Rev. Leinbach Leaves
For New Position

Rev. Roy E. Leinbach, for the past
several years pastor of the First Re-
formed church, this city, left Sunday
for Carlisle, Pa, where he goes to
accept the pastorate of the largest
church in that city.
Rev. Mr.. Leinbach preached his
farewell sermon to the local congre-
cation Sunday morning at II o'clock.
Expressions of regret over the de-
parture of the minister we're heard
not only among the members of tme
Reformed church but throughout High
Point.
Since coming here Rev. Mr.. Lem
bach has staken an active interest in
the things that spell progress for this
community. He served for quite
awhile as president of the Parent
Teachers association, having been the
first head of that organization.
In any undertaking, regardless of
what it may be, Rev. Mr.. Leinbach
has at all times stood ready to lend a
helping hand. His interest in commu-
nifty service and the work he has done
among the children won for him
reputation here. While High Pointers
regret to see the minister leave they
feel that Carlisle will gain a great
dea by having acquired Mr.. Leinbach
and his friends here wish him every
success in his new field of endeavor.

Get the Thing Settled

There must be growing impatince
all over the world with the manner in
which the allies have handled their
claims were just, they should have in
sisted upon prompt compliance on the
part Of their vanquished foe and
should have enforced their demands,
if necessary, long ago.
If Germany had been victorious,
does anybody believe she would have
been as dilatory in enforcing her
claims against the allies as they have
been with her?
The allies need final settlement of
the whole business much more than
they need the difference of a few mil
lion marks between what they have
demanded and what Germany says
she is able to pay. The world has
been suffering while the discussion has
been prolonged.
If the allies are convinced that
they are right, let them go ahead and
collect their money or take hostages
in the way of territories. and Gus
toms houses. But let them get the
thing settled, so the world can know
what to expect and what to figure On.
Get the thing over with, at any cost

The Worlds Oil Supply

The opening of new oil field in
Sumatra or Mesopotamia is matter
of concern to the owner of a f1ivv er
here at home Oil fields mean gaso-
and we are all now interested in
the price of gasoline.
Scientists tell us that the oil fields
in the United States and Mexico are
becoming exhausted Therefore, if the
Oil fields in other parts of the world
fall into the hands of monopolies, and
our own oil fields become exhausted,
the price of gasoline may become bur
densome indeed.
The United States government, in a
recent note to the Dutch government,
laid down the proposition that there
must be no monopolies of the oil fields
of the world. that trade must be open
and all the nations of the earth have
an equal chance.
This may turn out to be serious
matter, but our government has stated
it's position clearly and unequivocally
and may be expected to stand to it.
The proposition is sound one. Our
government, as a government, is pri-
marty interested in adequate supplies
of fuel oil for the navy, but it is also
interested in free and open supplies
of oils for it's citizens. =
=. And as the situation now stands,
every automobile owner in the coun-
try: is directly and personally interest
ed in the outcome. The controversy
over the oil fields will be well worth
watching.

Roundly Scored
Plato Durham Sharply.

In Memorial Day Address at Char
lotte He Compares Harvey to
Ananias and Benedict Arnold.

Charlotte, May 30.-Addressing the
thousands who attended national Me
mortal day exercises today in Elm
wood cemetery, DR.. Plato Durham, of
the faculty of Emory university, At
lanta, said "were Mr.. George aHrvey
a hundred times ambassador to the
Court of ST. James still would say
that he spoke with the tongue of Ana
MAS and with the heart of Judas. His
sentiments shall not coil like a poi
son serpent oyer the ashes of our de-
voted dead, he shall not list the white
crosses at their head among the igno-
minious trophyies Of materialistic
cynicism. He seems to dispute with
Benedict Arnold the evil eminence Of
treason"
Apostrophizing Woodrow Wilson,
DIR. Durham said: "All hail to you, the
living and to you. who sleep. All hail
to your great commapder-in-chie who
raised the standard of American ideal
ism against the earth's embattled SELF
ishness, Woodrow Wilson"
The throngs cheered wildly at the
rebuke to Harvey and at the glorifi-
cation of Wilson.

Major Wade H. Phillips, of Lexing
ton, Sunday afternoon at clock II

the skill and discipline of the German
soldier. The boys who wore the kna- @
XII. the speaker declared, were W0fchy

YOUR PISTOL, IF YOU HAVE ONE

L
Two men in a neighboring city had
a difficulty. One Of the men habit
ually carried pistol. One night not
long after the difficulty the two men
passed each other on the street and
accidentally brushed against each 9TH
er. The man who had the pistol drew
his weapon and shot his rival dead.
He was hailed into court and brought
to trial. He put up the plea OF self
defense he said he believed his life
was in danger and that he had shot
to save himself.
But the fact stood out that he was
carrying a deadly weapon, in VIOLA
ton of the law. The jury found him
guilty of manslaughter and he Will
have to serve twelve years in the pen
itentiary. When he comes out, II ne
lives to finish his sentence, he Will De
an old and broken man: His usefuI-
ness will have been gone.
A man cannot plead self-deefnse
unless he comes into court with ciean
hands. The men who killed his nelgn-
Dor was carrying a deadly weapon, IN
violation of the law, and so he could
not under the law plead selt-defense'
If the slayer had not had a pistol
the two men might have had a hight
and police court case would nave
ended it. r.
But the man threw his life away
for the benefit of carrying a pistol.
Not only that, he stained his hands
With human blood, the stain that IS
hardest Of all to rub off.
If you have a pistol, leave 1t at
nome when you go away from home;
Better still, drop it into a we'll ana
let it stay there.
