Drennan of Camp Gordon, Ga., spent the week end with relatives near town. Miss Hettie McGrath and Dr. Edward A. Rondeau of Greenville and Mr. and Mrs. Martin Ron deau of Boston, Mass., were recent visitors in the home of Mr. D. M. McGrath. In any group of people, whether it be national, political, industrial or social, where the majority is ruled without its consent by a minority—the status is that of Dictatorship.” We may call it any name we like—it is still Dic tatorship. If any minority group should seize control of our gov ernment, abolish the elections and run the country without the voluntary consent of the people— that would constitute a Dictator ship. Germany is a Dictatorship because a small group called the National Socialist party runs the country and orders the lives of the majority without their spoken consent. The same applies to Italy and Russia—under differ ently named groups—and to a number of other nations on both sides of the ocean. Many theorists believe this to be the best and sanest form of government, on their assumption that the majority is unfit intel lectually to govern itself and for and by the people. There are many in our country who are beginning to fear that sinister forces which would like to gain dictatorial power over our lives may be able to accomplish their purpose while we are engag ed in this struggle. We we’* through this same fear complex during the First World war an during the Civil war: but nothing serious developed. This does no', signify however that we should sneer at such fears or that w ' should ever become negligent, for we will be sure to lose our free government at some time unless we guard it at all times. It is during periods of grea’: stress such as war, famine, pesti lence and the like, that thof' sleepless neurotics, who are never satisfied with any status quo, get in their licks. Like the germs in a sick body, or the parasites on a weakened tree — these warped creatures breed and thrive at ac celerated pace while the solid cit izenry is occupied with the de fense of the land and the hoir > front is of necessity neglected.
