Men’s and Boys' Outfitters GRIFFIN MONEY Do not be alarmed if from this time forward the mental atmosphere of the country becomes more tense. There is a great heading up of contending forces. Some groups which believe they are fighting against each other are not fighting against each other but against [the common enemy of both. The poli ticians think it is political, the religious leaders think it is religious, the econo mists think it is economic; it is none of these, and yst it is all of them— It Is evil In every stronghold making the fight of Its life. The fight will be bitter; evil is never a nice fighter. False friends will be unmasked and the) plain people will suffer great confusion of mind. Let them give their allegi ance to whart appeals to their souls as right; for it is easier to think wrong ly than to feel wrongly. Their sense of right is the peop.e’s best defense.— Henry Ford.
