(%r- Gilliam Grissom
There is little in the recent history of
elections in North Carolina to encourage
Gilliam Grissom’s reported candidacy for
governor. Even in the big landslide of
1928 when North Carolina was casting its
Gluirches Dcprowion
In years of pwoperity when.^-figuratively
speaking everybody is.^“sitting^on top of
the world," there is apt to be ,a‘tendency
to forget that there is "a Supreme Being.
This is not evidence that we as a people
are inclined even during those years to
ward atheism. Nothing is further from
the facts. It is simply that we are inclin
ed to forget the spiritual values.
But in every storm man always turns to
God for stren^h and consolation. An edi
torial. in the Union Republican, Winston-
Salem publication, calls attention to the
splendid manner in which the churches
have weathered the depression. It is
worthy of study and we reproduce it in
full: - - - -
‘Churches are beating and have beaten
the depression. Gains in membership as
shown by a story in another part of this
paper and attendance are practical proofs
of it. More convincing still is the testi

look over the sjtuatlon and see
where, In a way of speaking, we
are at.
One point which experienced
political observers are comment
ing on Is that Mr. Roosevelt has
shown himself an astute politi
cian by keeping the tariff Issue
out of the extra session of Con
gress with which hls Administra
tion began. That isn’t because
he doesn't want to do something
about tariffs, but because, as a
student of political history, with
a very smart set of advisers close
to him, be knows that nothing is
more certain to wreck an Admin
istration than a tariff squabble.
And any kind of tariff discussion

Much of the President’s strength

part, patriotic and well-intention

Is due to the knowledge, which
they cannot escape, that the Pres

to oppose the constituents back

His record is certainly one of which the

As collector of revenue, Mr. Grissom
has enjoyed the confidence and been the

Highway No. 16 Again
Mr. Jeflfress, chairman of the state pris
on-highway department, is reported to
have indicated that improvement of High
way No. 16 between Millers Creek and
Glendale Springs was to receive first con
sideration when construction funds be
came available. His promise to Ashe
county citizens, who perhaps have work
ed for this improvement with greater con-
sistancy than our own Wilkes citizens,
seems possible of fulfillment now that sev
eral million dollars of federal funds are
available.

prospects for immediate action and we

“Churches of every creed are obeying
the Scriptural injunction to help the poor

of their own congregations and in a great
many instances assuming large additional
burdens. Thus the churches are leading

task of helping world and nation to meet
the painful adjustments of a disturbed era.
We could not get along withotit the

ter what may happen when the

President will still be sitting in
the seat of power.
President’s Great Power
The delegation of authority by
Congress to the President is un
matched in political history. Mr.
Roosevelt today has the power
to close all banks and open those
he pleases; to embargo gold and
strike the gold clause from past,
present and future contracts; to
I effect controlled Inflation of the
j currency by a variety of meth
ods; to pay a bounty to farmers
in order to increase the price of
what Congress was going to do.
In the ninety-nine days of its
first session the 73rd Congress
made a record for important leg
islation which few Congresses
have equalled in their two full
years of existence. Fourteen
laws which constitute the Ad
ministration program were en
acted, besides one other bill of
major importance which 'did not
come from the White House.
That is Senator Wagner's bill
providing for a national employ
ment system and cooperation
with the states in its operation.
In Ninety-Nine Days
The laws which make up the
President's program are:
1. Emergency banking relief.
2. Maintenance of Govern
ment’s credit (usually called the
economy law.)
3. Permitting and taxing beer.
4. Emergency Agricultural re
lief, farm mortgage relief and
currency issuance and regulation.
Including inflationary powers;
6. Unemployment relief

13. Industrial recovery act,
providing for control of indus

14. The Glass Steagall banking

That is a tremendous list ol
new legislation. Many of these
laws completely change the meth
ods in which business has been
conducted and establish new fun
ctions of immense power for the
Government. As in war time,
new bureaus and administrative
boards are finding it hard to get
office space in which to begin
their new duties.

ahead for Uncle Sara.

Malaria—the teeth-chattering chills and
the burning fever. Get rid of Malaria by
getting the infection out of your system.
That’s what Grove’s Tasteless (Thill Tonic

Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic conti^

in the blood. It also contains iron which
builds up the blood and helps it overcoma

against re-infection. These are the effects
you want for COMPLETE relief. Grovel

We are not sufficiently familiar with
the law to cite actual passages, but the
public is familiar with the general inter
pretation. If the defendant shows that he
was drunk at the time of the killing, it is
presumed (or it works that way) that he
was not capable of premeditation and
hence not chargeable with first degree
murder. Of course, if the state can show
that the defendant had, prior to getting
soaked- planned the slaying, the defend
ant does not find it profitable to plead
drunkenness.

Jesu.s was notably tolerant of almost all kinds
of sinners. He liked the companionship of the
rough and ready folk who were entirely outside the
churches; he was tender toward unfortunate wom
en; he had a .special fondness for James and John
whose ungovernable tempers had given them the
title of “Sons of Thunder”; he forgave the weak
ness of Peter who denied him; and was not resent
ful at the unbelef of his near relatives and his na^
live town.
But for one sin he had no mercy. He denounced
the insincerity of the Pharisees in phrases which
sting like the Icsh of a whip. They thought they
had a first mortgage on the Kingdom of Heaven,
and he told them scornfully that only those who be
come like little children have any chance of enter-
