For practical design purposes the same strength values may be used as lor Douglas fir lContinued from Page 8) ition of Liberty when it declared that "the liberty of one citizen ceases only where the liberty of another citizen commences." Let every human being enjoy his liberty to the utmost, being always certain that it is not at the expense of others. It's a grand thing to protect the rights of others. It's a sublime thing to be owner of yourself, keeping your individual independence, keepirrg the title to yourself in fee simple. To be both just and free is the height of all human ambition. ,<

Liberty is a word hated, by dictators and loathed by power-hunters. Liberty is the blossorn and fruit of justice, the perfume of mercy. Liberty is the seed and soil, the air and light, the dew and rain of p:rogress, love, and joy. Love of Liberty is as old as the love of Life; as old as industry; as old as the idea of property; as old as human love.

In this land of Liberty that we call America, has been accomplished all that we call progress; the enfranchisement of man, of labor, the substitution of fine forr impridonment, the establishment of free speech, of the rights of conscience; in short, al! that has tended to the development and civilization of man; all the results of observation, investigation, experience, and free thought. All that man has accomplished for the development of man has been done in the United States*since*1776.

When the founders of this nation established it as the cornerstone of human liberty, they ordained that men should govern men, but that the power to govern should come from the consent of the governed. Therefore they were self-governed, and with no loss of the precious Liberty to which every root and fiber of our original government was dedicated. ***

Concerning the Liberties and Rights of an American citizen, Henry Clay said: "If there be any description of rights which, more than any other, should unite all parties in all quarters of the union, it is unquestiolably the rights of the person. No matter what his vocation, whether he seeks subsistence amid the dangers of the sea, or draws it from the bowels of the earth, or from the humblest occupations of mechanical life-wherever the sacred rights of ap American are threatened-all parties ought to unite and every arm be braced a "j"1""1. his cause."

All the greatness of the United States was created by the merit system. When we forsake that system, we forsake the way to future greatness. The merit system simply means that the man who can think better, work better, and oroduce better than his fellows, will prosper accordingly. "He profits most who serves best." Else how shall we produce the leaders that this great and growing nation needs? ff men and women are to come with minds and deeds to emblazon future generations, they must come-as they have in the past-from people who strive; for striving tempers and strengthens and builds both brain and sinew.

Reducing working hours and production toward the van- ishing point as a means of boosting employment, can be approved only by the hopelessly unintelligent. Idle people are worthless people. Partly idle people, are partly worthless people. Hard work and serious competition make better men and women, produce all really worth while people. F'rom the ranks of the idle come most of our criminals. The Bible says that by the sweat of their brows they shall live; and you will notice that it failed to make an5r exceptions to the rule. Honest work never hurt anyone, but helps everyane. It is the only highway by which men of small means can climb the ladder of success. Without it they must remain below among the faceless masses. It is,from the minds of men who "never worked and never wi[" that the philosophy of fnore pay for less u7e1k-ms1e leisure and less effort-equal pay for all men regardless of the extreme differences in their productive ability-comes. ***

If we are to have a safe translation from war to peace, we must put our trust in men who know business and finance from successful experience, and who have demonstrated the knack of'success in both.

Been reading America" n*a"t a lot lately. And once again I arrive at the same inevitable conclusion that I always have before, namely, that the two great Civil War leaders, Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee were much alike in their greater characteristics. They were different in their personal appearance, Lincoln having been by all accounts an awkward man of rugged countenance, while Lee possessed great manly beauty and grace. But basically they always remind me of one another. Both had those distinguishing marks of all true .greatness-entire lack of personal vanity, egotism, and ambition. Both were liberally endowed with "that spirit that was also in Christ .fesus." Both were gentle, tender, and possessed great humility, as well as nobility of soul. Yet both possessed such immortal courage as is seldom found among mortal men'

Our casualtv lists swell daily. These heroes died for liberty. They died for us. They are at rest. They sleep under the flaq they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Palace o,f Rest. Earth may run red with other u731s-fhsy are at peace. fn the midst of battle, in the war of confict they found the serenity of death.
