Milford, Friday, July IA, 1914

OLD LINE DEMOCRATS are
asking themselves the question
where is the present administra-
tion in Washington leading us?'
They have every reason to raise
this question. The present admin
istration has allowed itself to be-
come surrounded and hog-tied by
a radical, theoretical, extravagant,
power mad, bureaucratic. New
Deal clique composed largely of
non-Democrats who have practi-
cally taken over the Democratic
party. The true. Democrats of the
nation are alarmed at this turn of
events, and are taking steps to
stop the damage. We question but
that their awakening is too late
and that the fight of Texans, South
Carolinians, Mississippians and
others to break the grip of the
bureaucratic clique, the Kelly
Nash, Hague and other notorious
political machines will be in vain.
The synthetic draft of President
Roosevelt is almost an accomplish
ed fact. The southerners hold one
trump card, however-they can
withhold their electoral votes from
Roosevelt if they so choose. This
threat they are dangling before the
New Dealers at this time. Time
alone will tell just what the out
come will be.

In loving memory of our dear hus-

who departed this life July 18th. 1871:
To have to love and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of ones heart

the days.
Before we met the parting of Dur
ways,
But while he rests in peaceful sleep
His memory we shall always keep.
Sadly missed by Wife and Sons,

WE RECENTLY overheard a
smartly dressed city slicker speak
sluringly of the small town in
which he was visiting. He spoke of
the rural folks as hicks and held
their daily lifes up to ridicule. We
wonder whether this man has ever
enjoyed the pleasures of the socall-
ed "horse and buggy days" which
included among their outstanding
experiences annual visits to the
County Fair. Has he ever expert
enced the pleasure of arising early,
leaving at daybreak and arriving
home long after dark, tired and
worn and loaded down with SOU
veniers that long entertained him?
In our boyhOod days, home and
friends were chief attractions.
Few telephones, automobiles, no
picture shows, no paved roads, no
radios just home and friends. We
wonder if these younger genera
tions realize what they missed.
They think they are living a more
abundant life. Maybe they are, but
we wouldn't trade our memories of
our boyhood days for all of the ex-
citement and enervating entertain
ment which seem to follow in the
wake of this modern age. A home
spun philosopher once observed
that God was good to him and per-
mitted him to be born in small
town. There is world of senti-
ment and wisdom behind that OBJ
servation. We, too, want to ex-
press our gratitude for the privi-
Iege of being born in small town.

THE COUNTRY'S PROBLEMS
will not be solved with peace.
There is every reason to believe
that they may become more acute
as the pressure of war is lifted. 1t
will take an unusual type of man
to meet the new situation. We will
be forced to turn from the wild
spIurge of the Roosevelt New Deal
and the waste of war to most
rigid economy 1t will take a man
of broad back and strong mind to
face times much worse than any
thing we have eXperienced-an in
heritance which we will receive
from the wild orgie of mad spend
ing and wasting which has been
the policy of the present admins
tration. The real need is for
president who has a wide business
experience and who is at the same
time familiar with world condi-
tions. He should be neither liberal
nor conserYative-and of such i'm
agination that he can penetrate
the future with vision. He should
be above all statesman who will
approach postwar planning with
an open mind-one who is willing
to kick out the New Deal political
oligarcy which now infests Wash
ington, in order that a new start
may be made toward better cOun-
try in which to live.

after hearing Washington Fare
well Address read on February %.
Immediately followed by reading
of President Roosevelt's anti-con-
gress tax veto message. remarked
I'VE have just listened to the read
ing of two farewell addresses on

FOR ELEVEN YEARS President
Roosevelt has met every problem
presented to him during his admin
istration with one unfailing for
mula: Spend more money" That
is his answer to every problem.
That is his answer today. Instead
of holding the line with the power
that Congress has placed in his
control. he evades the issue by
pleading for authority to spend
more money.

DOESN'T THIS HAVE familiar
ring? The simplest way today to
sum up things against anybody else
is just to call him a Fascist" and
let it go at that. That term takes
in everything from plain so-in-
so to a grave robber-something
like the term "Bolshevik" did 25
years or so ago. Now the old Boil
sheviks are our Allies-so just call
everybody you don't like a "Fas-
cist"-that'll be using the old
head.

THERE ARE TWO GROUPS in
Congress-one which tolerates bu-
reaucracy in government and one
which insists that this shall be a
government of law and not of men.
That is the line upon which most
of the controversial legislation is
divided. 1t is struggle which will
determine whether the represen-
tatives of the people in Congress
shall make the law under which we
all must live. or whether in the
future we. shall live under direc-
tives and proclamations and orders
made by the executive agencies.
We believe when it is settled that
government by law will prevail
over government by men.

NOT ALL OF US are required to
face whitening gun-fire or race for
the shelter when the bombers are
overhead. Not all of us can help in
the production of vital material of
war. But war is everybodys bus
mess just the same. In your daily
life, in your office, on your farm.
or in your home you can and
should serve in our country's
fight for Victory. Conservation of
essential materiels and service is
your business. Don't waste paper,
electric power. telephone time. Do
not request unnecessary deliveries
that take man power, gas or rub
ber And just because things in
this God blessed country are more
plentiful than on any spot on this
earth, don't destroy and waste
this abundance with which we are
endowed. You've got big stake in
this war. For it is your freedom
and your right to continue enjoy
ment of these abundances for
which we are fighting. Pitch in
and do more to speed your Victory.

THE HISTORY OF the press,
since its development five centur-
les ago, has been a history of re-
straint. 1t is natural for men in
authority to resent the sting of
criticism. 1t is human for them to
be ambitious, and to seek to en-
trench themselves. Hence rulers
often avoid criticism and disagree
ment by stifling it. But the coura-
geous men who founded this new
nation sought here full freedom for
each individual. When they estab-
lished a constitution, aware of the
human frailty even of rulers elect
ed from among them, their First
Amendment provided that Con
gress shall make no law. abrig-
ging the freedom of speech and of
the press. With the wide
spread education and enlighten-
ment that resulted, the people here
have advanced farther toward all
freedoms than the people of any
other nation. The beacon of this
Western World, marks for all ma
tions the start of the path of Free
6oms: Freedom of Speech and of
the Press. These Freedoms require
constant guarding that, during
these times when bureaurocrats
are seeking to strangle free enter
prise and enlightenment, our
nation shall not suffer the fate of
others who have ceased their vigi-
lance through the ages of history
