i\o Dit.rf Flying Yet
Spring, by the calendar at least, has arriv
ed. but no dust has drifted down this way
from Washington as a result of the great,
big clean-up promised by lean Republicans
last fall.
It would seem the Republicans are so
confused that they can’t figure where to
start—whether to go out to Kansas and
bathe their national chairman, Mr. C. Wes
ley Roberts, or kick up a bit of dust in and
around Washington.
Back yonder the newspaper columns of
the Old Guard press were bulging with
spite gossip about the chairman ot the De
mocratic National Committee accepting a
fee for service rendered. When the Repub
licans got through working that case over,
the charge sounded more serious than mur
der from ambush. Now, Mr. Roberts, it is
occasionally mentioned, received a fee ten
times larger for selling a hospital belong
ing to the people back to the people of
Kansas The folks in Kansas are mad about
Tit. but Washington, entertaining the theory
- that the king can do no wrong, is overlook
ing it.
Z Until Republican Washington does some
Zthing about that and a few other question
~ able acts, one can only reason that th^ Re
* publicans are clearing the Democrats’ dirt
•from under the rug merely to make room
** for their own dirt.

Make ITny For Politics
During his short stay in India. Ambassa
dor Chester Bowies did more and accom
plished more than possibly any other am
bassador in years. India liked him, approv
ed of his simple way of life and placed a
high value on his understanding and spirit
of helpfulness. His friendliness literally
captured the people.
Republicans in this country admitted that
he had accomplished more single-handedly
than any other in wooing India from Com
munism to Americanism.
India appealed for his continuance there,
pointing out that Mr. Bowles had aecwrt
plished much and could accomplish still
more. But Mr. Bowles was appointed by
Mr. Truman, and Mr. Truman’s appointees,
good, bad or indifferent, must make >vgy for
Republican politics even if the change Jb not
good for the United States and the world
It’s just another instance where politics
'come before country, and t|us time the Re
publicans must answer for the disheartening
practice.
Various Rights
Senator Clyde R. Hoty never misses a
chance to put in a plug for his old bosses
Jiback home. He picks out and has inserted
• in the Congressional Record every little
~item favoring the big fellows, but nevet has
*he inserted anything favoring the little fei
J,low.
* Mr. lioey is in strict accord with a piece
Sin a Burlington paper relating to “The Right
♦To Work.”
♦ It has been the rule in too many cases
^that those who champion the right of a man
^to work are the ones who would deny a man
;ufthe right to a living wage.
~2 Mr. Hoey would give the poor devil the
fright to work and go a little bit farther and
^rgive him the right to starve.

What 1* \tntr Chrintiatrity Worth?
--
By Ruth Taylor
As we approach another Easter season,
we are face to face with the great problem
of all ages what is our Christianity worth?
What has it done to improve our way of
life? What have we done to express it in
the terms—the only terms which we can use
—ol service to others9
To those of ns to whom our religion is, a
vital force, Christianity spells obligation? it
is not just a ritual. The ritual is merely
the expression and the reminder of the prin
ciple back of it. The Christian way of life
is the way of love the way oi brotherhood.
A person has only as much Christianity as
he has love, and no more, I lead once, arid
it is true.
The soul knows no race .or creed or color.
“Thou shalt love thy God with all thy
heart" was the first great commandment,
and Jesus added: “And the second is like
unto it—Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself." On God’s side all men are brothers.
This is the basis of Christianity. 'We know
it. We are taught it as children, no matter
to which church we went, but too often we
have kept it a Sunday-creed—not a rule of
life. We did not apply it to our neighbor,
to the stranger within our gates, to those
who worshipped or thought or spoke in dif
ferent manner thun did we.
If we had ever tried Christianity as a
way of life, there would be no poverty, no
insecurity, no despondent and despairing
people. Ours was the task, ours tne re
sponsibility if we wished to be classed as
Christians.
What is your Christianity worth?
Unless it is put to practical application
in your daily life, it is not worth anything.
We are a Christian nation and it is our task
to live up to all that that implies. Only by
practising brotherhood, as individuals and
as a nation, can we make democracy suc
ceed and bring to reign on earth the peace
of the King of Kings.
Look IF ho'* Talking
Returning from an 18,000-mile flying trip
all over South America, J. S .Nridwell, oil
man, rancher and apparently a Texas big
shot, declared he was alarmed about the
way resources in this country are diminish
ing while those down the way are practical
ly untouched.
“We may be down there (Sdlith America)
on our knees begging those countries for
help, in time, the Wichita Falls businessman
was quoted as saying.
He did not mention it, but Texas to almdst
a man, is trying tb rob the United States
out of off-shore oil and turn it over to the
exploiters. We never thought we’d hear a
a man from Texas talk like that.
j Now that close connection has been estab
l Ushed between New York gangsters and the
l two dug race tracks in North Carolina, the
j real ill effects of the nefarvws business are
gradually working to the surface.
The action of the legislature in listening
to the local politicians and legalizing gamb
ling caused much concern at the time. Now
that this State stands charged with cooper
ating With the riff-raff gamblers in the big
cities, respect for our own legislature and
the legislators tumbles to a new low.
If there are any fortudinal guts in the
being of-those now in the legislature they’ll
act to wipe out the blot smeared on North
Carolina by a thoughtless group a few
i years hgo.
60 Second Sermons
By Fred Dodge
TJ5XT: “Count what is in a man, not
what is on him.”—Henry Ward
Beecher.
Two boys planned to trick Charles Dar
win. They took the body of a centipede, the
wings of a butterfly, the legs of a grasshop
per and the head Of a beetle and glued them
together to form a weird monster. With this
creature In a box they visited Darwin.
“Please, sir," they asked, “Will you tell
us what sort of a bug this is?”
The naturalist gave a quick glance at the
exhibit and a long look at the boys.
“Did It hum?" he asked solemnly.
“Oh, yes, sir,” the boys answered.
"Then,” said barwin quietly, “It’s a hum
bug.”
* * •
That buf appeared ridiculous to the great
naturalist, but no more ridiculous than some
of us appear. Every day men and women
glue mental wings, heads and legs on them
selves in an effort to fool folks. We dress,
walk, talk end Htt to impress others. It
doesn’t take an expert to expose our fraud.
We Idol only ourselves. Deep friendship
and great respect are earned by what we
are, not by what we pretend to be The
World is htihgry to meet folks who are
worth knowing for what is in them, not
for what is on them.
