FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1944 MORE ABOUT USO (Continued from Page One) government." Emphasizing that we must be careful about using such terms as "democracy" without understanding what is really meant by them, the Chaplain continued: "While politi cal democracy is a relatively late development in the history of man kind, the roots of that conception are thousands of years old. They lie in the feeling of the ancient Jewish people that all men, being common partners in a covenant between their nation and God, are equal in the sight of God. When Jesus broke the narrow partisan nature of the Jewish religion, the notion of equal ity was extended on a universal basis; and we have for the first time the idea of the essential unity of the human race, and the inherent dignity of every individual member of the human race. The underlying basis of our political theory of democracy is therefore a moral and religious one," added the Chaplain. "Our democracy will not survive unless we recognize this religious foundation and strengthen it. "Democracy confers a great boon upon mankind. It says to him that man is created in the image of God, that he is entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that liberty under the law is the inherent right of every citizen. But since privilege always carries with it responsibilities, we must take care mat roe privileges wnicn we claim for ourselves must be extended to all peoples. That is the serious and tremendous task which confronts American democracy today. Some definite solution for the world-wide problem of race must be found. Economic democracy must be devel oped, with a man for every job, and a job for every man. Minority groups of every sort, be they racial, political, social, economic, or reli gious, must be protected; and the subject peoples of empire must be given a hand in their own govern ment, just as soon as that becomes possible." Citing the now famous "four free doms" indicated in the Roosevelt Churchill Atlantic Charter, Chaplain Sanders added: "The four free doms must be offered, not only to the nations and peoples of the Atlantic world, but to those of the Pacific world as well. Ultimately all the nations of earth must be bound to gether by the sacred principles of democracy into one great confedera tion, pledged each to the mutual wel fare of the other. "If the task seems too stupendous," concluded Chaplain Sanders, "we must remember that all the other great forward steps in history have seemed so: the forcing of Magna Charta at Runnymede; the Declaring of Independence by a few weeks, iso lated mutually jealous colonies of the British crown; the adoption of a Constitution, at once definitive and at the same time flexible enough to last through the vicissitudes of time. Regardless of the size of the task, we are faced with the dilemma: either we choose to accept the re sponsibilities, or we stand to lose the privileges which democracy confers upon its followers. The choice is for you and me to make."

You fed and rocked us whenever you were near, You played as a child would, upon the floor, But without you, Grandaddy, we cannot play as before. We miss your smile and your sweet caress. Your love, Granddaddy, was always best As we grow up, we will pray like you tor Jesus to take us to Heaven, too. Grandchildren. THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. HERTFORD, M.

Clyde Hoey in both the 1936 primaries. When the result was announced, Dr. McDonald, as the defeated candidate, accepted a ver dict recorded at the polls. He took his licking like a man and rendered full support to the ticket in the general election, making speeches in nearly half the counties. Since that time his party record, his views on public aifairs and his personal life jus tify the support of those who opposed him in 1936. If for no other reasons, I would support Dr. McDonald because of his loyalty to and support of our Party; because nearly half of the members (214414) of the Democratic Party in the State have evi denced their desire that he be Governor of North Carolina, and because he' is a high toned, sober, Christian gentleman.' Hon. Chas. G. Rose, of Fayetteville, farmer Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, former President N. C. Bar Association. "NEED SYMPATHETIC GOVERNMENT" "I have carefully read the speeches and statements of the two candidates for Governor, have observed them in their public carers for the past few years, and have come to the conclusion that I shall vote for Ralph -McDonald for many reasons. As a business njan, I have confidence that his administration will be sound. There will be many readjustments arising from the post-war period. The. principal problems of North Carolina will be problems of how best to meet the needs, the hopes and aspirations of the average people of this State. We will, therefore, need as Governor, a man who is sympathetic and who will be better able to translate the thinking of the people into governmental action. J believe Ralph McDonald to be such a man." Hon. L. Lee Gravely, eminent business man and tobacconist of Rocky Mount "SAEE, SANE AND SOBER" "I like the fine fitness of the man for the offi?. Measured by every standard, he seems to me to be qualified to become a worthy successor of that fine line of noble men who have graced this high office for the past forty-four years. 1 believe that in him the Democratic party can off ex o the people" of the State 'as fine al leader as , they have been accustomed to put forth and one who I believe is safe, sane and sohet, 1 studious and statesmanlike, and one who will not only lead the party but the whola . people of North Carolina Into that great , advancement and progrese which should ' mark our :Statet and its performance ,ln the tremendously important years that lie fan-' mediately ahead. ) ,.j f . t , .
