THINK 1T OVER
HE Relinquishes All to Serve the
Republic"

A United States senator, speaking
as part of the Farm and Home Hour
on April 18th, referred to our coun-
try as THE last great bulwark OF
Democracy"
This statement assumes that this
government is one of a series of
Democracies, each patterned more
or less like all the others. The fact
as | see it is that our Fathers,
thorough students of government,
We're cognizant of the strength and
weaknesses of all the existing forms
of government Of the Old World.
Thew knew that none of these were
adaptable; nor could be reconstruct
ed to carry out their ideals of free
dom Of body and soul, such as they
outlined in their Declaration of In
dependence. This was to be a new
nation, created on an entirely new
conception of government.
| quote from DR. Emmett Fox,
clergyman, student of government
the world over, one who was a cit
izen of England until we'll toward
middle life, and now for some years
in this country has been doing his
full share in Strengthening the spir-
itual background on which this
country must depend for its ex-
istence.
THE United States is not merely
one more nation added to the list
of nationalities. II stands for GER
tain special ideas and special prin-
ciples which have never been def
initely expressed in concrete form
in the world before. These ideas
may be summed up in the concep-
ton of personal freedom and IN
limited opportunity"
Personal freedom and unlimited
opportunity-these were the kew
stones upon which our Fathers built
their conception of liberty. Freedom
was guaranteed to all persons, Civ
ing them the opportunity to make
OF themselves what their abilities

dictated. 1t was upon this noble
conception that America grew great
and powerful, attracting as some
giant magnet the finest minds and
people from all parts of the world
to carve out from new continent
the greatest nation the world has
yet seen.
The right of our children to de-
velop themselves and to be influ-
enced in the home, school and
church, and aspire to any position
in life with no obstruction from
law, is still the meaning of Amer
icanisrn. This is a nation where
ability and hard work bring their
own reward, not the oppression of
the ruling class for all those living
beneath them. This form of gov
eminent has brought more progress
and happiness to individuals than
any other form devised, because ii
is based on human rights-the law
of God.
The Declaration Of independence,
the voice of our freedom, cannot
protect itself against the attacks of
today, unless you and / defend il
with the same determination to
maintain it in its entirety that our
Fathers showed in creating it. Half
hearted efforts will not be effective.
Our dangers are increasing as prop
uganda grows stronger within and
the war zones grow nearer from
without. Family ties, party ties,
friendship, property, all become sec
ondary to the main object: that OF
maintaining our republic.
The motto adopted by the Of
ficers of the Continental Army in
forming their Society of the Gin
cinnati must be the motto of all
Americans
He re1inquishes all to serve the
Republic.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
SPLINTERS
By Ted ArOnsOn
Observation-Disclosures

A southern darkie is supposed to
have said, Dat doctor said if

chicken broth three times day
and stay in out of the night air.
HoW's cullud person goin' to have
chicken broth if he can't get out

1t is surprising how many people
there are who seem to think that
they are entitled to a share of the
nations wealth without working for
it, without paying the price. They
insist that the world owes them a
living. They look with longing eyes
upon the aggregate assets or upon
the national income, hoping that in
some manner it will be distributed
equally among all.
1t is no wonder that the alluring
picture of ease and comfort painted
by the late Huey Long attracted
such large following. And of SIM
liar nature are such schemes as
Sinclair's e. P. |. c. in California,
the Alberta Social Credit plan and
the Ham and Egg proposition. Self
seeking politicians are we'll aware
that a lot of folks are looking for a
one-way ticket to paradise or Uto-
pia, where diamonds, ermine and
garden parties shall be available
for the asking. This longing is akin
to the craze for speculation and
gambling whereby folks hope to get
something for nothing. Before long
they'll expect service station opera
tors to reach into cars to light Gig
arettes and powder women's noses
1t is conceded that wealth and
income are not equitably distribut-
ed, and that equality of opportunity

ening fact is that so many prefer
Handouts" rather than jobs. By
the same token, such people wish to
enjoy the privileges and blessings
of democracy without participating

can not see why there should
be any controversy on the idea of
holiday for the opening day of
fishing season. In the first place
a precedent has already been es-
tabhshed and great deal of ia
vorable publicity and comment has
come to this original day This
j comment is not only local but has
come from states as far distant as
New York and Texas, and certainly
it is we'll known in our own state
Secondly, consider other sections
of the country. Some places where
baseball is the leading sport they
declare holiday the opening day
In Wenatchee they have their ap.
pie festival. Portland it's Rose Car.
nival. Spokane its township day
Great Falls, Kalispell, Missoula
Billings, close up a day for their
fairs. Red Lodge, Deer Lodge, Liv.
ingston, Miles City set aside {
day for their rodeo. In Alaska they
have holiday the day the ice goes
out and even bet on it. A list as
long as Mineral Ave. co.ld be com
piIed OF towns ana clues In TINS
country that set aside certain days
for certain things.
In Libby, as in Lincoln County
the recreation and sport that has
the greatest number of followers
and perhaps our greatest recreation
al asset is fishing. And particularly
does this apply to Kilbrennan lake
So why not have a holiday on the
day that can be used and enjoyed
by the most people in the county?
