President Roosevelt in his Labor Day
address pledged Everything in our pow
err to crush Hitler and his Nazi forces.
This sounds ominously like war It is
war Yet is does not mean our boys in dun
garees and khaki are any nearer the fir
ing lines of Europe and Asia than they
were last week.
It is American productivity and resolu-
ton that will go far toward crushing Hit
ler It is Americas face turned like the
Great Stone Face toward a free tomorrow,
and gracious, friendly world and against
the isms which crush the initiative and the
genius of the individual spirit which shall
maintain freedom on these shore and hold
high the torch of liberty to light the sha-
dowed nightmare lands across the troubled

Have YOU ever noticed that the persons
who kick, complain and criticize the most
are usually the persons who really do the
least? And have you ever noticed that there
are some people who prefer to live in coun-
ties other than those in which they were
born and that when they return for occa-
sional visits they undertake to point out
all of the weaknesses and all of the mis-
takes made by the ones who stayed "at
home" and tried to make their communi-
ties and county better place in which to
live? We have very little Sympathy or res
pect for either of these types of individ-
uals. Both of them tend to retard rather
than to promote good fellowship and pro-
gress and to impsoye the general welfare of
all of the people. One of them stays at
home and grumbles, while the other one
moves away, works for and lives in another
community and yet feels free to criticize
often times unjustly those who remain "at
home to do the best job they can for their
home communities No, we don't think
much of either type and we doubt if other
people do either!

A Healthy Generation

When we hear about the great number OF
young men who are rejected by the army
because of their health, it would appear as
though the coming generation was pref
tv freeble group. Heart trouble, tooth de-
fects, and other maladies usually associa-
ted with old age, have been the cause OF
many reflections.
But the Metropolitan Life Insurance
company, which has good reason to make
exhaustive studies of the health of the ma
ton, says that the health of the American
people, including the young men of selec-
tive service age is better than ever before
in history.
Based on study of reflections for poor
health, the Metropolitan company points
out that the chief reason for reflections is
the drastic standards of selection.
"In 1917-18," says the report, "both the
methods of selection and the organization
of the draft were essentially emergency
procedures, developed after we were al
radv at war and committed to raising arm
ing and transporting huge army in the
shortest possible time This situation tend
ed to discourage too rigid standards OF Sc
lection. YET despite the immediate urgency
of the situation in 1918, approximately
one-quarter of the draftees were rejected
ALTOGETHER and nearly one-third were un-
available for general military service.

ton in a country which is sup
posed to be governed by the peo-
pie, would eliminate the need for
a congress altogether. Laws could
be passed or Debated according
to the vote of the people as indl-
Gated by the poll. And congress
would become about as necessary
as our present electorate college
it would just vote according to
instruction as indicated by the
polls.
Such a danger does exist, as
does the even greater danger OF
fraudulent polling, but neither is
sufficient reason for putting any
curbs on scientific experimental
ton with measuring public opin-
ion. Certainly a nation would be
a more perfect democracy If the
will of the people was always a
known quantity in determining
the policies of a government sup
posedly conducted by the peo-
pie and for the people.
