THOMAS JEFFERSON

Wicks Of All Souls Unitarian Church
Sunday, "once in a while to go back
and refresh ourselves at the sources
of our national stream, where the
waters were fresh and clear"
DIR. Wicks based his sermon on the
life of Thomas Jefferson because of
the efforts today to make shrine Of
Jefferson's home, Monticello"
1T Is WELL" DIR. Wicks said, Ito
stand on the mount with the fathers
Of our country and look at the vision
that inspired them. With them we
then see a country born in a passion
for freedom, under friendly skies that
smiled upon their aspirations, a land
where men ranked as men. honored
for their real worth, no handicap hold

land flowing with something better
than milk and honey, waiting only for
the hand Of toll to blossom into
fruitfulness, a great land of oppor-
tunity.
1T is better to go back to the IA
theirs than invite them to come to us.
They might be saddened TO see how
far we are from realizing their
dreams. The stream that flowed from
those first springs has been muddied
with the years. Just now its waters
are so black that many despair. Cor
ruption in high places, venality in
law, have shaken confidence in popu-
lar government.

level Of an idiot to Jefferson himself.
The Democracy Of Jefferson was a
Democracy OF peers. but has become
a mobocracy and the place Of Jeffer-
son filled by demagogues who mouth
his words, but fail to follow his prin-
ciples.
Jefferson said that he sometimes
asked himself whether my country is
the better for my having lived in it?'
Do We hesitate to answer? This is a
better country because it's foundations
were laid by Thomas Jefferson" said
Dr. Wicks.

Need of'Strengthening Faith

Our faith needs strengthening. We
cannot do better than go to jefferson.
First among the fathers who had the
glorious vision is Thomas Jefferson
who. above all others. may be called
the Father of Democracy, not par
tlsan democracy. but the democracy
in which all Americans believe.
We take no gratitude from Wash
ington, Paine, Franklin. Adams to in
crease our debt to jefferson. We need
crowd no one from his niche. in our
Hall Of Fame to make room for him
He made his own niche.
I'm Jefferson are gathered up all the
ideals and aspirations Of that heroic
period, so that in him we may see the
American people Of that time.
THE title of which he was proudest
was that Of being the writer Of the
Declaration Of Independence. When ne
came to write his epitaph he disdained
speaking Of his external honOrs. He
did not mention he had been secretary
o. State and President. He told only
that he had written two documents
tavoring human liberty. and had
founded an institution OF the higher
lecrning.
The spirit of the Declaration of In
dependence was Jefferson's own spirit.
lie was first of all the champion of
liberty. a liberty that did not stop
with political freedom, but included
mental freedom as we'll. This freedom
he would have extended to the slaves.
Fad his advice been followed, slavery
would have died a natural death
through lack OF sustenance.

CURB STOCKS SHOW
SLIGHT UPWARD TREND

NEW YORK, April 12.-Prices on
the curb exchange today showed a
creeping upward trend. the result
OF moderate short covering inspired
by cable dispatches telling of Ger.
mapy's acceptance Of the Dawes
report. There was. however, no
general disposition to take a def
mite stand on the long side Of the
market, the approaching weekend
recess initiating against any re.
sumption of bullish activity.
Standard Oil shares gave a. good
account of themselves, expectation
of an advance in California crude
being reflected in fractionally higher
prices in most issues. Prairie Oil
and Gas and Humble Oil were
among the strongest in the group.
Interest in the independent oil list
converged on the South American
shares and on such issues as Red
Bank and Sapulpa Refining.
Industrial stocks were generally
steady, with the exception Of the
motor and taxicab issues, in which
selling pressure was renewed. Ma
tional Tea was admitted to trading.
selling initially at 235.
Mining shares were steady. with
increased buying Of coppers the
outstanding feature.
Bonds were steady. Consolidated
Textile Ss, however, were heavy.

NOW GOOD TIME
To PURCHASE
BONDS
Small investors Urged to Buy
High Grade Public Utility
and Rail Bonds.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Irrespec.
tive Of the minor swings of trade
in the forthcoming weeks, this may
safely be offered today to small
investors.
Now is the time to buy high
grade bonds, especially Of well
managed railroads and public
utility enterprises, particularly
those engaged in selling hydro.
electric power. Moreover, the pres.
ent and prospective abundance of
long term and short term credit
makes government bonds, such as
the obligations Of the United States
treasury and the American states
and cities particularly attractive.
The same logic which makes good
bonds desirable at this time also
applies to preferred stocks Of the
very best grade-tO securities of
companies that have demonstrated
their ability to earn dividends all
through the varied phases of the
business cycle.
At the first dawning of pros.
perity the largest opportunities for
speculative profits are to be foun0
in common shares. After the ex.
pansion has run it's course and
recession is in sight investors can
protect their principal by switching
from stocks that may depreciate
into good bonds which ought to an.
preciate from any releasing Of funds
by shrinking industry.
Two factors make bonds and pre-.
ferred shares worth considering at
this time.
First, uncertainty as to the i'm
mediate trade and speculative out
look, because Of political and other
factors.
Secondly, the abnormal plentitude
OF credit resources in the United
States, an influence indicating firm
bond prices.
After the political atmosphere
clears, there is good reason to be-.
lieve that business men will become
more venturesome.
The present hand to mouth buy
ing in wholesale markets is prim-
arilyi ascribable to lack Of any gen.
eral expectation of rising com.
modify prices.
