Over a month ago The Citizen car- ried news stories and editorials on the sub- ject of Murphy Land Deeds, treating on apparent mishandling of the sales held in all counties of the state arourid the first of the year. Fellowing those articles fully believed that there would be no more we occasion to comment on that subject. Such, however, is not the case. The subject is just as important and of unsolved nature as it was weeks ago. Which all is most disconcerting to county officials here erty in the county at the sales. Officials are unable to deliver the deeds and the bidders are unable to take possession of their lands properly bought up to -this point. If there ever was a case where state oificials have fallen down on their ap- pointed jobs—the case against the Inter-' nal Improvement Board certainly appears to stand out. It’s been a proposition of delay after delay and citizens statewide are pretty much sold cn the idea that those responsible for the inaction and mis- handling are no fit officers for their re- spective jobs. alarming situation in connection ay in delivery of deeds was Clerk Sawyer yesterday en he the lands on the coming tax roll.

CHURCHES FACE THE FACTS The attitude of the churches of the United States toward the present world | situation is remarkable for understanding the grave implications involved. The peace-at-any-price pacifist gets little hearing today. The too-holy-to-fight brother is out of date.
