MIGHT BE THE LAST STRAW

The modern idea of religion as far as govern
ment is concerned is not that it is something for
the government to administer to the people for the
benefit Of the state, but something for the indi-
vidual ruler-whether by alleged "divine right, -
or the will of the people-to adhere to, just like
the ordinary citizen, as a motivating and control
ling principle of life
1t begins to look as though Mr. Hitler had made
a big mistake in his attempt to be a dictator in
German religion, as well politics, business and
social relations, and to make the church one more
tool to help put across whatever it is he is trying
to do in Germany, if, indeed, he really knows what
that is.
Organization, armies and generals have never
been essential to religion in revolt against the
dictation of political government.
All its real victories have been won by the pure
ly passive sort of resistance which has given the
world its great martyrs and some of its greatest
heroes
The open revolt of thousands of German preach
ers and pastors against the Hitler attempt to die
tate religious belief and practice entirely outside
the question of the political relation of the ind
vidual citizen to his government, certainly ought
to give Mr.. Hitler and his political cohorts pause
1t might well be the last straw which he should
avoid loading onto the backs of his long suffering
people.-Rock Hill IS. c. Herald

tions which will follow, the true friends of
prohibition are taking a wise course IN
coming together in one national organiza-
ton. With State organizations, county and
lesser units thoroughly organized through
out the country, the war on the liquor traf-
fic will be maintained, and in the course
of time sentiment against the liquor bust
ness will again reach such proportions that
it is probable both the legalized and lille
gal traffic will be as nearly annihilated as
is possible in this or any other country.
Prohibitionists are not expecting the time
to come in this country when no alcoholic
beverages will be manufactured and there
will not be drinker or drunkard in the
United States; but they are definitely eX-
pecting that the orgy of booze manufac-
turing, selling and consumption re-intro-
duced with the repeal of the 18th Amend
ment, will come to an end some time and
large majority of the country's citizens will
turn again to support of prohibition.
In the meantime, it is clearly the duty of
all who oppose the liquor traffic, legalized
and illegal, to fight at every turn and to
national and State organizations
pledged to a never-ending war on the
traffic.

THE BANKERS CODE SUSPENDED

General Hugh s. johnson did the right and pro-
per thing when he suspended the banking code,
which was very extreme and penalized small bust
ness and small accounts in the banks These codes
are intended to help business, not to hurt it.
A good banker has in mind the DEVELOPMENT and
the increase of the banks business, and he knows
better than anybody that to tax man who had a
small account in the bank would make it unpopular
and cause the withdrawal of lot of deposits of
$50 and less from the bank. The good banker
knows that the large bank accounts in his institr
ton have for the most part grown from small ac
counts and that the small accounts should he nonr-
ished and encouraged rather than discouraged by
useless and unreasonable charges. Of course hanks
are imposed upon and made to do great deal of
work for nothing, but the banks that do this can
stop it when they wish. When banks make money.
they don't make it by charging rs cents month
on accounts Of under $50. They make it by loan
ing Their money and loannig not only their money
| but the money of the depositors -Elizabethtor

chairman Of the House Commit
tee on Coinage, Weights, anc
Measures. he first brought world
famous monetary experts befcrt
his committee and then wresteC
the presidents dollar revaluatior
bill away, from the Banking ant
Currency Committee after Roose'
welt had addressed himself to the
latter.
The coinage committee ha:
been entirely obscure since it hat
hearings on some weights ant
measures bill II or IA years ago
Chairman Henry Steagalls bank
ing committee had handled all tlf
big financial and currency meas
ures of the Hoover ad!ninlStra'
ton and the New Deal.
But Somers went right bach
into monetary history and dem
onstrated by precedent that HI!
committee had jurisdiction ovcl
all bills dealing with valuation
of the gold dollar.
The explanation is interesting
In 1929 Somers found the value
of his stocks, his manufacturing
business End real estate dropping
rapidly. He lay OH his back at a
Massachusetts lake peach and
pondered the questions of wealth
money. and webbing credit struc-
ture.
Later he began to study As
23d in seniority on the New York
delegation he had been assigned
to all the poorest co:amittees-
including coinage. He decided to
stay with coinage.
After the 1880 Democratic con-
gressional victory made him
chairman, he began educating his
committee on gold and silver so
it could take hold of something
big.
And now look at him!

this be making the change in him?
I'm afraid I am gradually losing
him, which would mean the end for
me. Please tell me what to do to
test his affections.
DESPERATELY IN LOVE.
Answer-The chances are that
your intensity has frightened the
young man away. He doesn't want
to be pinned down, and in this
he is smarter than you are. Girls
take their love affairs too seri-
ously. Boys do not dare to see
too much of them for fear they
will be swept into a diSagreeable
emotional storm.
1t is a great mistake to test
young mans affections just as
they are beginning to jell. 1t is
like opening the oven door on an
intricate cake. The jar makes it
fall fiat. You are trying to clutch
love with hands that are too
greedily possessive. 1t can't be
done. Let go.
Dear Jane JOrdan-I am "a and

have been engaged two months and
we're to be married Aug. IL, if 1 was

much of me as of him, and would
marry me now if had a job.
1t is just about to drive me crazy.
l would crawl on my knees to her if
it would do any good. l am so
downhearted I feel like committing
suicide. If 1 don't get her back,
something is going to happen.
DOWNHEARTED.
Answer-It is the sense of per-
sonal failure that is eating you.
Your suicide impulses are a get
even reaction and entirely child
ish. A love disappointment makes
a strong man and breaks weak
one. If you are as courageous as
1 think you are you will compen-

dearly. I know she wouldn't dc
anything to hurt them or cause
them to be looked down upon. That's
not all. On a few occasions that
know Of, he has whipped her with
a strap. Don't you think he is 60
ing a little too far since he isn't g
model husband and does things thai
are against the law? LOUISE.
Answer-Your friends behave
like a pair of babies squabbling in
a sandboX In spite OF their Chron-
illogical maturity they have devel-
oped beyond the emotional stage
of very small children. When
they are crossed they throw things
out and howl.
This situation is far more COM
mon in marriage than any one
suspects. People who have made
outstanding professional and
business successes often revert to
the infantile level when confront
ed with the emotional situations
of marriage. To expect success
full partnership between them is
only the wishful thinking of a
Pollyanna.
You represent the wife in the
case as the abused party. This
may be true. If she really is more
mature and emotionally stable
than the husband she either will
find way to control his childish
tantrums or she will take her chill
dren and escape from them. No
other person can help her very
much. She will have to find ways
and means for herself. The abll-
ity to meet the emergencies of life
on ones own initiative is the
mark of a groWn-up person.
Dear Jane JOrdan-I am 20 years
old and going to college. About a
month ago I fell in love with a boy
two years younger than myself. He
is a very nice young man and pop
ular with the girls of my set. He
is a doctors son and I love hin
desperately. 1 go into crying spells
when he is not with me because ]
think he is out with some one else
He told me that if I wanted tc
have other dates to do so, which
hurt me very much.
He is beginning to act very
strange toward me. He admits he
doesn't love me, though he says he
doesn't love any one else. At times
I have a nasty, 0isagreeable temper
which makes him very angry. Coulc
