Washington, Dec. 18.—^Luck
having a lot to do -with political
fortunes, the situation in which
Senator Borah finds himself just
now through circumstances over
which he could have had no con
trol, i"! worth noting. Two of his
long-cherished pet issues are
much to the fore or soon will be.
Assuming, as many political
writers do, that the Idaho sena
tor is far more interested in
framing the issues of the coming
campaign than in achieving a
presidential nomination himself,
this would seem to be a break for
him.
Certainly he could not have
definitely anticipated any such
development in the Italo-Ethio-
piun situatioin as the Franco-
British peace gesture to drama'
tize in such striking fashion Bor
ah’s die-hard opposition not on
ly to American entry into the
League of Nations; but to any
intimate co-operation with Euro
pean political arrangements. A-
gainst the background ot Presi
dent Roosevelt’s plans for a new
neutrality act and his original re
quest for discretionary powers,
that might become an important
matter of the campaigr. Appar
ently Senator Vandenberg thinks
so. He broke an unusual spell of
silence to issue a statement ap
proving Roosevelt neutrality acts,
but disapproving any extension of
presidential powers.
The other Borah issue clearly
destined to have an increasing
tempo in debate is bis anti
monopoly stand. 'The overthrow
of NRA codes which were based
on the Roosevelt government-and- ■ , . . , , „
business partnership idea, follow-(
ed now by an open rebellion in
business circles against Roose
velt policies generally, is expect
ed to bring that monopoly issue
out sharply soon or late. Borah
himself had a monopoly on it for
quite a while.
The X rint is this: If the “new
deal’’ business-and - government
partnership is definitely dissolv
ed, what attitude of government
toward business would logically
succeed it? A return to the role
of anti-monopoly policeman for
Uncle Sam would seem In order.
That might Imply not only resto
ration of anti-trust laws softened
by the riicovery act, but putting
new teeth in them and a rigid
enforcement program. And that,
be it noted, would be right down
the legislative alley Senator Bor
ah had all to himself for a time.
The snn, apparently the'larg
est and brightest of all stars, ao-
taally it one of the amaBeat of
^ tfaM,
Ann. But Sarah Ann does not
think so. She now can lay the
wreath of victory on Oliver’s
grave with the proud exultation
that no deceit or hypocrisy ever
entered their bower. All the hard
ships she has indured stand be
fore her today in a blaze of glory.
The children can pass around
and lay some flowers on their
father’s grave, which grave
crowns the eternal hills, a plain
white shaft, deep cut into Its
shining side Is a name dear to
them which they do honor as
nothing else on earth. The ierlt-
age he left them they would not
exchange for all the wealth
which can be mentioned. We all
remember Presley, the preacher,
and he was a preacher too, no
greater preacher ever graced oar
pulpits. Let us believe that Pes-
ley and Eugene met Oliver with
mnlUtadesi^t no man can num-
her. ■
■J..r-

Oliver F. Blevins
Oliver Is gone but his works do
follow him. He was born a re
former, a restorer of truth. Of-
times I have heard him say that
he would do nothing for which
he had not the whole world for
his reason. 1 can not explain his
life better than to quote his
neighbor and friend, the late Jim
Wllboni, who said in part, that
Oliver Blevins came in to the
courthouse as register of deeds a
poor cripple, at which time his
majority for the Republican par
ty in Wilkes county was only a
few hundr^.' Oliver Blevins car
ried such an atmosphere of love,
friendship and goodwill into the
courthouse that within a few
years the majority of his party
numbered several thousand, He
goes into the court house as
register of deeds as noiseless as
an angel’s wing, and by his kind
ness, by his hospitality and last
ing friendship made the big ma
jority of Republicans of Wilkes
county. He was an advocate of
everything that was right and
opposed to everything that was
not right. Oftlmes I have heard
him say that the money we are
spending for courts and prisons
is very ill layed out, that we
make by distrust the thief and
the burglar and by the harsh
treatment by courts and jails wo
keep iiim so. His idea was to
work institutions by the sun and
not by the wind, that every child
that is born must have a chance
for his broad. You will please al
low me to quote Mr. Wilborn a-
gain as saying that Oliver Blev
ins was a mystery, that every
body loved Oliver and he loved
everybody, that of all the offici
als that e^nr come in to the
courthouse Blevins exceeded them
all. Not in money, silver or gold,
but a fine brain well developed
and a fine education for every
child. No greater honor can be
conferred. Oliver and Sarah Ann
have given to the world such
fine bunch of intelligent children
Some of the neighbors say that
cooking and waiting on so many
EXTENSION WORKERS
STUDY NEW PROGRAM
Agricultural authorities agree
that the complexity of modem
civilization has given rise to
farm problems unlike any that
have been encountered before.
To aid in the solution of these
problems have been called the
philosopher and the sociologist,
as well as the scientifle research
worker and the farmer in the
field.
The broader social and econo
mic aspects of rural life must be
considered In the development of
an adeqquate long-time farm
program, said Dean I. O. Schaub,
director of the State College
agricultural extension service.
With this in view. North Caro
lina's extension workers ,mad«
a special study of the deeper
implication of preeent conditions
while holding their annual con
ference at State College last
week.
In working out a sound,);|WO-
gram, the dean said, theK^khost
encourage farmers to co-dfa^ate
in balancing their farming sched
ules so as to maintain their own
self-sufficiency while producing
the commodities needed by so
ciety..
“Not only must we promote
better cultural practices,’’ he
declared, “but _we must also
study the markets to determine
the beat production schedules.
“We need to give careful con
sideration to the welfare of the
farmer and his family, to the de
velopment of better living stand
ards and a more vital, whole
some community life.
“In tact, there is hardly a
phase of rural life that does not
com^ within the scope of the
long-time agricultural program
now being set in motion by the
extension service.”
