Ad- mittedly putting in an appearance at a patriotic| gathering is not the foremost responsibility of the American patriot, but it is a mark of interest and respect which all may weer with grace Grand Exalted Ruler Joseph G. Buch, who was a vjsitor to Juneau several weeks ago, has put into motion the Elks national defense program adopted by acclamation at the recent Houston convention of the order. The program consists of three points: to uphold and teach Americanism and the democratic form of government; to discover and report treason- able, subversive and fifth column activities in America and to assist in the physical development of the youth of the country. In response to the request of the Grand Exalted | Ruler, the Exalted Ruler of the local Lodge, Ho d| Simmons, has appointed an Elks Defense Committee to carry out the three-point program of patriotic service in Juneau. Chairman of this Committee is H. R. VanderLeest who has made arrangements for tonight's meeting Patriotic loyalty and the preservation of our demo- | cratic form of government have advanced this coun- try to its place of dev-nmb among the nations of | the world and have made possible the liberty, privil- eges and opportunities which we, as American citi- zens, enjoy today.

Cure for Insomnia (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Are you sleeping well these nights, Gentle Reader, | these first nights of autumn, when the bed chamber | is cool, the light blanket grateful, and everything | conspires to sound and dreamless slumber? | Or, do you find your sleep fitful, punctuated | with dreams of the end of the world? And when | occasionally you swim up to consciousness, in the | darkened room, do you remember that black and heavy thought, that fearful foreboding of the day of wrath, which you took to bed with you, that| | nigtmare of the complete destruction of England,| |and the consequent bloody years which must inevi-| tably descend upon America? | Do you perchance start up in the black dark and wonder whether the sixth, seventh, eighth or| 16th air raid of the last 24 hours is devastating Lon-| don—hurling the populating out of beds just like yours, bleeding, mutilated, dying? Do you hear -the cries of the children and the old people? } Do you remember that by and large, making| allowance for their attachment to what strikes us| as an outworn sentimentality called royalty, they| have run, next to America, the most truly demo-| cratic country on earth? | If you suffer from any of this malaise, we can| offer you surcease. All you have to do is to stop| [being patriotic citizens of a democracy and, by‘ | sedulous self-transformation, turn yourselves into| any of several of the categories of people—such as:| First—Pacifists.

And, as far as that point of view goes, those of the preponderant older American strains should be angry, too, because the BrxLisM pushed around our ancestors in 1775, but we taught| them a lesson from which both of us profited, and| probably that got it out of our systems, or | Third—The Communists, Revolutionary Laborit etc., who think it is a fine thing to have capital- istic nations of all kinds fight each other to ex- haustion, so that at the end the Third or Fourth Internationale may prevail. | Of course, there has been a great deal of cross-| breeding among these gent and accurate nomen- clature is difficult. But this is no time to split| hairs. We have shown you, Gentle Reader, the only way to get a sound night's rest in these awful times. For ourselves, we prefer to sleep badly, along with other honest, devoted and courageous folk, till the dawn of America’s new day comes. The third term is a terrible thing, take it from Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California. Hiram ought to know. He is now campaigning| for his fifth term as Senator, and those have not been four-year terms, bul six-year terms. If three short terms are bad for a President, five long terms| are worse for a Senator, especially for one whose principal object ever since he was elected the first time has been to keep out of step with the rest of| | the Senate. But the most ironical comment on Hiram John- 5501\'5 opposition to the third term principle (of course it is a ‘matter purely of principle and not of per- | sonalities with anyone as high-minded as the Sena- tor) is the fact that Johnson was a candidate for Vice-President in 1912 on a ticket headed by Theo- dore Roosevelt, who was running for a third term.
