NO APOLOGY FOR WAR STUFF

No newspaper editor need apologize
for expatiating upon the issues involving
the United States as it faces critical de-
cision in regard to the great war that
threatens to engulf the entire world
There may be important matters for
the editorial mind, such as the outcome of
Saturdays football games, the reSurgence
of ping-pong, and such other sIush, but the
war threatens not only our liberties and the
lives of our young men but even the normal
procedure of profit-making. z4o-sf4q5r-
The outcome of the struggle in Europe
will probably shape the course of the world
and the development Of mankind for hum
dreds of years 1t challnges every person
to combat for their idea of civilization and
threatens destruction to the losers beyond
comparison with more recent wars.

NAZIsM WORSE THAN BoLSHEVISM

For the benefit of those who are I'M
able to see any difference between Nazi
Germany and Soviet Russia, we present the
testimony of DR.. Hermann Rauschning, who
resigned as president of the Danzig Senate,
after an unsuccessful attempt to work with
the Nazi element in the Free City.
National socialism, in his opinion, is
fundamentally alien to the Christian tradi-
ton of the Western world because it is
based entirely on force. Communism, he
admitted, used forceful means in its revolu-
ton but thinks it permits the possibility of
other developments in the future.
The Bolsheviks used force and terror
in a revolutionary phase as means Of
reaching another state but National social
ism believes that force is everlasting. That
is the great difference"

THE FLAME OF POWER
By Arr EsPMoLA

That there are those who can be

By their uhscrupulous mag

Who won't let themselves be
schooled
In righteousness and moral
conservation.
That power is with limitation
Distributed amongst US all.
And no one BY foul means or de-
probation
Can scale that high and
mighty wall
Power hike a Titan fire,
Which has its start from a
tiny flame,
Can not be controlled By ones
desire.
Nor held by ones al-gotten
fame.
A world within Ourselves ara we.
And when with a conscious
clear we rule,

see,
For self-respect IS . power

ousted gamblers will look Key Westward,
but the people of this city do not want that

Sawyer might as well put on his armor right
now and forbid their entry into this, still,
peaceful community.

sideration of a treaty with Great Britain
which would remove from tax rolls equip
