These words from the scriptures and the poem below, with its history, form th esermon for the week. “The Drunk ard’s Lament" was writen nearly forty years ago, by a young- lawyer in another state. One of the most bril liant men in his city, he became a drunkard. He summed up his life in the lines that follow and then shot himself. The poem was published with th< account of his death. THE DRUNKARD’S LAMENT I have been to the funeral of all my hopes, And entombed them one by one; Not a word was said, not a tear was shed. When the mournful task was done. Slowly and sadly I turned me ’round And sought my silent room. And there alone. By the cold hearthstone, I wooed the midnight gloom Arid as the night wind’s deepening shade towered above my brow, I wept o'er days When manhood’s rays Were brighter far than now. r I he dying embers on the hearth Gave out their flickering light. As if to say, That is the way. Thy life shall close in night. 1 wept alone in anguish sore O’er the blight of prospects fair. While demons laughed And eagerly quaffed My tears like nectar rare. Through hell’s red hall an echo rang, An echo loud and long, As in the bowl I plunged my soul 7n the might of madness strong. And there within that sparkling glass I knew the cause to lie; This all men own. From zone to zone; Yet millions drink and die. UNIONS AND AKKITR \ I ION < apital has rights; labor has rights. There is a personal element in ques tions arising between the tw r o that hinders the just settlement of their differences if they undertake such settlement. A great Southern states man. Dr. J. B. Gambrell of Texas, :aid: "There are three sides to every question- your side, my side and the right side. The personal interest ele ment makes it difficult for either pat ty to approach, and consider the mat ter at issue unbiased. If an agree ment is reached, usually one or the other is not satisfied. We recall a difference between two prominent citizens in which each seemed disposed to take his claim to the courts. But through the sympa thetic suggestion of a friend, each selected a competent man, and they agreed on a third arbitrator. The dif ference was settled outside the courts without cost to either party. Frequently such a course might he followed and thereby great expenses and further bitterness saved, if liti gants would turn to their friends for settlement. Very few strikes have ever been settled satisfactorily by the union or capital casting the decid ing vote. Later the question rose again, and trouble followed. In the recent strike in Raleigh, while the Raleigh Times won, it left a sting in the Union that will vex capital and labor in that city in the future. Not knowing the details of the differences, we are in no position to weigh and decide the justice of < ither side. But as a rule we believe all differences,whether between indi viduals, or labor and capita!, should be settled by arbitration just as mat ters in court are settled by a jury trial, which is in fact a form of arbi- Dation. A WORLD POLICE FORCE \ The League of Nations and the I World Court are fine foundations for [world peace, but seem to have made Ino practical progress since the per-i ifecting of their organizations. Today they stand helpless before what ap pears may become a world’s confla gration, and their opportunity waits while poor ancient China dies. The United States carries the bal ance of power, especially of moral power and should walk in and take her place with the other great powers in this crisis and help decide the fate i of the world. We are told that the I Teague calls conferences and formu lates agreements. The ( ourt inter j prets the meaning of international ! agreements. Now a means is needed Ij to carry oat the mandates of these. To make it effective, it will be neces sary for each nation involved to have a part. And the agency which can ac complish this end we believe is a - world police force organized and di rected by the nations themselves. The responsibilities shouid be di ! vided according to the strength and interests of each nation. . . . Let each provide a proportionate part of the police unit and share according 1 to responsibility in the expense of operation. The whole cost of such a police force would be little more than the cost of the military department of any one single great power today. The United States is spending each year seven million dollars on its navy and army. When a nation arms itself inde pendently for defense, it is like each ward of a great city acting independ ently for its own protection against all the other wards. Such is the con dition today among the people of the world. If we had a world police force, the component part of any nation :n j times of peace could be used for . national policing till need arose eke- J where. Then it could be dispatched to the seat of trouble. When a na tion refused to accept the decision of the I/eague and Court, and should at t<mpt as in the case of Japan to ad minister justice in its own -way, this police force could be dispatched quickly to enforce its mandates. To function properly, the League must function positively. Nothing tried so far seems to have the essentials to keep or bring about peace. A world force furnished and equipped by the nations of the earth has not been tried. The principle involved has been tried in a pradtical and successful way within the na tions themselves. It is working all over America today from the village marshal to the state militia. I>et s try the principle in its broadcast apl plication and police the world against exploitation and conquest. t The Pathfinder suggests that a fine way to cut down government expenses would be to pay officials what they are really worth. Some of them might be like the negro who, when offered a job on such terms, said, “But, Boss. I jes’ couldn’t afford to work for that.” In 13 items of advice given by Sam-j uel Crowther concerning present day I conditions, we find two of special ap- ( peal. One is unusual. It says, “Insist that everyone who works for you does a real day’s work.” Good advice that, for both employer and employee. If j followed, it would make easier the other item we noted —“Stop worrying.”! March. Because it so exactly expresses what we believe. w T e quote the folloking ex tract from an article by Elizabeth Cook, in The Ladies’ Home journal for! “As it is now, 1 sometimes think; that children in one room rural schools have a pretty g.>od break, especially, v.ith a good teacher.. There is more social development in a room of assort ed ages; there is more incentive to the little ones because they want to catch up with the older pupils; there is more pride in learning for the older ones because they have the little ones for an audience. There is less compe tition and more consideration. It isn’t altogether accident that many leaders come from such schools.” One who could repeat from memory all the rules for parsing found in Howley’s English Grammar, and all the rules for “working” fractions, and who learned them from hearing them • repeated by urper classes wiii fina it| easy to agree with Mrs. Cook. Our| modern schools are in many ways a | great improvement over the old; but we have discarded some things that were very much worth while.

B.—George A. Younce, his resignation as Solicitor of the district in the hands of Govern_ or O. Max Gardner, today awaited a chance to exonerate himself before the bar of justice of any blame in connec tion with the fatal shooting of his friend, Sheriff James A. Leonard, here 'early Friday. | He looked back on swift events that within 48 hours swept aside tE* course of his public life. Still in his thirties, he had climaxed his term in the legislature by electon as a solici tor. Then Friday morning Sheriff Leonard was shot to death here. Mr. Brinkley, who held the office of county attorney, has resigned his po sition. Younce and W. F. Brinkley, chair man of the County Democratic Exe cutive Committee, who had spent ! Thursday evening with the sheriff dis ulaimed to a coroner’s jury any know]-, edge of who killed him. The jury blamed Neal Wirnmer, 18, of Roanoke, Va., who testified the sheriff shot and i wounded him in an argument over a I wrecked automobile, but said he did not know who killed Leonard. With the coroner’s verdict. Younce went to his home in Greensboro. ; Twenty-four hours later he returned here, asked that the coroner hold ano ther hearing and related that Leonard was killed as he grappled with him for possession of the gun after Wim mer was shot. The jury found Leonard’s death was caused by Younce and Brinkley and ! put each under $3 0,000 bond for the | grand jury. Brinkley denied any part in the ilaatfc. hot* admitted he, Younce and Leonard had been drinking together and said “whiskey was the underlying cause of all the trouble.” Attended Funeral. Yesterday Younce stood with bowed head as final rites were held for Leon ard, then went home and sent his res- j ignation to Governor Gai'dier who ac- 1 lepted it immediately. Wirnmer and E. F. Sullivan, of Pa latka, Fla., were ordered put under $2,0001 bond as witnesses by the cor oner’s jury. The two men were haul ing fruit from Virginia to Florida with a truck when they stopped and picked up Leonard, Younce and Brinkley af ter their automobile was wrecked near here early Friday. The sheriff charg- I ed the truck caused the wreck and the | argument which let! to the shooting of Wirnmer began. Sullivan testified he ran when the sheriff drew his gun and fiid not know how Leonard was killed.—The Raleigh Times. MANY FREE BEDS IN NEW DUKE HOSPITAL Durham. Feb. B.—An increase in the number of free beds available daily in the Duke hospital from 100 to 160 for patients from the Carolinas was announced today by Dean Wilburt C. Davison, of the Duke university school of medicine. The addition of 50 free beds daily to the number heretofore maintained is |to meet the stress of existing condi j tions, and to aid in the rehabilitation j of those who, because of being out of work or for other reasons incident tot the depression, are unable to pay fees' that might have been afforded in nor mal times. | “FAREWELL PLAYMATE” ! O playmate, of the far away, And dear delight of girlhood days. And friend and comrade true and tried. Through length of years of life be side, I bid you. thus a fond farewell, Too deep for words or tears to tell. But though I lose you, never more To greet you at the open door, To grasp your hand or see your smile; I shall be thankful all the while. Beside your love and loyalty, Have made a happier world for me. So rest, you. playmate, in that land Still hidden from us hv Tlis hand. Where you may know again in truth. Os all the glad days' of your youth. I As when days of endless ease, j We played beneath the old apple trees. Ella Price. BARSON AND BETTER TIMES Roger Babson is the outstanding! and most reliable predictor of the times. He says the worst is past, and he forecasts a gradual but sure improvement in present conditions. Usually where people play less, they work more; when they waste less, j they save more; when they spend lless, they have more; and, when they talk less they think more. All these signs of better times are in evidence.
