The Sermon

Rev Williams preached from the
23rd chapter OF Proverbs the 7th
Verse: For as he thinketh in his
heart. so is he Subject. "Colored
Thoughts. Our thoughts are col
ored by the qualities Of the mind
and heart in which they originate. .
Fregtag's story Of a farmer whose
thoughts took living shapes as tiny
fairies swarming about his head
binding him somewhat 10 the
things about him These little fair
les were like insects they made a
cloud about his head The cloud
was so thick and 80 binding TO
the farmer that 1t hid from his view
the flowers, the landscape and the
golden sunset. said Rev Williams.
This was a selfish thought obses-
sion that distorted the true picture
in his mind OF every thing else
around him. for as a man thinketh
in his hear. so Is he Many people
are in hell because their minds are
infested with dark thoughts; in hell
because they cannot control the
operations Of their OWE minds and
steer themselves toward God. This
Is true Of our souls and our char
acter This puts the obligation the
moulders Of character. the parents
To build character Alright and the
child will THANK right.
Rev Williams pointed to the
condition of slavery and the mem
tai state Of the slave after enamel
patton. Many reioiced not in their
liberation for they we're told they
would starve and the feeling OF
self reliance had been choked out
by the slave system He pointed 10
the condition to-day where many
OF our people are satisfied TO re-

These people are lost. the pas

IT CAN BE DONE
IN AIRCRAFT FACTORIES
Nevada State JournaO


Skepticism in the aircraft industry as
to possibilities for mass production OIL
airplanes probably arises from lack OF
knowledge of the refinementS developed
in recent wears in the manufacture of
automobiles.
The Liberty airplane engine produced
by the United States automobile indus
try during the World War never Won
much acclaim. Perhaps the memory OF
those days has something to do with the
present attitude of aircraft manutac-
turerS toward quantity production. But
that was 20 Years ago and IN the mean
time the methods and quality of automo-
bile manufacture have changed as much
as the superficial appearance of the We
hicles.
In making the mass-produced and M
terchangeable parts of the modern auto
mobile engine, machines now work TO
minute toerances. The honing of bear
ings is done by machines which detect
AN error of one-mllionth of an inch, an
accuracy which the handicraft methods
still employed in most aircraft manutac-
turing cannot even rival.
If aircraft manufacturing is back
ward" in such matters. it is not the fault
of the techncians, but of lack OF oppor-
tunity to develop quantity methods Man
ufacture has been largely experimental,
Models have changed, not yearly but
continually The market would not per
NIT quantity output of any one model,
even if the keen technical competition
had permitted it.
The big difficulty the layman has fore
seen in mass producing aircraft IS iii the
building of wings and fuSelages, involV-
ing the use of millions of tiny hand-set
rivets But Henry Ford says this can
be overcome by substituting Welding and
brazng. which if true, certainly would
save time.
A greater obstacle may prove finally
to be the conservatism of present aircraft
manufacturers, who we'll might resent
the invasion of their field by mass-pro-
ducing competitors. Their cooperation
is indispensable, however and their pa
triotism is beyond question.

ne WILL BE
HARD TO BEAT

Whether or not it eventually elects
him president, the whole nation-Repuo-
Iican and Democrat alike-should APP
plaud the nomination of Wendell L. Will
kie as COP presidential candidate, for
[ that nomination marks the end of social
ed old line party politics and places par

liberal basis.
The worst thing the Republicans could
have done, for their own party's cause,
wOuld have been to nominate an old line.
reactionary candidate. Of the leaders
among potential candidates, Taft came
nearest fitting this description.
But with Wilkes nomination, the
COP old guard must admit final defeat.
Younger, more vigorous men are taking
over control of the party. 1t is good for
the Republicans-and it is good for the
nation, too AS long as there are two
strong parties in the United States, de-
mocracy will live. When one party dies.
and none grows up to take its place,
there will be an end to democracy.
Willkie will make 4 strong race for the
presidency. He may even be elected. 1t
is too early to say. Too many things
may happen between now and November
to change the complexion of the cam
paign
As II appears now, W Hike strongest
appeal lies in the fact that the nation
needs an executive genius, a man with
almost superhuman administrative abiG-
ty, to guide and direct national defense
preparations with Il minimum of waste
and corruption That Willkie 48-year-
old head of a gigantic utilities concern,
is an executive genius nobody can deny.
Nor can there be any charge OF selfish
greed against a man who. when his cor
poraton directors offered him Il large
increase in his S75.0 900 year salary. re-
fused it because he said, that's more
than the salary Of the President of the
United States. No one in America should

He has too much color to be overlook

Mr.. FARLEY'S MISTAKE

1t isn't often the astute Jim Farley
makes a mistake especially in the realm
Of politics, but the Republicans must
have chuckled over the fact that the
Democratic national chairman's first pub
lie utterance about the Republican party
nominee was Just that. Said Mr.. Farley:
''The question is what sets Of
forces, economic and social, are to con-
duct our government--the historic Am
erican processes. or some new and some
what foreign methods of concentrated
control"
1t sounded as if Mr.. Farley We're read
ing from the typescript of Republican
campaign speech he might have gotten
by mistake.
concentrated control" and foreign
methods" have been the foremost com
plants against President Roosevelt.

being a bit stunned, now that the Repub-
licans have nominated q man who, until
1893, was Democrat. TO hear the Demo
cratic chairman using the words of Re-
publicans to open his top-the-Republi-

Suckers and Signatures

College professors have a time
honored way of impresSing this

have done something like this:
Appearing before their class one
morning with a long petition they
ask the class TO sign it. Sleepy, IN
a hurry, or just careless, they all
do so, without reading the long
petition itself Then the professor
plays his ace: he reads the petition
which all have signed. 1t turns out
that all have agreed to have their

LET'S PRACTICE DEMOCRACY
{ Milwaukee JournaD

A Hungarian newspaper has been sus-
pended for a week because it said things
about the United States offensive to the
American legation at Budapest. The pa
per, which has Nazi leanings, had said
that Americans would elect President
Roosevelt to third term because they
have the minds of children" 1t had also
declared that because Americans 'believe
in riches, therefore they believe in de-
mocracy" The American legation pro-
tested these statements, leading to the
suspension.
We believe that this interference by
American officials in the free expression
of opinion in Hungary is ABSOLUTELY un-
warranted and deserving of drastic action
by Washington. Any American official
who has so little feeling for the freedom
of the press should, in our opinion, be
recalled from his post and dismissed from
public service.
The American legation, acting as it
did, went d long way toward establish
ing to Hungarians the truth of the line
about the minds Of chldren.' Surely it
was the childish act of a Roosevelt parti-
san that led to the entirely inexcusable
protest to the Hungarian government.
