Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of. Benjamin Franklin THE SAME OLD MORTAL SIN . By: RALPH W. GW1NN The 8th Chapter of First Samuel tells how the people of Israel wearied of personal responsibility and freedom. They said, "Make us a king to Judge us like all the nations." And they put their trust in foreign, heathen deceivers who made their controls seem better than self-government under God's moral law. In Dr. Melchior Palyi's new book, "Compulsory Medical Care and The Weilare State," is a study of how modern nations have been similarly deceived. It was Bismarck who introduced worship of the new golden calf governmental old-age secu rity, medical care -and hospitalization. The German bureau crats took the money from the people to build up the power ' of the Kaiser. Then they 'failed to give the care they promised. - The same device was used to build up power by Lloyd George in Britain, Franz Joseph in Austro-Hungary and Ad miral Horty in Hungary; King Alexander and Tito in Jugo slavia; by the Czar, Lenin and Stalin in Russia; Vargas', would-be-dictator in Brazil; blazar, dictator in Bulgaria; Mussolini, Hitler, Franco and,Peronf King Carol of Rumania; Dimitrov in Bulgaria; and Gotiwald in Czechoslovakia. These are the modem liealUi kings wno promise to help the people. New or old, the promise of the tempters is the same: "Give us your money and we will manage everything." And the modern ones added: "You will have more doctors and nurses, hospitals and. drugs to meet every need." . ' paiyi shows the gross degeneration of the art of healing . " tiiat sets in under compulsory btate. uerman pnysicians inougni wey wumu navy uunv -.ur come, more professional opportunity, more "chance for ad- "' vanced study -- Just what young doctors in our country are "promised today. This was dream planning. There was no way' ' to get it The Dumber of German patients for free treatment mounted. The State retaliated, as it always does by reducing the doctors' compensation. Some of the doctors organized a union, and strikes, lockouts and boycotts followed. The Gov ernment set wages, quotas of eligibility, and the right to enter the profession. 'The system has led to the unprecedented proletariani zation of the German profession," says PalyL "Even under the stable monetary conditions of the late 1920's a doctor was paid, for consultation less than one-half of what a barber'recelved for a haircut" - ".-.- ."' Z " The same thing is now hapening in Britain,? Every 'aetftal ' operation is timed to the minute and dentists are paid a stan- ' ' daxd fee for each. By these mass production techniques, dent ists reaped a temporary harvest, hut the Minister of Health has caught up with the bureaucrats' miscalculations, and arbl- ' trary cuts in earnings have been ordered. k' ' .' This is the story pf compulsory social security, socialized ,, housing, health insurance and compulsory medicine -every- " where. The "strong men" who promised the Hebrew people "to fight their battles" actually took from them freedom and" self-government In the time of Samuel as co-called "strong . men' have-done ever since, and are doing now. America stands today in the same place as the Israelites a thousand years be " for Christ The question is: Will we fight the sin within our- selves? Will we hold to the faith of our forefathers, who set up the constitutional Republic?

Lllk Using Your Bible Lesson for October 15, ISM t ' THE BTBLK must be approached in three ways: with the. head,, with the heart and with the will. With the head for understanding, the heart for appreciation and rever ence, and the .will for obedience. That was the first question Philip asked the Ethio pian: Do you un derstand what you are reading? Not do you enjoy it, or do ' you . believe it but do you under stand it? If , not then the reader can neither fully believe nor rightly Dr. Foreman enjoy it 'The King James Version - THE BEST and simplest help tn understanding the Bible is to read it in' the language we speak. Now unfortunately it was not writ ten in that tongue, but in Hebrew and Greek. We have- to read It in translations. There are scores of translations in English alone. O, The most widely sold ' of these is .the ' one ' known by various names: the King - James, or . the Authorized, ' or the 1611, version. This was first published " in 1611, being essentially a revision of. the Bishop's Bible, a still earlier trans lation. The name 'Authorized" la mlsleadlng.i however, for it never was authorized by church or state, tt isa noble example of 17th cen tury English and has had or Wide Influence wherever English-speaking people have gone , 1 -The fact Is, however, that people today do not speak 17th century English any more, and very few of us even, read- B.' Conseqaently the -Bible, in this King James version, has a . quaint i Shakespearlaa -soand, and the difficulty eT median-1 'guage is one of the mala rea sons why the average aaert v eaa today finds M hard to edv ; ' Furthermore, the King James is inaccurate in many places.- At the time it .was published, , the translators were ' working from Greek manuscripts which- ara.JMW known not to -be either the earliest or the besY avafiable. For these reasons, fresh translations ofthe Bible were greatly needed.',Jf. "1- . " r 20th Century Translations.. '., THESE modern-English transla tions .-iimy--bKf!ufi changed the Book; thQlfsue simply helping the reader to get back to the ideas of the original apostles and prophets; they are putting the Bible again into the language people ac tually speak. J. f, Some of the more Important ver sions may be noted here. Practical ly all the churches of Protestant North America have been co-operating through the , International Council of Religious Education, in producing what is called the "Re vised' Standard Version" of which the New Testament is already Out, and very popular too. The whole Bible In this version Is due to be off the press by September 1951 This Is an excellent version , . for church or lUnrgleal use, aa It keeps elose to the King James ; rhythm wherever . tt ' can; for . - the 'King James version, whaK ever its faults, has a rhythm abont parts of tt (notably the Psalms) which- har never been . surpassed. - Two other translations have been before the public, and have won many friends, tor a score of years now: Moffat's, and the American Translation by Goodspeed, J.M.P. Smith and others. (This latter in cludes the Apocrypha, to which most Protestants .are strangers). At One Sitting V -I THETaverage reader, used to tak ing his Bible in snippets of a verse or two, or a chapter at most, at one time, win find that he can alt down with one of these modern translations and Just read on and on, 'fascinated by - the book he has discovered for the first time. . . One .of the "hardest" 'yet ' most Important parts of : the -Bible, for ' Jnstanee,' la the , Epistles seetlon of the New Testament, Every one of these "epistles Is a short letter, but how few persons ever read one -straight through! Let the read-' er who is puraled by the Epistles get a copy of "Letters to Young Chorehes, a translation by J. B. : ' Phillips,, and he wDl find that .dark part of the New Testament -simply opening np and shining,' The work of translating will go on end on as long as language keeps changing; let us thank God for an those who fin our time have been making the Word of God again an open book (or all-men.

Oct 8. Techni cally, the congressional district mh lies are being held to promote peace and harmony within the Democratic party and. to inspire party members to foil up a record Democratic vote in the November 7' election...''; ;.;v'r ':Xf:: .- ' State leaders and officeholders are Journeying over the state for these sessions, and are putting their arms' around each other to sing tf party harmony . for , public consumption,- at -least. But back , of the scenes -- In smoke-filled rooms and on wind swept corners the boys are try ing to get their ducks inT row for a conservative-liberal fight that will get into full swing the day after election, Nov. 8. , , , , Some of 'the maneuvering,4 in fact, makes you wonder If they really know there is a general el ection coming-up in less than a month.4 Out of the first week's tour - with big rallies at Sylva, Marion and Morganton - - comes an indica tion that the conservatives axa get ting Jumpy. The public touting- of Bill Umstead of Durham as "the next governor" is an Indication of this. The first mention of Umstead in this vein came after an Indica tion at Sylva that Governor Scott, titular head of the party and leader of the liberals, is gaining in popu larity. The tossing of tTmstead's name in the gubernatorial pot was done by Monroe Redden, 12th district congressman, at Sylva. Redden was introduced by Umstead -.- for no apparent reason. The reason show ed up when Redden began to talk. 1 He tailed Umstead the next gover nor, and pledged his support The heaving of Umstead'a hat in the ring caused some raised eye brows. Although the Durham man has been repeatedly mentioned as a conservative entry,' It's a long time until the race starts for the next governor. Some folks remem bered Charlie Johnson's failure being attributed to too early a start Some folks Wondered if Umstead wasn't being thrown to the wolves; others thought his backers were trying to sound out opinion as to the strength of the old east-West tradition (Umstead being a defi nite, eastern man); and some folks were wondering how. the conserva tives' would counteract their 'own claims last spring that Umstead had Jailed to run against Graham because, of a ."deal" wti Scott Jt Despite Umstead'a host of friends on both, sides of the . fence Jn the Democratic party, some of the lib erals believe that he would be the easiest of any conservative candi date to beat Having lost once (be ing beaten by Broughtoo), and with his failure to run for the Senate against , Graham because of 111 health -- despite the stories, -they feel that Umstead would have trouble, getting a majority, f Meantime, others mentioned as gubernatorial candidates in ; 1952 were much in evidence on the dis trict rally circuit Secretary of State Thad Kure had a red face and a ready answer when; the AP carried a report that he had an- Lnounced his intention, ot running for governor. Somebody Just got the wrong idea from some kidding that was going on, Eure'said. That fiasco is being tabbed by some as a trial baloon. Others think it was just what Euro said, a slip. Even if Thad decides to run -- and it's no secret that he wojfld like to be governor - -: his friends think the hand-shaking Secretary of State has too much political. savvy to come out this early. ' '" Others mentioned in the gover nor's' derby Agriculture Com missioner-Stag Ballentlne,, High way Commission Chairman Henry Jordan, and State Treasurer Bran don Hodges -- are keeping. quiet on the tour, at least they're hav ing nothing to say for public con sumption. - . , The clique in Raleigh that pre dicted and hoped for an unbalan ced budget are worried. Instead of a deficit, that they hoped would discredit JCerr Scott's administra tion, a surplus Is certain for the blennium. So Just as soon as the election is over, they're planning a big anti-administration campaign. -It's not that they mind being proven wrong as much as -it la that they fear the gaining popularity of the Governor, and even his se verest critics admit that Kerr Scott right now is riding high in the minds of a big share of Tar Seel voters. "?'- ., 'i ' ! ' Battle lines are being drawn, but the Ironical fact la that It isn't just on twb fronts. In the early stages there apparently will be about four camps Jockeying for position in: the coming fight lot political control -- and the Govt ernorshlp. After' the General As sembly is over, and the cards are on the table, there likely will be a consolidation move. - j The big question right now -'-and . one that his opponents Would love to see answered -- is "will the Scott a imlnbtratlon back a candidate?" Up to now the Gov ernor has been tending to his own knitting ani j-ocn an p-Ti r li Ben Roney and Private Secretary John Marshall were (1) promoting D. Eiden Ramsey of Asheville and (2) pushing Highway Commission er Jordan for the 1&2 Governor ship race, brought only a chuckle from the Governor. a Meanwhile, the opposition growls and Kerr Scott's popularity in creases with the people. His gains, believe it or not, are Dot confined to original Scott aupportersT i During the last month at least three boards of county commiss ioners have passed resolutions en dorsing Scott's road program, and his drive for more rural electrifi cation and telephones has grown Into one of the most potent politi cal weapons is North Carolina po- flitioal history. ' ' . t . - Republican Gavin 1 could have rolled up quite a vote, possibly won the election, with a different sort of, campaign. A great number of Democrats in the State, who sup ported Frank Graham, were bitter about the type of campaign waged against the former UNC president A lot of them were talking about voting Republican, others about writing In Graham's name on the ballot and still others about not voting at all. . - A non-partlson campaign, such as Gavin advertised, with an appeal to vote against bigotry could have put a Republican in the Senate for the first time in many years. r But Gavin apparently got some bum advice from somewhere and has used practically all of his speeches to cus the Democratic idmlnlstratlon, both State and Na tional. . ' J - v' - Despite this, there stilt Is a strong possibility -- from reports from over the State -- that the Republicans will run up their big gest vote in years this November. If they do, it wilt be the fault of the conservatives --- winners in the primary who still are on the defensive about .'their campaign methods and are trying to discredit the State administration via a whis pering campaign that is going on right now. IfState Chairman .Jordan and his cohorts don't change their tac tics, and start really working for a united Democratic front Novem ber 7, there still Is a reasonable possibility - - and it's-in the miracle class if it does happen -- that San- ford's E. L. Qavln could be the next Ui S. -Senator front North .Carolina. ' Willis Smith's' failure to show upjafc.fte Alamance County YDC rally last Friday evening didn't help things. . - The rally was deliberately staged at Governor Scott's Haw River farm in an effort to boost Smith's stock. . Alamance is about evenly split between Democrats and Re publicans, and some observers see a likelihood that the county's vote could go to GOP standard-bearer E. L: Gavin of Sanf ord. despite the Governor's personal popularity. Around the fringes of the crowd of some- fi.OQO who ate barbecue and listened to the speeches, there was a distinct tone of 'disapproval of Smith's failure to be on hand. Smith sent a telegram of regret, stating that he had a previous en gagement; with the State Bar As sociation at Pinehurst From the reports of the bar meeting, Smith's duty 'was to Introduce the main speaker at the bar association's an nual banquet The senator-nominee was defended on all sides for not appearing, but there Were a lot ot folks present who seemed to think that it. was more important to car ry Alamance County for the Demo crats than it was to. put on a dress suit and Introduce an outsider at a banquet . - All of which comes back to this: the conservatives are In. charge of the Democratic campaign. The lib erals, who fought them bitterly, in the primary, are calling for a uni ted front and a big Democratic, vote for Smith. Governor Scott and defeated-Senator Frank Gra ham are doing all they can to as sure the party, ot a blgger-tban-ever majority in the general elec tion, : J If the vote falls off. with the Re. 1 publicans getting more than a nor mal 21 to 30. of the ballots, it will be the conservative faction which is to blame - - no matter how nard they may try to put It on the Scott-Graham-Danlels group. First things should : come first but State Democratic Chairman Everette Jordan, Willis Smith and fellow conservatives apparently consider, the' electlon in the bag and not worth worrying about They seem to be more Interested in a victory in the 1952 guberna torial campaign. - ' y ' From .

Average increase for the previous two months was 1357, which brought the total increase for the 'first quarter ot the -fiscal year to 13.61' or more than $3, 100,000. Meanwhile, machinery is being set up for issuing the bonus checks to the State's 26,000 teachers for a very Merry Christmas. ,.. State departments would do well to take the J. B. Moore case as an example and make a continuing check to see that no misuse of pub lie property tax' money or State personnel is going on in their own back yards ..'., - ' ' - . - Moore's plea of .nolo contendre was a technical one: It means neith er admitting nor denying guilt J but after hearing very conflicting testimony Judge Hunt Parker gave Moore a fine of $1,000 and put him on two years' probation . Ironically, Moore bad done noth ing that has not been quite popular in the past There seems to ba a gen ecal philosophy prevalent that its' aU right to use or take anything that belongs to the government Ex-OIs will recall that what actu ally was theft of government prop erty was generally practiced and laughed at during World War II. In fact, most servicemen: were taught that it was a lousy soldier that couldn't "confiscate" equlp men to replace that that was stolen from him. It was accepted practice to latch onto anything that would make life a little more comfortable. This is not meant to ,condoneif Moore s maiscretions. Far from it li' I believe that an iron clad system ox eneexs snouia be made by the State to see that no one no mat ter how high in the office -- per-' verts State property, money or personnel for his own use.

That's the one where pressure is supposedly being put on State em ployees to make them contribute to the Democratic Party's war fund. Department heads have ''received letters from- State- Democratic Chairman Everette Jordan politely asking for a donation. . , .." Reporters have,, been unable to find State employees who can prove tney were, put on the spot for a campaign fund shakedown, but the usual story of someone coming by with a list of names and a "sug gested! amount for 'the employees to give is. going around. Scott forces were charged by , ui cunservauves wiu aoing tne same thing during the road-bond election campaign and the. Senator ial primary. This time the shoe's oh the other foot with the conser vatives (or Old Guard) boys being accusea oi asking for the money. There hasn't been an election in recent years that the same charge hasn't been made. Some, folks say it shouldn't be done; others say that the jobholders wouldn't be working -- or should I say drawing pay if u wasn't for the Democratic partyi so they should be happy to donate to the cause. r ,'' Workers should be chosen lor their ability, not for their political connections, and should be free tn donate, or not as they see fit But mat s just a beautiful dream.
