True, it remains to be seen how well
har reforms work.
Life is no static thing. Cultural
“elvilization" is at least a century
behind what we call science. Govern-
ment still rides in a buggy while sci-
ence rtden the clouds. Government is
still pretty crude. it can stand a lot
of improvement. Merely to abolish
actual hunger and want from the very
door of 50 per cent of the world’s pop-
ulation will take a terrific amount of |
endeavor.
But the vital thing is to be able to |
effect thane changes by ballots instead
of bullets. .

Mud Slinging of Candidates Disgusts Press Reader
Editor, The Press:
MONDAY night wife and I
drove out to Rosen Heights
to listen to the few remaining
candidates make their final ap-
peal for the various offices. We
hadn't been there but a few
minutes until we heard our Fort
Worth,newspapers severely crit-
icized for refusing to carry in
their columns the itinerary of
the second primary, and they
dwelt at length on thanking a
minister for his services with his
. sound truck traveling up and
down the streets advising the
people when and where they
could go to hear the remaining
candidates make their final ap- |
peal. '
They sold me against the
newspapers, and I likewise con-
demned them at heart—for a
few minutes only.

the world's greatest mud-sling-
ers ever permitted to mount a .
platform and explode with their
slanderous dynamite. I began to
appreciate our newspapers for
keeping the itinerary secret
from the public."

TT is the beginning of the end of a
1 rubber-stamp Senate. If it is fol-
lowed up by a close race, with Roose-
velt winning by a scant margin, with
some other Democratic statesmen like
JimmiesByrnes and Pat Harrison also
being returned, and with an increased
and fighting Republican minority in the
House, the country can be assured that
Providence has not abandoned its fav-
ored among the nations.
It would be an ideal outcome. We
never had an abler President or one
better fitted to deal with the particular
kind of problems that confront us. The
overwhelming Democratic majorities
pushed the balance of all power to the
White House. It was inevitable that
a hastily assembled emergency staff
had to be Tolled upon in some meas-
ure to propose legislation for which
the President had to take responsibil-
ity, and which came in such mass as
not to be well guided. It didn’t work.
But, with this fundamental correction,
it is far better than its alternative—
a return to a thinly disguised Hoover-
ism under Governor Landon.
It would leave government pointed
where it ought to be a little left of
center but with a balancing force to
keep it from wobbling toward the infra-
red. It would inevitably put the dam-
per on extravagance, waste and fan-
tastic monetary and taxation experi-
ments. That alone would release such
a flood of pent-up, timid investment
money to create employment that re-
lief spending could be cut in half. It
would end the depression, and that
alone would wipe out half the isms
from our political scene.

to control the whole trade from pro-

so on.
That France was able to effect such
a revolution without bloodshed is a
handsome feather in her cap. Across
the Pyrenees her Spanish cousins are
tearing each other to pieces over po-
litical differences.
Thus France proves her claim, with
America and Great Britain, to be one
of the world's three great democracies.

people resent damaging propa-

why there have not been more
fights. And there will be, no
doubt. If some of the candidates
persist in spending their entire
time defaming their opponents.
The candidates who are trying

they are not segregated into an-

WOMAN DEPLORES
STAGE CAREER FOR FAY
Editor, The Press:
A FTER reading an article in
A The Press by Mrs. Guedry,
lauding Fay Cotton for her sense
of right and sincerity, as well as
her natural beauty; we are com-
pelled to agree with her that
beauty and brains are a wonder-
fill combination In one so young,
who is just starting out on her
worldly career. Said career, ac-
,cording to Mrs. Guedry, em-
braces In part music and danc-
ing . Then she goes on to say
that Fay also has strong relig-
ious inclinations. How strong?
After reading what the Apos-
tle Paul says in 1 Cor. 10:31.

drink, or whatsoever ye do, do
all to the glory of God," we won-
der In what way God is going
to be glorified in a career which
embraces late night shows,
where nudity and semi-nudity is
tolerated.
In the Bible, we are told that,
to be a deciple of Jesus, we must
"take up our cross and follow
him," and we do not believe he
would ever lead one to night
clubs, or "leg'' shows. We can-
not possibly believe such things
are of God, but that they belong
| ly career and fame on the other.
We also recognize her person-
al right and privilege of choos-
ing whom she serves, but it is
disgusting to read so many arti-
cles praising her efforts at
serving two masters, instead of
helping her "shun the very ap-
pearance of evil" and to fear
God and keep his command-
ments, for this is the whole duty
of man.

N this man Coughlin and this

with themselves and decide
whether they are speaking for

I remember, some of the gunmen
who stuck up the seven bootleg-
gers and blew them down all in
a row in that garage on St.’ Val-
entine’s Day in' Chicago’ were
dressed in policemen's suits.
There have been intimations in
the political orations o'f Coughlin
and Smith that they would not
hesitate to shove around people
who happen not to believe in their
beliefs—whatever they may be.
And I defy anyone who has fol-
lowed their stuff in print and on
the air to say definitely what.
their beliefs are.
* *
1 TP to now I have not read or .
U heard of either man's’saying ,
that he would be willing to stick wi
up the opposition against the wall 1
and blow them down with machine j
guns, but Spain is only a few days 1
from here and Germany a day and 1
a half beyond, and the gist of t
their politics, as well as I can 1
unscramble it, is that they do 1
things rather well in countries ■
where the opposition is stood M
against the wall. '
They deplore communism with 1
its repression and bloody terrors 1
but Indorse by inference the same 1
horrors in Germany, Italy and 1
Spain. If they do not approve 1
these methods as applied in the ■
interests of Fascism in Germany. 1
Italy and Spain, they ought to 1
say so frankly, because their fail-
urc to say so raises'a reasonable B
doubt in the minds of some of us. . B
- Coughlin is more evasive and U
cunning than Smith and there-
fore. It seems to me, a little less 1
reckless, but his remarks convey 1
the same general idea, although B
both of them are shy on particu- 1
lars.
Both of them, call themselves 1
"reverend,'’ and I have no thought 1
of questioning their legal and ec-
clesiastical right to this title, but
if it comes to that I am not-only |
a "reverend" but a "right rever- |
end” myself, and the very fact of g
my being a "right reverend” T
bishop will suggest a rate of ex- B
change for clerical titles, se

T GOT my title of bishop unex-
1 pectedly by mail from some
church incorporated in the ]
- state of Colorado. Ti gives
me authority to sole mnize
weddings and conduct funer-
als and bears the official cor-
porate seal of the religion, and
I have no reason to doubt that it
also gives me full authority to 1
fetch up wherever I can find a
pine table, a water pitcher and a
radio, mike and incite my fellow
men to bloody malice against
their neighbors.
But the title carries a great re-
sponsibility, cheap and foolish as . 1
it is, and I never would attempt
to use it one way or another. But 1
I do insist that men who do use
the title of “reverend" should be
obliged to justify it by their con-
duct and tell us just where, when. 1
and in what words God author-
ized them to do as they do.
I am instinctively devoted to
Jesus Christ, but if these two
men are speaking for Christ, then
there must be some mistake. He
was never interpreted that way to
me. I never thought of him as a
politician or a propagandist of
bitterness and hate. We all in-
terpret God in our own way, and
many a man has been massacred
for love of the Nazarene. But
the Christ of my belief is a gentle
God, and I will string along with •
him. - Neither this Coughlin nor .
this Smith speaks for my God,
and for my part they are not to
be revered.
