A Free Country

This is a free country
sure II Is but free for what
It IS free for work. Ne man
mas to be what MS father was
before him. No man has TO work
where his father worked In
time Of emergency We may vol
unfairly regulate our man power
but 1t IS done under the laws
we ourselves made, which are
to be abrogated when the need
il over.
II Is free for knowledge No
man need stay ignorant il he
has the will to learn. The history
of the country has proven that.
OF course, there are differences
in educational opportunities but
the man who truly wants 10
learn, who is willing to work at
the job Of getting ahead. can DO
so. No man need stay ignorant.
1t is free for courtesy. Where
each man is counted as one,
there need be no servile scraplng
nor eondescendlng nod. Each man
is free to accord to every other
man the same courtesles of be-
hayiour TO which he is himself
entitled 1t takes but one person
to be polite.
1t is free for friendliness. We
are all equals under the law.
bound by the same rules and
regulations. We can therefore
accord the eomradeship Of citi-
zenry to our neighbor, regardless
of his class, creed or color.
1t is free for integrity. No
man wears the yoke of another.
No man is bound to another as
his slave. Each man can stand
alone incorrupt. and loyal TO
the finest ideals.
1t is free for thought. The un-
fettered mind of man is the Sc
cret of the advancement of the
nation. Here no man need be told
what to think or when to think
it. He blows not hot or cold as
he is ordered. He can be for or
against and, provided he keeps
to the law of the land that self
made law of free men he can
think and act as he pleases.
II is free for belief. No man
need worship or not worship at
the behest of his master. Each
man is responsible to his own con-
science and to his own concept of
God. Strong in his faith, he can
stand or fall by what he believes.
His beliefs are his own.
This is a free country founded
upon freedom and free to grow
with the times to Il newer and
finer fulfillment of the law OF
liberty which is the law OF
righteousness.

SANS STILL. THE MAN"
WITH BOSTON BRAVES FANS
NEW YORK Sam Jethroe
continues to assist the Braves in
their drive to first place in the Ma
tional League standings. As Of
Monday the Braves were two
games off the pace and headed in
to Philadelphia for an important
series with the paee-setting Phil
lies.
Speedy Sam has not Stacked off
from the torrid pace he set for
himself during the past month
and which made him a decided fla
vorte and drawing attraction for
the Boston fans.
Behind Jethroe's outstanding
outfield play may be the silent
hand of George Il. Lewis, travel
ing secretary of the team.
Now, George f. Lewis doesn't
mean much until you add that his
nickname is Duffy" That makes
him the famous Lewis of the ia
NOUS outfield of Speaker, Hooper
and Lewis.
Well, Duffy knows just about
all there is to know about playing
the outfield. He makes it poin.
not to try and coach young ball
players because that isn't his
business.
But in the case of Jethroe, it
might be little different. Lewis
took liking to the outfelder
when he was being PANIED for
his poor showing during spring
training. The pair became quite
friendly and during train trips
Sam and Duffy would spend
hours playing gin rummy.
During that span Lewis must
have dropped hints to Sam and
cautioned him about how to play
certain balls. Gradually, Jethroe's
fielding improved tremendously
so did his throwing and his bat
ting consequently picked up will
the other two.
Jethroe is making tremen
dous impression on the Nationa
League. He continued his bas'
stealing and currently has eigh
. teen thefts to put him head AM
p shoulders above any player il
, either Major League in this de
n partment.
