Are You A Part Time Citizen?
Being* a citizen in a democracy is a full time job. In other
Jorms, of government, the citizenry make up the background,
appearing only in mob scenes to cheer on the rulers of the
nation. '
<. - -
, But there is no room for part time citizens in our form
of government. Our government is us—what "we make - it.
Ours,is the fault.if,the wheels, of government do not "run
smoothly, for the laws we made are the roadbed, and ..the
men we elected are the machine. .' .  . '
A '       Are you apart time citizen? Do you fulfil all your* duties
HP as a voter—or .do, you just, show up at election time to cast
your vote without due consideration of the full qualifications,
record and principles of all candidates?     , , ,     .
Are you a part time citizen? Do you obey the laws you
have had a hand in making—or is your only thought when
you break what seems like an inconsequential little law that
if you get away with it, it's all right?
Are you a part time citizen? Do you evince interest in
all issues or only in those problems which directly concern
you—and then .object when other groups do the same and
infringe on your prerogatives ? Only as citizens work for the
common good of all can democracy progress.
• Are you a part time citizen ? Do you lend an ear to alien
subversive elements who tell you how much better conditions
are or would be for you were there a different form of government? Do you thoughtlessly pass on these tales without
checking on their accuracy or considering their source?
Are you a part time citizen? Do you stand up for democracy or do you condemn its mistakes without consideration
for the good it has to offer? Do you stress only its shortcomings and never its long range program which slowly but
surely and in spite of stumblings, discriminations and'- detours is making this country of ours the best in which we

Ir Now as never before the JLTnitsd spates needs the_.fullj
time allegiance of allotspeople. Don't be a part time citizen! '

Wriy Wait tor War?
Almost every night incendiary bombs are dropped on
England. Any one of these bombs might ignite a whole city.
Yet the English have kept fire destruction caused by such
bombs down to the minimum. They have done that largely
because all citizens feel themselves responsible for fire control. Great Britain, in fighting for the life of the Empire,
has found time to train its people in fire prevention and fire
control.
Will it take a war, with all its bloodshed and horror, to
make us Americans conscious of our responsibility for our
own fire problems? According to the.National Board of Fire
' Underwriters, now celebrating its 75th- anniversary, America
is a backward nation, as regards fire prevention and control.
Our average citizen, has little sense of responsibility for conditions in his community which may cause the destruction
of lives and property. He does not% realize that if he and his
fellow, counti'ymen took proper precautions against fire, the
United States would save enough money to build a Panama
A» canal every two years.
™ England, in the midst, of war, has -roused its citizens to
the danger and the needless expense of fire. Can we Americans be roused in time of peace? This is a challenge that all
of ,us must accept—and it is a challenge which is doubly important now, when fire is an ever-present danger to the swift
development of the defense program. Fire is the enemy of
efficiency, of production—and fire is the enemy of defense.
Every fire prevented means that a step has been taken to
make this country more powerful and secure. This is your
job, and no one else can do your share for you.
The Box Car Tourists
; jf^e war and defense situation is said to be cutting down
the jnumber of box car tourists, or the gentlemen who ride
without paying. The news is given out that one leading railroad expects a 60 per, cent reduction in the number of these
unremunerative passengers.
_.lt-has been a sad sight to see hundreds of thousands of
young men,,roaming-around the country in search of work.
A.good part.of them made their way by holding up their
waggling thumbs, pany may have considered the open
freight car door an invitation, and have pounded over the
rails without paying for it. Not many of them gained any
advantage tnat way, and probably some were hurt in the
precarious adventure of jumping freights.
Socialism Isn't Democratic
, .'It ,is much easier for 'the people to get the government
to. niacin tain proper regulation of private industry than it is
to get 'the government to check on government-owned industry.'. Im'the former case the government is a neutral party;
in the. latter case the government is not a neutral party, and
is not "likely, to regulate without prejudice.
, • For a government to be democratic it must-be neutral.
The J-run'o* tTiat makes democracy is the ever-present exist-
en££ 9/. a.,'neutral force with sufficient strength to outweigh
anyr <P?%orial group. When the,government, owns and operates enterprise, its neutral relations with society are destroyed. If becomes less democratic and more dictatorial. Socialism isn't'democratic!
