npllli old campmectlug hymn
which' exhorts till present to
count tholr liuiny bTessings, nam
ing thorn over carefully one by
one, might not bo a bad theme
song for the peoplo of tho United
States those days.
Counting your blowings may
glvo you a touch of sinful pride,
but it also helps you to realism
how valuable some of the bless
ings really arc; and Hint in turn
makes it much loss likely that you
will submit 'meekly if and when
Homebody 'dome's along and trloq
' to lake them away from you.
And the blessing that might, bo
examined most closely Just now
Ib "that familiar,' muc'ti-talked-'dT,
take mfor-g ran ted tiling a free
press. x
You can appreciate it best by
having a look at tho sort of thing
that happens whore a free proas
does not exist.
"A current 'dispatch from Horllu
to the Now York Herald-Tribune
begins like this:
'Tho'nn.l press Attained now
heights today in Its ehoico of vlo
lont language to condemn the
Czechs Tor 'arrogant, terroristic
acts' in sudeten territory. Stream
er htmdjines in 'Dor Angriff,' or
gnn of -1'roimganda Minister Paul
Josoph Goobbels, read: 'Sudeton
land in (iroatust Distress Violent
Terror 'of Czech Bands Unleash
ed Mobs Raging Through Deut
Belies La ml.' "
PlcttiYo to yoursoir, now, the
way yo.u would fuel, as an ardent
und patriotic (iermnn, after you
ha a Hud on that kind of diet for
a week or so. Yu wduld be
atralnlng at tho loush probably. He
fore lojig you would bo in a frame
of mind to support any warlike ac
tion your government m I g h t
chooso.to Indulge la, and in tho
end you would probably hall war
Itself igt a noble act or liberation
and a blow against a shameful ty
ranny. I
Behind tho scenes, of course,
uro wirepullers who want Hie
whole 'Tcrninn nation to feel pre
cisely that way. The nazi press
campaign Is simply a means of
making sure that Hitler will have
solid support for nay belligerent
course lie may take. And since no
one can present tho other side of
tho question since no paper In
all Germany can hint tint these
reports from Czechoslovakia are
overdrawn tho press campaign is
' bound to succeed.
And that means that tho (ier
man people have been placed at
tho mercy of their own emotions.
They can be played upon by their
own government, and they have
no defense because every avenue
through which their emotions can
bo reached, every lulet for news
and propaganda, is in the hands of
the government.
It is that sort of thing which a
free press prevents. Propaganda
does exist, of course, even where
the press Is free, and false reports
. do circulate; but there is always a
counter weight on the other side.
The citizen has a chance to use
his own judgment.
What Ik happening In Germany
right now is perhaps the most
powerful of ail possible arguments
for a free, uncontrolled press.
One ot the. grandest I'nip'jua

The Story So Far
A plot Is on foot to smash the
Halter T, and "Blur" Ankrom
takes a job there to help lovely
Lee Truno. She buvos his life by
shooting an impostor, K e 1 1 o n
Dreaii but lie learns this cn!y
after iJrean's accomplice, Hetty,
causes trouble between them.
Katchford, the sherlir, tells An
krom that Chiydell, a neighbor
ing rancher, is after tho Trones'
laud because u railroad is going
through. Ankrom accuses Clay
dell. Chapter 2(i
Claydell's Answer
, Claydell's bustiy -eyebrows lrew
sharply. ldown.,a,bove ihisn. yellow

shiny black boots drew erect.
"Is this meant to be a joke?'' he
asked.
"Doos it sound like a joke to
you?" . .
"it sounds to mo like the ravjng
of a crazy man," Ulaydoll said
contemptuously. "J)o you think I'd
bo tool enough to do such things
for tho sake of a paltry railroad
right-of-way? Use your head!"
"I'm usiu' It. Want to hear the
rest?"
"If it will give you any relief
to elnborato further, by all means
spin ahead."
Ankrom nodded. "Tim railroad
right-of-way Is not tho only thing
you'ro after. You would indeed bo
a fool to risk so much for that.
But that ain't all. You plan to
build a town alongside tho pro
posed tracks about half a mile
from tho valley housing Trone's
homo ranch. Your ultimate objeet
is to dam Trone's valley in an at
tempt to boom Uat'ler T land to
the hinirh nf timt.e-Hnelf nrtt (lie
railroad Is going to entice in for
you!"
'So!" Claydoll expelled a cloud
of smoko fro mhis postrils. "A
likely yarn," he jeered. "Tho only
difficulty is In getting people round
here to swallow it. I think that's
where you're going u run up
against a snag, mister." A calcu
lating gleam shone from the yel
low eyes. "Mind telling me where
you gathered a I Ithese notions?
Did Halchord unload them on
you ?
"Why Hati hfonl?" A n k r o m
countered. "What's ho got to do
with It?"
"That's something I'd give a
deal to know." Claydell inhaled
deeply, held silent for somo
lime while ho regarded Ankrom
through the smoke.
"I'll tell you somethlnt:.' "he said
at last. "Tom Italehford's got it in
tor me. He'd like nothing better
than to catch me mixed up on the
wrong sido of trouble. You see the
point."
"What point?"
Claydell took a turn about the
room, lie stopped to face Ankrom
squarely. "Katehford gave yen
these notions to focus your Inter
est." "Why would ho want to do
that?'
"How do I knew? I told you he
didn't like me. He's been laying
tor me for years. The KaU-hfnrds
are a breed who don't forget "
"lVm't forget what?" Ankrom
cut in swiftly.
Claydell snorted. "Oon't forget
anything! Years ago there wan a
sort of raime war in this country.
The ranchers hero wore trying to
keep out nesters, squatters, home

Trone came in. lie was a bell

was not convinced. Like his own
accusations of Claydell, the ranch
! er's case against Katchford had a
' number of loopholes.
' Iloth the sheriff and the boss of
the Swinging J undoubtedly hated
each other. Hut whether the rea
sons given by Claydell were the
correct ones, Ankrom could . not
decide. It was quite possible that
neither the sheriff nor Claydell
were behind these things which
were happening. Kach. in thetr
enmity, would naturally suspect
tho other.
Ankrqm's thoughts shifted to
Hetty Struthers. It was plain to
him now that hor words to him
concerning Leo and concerning
tho killing of Kelton Dreau were
deliberate lies. She had been seek
ing to prejudice him in her favor;
to drive, if she could not lure
him, away from Lee. .
Ho recalled now Itatchford's
) killed by a sl6g from, a forryflve
calibre pistol. The one the golden
girl bad forced upon him had been
a short-barreled thirty-two. How
could he have missed the signifi
cance of this these many (lays?
Why the girl had said herself un
der the sheriff's questioning that
Oreau used a thirty-two she had
forced upon Ankrom Drean's own
gun!
He laughed shortly. "An artful
baggage if 1 ever saw one she'd
ought to ' have taken up the
stage!"

gaunt old man had been drinking,
for there was a bottle almost
empty beside his elbow and his
eyes were red and surly.
"Well." Trone grunted. "What
happened? What's the matter
with your ear? Did you drive
them off?"
This was not the reception An
krom had been expecting. He
squared his shoulders. "Isn't Lee
here?"
"Of course she's here! What's
that go to do with what I asked
you? What's the matter with your
ear?"
"A bullet nipped It."
"Did you have a corpse an'
cartridge occasion at the camp?
What happened to the other fel

Ankrom admitted. "What other
fellow are you. talkin' about?"
"The feirow that knocked that
slice from your ear."
"I didn't see. I was busy that
particular time."
"Weil, what happened?" Trone
growled. "Say something'! Do I
have to get a rope an' drag it from
you?" t ,
"I shot up two or three gents an'
the rest cleared out."
Trone swore. "You tell it like a
tea-party! Is that all you got to
say? Wasn't Heffle there? If he
was I'm bettiu' strong there was
some action!" ,
"He was there." Ankrom drawl
was bitter. "His light wa3 the first

Trone's glance flashed excite
ment. "Clood! I'd have give a year
of my lifo to have seen that! I'm
glad you cashed his chips. What
else happened?"
