Til K I'FCOPLE of Macon County know full well the value of our national forests, and this is, therefore, only a reminder of the fact that October is Forest Fire Prevention Month. It is during this month and the weeks that fol low that our forests are in the most danger from careless citizens who while burning a brush pile or dropping a lighted cigarette, cause untold damage to one of the greatest of our national resources. So watch it ! Let's prevent those fires this year! We Pau?c . . . ' I 'H I". L'NITKD STATRS paused twice recently in all-out war against facisin to pay tribute to two great American statesmen who have passed from the American scene ? George W. Norris and Wendell L. Willkie. The Tennessee Valley Authority and its mighty accomplishmnts which are so close to us here in Macon County, are an everlasting memorial to the farsightedness of Senator N'orris. The success of state government in Nebraska dmonstrates his ab ility and insight into the affairs of government. Wendell Willkie's defeat in the 1940 Presidential elction was for him one of the great victories of his life, for it changed him from a utilities company executive and .candidate for president, into one of the great statesmen of the era. With courage and knowledge he spoke out against backward political philosophies and discrepancies which he saw in our national and international affairs. George Norris and Wendell Willkie were alike in that they put ideals l>etore political parties, in so doing, often incurring the wrath of petty poli ticians of their party. Norris was the fulfillment of the stature of independent, intelligent Ameri can statesmanship that Wendell Willkie was on the road to becoming, l>efore his untimejy death at the relatively young age of 52. We 'herewith nominate George Norris and Wen dell Willkie for a high place on the page of history where the names of great American statesmen ar? inscribed. Register ? Vote ! WE ARE NOT among those who believe that America is on the road' to dictatorship, to talitarianism. facism or communism. Certainly we do not believe that everything in our republic is as it should be. but we believe that American 'has made and is making steady progress toward her goal of greater democracy. The United States has made that progress through representative government. Representative government depends on suffrage ? voters. The first maxim of representative government is: The great er the numljer of voters, the greater the democracy in government. So. whether we have a democratic government, a good government depends on you, the voter. During the next two weeks beginning on Satur day, October 14, you will have the opportunity to register for the election in November. Places of registration are given in an article on the front page. If you have a son in service, if you want better government in America, if you believe in the ideal that is our United States, if you believe in the fu ture of America? REGISTER - AND VOTE on November 7th! z Press Comment Why We Fight? One pleasant little definition of the word democracy runs. "It's the hole in the stutied shirt through which the saw dust pours." That obviously is not from the Greek, literally demos (the people) kratos (rule). Nor does it with proper solemnity convey the depth of sentiment with which we surround that prec ious bundle of liberties, free doms, and manners that we wrap up under that label. But it does express the geniality with which we regard our way of life. Sometimes we pause to won der why we seem so ready to fight for It? Felix Frank furter In a Survey Graphic ar ticle supplies an interesting answer. Woodrow Wilson saw, he writes, that the world must be safe for our democracy. Today "with growing unanimity we have come to realize that the world will not be safe for our democracy unless the whole wrold Is commltteed to the Ideal of democracy." That Is a rather sweeping statement of American war aims, but Justice Frankfurter quickly qualifies by insisting he does not mean other nations must copy the American form of government, "or that there is no such thing as a historic process, or that overnight we can turn a democratic formula into a working civilzation.." What he does mean Is that democracy U the only form of social arrangement that has been found In the course of long history which helps the unfoldment of human diversity. It provides the political frame work that "enables men to live with one another, with full re spect for one another, under conditions that bring forth the maximum gifts of each other for the fullest enjoyment of all." Since it provides the best pro tection for development and unfoldmept of the individual. Justice Frankfurter insists, and we agree, that democracy places an Immense responsibility on : those who enjoy it. It is the responsibility of both making and keeping the world safe for democracy. The lesson of the peace that followed the first World War is that a world safe for democracy cannot be achieved simply by drawing aloof from the world and build ing economic and political bar riers. Democracy is an active thing, demanding constant support from all who profess it, and active measures in any part of the world where democracy is threatened. There Is another responsibil ity, too. It lies with the indi vidual citizen In so protecting and cherishing democracy that It is safe for the world. ? The Christian Science Monitor, Sept. 8, 1944.
