New Bern auto speeders should have more regard for the lives of the policemen who are sent out to the speedway to arrest them. "Making the world safe for democ racy is a fine phrase, but it did not quite reach the spot. It was not strong enough to justify the vast ex penditure of blood and treasure that the struggle will cost; but makiug the world safe for religion, for common de cency, for virtue and honor and truth this is something worth fighting for. And German domination would mean the destruction of everything that we hold dear. It would destroy free speech, free thought and free relig ion. It would bind the church to the State in bonds that could not be brok en. It would destroy every hope of aspiring youth except that of the foundlings under the ample roof of the house of Hohenzollern. "Slowly this catastrophe to human hope dawned on the minds of the peo ple.

It will cost us less to pay now than to pay later. It will be cheaper to win than it will be to lose. The cheapest and easiest way out of a difficult situation is the shortest way out.

For the larger and freer world of the 20th century owes no liUle to the 16th century. As a matter of fact, the re ligious revolution of reformation days was really and truly, in the last an alysis, the revolt of the human mind against absolute power in the intellec tual order and the effort of men bound : for the abolition of absolute power in I the spiritual order. However, this ab- j olition sought did not prevail entire- ; ly anywhere, and in some of the Eu-1 ropean states it almost utterly failed, i especially in the Latin, such as Italy j and Spain.
