THURSDAY, APRIL 25. 1935 HAPPIER DAYS Roger W. Babsou, the country's foremost economic statistician. brings happy tidings in a recent statement that business conditions are decidedly better. "Whatever the reasons," he says, "business is better this spring than any spring during the past five years. How much of the improvement is due to natural recovery and how much is due to government expenditures is, of course, debatable." Mr. Babson continues with the hunch that the new business caused by government expenditures about offsets the business lost to the undermining of confidence brought about by these expenditures. LOANS AVAILABLE The hanks of the countrv. cm erally speaking, are now in a position to make commercial loans | to their customers, thus reflect-1 ing a greatly loosened condition! of th^SsIr ititrc of finorpo TVi/ico ' accountable, however, for the j funds of depositors, are not contemplating a haphazard course in the loaning of these funds entrusted to their care. Unless a borrower can be fairly certain of being able to meet his obligations, his signature to a note is not apt to be of much avail in securing funds. An advertisement of the Watauga Bank in The Democrat today gives a typical set of rules being used by a large financial institution as a loan policy, and they are in sharp contrast to the policies of a few years ago. which contributed largely to the fall of the banking system as was then known. o PRIMARY THE BEST Local politicians, who still successfully resist the inclusion of Watauga County under the State-wide primary law, and I who believe that the direct-vote method of naming candidates for public office has a monopoly on corruption, perhaps won't notice ??- v*? ?VUV-J.U Ob?uanvt in the convention Tuesday evening 2S people were able to east 39 ballots?just an example of what can hanr>en in the svstom long since thrown into the discard by the State Democracy. Tliis is not to be taken as an expression of dissatisfaction over the results of the convention, which in the final balloting indi-j cated the correct number of vot^s but ts merely cited in substantiation of our contention that the will of the people in the case of all nominations can only be expressed through the primary system, in any substantially accurate form. The knowledge that conventions seldom reflect the will of the majority, precludes any considerable attendance. In election years, oftentimes. precinct meetings are not| held, due to the absence of vot-1 ers. A convention can be "fixed" I but the States' leading machinists have signally failed at least' twice in the last few rears to j control primaries, and the voice I of the masses has prevailed. "... BUT THE LABORERS ARE FEW' Its' berry-picking time in Eastern Carolina and an Associated Press dispatch from Raleigh while calling attention to the crop indicates that la-1 borers necessary for placing the j yield on the market are not ob-1 tainable, and that a delegation; from Duplin County is reported to be on its way to Raleigh to ask the aid of the Governor in securing an adequate number of workers. Meantime Major Fletcher, the Commissioner of Labor, is quoted as saying that trouble is being experienced in getting relief workers to take jobs proffered them in the strawberry belt. Fletcher said W. F. George, assistant director of national reemployment in the State, went to Wilmington over the week-end to take charge of assignment of .1??. J *: C:?i u: u. . 4.^1 | wuiivcis, ctiiu ji<j1111vv.i mill uv ici;ephone that six out of 75 workers taken from Wilmington as ' berry-pickers agreed to get off the truck and go to work Monday morning. "The other sixtynine." said Major Fletcher, "declared they would not do the work and were taken back to (Wilmington." Glowers have (offered to send trucks to various (points to haul workers and have jpromised to feed and house them iand in addition pay them from ! SI .50 to S2 a day, according to ' their ability as pickers. Telejgrams have been dispatched to j all leading towns in Eastern ; Carolina urging officials to get : relief or other workers on the | job the first of the week, for with j berries ripening fast, even slight delays prove financially disastrous. These reports would seem to 'indicate that the dole has j brought about a mighty weakening of the morale of the people (who inhabit Eastern Carolina, and only time will tell whether or not damage to the soical fabric of the nation as a whole has oniiro.-^ fi-otvi tVin n-1-irvlnc^lc r>nl Irtnuxtu iiwm 111U W11U1COU1C ICI1CI expenditures of the Fcdeiml government. At any rate, if the tale ias told is true, there should be I some means of using force in getting some good hard work out of those whose spines have grown weak during their long stay about the hospitable fireside of Uncle Sam. Many see the ruination of the Federal treasury through emergency outlays. But disastrous as that would be. if real harm has come it has been principally to those who may have lost their initiative and capacity for independent action. VAI.I.F.

WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EV1 THE BOOK j .... the first line of which reads j "The Holy Bible," and which contains Four Great Treasures . . , . By BRUCE BARTON PAUL'S SPIRIT MARCHES ON What sort of a man was Paul whc endured so much and triumphed sc abundantly? He was nervous, aggres 1 sive, self-assertive, proud?a little man apparently, with weak eyes 01 some other physical infirmity. Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh 1 preached the gospel unto you at the first. And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not. nor rejected, but received mc as an ani gei of God. even S3 Jesus Christ. ... if it had been possible ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and given them to me. I Less eloquent than Apollos, he ad mils frankly that his bodily presenci was unimpressive and testifies t< some lliorn in the flesh" that wa: a constant source of suffering ant humiliation. He delighted in words ol power, which recur in his letter* again and again. Like Oliver Wendel Holmes, also a small man, he admirec athletics, and his writings abounc j with references to games and con tests, to fighting the good fight, ant j to winning the prize j What would tlit* message of Jesus I have become without Pauls' missionj ary journeys and organizing ability ? | We can only guess the answer, bul this much we know? that after abou! 150 A. D. Christianity nearly ccasec to convert Jews and has made no notable progress ir. that direction since The church in Jerusalem began tc dwindle ar.d finally faded out. But the churches which Paul planted, and the enormous momentum which his tireloss energy provoked, carried forward until even the Imperial City itsell was compelled to bow its proud head Those who affairm that Paul created Christianity do him poor service jim uc Know now indignantly he won mi have denied it. Was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of j Paul? i I thank God that I baptized none I of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Lets any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. Paul did not create Christianity but he was the one may whose vision extended it far beyond the borders of its original home and whe interpreted it in words of world conquest. Hr would not be satisfied un til he hari seen Rome, and after thai he would take the journey which ht was forever talking about, "my jour ney into Spain." He never did mak< that journey.
