/ DEMOCRACY Reliftovs
The ideal which we are prepar-.
ing to defend by arms, which the
British alone among the people of
the world are fighting and dying
for today, is as truly religious as
the teachings of any creed, as I see
it. For’democracy, like Christianity,
is based upon the sanctity of the
individual.'

RIGHTS Dented
I think one of the^most impor
tant rights of every citizen in a
democracy is the right to criticize
the acts of other citizens who have
been elected to formulate and carry
out the laws. That is a much more
important right than most people
realize. It is one which most men
in public office, once they have got
the habit of thinking politically, try
to suppress or deny.
The elected office-holder is re
sponsible to the people, whereas the
privale-Htizen is r^pernsthte to no
body but his own conscience, un
less he interferes with somebody
else’s rights. But I have seen it hap
pen, and so have you, that elected
officials take it upon themselves to
criticize whole groups and classes
of private citizens, while resenting
any criticism of themselves.
It is a safe rule for every eitizen,
and one which 1 have followed
pretty much all my life, to be very
suspicious of the motives *of "any
man once he gets elected to a public
job, and to put no trust in the word
of any politicians of any party, but
judge them warily by their actions.
Clinton high’s Red Devils easily
defeated Union high here Friday
night on Johnson field by the scor$
of 21-0 before a large crowd.
The Devils scored mid-way of the
second period when Mimnaugh shot*
a 2S-j^ard pass to Burnett, who caujpiit
the ball on his own 30 and dashed
70 yards in beautiful broken field
running *to a touchdown. Burnett
added the extra point. /
'nie second Clinton tally came in
the third quarter when Mlmnmigh
intercepted Kingsmore's pass
ran 20 yards for the tally. A $5-yard
drive in the last period, climaxed
by Burnett’s end run, accounted for
the third tally.
Burnett was the big show in. the

CONFUCT — Rulers
The war that is going on all
around the world today, and which
the United States is preparing to
take part in if need be, is a conflict
between the democratic ideal of in
dividual rights and the precise op
posite. The question at issue is
whether the world shall be ruled l)y
a few men to whom all the rest must
give allegiance under pain of pun
ishment, even death, pr whether
men shall be free.
In the old days kings used ta be
absolute rulers. That is why the men
who founded this nation feared mon
archy, which literally means rule
by one man. We don’t call it mon
archy, because about all the kings
have either yielded their authority'
to their people or have had it taken
away from them by dictators. But
we don’t want any of it, under any
name.
The job jof the American people,
as I see it, is to make democracy
work better and better and get
ready to fight tb save it, for it’s on
