SOME BLUFFS WE HAVE MET
The dog that barkS but doesn't bite.
The man who boasts but doesn't
fight,
The hen that cackles but doesn't
lay.
The man who promises but doesn't
pay.
The boy who learns to tote a gum
The girl who flirts, but "just for
fun"
Fun, says Dad Gummit, is
like life insurance. The older
you get the more it costs.

When war was declared by the
United States upon Germany in
1914 it was a part of the soldiers
training to be taught the spirit of
fight against his enemy. In 1871
this will not be necessary. Japan
taught the lesson Sunday morning,
December z, in Pearl Harbor. ia
pan is going to feel the vengence of
a righteous wrath as she has never
felt it before.

Typical American reaction to the
call for men to avenge the attack by
Japan was the ten year old boy who
applied at the Navy recruiting sta
ton to enlist. When told that the
navy could not accept boys to fight
japanese men the boy said: "Well,
some of the Japs have boys, haven't
they? I'll fight them"

Business and industry throughout
the country has begun to feel that
labor is getting more privileges and
more representation i'm the govern

Business and industry both feel that
if the rule is mo business as usual, "
the rule should in fairness be mo
strikes as usual"

Its a long way ahead to think
about it, but the democracies have

We are predicting that American

Labor of America is in dangt

Labor of America is in danger of
enslavement from racketeers and its
profiteering leadership. In its own
interest labor should seek its eman-
cipation. It should not permit itself
to be pilloried in American public
opinion for the sins OF its leader

Abiding Peace

The year 1912 has been a hectic
year for me personally, for the world
in general and for you in particular.
We can see hundreds of privileges for
doing things that were worthwhile
that we passed up and so lost our OPP
portunity to use our abilities to d
good purpose.
But, withal, it has been a pleasant
year filled with the greatest anxiety.
Things have happened that have grip
ped ones heart and, at the same time,
made sad the soul, for evil has been
most active and destructive. This has
marred its pleasures and makes US.
the Church, realize that we have not
been functioning as was necessary.
for had the seed Of peace on earth and
good will among men been scattered
more diligently this thing that we
now see and experience would not
have happened. The Church has not
been at prayer. We Christians have
been wrestling with rations instead
of God, we have been thinking Of
self instead Of posterity, we have
been seeking license instead Of lib
erty, and Satan has caught up with
US. The Church, Christian people, has
not carried the Gospel, the only per-
manent agency for peace in all the
world, high and has not exalted the
Prince Of Peace as it should have
done.
And so the story sounds like one
Of defeat of our faith and Of our love
for our fellowmen and our anxiety
for a continuance Of our freedoms for
our children. We seem to have been
trapped by Satan, he seems to have
caught US in his net and we are
floundering in the gloom of our own
The Republican., 1942-12-31

ours. AS they who preceded US,
welding their axes, built a nation of
the free, so can We WELDING our axes,
build a Free World. The power is in
us. We need but the will to act.
THE axe, now as always. is the
path into the forest"

The Axe Is the Path
A Meditation for the New Year
By RUTH TAYLOR

"The axe is the path into the
forest"
When the first intrepid voyagers
braved the unknown seas to seek a
refuge on our shores, they found here
virgin wilderness. There were no
paths but those created by the wild
beasts and still wilCer savages. With
their axes they hewed out homes,
built their villages and erected their
stockades. With their axes they
hewed pathway into the forest,
felled trees for bridges across tur-
bulent waters, penetrating deeper and
deeper into the woods until they
crossed the noun aims and reached
the plains. With their axes they split
the timber for the wagons that
frightened them to other forests
These they conquered in like manner
'ntil at last they came to where the
ters of the blue Pacific Tapped the
stern shore.
The axe is he path into the
.est"
'ae free man d hust ever forge ahead

of his bown strength, of his
