A Real Debt Then- ha.s beer, so much talk about the na tional debt and the condition of the budget that the people's debt has not received much atten tion in recent years. Late estimates show that the people owe two hundred billion dollars, or quite a sum compared with the thirtv-six and one-half billion owed by the government It is not the sire of the debt that should get us excited, for as long as the American people hold the right to work and share equally in the profits of their labor the debt can be paid If the farmer is deified a fair return on his pro duetion and the laborer is dt-nied a living wage, then there is reason to get exciU-d over debt, and the size of the debt makes little difference under those conditions The national debt or the dibts of the states, municipalities and individ uals can never be paid if a cruel economic sys tem ignores human rights and icduc?-s ? "he masses to poverty. There 15 indifference on the pai i of ,v me is lien it comes to recognizing an obligation But givt the masses a square deal, and they will deliver Republicans Eyeing Mr. Bailey Viewing their own field for a presidential candidate and finding it barren of all possibili ties, the republicans are eyeing such men as Mr Bailey, of North Carolina. Edward R Burke, of Nebraska, and Harry Byrd. of Virginia, for the job The records of these gentlemen lino them up with the republican group, and Mr. Bailey is going too far in his denunciation of the New Deal, the administration and everybody con nected with it that one can't help but believe that he is already campaigning for the republi can job Cinder A-mmralir Inniurt If Mr. Bailey is wise, he will watch the action of Senator Vandenburg The Michigan man. realizing there isn't a Chinaman's chance for a republican party candidate, states. "I shall not seek republican nomination or any other nest Oential nomination in 1940" In other words Senator Vandenburg would enter the race glad ly if he thought there would be a chance for him to win North Carolina democrats will gladly sur render Mr Badey to the republicans now or 1940 the sooner the better Return to Religion t krtihan St mi r Momtor In the face of jmvni iirnik throughout the ?? rid, materialistic brliefs. i: is well to listen to the call of those who urge a return to a tnier cuncept of Chris tianity. The call of the presidrnl ot, ihr Amrf nan As sociation for the .Advancement of Science for the he'n of religion'to " domesticate the wild beast in man." the recent protest of army chapLcns in Germany, the ap peal of the Archbishop of Canterbury in hngland ? these are not going to fall on entirely deafened ears. The fact is that, no matter bow pessimistic the out look, with churches reporting the falling off of at tendance, with many religious papers finding it hard to make both ends meet, with persecutions of rrl-goo ists in countries where such things have been un I noun for gnMrations?in spite of all these things, men in touch with current events know that the de sire (or true knowledge, for the understanding of right government, and for the solution of some way of liv ing which will lead out oi darkness, has never been more insistent. Newspapers and magazines are more willing tha never before to lake articles on religiou -rarchings. From unexpected places come signs of a great mental awakening. Why. with more education, with more resources for their edification and enjoyment, cannot men settle down to making their lives more happy than ever be lorer It is as-if children before some well-laden Christ mas tree were to start disputing over some trifling dif ieience in their toys, forgetting all the beauty with which the tree was filled Walter Lqipmann in a recent article put the matter with clarity. He said: When the progressive minority in western Kurope and America broadcast civilization to alt the quarters of the globe, and. by universal education, forced it down 'trough all ranks of society, they little realized that the first effect of this progress must he to startle these masses of men out of their ancient lethargy, to destroy the customs which had held them quiet, to hring them forward not as grateful receivers of bless ings provided, but as active, clamoruus. contentious men insisting upon their own notions of their own just deserts That most explosive ui all forces, thought, is work ine in ;mi ina*srs in humanity fiilbnto utiawaken ed We have reached the |ieriod when the traditional restraints are l?emp scrapped New freedom and new |?iwer in unaicustomed hands is turned often to mere ly matrrial end*. Vet ethical wants are dimly jierceiv ed. spiritual satisfactions gropingly sought The great thinkers of the ages have faced what the world is now facing, faced it as individual*, and have found the answer. Nothing but the utmost patience, the utmost un-a-lfishness will suffice now in the teach ers who are to (mint the way. The way of true Chris tianity. the way of meekness and might, offers man kind its create*! bo|ir for meeting the new demand* of a confu*ed world You Guessed Right the Very First Time News and Observer On Friday the News and Observer noted that Senator Bailey had begun quoting old speeches in his nagging at the New Deal and the Presi dent whose program it is. To Mr Bailey's col lection of speeches recalled, it added what seem ed to it to be a choice item made by a man talk mg -mtu the microphone at the Democratic Na- - t.onal Convention in Philadelphia in the cam paign summer of the election year of 1936 He said. Mr Chairman: Gatefullv North Carolina sec onds the nomination of the candidate without a rival before this convention, without peer in the public service or the hearts of the Ameri: can people, their voice and their idol, the Presi dent and President-to-be We hail him as the political redeemer of the American republic, the vindicator of the rights of the voiceless millions, the restorer of the na tional faith and the national unity in that faith, the preser\er of democracy and free institution in our land in a period when they were failing throughout the earth, the man who proved him self the mar. for America in her darkest hour, the man by every test for her millions as thev emerge from the pit and the night once again, thanks to his mighty leadership, and proceed to u gain the way to their happy destiny. We love him for his manifest sympathy with the people ho serves and leads, for his inspired statecraft in grappling with problems and over coming difficulties and perplexities that threat ened to engulf our Nation: and we love him al so for the enema's he has made. We gree t their challenge with a gheer, we welcome llie hour when we may run before him to meet them hand to hand in his behalf, as he has met them day by day for three great v? ars We are confident in the triumph of our cause. . ssured m the power of its nghteouNiRss. in rpired by his, matchless example, and honored by the knowledge that .we have the privilege of sharing with lam tiie highest patriotism and the noblest service, in doing all that in our power 1k-s to re-elect as President Franklin Roose velt. There's no use in keeping our readers in sus pense any longer if any of them ever were in suspense Most of them guessed right the very l'rst time. Senator Josiah William Bailey made that speech when he was running for re-elec tion to the U. S. Senate on the ticket headed by Franklin D Roosevelt and on a platform shap ed in the terms of the New Deal.
