June 21. 1916 Passing Ip A Good 7 hing While it is strictly their own business, war veterans, it would seem, are passing up a good thing when they, at the rate of four out of five, drop their National Service Life Insurance. Possibly the individual's eco nomic condition does not permit the contin uance of his policy, but v. hen four out of five drop the insurance it would seem that something else is wrong. The value of insurance is brought home to many every day. and in the face of the facts it is difficult to understand why so many veterans allow to lapse insurance they cannot buy on the open market. Recently the government liberalized its rules for reinstating lapsed policies. While to reinstate lapsed policies may prove un popular the salvaging of a policy now can mean a great deal in the future. Veterans, hang on to your national service insurance It is one means nf guaranteeing your financial future. All people can and should he just, merci ful: they should never envy, elbow, slan der, hate, or t;y to in jure, hut always should try to bless their fellow-mortals - Mary Baker Eddy. Iin--::. . ■■ lion Is Your Public Conscience? By Ruth Taylor It was Mr Justice Holmes who said: “The srrf-atest rn&n&cc? to freedom 1.5 in^rt pie.” No dictator usurps power. Power usually passes by default when the old government has grown weak through compromise- with evil. The tragedies of history are the trage dies of the misuse of power. II we compro mise with evil today -- then are we undone tomorrow. It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once. “Hey, don’t you know the war is over and won?” you say. Hold on a minute, brother. Sure. I know we won the war—-but are we wAinirig me peace? Victory in arms did not guarantee that. It only won us another chance to work for lasting peace and prosperity. It mav our last chance. There can be no pennant” peace unless and until justice is also present. “The sign of good government is the ful fillment of the promises made in the Bill of Rights, the Four Freedoms and the Atlantic Charter. When a government is tyrannical and denies these rights to ANY group of its citizens, it no ionger should be considered representative of the people. Yes, it wasn’t so long ago we all subscrib ed to that. But — doesn’t your public con science twinge a little? . If we keep silent when we see a wrong committed, we give consent to it, anfl wo become an accessory after the fact. If we are silent in the face of evil, we condone it, aid its repetition. It is not a matter of tak ing sides. It is the coming to the defense of right against wrong, of justice against in justice. of liberty against oppression, of re ligion against paganism, of the sanctity of the individual against the supremacy of the State. I'm not telling you what to think — but I am teling you to think and to let those whom you put in power know your thoughts. They do not do their work with the aid.of a crystal ball. They can’t figure out your thoughts unless you tell them. They can hear only a vocal, highly organized minority — unless you, the people, really wake up and tell them you believe in right for right’s sake and that Americans don’t compromise or bargain with another person’s rights or freedoms. When you keep quiet when you should speak out, you aid in selling your brother down the river. Let the people be good and the government cannot be bad. Who was it said, “People will not always have the government they deserve, but they win always have the government they ap plaud”? llow is your private conscience’’ SWANEE RIVER CLP CURB SERVICE 7 Da v s to Week Beginning Friday, June 21st to I*.
