WHAT ABOUT SADISM?

We cont help wondering if times Of stress-poitcdl as
well as economic-dont bring out the lotent sodism in most
people. We don't know how true it is that most people hove
q streak Of cruelty in them. but it does seem logical"
Certuinly stories Of first-hcnd experiences with the OGPU
in Russia od the Gestopo in Germany seem to bear out that
this sddism is covered with only q thin veneer OF clWhzatlon.
We're thinking right now Of the book Out OF the Night
which is causing widespread comment. We haven't hdd ON
opportunity to read the complete story yet. but we did get q
look at the excerpts from it in the Readers Digest. od such tales
of horror Guido onythng thut Poe ever wrote.
The Days Ct the inquistion in the middle ages were times
of chance ond unrest. Among the inquisHors were some OF the
most highly civilized people Of their Understanding to ther
lights.
It seems to us thut not since the inquisiton hove so many
apparently wellouthenticdted stories OF mans mhumonltY 10
mon been circulated. -,
Out of the Niqht" isn't pleasant reading, but we'll predict
thot it will be more widely read thdn anY book since Gone
with the Wind" And we wonder when q book With SO
many horrors in it is so popular. doesn't thdt indicate some
thing just q little unpleasant about the American MIND! Sui
Out Of the NIGHT hos many virtues to recommend 1t TO the
ledst bloodthirsty reader. It seems to be well cd v1vldly Will
ten, omd it hos q greet dedl OF vitdl information about the in
side workings of Ndzism dd Communism, with which every
American should be fomiior.
And speaking of "isms" we were in receipt Monddy OF q
most interesting document. We still don't quite have it figured
out. It's English wos fdulty omd the spelling SO poor os to mdke
it louqhoble. That fact clone interested us enough to keep us
reoding to the end.
There wds nothing in it that could be labeled as "un-
American" exactly, but the strange thing wds thdt the WORD
American" wds not capitalized, and when the writer wunted
to discuss the Axis powers, he wus very sure to put q cdpltu
"A" on the front of the latter wore. Maybe it wds Just q slip
of the typewriter. There were plenty Of them in the letter.
Mdybe the thing wds written especially to dlscredlt the ldeos
thot were put forth Ut wds in favor of isolotionism-but whot

HUNTERS o OVERTIME

BROADUS, Feb. 26 -(U.P.)

Powder River county hunters,
some working at night and using
spotlights, are adding to their
winter income by killing rabbits.
The animals, delivered to mar
ket in truck loads and without
skinning, bring from 10 to IS
cents each. The carcaSSeS are
sold for hog feed and the skins
are used in making felt.

THREATENING EPIDEMIC

DR.. L. R. Packard, jefferson cou-

threatened epidemic of scarlet
fever in the county had been
checked, due to prompt action
by teachers, parents and private
physicians. Children found to
have symptoms of the disease
were isolated and a close watch
kept on those who had been eX-
posed to it.

Both are good swimmers. Z.
Diana plays badminton with her
more active friends while Bill
watches languidly from the side
lines. The couple do very little
entertaining. and that is usually
at an outdoor barbecue with Bill
doing the cooking. They say his
steaks and corn-on -the-cob are
something. Ronald Colman and
Richard Barthelmess are still Bills
closest male friends.

And that, too, is satisfied. ). She's

daughter combinations in Hollywood
are those of Ginger and Leila Rogers
and Eleanor and Blanche Powell.
Oddly, both Ginger and Eleanor rose
to fame on the screen through their
ability to dance.
1t is conceded that Ginger Rogers
never would have won the academy
award for best actress of 1910 if it
hadn't been for the perseverance of
a mother who planned her career
from childhood and fought along
with her daughter through vicissi-
tudes that Ginger might never
have overcome Single-handed. Leila
Rogers is just as much a Holly
wood institution as her famous
daughter.
Hardly less important to the ca
reer of Eleanor is Blanche Powell.
She has never been away from her
daughter. She is on the set daily,
usually accompanies her on all So
cial functions. If new dancing shoes
need breaking in, 1t is Mother Powell
who puts them on and taps the
stiffness out. That's real mother

And she discusses them with a
natural charm and interest.
Perhaps that's the one great thing
about the off-screen Garbo - her
complete naturalness. She wears
clothes that are comfortable rather
than fashionable, and whatever she
does she does for its own value,
rather than for its effect.

read this preface. For 1t is an ex-
preston of the wave of emotions
which have swept through and DOM
mated an American mentality that
has been in constant touch with
its time Much more in touch than
the Nazis. whose thoughts. plays
and novels have gained small
audiences here and have won no
Pulitzer prizes.
Mr.. Sherwood has not been a
leader of thought, nor has he gone
off on tangents of his own. His
plays are popular. Their meaning
is accepted by large audiences. He
has been neither ahead nor behind
nor away from the life with which
he has been surrounded. His think
ing is "fashionable'-if I may use
a word I do not like to use because
of its derisive connotations. Since
Mr.. Sherwood and the American
mind have been travelling toward
a future, too, there seems to be a
great deal more reason to accept
them as the wave of the future" in
preference to something sick and
something violently alien to the
healthy mentality.
More Than Hatred.
In the preface. Mr.. Sherwood
says he has stated a great deal OF
himself In Waterloo Bridge" a
play written in 1929, out of his own
memories of his war experience.
1t was a sentimental (not so horribly
sentimental as the movies have
made it, and rather incoherent
anti-war play. but in it, he had his
1917 hero-soldier say:
whats the war anyway? It's
that guy UP there in his airplane.
What do I care about him and his
bombs? What do I care who he
is, or what he does, or what happens
to him? That wars over for me.
What I've got to fight is the whole
dirty world. That's the enemy that's
against you and me"
This is, of course, hatred OF war,
but in its last two lines it contains
an oblique expression Of something
more than hatred. 1t expresses a
love for a way of life that remains
to be achieved. And, If you re-
member, there was a whole wave of
American plays and novels-in fact,
our whole important literature OF
that time-that expressed exactly
this love for a way of life that re-
mains to be achieved.
When the depression settled over
America, it settled on our writer's
minds. too. Mr.. Sherwood wrote the
despairing "Petrified Forest" about
nature using neuroses to take "the
world away from the intellectuals
and give it back to the apes" He
followed this with idiots Delight"
in 1885, in which he characterizes
as BLANK pessimism and desperate
optimism - chaos and jazz" These
moods were reflections of the Amer
ican mentality, at least as far as
that mentality showed itself in its
reading and writing.
Then Came Faith.
Two years later, the depression
had lifted. Chaos was beginning to
fall into some kind of order and
Mr.. Sherwood later was writing ABE
Lincoln in Illinois," a play that
states faith in democracy as a
dynamic of civilization-not merely
as a static and abstract freedom,
but as the only process yet discov-
cred whereby the world could avail
itself of the best that is in its people
Furthermore it expressed an elo-
quent detestation of "appeasement-
the policy of indifference to evil"
AS further evidence Of the fact that
Mr.. Sherwood is in touch with the
mind of his time, it might be noted
that the Munich agreement was
