THEOLOGY, MEDICINE AND LAW

THEOLOGY, MEDICINE AND LAW
This trio of professions constitute
the milstone hung about the neck of
modern civilization.
Theology tries to convict the world
of imaginary sins, at the same time
it belittles conscience and disparage
reason.
Medicine attacks the very founda-
ton of health and right living with
poisonous drugs, while it discourage
the God-given remedies SO abundant
ly supplied by nature.
Law throws it's arm of protection
around criminals of every specie,
while it prosecute the innocent and
lays wait for the unwary.

first attacks the Soul, the second the
Body and the third debouches the

FREE LANCE
REFLEX
BY PARKER t. ANDERSON

A book which deals with the settle
ment of Kansas was read during the
recent frowning days of winter and
some of its passages were deeply i'm
pressive. Here is one of them: "And
after the farmers had p1owed and
sown and harvested, had buiIded and
scrimped and dug, along came the
traders and asked the settlers to build
them a town"
This observation is distressingly
familiar to one who thirty years ago
cast his dice upon bit of Montana's
virgin prairie and hopefully waited for
the grass, the grain and the COWS to
roll them into pairs and flushes. That
epic has been written over and over
thousands of times on the broad face
OF the land from coast to coast and
from the Great Lakes to the turbid
waters of the gulf The city is a
gaudy, shimmering thing plucked from
the field, the forest and the mine.
The practice of gypping the land
to serve the town is still going strong
About every town has it's Fork and
Knife Club mainly concerned in pan
handling taxing bodies for selfish ends
and promoting bond issues of doubt

Municipalities pay no county road
levies but have held winning hand
in segregating all gas tax into the
control of the state highway commits
sion. That rural Montanan still wal
lows in the mud can justly be laid at
the door of those insinuating aggrega-
lions known as Lions and Rotary
clubs. AS matter of survival coun-
try towns should naturally try to make
themselves a focal point for farm-to-
market roads to insure all-year-round
trade. Through highways have ten
dency to obliterate small trading
centers and build up the cities. But
this logic is too deep for the mentality
OF the run-of- mine civic club. The
small town business man apes the at
titude and opinions of the town little
bit bigger and the bigger town apes
the city Big town school boards are
skillful in gypping country Reubs out
of educational funds by getting
through the assembly laws hogging
the common school levy, high school
levy fund. Our high school districting
law violates all the canons of taxation
from Adam Smith down. When farm
ers 70 miles away are forced to con-
tribute to the construction of high
school edifice in tall grass town
it is time to throw a Tea Party

BEHIND JAPAN IS GERMANY

The farocity and the sheer terrorism,
the treachery and the vast falthleSSneSS
of Japans attack upon American terri
tory and American citizens last Weekend
bespoke barbarity as horrible as any
displayed by Adolf Hitler'S Germany
during the past two years. 1he careful
planning, many days in advance. and
the diplomatic smile that cloaked the
murderers scowl, spoke Of even more
they were the very weapons Of the NaZlS.
1t is evident today that the attack upon
America was planned as much in Berlin
as in Tokyo. 1t will be evident as time
goes on that Berlin will be the winner
for no matter how short a time-and
Tokyo the loser in this deadly intrigue.
For Japan cannot hope to win anything
for herself; she can hope only to win
respite for the hard-pressed Germans.
and pray that in the end she may feed
upon scraps from the Nazi table.
That the scraps will be bare bones in
the end-the bones of the Haunted Axis,
must be Japan's unending fear And
it must be our prayer, and our determl-
nation.
Japan's fight is Germanys fight, we
might as we'll admit. Should we con-
qter Japan tomorrow, and should Ger
many conquer the rest of the world to-
morrow, then on the day after tomorrow
we would face a revitalized Japan in
which flowed the blood of the Germans.
If we defeat Japan only. We win nothing.
We must see that Germany is defeated
also, or victory cannot be ours.
Whether we declare war on Germany
makes little difference now. The in
pOrtant thing to remember IS that We
did, in effect, declare war on Germany
when we accepted the japanese challenge.
Now our job is to win.

ONLY ONE GOAL NOW
FOR ALL AMERICANS

Life isn't going to he the same from
now on, for anybody.
Last week Americans went their sep
arate ways, arguing, debating boycotting
and applauding as they saw fit. Last
week you could be an iSolationiSt OF an
interventionist; You could subscribe Il
any one of numerous goals You might
believe best for your country.
Today you can argue and debate still.
Tor America by the grace Of God is a
free country still, but today you can be
only one thinP-an American-With only
one goal-to help America win this var.
We are in it together. No matter what
our political beliefs, no matter what our
economic theories, no matter what our
external Sympathies. we have one Job -
do. Win. We will win-of that there
can be little question: And We will Un
the hard way, for there is no easy way
to victory in war. But we will win quick
er, and more decisively, as soon as every
single living American realizes that nor
malcy is out the window now.
Blood and sweat and tears are gong
to be ours. So far we have escaped the
blood, and most of the tearS-but hot
any more. Our friends, our neghborS,
our sons and brothers and husbands, viii
face the supreme sacrifice, and some -
them will make that sacrifice.
No matter what the cost Al home. We
shall win, for we stand willing to pay the
price our freedom imposes upon us. When
a man fights against fatal disease. 80
that he may live, he stops worrying about
the bill He stops worrying about the
look of his clothes, and the new home
he was going to buy. He puts everything
he has into the fight for life. Today
,l1ob fUht and -
people of America are joined in it There
must be no dissention that viii hinder
our victory, there must be 40 greed thal
will impair our national course.
America has a job to do, and by tire
power and the glory that is Americas,
we will do that job War is ours today
only so that victory can be ours tomorroM.
