I / h'jiurur Some months ago a duly constituted com mit tee was created by Congress to investi gate indirect lobbying. Headed l>v Congress •man Frank Buchanan of I’ennsvlvannia, the committee worked diligently and without seeking publicity In due time, it got around to .sending, questionnaires to about 165 corporations, seeking certain information relative to the possibility that some of 1 hoii expenditures, “donations” or “contri butions" were influencing legislation and elect mns. Possibly the questions were irksome, hut a typical reactionary comes along with the following ad\ ic< “Our advice to them (the corporations) is to tear iip Mi Buchanan s questionairo and throw it into the most convenient waste paper basket.” ll an individual can be placed in jail for not telling what party he is affiliated with ami is held in contempt then it would ap pear that tin ad'-icc offered for the benefit oi powerful corporations e. a hit untimely and certninlv 'defiant ll could he just plain old mean eurositv, but it would be interesting, and possibly helpful and enlightening, to know who fi nanced the distribution in this slate of tens of thousands of pieces of literature of ques tionable orgm and m collision with the true facts tml ffh-i Just about every time monov is appropri at'd m this country tu help tin* economy in foreign nations, there are those who de tuand more work be done in those foreign lands bet the poor devils go to work," tlie\' sav.

There is a lot of hazy thinking over the country as to education. The mere fact Pat ;1 w»y OI gtr] manages to get a college diploma does not necessarily testify eon f.iusi\ el\ that their (‘ducation has 1 uvn a success || takes more Ilian dates, tacts, foimulae anti ligures to make an educated human being. There are men and women who have never been inside of a college, but who, nevertheless, are better educated than some of the young graduate: When you know what wi‘ mean by this, you are beginning to show signs ot education yourself.

If a candidate polls the largest number of vot* s and is still short | bf a majority, he has no complaint under our form of government to entering a sec ond primary. j It isn’t that we relish the smears of poli tics, but when Democracy’s way is clear, it is only right to follow that way. Onti'l Quit | By Ruth Taylor. There are times when doubt and dis couragement confront even ttie most val iant - when we seem up against a stone wall m which there is no gate. We see no way out of our immediate problems, and 1be.se swamp us - mentally and spirtuallv. Then is the time to stop and take stock of the situation. To look at things in their proper perspective, to see what in our own I thoughts is the stumbling block. It was Shakespeare who said “Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win bv fearing to attempt.” Long before him, Seneca had said "A great pilot ran sail even when bis sail is rent " To both men llie cure for defeat — for doubt and discouragement—was action. When those three enemies confront you think “What can 1 do!” Rut - “What can 1 j do?" There may not seem to be a way out - but there is always a way up. Pause and look up. Turn your thoughts to the eternities. Pray not for relief but for guidance. Still your j soul for a while. And then return to your ! problem. Consider it not as a stumbling block, hut as an opportunity - an opportunity for you to gain m strength in the solving. A dial lenge to use your God-given intelligence. It you tackle your difficulties in this man ner, you will he shown what to do. You will i be able - by first mastering yourself - to face the issue squarely and to make your owi+ decisions honestly and wisely. Be not afraid of the outcome. Your fear is of your own ability, not of outside circum stances. Have faith in yourself and go ahead. Don’t he afraid of doing too*much. It is bet* ! ter to wear out than to rust out. There is something you can do. Decide i what it is - and do it! “Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how dose you are. It mav he near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit - It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.” V/tnal in North Carolina Chrislian Science Monitor. The effects of sharpening the race issue are now being read in the reactions of an other southern state's voters. Reports from North Carolina say the N egro question played a decisive part in the run-off victory of Willis Smith over Senator Frank P. Gra ham in the Democratic primaries. The first primary results gave Dr. Graham a iPad of fill,000 votes. But in the run-ol'f Mr Smith won by 20,000. His victory strengthens the conservative wing of the Democratic Party and gives the Truinanites something to think about. Bltt it appears unlikely that a new conservative tide rose suddenly enough to account for the shift m North Carolina. In the first campaign. Dr. Graham sur mounted charges that he had been friendly with Communists. But before the second balloting the Surpreme Court rendered a decision barring segregation in the univer sities ot Texas and Oklahoma.Smith sup porters presented these as forerunners of or ders requiring the mixing of races in North Carolina's public schools and' claimed (de spite Ins denials) that Dr. Graham backed a policy of federal compulsion barring seg regation. He was unfairly tied up with the campaign for a compulsory FEPC. Political observers in Florida reported that a similar accentuation of the race issue was the chief factor in the defeat of Senator Pepper. Do these results mean that sharpen ing this issue will give additional seats to conservative Democrats and continue to weaken the Truman forces? If so, both sides ask where such a course leads. We believe conservatism has sounder longrange grounds, clearly sepera tiug itsell from race prejudice and injustice. We also believe genuine liberalism will find d wiser to emphasize education, clearly dis associating itself from coercion that takes no account of custom. Regimentation and totalitarianism have boon the red herrings in politics for quite somo time. 1 host* who have cried the loud est about regimentation claimed they were carrying out in the interest of the farmer. Well, there never was more regimentation than back in the early twenties and thirties when millions were forced into bread lines and other millions stood helplessly by while lite savings and homos were washed away in an economic debacle. No one stood up and cried about regimentation in those try ing times Rut everyone tries to do some thing to relieve such conditions, regimenta tion is charged.
