DUNN, N. C. These Days £ckcUklf i ii'iniiMiin i ii THE AVOIDANCE OF TEMPTATION * With*all the crookedness going on in Washington and its approaches, many solutions are offered as to how to make men ns honest as they should be. For instance, the Fullbright investigation will stand as a monumental Index to the possi bilities cf corruption through the President's office, but the fact is that nobody ''as been or will be punished because the misdemeanors and felonies are of a moral and not a juridiclal nature. To state It sim ply, the punishment is more like ly to be in the hereafter than here. Arthur Hays Sulzberger was de livering a speech on the greatness of his wife’s father, Adolph Ochs, who bought the “New York Times” when it was doing poorly and bull, it into one of the foremost news papers of all time. This speech was made before the Silurians, who are newspapermen of long stand ing and know w'heiee the fact was borne. Os Ochs, Sulzberger said: . . He had the intelligence to avoid business temptations. He was a very human man and pos sessed his share of human frailties but he knew it and so he refused to place himself in a position to be tempted. Very shortly after he arrived in New York, his friend Samuel Untermyer was the inter mediary who offered him a contract so $150,000 woth of municipal a<T vertising. No strings were attached. Mr. Urftermyer would not have been a party to any deal involving his friend. But Mr. Ochs turned it down and did so on the theory that he needed the revenue so des perately that he would instantly ad just his operations to the windfall and he was unwilling to trust him self as to what he might do if, after that had happened, he was threat ened with a cancellation of the con tract.” The sequence of thought there represents a thoroughly theological approach to morality, which is not that man will not sin, given the opportunity, but that righteousness manifests itself by avoiding the Op portunity . • ?•*■"!■* ■ - I do not know why Mr. Ochs could not have taken this advertising. For it was the people’s money that was being spent on advertising and the officials should or should not have put it in his newspaper strictly on the basis of its value,of the people. It is like many who are today worried about sticking their necks out in political discussion lest their Income tax returns be in vestigated, or their anti-trust re lations, or their radio station li censes or some other activity which gives the government an opportu nity to use its power to destroy. The avoidance of temptation is a very hard road to follow, because for men in public life temptations are not limited to dollars or mink coats, but there is the fate worse than death of being unpopular and even obscure. Mr. Ochs, for instance, never was on the celery circuit. That is a spreading disease which few dare avoid. I shall diagnose it for you in detail: A public man needs to be seen. The more he is seen, the more cele-. .brated he is. Therefore, in many places, he is invited to attend pub lic dinners where he sits on the dais. Uusually this takes four to five hour out of his life. The chairs are the most uncomfort- lature to help laws to acquit the criminals. It wasn’t long ago that we heard a prominent Dunn church leader express opposition to legalized whiskey. The reason he gave was startling: “I sell the bootleggers a lot of sugar. Not only that, bootleg money stays in Dunn. If we had legal whiskey, the money would go up north.” We saw the same man stand up in the Baptist Church and sanctimoniously make a “dry” speech. " . We aren’t discussing prohibition—we’re merely showing the attitude of citizens. During the recent city election, churches became very much involved in the campaign. It was a campaign of personalities, not an election on a moral issue, but spine of our leaders actually gave but pafnphlets and cards in the church house. We’re not condemning them for that. It was their ilege, even though we never have believed in getting tlie churches mixed up with politics., vs , _ What we’re wondering is this? Will those same leaders in the campaign be willing to get out now and assist the new police chief in rounding up the evidence? Will they be willing to take out time aod testify in court? Will they be willing to sit on a jury and renddfca verdict in favor of law enforcement? We hardly think so. They never have shown the present nolice chief or the sheriff that much cooperation. ijm nrp rinnht cprimislv that ch&n&rinc nolipp chiefs or ayu, wc a 6 to do it v '• THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N. C.

I only blow out candles once a year, on my birthday, and I don’t need a snuffer for that. The rest of the time I am an electric light man. This indicates that a silver candle snuffer is not exactly a necessity, upon the price of which depends the financial stability of this nation. So I am inclined to agree with the boss department store man who urged the Senate to make Mike DiS&lle quit wasting his and the taxpayers’ time controlling the retail prices of snuffers. Odd thing is that practically everybody in any line of business is prepared to prove that his particular widget ought to be exempt from Mike’S OPS rules. That’s the trouble. There are so many of these em battled citizens lining up before OPENS REVIVAL The Rev. J. David Capps, Benson evangelist and former pastor of Benson Free Will Baptist Church, opened a two-week revival at that church Sunday.

There are differences of opinion on how to live, but the yearning for popularity is a greater empta tion than the yearning for dollars. It becomes a debasement of per sonality, a craven currying of vul gar favor in the desire to be seen, heard and patted on the back. The price for fulsome praise is often too high and shaving has this draw back, that it forces one to look at his own face at least once a day. (Copyright, 1951, King Features Syndicate. Inc.) the Senate and the House to de-j nounce Mike and all his doings, that there is no chance for Con gress to pass a new price control law before the deadline ene month hence. The statesmen are too busy listening to people protest the law to spend any time rewriting it. If their scheduled witnesses ever get through lambasting the price controllers, the lawgivers hope to rush through an extension of the present statute before It expires on June 30. They have heard to date from used-car dealers, meat packers, dog food canners, cotton spinners, steelmakers, landlords, auto trail er makers, wool growers, and, a mong others, barbers. Controlling the prices of hair cuts, said the Master Barber spokesman, is poppycock; any time a man doesn’t like the cost he can buy a pair of clippers and turn the Job over to his wife. Most of this speechifying I have sat through, doodling at the press table. My art work-has been caus ed by the fact the arguments all sounded alike; if any businessman should show up and announce that he wanted price controls on his own products Td write a bulletin about him. Most unusual of the witnesses, I guess, have been those celebrat ed attorneys, Scott Lucas and Francis Myers, both violently op posed to the Administration's hold-the-price line. Their names sound familiar? Lucas used to be the Senator from Illinois and the floor leader, while Myers was the Senator from Pennsylvania and Democrats’ whip. If the voters had not chosen to turn them out last November their job would be to force the price control law through Congress. As it is, Lucas is working for the secondhand auto dealers, while Myers is speaking for the retail credit people.
