NEWSPAPERS OPINION
SUPPORTING THE GOVERNMENT

rrstics Holiness final gift to his country may
prove to be as valuable any of the spiendio con-
trihrtiors Of devotion, independence, courage and
enlightenment ne offered throughout MS long SCI
v;ce His last gift was one ostensiby only OF
money:
"AII the rest, residue and remainder OF my
property l give, devise ana 0eq"0"'" W
United States of America"
But here is far more than the S25O,OOO the De-
quest is expected to total when the estate is settled
Here is a most touching and timely expression
Of great Americans faith in the people and gov
eminent of his country Here IS most tahgloie
evidence of a great aristocrats trust IN demoe-
racy. Here is sum, relatively tiny beside the Di-
lions the American government is distributing, but
synbolizng a concept of government and OF the
citizens obligation to support it that may outweigh
all the descriptive forces that would siphon federal
funds from the common pocket of the people The
Treasury, into every selfish or local use the poll
ticians can discover. .... .- ...... ..-...
At time when lesser Americans, writing checks
for their income taxes, are tempted to feel that
the little drop they contribute may only swell
flood of partially necessary but often reckless
spending. this beguest has much more than none
tary value. At time when every group putting
pressure upon. Congress for federal argess is at
tempting to justify itself by saying, "Well, every
body else is getting theirs, this example of giving
rather than trying only to get may cause some to
thing At a, time when millions of Americans seem
to have adopted 'tin cup" attitude and behave
as if the government owed them living, this evil
dence of Justice Holiness conviction that he owed
his government half his fortune comes as whole
same shock. ...
Would that this gift could be earmarked or set
up in a visible form to be thrust before the eyes
of every congressman about to authorize a new
splurge of spending and of every federal employee
forget of where the money comes from which
seems so easy to pass out. Would that it could
be offered as first instalment to shame every
bloc that comes begging for special hand-out
with the words, Here, take this; this is the kind
of money you are asking for"
Perhaps those who have no reluctance to take
the savings of citizens--and it should always be
remembered that every man, child who
has food or shelter pays taxes in some form
might hesitate before demanding this final gift Of
an American who, in addition to all the contribu-
tions he had made to his country, felt an obliga-
ton to provide in his will for its support. May
this symbol remind other Americans of their own
obligation to support their government in every
way-Christan Science Monitor.

EUROPE AGAIN DANCES WITH
RED DEATH .i'.i
Try BRUCE CATION


The society folk of gay Vienna nave
found machine guns and target practice
diversion just too ducky for words, accord
ing to recent news dispatches
One cable has it that such sideshow d.
versions as shooting galleries, introduced
to the best Viennese circles recently by
Young FaSciSts, have made tremendous
hit: and finally, at great ball in the for
mer Imperial Palace, ladies in evening
gowns deserted the dance floor to let fly
with machine gun bullets at cardboard
tafgets representing enemy soldiers.
Everyone, apparently, had the best of
good times. and the home of the Strauss
waltzes found notwithstanding much
more fun than dancing.
This sort of thing, of course, is nothing
but the froth which any spirited society is
apt to throw off every now and then, and
there is no sense in taking it too seriously.
But to read about it, against the back
ground of the war threat which is steadily
rising higher and higher over Europe, is ID
get creepy and uncomfortable feeling.
Edgar Allan Poe once wrote story en-
titled "The Masque of the Red Death" 1t
told about a land ravaged by horrible
plague known as the red death. Sundr%
titled folk locked themselves in a remote
castle and with feasting and dancing tried
their best to forget about the plague out
side.
But it couldn't be kept out. At the height
of the merry-making, the dreaded infee-
ton suddenly appeared in their midst, and
the revel abruptly dissolved in frantic
scramble as ladies and courtiers fled vain
ly from the destroyer.
There is something about this story from
Vienna that reminds one of that tale of
Poe's
No red death menaces Vienna. The
threat is infinitely graver. Unless every
thoughtful student of modern affairs is
mistaken, war in Europe today would
bring in a new dark age. Famine, revolu-
ton, massacre, the collapse of government
and the decline of all those graces which
make modern society worth while-these
are the prices that Europe would inev-
itably have to pay.
Each month sees the war clouds mount
higher on the European horizon. And we'll
TODD, cultured, intelligent folk who ought
to be moving heaven and earth to avert
the danger, find it amusing and "chic" to
play with machine guns .. dancing the
masque of the red death, while the fatal
infection drawers nearer and nearer the
castle.

II HATE HIM."
By WlCKES WAMBOLDT-

they average up about the same.
Demagoguery is commonly de-
plored and not without reason.
The leader who gets the people
into action by appealing to their
prejudices and inflaming their
passions, has done something that
is not to be recommended, yet
there times when it is necessary
even in a good cause to inflame
the public.
Uusually the public will not
move with force to redress its
wrongs and to punish its faithless
public servants unless a pictul-
esque and spectacular presenta-
ton Of the misconduct and mis-
deeds Of rascally politicians is
portrayed pictureSquely. and spec
tacularly.
Sometimes it is almost impos-
sible to arouse the people suffi-
GENTLY to get them into action
to protect their rights and their
liberties without working them up
into a state of hatred toward Their
enemies. That is a sad part of
political conflict.
HoweveR, the right kind of
leaders will constantly endeavor
to keep down the hate emotion,
and for that matter all other de-
structive emotions. The objective
should be to make the public re-
alize that this mater of good gov
eminent is not q flash n-the-pan
thing. 1t is not something to be
started today and dropped tomor-
row and to be operated on pocket
change.
The good government move
meEt to be wholesomely success
full, must be a permanent institu-
ton. The citizenry must be sub
stantially organized. They must
in one way or another be in &C
ton all the time. There must be
substantial money contributions
as well as time contributions. The
good government movement must
be intelligently operated year in

Pacifists here are almost as

view, as the militarists are from
theirs.
Dr.. Charles A. Beard, dean of
historians, told group of sena-
tors and other officials the other
evening that tie country was in
the same sort of situation as in
other periods which had been fol-
lowed by war. An economic dead
lock existed, he said, in which the
administrations only alternatives
seemed to be a strong domestic
policy and strong, belligerent
foreign policy.
A strong domestic policy, ac-
cording to Beard, would call for
a wider distribution of income and
use of productive facilities.
He saw no evidence of a strong
domestic policy and declared that
history showed the second alter
native had always been chosen in
similar crises.

WHY TAKE 1T ON?

Last week the Indiana State legislature defeated
proposal to authorize pari-mutuel betting horse
and dog races in that state.
Indiana is bounded on the south by Kentucky
and on the west by Illinois, both Of which have
legalized the parimutual system. If it is such a
desirable thing, Indiana, it would appear, certainly
should have the virtues of it so close at hand
Texas legalized the system some years ago and
Governor Alfred, recently inaugurated, made the
repeal of this law part of his program. He is
insisting that the law be repealed and merchants
organizations over the state are backing up his
demands.
Merchants in Texas say frankly that they have
seen beyond question two effects since the legaized
betting on horse and dog races began in Texas.
First effect is that sales show marked decrease
when the racing season sets in. Second effect is
that they find collections more than doubly hard
when the racing season is on. That is to say, peo-
pie use money to place bets instead of buying
goods and also they put off paying bills to have
money to use in bettng.--Greenwood IS. c. In

Hendersonville, N. G.
March IA, 1885.
Dear Editor
After having read all the ar
ticles in your paper about the
soul and the Immortality Of man,
I think it is high time these
preachers and Bible scholars lay
aside all these doctrines and per-
sonal differences about the state
of the dead or where man goes
and begin getting him ready to
go.
We as Christians cannot save
any man from hell or for heaven
with doctrines, forms, creeds and
organizations; but we can so live
and teach our fellow men by our
daily lives and acts of service
and kindness that Christ will be
manifested through US. What our
church and every member of the
church (for a church is no
greater than the individuals that
compose it) needs today is an ex-
perience like the disciples had at
Penticost. We need to be filled
with the spirit of God that we
may be fearless men, denouncing
sin in all places, and standing up
for Christ and his teaching in all
walks of life, and not denouncing
some ones doctrine or what he
believes.
Referring again to the state of
the dead, no man has ever come
back and told us about being in
the state Of death. After all man
only knows what he has actually
experienced, believe what he may
this one thing we do know,
and that is the love of God for
sinful human beings and of His
saving, keeping grace. Let us
prepare men to LIVE and God
will take care of the deceased.
Sincerely yours,
VERNON L. HENDERSON.

from states further south have

OF money into the county each

purchases, and give employment
Tor three or four months each
summer. But they have no voice
IN the county government, and
the,f' interests have not been
protected. When they close their

bat planes would force down any
aircraft that flew over the forbidden
zone.
Blank shots will be fired first

Unless the planes turn back to-

combat Squadrons will 60 up after
them.
These combat planes will have

The air ministry, in issuing its
warning, said its measures were
made necessary to protect the
secrecy of the great defense works
along the German frontier
1t is particularly necessary to pro-
tect work being done in the forests
of Alsace and Moselle. Army en-
gineers are using French troops and
Senegalese soldiers from Africa in
stead of civilian workers to keep ac-
Euties secret.
Combat planes detailed to chase
invaders will have orders to pursue
them to the frontier, but in nc
circumstances to cross.

Legends are growing up arouno

most formidable defenses of the sort
ever conceived. For miles and
leagues, through department after

ground. They are of steel and con-
crete and, almost unnoticeable from
the earth, they penetrate far
beneath the surface to give shelter
to men and materials.
They link UP with each other in
