(John 11:25). ♦ * * Easter teaches us the reality of the things that are unseen. and the power of the Spirit. A risen Saviour established a new faith in the world that showed the reason and authority of service and sacrifice. The real problems o£ the world are not material but spiritual and outside of the teachings of re ligion there is no answer to the problems of life. —Calvin Coolidge on Easter Sunday 1931 (From Moody Monthly). THE SUBTERFUGE COTTON BILL It is well to keep the record straight in regard to the Bankhead cotton bill. For that purpose The Times-News presents a part of the minority report of the House Committee on Agriiculture, which sums up the estimate of the measure as presented by minority members of the committee having- charge of examination and report on this bill in the lower House cf Congress. This minority report of the House Com mittee on Agriculture makes this summary of views of the measure: "This measure constitutes a definite step down a strange, unfamiliar and dangerous road leading to regimentation of agriculture and industry. It initiates for the first time in America compulsory control of production in place of the freedom of action which has always been considered an in herent right of our American citizenship. While earnest attempts hav$ been made in this bill '.o meet constitutional objections which may be made to a measure of this kind, yet we are convinced that in view of the decisions of the courts this measure is unconstitutional. Although in form a taxing measure, the entire purpose and effect of the bill negative the fact that it is expected to produce revenue. Rather it is a regulatory meas ure, going beyond any authority which Congress possesses in that regard, and using the taxing power as a subterfuge." The foregoing may be filed for future reference by our readers. i — THE OBSERVER LS DROWSY The usually accurate and reliable Char lotte Observer published this on its edi-, torial page in Saturday's issue: "The pari-mutual betting, system, in op eration'in Polk county, where the annual horse show is staged in Tryonv—etc, etc. That statement was probably received as queer news in Polk county—very inter esting, if true. If a pari-mutuel betting system has been established in Polk the people in the adjoining county of Hender son have not heard the news. Again, we doubt if anybody anywhere ever heard of a pari-nuituel betting system being operate ecji at a horse show. Race track gambling always accompanies racing. There is no race track at Tryon. WE PROTEST The Charlotte newspapers appear to have their field glasses focused on Polk county in these stirring days. Here is the Charlotte News transferring the citizen ship of Hon. R. Lee Whitmire to Pollc county and basting that astute and experi enced politician for some recent state ments about the Governor and other Dem ocratic leaders. The Times-News declines to be a party to any effort to castigate our fellow citizen and calls upoty The News to restore Lee to citizenship in Henderson county. What The New§ has to say about Lee is to be found in another column. A New York woman has shaved her head and will wear colored wigs to match her gowns.

WIRT Most NRA codes now take away two of our fundamental liberties; viz., a hearing is not neces sary before a conviction is ordered because the government can be judge, jury and prosecutor; and a man making an agreement with the goverr ment can be ordered under threat of punishment to agi;ee in advance that h^ will.give his consent to any regulations or decrees which the govern ment decides is good for him. Beginning with the Tugwell drug bill nearly every piece of new-deal reform legislation pro vides that an executive department, or commission or administrator shall have full power to say with finality what the facts are and that no court or review can go into the evidence. All (.lie piUJJUSCU U 111 XVI aiwuyii vviiitiaiuva .o — threat to punish them if they enter the court of claims and attempt to sue for damages. The present securities bills in congress make the adequate marketing of our securities impossi ble. The only machinery that we have for financ I ing our durable-goods industries is our stock and security markets. We cannot put our unemployed back to work until we can finance the durable goods industries. There is no question but that this machinery needs reforming. But we cannot destroy the only machine that we have while we are building a new one. Practically everything indicated in my commu nication to Rand as planned by the "intellectuals" has already been related, has either been enacted into law or is in the process of being enacted. That we are actually in the process of a delib erately planned American revolution has been an nounced by the revolutionists themselves over and j over again. But the American people think that I such a thing is preposterous and therefore they j have not been inclined to even notico the tremen dous changes in our government. The American people think of revolutions as changes that come only through the overthrow of governments by armed forces. We are not aware of the fact that just as real revolutions can come by the gradual substitution and changes in our laws and that they inevitably radically increase the pov/er of the per sons in charge of the executive branch of our gov ernment. March 24, Mark Sullivan published the follow ing: "It will be a great irony if the Democratic party should become the one opposing individual liberty; but as it seems now they will go into this congres sional campaign indorsing the enormous depriva tion of individual liberty, the great transfer of power over the individual to the government and to the president as an individual, which has marked the Roosevelt administration." Our forefathers knew that to recognize armed revolution is an easy matter. But to recognize boring from within does take "eternal vigilance." I regret that any representative in our goverr ,ment should object to an open and free investiga tion of what is going on in the cften-referred-to American revolution. Now let the people choose. If, after an open discussion and investigation, the American people choose the planned economy, I will co-operate in the new state. I will be an American, but I don't want the new state to be created by the gradual substitution of new ideas in government, without the people being aware that this is being done. As free American citizens, we have the privilege of free speaking concerning any government pro cedure. We can change the form of our govern ment, if we want to do so. That is not treason, but liberty, but the question is, do we want to do so How are we to learn if we don't try to under stand what we are doing? Why not investigate? In my opinion it is not treason f^r a few per sons to promote and work for a change in the form of our government. That is not another Gun powder Plot. Such persons are merely exercising the right of free American citizens, but we are the traitors to our government if we permit a few radicals, with supreme confidence in themselves, but contempt for the average citizen, to get away with it, while we have been asleep. Have we reached the place where an American citizen, in the exercise of his right to come to f Washington to say what he thinks concerning pro posed legislation bpfore congressional committees provided for that purpose, .shall be proclaimed by our representatives to be a lobbyist, a propagan dist, a publicity hound, a crank who wants to make a stump speech? If so, where is our democ racy? After all, our congressmen arc our servants. —Christian Science Monitor. GO ON WITH THE RUNNING It was hardly necessary for Governor Ehring haus to deny the charge of former State Senator R. L. Whitmire of Polk that the governor of the state, together with the state Democratic chairman had "attempted to manipultee" the county board of elections to the discomfiture of Mr. Whitmire, who appears to be opposing J. Will Pless, Jr., of Marion for the solicitorial nomination. In the first place, if State Chairman Wallace Winborne, who is a neighbor of Mr. Pless, desired to manipulate, he could have contrived it easily enough without calling in the assistance of the governor to make an "attempt." In the second place, and really primarily, few will suspect tfye govex^oc of having heard of Mr Whitmire and his candidacy. And this is not said by way of discouraging the Polk county candidate or disparaging him. He is w^U within his rights to run, and no great capacity or exceptional training is required by the elec torate in its selection of a solicitor. The one admonition we would offer him is to guard against running fits, to keep his shirt on and try to disabuse his mind of the suspicion that the election of a solicitor in his or the next fel low's district depends entirely on the personnel of the county board of elections.—Charlotte News.

You Can't Blame Him for Wanting to Take a Boat Trip ■» • rst ' r .. HIS CHARACTER By WICKES WAMBOLDT. Among some or tne omer non sense to be found in court proced ure is the testimony about char acter. It is not unusual to listen to a string of witnesses solemnly telling how lily-white some per Wamboldt when half the au dience in the court room be lieve otherwise. Talking with a newspaper m a r about the fore going situation, ] asked him how many persons he thought coul<$ be induced to go in to court and tes t i f y truthfullj about tne reputation 01 « ti-num local, respectable racketeer. "Not many, if any," replied the newspaper man. But can a man's character be correctly defined as good or bad? Is anybody's character wholly good or wholly bad? If you were put on the witness stand and told to testify as to somebody's character and if you were to be absolutely truthful, might not you find yourself say iny something like this: "He has the reputation of being- good tc his family and of attending- dili gently to his business, but you can not believe anything he says," or "It is generally conceded that he is kind hearted, that he doe? not drink, and that he is faithful to his wife. b*iit he will steal;" 01 "He is rigidly honest in his busi ness affairs, but as crooked as £ dog's hind leg in politics." Some of our worst criminals have good reputations in some re spects. Some of our most vicious racketeers who do not hesitate to plunder and murder, are knowr to be faithful to their friends goou 10 men i amines, auu aiway» | willing to help anybody who is down and out. You can not classify men as either good or had. The worst are not all had and the best are not all good. It often happens that you find witnesses who divide sharply in their opinions about a man's char acter. Some will argue emphati cally that he is good, while oth ers will declare with equal vehe mence that he is bad. Some of the witnesses are looking at one side of the man's character, while others are looking at another side. Frequently adverse criticism, or complimentary comment con cerning a man is due to a lack of understanding of him. A man of gold with a harsh ex ! terior may give those who are not acquainted with him, the impres I sion that he is as hard boiled and as cold blooded as Shylock, while a gold plated somebody with a heart as black as night, may have the uninformed shouting his prais- j es. To appraise a man's character is a difficult thing to do, for how fcv.* of us really know anybody. We may know a man well enough , to be sure how he will react un-! der certain circumstances, but ■ what if he is thrown into a def- j ferent set of circumstances? What will he do then? He may do worse than we had dreamed of, or he may do better than we had hoped for. "He is a bad one," said the man of the criminal he had j brought to justice. j "He's a bad one," said the erim-1 inal of the man who had brought. him to justice. About all we human beings can ! do is to do the best we can with i ourselves and for one another. We | , must set up safeguards. We must i BEHIND THE SCENES IN ,/*■*» Ty~"W . WASUJNGIObl I BY RODNEY DUTCHKtt XKA Service Staff Correspondent ASHINGTON.—We're a forget-! ful people, but it might be just as well to remember the two bil lion dollars we handed Secretary Morgenthau to use at his own dis cretion. The money is supposed- to be used to keep the dollar down on foreign exchange. But what's be ing done with it? Nobody knows except Morgen thau and one or two others whose identity remains undisclosed. No body tells. But some of the insiders, well equipped with inside information, can guess. It's something like this: Once upon a time we had a large export trade and financed it by lending money to other countries so they could buy our goods. (It 6eemed like a feood idea at the time.) Many foreign customers stopped buying when we stopped lending. 3ut many kept buying. Whrtt did they use for money? They used foreign-owned dol lars in American banks, with result that whereas foreign countries had about three bil lions in hank balances and short-term notes here at the end of 1029, they now have less than 300 millions. Well, that can't go on forever. Foreign balances here dwindle and dollar depreciation boosts our com modity balance of trade, making the problem cf payment for our goods more and ^nore difficult. Foreigners miist get American dollars, to pay t'aeir debts foi goods. They biu for dollars and that liaises the value, of the dollar febrodd in terms of francs, lira * -■ -T. .• ta pounds ana so on. There's only one thing Morgen* than can do in a case like that. The law directs him to keep that dollar stabilized. So, almost auto matically, we toss some of our ; stabilization fund into the pot and keep on dumping it. The process sormr, bound to go on unless we create something like an equal balance of trade. ♦ * 0 /"\NCE upon a time there was ?, ^ New Deal and one of the first, most important things it was goinp to do was assemble very accurate statistics on unemployment. The Hoover administration had so often fumbled and falsified those statistics that' everyone agreed a cleanup was in order. Miss Perkins was going to do it. Harry Hop" '**> promised the FERA would do it whether she did,or not. More recently there was a plan to have the CWA workers conduct an unemployment census. Well, the American Federation of Labor's estimates remain the best and the most commonly ac cepted— and no one knows how accurate they are. (They place the unemployed at more than li.000,000.) The A. F. of L. uses ih<* Bureau of Labor Statistics index figures on employment for industry and trade —with the census figures of 1930 for comparison, the Department of Agriculture's basic figures for farm employment; the ICC's figures on railroad men and a certain degree of guesswork. (BLS figures are merely^ examples.) One of these days someone in the government will again suggest ac curate unemployment statlstirs. <Ct»»yrichL 1324.

WHAT BRAND OF DISCIPLINE DO YOU USE? •Tamos Clark never Rives his parents a bit of trouble. lie minds ; the moment he is spokon to; ho i is polite to his mother, and obeys j his father's slightest command, asj soon as it is expressed. lie is' perfectly willing to yield to his j parents' better judgment about j what boys to play with, what | books to read, when to go to bed. | His parents constantly sing his j praises; and their friends con-; L'.ratulato them upon their won [jerful discipline. The father takes j credit for this, saying that it . pays to be firm with children, and j to insist upon unquestioning obe-1 ilienco. Of late, however, things have not been quite as satisfactory a.; j :hey were. The boy has lost in-1 crest in his school work, gets J ooor marks, and does not seem to ( feel bad about it. He is listless | and mopes about, and does not j -are to play. He has lied to his parents on a number of occasions, !o that they are beginning to he unable to trust him. He is pale,' languid, listless. They have caught) him more than once in small i thefts. What can be the matter? | [s it possible that the father's; discipline was at fault? | Not only possible, but certain !| Instead of being disciplined to- ' ward self-determination and abi!-| ity to make decisions for himself,1 this unfortunate child has been schooled to depend absolutely up on his father. He sees no hope of ever making a life for himself. The future holds no zest. A! stronger nature would have re-! belled against such a discourag-1 inrr. hopeless future; and his re bellion would have saved the day. Unfortunately, this boy was made of the stuff that bends to superior force. The condition in which he finds himself is but the beginning of a life of neurotic, unhappy dependence upon those to whom he will cling—stronger natures, like his father or later his employer or friend—never devel oping into true maturity. His "dis cipline" has been a tragedy in deed. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS QUESTION: Di>ar Dr. Richard son: My little girl r.eenis constant ly obsessed by fears—fear of the dark, fear of strangers, fear of high places and of lon-ly places, fear of loud noises. In fact, there is hardly anything that she is not afraid of. T am quite nervous my self; and more so than usual, since a slight accident that I had in the car a few months ago. My little £ii 1 seems to be full of com plexes. ANSWER: Most of us are—in fact, we could not function very well if we were not full of com plexes. If you mean that your lit tle girl is full of undesirable com plexes, that irf of course not near ly so good. I am wondering wheth er much of this fear of everything in creation is not a passable imita tion of your conduct since your accident; at least, if it is not the best imitation that a little girl can make of a grown woman's conduct. I shall not ask you to control your "nervousness." But i shall have to tell you that that is a large factor ih your little girl s feai s. You would be set ting her a wonderful example alonjr the line of what you are come to our conclusions, yet^we can not dwell too much on the Vices nor become too much fooled with the virtues. There is some thing wrong with every one of u? to a greater or lesser degree. If there were not, it is hardly likelv we shodld be here.
