Declaring no worthy end ever
was gained by unworthy means,
Rabbi Albert I. Gordon of Min
neapolis made stirring appeal
for peace and for better under
standing among races, creeds and
nationalities in an address Thurs
day evening.
His subject was present Day
Challenges to Democracy" but in
his discourse he went back to Old
Testament times to point out that
the problems of today were the
problems also of Abraham, Jacob,
Moses and jeremiah.
The reason modern day dicta-
tors come in conflict with church.
es and their leaders, he said, is
because churches know but one
God. This was the problem of
Abraham who departed from his
forefathers' faith in idols.
"Ours is a religious civiliza-
tion,' he declared, 1.-THE whole de-
mocratic idea comes from the
Bible which teaches that man was
created in the image of God"
Turning to Jacobs example of
love of peace, he advised his aud
fence to ''Think of war in the
terms of your sons-of your own
families" He also quoted material
from textbooks used in German
schools, "Glorifying war to a point
hitherto unheard Of" We must
guard against this type of pro-
paganda in our own country, he
declared.
Perhaps the Rabbits strongest
point, made in his denial of pro-
paganda that Jews want war,
was his question: "Who would be
our allies?" He then eliminated:
Russia, where churches have
been prosecuted much as in Ger
many? Poland, Rumania, other
nations where anti-semitic an
tagonism has been great? Eng
land, whose promises have so
often been repudiated?"
Moses problem was the free
dom of his people which is an
other challenge of today as dicta-
tors are on the march, he pointed
out. "Jeremiah's was that of JUS
tice for them. He recognized it as
his duty to speak out, to call at
tention to society's errors and to
seek to make the world better

He was surveying a six-inch

a very decided kink near the bot

the top was between six and eight
feet from where it ought to be.

a return to normally are far more
serious and fundamental and can be
solved only by constant application
and the utilization of the best minds
(not the best minds of 1921 to 1889.
The chaos in Europe is not caused
by the fact that Germany is expand
ing, the forces at work in Europe are
the same as those at work here and
Europe has tried to solve them by a
war economy, it is the easiest way
but it can only end in disaster. Those
who went through the World war and
travelled much in Europe can easily
understand why the minds of So
called World war babies are crazed.
In my opinion a great number of
Europeans have lost all conception
of justice. Yet, the affairs of all
countries can only be solved by eco
nomic and industrial justice. Jus
tice will eventually reaSsert itself
but it can take several generations.
Civilization won't perish although
there may be am awful mess. The
world can stand a whole lot and still
turn.
Here in the United States an honest
attempt has been made to face the
problems and to tide things over
until an adjustment can be made
1t is true that the naval and military
forces have been expanded, but we
have not resorted to a war economy.
Soon another election will be under
way. 1t is time to think and face
reality and not to try and escape
from it.

The WPA Strike

For the past several days thousands
of WPA workers throughout the state
have been on strike in a protest
against what they term is starvation
wage situation and too long hours
for that wage. Their assertion is
true. Their wages aren't enough to
maintain a decent standard of living,
but neither is the wage of the farmer,
who works longer hours and in many
cases gets smaller wages. There is
a situation to iron out and it is a
situation which has been worked on
for many years by liberal leaders
throughout the nation, but apparently
to no avail.
Let us say the situation is not just,
but on the other hand let us ask if
a strike, which has caused thou
sands to be ousted from WPA rolls
by authorities in compliance with a
ruling, is well advised. True, it reg
listers a protest, but it came as a
surprise to authorities and to con-
gress Nothing could be gained by
it in the way of better wages and
more happy hours before thousands
had lost their status. Leaders of the
movement should have protested and
threatened first, before calling the
strike, and should have endeavored
to make it clear to congress and
to authorities that they had griev-
ance
Surely, they will say that such
protest could do no good, but then
maybe the action taken has done no
good, except possibly to injure WPA
workers little bit more in the eyes
of public opinion. We hope the trou-
BILE will be ironed out and that the
rank and file of labor will not suffer
We hope also that those certain SOAP
box orators, who are always ready to
''sell their wares of hatred" at such
times will not be too much in evil
dence.
The strikers, certainly, have not
been getting enough for a decent
standard of living, but neither die
they before WPA money was spent
and neither will they if the teeth in
the law upholds their suspension from
further earnings on its rolls.
We would have our government
keep peace on earth by arbitration
let's settle our own disputes by arbi-
tration 1t will do no good, bu
rather a lot of harm to fight over
them.

A SERIOUS SITUATION

Editor ASkov American:
Ten years have now gone by since
the depression struck and consider
able water has gone underneath the
bridge. The Farmer-Labor party has
come to power and lost it. The New
Deal, such as we know it, is on test.
The trouble, in my opinion, is that
people generally do not understand
the gravity of the situation and many
hope that some morning they will
wake up and everybody will be re-
employed and that everything will
be like it was in the so-called good
old days.
But the things that are preventing

We dairy farmers represent old

/ see where former governor, Will
liam LANCER, has lost caste with the
voters in North Dakota. In other
words, 'the old gray mare amt what
she used to be-" His special election
which he forced upon his successor in
office, is going about six to one against
what he would have it go.
LANCER campaigned during the last
campaign on $40 pension platform.
His platform won but he was washed
off it in the flood of votes. That left
the new governor, John Moses, who
opposed the pension to devise a way
to finance it.
LANCER then got busy and circu-
lated petitions to call special cleo
ton to pass a gross income or trans
actions tax and apparently the peo-
pie are tired of their sales tax and
are turning thumbs down on it. Then
Mr.. LANCER wanted the people to pass
a two-year highway construction
moratorium, but apparently also the
deer peepul want to use their auto
mobiles with reasonable degree OF
satisfaction during those two years
and turned thumbs down on it.
Then North Dakota's foremost
politician wanted the people to vote
system of municipal liquor stores
but apparently the WCTU don't want
drinking there. Lastly he wanted
them to vote to abolish the office OF
grain storage commissioner but un-
doubtedly the farmers have the grass
hoppers licked, for they also are stub
born and want to keep him around
Anyway, MIR. LANCER did accomplish
one thing and that was to keep in
tact his policy of keeping himself
before the public but special
elections are not put on for nothing
in these days of high priced enter
tainment.
Then too, North Dakota voters
proved themselves consistent by vot-
ing down the gross income tax .
just a short time ago they voted to
retain the sales tax; short time before
that they voted against the nominal
ton of William LANCER for Governor
in the primary and then elected him
in the fall after the crops were har-
vested Then to cap the climax, in
my memory, they voted to recall Lynn
j. Frazier from the governorship and
then almost within the same moon
voted to send him to Washington as
their United States Senator where he
has been in the big money ever since
by their hand. IT'S a funny world
but those North Dakoty voters help
no end in the mirth

Then they talk about the surplus
of dairy products. 1t would be far
better to trade that surplus for what
ever it would bring in oleo and then
feed the oleo to victory dinner patrons
after an election.

Well, I suppose the oleo manufac-
turers have to live too, but there really

more than is the regular routine, by
feeding 'em the stuff.

Then on top of it all, Uncle Sam
mic, the old sucker, or whatever they
call a politician, comes out in the
country just before voting time and
many times right in the midst OF
chore time, and promises the dairy
man that most assuredly there will
be something done for him if he is
returned to power. Certainly he does
something for him s. he has done
so much already, that old Johnny
dairyman almost has to pay for a
pound of coffee on the 12-month in
get someone to give him credit.

prisoners, then holy smokes, let's send
them down to help pick cocoanuts
and also some of those who spon-
Sor the feeding.

I heard one day of an attempt of
merchants in a little village to keep
the price of strawberries up by re-
fusing to acceed to surrounding mar
ket prices. They continued to pay
one and two cents more for the pro-
duct so that growers could get more
of just wage for their work. How
ever, a few in that community, who
by word of mouth always seemed to
feel for the common man and the
farmer, went to neighboring COM
munity and purchased their straw
berries.

to see them start another ''Matanuska"

Poor Governor Stassen! He is suf-
fering from that hindrance to a
heaven on earth. F. too much self
tits. More than six hundred thousand
people voted for him in the last cleo
ton, but one would think now, that
about five hundred and ninety mine
thousand of them did so with the
idea that they wanted job. He
is being condemned roundly for his

workers.

warnings and in spite of all the
good intentions, some celebration is
certainly going to be carried on.
Fireworks burns are more pain
full than other burns because of the
chemicals carried into the wound.
In treatment of these burns certain
acids and oils are generally pre-
scribed by the doctor.
Deep Lacerations
In deep decorations the doctor is
sure to bring up the advisability of
using tetanus antitoxin as preven-
tive of lockjaw. The decision is usu-
ally up to the parents.
Certainly in any doubtful case,
where there is a possibility of street
dirt having contaminated the wound
tetanus antitoxin should be used. 1t
seems a shame that people should
hesitate = because of the ancient
prejudice against a "serum" - to
give their children the benefit OF
protection against lockjaw, because
rare as the disease is and remote as
