Coll To Re-Arm MorolIy

1.-THE spread of war and chaos across the world pre-
.sents a challenge to America. In the warning countries
Today the values of life and liberty on which our civil
ization rests are being thrust aside. The challenge TO
us is not only to guard these hard-won values, but to
strengthen the moral and spiritual foundations from
which they sprang.
Those rugged virtues of honesty, faith and hard
work which enabled our forefathers to carve a mighty
nation out of a wilderness must fortfy us today in the
wilderness of conflict that surrounds us, both within
and without our own borders.
Human wisdom has failed. We must seek afresh
that higher Wisdom to which the founders of our nation
looked. Under the guiding hand of such a Wisdom,
America would rediscover her destiny and give to the
world a new quality of leadership.
The urgent need of the hour is a program of Moral
Re-Armament. Commended to us by the President of
the United States, members of the Cabinet, Senate, and
the House of Representatives and other national leaders
can play his part in building in our country a hate-free,
fear-free, ~greed-free, order of life as a master pattern
of peace.
In the spirit of courageous obedience such listening
to the Author of all greatness will bring true unity to
our country and the confidence to accept that moral
and spiritual leadership which alone can save a crumb-
ling world
Thus the honorable Hugh White, governor of the
state of Mississippi, gives a challenge to its people to
seek anew in their lives new spiritual values for them
selves and their loved ones, to re-arm morally.
Only by going back to the very foundation upon
which this world was founded, those principles of bro
therly love, honesty, faith and courage, can we ever
achieve lasting peace throughout the world for men and
nations. It is true mans wisdom has failed. We have
come to the place where we need a higher power.
AS this old year draws to a close let us each examine
ourselves to see where we have failed to live up to the
high standards we may have once aspirea to.
Let US vow to achieve them in 1910.
And even though the world may crumble we may
still have peace in our hearts.

Where The Money Goes

Seven hundred and lightweight million dilars seems
q lot of money for. this country to spend for armament
when we don't ever expect to get into another war un-
less it be in defense of our own homes. @ ~
However, it doesn't seem such a lot of money when
compared to the fifty hundred millions of dollars this
/, country spends for whiskey. Yes, this country
spends five billion dollars of money for liquor annually.
This figures $125 per family per year.
mississippi, Kansas and Oklahoma are still the
only three states in the Union that let whiskey go sco'
free of all taxes. Yes, the people continue to pay from
"a tos75 cents per pint more for bootleg whiskey In dry
Mississippi, than they pay in other states liquor stores)

Abraham Lincoln in a letter to
one Of his Illinois friends written
August, &c, 1863, gave his answer
to northern critics of the Enamel
Patton Proclamation. Here are a
couple of the important para
graphs. Notice what he says about
Negro and white soldiers.
q know as fully as one can know
the opinions of others, that some
OF the commanders Of our armies
in the field, who have given Us
our most important victories, be-
lieyo the emancipation policy and
the aid Of eolored troops constitute
the heaviest blows yet dealt to the
rebellion, and that at least one of
these important successes could not
have been achieved when it was
but for the aid of black soldiers.
Among the commanders holding
these same views are some who
have never had any affinity with
what is called abolitionism, or with
republican party politics; but who
hold them purely as military opin-
ion. | submit their opinion as be-
ing entitled to some weight against
the objection often urged that
emancipation an arming the blacks
are unwise as military measures,
and were not adopted as such in
good faith"
"You say you will not fight to
free Negroes. Some Of them seem
willing to fight for you, but no mat
ter. Fight you then exclusively to
save the union. | issued the pro-
clamation on purpose to aid you
in saving the Union. Whenever you
shall have conquered all resistance
to the Union, if I shall urge you
to continue fighting, it will be an
apt time for you to declare that
you will not fight to free Negroes.
I thought that, in your struggle
for the Union, to whatever extent
tho Negroes should cease helping
the enemy, to that extent it weak
ened the enemy in his resistance to
you? Do you thing differently?
