could have told the head Of ths
nation what any other American
citizen is at liberty to tell that
head. He could have disagreed
with any decision, any course.
But as it has turned out, this
subordinate officer could no.
take what he was giving, he ran
out on his outfit at the first show
Of answering opposition from thu
person and the forces which he
himself started opposing first.
We simply do not relish that
Lindbergh performance: it shows
that his good grace is as poor as
his diplomacy. He is pro-fascist,
and he ought simply to have said
so, when he came back from Ger
many, and left himself outside of
our armed forces. IT is not
crime to be pro-fascist. 1t is just
foolishness. But they do not
hang people for being foolish,
even when they speak their
foolishness daily Cin times Of
peace). If war starts, that will
all be another matter, must be
another matter.
Who would want to be led by
Lindbergh into a dogfght, which
he has already decided that he,
that we cannot win?
His gospel is the gospel that
has already ruined Ia nations in
Europe, nations who are lost
for generations, unless Britain
and America should win this war
and save themselves and free
those nations and nationalities.
What is the use of telling us that
we MAY BE lost if we fight
against tyranny? We are SURE
TO BE LOST, if we do not fight
against tyranny. What is the
ise III saying TO us that we are
sure to lose if We support Bri-
ain. when we know that we are
also sure to lose if we do not
support Britain?
We should much prefer to lose,
standing and fighting, than to
lose sitting Or crawling. We know
we have a chance if we fight. We
know we have no chance if we
won't fight under any circumstan-
ces. We, excepting Lindbergh
and a few of that sort, do not
want the fascist to win this war;
we do prefer British culture and
manners to that and those of the
Hitlerltes and the followers of
Mussolini. There are no angels
in this affair, but we do not have
to choose the worst of the devils.
We Americans are not angels, but
most Of us that are in our right
minds prefer Washington to Ber-
lin. New York to Hamburg.
Lindbergh has done the army a
great service by separating him
| self from it.

W. MITCHELL, CONGRESSMAN

cannot simply put the Negro OUT
of Pullman; they must put him
INTO another Pullman.
This decision is as basic and as
far reaching as was the Gaines
Case, in the matter of education
al equality-rights, in the case
from Missouri.
In El Paso, Texas, which is less
than 90 miles from the New
Mexico border, the railroads
would make colored passenger
pay full pullman fares to, say,
Albuqrrque or Los Angeles, and
then refuse him the right to take
his seat or berth until he had
travelled the few miles from Ell
Paso and had actually entered
New Mexico, which has no travel
jim-crow laws. That meant, that
when a Negro bought his sleeper
ticket, and the train was not to
leave until II 80 OF IL midnight,
the white passengers could could
get into their berths in Ell Paso
at $40, when the car started in
Ell paso; but the Negro passen-
gers would have to sit up until
1880 or 1900 midnight, when
the train entered New Mexico.
A little less than two years
ago, we told the ticket agent in
Ell Paso that that practice was
as much against law as it is de-
cency and commonsense. He shot
back at me: well. you can't do
anything about it. It's the law
here. See, your congressman
(speaking Of Arthur Mitchell) has
not been able to do anything
about it, / remarked but he
will do something about it if he
carries his case to the Supreme
/ Court, which will support your
segregation, but will not support
your charging Negro passengers
the same fares and giving them
less for their money. At that
time, Mitchell's case had been lost
in the lower courts. It was also
turned down lhy tbs Interstate
Commerce Commission. But the
Supreme Court! Long may she

BY II. A. MCKENZIE
Final action in the Paulding
County election contest case was
taken May when Secretary Of
State John f.. Sweeney removed
the county Election Board mem
bers and the Clerk Of the Board.
Secretary Sweeney followed the
recommendation Of paulding
County grand jury, with the ex-
ception that letters Of resignation
were requested from two MEM
bers instead of summary dismis-
sal. The exceptions were made,
Secretary Sweeney stated, for the.
reason that one member was out
Of the state when the recount,
which caused the grand jury in
vestigation, was made, and the
other member had refused 10
sign te election certificate for a
County Engineer, which act was
later upheld by the Court of Com
mon Pleas when it removed the
Engineer, after a recount had
been made.
Secretary Sweeney has now

Hugh johnson as an officer in the
Reserve. Agreeing or disagreeing
with Colonel Lindberg on inter-
national affairs is not involved
AS long as freedom Of speech ex-
lists, and this country continues
free and at peace, Colonel Lind
berg has the right to express his
opinion on public affairs. The
President, occupying the highest
cffice in the land, should rise
above resorting to personal at
tacks against those who disagree
with his policies and have the
.ollage TO express their opinions
publicly. The question Of whe-
ther this nation shall involve it
SELF in foreign wars is legitimate
" before the country pnd its
citizenship for free discussion and.
wise decision. It is onfy through
a free and open discussion Of the
problem that a wise decision can
be reached. Many here believes
that President Roosevelt is not
making a good start toward ex-s
tending freedom OF speech to all
people of all the earth when he
resorts to attacks against those in
America who exercise their right
Of free speech to disagree with
Presidential policies. The refusal
Of the President tofrecommission
General johnson in the Officers
Reserve simply added fuel to the
flames Of criticism Of Mr.. Roose-
velt, as General Johason has also
taken leading part against much
Of the Administration program.
That the present Conscription
Law will soon be overhauled and
materially changed now seems
certain. It is expected that the
War Department recommends
tions will be sent to the Capitol
within the next few weeks and
that changes in the present law
will be acted upon within the
next thirty days. A real argu-
ment is developing as to whether
the minimum age for induction
into military service should be
eighteen or twenty-one. 1t is re-
ported that high Army officials
want the minimum age limit drop
ped to eighteen, but most Con-
gressional expressions heard are
to the effect that boy too young
TO vote is too young for conscrip-
ton. A strong demand is also
heard for a provision in the law
to permit young men to select the
year in which they will enter
military training so as to least
interfere with their pursuit Of a
higher education.
And speaking of the draft, or

suggestions that something should

through compulsory training Of
young womena program follow
ed at the present time only in
Nazi Germany, Communistic Rus
sia and Facist Italy. There is
practically no support for such a
program among national legisla-
tors here. 1t is the general be-
lief OF those in Congress that the
girls and women Of America can
and will do their full share to-
ward national defense without the
necessity Of conscripting them, or
OF placing them in government
training camps.
