tention in the legislature next year are
the sales tax and the problem of handling
liquor.
I am uncompromisingly in favor of
taking the sales tax off all the principal
articles of food and removing all of it
from every other commodity or article if
possible to do so.
l am in favor of keeping liquor con-
troll and liquor revenue at home. | am
opposed to State control of liquor stores
and against the State taking any part of

No man can say definitely eight
months before the legislature meets exact

the issues will present themselves. But
on all these questions it will be my pur-

Methodist Board Passed Resolution
To Be Presented at Next
Conference Meet

A resolution favoring reopen
ing Of Davenport college at Lenoir
in the fall of 1897 if sufficient
financial provision can be made
was passed by the executive COM
mittee of the board of Christian
education of the Methodist church
Western North Carolina conference
and a committee of Davenport trus-
tees at a meeting held here recently
This resolution will be presented
to the board of Christian education
with the request that it make this
recommendation at the next an
nual session of the conference.
Davenport college has been clos
ed since the Western North Caro-
lima conference, its owner, and the
North Carolina conference, its
owner, and the North Carolina
conference, owner of Greensboro
college, decided to merge the two
institutions into one college a,
the Greensboro plant. The merger:
however, was never accepted by
many friends of Davenport college
and an effort to have the college
re-opened has been under way
since the conference action.

Richmond, Va, May 6-Frank
Lorimer, director Of the commit,
tee on population problems of the
national resources committee, de-
clared today the intensity of com.
PETITION and the uncertainty of the
future are preventing normal popu.
lation replacement.
He spoke at the concluding ses-
sion of the National Planning Con-
ference here, attended, by 200 mem
bers of the American City Planning
institute, the American Planning
and Civic association and the Am

ing with the Virginia Institute Of
Architects at Williamsburg tonor-
row, the last event on its four-day
istic
The high productivity character
istic of farming and MINING COM
munities in areas of low opportuni-
ty intensifies the population prob
lem, Lorimer said.
"Using an index of economic
level developed by the study of
population redistribution" he con-
tinued, 1.-THE group of counties
characterized by the lowest plane
of living was found to have in
1880 a ratio of children to wo-
men 81 per cent above that suf-
ficient for mere population replace
ment. The group at the next level
was characterized by a natural
increase of some 40 percent per
generation, whereas in the group
next to the top there were 10 per
cent fewer children than would
suffice for mere population replace
ment. In the group of counties at
the top there was a fertility de-
ficit of about per cent"

Drive of Congress

Important legislation some of it
backed by the administration-was
apparently doomed for this ses-
sion as Congress concentrated upon
taxes, relief and adjournment in
early June.
While President Roosevelt said he
was still hopeful that uhe ship
subsidy and pure food and drug
bills would be enacted, there were
strong indications that he would
not let these controversial meas
ures stand in the way of adjourn
ment.
The Democratic leadership on
Capitol hill and the = Republican
minority, in fact, seemed united
upon a program which would let
these measures fall by the wayside.
The Frazier Lemke farm mortgage
refinancing bill as we'll, was held
by leaders to have little chance for
final consideration at this session.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader, talked over
the situation with President Roose-
welt and then told reporters:
II think it will be possible to ad-
journ early in June. Satisfactory
progress is being made on the two
main bills-taxes and relief.
No one can say exactly how long
these fights will last but there is
no indication of a disposition to de-
lay unduly the tax or relief bills.
1.-THE Republican would like to
finish the session before the date
of their national convention and ]
believe we will have general CO.
operation to that end"
The Republican convention opens
June 9 in Cleveland and is follow
ed two weeks later by the Demo
cratic convention in Philadelphia.
Today's activities gave some
hint of an all-around purpose Of
winding up the work of Congress:
about June {, but leaders were
fixing no final date in order tc
avoid a trap by those who might
seek to force delay in the interes,
of enacting their own pet" meas
ures.

Sunday School
Lesson

Effectual prayer.
Lesson for May 10th. Luke
1S.1-14.
Golden Text: Luke 1878.
Note the startling contrast pre-
sented by the parable of the Phari-
see and the publican. We picture
the Pharisee, a man of wealth and
power, a pillar of the church,
highly respected in the community
We see him in his seat in the
synagogue, we'll dressed, a pattern
of politeness and good taste. But
on the other side of the meeting
house there sits a poor out cast,
stability dressed, his features
marked by sin and shame. And
yet Jesus tells us that this publ
can went home with a blessing
denied to the rich and influential
Pharisee.
What a reversal of judgment!
"Many that are first" said Jesus.
''shall be last, and the last shall be
first" One is reminded of the
fable of the ace between the hare
and the tortoise, won by the lat
ter, for the tortoise, though far
slower. had more persistence and
integrity of character.
And so the Pharisee, despite his
worldly advantages and success:
was really a failure. Consider his
pride. He trusted greatly in him
self. His prestige had made him
arrogant. Nothing damns like
success, and the Pharisee wa
eminently successful.
There are many who, like thi:
complacent Pharisee, are quite
content with themselves. Such
folks have little real religion. Their
faith, such as it is, is a superficial
conformity to convention. How
far they are from Gods Realm!
The publican, on the other hand
was genuine in his eagerness to re
form and start afresh. His hum
ility was his saving grace.
Note, too, the contempt Of thi
Pharisee. He was a first elias
snob who judges a man not by tn
merit of his character, but by hi
wealth and social status. How
fatty this spirit contradicts tn
purpose of Jesus and the content o
his message! For our Lord cam
to this world to drive contemP
out, and to put love in its place
Unless We learn this lesson soo1
our sick world will tumble int
the abyss of irremediable disaster
