Senator /'f/i/icr S/teak*
Senator Claude Pepper, of Florida, speaking
before a meeting of Fourth District Democrats
recently ? offered sorm pertinent comment on
the need for drafting President Roosevelt for a
third term.
The Florida law makers appeal for Roosevelt
as "the best' frit rid business, even big business,
evei had lute > in complete harmony with the
current .Nort! C?. nlina for Roosevelt" drive
which it; rnjpsors at e confident will result ing

Senate! l'i ppcr told a wddiy-cheering au

office" but must lx drafted as the people's
candidal! 1 lei i .iris of tin Now Deal are to be

"There aren't any mort iionors America
to heap upon him." said Senator Pepper, "no
more hi.nw-.gc could they give him if he lived
forever as President, than they have given him
:n the dark hours of trial.
' Hiit Roosevelt is the people's candidate tor
f .ll iri'">r" ya's in the White House until we
can see through the clouds."
TT ~ ? V . .1 i1 inn i i utiM a n I in " n 11 us that"

is to do I', thine 11>t.i? 111 h i and declared that
Roosevelt "has been tin* best triend business,
even big business ev< i had. because we know
that the only way big business can live is for
little business to thrive, and Roosevelt was the
first President in twenty years upon whose-re
tina little business has been able to icgister an '
image."
The Senator disclaimed any intention to be
disrespectful of old leaders but added "we are
not blind and v. know tin y did not do anything
about these things."
"But we do know, thank Go<^ Franklin D.
Roosevelt. We do know that he sees these things
as we see, and that he has been doing something
about them, even against the doleful prophets
who speak for the dead. Franklin D. Roosevelt
has saved our inheritance for us. He did not let
our estate, handed down to us by the blood of
our forbears, the kind of forbears who shed their
blood at Kings Mountain, the kind of forbears
who gave us the Declaration of Mecklenburg,
collapse and fall to pieces. He has lightened our
debt He has conserved our resources w hen they
were being squandered by an irresponsible trus
tee-. He has made us healthier. He has thrown
a k4 of rotten apples out of the barrel of our na
tional life, and gently enough, he has kicked the
pants of a lot of fellows who were snooping
around trying to steal most of the good apples
left in the barrel."
He marshalled a host of Republican witnesses,
past and present, to rebut arguments against a
third term.
"They forget that they were not afraid of a
third term for Coolidge," he said, citing the later
Senator Simeon Fess; the late Congressman
Snell, Republican leader of the House, "that ra
ther conservative figure, Herbert Hoover"; the
rather honorable and respectable Chief Justice
of the United States," Charles E. Hughes; "that
rather substantial business man," Henry Ford;
and others who wanted a third term for Cool
idge
He declared Americans will not give up Pres
ident Roosevelt until the aims of the New Deal
are secure. He lauded Governor Clyde Hoey for
favoring the President's renomination, and ex
pressed his great pleasure at being invited to
speak in "the oldest liberal state in the South."
.4 Hit Ton filed Up
There are so many candidates in the field for
governor and the demand for slogans so great
that the phrases are said to be a bit confusing.
Melville Broughton comes along with the slo
gan. "A sound man with a sound program." And
all the while Tom Cooper has been advertised
as the man with the ballyhoo and sound truck.
On a baseball fence in the Coastal Plain Base
ball League there is a sign advertising Cooper's
Beer. Could it be that Wilmington's Mayor Tom
-liiiii executed u eowlruet with the beer folks to
advertise their product, the general opinion be
ing that he won't get to be governor.
Lee Gravely steals the march on the others
by not being a lawyer. Gravely proclaims the
fact that he is a "busihess man."
II ho Is lie Representing?
It would be interesting to know who Con
gressman Barden is really representing in his
fll'llt for passage "f 1.. llw.
hour law. Is he representing the down-trodden
workers who sweated in a Carteret County
shirt factory, or the few operators? Reports in
dicate that the representative is not representing
both groups, that he has pitted his strength on
the side of those who see no wrong in dictating
the policies and lives of workers.
Do the truth you know and you shall learn
the truth you need to know.?George MacDon

The Use of
Profanity..,
By K?V. S. J. STARVES
Pastor Methodist Church
Profane swearing is one of the
lost insidious, disgusting, and un
ustifiable of all sins. It is indulged
n sometimes thoughtlessly. "Evil is
rrought by want of thought, as well
s heart.' The ten commandments
/ere given as a rule and guide in
ife, and they apply to us today God
ml not ticriij{t' t<' say "thou shalt"
r "thou shalt not", but many of us
0 not want t<> conform to God's laws,
"his commandment is perhaps brok
n more often than any other. One
/ho reveres the name of God is made
ad to hear men. women and even
it tie children use profanity. One can
ardly go into a public place or on
he street without having to hear
>oople blaspheme the Holy Name of
Jod Of course, one cannot rightful
y claim to be a gentleman of a lady
/ho indulges in such practice, for
entlemen. in the true sense of the
/ord do not use profanity. Mr. Web
lcr's definition of a gentleman is "A
nan of gentle or refined manners:
WBll-bred man of fine feelings." I
lo not know just where to place a
nan who uses profanity, or if I do
:now, my religious convictions and
ny sense of decency make it impos
ibte for rnc to express it.
I can excuse a person for almost
,ny other sin under certain circum
tances, but there can be no excuse
or one's taking .the name of God in
am. A man may steal because he is
lungry; or he may commit murder
>ecause he is mad; or he may live
in impure life because he is a victim
f lust, but I have never been able to
ee any possible excuse for "curs
ng". And yet there are people who
hink it is smart, and who talk of
1 flippantly. People who use profan
ty demonstrate their ignorance in
wo ways: first. impoverished
hought, and second, an impoverish
d vocabulary. When they run out
f words and can think of nothing
Ise to*say, they try to give empha
is by using profanity Much would
>e gained if people would think of
/hat they are doing 111 profane
wearing where the name of God is
nvolved. Not only is it blaspheming
he name of God, but it is distaste
ut tu icspmfui puupltv ft la fibV
cntlemanly conduct. It brings no
pod to anyone, but condemns that
?erson who indulges in it. ' For the
/)rd will not hold him guiltless that
aketh his name in vain." * ?
" Dear people, whatever else we may
lo or not do. let us refrain from this
wful sin, ainl teayh our children .to
evere the name of the Heavenly
'ather, hy emphasizing the third
ommandment. "Thou shalt not take
he name of the Lord thy God in
ain." By so doing we shall live pur
