We've all known, of course, that Uncle Sam was kicking
up his heels and cutting some fancy capers of late. He’s been
in the papers quite a lot, uttering aphorisms, epigrams, edicts
and social and economic profundities on a thousand and one
occasions. We had, in fact, credited him with a high-powered
vocabulary and,an amazing versatility.
But now we learn the sad truth
bright sayings are not his at all. He’s got a high-priced “ghost
writer’’—in fact, 300 of ‘em at salaries totaling,
per year—turning out’ those gay quips and

Uncle, it seems to us, is getting to be quite a costly feliow.
He used to complain about “Big Business” spending too rauch
for press-agentry, but business is just a small-time piker compared to uncle. Uncle, we suspect, has become what the boys
used to call “‘a publicity hound’’! We don’t mind that so much
but $250,000,000 a year is a lot of money. We could do with
fewer press releases. And uncle might then be able to pay off

People Without Light
“Give the people light, and they will find their way,” is
Democracy's motto. It expresses faith in the. people, and their
right to the truth.
Witness _ the tragedies of countries where the people
have no light, where public opinion is a reflection of fanatical propaganda, and where truth and honesty are in shackles.
Recently the sadly goaded peasantry of Poland rose in desperation against a militarist regime. They appealed for a word of
support to their great leader, Ignace Paderewski,
ing in Switzerland, who from
now _liv1924 to 1921 fought heart and
soul for a united, self-governing Poland, and was its premier
and foreign minister.
The venerable, shaggy-maned pianist responded to their
plea, urging the zcvernmcnt to let the people decide their
own future:destiny and warning government leaders to avoid
the disaster of dictatorship which smote Fascist Germany and
Communist Russia.
This would seem to be sound advice. And a national
hero like Paderewski would seem to have a right. to comment
upon his country’s affairs. But what happened? The government suppressed the newspapers which dared print his
endorsement of the aims of the suppressed peasants. Thus public opinion which might have been mobilized to do good was
deprived of the weapon of truth.
‘ Such events, it’s true, are not our immediate concern.
But they help bring home to us the fact that an enlightened
public opinion is not something constant and eternal like the
mition of the sun and tides. It is a treasure whose price can
only be paid with eternal vigilance !—Contributed.

snuggling down under the rose moss,
pink, yellow and red, swayed by the
sweet morning breeze; timid little
violets peeking around some rock—
all hedged about by morning glories
of many colors, on a background of
rich emerald, with the warm sun
shining from a clear blue sky and the
birds singing.

The following article from the

when we realize the great advantages of today as compared with
chances of early pioneers when they

CAMPTONVILLE — A prize was
recently offered to the local high
school by Acton M. Cleveland for the
best composition on a comparison of
the schools of today with those of
long ago. Some very good pieces
were turned in and George Butz won
the prize. This was mentioned in the}
columns of the local newspaper and
a reader from North San Juan sent
the following to Mr. Cleveland:
