O uiy soul, mid forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases: who redeemeth thy life from destruction.—Psalm 103:2-4. EDWIN BERG DOLL THE BETTER OFT’. ' Next week Edwin R. Bergdoll, one of the two brothers who gained niticb noto riety because of their efforts to dodge the draft, will be set free from Leaven- ( worth prison, where he will have serv- f ed two years and ten months on a four v year sentence for failure to perform mil- 1 itary service. The sentence was for four s years, but this is reduced for good be- * havior. Officers of the prison point out that Bergdoll will leave Leavenworth a free man. No complaints or charges are d pending against him, and he will be his s own man when he steps from the prison t gate. >< He is much better off than his brother Grover Cleveland Bergdoll. who will nev er be able to return to his native land without befhg hunted down by govern ment agents. Grover C. escaped from the military authorities while awaiting trial and for the past several years has been living with the Gei'mans. the peo ple he refused to fight against. But he is still an outlaw, while Ed win will be a free man next week. It is true that the latter has had to re main in prison and his life has not been as easy as that of the former, but at present he is the better off of the two. Grover C. may like life in Germany all right, but we know there are many times when he would like to be back in the United States, and he cannot eonie buck, unless under the cover of darkness, and then he would be here only a short time before some eagle-eye of the government would arrest him. The two men committed serious of fenses against the government of the United States, and though Edwin fought a prison sentence with every weapon at his command, he has ■ now and is at liberty to go where he pleases. v A SERIOUS QUESTION. In making public the homicide statis tics for 1922 which show a slaying rate in 28 of the largest cities in the United States of nine per 100.000 population. The Spectator, an insurance periodical, renews tlie suggestion that drastic fed erad legislation for the control of fire arms is the remedy to check the steadily growing homicide rate. The record since 1000. says The Spec tator. reflects an attitude of lawlessness and indifference to human life without parallel in the history of mankind. The outstanding facts of America’s record are: First, the excessive proportion of crim inals who go unpunished, or who fail to get punishment proportional to their of fenses. Second, the large majority of murders committed by shooting, us the result of ;the ease with which revolvers and am munition can be secured even where the law prohibits their sale. It may become necessary to control fire arm sale and trade by federal legisla tion. but it would be much better if the situation could be handled by the states. This is impossible, however, under pres ent federifl lawK In North Carolina, we believe, it is agaiifet the law to sell small firearms. But about thV only effect the law seems to hnve is that it prevents lo cal .merchants from selling them. Any eitiiejaf of \fhe otfcW niay easily buy any kind of a pistol, either from an individ ual who trades for and sells pistols or from some outside manufacturer or dealer. On account of the interstate commerce law. we understand, the state can not prevent pistole from being ship ped into the state. The law in.this State furthsr provides that before a person .can purchase a pis tol' he must secure a permit from the Clerk of Superior Court, it being sup posed that the clerk will know who is the kind of a citiaep that will make proper use of the gun. But this part of the law is more or less of a flfrce. Not that the clerks do not perform their part of the law, but rather that no one goes to them. Most of the pistols are ordered from out of the State and the clerk of court or no one else but the purchaser and the seller kuow anything about the sale. The question is a serious one. all right, and deserves serious consideration. KENTUCKY WOMAN POLITICAL LEADER A Woman is Secretary of Executive Com mittee of Kentucky. Louisville. K>\, June 20.—An im portant departure from Southern poli tical traditions and a tribute, to the growing significance of woman’s work in polities, are indieated in the appoint ment of Mrs. Lillian G. Davis, of-this city, to the post of secretary of the Re publican State central and executive committee of Kentucky. Mrs. Davis succeeds Lilburn Phelps, one of the leading lawyers of the State, who re signed to become assistant attorney general of Kentucky. As secretary of the State committee. Mrs. Davis will have an important part in the coming gubernatorial campaign. She will be executive director of the entire Republican State organization and have charge of the Sate headquar ters. ■ This post has been equal in im portance to that of the State campaign .chairman, and a laVge part of the re sponsibility of electing a candidate rests upon it. Mrs. Davis won her elevation to the secretaryship through close study of political conditions in the State gained by a year-around connection pith the Republican State organization during the last five years. Her appoint meut has met with expressions of approval of Republican men and women alike throughout the State.

Says Wealth No Longer Serves to Prove Success. St. Louis. June 19. —The possession of wealth no longer constitutes the only ba rometer of success; the service ideal is gradually gaining ground. This was the keynote of a message to the convention of International Rotary here today from Paul IV Harris, founder of Rotary and President Emeritus of Rotary Internat ional. "The time when rich men are the big men is passing." said the message." Greatness in future wilt depend not up on::What one has been bble. to get, but rather on what one has been able to give. "Opportunity to urge upon the busi ness world the importance of adopting service as tlie basis of all professions and trades, is distinctly Rotary's. Rotary's peculiar formation, one representative of | each profession and epcli line of trade, i makes it pre-eminently the best organi zation with which to effect (lid purpose. It is a large order. "The advent of Rotary marked an era I 'when the long suppressed yearnings of | business' Yuen for opportunity to share ii: i sffirirual leadership began to find reali-> ration. It has been a period of jypuder- j fill progress because business men have ; made idealism practicable. “No worthy object can be gained with out effort and the more seriously we view our undertaking, the more certain our ac complishment.’’ Camphor Ceremonies.

The Rev. Robert Gibson'of New York, head of the national publicity depart ment of the Episcopal church of the Unit ed States, speaking in Omaha recently, said lie was a firm believer in paid church advertising. "1 regard the newspaper as a distinct ive evangelistic medium,'’ he said. "All the Christian Soat'hing sorin' people re ceive is through" 1 the newspapers. The church should print its own propaganda and pay for it. My opinion is that there should he no connection between church news and church advertisements. A newspaper should print church news if it is news and purely oil the basis of news and a church should advertise be cause advertising pays. "It is the policy of the publicity de partment of the Episcopal Church to send out through-its news bureau only actual news and for that reason our stuff is widely used. We are advocating ad vertising by parishes. All over the Unit ed States the use of newspaper advertis ing by churches is growing.” Chemical Industries will be held in New York City during the week of Sep- TIIOUGHT 3 LITTLE CHILDREN NEEDED MOTHER’S CARE "My stomach suffering was so severe tiiat 1 could not have lasted much long er.

You’re not bpm. with n silver Simon in yohr mouth— that's sure!” _Tbe mother hugged her! little one to her broastv anj), wished that: the child had been .born to wealth ands high position. Vnin | wish! Poverty, humble life, hard work, are three of the greatest blessings that come to men. One has only to hiok_nbout. or to read the newspapers to see how true that is. Once‘upon a time there was a woman named Elizabeth, ijho belonged to n rare of half-barbarous people known as (Rumanians. She and her-peop'e lived in Hungary, where heir ancestors had come many years before, os strange in vaders from the mysterious east. Eliza beth. the Cumanian woman, dike so many other women, wished her son to have rank and wealth ‘and power. Al most ns it happens in the fairy stories. Elizabeth became the wifq.of thf King of Hungary. She became ft ; Christian, while her people remained heatheu. She left 'the roughen life of the Ugrie hordes, and went to live in a palnce. There, then in a palace her son was born, surrounded by all that the mother cblild wish so far as money is con verned. little Lndislaus, however, was not surrquuded by safety nor happiness. Elizabeth qujte prided herself when siie showed her child to the Cumanian lead ers who came to visit her. She felt she had risen far above theme and all like them. Her husband, the king, (tied, and then trouble began. — "Shall we let a Cumanian hoy be our king'?” men asked. "Are there not Hungarians in Hungary'?” One morning Elizabeth found her boy's bed empty! Those who were airfhitious for their own sous had stolen him 1 The fiery-hearted mother sent men to find the boy. then only a child of ten. Fortunately for her they succeeded. Then for somtC years she guarded him as an eagle gunrds its young. All day long her eyes were on her son. She kept a body of\the most trusted men about him. She devoted her self to his care, snved him from a thousand dangers, both in pence and in war. am! made men fear her and her power. She could not make them, love her nor her son. Elizabeth succeeded in her dream and made Ladklaus King of Hungary —to what effect? He was as sassinated in early manhood, and nil was over. Happy indeed is the enjld that is born in a humble home.
