Many a public discussion loses sight of
the facts in the case.
Officers of the law have a great call
ing when they follow it.
An attractive girl lets her boy friend
do most of the talking about himself.
Some of this so-called personality is
the same thing that used to be known as
the big head.
The worker who accomplishes things
is able to do today w'hat he could put
off until tomorrow.
Just remember when you drive an
automobile, that if you take a minute
longer you can drive wiith safety.
There are people grumbling today
about their income taxes who would have
been glad to pay them six years ago.
There are too many preachers today
who keep only one eye on the Bible;
theye have the other on the collection
plate.
Public servants of the people, who
break their necks to hold their jobs, will
tell you, confidentially, that they are
woefully underpaid.
It’s about time for some writer to re
vive the old yarn about Great Britain
having secret plans about a terrible war
weapon locked up in a vault.
The voice of big business is, at least,
consistent. For the past eight years it
has been saying, “If the government will
just remove the obstacles, business will
go ahead.”
UNITED FREE BOOTERS
WINNING
The action of Germany last week,
in dismembering the remnants of Czecho
slovakia, illustrates the situation in
Europe, w’here German might stands
ready, at the nod of the dictator, to step
across national boundaries and make a I
shambles of independence.
Peace in Europe, under such circum
stances, depends upon the whim of Hit
ler or Mussolini. Their acts are not
reflected in the attitude of their peoples
because the policies that they advance
are not necessarily dpendent upon ap
proval of their peoples.
The necessity for strong armaments
on the part of Great Britain and France
is apparent. No wonder the British |
people, in the face of such a threat, I
cheerfully assume staggering burdens in
order to be able to fight, if they must,
to maintain their freedom.
Even as this is written no one knows
where the next crisis may occur, and
what it may develeop into. Germany.
Italy and Japan are on the march and
the only limit to their greed is imposed
by the strength that may oppose it. The
three nations work together and by co
ordination put pressure upon other na
tions that can be offset only by joint
action.
So long as the democratic nations of
the world permit this alliance of free
booters to w r ork their will upon sepa
rated nations they will continue to take
what they need. In self-defense, if for
no other reason, freedom-loving peoples
will have to join in meeting the com
mon enemy of their ancient heritage.

PLANES
Legislative action was practically
completed last week on the air corps
bill, which provides for not more than
6,000 planes at a cost of not more than
$300,000,000. Apparently congress is
ready to approve almost any reasonable
recommendation of army and navy ex
perts for national defense..

SUMMERVILLE MAN TO DIE
IN CHAIR IN SOUTH CAROLINA
COLUMBIA, S. C„ March 21.—Their
hope for executive clemency gone, six
convicts who stabbed to death their host
age when their demands to be permitted
to escape went unheeded, today prepared
to die at dawn Friday in one of the
largest mass executions in the history of
the state.
Their hope that Gov. Burnet R. May
bank, w r ho already has given them one
stay of execution, would grant further
clemency was blasted yesterday when he
declared :
“I have studied these petitions and
such other evidence and can find abso
lutely nothing which would allow me to
show mercy to those who show’ed no
mercy.”
Summerville Man Among Six.
It was a motely array of men who to
day awaited execution for the crime.
Self-styled leader of the group is William
H. Gentry, alias William B. Woods, of
Summerville, Ga., who says he is 25 but
who looks older than that. Gentry took
all the blame for the stabbing. “Let the
others go and burn me,” he declared dur
ing the trial.
Apparently eager to die, Gentry twice
has attempted to commit suicide, onee
by slashing his wrists and once by a hun
ger strike. He is married and is the fa
ther of a 5-year-old girl whom he has
seen only once —when she visited him in
prison last year.
