We are not going to have an other revolution in America unless and until some man or group with power to enforce their will upon the rest of us undertakes to deprive us of our'liberties as human beings and free citizens. If that ever happens, then there will be a revolution. So far I have been unable to .see any signs of anything seriously pointing in that direction.

DICTATORS — Washington .Many of my tfmorou.s friends who do not fear a [lopular uprising—a rev olution— have a "bad case of the jit ters over their conviction (hat the na tion is heailing for a dictatorship, in the Edropean fashion. I do not share that fear, either. | We had a dictator once. His name! was George WasJiington. In 1777,| w’h«‘,n the .American Revolution against King George Hl Va.s going badly, the continental cong^'ss voted j to give the commander of (he army) complete coritrol of the whole coun-j try, to conscr4^4- cit izens^ Xor sulxUers,.| to commandeer food and supplies, to- confiscate property and to give or-1 ders which hail the force of law, and | use any means he desired to carry i them out. I Washington, armed with those pow’-j ers, such as no other American evt*T held, before or since, won for the peo ple the liberties which the British! king had denied them. He could have kept those powers and made himself an absolute ruler. In.stead, he presid ed over the convention of 1787 which framed the Constitution, carefully planned to prevent the concentration of power in any one man or in the federal government, but making the people as a whole the supreme au thority. GOVERNMENT — Balanced The system of government set up under the American Constitution ha« outlasted any other system which was in existence in the world in 1787. It was the first government ever set up in which the people as a whole held all the power. Under the Consti tution a few strictly limited powers are delegated the legislative, exec utive and judiciary branches of tbe federal government, and all other powers are reserved explicitly to the states or to the Ipeople. Our system works because of the checks and balances provided by the division of powers. "I^e Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All laws passed by congress must con form to its restrictions. The supreme court ha.s sole power to measure laws Reiom From Hospitml by the Constitutional yardstick and Mrs. Horace Poag, Mrs. L. O.

ALLEGIANCE — Constitution Every public official, civil or mili tary, in the United States, has to de clare his loyalty to our institutions, usually under oath. So do the qffi- cials and soldiers of every other na tion have to swear fealty to their re spective rulers. In the British empire they must pledge themselves to be loyal to King George. The Japanese swear to be faithful subjects of the Con of Hea ven, the Mikado. In Germany loyalty Just Dots...
