CONGRESS—KEYSTONE OF
LIBERTY
What lucky people vve are! W'e
live in ail air el complete person
al freedom — tempered, during’
wartime, of course, by a certain
amount of necessary governmen
tal control. In normal times we
can do about as we please just as
long as we refrain from treading
upon [lie toes o,l oilier free fiti
lint we have an immense conn
li v of mail} liveise interests,
climes and nationalities, and
therefore a very difficult and in
ten ate one to. manage. A law
which might benefit one portion
of i li is great conglomerate ot in
terests, might on the other hand
he /harmful to others; so our clev
er ’’founders'' —looking far into
the future — devised ■ a system
whereby every portion of the na
tion could be represented at the
seat of government to help make
laws fair to one and all,
Tlip representatives of the va
in a interests of the different
j ails of out land, naturally ean
tiot always agree upon laws and
■procedures lei’ the simple rea
soil suited’. above. Wordy battles
t rci.)ue,iiils no nr in the halls of
our national i ong.iess between
members who are trying to repre
sent propi ri\ the districts from
which they come.
We can't all go to Washing
ton anil sit around and see that
we get a “square deal’’ for our- ■
selves-—so we agree locally upon ]
a man to do it for us. Hie is us. .
Remove him from the seat, of
government — and you remove |
us. Then what would we have? ;
We would have a president and ,
his subordinate officers to oper- |
ate ai nation of ft,TH■ >.V*t*,‘i square !
miles with a population of UH>,
000.00(1 people, and with neees
sai'ily but little intimate knowl
edge of the million varied inter
ests of this vast, complicated,
heterogeneous mass which we
call the United States of America)
So the biggest job on earth
would become the business of one
man, and if . precedent means
anything, we would befoi’e long
be following the same paths
which must necessarily he fol
lowed by nations which place
their affairs in the hands of one
individual. For no one man would
be capable of making laws which
would universally satisfy such a
vast mixture as is ours; and only
force could make us obey some
of bis rulings. And force means
loss of freedom— that enviable
state of being which can best be
'appreciated by those who have
lived under, observed, or studied
the opposite in foreign lands.
And knowing ail this—there
are yet people who want to do
away with the keystone of our
personal liberty —T that political
unit which makes the defference
between freedom and servitude
—the Congress of the United
States.
It wouldn't make much differ
ence who the president was af
ter that—he would have to be a
dic tator. We cap call one man
rule by any name we like—but
it is of nature “dictatorship”.
Because if the citizens do not
help him run the country thru
their representatives, be must
do it alone, alld as lie sees best
and by dictation.
Those who sincerely believe
Mr. Koosevelt could manage the
nation best — alone; and those
who for sinister reasons attempt
to discredit our Congress to the
point. where the people will
throw it out, should remember
that .Mr. Boosevelt cannot serve
tot ever and that some day some
one o|se will have to till his place
And that ''some one” may he a
man of vastly different stripe; a
man who would crush them after
he had squeezed them dry.
Beware of those who advo
cate in favor of throwing out
our Congress. We will he hear
ing more a'lid more of them as
time' goes oil. I hoy are our ene
mies. the enemies of our state,
and the enemies of oin Chief of
Stale.

BALLOT BOX. Come next No

the balance of power in the 11144
elections.
That may he a startling
thought to some Mr. ami Mrs.
Average Citizens, but it is a fact
being rockonel by some of the
more astute politicians who have
been figuring put such things.
The rot-so-smart politicos who
overlook or deliberately ignore
the potential impact of the te
male vote may well rue their
blindness. And deservedly so.
That is if women use their vot
ing power, individually and col
lectively, to vote seriously, in
telligently for what they want.
Meaning, if they vote for
candidates; regardless of routine
habit and old party ari'iliations,
who represent what they want
in the wav of good government
and vvai ami peace aims.
Being a good Democrat 01

is not enough; merely voting is
no longer enough. Now, if ever,
