to maintain tolerance and freedom the
world over, even if such course leads to
war. They believe that saving the world
for Democracy on foreign shores will fore
stall possible attack in the Western Hem
iSphere. But actually we have reached
the point where American neutrality is a
practical as well as an idealistic necessity.
If this nation goes to war, freedom and
representative government will auto
matically end, perhaps permanently.
Brief study of IN Day" mobilization
day. recently drawn up by military Off
Gals, encompassing the entire economic
life of the nation, is sufficient proof of
this fact. We will have one-man govern
ment in this country from the instant
war is declared, just as completely as
Germany has been subjugated to the will
of one man. Likewise, in view of the pres
ent Federal debt, war would mean ulti-
mate financial chaos - which alone is
sufficient to destroy freedom.
The greatest service that this country
can render the world today is through
maintenance of representative govern
ment, tolerance, and individual liberty
within it's own borders. Only by doing
that can the arts of peace be preserved
and toehold saved for the rebuilding of
world civilization after chaos has held
its day abroad.

Future Farmers

If America means anything at all, it
means the forward look toward the bet
ter, brighter future. During the week
of October Is, approximately 5000
farm boys are to meet in Kansas City.
They are organized under a name that
has true and hopeful ring, "The Flu
ture Farmers of America"
This association of 205,000 farm boys
was started IL years ago under the Spon-
and its convention will bring together
delegates from every state as well as from
Hawaii and Puerto Rico. 1t is a fine
thing to see farm boys assembling thus
with their eyes on the future, and it is
the Job of the present to see that so
far as possible It's events do not be-
cloud that future.

HIS MONEYS WORTH
New Haven Register)

In its current bulletin the Nation
al Highway Users Conference takes
strong whack at the super-high-
ways and toll roads. Special men
ton is made Of the Connecticut toll
on the Merritt Parkway and Of that
on the Hutchinson River Parkway,
and attention Is called to the plight
Of the motorist who has to pay
tolls for the use Of these parkways
in addition to his registration fees
and gasoline taxes"
''Toll roads," the summation goes,
whether sponsored by the federal
government, the states or local COM
munities, are definitely repugnant to
American concepts Of freedom of
the highways"
They are not SO repugnant, at
least in these two specific cases, as
to cause much outward expression
of ire. While perhaps not 100 per
cent the rule, the general reaction
to the Merritt toll Is that 1t Is the
biggest value for dime In the coun-
try. On the Hutchinson Parkway.
most toll payers threw away the
rebate slips given them for use in
case the toll were invaIidated In the

Steady Job

Whether Congress confines the present
emergency session to proposed amend
ment of the neutrality law, or whether it
remains in session thereafter, one pro-
posal has been made that sounds use
full
It is that Congress set up committee
to examine foreign propaganda, and that
this committee sit continuously even if
Congress adjourns. Such committee,
with powers of subpoena, could render the
country an invaluable service if con-
tinually in session by helping to en-
able the people to understand more clear
ly what goes on in the world. It is
essential not only that news be given,
but it be weighed and assessed as to
source and purpose. Newspapers are
trying hard to help their readers to do
this, but congressional committee with
power of subpoena might be a great help
at times. America has momentous de-
cisions to make. 1t must not make them
without the best and clearest informa-
ton it is possible to get.

Selected Poem
TO AN AMERICAN COMMUTER
ANE CAPEN in the Christian Science MONT

~ AIN AN1EtL1CAN COMMUIER
JANE CAPEN in the Christian Science Monitor
It's where you live
All the wet fields are yours
The scabby houses, the publicity of washlines
Kids waving and dog racing the train
Why don't you look at 1t
Instead Of a magazine?
Yours are the cars coupled together
Maine Central-Erie-
Texas-Wabash-
California Fruit;
Yours and the engineers
Where he leans over his door and cogitates,
Eyes inward
This country bore you, so even Texas is yours
Here in Vermont
And native love is halt seeded always for any
farmhouse
Or old road, or meadow
Bangor and Aroostook-Ohio-
Tar and fruit slipping by, and marble,
BY an orchard with solitary COW,
BY an old track splashed with the devils paint
brush.
You wouldn know the feel OF those very rails on
your bare feet
If you hadn't been born here
Or in Texas
Or out in Omaha.

Of them turn out to be phonies.
While Hoover appreciates the
cooperation of the public, he also
is warning the San Francisco

END OF ADVENTURE
(Hartford Courant)

Richard Halliburton was one of
those rare young men who set out
to capitalize on a career of romance
and succeeded. He linked his name
deliberately with the most glamorous
spots on earth-the Hellespont, Tai
Mahal, Devils Island, the Matter
horn, Fujiyama. Inevitably, In the
eyes of millions, he himself became
as romantic as the places he visited.
Beginning with .'The Royal Road to
Romance" in 1926, his books sold
more than q million copies, not be-
cause he was a great writer nor q
great adventurer, but because his
formula was sound.
Halliburton never regarded him
self as anything but q Snowman,
albeit an honest Snowman. There
was no reason to doubt his claims
to his many exploits. With few ex'

ceptions they were not difficult
stunts. and Halliburton knew it.
But he also knew that he had the
showman's gift Of making them seem
difficult and hazardous and tremen-
dously thrilling. In his scheme Of
things that was what counted.
TO the millions who fell under
his influence. through his books and
lectures, Halliburton will always be
the youthful, reckless, debonair and
courageous adventure. Thousands of
youngsters in the late '20s dreamed
dreams Of him: some embarked on
perilous adventures of their own.
His older admirers contented them
selves with writing to him. His dis
appearance last March in a mid
Pacific typhoon has led now to a
jury decision that Halliburton is
legally dead. His Chinese junk prob
ably went down with all hands on
the way to Treasure Island from
Hongkong. It is a tribute to his
talent that the annual sales of his
books have not diminished. Even in
death his formula for popularity did
not fail him.

Lieut.-Col. Daniel Boone was in

knew his Indians: and this was not

At shutdown the Kentuckians halt

counter Indians any moment now.
Half the men were to ride their
horses straight into the Indian line.
The rest, on foot, were to follow
close behind, attacking at close
range when the cavalry charge had
broken the enemy.
Early in the morning the Ken
tuckians pushed on, with screen Of

Boone. who had known this part
Of the country for years, suggested
that they cross the river higher up
and then strike the trace again in
the high ground to the north. That
would take them around any pos

the whole cavalcade Numbered down
to the Blue Licks ford beyond

waited in cheerful anticipation.
There was a rattle of shots as the
advance guard stumbled into the
Indians. then the fire quickencd and
