LINCOLN ON LAW Abraham Lincoln: Let every man remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood of Ids father, and to tear the charter of his own and his child re rds liberty. Let roveronce for the laws be breathed by every American mother tc tftii lisping babe that prattles on her iap. Let it. be taught, in the schools, in seminaries, in colleges. Let it be preached ffrom the pulpit, proclaimed in the legislative halls and enforced in the courcs of justice. And, ir. short, let it become the political rejigum of the nation, and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions sac? rifice unceasingly upon its altar. # FORCE BILL TACTICS (News and Observer.) [ "'jig Not long after the last election two ,si?hW? cjb*7flHo nf Woi??/v.i were indicted in the Federal courts I on the charge of "conspiracy'' to &&[/-jSi' commit frauds in the election. Years -ago Mr. Lodge tried in vain to seH cure the passage of the motoricux Force bill which would oust all local authority and give Federal ^marshals ^control of elections in every precinct, jgj when a member of Ccngie-r^ Avas being chosen. That opt was hilled^? "dead and damned'' -and he, serious : ; : attempt has ever been inade.vtp^enact |it. There was on,''the Looks a statute coming down from Keiconsbroctipn ^aVs> under. which it was believed state control might be onstod.lt was -u repealed. The slate was wiped clean of all such Force bill acrs. -"claiming- the right :tp interE" fere on the charge of conspiracy one Federal Court claimed jurisdiction of charges growing out of elections. In the case of United Staies vs. Mosely (U. S. Supreme Court, 59th Uav> Edition. 238. 238 U- S. page 1356) the late Justice Lamar wrote a great disjj^fejaS seating opinion that cuts the ground from under that sort of prosecutions (persecutions would be a belter designation) that were instituted in Watauga. No mar. can read Lamar's able argument without (being convinced is usurpation for the Federal ^ courts to undertake to control elecIt may be asked if charges of eleetion frauds should go uninvestigated and wrongful acts go unpunished. | By no means, if any of the 39 people charged with violating the election laws are guilty, there is an honorable forurn established by law in which all the facts can be brought out and U guilty parties punished, if there is || evidence against any or all of them it should be presented to the gTand Jfe juTy of Watauga county. The citizens ft of that county belong about equally to the members of both political parties, and most of the members of both parties are upright men and would not cloak election frauds. The Federal courts were not in stituted to usurp the powers of State SNOW CLEARANCE In the early days of good roads in North Carolina not much attention was paid to clearing the highways of snow, largely becanse the road forces J were not properly organized for that work, but under present-day dispensation the road forces keep an eye| _ on coming 3now falls. The plar. of operation has illustration in the case Kg. of Watauga County. The Democrat -.f reports that, all through last Tuesday Kpsiy; night maintenance crews in the diff f "JVj ferent sections of the connty labored clearing the snow from the surface of the highways and making them '& safe for motor transportation. Shortly Who Can Pass Thi tLJ1" after nightfall it appeared thai "the big snow" had come and the watchful foremen took no chances on the weather getting the upper hand, but with power-driven scrapes, kep'. the highways clear throughout the night. In this way, the (rood roads of North Carolina are kept good for travel, even when snow abounds, which, in this section of mild winters, is infrequent. i &&;. ' I j "The Way of Life" By BRUCE BARTON PRAYERS A lady from Kansas sends a very personal question: "Have you," she asks." ever known of any instance of the efficiency of prayer?" The answer is, Yes. And this is the story. Years ago when my revered friend Dr. William Goodell Frost left his comfortable professorship of Greek at Oberlin College to take the presidency of the struggling little college at Bcrea, Kentucky, his friends thought he had made a terrible mistake. l The buildings were old and dilap! Idatcd. The faculty was underpaid. | There were plenty of debts, and no I income. The president, in addition to phis. scholastic duties, was cxnected | to vide the rails from city to city I and beg for funds to meet the curI rent expenses. j Frost was a seer and a prophet. He knew the sterling character of the Kentucky mountain people; he was thrilled by the vision of what Berea College could mean to them. Full of courage, he journeyed up to Cincinnati and called upon the pastor of the leading Protestant Church. "Will you invite some of the gen : erous people of your city to a meeting and let me tell them about the needs of the mountains?" Frost Jisked. "Oh, no," replied the pastor. "I couldn't think of that?" "Will you let me preach in your pulpit Sunday morning?" "No. We have a positive rule that ' the Sunday morning service is never 1 to be devoted to any charitable appeal." "Well, I don't suppose you get many people out in the evening," Frost persisted. "Will you let me speak Sunday evening?" Again the preacher refused. "Mow about the Wednesday eve- i ning prayer meeting?" "No." "Well, then, will you pray for the mountain people and the success of the college?" Frost demanded. The preacher said he thought it , would be hypocritical foT him to ask ( the Almighty to help a cause to which j, he could give no aid himself. J "My brother, since vou can do I, nothing to help us, will you join me , n prayer for your church and your ministry?" j The pastor could not refuse, Down j on their knees they went together, and Frost proceeded to send up to , the Pearly Gates r.ot only a prayer . for the church but a most eloquent j and moving presentation of the needs of the Kentucky mountaineers and , the little college that was struggling j to help them. When the prayer was finished the 1 preacher's eyes were full. "You must come to r,iy church Sunday morning," j he said. "My people must hear you." t Frost went, and so bgean the great (, friendship of many people in Ciu- , cinnati for Berea College. I I # "!f you don't say it with teal* you may say it with flowers."

The city, state, and much of the nation was shocked; there was almost universal mourning. The old, old story, "heart disease." He hadn't learned how to take care of his most precious possession?his life. Why did he have "heart hisease?" There is a cause for every effect. My answer is, overfeeding at improper hours. Protein food is not to be trifled with. The six o'clock dinner is never perfectly digested in the full-grown human being. Eating heavily at this hour is deadly, if persisted in by the aging man. Note the "sleepy spell," coming on at unseemly hours?the forerunner of apoplexy. The six o'clock dinner is almost universally overweight ?has "adipose" stowed away about him to last a year?ballast! Killing more people than alcohol! The wonder is, when will men learn better, and stop this American blight of "heart disease?" Still, 'gluttony and ignorance* wouldn't do at all, I suppose . . . but that heart was not to blame. Sunday School Lesson REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D. nlcrnktionkl Sunday School Lesson for December 20th THE SUPREME GIFT OF LOVE K John iv, 7-19 fS I For this Christinas lesson the Supremo Gift is analyzed rather than told as an incident. In Luke ii, 8-20, ,-ou will find tlic narrutive that tells >f angels, shepherds, Bethlehem and the Babe. Here is the story, that the world is increasingly eager to hear. Devoutly, we will listen to the anJiems and then do as did the sheprerds?"Go and see that which is :oma to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us." John iii, 16, also sets forth the meaning of this Supreme Gift to mankind. John, the beloved disciple, was ap /(wciuuiii^ tiw? century niarx. it is .holight that he was released from Patinos exile and returned to his leadfjunrtei-s church in Ephesus. When he was too inform to preach ic would he carried to the church md would say to the congregation nerely, "Little children, love one anither." For an exposition of this .heme read the three epistles of John; ogether they cover only seven chapera. Because "God is love" He expresses His divine nature in His spe:ial gifts to mankind.

In the nature 2 and work of Jesus Christ we have a concrete and understandable expression of the love of the Father. Because of what was taking place in the 1 incarnation, well did the angels sing I ' "Glory to God in the highest." The * exhortation of John is that w'c ought 1 j to manifest the spirit of love to ctli1 ers, and there are boundless opportunities. Our Christmas gifts should ? be love-tokens for the suke of Jesus ; Christ, and we will, of course, give to some from whom we will receive nothing."

It's astonish- a ig the number cf harsh things we i ly without actually meaning to make thers uncomfortable. j Most cf us are too critical in our a Ktitude toward others. Wo criticize ihevs for doing certain Lhings, when all the time, were we in their place, e would do exactly the same or even orse. You can never tell what you ould do. Try to take a generous view of othr people's actions; even if you can't ring yourself to think kindly, at ?ast control vour ton true. It is near y all a matter of habit. You get in he way of making spiteful remarks rithout realizing how much harm it loes you. Just try the scheme of refraining rom unkind criticism. Try it for a reek anyway.
