Minister to the.
Gresnbelt Community Church

Something that is repeated Sunday after Sunday
is the Lords Prayer in churches tends to lose
the freshness and vitality which Jesus meant it
should have. A great Christian nobleman, Walter
Rauschenbusch by name, wrote concerning the
Prayer of Lord.
"The Lords Prayer is recognized the plrest
preston Of the mind Of Jesus. It crysta1lizes his
thoughts. It conveys the atmosphere Of his ch1ike
trust in the Father. It gives proof of the transpar
ent clearness and peace of his soul.
NIT first took shape protest against the
wordy flattery with wichm tried to Wheedle their
gods. He demanded simplicity and sincerity in all
expressions of re11 gion, and offered this
ample of the straightforwardness with which
might with their Father. Hence the brevity and
conciseness of 1T.
nThe Lords Prayer is familiar to that few
have stopped to understand it. The general tragedy
Of understanding wi chns followed Jesus through
model prayer also. He gave it to stop vain repeti
tions, and it has been turned into contrivance for
incessant repetition.
1.-THE churches have employed it for their ecc1es1-
ast1ca1 ritual. Yet 1t Is not ecclesiastical There
is hint in it of the Church, the ministry, the
doctrines of theology,or the sacranentsthough the
Latin lgate has turned the petition for the dai
bread into prayer for the sper-substantia1 bread
of the sacrament.
personal reli dous life. It is, indeed profoundly
personal. But its deepest Significance for the in
vtdual is revealed only when he dedicateshs person
atty to the vaster purposes of the kingdom Of God,
approaches all his sonal problems from that
point of view. Then he enters both into the real
meaning of the lords Prayer, and into the spirit
Of the Lord himself"
We will continue with Dr.. Rauschenbusch's dis
cussion of this famous Prayer next week.

Withdraw Of
Smith Raises

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
By HENRY AVERHL

Raleigh, Feb. EXPERIMENTATION of
gubernatorial aSccrations by Willis
Smith has set the political. gallery
to wondering where some of the most
powerful Smith support will even
tually land.
There isrmore than little specu-
lation over future actions of form
er Governor J. c. B. Ehringhaus,
Major l.. p McLendon of Greensboro
and Smiths father-in-law, Tom Lee
OF Haywood for instance.
Nobody seems TO have any clear
idea about it, but there is rather
definite impression that either Com
missioner of Revenue Allen J. Max
we'll or J. M. Broughton will get
the benefit of this residuary of the
Smith alignmentS.
Incidentally, Smith makes no sec
ret of the fact that he would today
be an announced candidate for gov
ernor if he could have located your
Raleigh reporter on the late even
ing of Tuesday, January 80. His
platform was mimeographed and the
letter writing concern had the whole
bundle Of them ready to mail out to
Jail newspapers Of North Carolina.
The Raleigh lawyer. however. had
promised to give this corner infor-
nation as to the time Of release Of
his announcements. It was long after
afternoon newspaper hours ana your
reporter lives in the country about
five miles out from the Capitol. AS
result Smith did not get in touch
with him until the next day, and
by that time the Smith resolution to
run had begun to weaken. The more
he thought about it, the less he
thought of it, with the result a final
decision not to make the race at all.
There are indications that the usual
'Whittling" technique is about to be
applied to the Maxwell candidacy
a fact which indicates that the Com
missioner OF Revenue is now believ-
ed to be top man of the gubernatorial
group.
Here's the way it goes: Four or
five months ago, Lieutenant Cover
nor w. P. Horton was almost uni
formerly regarded as out in front. You
could get even money he'd be the
next governor.
So they all ganged up on him.
Horton will not have administra-
ton backing and won't even run"
went out the word. And first thing
you know, Horton was being counted
out. His chances received a setback
from which they just begin to show
signs of recovering.
After Horton had been "Whittled
down" the front position went to J.
M. Broughton. The Raleigh lawyer
was said to have administration sup
port, to be the beloved of Senator
Bailey and the must" man of Ralph
Mcdonald.
But recently everybody has been
banging at the Broughton candidacy.
From the West come reports that
they now rank Horton, Maxwell,
Broughton" out that way. Paul
Grady was beguiled into the race,
with a referendum plank aimed
squarely at the Raleigh lawyer.
All of which is beginning to have

Of
Patrol Vary
With Areas
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Feb. ga comparison of
total fatalities in highway accidents
with the humber Of such fatalities
investigated by the State Highway
Patrol reveals that in the territory
patrolled by Troops c and ID. Trough
ly speaking, western North Carolina)
less than half of the total are probed
by members of Captain L. R. Fishers
forces. while in the territory in which
Troops A and B (roughly, eastern
North Carolina) three-fourths of the
fatal crashes are investigated by Cap
tain Charles Farmers troopers.
For the CD region figures from
the Highway Safety Divisions annual
report show that there were 48i
deaths, while Captain Fishers annual
report reveals that his men inves-
tigated PA, or considerably less than
half.
In the ALB Troop territory there
were 459 traffic deaths in 1889, with
Captain Farmers men on hand to in
Vestigate in BIT cases, or approx
mately three-fourths.
Recently, publication of the Fisher
report was misinterpreted to mean
that there were only PA fatalities in
the West against 729 in the east;
with a result that General Mecklen-
burg" in the Charlotte Observer of
last Sunday wrote quite a letter
about it. .... -....
On the face of the correct figures
there is an off-hand indication that
the parolmen in the east are far
more active than those in the west;
but here again there is danger of in
correct and hasty deductions, because
it must be remembered that Ii" pa
troll does not investigate ac d"tttS
which occur within the limits he
larger citieS-and it may We'll be
that a much larger percent OF the
western fatalities occurred in urban
centers than in the east
Further delving into patrol activity
reports indicates that the two general
divisions are probably about equally
alert and on the job.
The ABB boys, for instance, held
an edge in number Of accidents in
vestigated-2,l43 to 1899 for the
CD group. On the other hand the
Fisher forces inspected 166,370 We
hicles during last year while the Far
mer cohorts inspected l27,905.
Eastern patrolmen were on duty
a total of 305, 734 hours, against 27l,-
588 for those in the West; but east
ern officers made fewer arrests than
the westerners, 1881 to 14,139.
Other comparisons showed: Value
of property recovered: East, $780,
22l; West, S93,732. Fines: East $ll8,-

etc. East Sl52,932, West S205.5l7..
Ronald Hocutt, Highway Safety
Director, had no invidious comparison
to draw, his only comment on the
situation is that there were too many
fatalities, injuries and accidents III
both East and West, no matter what
percentage Of them were investigated
or unnvestigated by members of the
