We believe they anjoyed the occasion also. North Wilkesboro is an ideal place for sudi meetings and we should have more them.

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.

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.’ 1- “That ?arty was right.

Thw is ^a baseball editorial, bS; it has a moral. Thus we in-^^ '.iVite your atteniion. rss “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.” BoUt HoUdar Games Add To Strbig Vietodes For ; Home Chair Outfit ‘That Hbnl« Chair CotBpSir# team la naturally hard to beat when it cornea to playing bate- ball.

By BRUCE BARTON con- the 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.
