Ancient Sports In a quiz given at W. U. re cently, one of the questions was: "Name two ancient sports." A freshman wrote: "Anthony and Cleopatra." All automobiles are pigeon toed. Front wheels toe in slight ly to make steering easier. TWO SIDES To Every Question By LITTLE HULL DANGER AHEAD! Strength is in union. If the Rockefellers or the Rothchilds had fought among themselves we would never have heard of them. If the Civil War had resulted in the disruption of the Union we wouldn't be the mcfct potentially powerful nation on earth today. Labor weakens its strength and its cause by factional dis-union; lack of cooperation and discord in the ranks of the Republican party is not displeasing to the Democrats. The rising tide of tariff barriers between our states might eventually spell the de struction of our body politic, if allowed to grow, just as the con tinually aggravated friction be tween capital and labor checks. the progress of our body ec onomic. At the present time our coun try, on its own ball field, would be invincible to any military foe, but there are worse enemies at large than armies. The Great War loosed some nasty forces in the world and all peoples have been affected. Hate is one of these forces. It is contagious and fast spreading. It has swept the world many times; it is rampant now. Its core, in our day, is in Moscow, and from this core spread the tentacles which in turn break out into boils and carbuncles in the far distant reaches of the world's body. Hate so great that it will murder and starve to death literally millions of people, cannot be isolated. It must expand and seek other vic tims. The first symptoms of this dread disease have been evident in our country for quite a while. They crop out for reasons too subtle to be understood. The anti-Catholic whose antipathy for that religion dates from an historical period which has nothing to do with our century— becomes more critical. The dyed in-the-wool anti-Semite makes life less happy for the Jews in his neighborhood and re-creates in those centuries-old sufferers, a defensive attitude which is so often mistaken for an offensive attitude. The constitutional bait er of the colored race loses his temper more readily over weak nesses of the people whom our forebears forced to leave their homes and come here. There is more bitterness in politics; be tween the so-called classes and between employer and employee. All this is unnatural to the American, and weakening to our strength. The abused love their country just as much as do the abusers and are just as essential to its welfare and will fight just as hard for it. But the snakes in our midst know that only by pro moting discord and hatred can they weaken our powerful consti tution. Those snakes are the paid agents of foreign "isms" and their rattles are the poor dupes who have fallen for their camou flaged theories. We Americans are probably the most emotional people in the world: that trait has made us great but that trait can also destroy us. Emotion may carry us tomorrow where we wouldn't dream of going today, and in that journey we may run close to the rocks of dissolution. Our safe guard lies in compact union; our union depends upon a healthy body which has eliminated un- American diseases. No one on earth knows what the European war may develop into but financial experts are convinced that if it continues for two years it will bring bank ruptcy to Europe. Ask the bank er in your town what that would mean to the United States. He will doubtless tell you that it will put a strain on our entire struc ture which will require every ounce of our united strength to resist. Factional discord, social dis cord, race discord, religious dis cord, economic discord, political discord —have no place in an army which must stand united against what may prove to be the most dangerous situation our country has ever faced. It is the common sense, self-protective, patriotic duty of every one of us to forget senseless antipathies among ourselves and instead to focus our dislikes and energies upon those outside enemies whose business it is to foster discord among us. If we stand together, we can force the deportation of our en emies; the destruction of their press which openly attacks our right to be free men; and the im prisonment of their undercover workers who are trying to turn our great country into the same sordid institution of slavery which they attempt to dignify by the name "Russian Socialism." If we must be emotional, let's blow up against our enemies—not in the family.
