LET’S USE OUR BRAINS

The world today is upside down, and America is not the least of the countries floundering in the throes of internal disturbances. Each day sees an increase in the discord and unrest which prevails, but we of this community should not be drawn into the maelstrom. We should take no step in this direction without due and careful

consideration. Above all, wa should never permit a buUUJTOUS minor' ity to stampede the eane and sensible majority. We should preserve our American Institutions In the true American manner. . We want production and prosperity, but we can expect neither unless right and justice prevail. And this we will have only when opposing interests come together to a cato and dispassionate manner for a fair and reasonable discussion of their differences. The Lord gave us brains with the expectation that we would use them in the proper manner. He gave us understanding, that we might employ it in determining the good from the bad, the wise from the foolish. Let’s use the brains God gave us.
