The whole matter could have
been avoided by the use OF I

have been on s~afeground.
Surely, we are not going to win
the war this way. Already, We
have lost much to Japan becaus-
viewed the people of that Ianl
as "inferior". We insisted they
had few planes, a poorer army
and no courage; that once they

blood will be red.

THE COUNTY ATTORNEYS

The County Attorney Is an M
portant official. It is his duty 10
prosecute all persons within the
county who are accused of crime,
and to see that lone is p~rosecut-
ed unless he should be under the
law. In addition the County At
torney is counsel for the county
Of Douglas. He IS required to al
wise county officials as to their le-
gal rights and duties in relation to
county affairs. The deputies in
the office Of the County Attorney
are to do likewise.
For many years the County At
torney and his deputies have been
permitted to engage in private
civil practice to ! large extent;
sometimes, it is said, at the ex-
pense of county service. Be that
as it may, the County Attorney
should devote his whole time to
the County business His deput-
les should do likewise However,
all of them should receive adequate
compensation, and no county at
torney and no deputy should b.
permitted to use the office for

THE RUSSIAN SYSTEM

For many years stories have
been written about Red Russians
Nearly all of them maIigned and
beIittIed Russia and her form Of
government. These stories des-
crihed an unhappy, ignorant neo-
pie; immoraIe, irreIigious, brutal
and hateful. Their economic sys-
tenn was said to be such as to Gre
ate for the people nothing but
misery.
Less than a year ago, Germany
invaded Russia and she resisted
and we now know that her res ST.
ance was superb. Her army stop
ped HitIer's legions cold, then
counter-attacked and has che
mighty German army on the de-
fensive and in retreat.
The whole story about Russia IS
gradually unfolding. Her people
are united; her economic System
has stood the strain Of war, and
soldiers and civilians alike are
willing to die by the millions to
preserve the Russia of today; the
system which until recently we
have been taught to despise.
Our dream of democracy, !
dream we have not seen come true
may be superseded by 4 new Soc
Ial system which will apply in
practice what we long promised
and constantly denied. Russia is
for all Russians who subscribe to
the system under which they live
and have their being .
The leader Of the Russian state
Is an able, highly educated man.
possessing supreme power, nec-
essary in the Russia of the Rev
o.ution. But after this war IS ov-
er, we believe the example IF this
great country will become the s.Ib
iect of study all over the wor >.
Hire we shall witness for the first
time, on a large scale, the full
fruition of democracy.
America may observe with both
profit and safety the example Of
this people for whom we now ex-
tend recognition and for whom his
tory will record that Hitler was
beaten on the plains of Russia
and that there civilization was
largely saved.
Russia was ready for HitIe-.--
Was she also right?

Mr.. HERBERT AGAR

Mr.. Herbert Agar, Editor Of tire
Louisville Courier-Journal, Is con-
stantIy reminding Americans that
we cannot have democracy in this
land unless we are willing to e.
tend all its protection and bene-
fits and privileges to the American
Negro. Any other course, he de-
cIares, IS not only undemocratic,
but unwise and unsafe
In a recent radio broadcast Mr..
Agar pointed out that democratic
action toward the Negro in any Of
the various ways possible here IN
the United States will do more
for the preservation of democracy
than the destruction Of a German
Panzer division.
He pleads for justice for the
Negro as necessary to vindicate
our democratic professions.
Thanks, Mr.. Agar. You are
worthy successor Of another great
kentuckian of pre-CiviI War days

wholly true. The simple truth is
that more young men in Germany
