nation Today the lust for power among new
leaders is simply a dog fight for the spoils of
the old-time barons
This new lust for power is camouflaged un-
der the theme song Of equal rights. The new
forces do not fight for the privilege Of life lib
erty and the pursuit Of happiness, as our fore
fathers did, for ALL classes Of people. They
simply fight to obtain the power for themselves!
Proportion Lost
The sense of proportion and balance of the
nation has been well nigh lost in appraising the
value of power. The new forces confuse power
with happiness, or contentment and being un-
accustomed to power fail to recognize how short
lived it is.
The new lust for power is not based on ma
terial advantages, but on the desire for control
so that. material advantages can be merely
taken from those who have power and given to
those who do not have it, but want it. 1t is
tragic thing that each succeeding generation of
human beings fails to recognize that power and
envy are the two evils which can do more to de-

Says Boake Carter

stroy mankind than any other two forces in the
world.
Power in the hands of one man, or in group
of men, kills liberty It is just as evil for power
to filter into the hands of a group, for it may
filter into the hands of one man. The ultimate
results are the same. What group of would-be
dictators fail to realize is that power they gain
by fighting the rights of others is force that
is self-destroying. When the lust for power is
so divided. each eventually destroys the other,
until there is only one survivor-the strongest
with all the power concentrated in his hands
alone.
It seems to me that much of the talk about
fighting for liberty today is not fight for hon
est liberty and equal opportunity for all, but
fight to curtail other peoples liberty.

new sense Of hunor? Y E
Why have we lost our sense of humor? Per-
haps it is because all of us are jittery from try
ing to follow too fast pace. When the Gov
ernment sets pace of reform that is too fast
national resistance is worn down and nerves
are set on edge. We get into the mood of VIC
lent name-calling and bitter intolerance whence
the oldfashioned principle of give-and.take dis
cussion is banished.
This loss of humor, it seems to me- is dangerous
in that we lose thereby our sense of proportion
and values.
What we need most of all today, it seems to me-
is good healthy laugh at ourselves 1t might
restore that rapidly vanishing sense of humor
in the daily life of America.

Washington and was at a delightful tea that was
being given for her. A friend of Mrs. Van Wrinkle
went up to her and quietly said Lady Astor, do
you know that Mrs Van Winkle is dying, and can
you possibly go and see her?"
There wasn't moments hesitation The for
mer Nancy Langhorne said:
II will go at once. Call taxi"
Then and there she left that delightful party
went over and spent an hour with Mrs. Van
Wrinkle, whom she had known for many years.
From then on, every day, this important busy
little lady took time to go there quietly and
see her poor dying friend.
Won Niche in History
This was not done for the sake of publicity
or for a grandstand play. 1t was done out of the
goodness and sweetness of a real woman's heart.
And 1 know that this instance was only one of
many, many like it that have never come to
light.
There is no doubt Lady Astor has made a
niche for herself in the history Of England that
will never be forgotten. But to me her appeal
ing and true self was shown when she reached
out her hand to her friend and put hope and
encouragement into that poor broken life.
