WORDS OF WISDOM
It is an opportune time to give
intense thought to some of the fa
mous words of the lean. gaunt fig
ure who with majestic yet awkward
stride left his mark on the pages of
history. Times over he voiced wis
dom from his crises of the moment
with a wonderous insight into the
crises of the future. One important
sentence he uttered during a de
bate with the famous orator,
Stephen Douglas, approaches the is
sue of dictatorship with a sage fore
sight and lives as an omen of good
government and rightful citizenship.
Lincoln said: “No man is good
enough to govern another man with
out that man’s consent.” We are
amid a constant struggle where
men try to decide whether «these
words ring true. This is the foun
dation of democracy and if these
words are not true then the Hit
lers, Mussolinis and Stalins are
right. This maxim has come to us
through the ages, but Lincoln “be
longs to the ages” and through him
we more fully appreciate the re
spect and glory of government. This
man had a compassion for all men
regardless of creed or color. He had
an insight and tenderness for
friends and enemies and a great
capacity for looking beyond the
moment. This thought of Lincoln is
applicable in our day as it was in
his. The solution of whether or
not he was right hangs in the bal
ance in each generation.
Another time Lincoln saw the
problem of the Indian needed con
sideration, due to indignities heap
ed upon the red man. The presi
dent then said: “If we get through
this war, and I live, this Indian
system shall be reformed.” Lincolnl
did not live, but the condition of the
Indian has been greatly improved
especially during these past seven
years. We condemn the persecu
tion of the Jews by Hitler and bit
terly resent the Chinese, Finnish
and Ethopian affairs, but it is just
another case of nations insisting
upon remodeling another people in
their own image. 'Lincoln wished to
help the Indian. His problems be
came our puzzles. But fortunately
for us his wisdom and foresight
were passed down to us. His image
and his struggle to replace compas
sion for revenge, as he dreamed his
dream of peace, is only one of the
reasons he remains a figure belong
ing to the ages.
Most of us eat too much for our
own good. We prepare our food in a
way that tempts us to eat more than
we should. We make everything as
inviting as possible to the appetite.
With simpler menus the problem of
eating too much would be simpler.
For example few would eat too much
mush and milk or too much bread
and butter. The difficulty comes
when we make. a resolution not to
eat too much we then [proceed to
make our resolution difficult to keep
by over tempting the appetite.
There is plenty of idle money in
the banks whose owners would be
glad to have invested in private en
terprise if it wasn’t for the fear of
restrictive legislation that Congress
might pass that would invalidate
the entire investment. There is a
feeling all over this country that
congress is unfriendly toward bus
iness and that the small business
man has no friend in the Adminis
tration.

HE'S A-COMING
Make preparations for the ques—
tion man with the right answers, for
it won't be long until the first of
April, when this inquisitive fellow,
representing your Uncle Sam, drops
around to make many inquiries re
garding matters you may consider
purely personal. Treat him kind
ly and help him get this matter of
census—taking settled. The law asks
you to reply fully and correctly. It
is a duty we owe our country and
each citizen must subject to ques
tioning. There will be an endless
number of interrogations among
them being the inevitable, “do you
own your own home, fuel used, how
many rooms, baths, your age, wheth
er single or married, number of
children, amount of earnings" and
so on. Let Kennewick be helpful so
[the census taking is thorough and
efficient.
MX_VALENTINE _ A _ _ _
When we become pretty much fed
up with the universal discussion of
hate, along comes a day of celebra
tion for sweetness and love. We
come into February decorated with
hearts and flowers to commemorate
the event of St. Valentine. The re
membrance of love with valentine
and verse, fancy and funny. From
the varied assortment found on lo
cal counters it isn’t hard to find a
bit of sentiment to fit the person
ality of your true love. Mid lace and
painted hearts, plump cupids and
cooing doves, we find a poem or two
that carries to the dear one a song
of tenderness that We so easily feel,
but find so hard to say!
We do not believe that any man
should be appointed to or permit
ted to hold a position under this
government, who is a member of
the Communist party or any other
party that receives its orders from a
foreign government. It is still true
that no man can serve two masters.
No man can believe in Communism
and not desire to see the govern
ment of the United States destroy
ed. Democracy has nothing in com
mon with Communism. Communism
is a rebellion against democracy, and
a believer in Communism is a rebel
against the government. Any man
who so desires has a right to be a
Communist, but no man has a right
to be a Communist and take an
oath to support this government. To{
do this is to swear falsely. It is per-1
jury. 1
In many sections of the middle
west when a farmer quit farming
and moved to town he did so be
cause he had retired. Nowadays he
comes to town because :he is broke
and is forced to get on relief.
Really good eatinfit manners
meet their most difficu obstacle
when it comes to a plate of spa
ghetti or noodles. No eating imple
ment has yet been devised that suc
cessfully copes with these tempting,
but contrary viands.
