FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1940 The Red Cross Drive Very shortly the Red Cross drive J will, begin in our County. It is hoped that every person will join in I this drive this year. There is littQe need of going into the work of this organization ... it is known for its f humanitarian efforts the world over. Let us all be thankful to God for our being Americans, and thus more fortunate than other humans in this world, and contribute our small bit to tne Red Cross, thus enabling that organization to carry on in aileviat ing the suffering' on this earth. We Heartily Agree in charging the Grand Jury, on Monday morning, Judge W. C. Har ris, presiding in Superior Court, sug gested to tne foreman that they, uie urand Jury, gain possession of tne reuorts suomitted to tne (Jou". Dy .the previous two Grand Juries and' 'determine if tne recommenda tions made oy tnose Jurors had been taken care of. Judge Harris stated to tne Grand Jury that it was mean ingless to nave Grand Juries submi reports and recommendations to a bounty if those reports were to be "pigeon-holed" and never carneu out. . io this-.action of. Judge Harris we heartily agree. Undoubtedly, in tne Dust. Grand Juries have made recommendations for the bettermen. oi certain conditions only to hav. those recommendations placed in some drawer never again to see the light of day. If the prestige of the Grand Jury is to withstand the changes that we see so much of in our daily life . . then, their actions and recommenda- r.inns should be acted upon without delay. 49th State? It may surprise puppet emperors and inspire ill-founded scorn in those capitals where puppet emperors get tneir licenses. But a people num oering 442,000 wiiu express freely by ballot on November 6 whether it wants to become more closely asso ciated with a nation of 130,000,000 or and it is this that counts wnether it doesn't. For years the people of Hawaii have been talking this thing over. Now, for the first time, they will vote on it. Island advocates of (Statehood for the Territory of Ha waii would like a vote in Congress; their delegate in that body has a voice in debate but no vote, iney point out that the Islands' popula tion exceeds that of any four States now in the Union. Hawaii would be well up from the bottom of the list of States so far as assessed valua tion is concerned. Advocates of Statehood feel that the economic position of Hawaii, es pecially in sugar,. might be strength-. ened if Hawaii ' Cjuld bring Vftaugi' toglva..,.pB8swretabear .on strictions which now permit only a small percentage of fta;raw sugaf t ) refined; for delivery to the mainland. "Riley H. "Allen, editor of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, writing in the New York World-Telegram, points out that the chief objection raised against Statehood for the Territory arises from the numbers of Japanese now in the Islands. Hawaii, however, is an integral part of the United States' system of naval defense. The important Pearl Harbor base is located there. Today, it may be observed, Americans are discovering national interests farth er from the Pacific Coast -than is Hawaii.4, Should the voters ' of .the i Islands coma, out etrongly for a new : L - 1 ' 1 1 I . ..... uuus . ill - uw uiuvu, i juucukou . would regard their plea sympathe- . tkaJUy,, thflagh: in such time these & would be understandable if action were! less nrecioitate than 'ay, Herr" Hitler in Austria or r ' . - 1 J i F Simor Mur.Hrd.

We are not going to relate how won derful a sight it is to see the fine youth of the Nation answering the call to the colors. Nor, on the oth er sine of the picture, are we going to mourn over the tragic story of the nations of the worid flying at each other's throats exhibiting all the vicious and brainless character istics of maddened dogs, with the re sult that here in our own country manhood in its physical, mental and spiritual prime is forced to leave the ways of peace to pick up the sword of conflict. Rather would we con sider from an entirely objective point of view, quite indifferent to the wonderful' virtues and terrific vices of the several candidates, at least one or two important implica tions. e have listened to quite a few political speeches of late. Some were good, some were frightful. The Speeches of the two major iqandi dates can" no ""more be compared than can the qualities of burlap and silk uvu. vuuu o '"-J " UUJICil. Al OlUJlll WdO laui-uuo aiiu t. C'...:L. ...r. on.l pathetic. Senator Wagner was in teresting and quite concerned with Senator Wagner. Dorothy Thomp son was fine of voice, keen of mind, an intellect moving and finding its mark with all the shimmering speed of the foffl. Ambassador Kennedy we heard him Tuesday night was perhaps tne best of them all. Ob viously sincere, nfaster of his sub ject, logical in the presentation of his matter, he made his point clear ly, unmistakably and clinched it. We should like to hear Cobb, Thompson and Kennedy again in fact, when ever thev wish to talk we wish to listen. What interests us most in this1 campaign is not who is going to be elected we ail feel pretty certain on t'nat point. It is the spirited ngnt that is being put up throughout tne country by the two major par ties. Of course, here in the South we can't have a good political fight; J all we can have is a family political squabble wtinn one party. There is very little worth while in that. The fact that in this National political fiht both candidates have been abused and misrepresented, false statements and vicious Implications made by both sides, really is noC oi much moment. The big, outstand ing, significant fact is that both major parties are standing up,' giv ing it and taking it with all the power nd strength that they can tcnes are not Deing Iter js being-' Vsked, re-Jxhia is. ft jrood sign that thertf real We in the Republic, that mef vreally do . care, .hat . he, Sftfept ce of one Jiarjy, rue Jias jjeased, i.it .al- waysr nar m;' tne past, tfiiw nft the life blood of our Democracy "is flow ing again. Now and then some timorous soul, making note of the political-battle that is on in the face of dangers from without, bids us be careful and remember that this is no time for internal and political dissension. We must be united, we murt show 4o the world no differences of fnolltJcal opinion, we must i allow ' no great cleavage to appear In. the body po litic!

And when that moment has come the Government is our government, the President is our President. There need be no fear of a lack of unity in the nation. Differences of opin ion? Yes, thanks be. An opposi tion party to give voice to dissent ing opinions? Yes, thanks be. But back of it all, a great united people loyal to the Government, to the President and to the Republic!
