MT. RAINIER, Md, Oct. IA
delegation of citizens represent
ing the Citizens Protective AS.
ISOLATION of Mt. Rainier is ex.
pected to appear before the
Prince Georges County Board of
Liquor License Commissioners in
Upper Marlboro tomorrow to pro-
test issuance of any further
liquor licenses in Mt. Rainier.
Last month the citizens asso-
citation lost its battle to retain
Mt. Rainier's pre-prohibition dry
status when the State liquor
board granted Carl Klein, 1902
Rhode Island Ave-, a license.
Klein had appealed to the State
board after the county board had
rejected his application.
Since Klein's license was Is
sued, three more applications
have been received by the county
liquor board. They are Walter
E. Myers and Jack Rosenthal,
1909 Rhode Island Ave-; Milton
Self, 1914 Thirty-fourth ST., and
Nathan L. Gildenhorn 1888

About Religious Freedom

Americans take pride in the freedom of religious
worship accorded citizens in this country. They find it
difficult to understand the absence of such freedom in
many sections of the world.
The result is that, at times, there arises strong pro-
test in the United States over the attitude of foreign
governments to religious and other associations. A con-
siderable group of Americans object to, and vociferously
demand action against, German domestic policies, Rus
sias scheme Of government, Mexico,s internal affairs,
and, recently some Methodists are concerned over the
fact that the Polish Government seems determined to
run their missionary enterprise out of Poland.
To all of this the average American may object but
policies adopted by other governments in regulating
their own domestic affairs are not a particular concern
of the United States Government. In fact, Americans in
terested in religious freedom, which means absence of
governmental interference with the affairs of religious,
might as well devote their time and energy to the MAIN
tenance of this ideal.
We are familiar with the activity of Father Cough
lin, Detroits radio priest, and the doings of Bishop Can
non, who was extremely active in the days of prohibi-
ton. Newspapers abound with stories concerning the
addresses delivered in temples of religion along political
lines. While it is very hard to tell when a discussion of
social evils becomes a political TRADE there occur ex-
amples that are beyond dispute.

Men to Remember

Our oldest pioneers are passing. AS each reaches the
end of the trail we have occasion to reflect on the de-
cades of duty and toll that he has passed through, cour-
ageously and with honor. We know that what they did
had to be done to bring Montana out of its primitive
state to the point where she is beginning to find herself.
They are men to remember and to honor by carrying on
the work of building a prosperous, independent western
state. A state where cleancut, courageous men and wo-
men may enjoy equality Of privilege and self respecting,
happy lives.-Wolf Point Herald.
Until the election is over the air will be filled with
conflicting claims, but there is no use in arguing with a
man who doesn't believe as you do.

EUTHANASIA

Has a doctor a right to kill? That
question is being discussed in this
country and in Europe. The newspap-
ers and religious journals are airing
the subject from every angle. II is a
question that causes much c%ontrover-
sy. Some good and thoughtful people
believe that sufferers, who are slowly
dying from an incurable disease, have
the right either to terminate their
lives, or to have an end put to them
by a qualified medical man.
AN anonymous physician, described
as a kindly faced elderly family doc
tor confessed TO London's Daily Mail
that he had snuffed out FIVE lives as an
act of mercy, and that his death-deal-
ing did not in the least trouble his
conscience, and that he was sure his
acts would be justified by any trib-
unal in the land"
The publication of this statement
caused quite a Juror, and sent report
ers scurrying to men and women OF
prominence to ask their opinions OF
the question. Naturally as people sell
dom think alike some were for Euth-
anasia (the right to kill to prevent
hopeless suffering) and some were
against it. Almost without exception
the leading medical authorities were
against it. They felt that the RESPONSE
bility was too great to be vested in the
hands of frail, erring mortals; more
over, the business of the physician
is to save life and not 10 destroy it.
All of their training has taught them
that human life is so precious, that
when they have done all that science
teaches to restore health and failed,
that the true physician, the friend OF
humanity, must stand by and ease the
last hours of the dying.
The physician can at least admin
lister drugs that render the hopeless
and incurable sufferer insensible to
pain; but he cannot give a lethal dose.
If such a grave responsibility as the
right to kill (even though to kill mer-
cifully) should be placed upon the
shoulders of the medica profession, it
would open the h~oodgates for all sorts
Of crimes. In all professions there are
unworthy members. These would b.
sought out by people who desire to
get rid of from whom they
would inherit money. A mysterious
death could then be explained ON the
ground of Euthanasia. Revolving as is
the thought, we must face facts. The
right to mercy killings would be
abused and is too terrible to be vest
ed in a human being"
Doctor Alexis Carrel, a world famed
researcher and Nobel prize man, be-
lieves that doomed incurables" should
be aided in shuffling off this mortal
coil" Also ~kidnapers and the hope
lessly insane. | agree with him in
thinking that ~kidnapers should be
killed; and | also think that murder
ers and many other criminals should
share a like fate. But think that they
should be dispatched according to the
laws of the states in which the crimes
were committed.

Use Good Seed

The farmers of Sheridan county are about to begin
their new year. They viii soon inaugurate the crops
upon which they will deperd for a living. Into the UNI
certain lap Of the weather and the market they consign
the fortunes. and even the lives of the families for
which they labor.
It is not a very inviting prospect for farmers. What
the future holds is hard to determine. What the farmer
may expect is uncertain, in yield as well as in prices.
The uncertain, unknown factors are risks that are great
enough. No unnecessary liability should be carelessly or
want only added.
Too often a farmer plants his crop without consider
ing the importance of the seed. Heavy losses result every
year, in every crop, from poor selection Of seed. Good
seed IS important. 1t is the good beginning that enables
one farmer to Guido his ~neighbor. Good seed will mean
good stands, healthy plants and ability TO live and grow,
and to withstand temporary setbacks.
Let every farmer who reads this article determine
to plant Only good seed this spring. This is one expend-
iture that will pay.

Air Defense Revealed

Although it had been noted that after July 1917, to
the end of the World War, that air raids over London
were practically discontinued, it has only been recently
that revelations have been made as to the probable
cause.
The British Air Ministry, in a recent bulletin, as
cribes the immunity to the use of sky nets, entangle-
ments suspended above London by captive balloons,
which caught aircraft just as a net does a fish. Improved
nets, or aprons are now ready for defense.
This looks to us as one of the best possible defenses
against aircraft, valuable over important localities partic-
ularly. The nets can now be charged with electricity,
making them more fatal to invading airmen.

Crops Of Paper

Farmers of Sheridan county will one day grow pa
per, or at least the stuff from which paper will be made.
That, at least, is the prediction of DR.. w. w. Skin
ner, assistant chief of the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils
of the Department of Agriculture, who thinks this outlet
will greatly supplement the revenue which comes from
tn production of things for their primary purpose, which
is mostly food"
The idea has been spread abroad before and is not
impossible. Corn stalks, straw and other wastes of farm
crops may have a cash value. 1t has happened before in
the history of agriculture.

The most popular bait is earth worms,
or night crawlers These worms are
secured by digging up the ground, by
wetting the lawn and catching them at
night or by extending an iron rod into
the ground, charging it with electricity.
Worms may be raised in a flower box,
by pouring milk over the soil for food.
Live minnows are preferable for many
game fish, particularly pike, bass, mus
kes. Crawfsh are often used for trot-
line bats for bass, catfish and drum. The
helgramite is one of the best bass bats.
For still fishing the peeled tail of
crawfiSh is unsurpassed, but is difficult
to fasten on hook Liver and other
stale meats are often used to lure cat
fish, Doughballs are the accepted carp
bait. And don't let anybody tell you
carp can't put up fight.
