The Brighter Side

THAT this nation is improving
morally there can be no
doubt. some -think-they still
see reasons for criticism they
should remember that we have
had less than 200 years TO reach
our present state of national
restitude and that is not long as
time in this respect is measured.
We have dispensed with many
things that once gave us low
moral tone in the eyes of other
and perhaps slightly more adj
vanced peoples. We no longer
punish witchcraft by burning.
In fact. we now set up our
necromancers and seers in honor
and profit. but of course under
other names than witches.
WE HAVE done away with
" polygamy, very, the
massacre of Indians and to a
considerable extent with lynch
ings.
That is, we have curtailed
the lawleSs hangings by mobS
that once prevailed in many sec
tons of the country, though we
still permit a certain amount OF
what you might call spiritual
hangings.
We hang souls and minds on
the gibbets of gossip and di-
rected public opinion, but it
must be conceded that this is
great refinement as compared
to taking a human being out
and stringing him to a tree or
a telegraph pole and choking the
life out of him.
The result of the new system
is pretty much the same, except
that it does not destroy the body.
1t just strangles the spirit.
WE have long since abolished
w the stocks and the pillory
for the public display of wrong
doors. The whipping post, the
third degree and capital punish
ment by strangulation, poison
gas and the electric chair are
still with us andT the flogginG
and other inhumane treatment

Aid to Britain

DASER on study and my experience in the
- last World War, my answers to your
three questions are as follows:
IL believe we are already in the war;
think under the emergency existing and the
Presidents recent appeal for mobilization of
all resources that America is now on a war
time basis or should be.
2-Not necessarily. A seventeen-billion-
dollar program for national defense will
throw the fear of God into Mr.. Hitler and his
group of would-be dictators. It's the best
insurance against war. It's the best insurance
against the necessity of sending troops
abroad.
81 think we should give all possible aid
to Great Britain in this emergency and that
ear cooperation now with our atty during the
World War is one of the best means we have
of avoiding attack from without and of coping
with subversive activities within the country
