Democrats Have
No Chance Majority
In Senate, Word Moses

Washington. D.. c.. Nov. 1.-THE
Democrats do not possess the slight
chance of obtaining a majority in the
next Senate. This is the fiat and con-
fldent prediction of Senator George
III. Moses of New Hampshire. chair
man OF the Republican senatori1t
campaign committee.
IF that be true" adds Senator
Moses. land sincerely believe it is
n fair statement of facts, then the
voters of this country have before
them two alternatives: continual
ton of bloc control or n restoration
OF full party responsibility
This statement OF the New Hamp-
shire man reflects n growing swing
to Coolidge which he believes he
sees as election approaches. Three or
four months ago, or even month
ago. Mr.. Moses was not willing to
predict that the Democrats had no
chance of getting Senate majority.
In fact. the campaign started with
the Democrats very hopeful of OBJ
tanning a majority. The statistics of
the situation favored them. Most Of
the Democrats up were from the
southern states and sure OF reelec~
ton. They only had to take few
seats from the republicans to get a
majority. Early in the campaign
Republican leaders freely admitted
In private that the outlook was
dubious.
But now every one In Washington
at least feels that Coolidge swing is
in evidence.
Mr.. Moses Is now quite hopeful of
obtaining a real Republican Senate
majority. He hopes to take half n
dozen seats from the Democrats and
70 reflect all Republicans. ITO smash
the bloc system" is his aim.

made to effect an entrance and ras-

was a raging furnace. In spite of
the use Of gas masks, the firemen
were unable to reach the beds In
which the children were sleeping
and 1t was not until a half hour
after the firemen arrived that the
flames were sufficiently conquered to
allow the removal of the beds With
the bodies of the dead children.

self that it could not be done but
Edisons are not in the majority. It
is this sort of mind that brings the .
crop of bizarre religions, 81 varieties, !
mostly pickles. Dynamite is the only |
remedy and even great disaster is
not always certain.
THE UNDISCRIMINATING
MINDED
That next field with it's full crop is |
the same soil that would produce a |
bumper crop only there are more
weeds and thorns than anything else.
But there are times when l prefer
berries from a brier patch to the fin
est wheat in the world. Roses grow
on thorn bushes also. They are not
bad they are only out of place in a
wheat field. Perfectly good things
fill the mind. Of course bad things
will do the same thing but it is not
necessarily the choice of evil but the
choice of the wrong thing that has
spoiled this fine field. Golf is a
wonderfully attractive game but if it
is allowed to displace the church it
shows an undiscriminating choice of
a lower instead of higher good.
Jesus knew so many who were filling
the mind with lesser good than the
Gospel of the Kingdom, who were in
sisting upon His being miracle
worker and healer of the body instead
of the revealer of the Father, that
He was saddened over the view of the
field that might have been so produc-
tive given over to misplaced emphas-
is. And America knows them too.
And the mind of America, movie
made and radio made will not harvest
PHILOSOPHERS, nor garner Gods great
est gift. 1t is easier to grow the
vigorous weed than the tender corn
| but Following the line of least resis-
lance makes crooked rivers as well as
crooked men,"
THE PRODUCTIVE MINDED
The last field was the joy of the
Farmers heart He was dreaming
of His disciples and the harvest that
would be gathered from their fields
over which He was bending with such
care. There were others who would
respond so readily that when another
was needed to take the place of Judas
more than one was so fit that the dis
ciples were forced to draw lots since
they could not choose otherwise.
"Some 80, some so, some 1O0'-there
are inequalities even among the best
and most devoted. John and Philip
both gave all but the harvest differed.
Yet the smallest yield of 80 fold
multiplied all the seed sowed by more
than 7. In spite of losses Christs
wheat will yet feed the world.
