JohllSltll Hugh S Johnson is offering much advice to the nation and to the world toda> Apparently entertaining the belief that he knows more than any other living man. he tells the world each day in his half-baked and ultra-sophisticated column about the weaknesses of his own gov ernment. To date, he has offered no construct ive thought, and his criticism has been vile and unfounded Who is Hugh Johnson? Some time back yon der he must have been connected with the < Army; they call him general The Army title has been supplanted arid he is now known as General Nuisance to the government, to Un people and to their democratic form of govern ment Back yonder. Mr. Johnson was in Wash ington during the war. He Was the man who took the bull by the horns and had millions of forms printed in preparation for the draft The action was taken before the draft was orders ed and is typical of Johnson. He is the same man who headed the old NRA His superior knowledge in handling that agency almost wrecked it He had to be kicked out And as a baby robbed of its candy he turned against his own friends and is now offering to run the country through a newspaper column. Today, he is an eternal grouch and a bellvacher of the first water. Of fitting The Recovery Debt According to a recognized financial editor, industrial firms in this country during the first half of 1940 earned an average return on net worth of 114 per cent. The financial genius did not point out m so many words the supplement ary facts, but it is quite evident that the earn ings in that period would pay a recovery tax two times greater than the one now in effect, allow stockholders a liberal dividend, create a sinking fund, maintain a depreciation schedule and provide adequate salaries to the big boys. During the latter part of the Hoover regime, a regime some are apparently anxious to have back, put industry in the red. It was impassible to pay a tax of one dollar then. Consider the profits made possible under the spending pro gram, and it will be found that the entire debt contracted during the past seven and one-half years could bo offset with some to spare. And then people have lived, and revolution was averted. Ktilut fil To i i.hrafi Political Orfian The Congressional Reeord, coming from the very seat of government, is being reduced to a common political organ. While it still serves to record the proceedings of the Congress, its appendix has been converted into an expen sive mouthorgan for common politics. Through our own bright Senator, Robert (Hitler's Boy) Reynolds, its columns have been thrown wide open to German propaganda by ill-bred column ists such as Hugh S, (S for stink) Johnson. oust lecenlly a conservative Senator from Virginia made a Farley edition out of the Rec ord It has been said that each page in the book let costs the taxpayers $1,000. And yet, Mr. Byrd will get up and talk about extravagance ?of government Unable to offer one, just one, single construct ive thought. Bob Reynolds turns to his chums, borrows their ideas and inserts in the Record at the rate of $1,000 per page. A casual glance at its contents gives one the firm belief that the Record is hardly more than a propaganda sheet for Hitler and his fiendish friends. - Right motives give pinions to thought, and strength and freedom to speech and action. ?

Two Very Impor tant Prayers.... Bj KIV JAMBS B. SMITH r. WUlUmatoa Baptist Church. People who pray without ceasing no doubt offer many prayers of praise and petition, but perhaps the following two, if earnestly made, are as practicable and helpful as any in the whole catalogue of requests made to the Father in Heaven: "Forgive us bur sins," and "Help us to forgive those who sin against us." In the model prayer Jesus taught His disciples to pray that their sins might be forgiven He was without sin. He lived a perfect life.ABut His disciples, as often as they asked for the Kingdom of Heaven to come and for daily bread, were to say "For give us our trespasses." This is a most natural prayer for one who does not have an exalted opinion of himself, for one who is not self righteous, for one who has had a vi sion of God and has seen Him high and lifted up, for one who has seen himself in the light of what he ought to be and in the light of the spotless Son of God, Who has not felt his burden roll away by saying, "Ac cording to the multitude of Thy ten der mercies, blot out our transgres sions." Too often Christians are inclined not to forgive those who trespass against them. A modern evangel ist says that a person so seldom for gives another that it is always news when it does happen. Jesus taught also in the model prayer that if we do not forgive men their trespasses against us, our Heavenly Father will not forgive us. "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Heavenly Father forgive you your trespasses." Putting it pos itively, if we DO forgive others He WILL forgive us. A forgiving spirit may work redemption both for the one forgiving and the one forgiven. The Episcopal minister who went in to the prison to the girl who killed hiK son and said: "I forgive you; my heart bleeds for you," could not liave said anything more fitting for a Christian. Christians must forgive an indefinite number of times, and it takes grace to do it.
