Why should we favor our system rather than another? what should we answer? Could we not say that democracy IS nothrng more than an attempt to apply the prrnclples of the Brble to human socrety? ls thts not a better phrlosophy than Relrgron IS the oprate of the people or The end Justrfres the means ? Whrle the drama unfolds rtself before our eyes we the spectators should ask ourselves Are our bodres and souls whrch are now th1rst1ng for the thrllls adventures and knowledge of hte to be uselessly expended on a battlefleld and forgotten before we have tasted the frults of lrfe? Should we fear our future l1fe and the multrple complexmes 1t brtngs wrth lt? Instead let us remember that fear IS a natural phenomenon and that everyone at one tlme or another IS afrard The pornt IS however a coward obeys hls fear and runs whereas a brave man recogmzrng fear for what rt IS cont1nues onward Let us remember also ljranklrn Delano Roosevelts rmrnortal words that brought comfort to a panrcky natron rn a trme of dtstress We have nothmg to fear but fear rtself As wrth everythrng else the value of llberty IS enhanced by the drffrculty of attarnrng lt There are those who belreve that rt takes a threat such as commumsm to awaken the people to the fact that all the lrbertres whrch we take for granted are on the threshold of berng forcefully wrested from us If we are to contlnue l1v1ng ln a socrety of free men we must take actron vrolent rf need be to preserve that whrch IS the very core and foundatron of our natron Lrberty must not be surrendered at any cost lf we wlsh our chlldren and our chrldren s chrldren and all generatrons to follow to be able to walk on thts earth as free men fearmg no one except God and nothrng except the wrath of God Each person must flnd peace w1th1n hrmself before he can flnd the gurdrng hand that wrll help hrm weather all storms and crtses l have found my torch to lead tne way when darkness comes Farthl rn God democracy and myself a farth that I know wtll carry me on to whatever herghts rt IS destrned that I should attarn I am no longer afrardl ALLEN FEINGERTZ I3 1 11 1 ' - 1 1 1 1 ' 1 1 1 ' 1 I - - 1 11 . 11 . ., - tt -- - - 11 tt 1 , ., ,, 1 1 1 tt . . .. 1 1 1 1 . . .. . . . .,, - 1 1 1 1 1 ' . . 1 . 1 . . . . . tt . 1 . 11 1 I . 1 1 1 .. . , . . 1 1 , ,...
