Rich Robes For Gifts

Christmas is not so much day as a feel ing. James Russell Lowell described 1t as the season when the world. usually hickory hearted. becomes "all kin O smfly round the lips an teary round the lashes." Take honest sentiment away from Christmas and you might as well take away Christmas it. self. As merely the 25th of December it means nothing. Since custom and tradition have set aside the weeks leading up to Christmas as the period for selecting gifts. why not choose them thoughtfully and de- liberately with purpose and significance in mind, rather than in haste and at ran dom?
 Every holiday present. to be sure, is born Of motives creditable to the donor. The consideration too many people leave out of their reckoning. however. is what pleasure and usefulness the gift will afford to the re- cipient If he is man. with mans inborn love of comfort and his Imaginable inability

PUBLIC BUSINESS OR PARTY BUSINESS

F1XACTLY what is meant by the dogma that this oil mess is
e bipartsanY 1t is based on the Presidents statement that
it appears that both Republicans and Democrats are involved.
Upon that premise the President proposed that two lawyers,
one Republican and one Democratic be appointed to prosecute
the guilty and recover any fraudulently lest land or oil
How would the bipartisan lawyers divide the jobs
Would the Republican prosecute the Democrats involved,
while the Democrat prosecuted the Republicans?
Or would the Republican prosecute the Republicans and the
Democrat the Democratsf
Are we expected to believe that when members of a political
party are elected or appointed to official position, they discharge
their duties as partisans and not as public offcialsi
1t is indeed a strange doctrine that has been propounded from
the White House-and rather accepted as a matter of course BY
the bipartisan official world.
If it is true it will be news to the general run of folks who
merely pay for government. Pay for government and vote the
tickets supplied them by political parties which draw their fnan-
cnl lifeblood from offceholders, prospective o~ffceholders and
campaign contributors who want something In the way of Tea
pots, tariff favors, tax rebates or such
Politicians and others who see in this oil matter a bipartisan
affair, forget the public viewpoint. They argue that, being a BIZ
partisan matter, political counsel should be selected representing
both political parties.
But not so. Insofar as the mess is bipartisan. both political
parties are on trial; both are under suspicion and both are, for
the time being; defendants in this action.
Instead of the two political parties being represented at the
trial table it is the public that should be represented. The place
for lawyers representing political parties is on the other eide of
the trial table.

AUTO LICENSE

LAUNDERING Legislature, whipped into line by an insist
IA ent State administration, is responsible for the unprece-
denied muddle resulting from the decision of the Indiana Supreme
Court holding the automobile license law invalid.
Governor McCray urged on increased automobile fees to
raise revenues for the highway department At the same time he
insisted the inheritance tax fees, which previously had gone into
the highway department fund, must go into the general fund,
which needed money. He insisted on these thing until the last
minute of the session when some one conceived the brilliant idea
of joining the two bills. It was the fact the two laws were joined
that led to the act being declared invalid.
The resulting situation is that the highway commission will
not receive its increase and the inheritance tax fees will not go
into the general fund, but into the highway fund. They viii not
be sufficient to take the place of the lost license fees in the high
way fund, but their loss viii cause a still greater deficit in the
general fund.
The net result is that the financial condition Of the State is
even worse than it has been, although this might not have seemed
possible. The next State administration is going to have an I'M
enviable job undoing the blunders of the present one.

Divinity of Christ

To the Editor Of The Times
The Divinity Of Christ, or the union
of the Divine nature with the human,
puzzled not only James Knox of 2160
N. Capitol Ave. one Of your con-
tributors, but also the Pharisees in
the very days Of Christ. for Matt. %:
AZ. 43 mo man wa able to answer
him a word when he asked them, IF
David then call him Christi Lord,
how is he his SOM"
In our language We commonly speak
of a son as n begotten by a father
and born Of a mother. The Hebrew
language has no word for grandson.
so that son" may mean a lineal male
descendant more than one generation
down the line.
Daniel spoke to Nebuchadnezzar
and Belshazzar as father and son dan.
5:1S. 22l when they were grandfather
and grandson.
Christ spoke Of Zaccheus as a "son
OF Abraham luke 1870 though Alb
raham lived about two thousand years
before.
The Jews constructed genealogical
tables by reckoning only the males.
and when the line passed from father
to grandson through a daughter, the
daughter herself was not mentioned,
but her husband was counted as the
son OF the maternal grandfather.
David's Successor
As Solomon was David's successor
to the thrane Of Israel, Mathew traces
the ~genealogy through him to Joseph.
Luke traces 1t rather through Nathan
an elder brother of Solomon-to
Mary. for thus It had to be hat Jesus
should be- the fruit OF David's body
Acts 2:S0).
While Joseph and Mary were both
Of the royal line. only Joseph was of
the regular, legal. required lineage;
Mary being of a line similar to that
Of the Prince OF Wales line of the
United Kingdom. The only way for
Mary to get into that regal line was
by marrying some n in that line,
therefore the marriage with Joseph.
Matthew 1:16 says Joseph is the son
of Jacob, and Luke 1923 says he Is
the son OF He'll; quito impossible Il be
the son of both.
In 1 Samuel 24:16 Saul says rs this

was his son-ln-law. 1t says that
Jacob begat Joseph" but does not
say that Hell begat Joseph, but rather
Joseph, which was . of He'll the
words 'the SON. being added by the
translators. In our day we would call
him the sonin-law of He'll who was
the father of Mary.
