WAR BABIES
‘At a time when almost everything else is rationed, the
United States is having a bumper crop of babies, according to
the statistics released by the Census Bureau.
We don’t know wether the war has anything to do with
this increase in America’s posterity, but we do know that it is
about the best index there is to what thousands of fathers and
mothers think of our country’s future. _ It indicates that the
parents of the United States face the future with courage,
confident that their. children will have every opportunity to
live full and purposeful lives, safe, good. lives.

MAKING DEMOCRACY 'WORK
(From The Sonoma Index-Tribune)
“Sixteen midwest congressmen have proved they can
take it. They met with businessmen and farmers in day-long
conferences to listen—not to talk. It gave the citizens an opportunity to “get it off their chests.’’ And they did. These congressmen will have a pretty good idea of what the “folks back
home” expect of them when they return to Washington next
month. .
_ More of these get-togethers are desirable. While it is not
possible for any public official to please all of his constituents,
such meetings put him in touch with those he represents and
makes him better able to carry out the desires of the majority.
Democracy today is facing one of the severest challenges in all history, both from without and within. Axis leaders
term it ‘decadent’ and out-moded. We smile at these charges.
But we are too inclined to take democracy for granted. We
are not fully aware that we have to make democracy work—not let it work, or let the other fellow work it.
; Right now, our big job is winning the war, but “winning
the war will not in itself preserve democracy. We must be
alert to the forces within that would divide us through racial,
religious, or class hatred. Now, more than ever is the time for
us all to be pulling together, striving to unify our nation. Now
is not the time for high officials to sound the war drums. for
further strife between capital and labor.
As long as congress truly represents the people we need
have little fear. But it is our job as individual citizens. to see
that congress fulfills that function. And meetings between
congressmen and the people, whenever possible, is one of the
best methods of doing it.” : i

pertinent to this locality where Cougressman C. F. Lea has

regulations and practices. Mr. Lea will return to Washington

OLD ENOUGH TO FIGHT—OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE?
; (From the Sonoma Index-Tribune)
The opinion of voters in at least one state of the union is
that if youths of 18 can fight they should also vote. We fail
to see any analogy. While there may be boys who will vote
intelligently, perhaps as intelligently as some of the electorate, voting is more than casting a ballot or should be if demo‘eracy.is to endure. Not only are the merits of political candidates to be decided and the platforms on which they seek elecn to be anaylzed but the intricate proposals and propositions
ich come up at state elections must also be digested. These
re hard nuts to crack for any of us but to get at the kernel or
