AS MAINE GOES N Experiences over the past 1G years have dulled the significance o f the old saying, “ As Maine goes, so goes the nation." Knowing that, there is not much gloating, even among Republicans, over the triumph of the GOP in the Maine election. From a standing start Maine’s lady Republican was elected to the senate, the first time that has happened in the USA. All along the line the GOP piled tin landslide record votes. The most foolish thing the Repub­ lican party could possibly do is su iie anil quote, “ As Maine goes, so gees the nation.” The GOP vic­ tory in Maine is helpful and en­ couraging, but it should stand as a challenge fo r voting in other states, va.her than a sure in­ dication that it’s all over hut counting the votes. CURING COMMUNISTS There is r.o cure for commu­ nism. Communism eliminates self from everything. The Russian brand substitutes for self the generalissimo who heads up all the thinking and the worship. Nothing is less human. To cure folks of communism soak them in communism for even a short time. Of course ignorant people accept it, for it means being cared for. The Israelites were cared fo r by the Pharoahs. They had food to eat and straw to sleep on, hut they lacked the one thing that is the deepest craving in all human hearts--liberty. Russian commu­ nism stamps out liberty and free­ dom. People will not tolerate that kind of tlualldom long. So to cure communism, use comma asm.— SAVING TIME The front-page tag on the late issue o f the Saturday Evening Post is the title of a special article fo r the week, “ Why I Will Nut Vote for Wallace.” Being a free American like we are, and having decisions o f our own to make every minute, .ve saw* a chance to save a few hours’ time by not reading the article. Our private reason for not voting fo r Wallace is that with all the freedom v,x arc granted in Ameri­ ca they stiil don’t let us vote for but one man for president, and since we are going to votd for Dewey we have already handled the subject matter of the article. And, also, why th author isn't voting* for Wallace doesn't par- ticulary interest us. HE OUGHT TO KNOW Clarence J. Brown, “ Brownie” that ir, our servant in the House, has bee:: d-rwn on his farm, near Blanche-ier. Back in Washington he said for publication that lower prices on farm products will help the GOP. Says he: “ I was offered $1.10 a bushel for this year’s corn. I got $2.10 last year. That means a reduction in food prices. It should help the Republicans.” Being a farmer himself, the con­ gressman realizes that it’s the hard way that he cites for the GOP to get more votes. YOU NAME IT Colossal stupidity would fit. Criminal negligence could be the name fo r it. It was both. Our so- called diplomats in the closing days of the war, at the insistence of the commander in chief, held up General Patton for nearly a month to permit “ our great dem­ ocratic, Christian ally, Josef Sta­ lin” to enter Berlin first! Then vve chose as the American sector o f the captured city the area completely surrounded by the Russian-controlled zone. Wc ask­ ed for it, remember! SHE. STILL GRUNTS A Minnesota animal trainer has taught a hog to wear a dress and eat unslopphhly out of a plate; she also pats her clothes away in a hamper, unhampered, and can run a vacuum cleaner. But she still grunts! W e note that a college adver­ tises in percussion.

There would he r.o argu­ ment about that The question is: What ro '/x c o city better? Four different id*. - s -: ‘ that line—two very had t ::cs arc: two good ones—can be seen the story of Acts 19. You should read the si.ry it-..If before looking uver these com­ ments. Because we are Le;;:r.n *~g toward the end of the sRry, v...h the very lowest and silhest cl the four ideas how to make a city tet­ ter. It is a very simple idea- Just "holler.” yell, make a clenv.astra- tion. Make it long, make it l ui, and the city will be the’ hotter h r it. For two mortal hours that ab­ surd mass-meeting kept the ur r _.r going: "Great is Diana t f the Ephesians!” A curious tiling, the raeb- mind. If something is true, bow can noise make it truer? If a thing is a lie, how can all the shouting in the world make it respectable? But the mob-mind thinks that if a thing is said loudly enough and by enough people, it is bound to be true. So that theater-full of l : : Is ’’...Nid a good afternoon shouting a he ;\*c the deaf blue heavens. It dlu Flora no good. She was as dead as Mar- ley's ghost, she had never Uvea, in fact. It was no use drumming up ’ the decibels. Do you kr.jv,- r.e.; !e j who think they can make y; ur tc.vr: better by shouting about ti? It won’t work. You can moke a tow; c r . county famous if ycu skeut enough; but you won’t make it bet­ ter. * * Making Money T HE SILVERSMITHS ti etc Ephesus had ancti.yr tie The way they looked a' it. tee­ thing is money. They u..ed t money selling their little s.hor shrines. Now this felk.v Pu:a had come along, persuading p ttjle tl:..t hand-made gods are r.o gads at :.!I. and the trade in "sacred" ir.nNtr. had fallen off. It locked like u l .. c year for the silversmiths To make things better, they decided, they needed more money. Merc Las: ness! More production! The fact that what they produced was mt only worthless but actually harm ful, did not seem to bather them Do you know people like that tc day? * * * Abiding By the Law T HE TOWN CLERK of Ephesus had a simple idea, vastily bet­ ter than these other two. He saw no sense in the mass meeting, he : seems not to have been taken in a-y j the silversmiths* crocidile tears. If * anything was wrong in Ephesus, he said, the courts were optn am : trials were open, and trials could be held. We have laws—let u.- live by them; that was the gist of if;.- ’ Idea. That is not bad advice. : All honor to the honest ser- ants of the public who now as then give their best efforts to i seeing that good laws are made and well enforced. s r * * * : Changing Lives S PEAKING OF LAW?, there are three kinds of people in ;ke world. One kind will not cbey. the laws whatever they are. These are the criminal classes. A seccnd k.-.d. say "inside the law” but t’.;.'1;- . never advance a step beyond them A third kind, too rare, will g;> fa: beyond the law's requirements in personal living and in social help­ fulness. Now Paul had been m the city cf Ephesus for some months. dill! he had nothing to do with the laws «f that city. Yet what he was doing was more effective in making that I city better than anything the courts could have done. For what he was doing was nothing less than changing lives, “ The trouble with people is that they’ re people,” and the busi­ ness of Christianity first or all Is changing people. It is no use hanging out the slogan, "For a Better City” unless you are working for better people. A tree is _no healthier than its roots, and a emununity’s rods are the characters of her people. And from St. Paul's day to this, the one and only organization which sets out to change people from the in-1 side, is the Christian church. { » * « } (Copyright by the International Council of Religious Education on behalt of 40 Piowslant denornlnatlons.
