C., as second class matter under Act of March 4, 1879. MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1939 The Hatch Bill President Roosevelt summed up the Bituation accurately when he said the Hatch Bill was a step ir the right direc tion. The bill was designed to keep govern ment employes from pernicious activities in politics. Of course, some partisanship entered into the passage of the bill with a block of Democrats who were fearful that Presi dent Roosevelt might run for a third term joining with i.he Republicans in putting the bill through. But the main rea.^on for the bill is a healthy movement of reform which has been spreading O'Or the country for the past few years. Let us look at some of the ihlngs which have been happening: In Kansas City, Boss Pendergast s ma chine was kicked out ami he and a tew other ringleaders were sentenced in the courts. In Pennsylvania some of the higher up politicians face indictment for conspiracy and fraud. . . A former mayor of Los Angeles is in dicted for selling civil service jobs. A former mayor of \\ inston-Salom has been sentenced fur traiui. Mayor Frank Hayes, of Waterbury. Conn.', faces charges for a $1,000,000 fraud. , , . Indictmeiits have been handed tiown in New .Mexico and New Jersey for misuse of VVPA funds and some of the higher ups in those states are in hot water. A former mayor of an Indiaiina city has been convicted fer diversion of WPA ma terials for privati use. Many other instances could be cited to show that even the leadeis supposedly with the mightest “pull cannot success fully buck the tidal wave of reform. The American people will not long .stand for corruption in high places. Some saw objections to the Hatch bin because they thought it might possibly in fringe upon individual rights. That is one intepretation but another i.s that the bill protects individual rights instead of in fringing upon them. The law was supposedly written to pro tect those vvho are dependent upon the governmem for their jobs from coercion in primaries and elections and to make it pooible that each one, regardless of how humble, might expro.ss his or her de.sires at the nallo: box without fear Ironi man or group, thus ser of constitutional right eriiment. - ^ ■■ ■ - my Sa^'ior and your Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ! If we would only listen to him.’ “How different is such sentiment from what is usuallj'' heard on such occasions. “The LeTourneau concern will employ 200 people and will manufacture road ma chinery. The owner plans to erect steel homes for employes and to have a most modern community.” . If all the leaders in government, in bus iness, in education, in civic and profession al life had the same perspective it would not be long until many troubles which keep them in hot water would vanish. The usual proceedure for opening of a large industry in a small town would be a lot of pomp and speech making, in which the sponsor would be praised to the skies for what he was doing as an individual for the community and with a long string of adj^ctiv6S orators would tell of prosperity coming to the place because of the efforts and money of the man who established the business. lOMjn/iom -4f- PMNi Mam ■ TOCK»fclPOB 'fwe vHik' nillNffnitnunin, Babj or religion, ft took them a time to learn tolerance, but in the British colonies all over .the world the maxim of Thomas Jefferson that "the best government is the one that governs least" seems to be the rule.

The people of the United States, as a whole, consider the quarrels of European nations with each other as no concern of ours. That is also a positive statement of facts. The people of the United States are bit- terlv re-sentful of Japan’s armed invasion of China, but arc far from being convinced that it is our duty, therefore, to go to war Mohicians, ans. This old New England town is celebrating this month the 200th anniversary of its establishment as the first community in America to give Indians equal rights of citi zenship with the English colonists. The first Board of Selectmen of Stockbridge, elected in 1739, con sisted of two Indian chiefs, Kon- kapot and Umpachene, and one Englishman, Ephraim Williams. By 1779 the failure of the at tempt to impose European civili zation on the Indians was appar ent, even to the Indians. They drifted westward and the last rem nants of their tribe now live in Wisconsin. The English settlers prospered. Ephraim (Williams founded Williams College. The Colonists paid the Indians for liefs and customs. Two races cannot live on the I same soil without constant fric tion and conflict unless each rec ognizes that the other has an equal right to live, act and believe as its racial inheritance impels it. LESSON . . . . . . peace If there is one lesson the world should have learned by this time it is that peace is never achieved by conquest but ofily by tolerance. Some group.s, many individuals, have learned that. To a degree some nations and their rulers have •at least got a glimmer of that truth.

There was one man who recognized the source of blessings. Read what the Greenville Piedmont had to say about the occasion: •‘When a $2,000,000 manufacturing r’air ./• 'ins operations in a town the .size of Toccoa. Ga., it is an event of more than a pa.s.sing intere.st.

The .statement of the driver, Rermelsoii. that the "transmi.s.sion sudden ly gave way” suggests strongly a lack of proper inspection. .Anyhow, there he was spinning down the three-mile grade at a speed than went up to 85 nyiles an hour, around curves, through traffic at the im minent risk of tragedy. At 20 miles the second man on the truck jumped, injured his che.st and leg.

Many Indian.s professed conver sion and were baptized into the church. It now seems uoubtful that they ever giasped or accept ed the rigid Calvanistic doctrines of Puritan New England. It is certain that they were unruly un der the harsh discipline of the Church. John Sergeant, the de voted young minister, died after ten years of disheartening efforts to wean the Mohicans aw'ay from their pagean practices and their fondness for the traders’ rum. Religion, to the Missionaries, meant conformity in outward ap pearances to the standards of the teachers of religion, as much as it meant spiritual regeneration. The Indians of Stockbridge preferred to live in Wigwams in.stcad of houses, and to go unclothed in Summer. • C1VILIZ.4TION . . . tolerance To me there seems to be a par allel between the failure of his first organized effort in A.nerican to civilize the Indians and the ef forts of powerful nation.s to con quer or absorb weaker nations comiio.sed of people of a different race and tradition. The roots of all the present warlike manifesta-- tions throughout the world lie, I believe, in the assertion of super iority of one race over others, and the iillerript to make the so-called inferior race conform to the standards of the other. We have learned a lesson in America. We no longer try to make Indians live like white men or adopt the white man’s religion land customs. So long as they do ijiot behave contrary to the uni- I versal code of morals, which is e.s- I sentially letting other people’.' nroperty and customs alone in guns hut in the hearts of peo ple. It is called “Moral Rearma ment.’’ You will hear of it, if you have not already. If enough indi viduals are morally armed, the world will need no other armam ents.

So far as the big interstate trucking lines go, it is supposed to h.ave been eliminated ■ jg that they do not inter by law. But every road is full of trucks, owned by individuals or small trucking firms, manned by drivers who have not had sufficient sleep—tvho menace the oc cupants of every other vehicle also u.sing the road. The case falls for regulation as plainly as that of the oir trucks—those rolling fire-sprays. customs and beliefs. I think they are much more ci vilized, on the whole, than some of the peoples of Europe—or their rulers.

A man who understands, who knows just what to do at the right moment. A man who could win our confi dence. We have that man—that man is NEUTRALITY (Goldsboro News-Argus) What kind of neutrality law do the peo ple of the United States want? Mr Roosevelt wants one which will let him throw help to nations he favors, in hope and intention of preventing any war. Some members of Congress want a dif ferent type of law, which they hope will keep this nation out of any war which might develop. They contend that when you give help to one side in a war or threatened war you are opening the way by which you can easily be skipped into such war yourself. To try to prevent a big war, to stay out of a big war ourselves, both are desirable objectives. But apparently best opinion i? that we can’t successfully seek to obtain both objectives.
