Are we dying of fever?

THE EDITOR: The human liver is the main organ of our blood supply. If it fails to operate for any reason we can get a fever that envelops the entire body. The same thing applies to the body politic wherever and whatever is the organic source of that complaint. The fever envelops the entire political body and eventually devours it. That is the type of fever that we have to deal with today.

If we are not careful in dealing with this malady at its source and to correct what is wrong, then the whole body politic would go to pieces and die a feverish death. The body politic in this country is unhealthy. We are slowly dying of a fever that we cannot control. We are like the patient who cannot help himself and has to go from doctor to doctor at great expense if he can afford it. Where and when will all of this end? When shall we get out of our misery on our own legs and do something about ourselves? The poor are getting poorer everyday and people are being laid off while the rich are getting richer. This ever-widening gap between the rich and poor has got to be narrowed to control this fever that now envelops our nation.
