THE BURDEN BEARER:—
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and
he shall sustain hee: he shall never
suffer the righteous to be moved.—
Psa. 55 :22.
CAN’T SUPPORT HIS CONTEN
TION.
It seems, after all that the Church
Temperance Society of the Protest
ant Episcopal Chtm-h didn't come out
: in favor of light wines and beers. One
of its members, and apparently its
spokesman, told the world several
days ago that the body wanted a mod
ification of the Volstead Act and his
announcement started such a furor i
that he has had to come out with an
other statement to the effect that he
was acting on an assumption when
he made that statement.
The Rt. Rev. William T. Man
. ning. Bishop of New York, told a
•congregation Sunday that he disa
" greed emphatically with the first re
- port. “Undue importance.” the Bish
op said, “has been attached to the
statement of the society because it
has no official authorization and no
right whatever to speak in the. name
of the Episcopal Church.” Os course,
the later statement by the member
of the society just kills the whole
propaganda.
However, in view of the fact that
the wets have seized the mistaken
statement as a means of continuing
their fight against prohibition, it is
well to look further at the statements
■ made by Bishop Manning. “The
mind of the Church was expressed at
the General Convention of the House
of Bishops in New Orleans last Oc
tober, when a resolution was adopt
ed unanimously applauding the re
newed efforts of the government to
- enforce the prohibition laws strictly
,f and impartially.”
The Episcopal Church is being crit
' irised for the statement purporting
to come from the society. Many peo
ple do not understand that the socie
ty is a voluntary organization and
that its findings necessarily would
BE pet influenced by the Church tneni
- berelip, 1
The Episcopal Church along with
nil of the other Churches, worked
£ for the enactment of the prohibit ion
measures and the public fonnd it
bard to understand how one of its ,
its, societies could come out in opposition
ji#. to the law. The statement from the
ip society member and utterance* by
- Bishop Manning and other leaders in
the Church have set the public right.
M THE PRESIDENT TO LET IT
ALONE.
OK President Coolidge doesn't want to
L# take any hand in the coal strike. The
Semite, after twi<-e refusing to do so,
v.i finally passed a resolution asking the
Hr' Chief Executive to call a conference
st at the strikers and operators with the
if end in view' of settling the controver
m Vfift Wldtje House “Unokesuian” wins
IS. qtflf*: tp ’idqfnMfe,'/eteu«ft>t he fare of
E; the Bemite resolution and despite the
fact that the resolution was finally
1, puwted because the Senators saw how
H' public opinion had changed in the
Pj pliidll Last week the vote to defeat
the. resolution was almost two to one;
lon the second attempt the opponent*
won by three Votes and the resolution
I was finally passed by aa overwhelm
j ing majority.
Washingtbn newspaper stories say
I the change in the Senators was forc
ed by public opinion. The public
wants the strike settled and the Sen
ators saw they must change their
views or be contrary to the wishes of
the constituents.
Here in the South the effects of the
strike have not - been marked, for
soft co*l is used almost exclusively
and about the only effect has been an
increase in the price of soft coal, due
to the fact that more soft coal is be
ing used in the larger cities which
usually have a ban on it. The price
of coal here, however, is 'no higher
than-it was last winter, so the pub
lic in this section of the country does
not feel keenly the strike’s effects. In
the larger cities of and north
conditions are not so favorable. Peo
ple are actually suffering for coal
in New York and the supply is so
limited tfibre that one hospital was
without coal for almost a day.
Thousands of people are out of em
ployment in the coal fields and they
are beginning to feel the pinch of
want. They are demanding a settle
ment. The consumers in the larger
cities also are demanding coal. They
are just as anxious as the miners to
see a resumption of work in the hard
fields.
President Oooihlge doesn't want to
tackle the job. He feels that it does
not come within the scope of his du
ties. And further, he is afraid of
making some one mad. If he leans
with the operators he threatens to
make enemies of the miners, with their
thousands of votes. If he leans to
to the miners the operators with their
millions will be dlsplaased.
However, public opinion is the most
potent factor in the world. The
President may be, forced to do some
thing just as the Senators were forc-
to change their views.
REYNOLDS THINKS HE CAN
SURELY BEAT OVERMAN
But One Complication Might Arise
and Not Sure He Could Beat Cam
eron Morrison.
Tom Bost in Greensboro News.
Raleigh, Feb. B.—('apt. Bob Rey
nolds. Asheville lawyer, movie hero,
world traveler and picturesque poli
tician. is in Raleigh on business, but
didn't miss' 1 telling the world that he
is running for tile United States Sen
ate.
“And I am going to beat Senator
Overman.” Capt. Bob told the Daily-
News bureau today. ‘‘l am going to
beat him as surely as he stays in the
race. I am going in all parts of the
state and talking to the farmers.
They are for me and are going to
elect me.”
Just one complication may arise.
Captain Bob is not afraid of Senator
Overman, but he is afraid that the
race will get so hot that Cameron
Morrison, of Charlotte, may be in
duced to enter it. ”1 have no idea
that Mr. Morrison will enter the race
for governor: never have had any.”
Captain Bob says. ‘‘Max Gardner has
been nominated governor ever since
the morning after the second primary
in 1929. Governor Morrison would
stand no chance of beating him be
cause Governor Morrison and every
body else lit 1 1 pel to make Gardner the ]
nominee five years ago. I don't
know what would have happened if
everybody hadn't made up his mind 1
give years ago to nominate Gardner: t
but nobody could get into t'ae race
now and nobody will try. There i
never has been anything in the gos- i
sip that Governor Morrison would I
like to run for governor. He doesn’t .-
wish to be governor; bnt I am not i
so sure about the Senate.” <
Os course Captain Bob recalls Gov- >
ernor Morrison’s expressed purpose
not to run against Senator Overman; ;
but the Asheville lawyer recalls also I
the promise of Mr. Morrison to sail i
into the opposition to Senator Over- <
man if the fight on him gets so fierce
as to give trouble to the Salisbury |
man. Captain Bob promises to make |
it just that hot. Indeed, he says, St \
is already very warm and Mr. Over- |
man will find it much hotter within
the next ninety days. Captain Bob i
has an organization in most of the ,
counties, and when he can't get the i
workers he goes in person to the place I
where he is needed.
Washington ftdks say the Salisbury ;
senator is serenely indifferent to any i
race against him and that he will 1
stay in the capital. Captain Bob
joins him in the wish that he will 1
have a good time up there. If he <
will remain in Washington, Captain I
Bob will do the rest 1

Age of Mental Maturity. t
During the war it was possible to i
compare the relative intelligence of
men of different age- by means of 1
the army psychological seats. The
tests indicated thut intelligence 1
does not increase in adult age. Men 1
30 years old did not do much better 1
in the tests than men 21 years old.
Experiments to determine the .point '
at which adult intelligence is reached l
placed the age level of so-called adult '
intelligence in the vicinity of 14 or 1
15 years. 1
Such are the conclusions drawn *
from the army tests by Dr. L. L. I
Thurstone of Chicago university. 1
“By a new method of measuimment,” '
lie ways, ’•* study has been dtadc of l
3,00 London children, three to 14 1
years old, and a study of 10,000
American children from eight to 19 1
years. Results show that brightness
increases as fur asthe study has been
carried, that is, up to 20 years.
Bright children undoubtedly continue
to grow in intelligence bqfond the

The Democratic Primary Election
. • ■>. -■. ,
Raleigh, Feb. 10.—(AH—Slightly
less than four months hence. North
! Carolina will be in the throes of a
! statewide primary election. The law
sets the first Saturday in June as the
date on which all parties shall choose
their nominees for state and county
offices, and the primary this year will
fall on June sth. x.
Included in the large number of
■ officials to be elected this year—ean
■ didates to be named in the primary in
June, and the actual election to oe
eur in November —are four members:
I of the North Carolina Supreme Court!
and one United States senator.
In addition. North Carolina will
this year elect ten members Os Oon
-1 gress eleven superior court judges.
■ twenty solicitors, one member of the
North Carolina Corporation Commis
sion. 33 state senators, 120 represen
tatives. and approximately 1,00 coun
ty officials.
Senator Lee S. Overman, of Salis
bury. must stand for re-nomination in j
the Democratic primary in June, and
for re-election in November, his six-j
year term expiring this year.
The four supreme court justices
whose term expires this year are:
Chief Justice W. P. Stacy, Associate
Justice Clarkson, W J. Adams,
anti W. ,T. Brogden. These four
must stand for nomination in the
Democratic primary, and then for|
election. \ i
All of them except Judge Brogden
come up for election or a full term |
of eight years. In Judge Brogden's ,
ease, if he cares to remain on the |
bench, must stand for nomination
and election to All the unexpired
term of former Jfudge L. R. Varser,
resigned, who was appointed by Gov
ernor McLean to fill the unexpired
term of Judge Stacy, when the latter
was appointed from the bench as chief
justice. Judge Brogden. if re-elected,
will sit oh the bench until 1928, when
he would come up for re-election for
a full eight-year term.
Chief Justice Stacy is now serv
ing the unexpired term of the late
Judge Hoke, having been appointed
at the resignation of the latter, who.
in turn, -was filling out the unexpired
term of Chief Justice Walter Clark.
Judge Clarkson is now filling out the
unexpired term of the late Judge
Platt D. Walker, And Judge Adams
is completing the unexpired term of
Judge Allen, who was filling out
Judge term, who in turn,
was named to fill out the unexpired
term of Judge H. G. Connor.
And Judge G. W. Connor, whose
term expires in 1928. is now filling
out the unexpired term of Judge Hoke,
when the Inter's place as associate
justice was made vacant by his ap
pointment as chief justice.
None of the five present members on
the court, therefore, has ever been
1 elected for a full term as associate
justice, but is now serving as chief
justice under an appointment.
The incumbents of the ten seats in
Congress from North Carolina are all
Democrats. They must all stand for
re-nomination and re-election for the
■ two-year term iu Congress, if they
■ hold their seats. They are. listed In

Union Republican.
What is the matter with the men
who are elected governor of North
Carolina that death soon retpoves
them from the scene of action after
serving their terms? It is certainly
not the strenuous work they do for
their hours are short and they are
so hedged about with commissions
and helper- that much of the routine
of the office is taken from their
shoulders.
Governor Craig during his four
year term of office was the very pic
ture of health yet soon after ho re
tired his- health gave way and death
soon claimed him.
Governor Bickett retired from of
fice with the rosy glow of health on
his cheeks but almost without warn
ing ill a very short while after he re
tired he was taken.
Governor Kitchen lived some ten
or twelve years after he vacated the
office -but within two or three years
after retiring his health became
broken.
Governor Glenn lived some ten
years after retiring from office but
he too died suddenly—in tjjc night
Sir from friends and kindred.
At the present time North f’aro
llan has ouly one living ex-governor.
Cameron Morrison. The Mecklen
burger seems to be in robust health
at the present, ready at all times to
fight back at his enemies but his I
days like these of his predecessor
may be numbered.
Jnat why North Carolina gover
nors are taken so early after leav
ing office is not. understandable.
Take Virginia to the north of us she
has a whole dis k of former governors
living
Monday Harry Flood Byrd who w
only 3X yearn old was inaugurated
governor of the Old Dominion and.
we call to mind at least half a dozen
farmer governors of that State
living. Senator/ Swason and Repre
sentative Montague both of whom
have been in congress for years are
former chief executives of that State.
Then there is Trinkle, who has juat
retired. Mann, Davie and Stuart and
there are doubtless others.
South CamUiM. our sister State
on the South, also has a number of
Hying ex-governors. The firey Itlease
now in the United States senate
served three or four terms anti there
is Manning, Ansel, and pertiaps others
that we do not recall.
North Comma has but one “Ex”
but he is our chief exhibit and makes
enough noise for half a dozen “Exes”

Apaahe brother-in-taw. Michaels

ever really loved Dolores. '

“No, Colette, I do not love her
now—and, I repeat that I neVer

In her eyes and talked on hastily,
earnestly: "I feel sorry for her in .
one way, but I am not going to play t
a double role and profess love
when none exists just to keep Paul
out of her clutches. 1 am not going
to subscribe to that lie. The whole

and finally burst of its own accord'
now. I mdst ta3ce the -consequences,

again and try to make him listen
to reason.” --
“Don’t foYget,” Colette warned, i
“that the more you object, the
more interested he will become in
her. I would just let things take ;
their own course, if I were you.”
"Perhaps you’re right, but it is

folding out to him a fork with an
knpaled olive.
“Thank you,” Michael said, but

g kissed the hand that offered it.
Colette withdrew it In quick con
tusion.
Michael, strangely, was just as
tonfused by his own temerity; an
inoommon emotion for him, in
deed. 8o he talked again, softly:
“Thlncs are going to be very dif

“We? But our lives are very dif

leased. “You are Prince Michael

What a fairy tale the day had been
—and what a fitting, dreamlike

"Oh,” she clapped, her hands.
"jußt think, we can motcr hack to

“Stop,, M'sieu!’’ Colette war

"It’s not a 'passing whim, little

fact will soon become apparent to
you but I promise that I will say
nothing more of It, not for a while,
anyway. 1 failed miserably to at
tain happineas in the past, but I’nt
depending on you to make ms
achieve it In the future!”
“Then let us make the flght to
gether, M’sieu," Colette said onru
estly.
“It’s a bargain!" Michael laugh
ed and clSsped her hand. “Wo have
entered into a great adventure, yon
and I. Our friendship for the pres
ent, in accordance with yout
wishes will be purely a platonic
one. But it can’t last that way Co
iette. You may as well realire it
Those kind of friendships lnevlta
bly end In either love or a quarrel!
However, we will start out thai
way—but for how long?"
Colette pursed her lips sac
looked at him quizzically. “Untl
one or the other of the two thing!
you mentioned comes to pasß,” she
said in a low, uneven voice.
“And which of the two do yoi
want to happen?" Michael persist
ed. his eyes twinkling.
"You should not ask that ques
tion," she scolded, "hut to f>«
frank. M’sieu, I have always hated
quarrels!"-
“Then your fate Is sealed!" said
Michael gaily.
The glow of their mutual diseov
cry of impending serenity and hap
piness lasted like a beaedietior
through the rest of their walk, and
through the drive home Michael’:
head whirled with useful plans
He resolved to devote his time anj
wealth to some humanitarian proj

Paul. ■ And Bow—goodbye, little
comrade! Tonight 1 shall drink a
toast to the future of the two Bis
Babes in the Woods.”
Her trim legs seemed to possess
the facileness of wings In bearing
Colette swiftly up the stairs. She
threw open the door of their apart
ment and called:
"Billy—Billy! Where arc you I
my pet? I’ve such a wonderful
story for you!”
No answering little voice 30und
ed In the still apartment TheS
Colette heapd someone coming us
the atklrs; it was the woman sh«
had hired to look after him.
“Where Is Billy?” Colette asked
then clutched her breast.
What were these tears, this loot
-of terror, on the woman’s face?
A horrible suspicion come to Co
lette. “Where Is he?” she scream
ed, “tell me quickly!."
The woman sobbed hysterically
"Gone! Emile has stolen him!"
