^Come Again
To the postmastei*s of North Carolina,
^Kcffth Wflkei^K>ro says “Come again.”
“The Key to the Blue Ridge” is a
.fri^dly town and is pleased to have such
Mendly representatives of the state’s
: citisenship as guests.
_ - yit is trite to say that we enjoyed the
visit of the postmasters. We believe they
anjoyed the occasion also.
North Wilkesboro is an ideal place for
sudi meetings and we should have more
them. As we have said before, we com-
ittend everyone who aided in securing the
' r convention and in making North Wilkes-
boro’s part a success for their imblic-spir-
Ited attitude.
Bureaucracy
The strongest voice that has been heard
r~ in opposition to the Roosevelt adminis
tration is that of Senator Borah ot Idaho.
He attacks the “new deal” on the
grounds that it building up a bureaucracy.
He further declares that what the coun
try needs is a new deal for the poor man.
• There is no good word for the Republi
can party with which Senator Borah has
been nominally affiliated.
Hitting at bureaucracy, the Idaho sena
tor said:
“If the government can take away the rights
to grow cotton and force tne grower to plant ac
cording to some bureau’s judgment, thereby
forcing thousands to the point of starvation, it is
only a question of time until this creeping pa
ralysis ^umbs . • .
“I do not call this Nazi-ism, fascism or com-
mimism. God forbid. It is simply that meddle
some, irritating, confusing, undermining de-
’structive thing called bureaucracy.
‘It is the ■ form of government which steals
away man’s rights . . . and taxes him to death
in the name of recovery.
“Of all the forms of gow. uaent which h-s
ever been permitted to torture t.’.e human fam-
Uy, the most burdensome, most expensive, most
demoralizing and most devastating is bureaucracy.
“It has destroyed every civilization.
nausi perfectly plain that the principal
work of recovery depends up6n 1}’® initiative and
energy of every private citizen.
^ “This arbitrary treatniejit of ynen wlio made
this country will retard recovery indefinitely.
“If permitted to act under just and equal
laws, with adequate monetary and banking sys
tems, protected from the exactions of monopoly,
the people will win this war against the depres-
, j . - r-.-'
won, r
“Destroy their morale and the fight is lost.
“The great contributing causes to the depres
sion were the war, the burden of armaments
after the war, speculation which drained the
pockets of the people, a monetary system which
could be manipulated, a banking system which
permitted money to be withdrawn from produc
tion and development, an unconscionable waste
of public money, a discouraging tax burden, and
lastly was the hold which monopoly secured on
the earnings and savings of the people.
“To me this (the monoplies) is the most vital
problem before the people today. The hold which
monpoly has on the poUtics of this country ’•
vividly disclosed by recent political history
the last campaign the successful party
noonced the party in power for ‘fostering
merger of competitive business as one oJ
^ chief causes of the present disaster.’

charge of the government one of the first things
it did was to suspend the anti-trust laws. Monop

“Shodess Joe” was on his way.^toward
baseball’s hall of immortals when he fell.
That was'in 1919. The World Series was
on between the White Sox of Chicago anfl
the Cincinnati Reds. Jackson and his t®m-
mates composed one of the greatest teams
in baseball history.
But the gamblers—rthe big-time gang—
got a hold on the boys, at least seven of
the White Sox. Jackson was among the
seven. So they sold out and the once-
White Sox became the Black Sox.
The story got out that they had thrown
the series for their “thirty pieces of silv
er” and Jackson and the _ others were
banned forever from organized basebalL
A little urchin, seeing Jackson before
the trial which sent him into obscurity in
disgrace, looked up into Jackson’s eyes
one day and said:
“Tell me it isn’t true.”
But “Shoeless Joe” couldn’t answer him.
It was true. He had sold out.
The scandal has stuck. “Shoeless Joe,”
old and disgraced, sought to return to the
diamond the other day. Not as a big leagu
er, but as one of the boys in a semi-pro
fessional club. But the shame of other
years returned to haunt him. Players on
all tfems were told that their participa
tion in games with “Shoeless Joe,” the boy
who earned that name by playing without
shoes in his early sandlot days, would bar
them forever from organized baseball.
'That was regrettable in a way. Most of
us who know the story would like to see
him pardoned just to clear his name. Age
has made it certain that he will never
cavort about the diamond in any league
with any success. The old legs are no long
er frisky and that marvelous batting eye
has dimmed with the tears of disgrace. So
it seems he has been punished enough.
However, that may be, stem action was
necessary to save baseball.
The moral:
“When the Great Scorer comes
To write against your name,
It matters not if you won or lost.
But how you played the game.”

TWO RULERS TO FORE
Inevitably Jerusalem came under the
quering power of Rome, but the vigor of
Maccabees promised to perpetuate itself in a
new line of kings. Herod, a military leader from
across Jordan, allied himself with Rome and
was niade a kind of feudal king. He married a
Maccabeaean princess, Mariamne, whose beautj(^
and tragic fate gripped the imaginations of the
people and made the name Mary so common in
New Testament times and later. Herod mur
dered her, and she was only one among his
many victims, , .
Rome passed from a nominal republic into
an empire- Caesar Augustus was emperor and
Herod (beneficiary of the brave Maccabees) reigpi-
ed in Palestine when Jesus was bom.
The policy of Rome was tolerant; local cus
toms and even local prejudices were not greatly
interfered with, and the Jews were permitted
to carry on their worship and, to a large extent,
the internal alfairs of the government as they
chose under their own rulers. But Rome vzas
the power that ruled, and naturally the Jews
were not happy. They had become a nation
whose ideals were bound up in a book- If they
no longer had their independence they still did
have the law, the prophets and the writingrs.
They studied these and thought they found
promises that Jerusalem was again to have po
litical power. They looked back to the days of
David and Solomon, idealizing the reigns of
these great kings. They were sure that some day
another king of David’s lineage would sit on
the throne in their sacred city and they even
found in Micah a verse which some imagined to
mean that their king would be bom in Bethle
hem. , , . I
But thou. Beth-lehem Ephratah, though
thon be little among the thousands of
Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth
unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose
goings forth have been from of old, from
everlasting. . , , ,
It is necessary to have this little historic back
ground in order to understand why there were
two rulers simultaneously in the days of Jesus;
Herod the king, whom Jesus characterized as
“that fooc,” and Pilate, the Roman governor: and
why the Jewish crowds, fired by patriotic en
thusiasm, sought to take Jesus. “Son of David,”
by force and make Him their king; and why,
when He refused, they melted away from'-Him
and allowed the shouts of “Hosanna” of P^m
Sunday to be drowned out on Friday by the
shouts of “Crucify.” ?-
As nearly as scholars can figure: it out, Jesns
was bora about 4 B, C. The Christian chrono^gfjr
wte not fixed until the sixth century, and bur
subsequent study of Roman records indicias
that a mistake of abont four years was nu^,^
Assuming the date 4 B. C>, therefore, ■ire ; now
flfya game and went back iiSSe
the .worse except for two defeats
at the hands of ^e local team.
The morning game was easily
won by the locals by the score ot
11 to 5. The afternoon game was
harder, nosing out the visitors to
the tune of one run, 8 to 7.
Gib Pardne hit ’em right and
left in the morning game to lead
in the hitting with four oirt of
five, Including a long homer.
