This week’s yawn prixe goes to the New York congressman who tried to wake up with the as sertion that Hitler is a “mad-man.”—Boston erening ’Transcript.

Probably Parker pushed Potts, too, then. Folks are like that as a rule.—Memphis Commercial Appeal. is only represei wiiKiga of thousan4f’Off Epondents all over the vho .^nish their coun^ Pipers the news, in- ‘^significant as it may seem, of the people m the rural areas. _i£^ The Journal-Patriot values Iti rural correspondents and would like to have news items from many good rural .com munities which do not have active cor- ! respondents afr the present time. We ^r impartial to communities and, if it *seems that some communities are more often represented in the news than oth ers it 18 because there & ; some person who is sending in the news. If your com munity is not represented come, in and let us talk the matter over. Here’s how Will Rogers summed up the home town newspaper: “Take aw^ my ham, take away my eggs, even chili,” said Will, “but leave me my newspaper. Even if it has such purely local news as ‘Jim Jories came home unexpectedly last night, and bloodshed ensued’ or ‘Jesse Busyhead, our local M. D., is having one of the best years of his career, practically speaking—^but they just won’t pay him when they get well,’ ‘the county seat was packed yesterday with most prom inent people from out of town, attempt ing to renew their notes’ and ‘election ain’t far off and everybody is up for of fice that can sign an application blank.’ “Now all that don’t seem such news to you. But it is news to you, especially when you know the people and they are your own folks. So no matter how punk you may think your local newspaper is getting, why just take it away from you and see how you feel. The old newspa per, I think, is just about our biggest blessing. “So let’s all read and be merry, for tomorrow the paper may not have enough ads to come out.” On Labor Day the police work, picking np the victims of anto smashes, and the newspa per men work, rpeorting the highway casual ties. Nearly everyone else seems to. he out on the road making the news.—Pittsburgh Post- Gazette. Why So Much Delay? In glancing through Journal-Patriot files of 1933 we chanced to notice a story about contract being let on the first section of the Millers Creek-Jefferson road. That story appeared in Septem ber a year ago this week. At that time we had hopes that the *^oad would be finished in a year. The year has passed. Contractor on the first section has long since completed his work and left for other fields of labor. The newly constructed section of the highway ends abruptly in the moun tains. No contract has been let for the Remainder of the road. Just why there has been so much de lay in constructing the remainder of this highway, perhaps the most badly need ed in western North Carolina, we do not know, but we do know that citizens of ■^J^ilkes and Ashe counties should let no grass grow under their feet in demand ing that the road be finished as early as possible. Long before the contract for the first section was let we were given to under stand that funds for the remainder of "' the road had been allocated. Possibly we were misinformed but if this was true, a great injustice has been done to Wilkes and Ashe counties in depriving their people of such an important thor oughfare. Country Correspondence Recently a magazine conducted a con- to select the best coun^ correspon- ' dent to small town newspapers and a f > in a Misso-ari village of 27 was winner. ^ ^ This contest attracted the interest of editors of the largest newipapers in the .world. They «ave her a trip to New %xk city, where she met those Who eUad highest in the fourth estate. ’'She does not wfite headline stories for metropolitan dailies; she does not scandal about ex-wives and show prl divorces. Her writings deal with the ups and downs of her own com- i^munity and the people she known from girlhood. She gets eirth^ iB her news notes of 0 '-‘down crops, from otMttrity of a p^tical ia American hietorjr. : Around the grave and extending over the terraced acres of tiie state 'house park were thousands who ' eame^ to pay tribute to the Louisiana iHetato^ and United stated ■ senator who* died at •’•''the hands of an assassin. Rich and poor,:: natioBal figures leaders of the organisation welded into an. amasing political machine stood in revstent the handsome bronze casket containing the body was lowered into the grave. Many taar-stidned faces' were seen in the great throng. Bafore the casket was closed to public view state officials esti mated 100,000 vpersons saw the body as it lay in state in the ro tunda of the towering |S1)00,000 state house Lpng built. They said between 100,000 and 200,000 were in the vicinity of the capitol dur ing the funeral service. The body was borne to the freshly turned mound in a sunken garden on the state house park by leaders of Long’s organisarion and the brief service was conducted by the Rev. Gerald K. Smith, or ganizer of the senator’s share- the wealth clubs and bis close per sonal friend. Rules For Driven* Licenses Announced THE BOOK the first line of which reads, “The Holy Bible,” and which contains four great treasures. By BRUCE BARTON HUXLEY—HE DID NOT KNOW! Altogether the languages and dialects in which the Bible, either in whole or in substan tial part, is in the hands ol the people number about five hundred, with a billion possible readers. How difficult this rendering of the Scrip tures into strange tongues has been may be illustrated by some of the odd printings in our language. We have the “breeches’’ Bible, in which the "^aprons of Adam and Eve are thus translated; the “treacle’’ Bible in which “Is there no balm in Gilead?’’ is translated ‘ ‘is there no treacle (or molasses) in Gilead?’’: the “bug” Bible, with an infelicitous rendering of “creeping things,’’ and the “wicked” Bible, with the important word “not” omitted from the seventh commandment. If, with the finest scholarship and the utmost care, such infelici ties have occurred in our own tongue, imagine the obstacles to a clear understanding of the gospel message in heathen tribes. The man who invented the term “agnostic’’ was Thomas H. Huxley, the scientist. He did not deny, he merely did not profess to know. As in the early Christian centuries there were certain sects that professed knowledge and called themselves “Gnostics,” he, admitting ignorance, called himself an “Agnostic.” He was a member of the London school board, and the question was raised concerning the use of the Bible in the schools. It was generally supposed that he would oppose it. In The Contemporary Review for December, 1871, he said: I have always been strongly in favor of secular education in the sense of education without theology, but 1 must confess I have been no less seriously perplexed to know by what practical measures the re ligious feeling, which is the essential basis of conduct, was to be kept up in the pres ent utterly chaotic state of opinion on these matters without the use of the Bible. Take the Bible as a whole, m«ke the severest deductions which .fair criticism can dictate for shortcomings and positive errors, as a sensible lay teacher 'would do if left to himself, all that is not desirable for children to occupy themselves with, and there still remains in this old literature a vast residuum of moral beauty and gran deur. And then consider the great histori cal fact, that for three centuries this book has been woven into the life of all that is best and noblest in English history; that it has become the national epic of Britain, and is familiar to noble and simple from John o’ Groat’s House to Land’s End, as BhUie and Tasso were once to the Italians; that it is written In the noblest and purest English, and ahduhdi ifi Exquisite beauties of a i^erei# Uiferary form. 1^ Study of 'What other book could t^hildren be so much humanized, and made to feel that each figure in that vast his torical procession fills, like themselves, hut a momentary space in the interval between two eternities, and earns the blessings or the curses of all times, according to its ef- , forts to do good and hatt'evll, even hi they also are earning their payment; their work? Raleigh, Sept. 12.— Revenue Commissioner A. J. Maxwell’s of fices are sending out by thou sands permits for driving automo biles and today the dejmrtment gave out the following (Urections as to the two classifications: Those required to have chauf feurs’ licenses fall in two general casses: 1.
