THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1934 BIBLE THOUGHT r TRUE PATRIOTISM The man who torn? h»s hack upon God, who neglects His worship, and lives in violation of His commandments is AN" ENEMY of his country, 11 care not how ioud his profession of patriotism. If 1 you love your country, "FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS." (Eccl. 12:13). This will bring -ecurity to our nation such as armies can never sjive. (Prov. 16:7).—Rev. J. F. Cannon, D. D. * * * "God of might God of love God of hope God of peace God of life Keep us aH Pure and true Evermore." (Taps) A LEPROUS CIVILIZATION PLANS BACTERIAL WAR (By BRUCE CATTOX) A lot of the things that have happened in the world in the last few years are al most enough to give a thoughtful person the feeling that the human race has gone quite mad. Nothing points quite so strongly in that direction as the things that get printed when that "next Avar" is up for discussion. Glance, for example, at the article re cently published in England by Wickham Steed, veteran journalist. Mr. Steed says that disease germs and poison gas will be used against civilian ^populations in the next war. Elaborate plans for infecting municipal water and air supplies wi+h bacteria have been made, ho j says, and large-scale epidemics are pretty lapt to be a part of future combats. In making this prediction, Mr. Steed, .unfortunately, doesn't stand alone. In Rich ;ard W. Rowan's recent book, "Spies and the Next War," the same forecast is made. Mr. Rowan even presents diagrams oil the ingenious containers by which espion age agents can introduce cholera germs into foreign cities. Reading such things, one is almost maOe ready to agree with those prophets of ca lamity who assert that modern white civi lization has run its course, that European calture is about to go the way of Assyria and Egypt. When nations prepare to throw disease germs at one another, they are ready to commit suicide on a grand scale. vor dis ease germs do not respect international \ frontiers. , Plant the plague in your neighbor's back | yard today and yoa'Il have it in your own bedroom tomorrow. If the bacteriological offensive is to become a part of warfare, Europe faces a future compared to which the Dark Ages will seem like a period of peace, prosperity, and enlightenment. An English novelist recently remarked j that we don't say that a man who has Iep-, rosy spots on his body is a healthy man! afflrcted by unhealthy symptoms; we say; he is a leper, and, as tong as the leprous | spots remain, we class him as a very sick! man, no matter how sound some of his, organs may be. The same thing, suggests this noveltist,' is true of a civilization. This business of; enrolling bacteria as soldiers is a leprous spot on modern civilization; and it testi fies that the whole body of 20th century society is deathly siek. Twenty-ton double doors, 35 feet high, 18 feet wide, ami a foot thick are being made for a government building in Wash ington, but the politicians will get tliroufch, anywa/., A scientist reports that the universe is six thousand million light years in diame ter. Some day one of these scientists will make a statement that we can catch him on. • Bootleggers are reported to be outsell ing legal liquor dealers two to one. In the days of prohibition, the bootleggers were simply out selling. | NEWSPAPERS9 OPINION | o -o THE PEOPLE SPEAK—AND REPEAT THEMSELVES , One D. R. Wiles has been arrested and placed under a small bond for having allegedly voted twice at North Wilkesboro Saturday in the judi cial primary. It is charged that his two ballots 1 were cast for J. A. Rousseau of Wilkes, who seems to have a slight lead over J. H. Burke of Alexan der. and it is. also alleged that Wiles expressed reget that he had not but two votes to cast for the candidate of his choice. No, Vrrgini&'we don't believe that Santa Claus is planning to bring us an honest primary. As a matter of fact, save for Attorney General Brum mitt's rather theoretical interest in the matter of enforcing the corrupt practices act, it is hard to visuaHze anybody doing anything about this well nigh stiffing stench in the nostrils of those simple souls who look upon an election as an expression of the will of the people. The legislature, as you may recall, refused to appropriate any money to defray the expenses of the attorney general's of fice in investigating possible violations of the law, and a solicitor -who refused to act upon evidence collected by Mr. Brummitt against Surry county election officials in their conduct of the 1932 pri mary has just been made a LTnited States district attorney. It doesn't seem to do any good to point out the obvious indecency of using such a means as the primary to select judges of the superior court' of North Carolina. Mr. Wiles, if he did vote dou ble. was not alone in regretting that he had so little weight in the selection of a member of our boasted non-partisan judiciary. And besides, the audience is probably a-wearied of our ineffectual importunity in this connection. We offer for what it is worth, however, the sug gestion that if the primary is to be maintained for i the purpose of determining who shall sit in judg ment upon us, there ought to be some special ef fort made to convince the more impressionable voters of the seriousness of corruption in manning the benches. Perhaps $10 or $20 offered for evi dence suffiffcient to cohviet a perpetrator of a fraud in a judicial primary would be about right. Surely a corrupter of the ballot is almost as subversive of public morals as he who operates a moonshine still.—Charlotte News. ! A MISSOUR1AN, NOT A NEW ENGLANDER j A year from this coming: November 30, will be j the 100th anniversary of the birth of the most j famous of all Missourians, Samuel Langhorno j Clemens, as his parents futilely christened Mark Twain. Already plans are being made for the cele brations in different parts of the country and hardly a week goes by without a dispatch telling what one of his various places of residence is go ing to do—all of which is distinctly gratifying to i the peopl eof his native state. Via our venerable ! contemporary, the Boston Evening Transcripr, j comes word that the New York Mark Twain Foun- i dation has selected Hartford, Conn., as the loea- j tion for a $600,000 memorial which it proposes j to erect in connection with the centennial. Agreeing that the Connecticut capital has firs: claim for the honor, the Transcript ventures to ; assert that "it was in Hartford that Mark Twain j spent the happiest 30 years of his life." To this ' we must register a stern dissent. Mark Twain may j have left Missouri at the outbreak of the Civil j war, but he never ceased to be a Missourian or to glory in the things of this state. All the proof I that anyone should need is the fact that after lie ' went to Hartford to live, he spent much time in ' happy recollection of the scenes of his boyhood and youth, and gave the world immoral Tom and ; Huck and "Life on the Mississippi."—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. HEAVENS ARE RIDICULING Mr. Wallace, editor of a farm paper in the mid dle west, was made secretary of a department of the federal government. With the best of inten tions, we assume, he decided that he could cor rect financial ills by killing little pigs and by ploughing up cotton, wheat and corn. But the' rains for a few weeks were shut up in the heavens while t^e sun did shine and the winds of the Da kotas did blow. As a result the farmers who last year were in rebellion against the plentitude of the fields and who set guards along the highways that led to market are busy now hauling water 50 miles to quench the thirst of their families and of their cattle, while the goVernrtient is shipping thousands upon thousands of cows to North Caro lina in search of pasturage. It looks to us that the very heavens are ridiculing the supposed wis dom of the wise.—N. C. Christian Advocate. A STRONG CONGRESS MINORITY A strong minority is desirable in any legislative body. In our own case this is essential. For be it l'emembered that we are about to emerge from an experimental field into one of permanency, and more than ordinary caution becomes necessary. Democratic lea<Jer?hrp fs hoping for, although not really expecting, an increased Democratic major ity. Republican leadership is working to make substantial inroads on the present one-way Con gress. The common sense of the pepole shonM advise that this object should be attained, for in no other way can there be sane discussion and in telligent criticism.—Philadelphia Inquirer. A RECIPROCAL TARIFF Can we bargain to take more silk from Japan if she will take more cotton from America? Can we arrange with Brazil and Colombia ta take moi'-e cotton got)ds fn return for the coffee we take from them? These nations, incidentally, are amOng the few which sell mor£ goods to the United States than they boy. We have cried loud and long for this reciprocal tariff bill—possibly on the theory that it was bet ter than nothing—and now it is up to us to figure how it can best be made to operate. If it has pos sibilities as a stimulator of our foreign trade, as an agency to move more cotton abroad, we had better begin figuring out the details of the proj j ect. The President doubtless would be very grate fol to have a feasible plan laid before him.—The Houston Chronicle. DR. JfiKYLL AND MR. HYDE ' X THE rtRE ROPE By WICKES WAMBOLDT Last winter, Alice and I stop ped overnight at a famous St. Augustine hostelry. As we were preparing to retire, I called her attention to a coil of rope hang ing under one of the windows. "I can not remember." I said. Wamfcoldt L11 tit i \vcio t > vi ■ before in a ho tel room that \v a s equipped with a l'ire rope." "What is a fire rope foi?" en quired Alice. "It is to j»et you out of the! window and down j to the ground in ! case the hotel pet? on fire jmd you cant gee out any umci. Fire ropes are not commonly pro vided for their guests by hotels/' I went nn informatively, "for the reason that they avo impractical. The person who has not had ex perience in climbing: a rope, would in case of a fire, run a better chance of being; saved, through waiting for a fireman to take him out. or by jumping into a fire net. Should he try to go down a fire rope, he would likely break his neck. "Now, take you, for instance," I went on, still manifesting s»u perior knowledge. "7t wouid be impossible for yon to go down that rope. You would lo^e your hold ^.nd fall before you had gone three feet. Eut," 1 added grandly, "if this hotel should iret on fue, you and I would be all right. T'd lower you to the ground: then I'd go down the rope. I used to be pretty good at rope climbing when I was in the gymnasium." Alice eyed the rope specula tively: "Well," sho said decisively, "in case of fire, I certainly wouldn't jro down and leave you up here." ' Oh." I replied reassuringly, "you and I could work it all right for, don't ycu see, I could easily lower you and slide down after you." Alice demurred and insisted ps she climbed into her bed that in case of fire she would not go and leave yie to follow. I would have to go first and ^he would follow me. But 1 proceeded by means of masculine logic to show Alice where her reasoning was entirely fallacious: "Don't you see," I reiterated with convincing lucidity, "that I have had training in rope climb ing, wheie you have not"?" AMce listened so attentively that I was sure she had accepted my poinf.of view that the matter was settled. So I snapped out the light and climbed into my bed. About the time I got my head snuggled into the pillow, Alice peeped out: "All the same I wouldn't go first and leave you." "But don't vou see, my dear,*' I elucidated patiently. "1 could lower vou, but you couldn't lower me. I know how to slidn down a rope and you do not. There is a little trick in wrapping one log a^out thrt rop°. so as to regulate the rapidity of vour desr^nt. Yon don't know that little trick. "Yes," admitted Alice, "but I wouldn't go first." An hour later, after an unin terrupted discussion pro and con, I felt assured that at last I had sold Alice on the idea that J should lower her to the ground and slide down after h£r in case fire should break out. and cut us BEHIND WE SCENES IN 5 _ | WASHINGTON BY RODNEY DUTGliM* NKA Service Staff Correspondent YtTASHINGTON. — All lianas ** here were so confused as to what was happening in the last few days of Conpress that some of the most important develop ments are only now becominc clear. Hardly anyone, for instance, seemed to realize the implica tions of ihe Kerr-Smith tobacco act. Perhaps that was because Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia, who made a terrific uproar oVer regimentation of the farm busi ness and opposed the Bankherift coftoa control measure, gave the biH his blessing. The tobacco act, on examina tion, prbves to go a lot further toward compulsory control of to bacco gro w e r s—including the : many in Virginia—than the i BanKhoad law does in the case of cotton farmers. Every cotton farmer will get a certificate for a certain quofa of cotton. Anything he sells in ex cess of that quota is subject to a i presumably prohibitive tax. He isn't compelled to co-operate. But the to Ink'co raiser must now sign a contract if lie wish es' to avoid a penalty fax 0"n his entire cfop. it he tloesn^ sign, h*> doesn't get (ne ;vHotment certificate tffiich exempts tiini from tax Ort 1)i* quota. Thus lie is driven into rt contract with AAA. AAA men who will administer /he act say it will work more smoothly than the Bankhead law. Conpress—"including Senator Byrd—passed it at th<; b«-hest of a vast majority of tobacco grow ers. » « * JpRICE fixing isn't working so well in t lie beer business, be cause brewers kuow hq uiany j.ways or getting arouna. meir rout provision for price posting.

The admin istration would liko to bolster up {the weak Mendieta government at Havana and can't think of any ' better way just now than to stim ulate trade between the two I l countries. i In any event, it is resigned to ithe likelihood of another Cuban i revolution before effects of the j treaty are felt. I President Mendtota and his ad jvisers had a terrible time decid ing when the abrogation of the Plntt amendment—which gave us special rights of intervention— should! be signed. They lay awake nights wondering whether a fa vorable popular reaction to it would ;Jje greater than the value of the deterrent effect of the amendment on would-be revolu tionist?. They held off signing until they felt their political position ! was strong enough to withstand I attack'. Apparently they were not as strong as they thought ' they were. i The one big thing Cuba sr^kj i in the tariff treaty is a fnrthei • cut in the duty on her sugar, j There's some strong support lot 1 that in the administration heVe.
