“THINKING POLITICALLY”
The author who purchased two weekly newspapers
to settle down to “small town’’ life, says he has a hard
time taking sides in party battles because he can not
‘Think politically.”
There are a good many people just like this author
who are having the same difficulty. But the great dan
ger to our institutions is not so much the failure to think
politically as it is to think governmentally. All citizens
should be able to devote thought to government affairs,
state affairs and local problems without necessarily align
ing themselves in a political way. But political parties
under our system of government are means to ends. For
the very same reason no one person could very well see
a community project in Seward carried thru alone, he
could not by himself pass or repeal a law. Thinking “gov
ermnentally”, that is, taking a interest in public affairs,
is an admirable talent. After the matters have been
thought out to the best of one’s ability, he must necessari
ly seek the aid of party action in order to expect his ideas
to be translated into realities.
As usual, farm relief afforded by government action
will result in an increased crop of political plums.
GERMANY’S 60-MILE MYSTERY GUN
Big Bertha’s secret has never been disclosed. Big
Bertha, from its secret emplacment near Laon, began to
bombard Paris 10 years ago last month, with its 40 milli
meter shells. The big gun was dismantled long before
the Armistice, and the formula for her manufacture hid
den or destroyed. The secret of Big Bertha is still unex
plained. When will the mystery be solved?
The Anti-Saloon League of Chicago has come out
with its endorsement of candidates for Congress and the
State Assembly, and once more it proves that a league en
dorsement is a guarantee of onlv one thing, that the en
dorsee is officially, though not necessarily personally, dry.
Other qualifications mean nothing.
Chicago’s reign of terror could rightly be called a:
“rain of bombs.”
Sixty-one bombs have been exploded in Chicago since
October 11, 1927. The causes assigned are various. No
convictions have resulted. Let your conscience be your
guide.
A bomb a day will keep all away.
