We talk about democracy, fight
for it and assert our demands for
it at every opportunity, yet fail to
protect it and let pressure groups
who get their voters to the polling
places take democracy away before
our half alert eyes. Remember
that there are those in the state
and nation who would destroy de-
mocracy as we know it and use the
ballot box and So-called free
speech to do that very thing.
Election This Year Most Vital
In Our History
Many agree that the elections to
be held a little more than sixty
days from today will in many re-
spectS be the most vital in the his
tory of OUR state and nation. There
can be no criticism of the outcome
if we weigh the facts and vote on
the candidates and measures. Dam
ger comes from the negative action
of not voting at all, or voting on
decisions arrived at by sentiment
or whims and without intelligent
thought.
Let us all now resolve to weigh
the candidates and measures with
intelligence; register, vote and get
our relatives and friends to vote.
This is the most we can do for our
democracy. No good citizen will
do less,

Did You Sign Fuel Oil Sheet?

Did you forget or otherwise fail
to sign your fuel oil coupon sheets
before you deposited them with
your dealer? If so, don't worry,
the OPA advised today-you can
authorize a member of your family
to do so, this way for example,:
"John Doe. by Mary Doe, daugh-
ter" If this is not convenient you
can use an alternate signature sheet
stating that since you did not sign
and date the sheet you request this
statement be substituted and at
tached to the original sheet.

OF Us as American Citizens?

Just How Good are You and Each
Of Us as American Citizens?
Olympia, Aug. 30-Perhaps you
resent the above heading. We hes
itated to write it, yet we feel an
obligation to do our small bit when
we look at the primary election re-
turns and see that the candidates
for whom we will have the oppor-
tunity to vote on November were
selected by one qualified voter Of
each five who could and should
have voted.
We have positive duty as cit
liens. That duay is to vote and vote
as intelligently as possible. Your
duty is to inform yourself on the
candidates and measures, their
merits and Objectionable features.
Our duty is to help bring this in
formation to you.
A Citizenship Quiz Program
How Do You Stand the Test?
While bordering the above situa-
ton communication comes from
a man who is a good citizen, an
intelligent voter, who is concerned
over the lack of interest. He pre-
sents us with a good outline for a
personal test in the nature of a
quiz" 1t seems so timely that we
present it with some variations.
Here it is:
I. Are you good citizen?
2. Are you a registered voter?
name of your precinct?
~ -
your state senatorial district?
5. Do you know who is running
for state senator or who is hold
over from your district?
7. Do you know anything about
what these candidates represent or
how their election would affect
you or your business?
8. Have you read the five pro-
posals which will be at the head
of your ballot?
9. Will you read them before
November 7?
10. In view of your answers
above, do you wish to change your
answer to No. 1?
Count 10 for each Eyes" and
note your standing. 80 is excellent;
gu pdSSaDle, ~ CRITICAL ana on is
dangerous. Our friend feels that
those registering so or less should
not be allowed to vote but suggests
they could still criticize.
Voting a Privilege and an
Obligation of Democracy
You may be one of the $50 who |
did not vote at the primary cleo
ton, leaving the nomination of |
candidates to 1870 of the voters; a |

apparently fail to understand that |
intelligent voting is an obligation |

Dealers Must Require Tire on Sale

Dealers Must Require Tire on Sale
Dealers in tires have been ad-
vised that the regulations requiring
a tire be turned in when holders of
certificates calling for Grade I or
Grade III passenger tires make
such purchases, must be carried
out.
The regulations stipulate that
these tires must be held at the
place of business for a period of 80
days before they can dispose of
them. District Tire Examiners are
checking stations and releasing
these tires as rapidly as possible
thruout the district, Cohn said.
Complete information as to the
date when the turned-in tire was
received, should be placed upon
the old tire, or a tag for the exam
nation of the Examiner.

Whites Political Tin
To Country Editor

The life story of the late vii
liam Allen White. who died at
his home at Emporia, Kansas re-
Gently is of high inspiration to
people in all walks of life.
The Publishers Auxiliary OF
Chicago ives the following
thumbnail sketch of this simple,
brilliant man:
Death last week wrote 80 on
the colorful life of William Allen
White. Americas best-known
and best. loved country publisher
says a paee.one story in the Fen-
ruary 3 issue Of h Wilacy
County Chronicle. published at
Raymondville, Texas, by Carl R.
Miller.
The world-famous editor of the.
Emporia Gazette Of Emporia,
Kan, passed away simply in his
big. rambling house where he
had lived for more than 40 years.
Three years ago when the pres
ent publisher of h e WilIacy
County Chronicle purchased this
newspaper from Bob Fackelmen,
William Allen White, whom this
country editor has deeply admir-
ed all his life, wrote the new edi-
tor a letter. With t h e letter.
which is a classic so typical of
the famous editor and which has
been published and republishe d
throughout the state, came an
autographed photograph of t. h e
veteran journalist seated at his
old-fashioned roll top desk, sur
rounded by pictures of William
Mckinley, Herbert Hoover and
other national figures
The letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Miller:
Il have your letter indicating
h a t you are going to run
country newspaper, the Willacy
County Chronicle. | wish You
every manner of good luck.
Looking back over as wears
and more as editor Of the En-
poria Gazette, two or three mos
occur to me that | think every
young publisher should know.
First of all, whatever you do,
take VOW against running for
office. If you ever run, you will
discredit yourself, and if you are
elected. you will discredit your
self worse than if you were de.
feated, because Jou will be con.
stantly trimming and policing
the news so that you can be re-
elected or get another job.
IF you want to stay in politics
permanently, stay out of office
and help others who seek office.
Still another thing: Remem-
Der when you get into an election
that you are batter off if your
candidate is defeated. than if he
is elected. If he is defeated. he
remains an ideal. If elected. he is
u terrible reality and will proha.
bly, grow more terrible every day
after he takes office.
lone of the wisest things ever
said about a country newspaper
was said 80 years ago by Sterling
Morton: "A newspapers friends
are its liabilities. Its enemies
are its asset
IF you will bear these things
in mind. you will be happy.
Sincerely yours,
w. A. White"

Four-Judge Tribunal
Allows WPB Appeal
In Gypsum Labor Case

The United States Gypsum Co.,
Chicago, which won an initial vic
tory last January in District Court
when Judge John H. Druffel, sitting
as a visiting justice, denied Gov
ernment motion to dismiss a suit
for injunction brought by the firm
against the War Labor Board, now
is faced with contesting action on
an appeal to the Court of Appeals
taken by the WLB.
Late yesterday our-judge tri-
bunal of the Court of Appeals
granted the Government the right
to a special appeal from Judge
DruffeIs decision. At the same time
the four higher tribunal justices, in
cluding Chief Justice D. Lawrence
Groner, Justice Justin Miller, Justice
Henry w. Edgerton and Justice
Thurman w. Arnold, set aside an
earlier right to special appeal by the
Government which had been granted
by Justices Edgerton and Arnold.
The Gypsum company had claimed
the law called for at least a three
judge tribunal to act on the motion
for appeal
Meanwhile, in another move, the
firm asks for disqualification of JUS
tice Arnold in consideration of any
phase of the case, claiming in an
affidavit by an officer of the firm
that Justice Arnold is biased and
prejudiced. In this connection the
work of Justice Arnold while he
was serving as an Assistant United
States Attorney General and fight
ing antitrust cases is pointed out.
The injunction suit against WLB
was brought by the firm to keep
WLB from taking any action to en-
force a directive in which it or
dered the firm to include in its
contract union maintenance and a
checkof for its workers.
The WLB, when before District
Court, claimed it had no power to
enforce the directive and that,
therefore, there was no controversy
or case to be decided before the
court on the injunction issue. Judge
Druffel, however, held that the in
junction suit should come to trial.
