our 5th column. But do feel that
America should awaken to the fact
that we might fight.
Too long in America have we
assumed that all our own people
realized that our form of govern
ment was the best in the world.
Too long have we relied upon our
two natural defenses, the Atlantic
and the Pacific, to guard us
against the eternal struggle OF the
old world.
We must now awaken TO the
fact that many of our own people
question Wheeler in these times or
aeroplanes and radios a demo-
cracy can meet the complex prob
lens of today.
Cnly recently in Globe certain
man. being examined for citizen
ship in answer to question OF
what he thought of the democratic
form of government, answered
that he thought what we needed
was a Hitler. This belief on the
part of this man and many others
can be met only by convincing
them that American under our
Democratic form of government is
the greatest nation on earth. we
need more nationalism and more
peSSle VITO will take the attitude
of. 81 hope my country is right
but my country, right or wrong
my country"
We must awaken to the TACT
that our two natural defenses, the
Atlantic and the Pacific are not
=ufficient in and of themselves to
preserve our democracy.
These problems can be met, and
will be met by America, but IN
order to do so each of us must
dedicate ourselves to the task OF
fighting for that cause for which
our soldiers gave up their lives. ii
need be, we must form 9Th col
umn to combat the insidious
teachings and propaganda of the
5th column.
AS to the danger to our nation
] from actual invasion, we must
realize that our nation can nc
longer re,y upon our oceans and
prepare to defend our country sc
well that no nation will dare at
tempt such a move. We must see
that our nation is prepared ade
quately to defend the principles
for which they died; we must also
see that the money SO spent goes
into necessary armaments and moi
into the pockets of grafters and
teaches. We must also be willing
to bear our just share of the taxes
necessitated by such a program.
In closing | repeat, let us resolve
that these dead shall not have
died in vain; that this nation, un-
der God shall have a new birth of
Freedom; and that Government of
the people, by the people and for
the people shall not perish from
the EARTH

AFTER MANY YEARS
By {. T. SHORT

Development was accomplish
ed with WPA assistance. APP
proximately $4,000 In federal
funds was spent In the de-
velopment OF the park and In
the construction of the mu-
scum and other buildings.
The site is famous as the
camping place OF voyagers OF
the Hudson's Bay company and
pioneers OF the west. At the
junction of the two great rivers
of the west, its low banks made
an ideal landing place for those
who navigated those streams.
1t is chiefly noted. however, as
the spot where the explorers,
Lewis and Clark, guided by the
Indian girl, Sacajawe, camped
on their exploration of the
Northwest in 1909. The party
spent several days there, rest
ing and preparing to continue
the journey down the Columbia.
1t is proposed to fill the mu-
scum with relics of the old west,
including those commemorative
OF the Indian tribes. Several
contributions have been made
and other valuable additions are
In prospect.

of civic celebrations why doesn't
the Chamber of Commerce take
action on the remaining Of Pa
cific avenue, Rainier Boule-
ward ?" Much favorable pub
licity that is now being lost
would accrue from this step.
Now these few remaining weeks
before the official bridge open
ing is the opportune time for
this
II this city really wants to
score the biggest scoop in north
west history it would do well to
adopt the name Rainier" per-
manently as the city name.
Think of the possibilities! The
word Rainier" is already
famous throughout the nation
because of its many uses. We
have Americas premier scenic
attraction. Mt. Rainier; in the
world of sport there is the
Rainier baseball team. The
adoption of Rainier" would
eclipse anything this state has
ever seen It would gain more
publicity for this city than any
Hollywood press agent ever
dreamed of. And it goes with
out saying that this city of
destiny could use some publicity.

ANOTHER DEFINITION OF
SO-CALLED COMMUNISTS"

Editor, The Times: Under the
caption of What are Com
munists,' an article appeared in
a recent edition of The Times,
in which the writer, striving
laboriously for definition,
stated that "a communist was
a professional working man with
a short circuited mind"
His definition is wrong on
many points, the first OF which
is that laborer may not prop
erly be called professional"
Secondly, communist doesn't
necessarily have to be a laborer.
He could be a cultured gentle
man, occupying a seat of learn
ing in some university. He could
also hold some position of i'm
portance in the government -
according to the Dies committee.
He referred to a communist
as being nearly always shabby,
slightly hungry looking and hold
ing a vast contempt for anyone
with enough ambition to keep
clean and invest in an occasion
al haircut"
One wonders il he has not
read in the newspapers of ex-
elusive communist clubs in
which the members, in addition
to being well fed and well
dressed. wear white gloves and
high silk hats. Does he not
know that in this country the
Reds have an organization which
is open 10 only clerical
workers?
Millions OF men fitting his par
ticular definition are jewellers
of the slums, inhabitants Of
jails,. bread lines: those who fill
the mission halls and welfare
offices.
These people are not COM
munists. They existed long be-
fore the cult known as COM
munism. Their numbers fluetu-
ate. depending upon the eco
nomic conditions, and not as
the result Of agitators who seek
TO find new devotees for their
particular dogmas. d. X.

Right or Wrong
About People
BY DONALD A. LAIRD,
Ph.D., sci.D.
Author Of Increasing Personal
Efficiency"

There are about five million
persons In the u. 6. who viii
have difficulty going to sleep
tonight. Somewhere around 10
per cent OF these will be some.
what apprehensive about this
apparent trouble - and usually
their apprehension Is groundless.
A favorite home remedy TO
help 20 TO sleep is to take q
brisk walk or some energetic
setting-up exercise Mt bedtime.
The notion which leads TO ex-
ercises to prepare for better
sleep is that the workout will
make people 90 tired they will
sleep like a puppy which has
played itself out.
This notion is wrong on sew
eral counts. Genuine physical
fatigue often keeps people
awake. resulting in muscular
tenseness rather than relaxation.
The bsfore-going -to-bed exer-
eises may make one wider awake
than not taking them.
In addition. what usually
keep people from going TO sleep
promptly on going 20 bed are
thoughts. lingering excitement,
even worry about not going 10
sleep. Physical exercise will not
change these conditions.
The best preparation for
night OF good sleep il TO calm
down mentally. Relaxation for
q haf-hour before going TO bed
will encourage this.
Exciting peading. stimulating
radto programs. entertaining
conversation and parties are
natural enemies OF sleep. They
put the mental machine in high
gear while il should be in low
gear to get in the proper frame
OF mind for going 10 sleep and
for sleeping without disturbance
the night through.
The same works with children
as with adults. A bedtime romp
Is much enjoyed by the young
sters but It is not good for their
sleep. BY all means, have the
riotous romp with them, but
time II 70 there win be a hair
hour for them 10 calm down
before going TO bed.
The old-time iullables were
helpful for sleep since they had
calming powers.
So. don't take that workout.
Tune in some lullaby music on
the radio instead.

Prosecutor Dewey is supposed
to have tapped scores OF wires
in his prosecution OF New York
racketeers. including many
democratic politicians tele-
phones. In Philadelphia the
Republicans are understood to
have tapped the wires of Jack
Kelly. the democratic boss in
the city Of Brotherly Love"
In Rhode Island the Democrats
are charged with tapping the
telephones Of Republican prose-
cutors and vice versa. In Cali
fornia the governor 10 charged
with having planted q dicta-
phone in the bedroom Of the
speaker of the house. In short,
there appears to have been in
recent years an epidemic Of
telephone cheating.
Mr.. Dewey, it is understood,
has been q chief offender in
this line. He has tapped phones
of criminals and politicians in
New York, and the lines of
hideaways supposedly unknown.
So the Democrats on Capitol
Hill plan to smear him for his
tapping of telephones, and to
spare Messrs. Hoover and Ickes.
President Roosevelt's declara-
ton OF a limited emergency"

Thousands of non commits

have reached the period of re-
tirement after 20 years of duty.
Ordinarily. they would retire

500 a month. If it were not

proclamation, they could enter
private employment. and be-
come self-supporting citizens.
Under F. d. RS proclamation
of a limited emergency" they
must serve at one-third their
regular salary. They must stay
in the navy, respond to all
orders shifting them around the
world and, naturally, they have
no chance to accept private en-
ployment offers.
There is, of course, no pros
pect of mutiny among the
thousands of men who have
been dragooned into service in

DEMINDER of the days be-

totem poles, the final creation
of the late Chief William Shell

was put aboard a truck and
sent to its new site at the state

as an animal or bird, the latest
totem tells of 16 stories, each
with a different moral.
Corresponding in Indian lore
to Aesop's fables, the stories
were used by the Indians TO
teach children fundamental
rules OF life. Predominant col
ors are Indian red and black.
Chief shelton designed il. he
said. to lead TO better harmony
between the red man and the
white.
There WAS a time when max

mans desire for something new
and the tempting offers to the
indians soon made them objects
of banter and trade.
