CIRCULATION OVER 7,000 COPIES EACH WEEK EDITORIAL ARMISTICE—THE LIVING AND THE DEAD On Friday, of this week the United States celebrates Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of the World War. Twenty years have passed since the eventful day in 1918 that the order was given to all armies to cease firing. Now, it appears, the war to end war was not a success. The struggle to make the world safe for democracy seems to have been a failure. Quite recently, the nations of the world were precariously balanced between peace and an- other frightful struggle. In recent years, and for various reasons, something of a cynical attitude has developed toward the idealism of the days of the World War. There has been a tendency to forget the great leadership of President Woodrow Wil- son and the patriotic service of many millions of Ameri- cans. This is, perhaps, a natural reaction to the disillu- sionment and despair in the face of ever-arming and in- creasingly belligerent family of nations. So far as The Centre Democrat is concerned, we are not yet ready to write off the participation of this country in the World War as a total loss. While quite willing, in he face of present conditions, to admit a temporary set- back, we still cherish the dream of a warless world, safe for democratic peoples. In the progress of humanity, this end will one day be achieved. And Americans, at least, can take pride in the fact, that in the World War, one nation in the great struggle, in the midst of suffering dared to Iream dreams and to see visions. Quite naturally, our thoughts of Armistice Day turn to the heroes who served their country, and especially do we render homage to the brave ones who perished in the fight. Their sacrifice was not in vain if Americans retain faith in their ideals and if the United States continue to follow a course of unselfish service for all the peoples of the world. Many of those who gave up life in the service of their country are mourned and missed by loved ones. The departed can do nothing for them, but a grateful people can see that they are taken care of. It is a solemn duty that the nation owes its heroes. It is an obligation that should rest heavily upon their living comrades in arms. Let us, then, on this Armistice Day, revere the dead and take care of the loved ones for whom, unfortunately, they can do nothing now. ECLIPSES, RELIGION AND SCIENCE The eclipse of the moon, which occurred early this week, illustrates the progress that human beings have made in the understanding of natural events. Before the dawn of astronomical science, eclipses were not understood and, consequently, in Rome, at one time, it was blasphemy and punishable by law, to talk publicly of their being due to natural causes. The Chineses, it is recorded, imagined that eclipses were caused by great dragons trying to devour the sun and moon and on one occasion, something like 2,000 years B. C., two state astronomers were put to death on the occasion of a solar eclipse because they were drunk, and, therefore, in- capable of attending to their duties. Fortunately, for human beings, the study of astron- omy has revealed the causes of eclipses which can be pre- dicted with accuracy for many years ahead of their oec- curence. No longer do men attribute them to supernatural powers and, among civilized people, no occult influences are suspected. While the intelligence that has been acquired by hu- man beings has robbed eclipses of their supernatural as- pect, there is, so far as we can judge, no lessening of re- spect for the Creator of the Universe. In fact, an under- standing of the laws of nature should increase the rever- ence of an educated mind. There was, we suppose, in an earlier day, a conflict between religion and science in regard to eclipses. Happily, this conflict has been dissolved by the truth as revealed to men, with no lessening of religion as a result. Those who care to, may find a lesson in regard to eclipses. Hap- pily, this conflict has no conflict between religion and Seience in regard to other truths that science has estab- ished. FORD, BETS AGAINST WAR The Honorable Henry Ford has quite a reputation as an automobile builder. When he talks about automobiles, he speaks as an expert, with a record of achievement that entities him to a hearing and compels respect for his words. However, when he says, “I'll bet anyone even money there will never be another war,” the chances are that he is just talking. If he is not, and if he means what he says, there are a number of people in the United States anxious and willing to take him up on the bet, confident that soon- er or later they will take down the cash. With an undeclared but none-the-less bloody, inexcus- able war being waged in China by aggressive Japan, with a struggle going on in Spain that has all the earmarks of a war, with Arabs and Jews fighting bitterly in and around Palestine, with European nations feverishly arm- ing themselves for an expected outbreak of war and with several countries in South America having arguments of their own, it would seerfi that the odds are against Mr. Ford. We wish we could be as optimistic as he seems to be, | but, so far as we can read the signs, the leading nations of t wide” " WS orld are getting ready for another war ena world- THE CENTRE DEMOCF , BELLEFONTE, PA. — ——————e | THE Orrick CAT “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” Slips That Pass In The News (From the Henly, Neb., Press) FOR SALE--Musical Instruments, raalo, victroln, and bed springs 0.
