LIFE IN WORDS

The setting was in Pennsylvania.
the time being November 18th, about
close to three quarters of a century
ago, the occasion was the dedica-
ton of a national cemetery. Thous-
ands of folks had gathered in this
spot, coming from near and far, to
listen to a famous orator of that day
deliver the main dedicatory address.
This he did, speaking very eloquent
ly for two hours. After he finished a
tall gaunt and dark-bearded man,
wearing a high silk hat, stepped to
the front of the speakers platform
From notes hurriedly jotted down on
the back of an envelope, he too spoke
but for only approximately three
minutes. AS he finished and re-
sumed his place the crowd remained
silent and seemingly untouched. One
might think they were still wrapt in
the 'throes of the two hour eulogy.
But history seems to have proven
otherwise. They must have been
passionately impressed by the rather
homely man who in 270 words,
spoken in three minutes, uttered
such beauty that IS years finds this
oratory ranking with the worlds
greatest speeches. So Lincoln in his
Gettysburg address paid honor in
words so famous that they marked
the man as they marked his nation.

Secretary of the Treasury, Henry
Morganthau, Jr., proposes five per
cent payroll tax to be paid by the
employee and 5 percent by the en-
ployer. Mr.. Morganthauis reason
for the proposed increase-that it
will curb spending and incidentally
prevent initiation is not true. Mr..
Morganthau should know that with
out a ceiling on wages within six
months workers will be demanding
an increase in pay equivalent to the
tax and will thus escape the tax and
defeat the purpose of the law. The
real purpose back of the proposed tax
is to raise more money for defense
bills. The collections made from en-
ployeeS are not carried in a fund
intact until they are needed for old
age pensions. As soon as they are
paid in they are turned into general
revenues and defense bonds put in
their place. After the war is over
We will be taxed again to take up
the bonds in the old age pension
fund. We are not questioning the
necessity or the ACCESSIBILITY of a tax
for defense, but we dislike to see it
promoted as a brake to initiation
when the facts are that under the
present set-up it cannot function in
that capacity.

MARRIED OR SINGLE?

A recent statement made by an ed
ucator caught our attention and we
pass it on to you. He believes that
married men have a higher morale
Ghan single ones, meaning that mar
ried men can more ably weather the
storms of life, facing economic up
sets with more readiness for trouble
ahead A Kennewick cynic will say
that that is all he has had! But
marriage brings responsibilities with
making dollars count for homes,
families, educations and all sorts of
money obligations that confront the
institution. The bachelor is rather
apt to be independent and is hurt
ing usually only himself if he gives
up the fight. He must hang on for
his own sake Due to this freedom
from marriage responsibilities, when
real trouble hits him smack in the
face he feels it more keenly and
having no port and lonesome, he
has difficulty in keeping up his
morale. At least the subject, brought
up for discussion at the family round
table, will lead to debate.

IN TRAINING

It's not just the fighter groomed
for the ring, the horse tended for
the race, the team pointing for the
big game, who can be so exclusive
as to not admit the cow into the cir
Gle for championship. Rural Ameri-
ca is being cow-conscious in order TO
place her for record production in
~. They hope that each cow will
cooperate. The farmer is informed
that of all the farm commodities
the most urgent need is for milk and
so bossy COW is getting greater at
tention as she chews her cud, and
it is probably a diet-wise cud at that.
We read that the cow who gets suf-
ficient grain and concentrated feed
gives more milk. With condensed
and evaporated milk, cheese, butter
and dry skim milk as items to be
increased as the cows share for do
mestic consumption and for ship
ping to England, it indicates that the
cows around Kennewick are apt to
find themselves already in the de-
Tense army, or as they put it Car
senal for democracy"

AMERICANS ARE LUCKY

Suppose the mythical man from
Mars came up to you some day ano
asked you if you were an American
You'd say YES" of course. Then
suppose he asked you another ques-
ton:
What is an Americana"
Perhaps your answer would be
something like this-or maybe you
can improve upon it:
I'm an American" you'd say
when I hear an airplane, I don't
look around for the nearest bomb
proof shelter. I know that it's carry
ing people and goods for the purpose
of peacetime progress.
Tim an American. I know that my
newspaper and my radio will give me
a fair picture of what's happening in
the world, to the best Of their ability

where the teachers aren't merely
vassals of the state-Where the facts
that are taught my children help to
make them better, more intelligent
citizens.
"I'm an American. I can talk
freely Win my 1rlelQS, expressing
my own opinions on both political
and non-political subjects, without
the fear that there are spies who
listen to my every word and then
report it to some high and secret
tribunal"
You'd probably say these things
and more besides. And saying them
would, in these. troubled times, make
you realize something else, so that
you'd come to say lust one thing
more:

We are not in favor of an Ameri-
can eXpeditionary force at this time
We believe that the country can bet
ter serve the cause of democracy and
her Allies by using it's man power
to build equipment. Both Britain
and Russia have ample man power
but do need material. IF we send
our men to a foreign soil to fight
they can't produce equipment. Un-
til We have every warehouse and
flying field filled with equipment,
and every arsenal filled with am
munition, both here and in England,
it is our opinion foolish to think of
sending abroad in an army men who
can be used in the manufacture of
needed material. This is not with
the thought Of Sinking any respon-
sibility. It appeals to us as the wisest
course.

WE ARE THANKFUL

WE AWE 1I1fa1fNrOh
WE ARE THANKFUL that the
great majority of us who irl1abit
the earth today have an expanding
conscience that is beginning to eff
fectively revolt against the use of
talents, strength and resources to
destroy the beautiful, orderly, gift
laden world supplied us for our en-
ioyment to revolt against the
shooting, robbing, torturing and
numbering of each other.
WE ARE THANKFUL that we
see, though much too vaguely as
yet, that it is not the will of a God
of justice and mercy that millions
should die to insure the dominion of
q few; nor that the world should
be run as a gamble in which young
men must die so that greedy old men
can have their way.
WE ARE THANKFUL that this
expanding conscience of ours makes
us ashamed to feel pity for Isaac be-
ing taken to be sacrificed, while we
pitch millions of our own boys head
long into today,s world sacrificial
Jackpot.
We ARE THANKFUL, deeply
thankful, for the vision that shows
us the illusary and unreal substance
of class, race, color and creed bar
rierS, and for our somewhat slower
awakening to the knowledge that
nationalistic boundary lines are
equally artificial.
WE ARE THANKFUL most of all
for a young Hebrew named Jesus, in
whom it was revealed that the ulti-
mate wisdom of the world is the ac-
ceptance of the brotherhood of all
men; giving us the only honest,
practical, realistic and workable de-
sign for living-The Friend.

The tide is rising against the radi-
cal labor leader racketeer. Jurisdic-
tional strikes in defense industries
are rapidly turning public sympathy
away from labor. While the public
recognizes that the agitation is most
ly on the part of radical labor lead
ers it feels that the rank and file
of labor is not without blame. The
public feels that the rank and file
of labor can clean up its organiza-
tion and should do it. Until such
an effort is made the public will con-
tinue to believe that the leaders are
doing what the rank and file of la
Dor desire them to do.

The finest piece of work being done
in this country today is being done
by the women who are sewing and
knitting for the Red Cross. In every
town and village throughout the
nation under fine leadership, they
are giving generously of their time

garments for the needy of this
country and Europe. No pay is ask
ed or received by any one. It is a
wonderful service organization that

But If the sofa is off-center in

case, avoid pairing its tables.
Instead, try pieces of different

example, and a piecrust, or a
commode table and a canter-

a smaller pembroke are a good
combination.
