Our Country Right or Wrong CONSUMING DESIRE ESSENTIAL The United States came into being because a majority of our public leaders and the peo- ple were consumed with a genuine desire to be free men and the' masters of government. The world has progressed because groups of people had an undying faith in certain phil- osophies of religion or human conduct in which they believed. How many people in the United States to- day are uncompromising in their desire to re- Paper Makers Continue To Hold Softball League Lead (Continued From Page 1) for the latter, which leaves the Ro- tarians holding the cellar position undisputed. tain personal liberty and democracy within the framework of our republic? Of late years there have been too many politicians insinu- ating that as a nation we have outgrown the constitutional ideals on which this country was founded. A majority of our people must have a con- suming desire to retain independence at all costs, just as our forefathers had the desire to gain it at all costs, or the United States as we have known it will be but an era in the history books-bureaucracy will have sup- planted democracy. As a nation, we cannot survive as free men if we submit to being the "tended herd" of a socialized government toward which we have been rapidly drifting. There are a lot of optimists here in Port St. Joe who think the war is all over except for the shouting. Indications are that it's over except for most of the shooting. Wouldn't the country be in an uproar if the news peddled over the back fence was published in the newspapers? J. A.
