Sen. Ervin Pays
Tribute To Barkley
WASHINGTON ? The death of
Senator Alben W. Barkley haa
deeply aaddened all of u*. We had
somehow (Town to think of him
as the leavening force In the Sen
ate
barkley
Dr. Frederick Brown Harris la'
the chaplain of the Senate. I at
tended Senator Barkley's funeral
at Foundry Methodist (,'hurch, and
waa so impressed by the eloquent
and accurate tribute that Dr. Har
ris paid my late colleague at the
funeral service that I am going to
quote part of it here. Dr. Harris
said:
"We are vastly poorer because
his eloquent, passionate voice will
be heard no longer in the Nation's
councils, on its platforms, and in
its forums.
"For us there is an altered world,
since but a few hours ago he went
down In full armor with unabated
powers, having lived his strenuous
years up to the hilt.
"We think of one who with un- !
bowed head and unembittered
heart met life's tragic losses, and l
who found constant fun in living. !
and who reveled in laughter; who j
loved folk more than fortune, and i
who was valiant as a knight of old j
in righting wrongs and enthroning
justice: and who counted it as part
of his religion to help see that his
country was wel^ governed.
"He so numbered his days, ap
plying his heart to wisdom, be-:
cause the whole world was the
House of the Lord, as echoed by ,
the last phrase which fell from his
lips.
"We come in gratitude to think
tenderly of one who occupied high
office and yet never stooped to low
designs; one who, was greatly hon
ored by his countrymen, but who
ever put principle above pedestal,
one who was a partisan with deep
convictions without blind spots.''
As one reporter wrote about the
funeral, "An onlooker, unfamiliar
with American politics, would have
found it impossible to tell whether
Senator Barkley was a Republican
or Democrat to judge from those
who moved out into the rain."
All North Carolinians can rejoice
in the fact that this great man's
forebears were North Carolinians.
He and I often spoke about his con
nections in North Carolina.

Fort For Children

ington is considering acquisition
of a fort for a state institution for
retarded children.
Fort Worden, once guarded the

abandoned it as an outmoded in

4'i million dollars less than the
cost of a new one.
