Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. Nevada City Nugget COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA From the Californian, March 15, 1848: The Liberty of the Press consists in the right to publish the Truth, with good motives and for justifiable ends. ton. —Alexander HamilThe Rev. H. Thomas Pateman, rector of the Trinity Episcopal Church, delivered a notable address Thursday, Memorial Day, in the high school auditorium. His words are embued with a high patriotism, as different from jingo demagoguery as daylight differs from darkness. We cannot’ give the entire address here, but we do give those parts of it which seem to us of vital interest. By THE REV. ‘H. THOMAS PATEMAN — Out of the calamitous destruction of freedom and the catastrophic war that now rages, have come to us the realization of the privilege which is ours to live-in the United States of America. Our children do not have to go to school with gas masks. No blackouts make a horror of our nights in the cities of our country. No -sirens sound the warning approach of air raids. No explosive mines infest the waters of our great harors. The youth of our country is at work in the pursuits of peace instead of hiding behind the Maginot and Siegfried lines planning assaults of war. Freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of conscience, freedom in prayer and praise of God—the privilege of believing in a supreme being and Creator of the universe—the privilege of having one’s own opinion and of expressing that opinion belongs to us—to every citizen of this nation—elsewhere it does not exist at this hour. Church and state are separate. Religious institutions stand upon their own feet, and draw their support from the free-will offerings of God-minded people. Do you realize that the average American citizen gives fifty dollars of his yearly wage to support of his local church. The average American citizen does that of his own freewill because he has the right and the liberty to believe in a God of Love and the Right to Worship a God of Love. We Americans clearly see the benevolence of God, but millions of human beings do not. Millions of human beings who enjoyed freedom, a year or two ago now suffer under tyranny. China, Poland, Norway, Belgium, etce., suffer tragedy. German boys must wonder why they, like their fathers, must march in to no man’s land between the Siegfried and Maginot lines to kill human beings against whom they have no quarrel, and to destroy homes and countrysides whose tranquility they must appreciate. French poilu and British Tommy wonder why they must again march forth to be killers of men ar to be killed—to destroy or to be destroyed. Let me emphasize today—whatever our concern may be for our fellowmen overseas, we here in America must not forget that our primary task is right here in Am-. erica, and not over there. The best service we can render to humanity in this hour is to preserve the Democracy for which the fathers of America suffered and died— the soldiers of America have ever given their lives—we must: preserve the democracy for which those to whom we pay our respect upon this Memorial Day gave their lives, What happens to our Democracy and its philosophy and its ideals of government are of greater importance to all humanity than what happens on battlefields. But two thousand years ago, Christ told. us that there is more to living than satisfying the desire for bread. He taught His Apostles and Disciples that the desire for bread alone led to destruction—that man must degire more than that which is material—clothing, and shelter, are all important factors on our lives and we must ‘have them—but we must have more than these, Russia and Germany have both proven that those who live by bread alone and for the material side of life alone live only to destroy and to be destroyed. Russia and Germany prove that if men will deny the spiritual forees about and within their natures, then they will come to’ ruin. For man-is more than a creature of flesh and bone, he possesses an immortal soul, To say that men live for bread alone is to depreciate the significance of human personality, to degrade the dignity of fatherhood, motherhood, and brotherhood, to deny the spiritual love (Continued on Page Two) sieges hth te Vol. ‘14, No. 45.

TIME T0 THINK BEFORE VOTING ONU.S. SENATOR Nevada City, May 31, 1940. Nugget. Editor Nevada City Dear Sir— z In this mornings issue of your™ paper appear the names of some of -our good citizens’ sponsoring the re-election of Hiram Johnson for United States Senator. I wish every voter could read the article in the San Francisco Chronicle, May 29, 1940, in the safety valve ‘column signed by G. W. Pratt, San ‘Francisco. “I am just wondering how proud our U. S. Senator Hiram Johnson is today on his part in defeating President’ ‘Wilson’s purpose at the end of the last war and if he is still proud of his misrepresentation of Article 10 of the Covenant of the League of Nations to deceive the hysterical public of that day.” Also I am wondering how proud he is of the statement I heard him make more than once. “If I ever receive the support of Mike De Young I will suspect myself.’’ We all -know the _ end of the story. Hiram did co-operate and receive the support of the late Mike De Young and could it be possible he suspects himself? One might attribute these antics to the blanket of charity called “Politics”. In this time of threatened peril voters should consider well the type of man elected to serve us in Washington. Possibly it makes little difference, for when the real emegency is near our dear politicians are given a back seat and the hard headed business. men take the reins. GBORGE A. LEGG. ARDEN KOHLER.

He plans to go to Milton Lake the 10th of June for another vacation. ‘Hopper’ has some almost unbelievable stories to tell of his camping at Fuller. While he and his companion were in a boat. out on the lake fishing they saw a little rattlesnake with one rattle and a button swimming along on the water and killed it. Later while near the rest room at camp they killed a rattler with nine rattles and a button. But the worst luck of all happened when ‘a porcupine came into camp and ate all their bread! STATE GARDEN ONE OF THE SHOW PLACES OF CITY “More beautiful than ever’’ is the expression of those who visit the highway maintenance station flower garden just south of Nevada City. There is a beautiful display of roses and other flowers and armfuls of these choice blossoms were picked for Memorial Day and sent to graves in Sacramento, Placerville, Grass Valley, Nevada City and Downieville. Fred Bush, highway employee in charge of headquarters work, has planted long plpts to many choice young plants which soon will’ be a mass of flowers. In this yard, which is considered one of the best in the state, were found sweet william, petunias, verbenas, dahlias, dwarf and giant marigold, zinnias, phlox, chrysanthemum, carnations, larkspur, delphinium, nasturtium, gladiolas, a dozen varand roses.
