DISCUSSION . .. . WBlgSraj
' in tne past three weeks I have talk
ed with literally hundreds of the best
informed men in the country. They
are the publishers and responsible ed
itors of the nation's leading newspapers.
Each of them told me the same story.
Prom Coast to Coast, the everyday
people are discussing the nation's pol
itical, economic and social affairs with
a degree of freedom that has not been
noticeable for more than two years.
"The panic is over,' said one. "The
blind fear of ruin has passed, and with
it has passed the willingness to fol
low anybody who promised to lead
them out of trouble."
The American people are still in
trouble, but they are discussing the
way out with clearer eyes and a bet
ter understanding, not only of the
causes of their troubles but of the val
idity of the various plans offered to
alleviate them.
To my mind that is the most hopeful
sign of the times. America is coming
back to its own when its people begin
to do their own political thinking.

POLITICS . . the battleground
Anyone who wants to change condi
tions which affect any material num

politically or he won't get to first base.
That is the American method. If he

THE OfBLE CALLS HER GREAT
(
Ask a dozen Bible students, "Who is the one woman whom the Bible calls
great?" and even they would likely give a wide variety of answers. Was it
Pharaoh's daughter, whose wit and courage saved the life of Moses? Was it the
mighty Queen of Sheba, ruler of an empire? Was it the mother of Solomon,
who made him king, or the mother of John the Baptist, who consecrated him to
his splendid mission? None of these; none'of the women of royal birth; none
whose close relation to kings or apostles made their names famous for deeds
of public renown. Quite a different sort of woman altogether. Let us look a
moment at the picture of her which is -given in the fourth chapter of Second
Kings.
First of all, she was domestic, a home-maker, living not in the city but in
one of the northern villages. Her husband was a farmer, which meant that
he had his house on the edge of town, as was the custom then. A main road
ran near by, and important people used it. Solomon, too, appears to have
traveled there in his time.
The ' great woman" had executive ability." In the early days of her married
life she had no childrein, and that fact shadowed her life, but she did koV coin
plain. The narrative distinctly implies that she accepted the situation and
made the best of it, giving herself to such activities as lightened the load of
her husband. She was religious, and she was hospitable. To these last two
characteristic she owed the frienship that brought her the happiness which
she desired above all else, and won for her the place of honor in the Bible
records.
And it fell on a day,- that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a
great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was,
that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is
an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.
Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set
for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it
shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
As to what happened afterward, the fulfillment of her long desire for a son,
the growth of the boy, his illness, and his miraculous recovery at the hand of
the prophet Elisha? all these are written in the next thirty verses of the chapter.
She was just a small-town woman who loved her husband and wanted
motherhood more than anything else in the world, and baked good bread and
kept a clean guest room. The Bible does not tell us her name, but of all the
women whose biographies it records it speaks of her alone as "great".
cates; if he hasn't the votes his hands
are tied.
That is why Upton Sinclair and Fa
ther Coughlin and Huey Long cut such
an important figure in present-day
discussions of public affairs. Each of
them has a considerable body of po
tential votes behind him. Upton Sin
clair had more than 800,000 votes back
of his EPIC scheme in California; no
body can guess how many Father
Coughlin or Senator Long might con
trol, if it came to a showdown.
The principal question raised in po
litical discussions today is whether
or not there will be a third party tick
et in the field in 1936, led by one of the
gentlemen just named or some other
Radical. If such a third party is
launched it will draw votes from among
those who otherwise would naturally
support Mr. Roosevelt. He will cer
tainly be renominated, if he lives, but
has he such a solid block of Demo
cratic partisans behind him that h?
can win if the Radical fringe is trim
med off? f Enough
offset the ^^^JP^^orTvotes, which the
?^ii0F?"~8f~t934 demonstrated, stick
to the Republican party through thick
and thin?
? ? ?
PARTIES .... two or three
Until the present administration in
Washington, the main difference be
tween the Republican and Democratic
parties was tftat one was in the seat
of power and the other was out. A
man could be a good Republican and
accept the Democratic platform of
1932, and vice-versa. The vote that
elected Mr. Roosevelt was not so much
pro-Democratic as it was a vote for
change.
The acts and policies of the Admin
istration in the past two years have
made a real difference between the two
great parties. The Democrats, throw
ing their platform overboard, embark r
ed on policies which sharply differen
tiate them from Republicans, thus put
ting the Republican party definitely
on the Conservative side of the politi
cal fence.
The real political issue of 1936, there
fore, seems likely to be between a dis
tinctly Conservative party and a party
which, if not definitely Radical, is at
least tinged strongly with Radicalism.
If the Republicans try to introdyce
Radical ideas, they will again be in
distinguishable from the Democrats.
If the Democrats swing too far toward
Radicalism they will lose great blocks
of their Conservative voters; but if
they do not, they are threatened by a
Radical third-party movement.
DEFINITIONS . . three CImks
What, precisely, do we mean by such
terms as Conservative, Liberal and
Radical?
A Conservative Is, I think, a person
who has become adjusted to his en
vironment, whatever that may be, and
who is able, therefore, to take a de
tached view of the world and its peo
ple. Such a person is opposed to hasty
change and improved experiments.
A Radical, on the other hand, is one
who is finding trouble in fitting him
self into the social picture, and wants
to change the whole system, in the' be
lief that his troubles and those at his
fellows are due to faulty organization
of society.
A Liberal, in the true definition of
the word, is one who is tolerant of all
beliefs and of all minorities and es
pecially of the rights of the individual
man. He would neither suppress those
who disagree with him nor exalt
unduly any class or clique. J know
many Conservatives who are also lib
erals; I cannot imagine a Radical be
ing a Liberal.
? ? ?
OUTLOOK . . . real hone race
i My belief is that there are more Coin
servatives among those who voted the
Democratic ticket in 1932 than anybody
imagines. I believe, also, that there is
a much stronger element of Liberals
in the irreducible minimum of 13%
million Republicans than is generally
thought.
I think that the ultimate aim of all
political parties and groups is the same
? to find ways to accomplish the great
est good for the greatest number of
people. The only real differences of
opinion concern, not the objectives, but
the way of reaching them.
I think those differences of opinion
as to ways and means are becoming
more pronounced and being more free
ly expressed.
"It is differences of opinion that
make horse-races," said Mark Twain.
It begins to look to me as if we would
have a real horserace in 1936.

Sermons
By Rev. J. B. Currin
THE DARING OF JESUS
After His baptism when He had been
preaching in other places Jesus re
turned to Nazerath where He had lived
as a boy and where He had worked in
the carpenter shop. Just as He had
been accustomed to do before He went
on the Sabbath to the Synagogue and
read the Scripture lesson.
In His address to the people that
day He told them He was the fulfill
ment of the prophesy He had just read
to them. They would. He said, tell
Him to do the same things there thpt
they had heard of His doing in Cap
ernaum. But He also told them that,
"No prophet is accepted in his own
country." He told them there were
many widows in the time of Elijah, but
he was sent to only one, and there
were many lepers in the time of Naa
man the Syrian but he only was made
clean. No doubt His meaning was that
of all people He was the fulfillment of
that prophecy.
This made the people so mad that
they rose up and thrust Him out of
the city Intending to hurl Him down
from the brow of the hill on which
the city was built.
This leads us to a consideration of
His daring. He dared to face the fact
that He had a divine mission in the
world. He was not a product of chance.
He was not here to take life easy with
no clear cut purpose and impelling
motive.
He dared to undertake this task. It
was a most difficult one. Prom a nat
ural viewpoint He was not prepared
and equipped. He was not a graduate
from a leading university? He had no
high social position and He had not
an eleborate organization.
One thing especially brought out in
the visit mentioned above is His dar
ing to tell the people who and what He
was. He dared to tell them that their
future destiny depended on their re
lation to Him. He says, "I am the
bread of life. . I am the good shep
herd. . . The ,good shepherd giveth
his life for th? sheep . .Without me
ye can do nothing."
How different is this from the at
titude of those who will not accept the
fact that they are in the world for
any serious and worth-while purpose.
They are afraid of the remark, "He
takes hlmstflf seriously."
We would not close our remarks
mentioning the fact that He dared
to work* suffer; and even die fat the
accomplishment of His purpose to life.

Stale Will Get
lis Full Share
Senator Bailey Believes State
Will Receive 100 Mil
lions Of Relief Fund
BY ROBERT E. WILLIAMS
Washington, May 8 ? "I believe that
when it is all added up, North Caro
lina will get about one hundred mil
lion dollars, which is its share on a
population basis of the four-billion-dol
lar work relief appropriation." declared
Senator Josiah W. Bailey today after
an informal conference with Prank C.
Walker, director of the National Emer
gency Council.
Senator Bailey was accompanied at
the conference by Robert M. Oantt, of
Durham, state director of the Emer
gency Council, and C. L. Shuplng of
Greensboro, North Carolina member
of the national Democratic committee.
Back to State
Mr. Gantt returned to North Car
olina today, instructed to" do every
thing in his power to speed up North
Carolina applications under the gi
pects have lagged behind those of the
gantic program, which in some res*
other states. The Durham man will
not handle any of the applications
directly, but will co-ordinate the of
forts of the other federal agencies with
those of purely state agencies.
"Expedition is the heart of the pro
gram, as it is proposed to do it all in
15 months," said Senator Bailey, "and
I really believe that the end of direct
federal relief is now definitely in sight
and all of those on relief who are em
ployable will be put to work and the
unemployables will be turned back to
the state and the communities."
state rrojects
Senator Bailey said that the proj
ects to be pressed by North Carolina
include the Great Smoky Mountain
parkway, which has been delayed so
far by failure of North Carolina and
Virginia to acquire and present to the
federal government the necessary rights
of way. Grade crossing projects, sub- (
sistence homestead projects, all of
these were also discussed with Mr.
Walker.
"One element will be the projects of
counties and cities and they should be
presented immediately," said Senator
Bailey.

A Stabilizing
Influence
Life Insurance is regarded by the
average person solely as an Individual
contract between him and his insur
ance company, whereby the company
agrees to make certain sums available
at a specified time in consideration of
fixed premiums. However, the five years
of depression through which the coun
try has passed have concentrated pub
lic attention upon life insurance as
one of the greatest economic stabili
zers among the nation's assets.
Black headlines chronicle, from time
to time, the enormous amounts being
paid out by the government for the re
lief of the unemployed. But the fact
that more than thirteen billions of
dollars were paid by the life insurance
companies to policyholders and bene
ficiaries in the United States between
1929 and 1934 goes practically unnoted.
These payments, averaging about $2,
700,000,000 a year, were equal to about
one-tenth of all wages paid in the
nation, and were several times greater
than the total of all government re
lief expenditures for the period. In
the lush years there were those who
were inclined to look lightly upon the
conservative investment policy of in
surance companies. But this conserva
tive policy was responsible for the al
most unbelievably excellent perfor
mance of the insurance business throu
out the depression. Once more, as in
numerous preceding national depres
sions, the life insurance companies
have demonstrated that they are wor
thy custodians of the people's money.
In the face of the nationwide suf
Ifering that accompanies unemploy
ment, the message of Life Insurance
Week comes this year with peculiar
force:
"The sooner you plan your future,
the better your future will be."
And about the time you think youll
die if you dcmt get a full night's sleep
is "about the time that you ought to
think whether we're not filling pur
children's lives too full too ? with danc
ing lessons, music lessons, parties and
the Kindreds of things we expect
them to do. They'll leam a gciod deal
