SWarms Of Officers

In re-reading that immortal document the De-
claration of Independence, which recites the grev
ances which impeled the American colonies to rise
and throw off the British yoke, were struck by a
paragraph which appealed to us with new signifl-
canoe Referring to King George, III, it declared:
He has erected multitude of new offices and
send hither swarms of officers to harass our people
and eat out substance"
It appears that "swarms of officers were dis
tasteful to the sturdy forefathers. What would they
say to the army of office-hoders who 'harass our
people and eat out substance" today?
Every session of Congress and every session OF
the state legislature enacts laws creating offices
Seldom is office established ever abolished,
except to create different and more expensive Of
flee offices, in it's place. Office-hoders salaries
are often raised, but never lowered.
Some day, possibly, majority of the voters will
rebel did the early fathers and by their ballots
instead of bullets, call halt on those legislators
whose chief aim appears to be the increase Of public
pay rolls

second century. The number of days included in this
season have varied at different times.
Today Lent begins Ash Wednesday, but in the
fifth and sixth centuries it opened with the succeed
ing Sunday and extended for period OF six weeks,
emitting Sundays, making in all SO days.
From the writings of Irenaeus and other early
church fathers it appears that in the beginning fast
periods consisted of only or two days. At pre-
sent is observed for forty days, beginning with
Ash Wednesday-ths year on March 6-and ending
the Saturday before Easter.
At one time Lent observed by only the Ro-
man Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran Churches, how

No Initiation, Says Richberg

Donald Richberg, chairman of the Emergency

March 4th, gave guarantee that there will be in

President Roosevelt is reelected.

Italy is provoking the war In order
to extend her territory In Africa.
italy claims that tribesmen have
attacked and killed italian soldiers
but the evidence seems to be that
the Italian soldiers were the ag-
gressors and were pursuing a de-

woke hostilities. A war In any part
of the world has possibilities Of dis
turbing world peace so that while
