Will Ihe hear' Benoett retort that |ettfttonah inquisitor is a “ con cern jytaMe. cur” ?

Appearing before the lobby in vestigating' committee, J. E. Pierce, editor of the Huntsville (Ala.) -Daily Times threw the hearing into j disorder during the course of his J testimony on the activities of the Tennessee River Improvement As sociation, which advocated private of the Muscle Shoals power project. The controversy, in the course of which the question ing Senator and Mr. Pierce invited each other to settle the matter of cowardice “outside,” was stopped iby Senator Walsh of Montana after it had, raged for several minutes. The epithets exchanged were con sidered so offensive to decency—to «ay nothing of senatorial docorum t —that they were ordered expunged j from the record. .... Then, there w&s the grilling of i *Mr. RJaskob, Josephus' Daniels, own er and editor of thfc Raleigh (N. G.) Nfcws and Observer and former secretary of the navy, insisted that -the antii-prohibition- —activities of John 1. Ragskob .constituted a peril to the Democratic’ party, in conse quence of which Mr. Raskob should , -resign as chairman of the Demo- J cratic committee. Mr. i Raskob is no r giant. Un- J doubteiily' he' is far "from indispensa- j hie to the Democratic party. The con sensus 'of opinion here, however, is that the Democratic party will give a sorry exhibition of itself if it permits Mr. Raskob to be driven from his position of party chair r .... - . .

THE BANK OF MONCURE , -■ ; • K MONCURE, N. C. manship by the attacks of two anti- Smith Democrats from North Caro lina and Republican from Indiana. The motive for summoning Mr. j Raskob to testify before the lobby committee of the senate was plain and unmistakable. The chairman of the Republican committee, Mr. Claud ius H. Huston, is considered recent y to have been put in an unenvia- | ble position by the exposure of his j temporary use for stockmarket pur- j ■poses of funds derived from the j lobby against Muscle Shoals. It was plainly the hope of certain Repub licans' in Washington that by cross examining Mr. Raskob they could dig up something to offset the charges against Mr. Huston. The political year 1930 began this week. It began on Tuesday in Illinois with a contest unprece dented in America and with few if any analogies in any country—the •effort of a woman, Ruth Hanna McCormick to wrest the senatorial toga from a man, Charles S. Deneen, who has been in the senate for five years and "wants to remain there. ® Simmons Cheered at a Republican Convention — It is rather unusual for a Re publican convention to cheer at the mention of a Democratic office holder and candidate for renomina- Hon in a Democratic primary, but that is what happened up at New land the other day. The eighth dis trict Republicans were holding their district convention and Jake Newell of Charlotte was making the key note speech. He made some rather slighting remarks about . Josiah Wil liam Bailey; that was cheered, as was to be expected in a Republican gathering. Then he said some pow erfully nice things about Senator Simmons; they were cheered, too, which was not to be expected— ordinarily. It has ben charged for a year or more that Republicans were working as hard for Senator Simmons as some of his own cam paign managers; whether this is true or not, the eight district Re publicans did not hesitate to let it be known that they regard Sim mons as their friend.

In the case of men, this Easter offering or tax, is commuted for a payment of one penny. When the beadles have been around the par ish any man is permitted to embrace any girl he meets.

Because it ban shes the chitling fear of death. Bp ; . , ause on it a trumpet sounds through on the universe the tidings of eternal ( existence.

And deep in every trusting heart Eternal peace and joy abide; For love has triumphed o’er the tomb, And gladness crowns the Eastertide. —Wisconsin Agriculturist. Religion Led Man Out cf Spiritual Darkn?sr The greatest moral progress that •the human race has made has been under the influences of the Christian religion, and in that religion the events of Good Friday and Easter are of the highest interest and signifi cance. The supreme martyrdom of a supernatural personality and His an thentication by the miracle of the Resurrection create the Christian re ligion. The teacher who taught as one having authority and not as the scribes became by these events the personification of a religion, and one that has ted mankind in its greatest advances. He established an ethical connection of the greatest power of inspiration between man and his Cre ator. Easter became a glorified Pass over, commemorating emancipation from spiritual darkness and from the lies that bound man to the lower or ders of creation, and conferring the freedom of the soul, the new birth of man’s mind and heart, the beginning of a career which has taken man away from the companionship of the lower orders of life and has put him on the pathway that leads to the an gels.—St. Louts Post-Dispatch, OUTDOOR REJOICING Forest Lawn Memorial Park at Glendale, Calif., where impressive' Easter services are held. Glorious Message That Easter Brings to All Easter comes with the opening earth pouring forth its wealW 'frth, lovely greenery, and buds promising' beauty and fruition later on. It calls to us to cheer up, to lift up heart and head, because from the dead, past, winter, has come life breathing spring. It calls us to remember that now, since Ariinathean Joseph’s garden brought forth the great glorious Flower of our race, just as then and today it brings forth splendid lilies from dry, hard bulbs: Men may rise on stepping stones Os their dead selves to higher things That we can leave our old doings and failings all behind, as a snake leaves its old skin behind, and having all forgiven, go on to brighter, happier days, with this certainly that what ever may be doubtful to us now, of this we are certain, that everything will be better for us on the other side of winter, when the eternal spring lias 1 come! Spring Comes With Easter Easter is a restless festival. ' If you aren’t coming you’re going, and n<> matter which it is, you’re never still very long.. It’s the smell of spring in the air. It doesn’t make much differ ence what the calendar says About the first day of spring, because nohmlx ever believes it’s really here until Easter has arrived. Then the violet* and the crocuses can come out all the\ want to without heijig afraid of in * fringing on the rights of winter..
