armies are beaten, these organiza-

A fuller realization of this prob

know this problem intimately, hope
that civilian America will not wax

I'VE must have a strong re-
newed faith in the system of free
enterprise, the system on which
America grew to greatness, Sc that
after the war the man who has an
idea for a better mouse trap can go
ahead and risk his all to build and
market it, and profit thereby if

Much Ado

There can be no argument about
the right of the soldiers to vote.
That's the right of every American
citizen But we'll wager the soldiers
are not as much concerned about it
as are great many of the people
at home who are all adither be-
cause Of the controversy.
Soldiers never have voted in
other wars and the task of provid-
ing them with ballots. holding the
election, returning their ballots
from the far corners Of tile earth,
and tabulatiag the results would be
one of colossal size. To deny him
the right to vote during the time
of war may be just one more sacri-
flee that war requires of every gen
uine citizen What is of vastly great
er Importance to the soldier is that
we On the home front so conduct
things here at home that the war
will be shortened and the soldier
returned where he will be able to
vote at future elections There is
much still to be done to straighten
out short -comings here on the home
front.
But read what a veteran Of World
War | has to say about this de-
bated subject. c. ], Doherty Of the
Missoula County Times says:
The Soldiers Vote
Can / be excused for thinking
that those worrying about the sol
der vote are more apt to be the
politicians than the soldiers.
I can imagine the chow detail
dragging a flock of ballots to the
line of combat. I can imagine the
soldiers saying: I'VE can't eat those
dam things. My ma and pa will do
the voting until get back home"
As / recall my experience Is
years ago about the last thing l
would want on the line would be a
ballot. / could use cigarettes, choc-
olate, another pair of socks maybe
a blanket or another chunk of
! boiled beef. Maybesaa handful Of
sugar in my coffee or few drops
of hot water to wash my messkit.
Maybe a chance to shave Or better
yet a real safe place for about 10
minutes. OF course the greatest
thing of all--the war is over.
No, / shall not get excited about
soldiers voting-at least the COM
bat soldier. The boys in the camps
may think it chance to dodge a
bit Of detail.
Finally | am convinced that If
we can not hold an election with
out our fighting men we should
never have shipped them so, far
from the polls
The fighting men expect us to
take care of the home front. Let
ting the soldier vote will be no
alibi If we buAgle the job.

Status Of Fascisr,
In Spain


One of the things that was not dis
cussed by the big Three" or the
big Four" in the recent meetings
at Cairo and Teheran, as far as the
world knows, was Spain.
The President, in answer to
direct question when he returned,
said he did not see Franco. He adj
mitted, however, that something de-
layed his return. He never said
what.
There have been signs that some
one has been whispering into Cen
eralissimo FRANCOIS ear just the
same.
He has disbanded the Falangists.
They are the uniformed party. mem
bers. real military and hard-isted
bunch Of uniformed fascists, the ac-
tive party members of the Spanish
fasclSmo.
saw a few in Spain. They we're
polite to me as a foreigner but they
were not pleasant people. The ones
| met in. the ranks were raw, I'M
tutored youths, anxious for tips;
glad, ! would imagine, in that
wrecked NATION, to get food and a
suit of clothes from the government.
There is nothing more hardboiled,
of course, than hardboiled youth.
Take away from him the decent out
let's for his animal spirits---on the
ball field, in the school yard, any
where where he can whoop and hol-
Ter and be himself-and what hap
pens? A terrific, pent-up force, all
the primitive emotions seeking an
outlet. The Nazis and the fascists
knew this and their strength is still
in the strength of the youth they
perverted the primal instincts of
the caveman, which Turk within all
of us, turned to the base uses of
the party.
Well, Spain, nation OF indiyidu-
alists, has at last been able to shake
itself loose from part Of this bond
age. The iron hand Of Hitler, and
the now withered hand OF Mussolini,
have been withdrawn. Spanish fas-
cismo is almost an empty shell.
It is an axiom that fascism can
only live on blood, the blood Of its
enemies and when they are not
within reach. its own people. It has
no other sustenance-it represents
that group which, in the lower ami
mails, produces the outlawed, the To-
coed, the mad. We have these phe-
nomena among the wolves, among
elephants, even among horses-the
"bad elephant the tiger which kills
for pleasure and not for food.
Starved to Death
So Spanish fascism has been
starved to death and the essential,
decent instincts of civilized man are
again coming to the surface.
In this great struggle Of the ideolo-
gies, It has taken force to beat down
force. 1t has taken realization
that human beings, banded together
in an honest cause, have a chance
against the beast, only ii they can
outwit him at his own game. Once
the active element Of evil is con-
quered, the natural decencies OF the
civilized man rise again and domi-
nate.

than Kent.
U. S. Public Health Service re-

The first case of polio this year
in Delaware was reported in Sus-

and by the end of August there had

OVER SIXTY CASES OF POLIO
ARE REPORTED IN STATE
CONTINUED from First Page,

cases which go on and show symp-
toms of paralysis are diagnosed as
infantile paralysis, while people
with very mild, undiagnosed cases
may, unwittingly, be acting as car
riers. However, people seem to de-
velop an immunity to polio after
one or more attacks, even though
mild, and that likely accounts for
the fact that S0Fo of the cases in
Delaware have been patients under
Is years of age and $50 have been
less than 10 years old-youngsters
who evidently have not built up an
immunity.
Many diseases are either diges-
tive or respiratory in nature and
the precautions to be observed diff
fer with the two types of diseases.
In polio, however, the virus has
been recovered from both the d.
gestive and the respiratory tracts
of people as we'll as from sewage
mixed conditions which do not
exist with other diseases. From our
present knowledge of the disease it
seems that infantile paralysis may
be one of the diseases, like typhoid
fever, which is spread in more
than one way.
Because of this lack of know
ledge of infantile paralysis cause
and spread, all the preventive mea-
sures that apply to either respira-.
tory or to digestive diseases have
been tried and yet there is no proof
that any of these are effective and
have actually stopped the spread of
infantile paralysis.
Suggested preventive measures
include such things as scrupulous
attention to personal hygiene
avoiding crowding wherever posi-
BILE, covering of the nose and
mouth while sneezing or coughing,
and care in the preparation and
protection of food.
