Although the majority of Liberty citizens have al- recognized the fact that this county seat town is only one of the vital forces that makes Liberty County prosperous and attractive, a few selfish Liberty persons have allowed the sentiment to become prevalent that everything good that comes out of Liberty should come out )f Liberty. The other communities of Liberty ('ounty naturally resent this holier-than-thou attitude on the part of a few Libertyites.

Unfortunately, the attitude of the selfish few has sometimes been taken to be the attitude of Lilierty as a whole. This 1940 Fair and Rcxieo is truly an area-wide event. It is a Liberty Fair only in the sense that it is being held on the outskirts of Liberty. The county as a whole is rallying to make the tive-day event the most successlul period of enlightment and entertainment in the history of the county. The Vindicator appeals, then, to the unseltish few (oi- perhaps they are merely unthoughtful) who might say do something to destroy this great cooperative spirit.

It is a trite saying, but no other hits the so forcetully: we stand, divided we FoiP Liberty boys and a boy from Lake enlisted last week I with the National Guards and have be'-n informed they will bepin military training on November 25.

Yet while they congratulate each other, they will also keep aiert to those dangers that forewarned of the mental blackout now darkening the European Fontinent. 'The manacles that tyranny would impose on free speech are not always visible. They are not always described in the catalogues of devices. Thomas Mann, in an in Editor and Publisher, points out that fear may strike at freedom of the press long Ixd'ore any actual government control is exercised. The fall of the House of Ullstein in illustrates this.

Long before the Nazis in a position to dictate policies to this great publishing house or to other influential newspaper publishers, fear operatecl to prevent a coalition of them against the political terroism with which the Hitlerite machine w-as intrenching itself. Hie publishers, who could not be sure that many of their subscribers were not already Nazi, did not dare to embark on an editorial campaign of exposure and denunciation because of jiossible reprisal The leader of the Ullstein lirrn altemptiHl, through a conference, rally these fniblishers, but failed when a piece of terroristic new's was brought to the meei- ing. Fear manacled hands that were still free to strike for liberty. Now those hands are manacled to a government-controlled propaganda machine. Americans do not yet know this fear.

Whether they are readers or publishers, their duty to Ihem.selves and to each other is to prevent fear from taking hokl of tluur thinking, to remain alert to the necessity of free discussion. is w'hy they are more and more frecpiently saying, not happen l)ut shall Monitor (Boston). good oil their farm a.s long as he will stay, wa.s the i-omnieiit of John McGrath, Farm Security in explaining the "Flexible Lease" of FS.A, which he i.s distributing to all who want it of charge. lease dot's not necessarily providt' for a lona-icrrn lease, but if sets up conditions under which jthe tenant ami landlord will be hnlped to work out arrangements whicli will ht'iicfif both of them and uill thorn fo want to continue such said the suiifi visor.
