Maine lift the Republican fold, and
South Carolina defeated Cole Blease,
which is enough political news for
one day.
The fear is that, if the dry
weather continues as October ap
proaches, it will be others than the
? >litirians who willi be setting the
inuutaius afire.
In othv'r words, Republican leaders
:i Washington are {rotting what con
dition they can out of the thought
hat, after all, the Maine election is
sot the main election.
Maybe this ltobins, who was sup
/ ,-.?sed to be on his way to a eonfer
iit*e with President Hoover, and dis
;>penred, just decided that it was
line f .r robins to n.ove on south.
\V? really sympathize with our,
'resilient, what with miding of the
.'laine election and another stock
Market, and corn, wheat, and cotton
...tinip, all in the same daily news.
The State of Maine is getting more
publicity out of the election, and is
i trading more attention from the
ii-st of the country, than by any
N uLug she has done, since being ad
V Quitted to the Union.
Mr. Hoover says he is opposed to
ish payment of the bonus because
is "class legislation.'' There would
. nothing new about that, Mr.
.?evident, .just a change in the ben
liciaiy class.
, ) '
i'ishop II. M. DuBose, of the M.
. hurdi, Southern persuasion, says
mi he will vote for Iloover and
;is, because Curtis is dry and
might succeed to the presidency.
a Imping that Absalom will get
!iair hung up in an oak tree, are
. 1 H shop f
!?? the way, what has become of
Whataniau Maun, who pussy
>' - d about in North Carolina and
: ' here, some to.ir years ago this
.i-. and who, with Bishop Cannon,
? : : i k MeNinch, and F. M. Simmons,
generally credited with having had
..re or less to do with turning the
??de hereabouts for llooverl
What we have never been able to
nderstand is v. av it wouldn't bring
ihe return of prosperity to tin
oiintry just as speedily for the gov
1 ?' "anient to pay the soldiers their ad
.. (sted compensation as it would tc
!ish out billions to big banks, rail
? oads and the like; and, so far as
e have observed, nobody in auth
. .'I'itv has called the latter classifi
cation ugly names, like "treasury
1 aiders" or "reds."
Personally we had as soon, or a
little rather take the word of Floyd
liihbous, who is disinterested, than
? if Pat Hurley, Mr. Hoover's secre
V.iry of war, who issued the actual
?rders for the use/ of the regular
nhnv against the /veterans, as to
hat actually did happen ip Wash
?lgtou on the late lamentable oc
?lsion, ?vhen 20,000 veterans were
'riven out of the capital, and the
?\tiful hovels that housed them and
\ ' iieir families, bnmed down behind
I ) t
liem.
Following every election, and dur
' isr every campaign there are charg
?m of election frauds committed by
? ;?'im>cratie poll-holders. Yet the ev
?"lence rarely is produced to sub
jintiate the blanket charges. In
Watauga the thing went so far that
large number of Democrats were
. idicted in the federal court. 17 of
;iei:? have recently been tried, in
so cases, before n Republican judge,
Republican District attorney pros
uting, and in Wilkes, the strongest
?eimblican county in the State. They
ere a'l found not guilty, and Judge
?> yes discharged them.

PROSPERITY IN NERRASKA
T i "V are so overcome with pros
it v on the farms out in the bu
west that the board of educa
t in one Nebraska county has vot
to buy corn f rom the county's
r inners, to use ?s fuel for heating
'?liool buildings, this winter, in
"1 if buying coal. The board fig
1 that it can buy corn, at present
? ic"s. for less than coal will cost,
, money for the tax-payers, and,
In- same time afford a market, of
. ? Nwrt, for the farmers.
Using corn to heat school build
ings is probably a sensible action,
under present conditions, out in Ne
braska; but there is something very
much awry in a country when owners
of coal mines are seeing their for
tunes dwindle away, when rail roads,
have to borrow millions of dollar)
from the federal treasury, to keej
them out of bankruptcy, because oj
scarcity of freight to haul, when rail
road men anil out of jobs, when coa
miners and their families stand it
long lines, begging bread, and con
is used as fuel in Nebraska.
BUCOUCALLY SPEAKING
Fred Brcckmui, Washington re
presentative of the Nations' (Irangt
is authority for the statement thir
farm products average 50 per cent
below the pre-war prices; that things
the farmer has to buy average 100
percent above pre-war rates.
There you have, in concise facts
just what caused the panic, in tlx
first place. During the good, oh
Coolidge days, when the stock mar
ket was soaring, and millions were
gambled away and won thereon,
when we were told that times wen
good, the farmers were suffering
with Ihe same ailment, not- so acut-'
as for the pas! two years, but I !??
same complaint, just the same. Ag
riculture was hurting. Between 1920
and 1930, during the so-called good
days, 682,000 fanmrs lost their
homes and lands through tax-fore
closures. In little more than a decadi
the \alue of farm lands, machinery
and live-stock has shrunk '15 billion
dollars in value.
Struggling, suffering agriculture,
finally dragged the entire nation
down into the depths of the panic.
[ The leaders were warned of what
was eoming; but could not or woith
not see the hand-writing dn the wall.
Tlif Coolidge and Hoover administra
tions encouraged the stock gamblers
to continue in their wild speculations.
The State Department encouraged
the people of the rutin try to invest
their savings in foreign securities,
most of which are now worthless.
The only remedy that could be
thought up to aid suffering agricul
ture was to employ a bunch of high
salaried men as a farm hoard, and
to raise the tariff rates, over the
most solemn warnings and protests
of (lie leading economists and bus
iness executives of the country.
Agriculture dragged the whole fi
nancial structure of our country
d;? it'll with it, in a mighty crash.
Alter all is said and done, agri
culture is still our basic industrv.
When the planter makes money rais
ing eotton, the South is prosperous.
When wheat brings a profit to the
producer, the West pros)>ers. When
agriculture generally is prosperous
the wheels of industry hum in town
and city, the laborer has a job, the
farmer buys what ,he needs, creating
mon jobs for the laborer, who can
buy Ihe things that the farmer pro
duces. \

~ Writer of" TH F*^^TER EXECUTIVE"
Supplying a weekto-weel- -njpi ration for the heavy- burdened who will find
every human tnal paralleled in the experiences of The Man Nobody Knows."
A LEADER OF MEN ) _ ,
In any crowd and under any circumstartces the leader standd
out. Bv the power of his faith in himself he commands, and men
instinctively obey.
This blazing conviction was the first and greatest element in
the success of JesUs. The second was his wonderful
power io pick men, and to recognize hidden capac
ities in them. It must have amazed Nicodemus
when he learned the names of the twelve whom the
young teacher had chosen to be his associates.
What a list ! Not a single well-known person on
it. Nobody who had ever made a success of any
thing. A haphazard collection of fishermen and
smalltown business men and one tax collector a
member of the most hated element in the com
munity. What a crowd !
Bruce TJarton Nowhere is there such a startling example of
executive success as the way in which that organization was
brought together. Take the tax collector, Matthew, as the most
striking instance. His occupation carried a heavy weight of social
ostracism, but it was profitable. He was probably well-to-do accord
ing to the simple standards of the neighborhood ; certainly he was
a busy man and not subject to impulsive action. His addition to the
group of disciples is told in a single sentence:
"And as Jesus passed by, he called Matthew."
Amazing. No argument ; no pleading. A smaller leader would
have been compelled to set up the advantages of the opportunity.
"Of course you are doing well where you are and making money,"
he might have said. "I can't offer you as much as you are getting;
in fact you may have some difficulty in making ends meet. But I
think we are going to have an interesting time and shall probably
accomplish a big work." Such a conversation would have been
met with Matthew's reply that he would "have to think it over,"
and the world would never have heard his name.
Jesus had the born leader's gift for seeing powers in men
of which they themselves were often almost unconscious. One
day as he was coming into a certain town a tremendous crowd
pressed around him. There was a rich man named Zacchaeus in
town; small in stature, but with such keen business ability that
he had got himself generally disliked. Being curious to see the
distinguished visitor he had climbeo up into a tree. Imagine his
surprise when Jesus stopped under the tree and commanded
him to come down saying. "To-day I intend to eat at your house."
The crowd was stunned. Some of the bolder spirits took it
upon themselves to tell Jesus of his social blunder. He couldn't
afford to make the mistake of visiting Zacchaeus, they said. Their
protests were without avail Thoy saw in Zaccha?us merely a dis
honest Jew ; Jesus saw in him a man of unusual generosity and
a fine sense of justice, who needed only to have those qualities
revealed by some one who understood.
' So with Matthew ? the crowd saw only a despised tax-gatherer.
Jesus saw the potential writer of a book which will livMorever.

LESSON
^ Charles E. Dunn
Lesson for September 18:
The Reports of the Spies
Numbers 13 and 14
Golden Text : Psalm 27 :1
The Israelites were now in the wild
erness of Paran, when Moses is com
manded by the Lord to select twelve
men, one from each tribe, to make a
por t wa s ' cc 'in p re -
r ? la* Rev. Chas. E. Dunn
hensive, but not
unanimous.
Ten of the spies, while admitting
that the land was very rich, neverthe
less counseled against attempted con
quest. "All the people we saw there,"
they insisted, "were men of huge size.
They made us feel like grasshoppers."
(Moffatt's version.)
But Caleb and Joshua, who gave the
minority report, were made of sterner
stuff. "We ought to march up at once."
they cried, "and seize the land."
Note the grit of this sturdy pair.
They had plenty of nerve to oppose a
verdict of comrades who greatly out
numbered them. Never was such cour
age more needed. We are all tempted
to follow the crowd like silly sheep.
How few will think through for them
selves the profound issues at stake in
the coming election, and vote accord
ingly! Most voters will flock to the
band-wagon of that candidate whom
they think is most likely to win.
Secondly, consider the exploring
spirit of Caleb and his companion,
their pcnchant for adventure. The Jews
were a great exploring people. Now
opportunities for travel are very limited
for most of us. But we can cultivate
our minds. We can develop a hobby.
f Finally, these men had the confi
dence of victory. They knew that they
were right, that time was on their
side. The people, in despair, scorned
their advice, and yearned for Egypt.
But Caleb and Joshua stuck to their
guns, and 'lived to see their judgment
vindicated. Under Joshua the children
of God did enter Canaan.
You and I desperately need, in this
time of fear and doubt, such confidence
in the future triumph of the i right.
Whe; ?* disheartened let us say, with
Gladstone, "I ?f-eal to tin-,;."
