cure a parole he would still be just
one of the prisoners in the State Pri-
sor here, those in informed circles
here agree.
EGO" Hangs On.
When Colonel Lea first entered pri-
son, he could not forget that he had
teen a colonel in the Army, a United
States senator and a maker and break
er of governors in Tennessee, where
it is conceded that for years he was
the virtual political dictator, those ia
nijliar with his record maintain. For
after spending almost three years in
an effort to avoid serving his prison
sentence, efforts were started even he
fore he entered prison to get a parole
for him. 1t is generally agreed that
more political pressure and influence
was brought to bear in an effort to
win a parole for Lea than any other
prisoner who has ever been in prison
here. No stone was left unturned and
thousands of letters and appeals from
the politically and financially prom
inent were received in his behalf.
High-Pressure Fails.
But these high-pressure methods
and intensive efforts to win a parole
for Lea. based almost entirely on his

of those guests gathered there to
watch Jesus to jockey themselves in
to the seat of honor at each table?
Here were social climbers" of the
rudest and most ill-mannered Sort So
Jesus said to them, 'When thou art
hidden of any man to a marriage
feast, sit not down in the chief seat

est seat. For every one that exal-
teth himself shall be humbled; but he
that humbleth himself shall be exalt-
ed" Unselfishness and humility are
the chief requisites to good manners.
There can be no true culture where
these are missing!
The nl-mannerd Host
Was it true hospitality on the part
of Jesus host that sabbath day to in
vite as his guests only those whom
it paid to invite? Is not true hospi-
tality devoid of that selfishness that
has some "ax to grind" at the dinner
table? Was it a breach of true cour-

Our Manners Toward Goo
Here some pious "FIallelujah Broth
err" tried to change the subject by
shouting, BLESSED is he that shall
eat bread in the kingdom of God" In
stead of changing the subject, Jesus
told a story to show how unlikely
were their prospects for just that.
They had indeed been invited by the
prophets. Even now, through Jesus,
the announcement was made, Come,
for all things are now ready, but they
all with one consent began to make
excuse" Not reasons but excuses! For
we can never give God reason for
refusing his invitations. Buying and
paying for a home is no excuse of ir-
religion. Business interest and putting
over big deals are no excuse, either.
Nor are the duties of domestic life
any excuse for those who say, II have
married a wife, and therefore I can
not come" What rank discourtesy to

previous Importance and influence
not only failed to impress Governor
j. G. B. Ehringhaus and Commission
err of Paroles Edwin NJ Gill, but if
anything, served to delay action on
his case For all of these petitions for
parole were declined
1t evidently dawned on Lea and his
friends that they could not bring pres
sure to bear in North Carolina as they
had in Tennessee and that politics did
not count very much here. For while
Lea might have been a big man in
Tennessee, he was just another phi
soner in North Carolina. When he ,3e-
gan to realize this, the door to Gle
mency gradually started to open to
him, where it had been tightly closed
before. AS he began to strut less and
less and to think more of his fellow
prisoners and less of himself, to spend
more of his time doing the tasks as
signed to him in the prison hospital
and less seeking a parole, the parole
got nearer, finally materialiZed.
Refuses To Pose.
Governor Ehringhaus emphatically
refused the request of a reporter that
he pose for a picture while shaking
hands with Colonel Luke Lea, former
Tennessee publisher, to whom he had
given a parole, when Colonel Lea call
ed upon to thank him for the parole.
For while Governor Ehringhaus shook
hands with Colonel Lea, who called on
him in his office to express his thanks
for the parole, and wished Colonel
Lea success in whatever he under
oh ho IiJ mt for
any photograph.
The granting of the parole to Col
onel Lea was merely a matter of rou-
tine, as far as 1 was concerned, and
in considering his case, 1 considered
it solely upon it's merits and on his
record as a prisoner" Governor En-
ringhaus said. Gle called upon me to
thank me just as hundreds of other
prisoners do, black as we'll as white,
and am sure he was entirely sincere
in the appreciation he expressed.
Owes Governor Nothing.
II told Colonel Lea, however, that
he owed me no special thanks, since
his case had been considered and
passed upon in the same manner as
any other routine case, and that while
I knew he had many prominent and
influential friends who had appealed
to me in his behalf, it had been his
attitude and his record as prisoner
rather than any of these appeals from
his friends which had brought about
his parole. So in reality, he had him
self to thank for the parole rather
than me-"
1t oecame known here today that
the parole was issued to Colonel Lea
without any warning and that neither
Lea nor his attorney here had any
knowledge that his case was even be-
ing considered.

His only other hope, the Mercer
county grand jury, failed him just be-
fore last midnight, when it suddenly
decided to, discontinue further inves-
tigation Of charges that the murder
for which Hauptmann is scheduled to
die at 8 O'Clock tonight was commit
ted by another man-Paul H. Wendell.
No further requests for a stay of
execution will come from the grand
jury, it was revealed by an authorita-
tive source, which also said that only
a technicality last night prevented the
body from voting a mo bill" in the
Wendell case.
When Colonel Mark o. Kimberling,
warden of the New Jersey State Pri-
son, reached his office this morning,
he Immediately announced the fore
man Of the grand jury had told him
there would be no further requests
from that body for a stay. Kimberling
said he was going ahead with pre-
parations for electrocution tonight,
meanwhile seeking advice from other
authorities as to what he should do.
| That left it squarely up to Cover

than a week ago-"no second re-

door to Hauptmanns hopes.

things are now ready.O
Our modern etiquette writer's are
not the only authorities or even the
leading ones, on the subject. If ones
motives are wrong his manners must
of necessity be affected by them.
Therefore, right spiritual attitudes
and motives are the first and most
fundamental requisites of good man
ners. Why not consult Jesus of MAJ
areth on questions of good manners?
The ul-Mannered PhariseeS
Was it good manners on the part
Of Pharisees that sabbath day, when
Jesus was their invited guest, to
watch him as they did? or to plant
that dropsical man before Jesus to
set trap for him, knowing that
Jesus compassion would lead him to
heal the man on the sabbath? True
hospitality certainly demands mercy,
SO when those who staged the party
omitted it., Jesus supplied it by heal
ing the man of his dropsy, and re-
buking the unmerciful host and
guests by asking (which of you shall
have an ass or an OK fallen into a
well, and will not straightway draw
him up on sabbath day?" True po-
likeness never puts property ahead Of
humanity and it's needs!

TWINKLE, TWINKLE

Press agents for the politicians are working
overtime these days in their frantic desire to mould
public opinion. The relative merits of all parties
are being presented to suffocating public by the
newspaper, radio, pamphlets, circulars and even
books One of the latter which came out recently
is none other than that worthy work on the Con-
stitution by Henry A. Wallace, officially the Sec
rotary of Agriculture, but unofficiay bumper of
stars, as James c. Young so aptly describes the
crop cropper in his Roosevelt Revealed"
Of course it would be unfair to say that the
Honorable Secretary is the only star gazer of note
in capital which has lately been transformed into
vast observatory where dreamyeyed budgeteers
and planners lazily play with astronomical figures.
But -.
At the risk of shifting our metaphors we would
call the Honorable Secretary a twinkle in the New
Deal galaxy; one who could not possibly be rated
as star of the first magnitude, but nevertheless
one whose faint rays might be seen on dark and
clear night with high-powered telescope.
He is still too distant to be studied in detail but
some day he might come down to earth where we
might look him over We are anxious to learn II
he is really the one who has listened to the Jere-
miahs of the Constitution and favors their radical
ways, but yet has not the moral courage to advo-
cate scrapping it during an election year when the
voters are all for saving it. The Honorable Sec
rotary, in his cooperative way, is content to
give the Constitution good shaking, hoping there
by to rock our beliefs now and take away our lib
critics later.-Newsdom.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
LANDoN OPPOSES GAG RULE

"Much has been said recently about freedom of
the press said Governor Landon, Republican NOM
inee for president, before the Kansas Editorial as
ISOLATION. There is, however, another danger
which should be guarded against, and that is the
suppression of information affecting public well
fare. don't like secrecy in governmental affairs
New Deal spokesman also declare against sup
preston of news, but they do not always practice
what they preach. The American people know little
of what government has been doing in the last
three years. The public is given wealth Of gen.
eralities but is shut off from information to which
it is entitled. ....
The New Deal has distributed public funds in
great gobs. To whom has it gone and how much
were they paid? In what state has there been no
secrecy about abecedaran salary lists? No secrecy
about the lists of persons the food lists? Would
it not defeat the New Deal policies with respect
to relief if the average citizen knew who was
getting the cream and who the skinned milk?
When the Blue Eagle was soaring high and
screaming loudly, was an effort not put forth to
control the American press by the subterfuge of
licensing newspapers? In the recent Philadelphia
convention was not news of immediate concern to
delegates suppressed by the bosses? Who says that
opposition to the New Deal was not gagged in that
machne-operated convention?
If the American newspapers should lose their
freedom to publish what they please and to omit
what they please the American people, in short
ORDER would be in the plight of the Italians, the
Germans and the Russians they would read only
what the bosses permitted them to read. Under
dispensation which leans toward hte Left, however
it deny this, the American people are in danger of
losing free newspapers. The Supreme Court of the

! An especially hard drive has
been launched from the merchant
marine industry against selection
of Karl Crowley, solicitor in the
Postofice Department.
Crowley drafted most of the
new merchant marine act, with its
many safeguards against exploita-
ton and failure, to build ships in
return for government funds. H :
/ knows all about the industry and
/ its ocean mail contracts.
Hence, it would be more or less
! logical to appoint him to the board
and Roosevelt has had his name
under consideration. The most i'm
portant thing about any new ad-
ministration is installation of per-
sonnet which will understand its
| functions under the act and will
build up an organization in the in
tercst Of the public rather than
for the benefit of any special
group.
A WHISPERING campaign has
"a been started against the solicit

is that he bungled the celebrated
affair of the airmail contract cam
cellationS, although Crowley's
friends insist that he merely took
the rap on that like good soldier,
the real fancy bungling having
been done, they say, by the De
partment of Justice. ...n
Some of the shipping lobbyists
openly assert that the kind OF men
needed for chairman is lawyer
who will know how to get around
the law.
Roosevelt is above all anxious
that the merchant marine be built
up because he knows as well as
anyone that it's needed as ar
auxiliary to the navy. One side
assures him that the best way tc
get no merchant marine is to ap-
point Crowley; the other side vice
versa.

Tor the post of comptroller gen.
aral, following expiration of John
R. McCarlS l5-year term, there
is a strong movement within the
administration for appointment of
Secretary Harold L. IckeS.
The PWA administrator is not
known to have displayed any in
terest, but it is believed that he
would take the job if it were Of
Tered. The chances also are that
he could have it if he asked for it.,
as he will be used so much in the
Roosevelt campaign for re-elec-
lion that he would be in excellent
position to get what he wanted.
ProgreSsives who want Ickes to
succeed McCarl are arguing for
him that he is not a member of
any party machine, that his party
affiliation has always been Repub-
lican until this year, and that he
has a widespread reputation as an
honest man who gets things done.
Appointment of an old-line
party politician, the president has
been told, would do nothing to
bolster up confidence of a country
jittery about. heavy federal ex-
penditures.

have shown that Honest Harold"
