President Roosevelt says he does not want a
dictator in this country. Well, that makes it
unanimous. Nobody wants dictator
But not wanting dictator is no enough. A
good many niddle-aged people will remember
writing over and over again in copybooks in
their youth the famous sentence: Eternal vigil
ance is the price of safety" That still remains
a truism to which we should at least OCCASION
ally give consideration.
At that time these mddle-aged folks learned
how the Romans lost their republic and their
freedom. They lost their heads in admiration of
a conquering soldier, military hero public
spirited citizen persuaded to lead a con-
And under cover of this conspiracy men less wise
and more selfish grabbed the power The Roman
people had let freedom slip from their hands
forever
the young Americans of the horse-and- buggy
days learned how important it for every
American to know about his government to
think about what was best for the people as a
whole. Vigilance about liberty pre-suppoSed
knowledge and interest and unselfsh concern
for all the people
The nation has grown so large, and the groups
are SO widely separated in economic status that
the simple thinking of the earlier days is gone
But it can come back. A sort of publication of
purpose is needed.
This generation has grown up. They have
children They know now that they are going
to live under American government, they and
their children after them. T..ey begin to see
that good government begins with the purifica-
ton of the individual purpose. With purified
lo9e of freedom comes wiser vigilance. And
eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

The Dangers of
Law Enforcement

Americans are too prone to regard their
police, deputy sheriffs and other law
enforcement officers as mere taXeaters,
forgetting the dangers that beset even
the most humble law enforcement job.
Some of us consider that the officers
have an easy job. A few of us complain
now and then because We think they are
too highly paid.
A man cannot be too highly paid for
risking his life every day. Hs6
No peace officer, going to work in
the morning, can be sure that he will re-
turn to his family that night alive. For
example we may turn to San Diego, just
over the mountains, where law enforce
ment officers were on guard early this
week against the escape of criminal
who had wounded one officer and sent
bullets whining around the heads of two
others. The man, in the beginning, was
wanted for nothing more than robbery;
he might have served five years in prison
for it. Officers in our own Imperial
county arrest men on similar charges al
most every week They take their lives
in their hands every time they do it.
There is no way of knowing which will
answer the order to surrender by gun
fire
The life of a peace officer is not an
easy one, and his pay is none too high
for the job he does.

country.
Hitler is not the only example,
of course Every dictatorship in
Europe got it's start in precisely
that same way And when you stop
to think what democracy really
means, the fact is not hard to un-
derstand.
Democracy is based on the as
sumption that people will use their
gray matter rather than their feel
ings to solve their problems. 1t
takes for granted that there will be
enough GOODNESS, patience and good
sense to permit issues to be argued
out, and that things will be settled
nationally rather than emotionally.
OF all he things that our Amerl-
ca does not need, rabble rouser-
whether of the right, the left or

of the list.

Geraldine Robinson boarded the plane for Las
Vegas, Nevada. The bride e-to- be was wearing
dark blue travelling dress and had fetching
contraption of blue on her yellow curls. Hat
and dress had been purchased on credit two
hours before. The groom wore gray suit,
impressed and no hat The elopers said little
and were intensely self-conscious But, by and
by, she met one of his speculative glances
and smiled saucily
All l know about you is your name," he
remarked
III tell you anything you wish to know"
Being an ex-newspaperman. he asked per-
tinent questions and in no time he had a pic
ture of her drab little life "a dreary past, no
future to speak of - and began to understand
why she had accepted his bizarre proposition.
Because he had come to respect the little
girl, he felt impelled to cut less despicabe
figure in her eyes, 50 he began to talk about
Luther Lattimer. 1t appeared that Harriet
Hopkins wrote books as we'll as flew planes
and they had the same publisher, who forced
Luther to 60 about in public with Harriet in

he knew, he asserted, the woman was intro
ducing him to everybody as her hance.
$50 here we are" he finished
This is costing you lot of money, Geral-
dine stated. Can you afford it, Mr. Lattimer?"
If had to be operated upon and the sur
geon's fee was ten thousand dollars, I'd pay,
wouldn't l? You may not be saving my life,
but you're saving my reason. Forget what it
costs"
After silence he said. You're smart to do
this. Gets you out of the muck. You'll love the
world cruise. I'd like to be making it with
somebody to whom everything was exciting
A fellow like me sees so much his senses
get blunted'
She looked startled You re not thinking of
coming?" she exclaimed.
He laughed softly. "Of course not. I'll keep
to the terms of the bargain"
Geraldine winked away tears. A girl dreams
for years about her wedding heads toward it
from early teens. How wonderful this would

marry her. She can't force you to, you know"
He looked irritated. You dom know what
you're talking about She charms me as if she
were snake ~
And you a rabbit" said Geraldine scon-
fully. While he was her boss, he had proposed
to her, and that entitled her to speak her
mind And she had built him up to great
heights, and he was unworthy
"A rabbit, he said with sort of satisfac-
ton. That's what l am. Listen, I've shot
lions and speared wild boars l can look any
body IN the eye - except her. We've got to do
something" He looked at Geraldine as if it
were her business to pull him out of his jam.
We'll, do something" she snapped
He grinned sheepishly. 1t was crazy idea
asking you to marry me. You would only
marry the man you loved
Certainly. Besides, you have to wait three
days to get married in California"
He looked Mortified What do people do?"
She laughed. They take a plane for
Nevada"
Nevada. He went off into silence
Geraldine was quivering with excitement
While this was shoddy sort of proposal, it
was mark on blank page The pity of it was,
she really liked him.
He spoke gloomily. "If she marries me, I'm
going to commit suicide" He hopefully
watched the effect of the threat upon the
young woman.
Pooh! Tell her you don't love her."
When Harriet comes along, crawl under
her thumb he confessed sort of black
magic"
Geraldine tossed her head Il decline your

Reno. l pay all expenses and give you five
thousand dollars. Say, this is the only thing
I've asked you to do since you insisted on
being my secretary"
Geraldine was staring at him enigmatically.
How was this pampered person to know what
a girl like herself was up against? She was
twenty-four, which in Hollywood is middle
age. She was overdrawn at the bank nine dol
lars and had five more payments to 60 on her
cheap little car She squared her shoulders and
lifted her pretty chin. YES" she declared.
"On those terms, III marry you

that she had practically no contact with her
boss, who walked through her office about
mid morning, went into the private office and
remained there until closing time She had
looked him up in Who's Who" and learned
that he was unmarried. When man is not
marled, his secretary, if beautiful, can't tell
what may happen. But she was secretary in
name only. He never gave her any dictation.
Occasionally she heard the slow tapping of a
typewriter worked with one finger of each
hand. Mostly, no sound was heard from within.
While it was vexing to be ignored, it looked
as If Geraldine had achieved the ambition of
most people in the film trade - saaried lob
with no duties.
Upon the sixth day of paid unemployment,
the hour being few minutes after four a
messenger boy delivered telegram for Mr..
Lattlmer. Geraldine took it into his private
office. He sat in front of his typewriter. He
frowned at Geraldine
Il thought, maybe, was going to have an
idea, he said reproachfully "Oh, telegram.
Gimme
After she had returned to her desk, she
heard sounds in the private office, sounds as of
chair getting kicked around In ten minutes
he astonished her by coming into her office
and throwing himself into chair He turned
his eyes - which the romantic secretary had
compared favorably to a deer's she had
noticed in the Studio Zoo - upon her and
stared at her intently, almost as if he we're
looking at picture. He kept it up until she
was embarrassed. Finally he spoke:
Il can't work with secretary" he said
morosely. Even knowing one is out here
ready to rush in and snatch the words from a
fellows mouth - can't stand it,
Geraldine went limp She was being fired.
II am as unobtrusve as can be-" she
protested weakly
He made an impatient gesture What |
need he said belligerently. 80 is WIFE
She relaxed. She wasn't being fired. The
laconic MIR. Lattimer, at last, felt like chat
ting. She smiled at him encouragingly Il pre-
sumo every man feels like that sooner or
later" she observed
But he had turned his brooding stare upon
the wall behind her. She gazed at him apprais-
ingly. While homely. he had some sort of mag
netism. She had felt it from the first 1t was
more than the need of job that had induced
her to compel him to retain her.
His eyes shifted, caught her gaze. She
blushed
You're pretty good-looking girl, " he said
gravely. He caught hold of his right ear and
began to twist the lobe of it. "I'd like you to

As she sprang up,
Geraldine almost
knocked over her desk.
The man was crazy.

cried shrilly. Right
