TODAY and
TOMORROW
REVOLUTION . , . human rights
I have not been able to scare myself
as so many of my friends do, with
fear that the Ctjited States of Amer
ca is jading tor a revolution. We
aro not go riglo have another Revolu
tion in America unless and until
some maci, or group with power Lo
enforce their will upon the rest of u.?
undertakes to deprive u? of out
liberties as human beings and 'frco
citizens* It' that ever happens, the11
there Will be utterances and ges
tures, some of them from h'gh place*
which indicate annoyance because we
sti|l, 88 a people^ refuse to tahe
orders to do things about which we
lave not been co. suited, but nothing
which I can take seriously as a threa- !
to our fundamentl liberties.
Let those be actually menaced, an i i
we will see a rebolutio".?at least a
i-evollj against whoever tr es it?a' d
will he short, sharp and decisive:
with the people of the United Stat.*
reasserting their rights,
LIBERTIES . . ? . protection
What are the rights which so many
fear are ita d?ig<er? They arc sot
down in the first ten amendments i?;
the Constitution. That "Bill of
Rights" is worth rereading. If I wen
i schoolmaster I would have my pu
pils read it aloud every mornii g, so
they would grow up knowing thai
Lhey are free American citizens whom
no authority, leaat of all one which (
they themselves or their forebear's.
has created, can push around wiu
impunity.
Read it. Read that ro one has pow* I
?r to interfere with the churches n
tho practice by everyone of the reliC-,
on which pleases him. No power cu\ j
forbi d you 1.0 speak your mind on
any subject, by volte or print. Our j
rights are secure to assemble peace ,
ftuly, to petition tho government for
redress of grievances, to bear arm*,!
to be seenre against search and '
ure of our persona ,or property wifth
Dut due warrant?read the whol ??
list. That is only part of*it.
I think that whenevf r any auihoritv
fries to deprive lis of those liberties
here will be a revolution in Anieric'
hut not ti,ll Mien.
DICTATORS . . Washington
Many Of my timorous friends who
do not fear a popular uprising?a
revolution?have a bad case of tho
jitters over their conviction that the
'? ation is heading f?r a dictatorship
in (the European fashion. I do not
share that fear, either. j
Wo had a dictator once. His nam')
was George Washington. In 177",
when the American Revolution
against King George III was going
badly, tho Continental Congress votel
to give the Commander of the armv
complex control of the whole coif1'
try, to conscript citizens for soldier^
to comma: deer food and supplies, t*>
confiscate property and to give orde's
which had the force of law, and to
use any means ho desired Kto cxny
|hwn out.
Washington, armed with thoie po>.v
era, guch ?s no other American ever
had. before or since, won for th?
'cople the HI;' rties which the Britivn
ving had denied i'hem. He could hav ?
cept those powers and mode himsell
in absolute ruler. Instead, he pre sid
ed over the Conve) tion of 1787 whic
ramed the Constitution, carefully:
banned to pp^'en),1 the concent ratio*.

Bishop Will Dedicate
Cuilowhee Church
The handsome, new Methodist
church at Cuilowhee will be dedicates
on Stf-tiay, August 22, with appropr -
ate services.
Ejishop Paul B. Ive.in will conduct
the service of dedication, and will
preach at 11 o'clock.
All former ministers at the church
have be<o s.;iit special invitations to
be present, amo; g those who are ex

Robert M. Ilardoe, Rev. E. C. Wfcd 'i

al Government, ind all oliu-r jhiwo ;
are reserved explicitly (o the states
or to the people.
Our system works bee: use of the
(hecks ard balances provided by t ie
division of powers. The Constitlltio i
is 'the supreme law of the land. Ali
laws pas sed by Co gr ss must con
form to its rest rietioiis. The Supreme
Court has tlie sole power to mea.sU1''
laws by the Constitutional yardstick
und d/'eide whether Qongrjt^s has
exceeded its powers. And the soje
duty of^thc Executive is to see th't (
the Constitutional laws of Congres*
a'ip en fore* d. Xcer- of t h ? three
branches may delegate its power ir
infringe on the powers of either of'
the others.
ALLEGIANCE . . Cons itufcon
Every public official, civil or mili
tary, in the United States, haji to dc-.
clave his loyalty to our institutions,
usually iv (lor oa;h. So do the officials
?and solders of cv<>ry other nation '
have to swear fealty to their reaper- j
tive rulers. '
In the British 'Empire they must
pledge Vhenv clves to be loyal to Kin? ,
George. The Japanese swear to be
faithful subjects of the Son of Heav"
en, the Mikado. In Germany loya 11 v
is pledged lo the Third Reich, whi-h
is 't*he National Socialist Party, the
present government. Italian offices
give tbeir oaths to the King, who Jj is
delegated most of his authority ;o
Premier Mussolini, whe.se word is the
King's law. 1 :
In America we do not swear loyal?v
any one man or pwly or any
government. No man is required o
take an oath that he will obey the
President, support whatever govern
