Udell Building, Highlasd PAGE FOUX THE MENACE OF AUTOCRACY By R‘:zm:d Pitcairn The world, as this is , gazes shocked and amazed at mv;i and ‘:runaflc evidences of the dangers inherent in autoâ€" cratic rul That humanity should be shocked is natural. But that it should be surprised is less understandable. For more than a century and a Mlth has seen, in the great American epic, that where the people ruleâ€"where the press and speech and religion and opportunity are freeâ€"men have attained high standards of living and liberty and happiness. For many centuries it has known that where the reins of power are grasped in the hands of oneâ€"or a fewâ€"the individâ€" ual is oppressed, religion suffers, freedom languishes, and the g:'!tqple are sacrified. on gross altars of hatred and personal amâ€" ion. These are natural outgrowths of the soils in which the two contrastin{:geas of governmentâ€"Democracy and Autocracyâ€" are nourished. The first, Remocracy, is founded on faith; the second, modâ€" ern Autocracy, grew out of Despair. l 5 â€" â€" FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCTOBER 9â€"16 Governor Henry Horner has proclaimed the week of October 9â€"16, Fire Prevention Week, throughout the State of Illinois, and ‘du-ring thip obgervapce,‘every‘geg.ident is urged to check up b; fii'-e;' @+e 7 wegent se Mais mesinpe xi M us ew tntns uy Sb ue S ipncs ue Sud Seveinian :s Soul NeE NOE _ Mrs. O‘Leary‘s cow has been blamed for the major catasâ€" trogl'mvglyl}ich Agggtfoyed. the city of Chicago many years ago. _ The first looks with confidence to the Future; the second, with apprehension of the Past. â€" The first seeks to govern through reason and progress; the second, through blind acceptance and regression. _ â€" slotns.

It is possible, however, even under our modern methods, to have destructive fires, and unless we take precautionary measures, we may well be placed in the category with Mrs. O‘Leary‘s cow. _ Many householders are negligent in the removal of refuse from their premises. Discarded clothing and furniture.is alâ€" lowed to accumulate in attics and basements, which is excelâ€" lent fuel for even the smallest blaze. There are other differences. One, modern Autocracy, gloriâ€" fies that cold abstraction, the State ; the other, Democracy, that warm reality, the family. One glorifies the barracks, the other the home ; one, terriorism, the olther, tolerance ; one, the weapâ€" ons and conquests of war, the other the tools and achievements of peace. One breeds hunger and desperation, the other, comâ€" fort and confidence. The first bases its strength on the freedom of the people; the second, on the thickness of the chains that shackle them. can people should and must cling jealously to that principle of selfâ€"rule. Every surrender, however slighg of the power of the people serves only to weaken our sound heritage of freedom, and to bring closer the black shadow which lowers over so much of Europe. f During Fire Prevention Week, why not follow the advice of Fire Chief Hoskins, and see that our homes are devoid of all fire hazards. May every citizen of this community assume the responsibility of insuring their homes against destruction and thus lower Highland Park‘s fire loss. These are reasons why America established the principle of Government by the People.

Get yourself some new drapes and give your old ones to the rummage sale, folks are always looking for some. Then dishes and ‘antiques always sell fast as often do many of your elephant bridge prizes.
