By H. S. Osgood
Why is America the cynoSure of
all nations and the government at
Washington regarded with the
highest respect by the intelligence
of the whole world?
The answer is because there is
none better or as good or that
govern all classes with as high
ideals and offer such outstanding
rewards to every citizen, male or
female, for the efforts resulting
from education, morality and OPP
portunity wisely employed.
Witness our marvellous inStitu-
tons for the education and the
development of real ability re-
CARELESS of wealth or lineage. Call
to mind the men and women of
every generation qualifying TO
make magnificent records in SCI
fence, art, religion and professional
accomplishments, to say nothing
of big business, craftsmanship,
agriculture and many other lines
of practical accomplishments, all
because the essence of American
ism is freedom of opportunity I'M
hindered by the handicapS of me-
dievalism inherited and practiced
to date by the other governments
the world over.
Nowhere on this earth, either
now or from records of anthem
tic history can be found the spec
tacle of 48 organized governments
numbering high into the millions
Of population operating under one
central government in perfect
harmony and unity conducting
the greatest business organiza-
lions in the world without friction
under state and national laws
wherein are recognized the inter-
estS of all concerned.
Ours is the ideal form of educa-
ton, pure and progressive, embod-
led in our public school system
from start to finish with nothing
wanting other than the individual
ambition of the pupil to attain

all, he is the gent who pays the
freight and he's entitled to all the
police protection he can get. The
more cops, the more safety for all
concerned.
An example: We have four cops.
If one goes to sleep, we have three
left. If two go haywire, that leaves
two at our beck and call. Maybe
I'm wrong, but it figures that way
on paper at least.

God Took Will
BY A. L. CHILL

I'm kinda feelin' burberry
And I don't know what to say;
Just heard, the saddest kind Of
news,
Will Rogers died today.
The world won't be the same, I
tell you,
Will Rogers dead and gone,
No more pokin' jokes and laughin',
Well sure miss his carvings on.
1t don't seem right that he should
die
We needed him on earth,
To cheer us up and make us laugh
And keep us full of mirth.
Why folks just lived, from day
to day,
To read and laugh with VIII.
And now just think, how things
will be,
His voice forever still.
There was something bout VIII
Rogers
he was ol1erent from the rest,
Just cut loose, said what he
pleased
And then's when seemed, folks loved
him best.
What Will said, it never hurt you
Seemed somehow twas for your
good,
Folks he joked and laughed and
talked bout,
1t just seemed, they understood.
Guess God needed Will in heaven
To make the angels laugh and
smile.
And to sorta lead the singin',
So God could kinda rest a while.
Well, the whole world sure will
miss him,
But If we live clean and right.
Bet again, we'll hear Will broad
cast
Down from heaven some Sunday
night.

 Authorities pointed out that the address was near that of the Mill len home.

 As jail officials reconstructed the escape attempt, Frye climbed a pole on the outside of the Jail and swung to the high wall, then rope, knotted at foot intervals.
 Once inside the jail enclosure he fired the shot, either attempting to kill the ugard or as a signal to the Millens and Faber to make their break for freedom.

 Names of several persons prom inent in civic affairs were included on the original committee, among them F. H. Davis, statistician for the Scovill Manufacturing conn pany; Rev A. A. Perry of the Zion M. E. church; Frank J. Green, of the Chamber of Commerce, and Rev Joseph Todd of Mill Plain Union church. The decidedly "red'' color of the YMCA gathering was believed to be responsible for the fact that most of the committee members not directly affiliated with communist organizations quietly dropped out of active par ticipation before the concluding session.
 Not Discouraged
 Undaunted by the loss of the support of many of the original members, Mir Campbell and mem- bers of his. and kindred organiza- tions. carried out the plans of the committee. A group of nine per- sons was named to make local arr | engagements and several more meetings were held preceding the conference.
 Members of many fraternal or. ganizations who had attended tho original gathering were conspicu- ous by their absence at subsequent meetings. In spite of the fact that most of the names of the sponsors of the national meeting were those of officials of radical organizations several members of the Waterbury committee denied the allegation that communist influences were backing the movement.

 Included on the national com mittee were the following: Ear Browder, general secretary of ths national communist party; James Egan, secretary of the Steel and Metal Workers, Industrial Union William Foster. secretary of the Trade Union Unity league; Gran. vile Hicks, editor of New Masses" and Roy Hines, chairman of the Unemployed Workers Union

EXCITEMENT AT THE SAAR BASIN
 OVER ARRIVALS
SpasmOdic Fights Taking Place-TrOOps Keep Up
 Their Tactics

Saarbrucken, Jan 10--(UP)- Troop movements and unusual ac- tivity by the international army caused great excitement within the Saar today, which was increased by spasmodic fights and shootings. Re- ports that the international forces were shifted to border points over night to guard against the danger of a coup d'etat from France on the eve of the plebiscitew ere off, cially denied. It was explained that the army maneuvers at night time were due to the necessity of mak- ing the troops familiar with the country roads over which army trucks will bring the ballot boxes from the polls Sunday night and Monday.
 The governing commission ad- mitted 1t had reorganized the pO- lice guards at frontier posts but ridiculed d suggestion that 1t had purposely weakened the guards near Saarlouis and the Warndt for est, where, it is claimed, there have been particularly strong French m bile guard endorsements, across the border. The United Press correspondent personally inspected both the French and German fron- tiers and found everything calm, contrasting to tho tension within the Saar. The clashes within are causing nervousness, many Saar- flanders believing the rumors that the French are mobilizing.
 An unidentified man fired revol- yer shots at the United Front (an- ti-Nazi) building near Ottweiler to- day. A general fight occurred be- tween members of the German front and the united front at Uch- telfanger. One socialist received head wounds. When u party of bs foreign voters. mostly Latin Amer jeans, arrived today, the cavalry was called out because 1t was feared the united front would try ot mreak the German front cor don around the station.
