings, the same punishment meted out to those who gambled, got drunk, raced horses, or quarreled in public.
 Christ's birth was considered even worse than use of profanity and smoking on Sunday, for these con- paratively minor offenses carried fines of only two or three shillings.
 The Dutch in New York ob- served Christmas from the time of their first settlement, but the Mass achusetts colony did not repeal the law against the holiday until 1881.
