SACRIFICES FOR WAR
Ever increasing sacrifices must
be made in order that the present
world war may be won. Many of
our allies are already making total
sacrifices, not only of physical
comforts but of their lives. Here
in the United States we are being
asked to use less of this and that
in food and clothing which we
have hitherto enjoyed. Many of
us hesitate to give up many things
not because we are not willing to
aid the government, but for the
rerjson we suspect that we will
forego these comforth while prof
iteers make money out of our sac
rifices. There is evidence of this
controversy raging all about us
day by day. The farmers want
higher prices for their products,
labor wants higher wages and
manufacturers want high priced
for their articles; and all of them
want the soldiers and sailors to
fight and die for $30.00 per month
that they may continue to “enjoy
the blessings” of the war effort.
The American people will make
sacrifices of almost everything in
order to win. The one sacrifice!
which they could make to hasten
victory is that of “Color Prejud
ice”. If and when they slay this
monster they will have gone a long
way to win the battle against the
86 Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey Schenley Distillers Corp., NYC.
HAVE TIME TO SERVE
Keep Your Electric Appliances
in Good Repair^Ready to Use!
America's homemakers are answering the
call. Hundreds of busy groups are hard at
work—giving freely of the time and energy
America needs today more than ever before.
How do they do it, these legions of women?
How does any women find time to keep her
home going and still have extra hours to
give her country?
Automatic electric servants are a big part
of the answer. Ready, willing and able, at
the touch of a switch—they re on the job
twenty-four hours a day, if needed—doing
the big jobs in a fraction of the time they
used to take. _

SIR RICHARD CRIPPS
COMES TO POWER
Last week Sir Richard Cripps
was made a member of the War
cabinet of Great Britain in a post
second only to that of Prime Min
ister Churchill. Cripps, an aristo
crat, turned “radical” was until
recently ambassador to Russia
where he won the confidence and
respect of the Russian leaders and
the Russian people. He insists
that in order to win the war and
afterward the peace, we must
take Russia into fellowship. And
this, notwithstanding the fact that
our economic theories are at var
iance, as, indeed they were at
other times when there were other
rulers of th lands of all the Rus
sia’s.
We congratulate the British
people upon the elevation of Sir
Richard Cripps to his present post.
If and when Churchill leaves the
post of Prime Minister, we hope
Sir Richard succeeds him.
THE NEGRO AND DOUGLAS
COUNTY RELIEF ROLLS
Director Voght of the Douglas
County Assistance Office recent
j iy made his report. He stated
I that 22 percent of the persons on
1 his relief rolls were Negroes “be
cause colored discrimination den
ies them work”. And may we add
that “enemy aliens” are employ-'
ed even when the loyal Negro is
denied that very employment. And
thus we achieve National Unity,
victory over the Axis and Demo
cracy.
Director Voght has started a
“train of thought” for victory.
CONTROL OF AGRICULTURE
Leaders of the National Grange
one of the largest of the Farm Or
ganizations, insists that there is
too much government control over
agriculture and that unless it is
relaxed, the liberty which we talK
so much about winning in war
will be lost to the farmers in
peace. Verily, there are tremend
ous times.
HON. JOSEPH W.. MARTIN
Hon. Joseph W. Martin, Minor
ity Leader in the United States
House of Representatives and
Chairman of the Republican Na
tional Committee, will address the
Founders Day Banquet at Lincoln,
Nebraska, Saturday night. His
thesis, doubtless, will be National
Unity as a necessity for winning
the war. And whereas, he will
maintain this view, he will also
insist that neither the war nor the
peace ca nbe won and our forn>
of government perpetuated, unless
we hold, defend and protect the
TWO PARTY SYSTEM against
anyone who shall assail it, for this
i sthe final check and balance un
der our theory of government vi
[ tal to national ideals and life.
Mr. Martin has one quality,
found, too often, in small measure
in public men, DEEP SINCER-t
ITY AND INTELLECTUAL and
MORAL HONESTY.
Come again, Mr. Martin, we are
always glad to have a statesman
of your stature in our midst.

ery land where men have learned
of freedom and sought to enjoy it.
I ntbe present conflict of arms
and ideas we turn to Washington
for inspiration and courage for in
these respects above all others, he
was supreme. With these two
weapons he held his “ragged reb
els” together and with them fought
a war of liberation. He sought
and accepted the aid of all men of
all colors and creeds who believed
in the cause of American freedom.
Often, when his little army was
discouraged, cold and hungry and
almost naked; he stood by his i
deals o fliberty and by the force of
his personality and well nigh di
vine faith, hel dhs men together
for seven years and finally led
them to victory.
The army Washington command
ed, known as the “continental ar
my” consisted of 35,00 men, three
thousand of whom were Negroes.
With all units, French, German,
and others, the total number of
men engaged on the American
side, ran as high as 250,000 men.
After the war was over, Washing
ton retired to his home at Mt.
Vernon, Va., where he planned to
spend the last days of his life in
peace. But this was not to be. He
was recalled from his retirement
and became the first President of
the young Republic. And after
serving two terms in this office,
he again went back to his beloved
Mt. Vernon and passed the last
days of his life.
In his last will and testament, he
freed his slaves. In the light of
later opinion that seemed a small
gesture, but at the time slavery
was universal. And Washington/
hoped that his example would be
followed by other slave holder^
and that this institution would
gradually disappear.
History justly accords Wash
ington an exalted place among the
great of earth. In his own coun
try he is recorded as “First in
War, First in Peace, and First in
the Hearts of his Countrymen”.
Unlike Lincoln, Washington was
a man of great wealth, yet, in
spite of this handicap in the cause
which he espoused, he gave to it
the unselfish devotion about which
Lincoln spoke so eloquently in af
ter years.
I nthe midst of our tragic days,
we may profit by Washington’s
example.
THE GREATNESS
OF AMERICA
BY RUTH TAYLOR
What makes America great?
It is notthe vastness of the
country, nor the fruitfulness of its
acres. It is not the hidden wealth
of its natural resources, nor the
size and variety of its manufact
uring plants. It is not its deep
harbors, nor its navigable rivers,
nor the great arteries of its high
ways.
Whta makes America great is
its latent power to turn all of
those into production for the good
of all the people from coast to
coast.
The greatness of America de
pends upon you and me; upon each
and every one of us, whether we
live on a lonely farm or in the
crowded city, whether we live on
a tree shaded street in a quiet
town, or under the shadow of the
great sky scrapers of a bustling
metropolis.
As Lyman Abbott Once wrote:
"A nation is made great, not by
its fruitful acres, but by the men
who cultivate them; not by its
mines, but by the men who work
in them; not by its railways, but
by the men who build and run
them. America was a great land
when Columbus discovered it; A
mericans have made of it a great
nation."
A country is not greater than its
citizens. We are a UNITED stat
es of America because the men of
this country decided to put aside
sectional and religious differences
to work together for the good of
the country as a whole. If we
want to change our nation, wo
have the power to do so, by chang
ing the minds of the men and wo
men who comprise the country. If
we want to be prosperous, we can,
for new wealth can be built only
by men. If we want security, we
can build it. If we want to erad
icate all evil systems and handi
caps, we can—for we created them
America was made great by the
men who built it. If it remain:,
great, it will be the doing of you
and of me and of all our fellow
