1 ______ 1 WASHINGTON COMMENT. "Tiiis is a free country. The majority rules here!" A proud American toast this, which we are all fond of making to our foreign friends. Is it a free country ? Does the majority rule? Many a patriotic and home 'oving citizen is asking himself these questions. Is it a case of majority rule when the well-organized minority in a basic industry can jeopardize the entire nation? is it a free country when a man who says, "1 want the job a striker doesn't want,'' must pay the penalty with his life if he dares take it? Is it a free country, or a majority rule government, when any "bloc" in house or senate can dictate legislation in the interest of any part of a hundred millions as opposed to the interests of the whole? Is it a free country when any religious bias attempts to interfere with the schools of the nation? War breeds hate, hate breeds faj naticism, fanaticism breeds intolerance, intolerance breeds oppression, anarchy, Bolshevism, fear. Wre have had the war, and experienced the hate and the fanaticism. But we, the American people, with the love of freedom and independence, which is the priceless heritage given us by our traditions, our history, and our love of what we truly think of as God's country, do not have to follow the , road to the end; we do not have to absorb the intolerance, or experience 1 v.. tile oppression, anarcuy, oviauc<wm, fear. The way is clear; we have but to apply to these our present problems < that ideal for which our forefathers | fought, which Washington put in practical operation, which Lincoln Upheld. We have but to remember that before we are railroad men, farmers, strikers, strike breakers, legislators belong to a blcc, members of any special group, or upholders of any special* faith, we are first of all, good Americans. While we all remember that, this will be a land where the majority rules. When we forget it, and only when we forget it, can this cease to be a free country. Through the courtesy of Mr. Gabriel Wells, of New York, a rare copy of the Gutenberg Bible, which is his, is now oh temporary exhibition at the National Museum in Washington. Gutenberg invented the art of printing from movable type. Prior to time printing was done from carved wooden blocks, on which was everything which appeared on a page. Gdtenbeg invented the three essentials of modern printing, changed only in details since his day in the early part of the fifteenth century. These three things, type, mold from which the type is cast, and matrix, from which the mold is made, have had a more powerful influence upon the world than any other Invention or discovery ever made. Through them all knowledge is spread; through printing the Bible has become the world's book. Through printing education of the masses has been accomplished; through printing has civilization displaced barbarism, and knowledge taken the place of ignorance and ?iiunerstition. It is printing which has caused the downfall of tyranny, material and spiritual; printing which brought the ideals of liberty, fraternity, equality, toleration, education, and freedom to a world once divided between oppressors and the oppressed. Gutenberg printed the first Bibl4 ever formed, except by hand or, in abbreviated form, from carved wooden blocks. The Gutenberg Bible, now * ~ * o VmnHroH I valued til I rum 1U.1.J w ? thousand dollars a copy, is far more than a Bible. Today mc^t beautiful Bibles can be bought for it few cents; today we have penny newspapers and ten cent magazines, books for half a dollar, and libraries of them free to millions of people. They'ate' all children of the Gutenberg Bible; all fruit of the mind of the humblo mechanic of five hundred yfcars ago', whose influence has changed a world to its betterment as no other man, save Christ, has ever changed it.
