SELF-DETERMINATION
Perhaps the worst form of undue influence which
always crops out at campaign times is false propaganda.
This kind of political persuasion is subtle and cunning.
The voter finds himself separating the wheat from the
chaff and it is no easy task. But everyone is supposed to
have a set of brains and with them they should do their
own thinking and not be driven like a bunch of sheep.
When the right of the voter to use his ballot free
from force either of personal influence or false state
ments shall be imperiled the foundations of free govern
ment are shaken. So let us have our stump speeches and
button-hole arguments, and so on, but let us guard and
protect our right of self-determination at the ballot box.
DEPARTED GLORIES
To what lowly uses have our pristine glories des
cended! Think of a back bar being used for the plebian
refuge of un-named pies and health breads. Formerly
tuese very same sacred precincts shown resplendently
with such attractive labels as “Queen Anne”, “Black and
White ’, “Dewars”, “Four Roses”, “Mum’s Extra Dry”,
an
< .e
da
Brook”, and “Old Crow”. Now they rattle sordid
ana nonowiy to tin plates of pumpkin out of a can, cus
tard with cocoa nut whiskers and banana pie caught in
’ ■ iast freezeup. They even have the affrontry to pro
o!aim canned corn from Iowa when it used to be bottled
corn from Kentucky. To what base uses have we descend
ed! With good old Omar we exclaim,
“Ah Love, if w~e could but conspire
“To grasp this sorry scheme of things entire
“And shatter it to bits
“And then remold it to our hearts desire.”
Now that the 'peace pact is signed the nations may
go ahead with their war plans without exciting suspicion.
The difference between a judge and a newspaper
man is only slight. One puts you in a place where you
can’t see anybody; the other places you in a position
where you don’t want to see anybody.
