NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The fol-
lowing is taken from an article,
famous In the Catholic press of the
United States, by Father Daniel
A. Lord, the noted Jesuit journalist
of st. Louis. It was first published
in the Jesuit paper, the Queens
Work, in November, 1898, under
Catholic Politician who is an I'm
Catholic Boss" It is slightly alb
breviated here:
Dear Sir: Forgive us for not
addressing you by name. We have
a number Of reasons for not using
your name, chief among which is
the fact that you have too many
names. You see, we are fully con-
vinced that there are too, too many
Of you.
You're really quite powerful il
your city. You are generally
known as the boss; you give or
ders and things get done. You've
large piles of money-suspiciously
large piles Of it-and through your
office flows a constant stream of
people who ask you for favors
which you either benignly grant or
tactfully refuse.
You ire a 'devout' Catholic, and
your contributions to your parish
and to Catholic charities in gen
eral are both notable and widely
noted. You speak at communion
breakfasts.
"Yet the other night, when a
group of Catholics were talking
and your name was mentioned,
someone made this statement:
Well probably see a persecution
OF Catholics in this country within
the next few years, and one of the
prime causes Of that persecution
is - and he mentioned-your
name.
He pointed out that somehow
the public insisted on confusing
your religion with your politics.
And he frankly thought that your
peculiar kind of political conduct
was making honest non-Catholics
hate Catholics.
Surely you have noticed that q

GOING AFTER STATE BUSINESS
WinstOn-Salem Journal

No longer content to wait for business and
industry incidental to the defense program,
etc., to come to it in haphazard manner,
North Carolina plans to 60 after these things.
A group of fifty North Carolina leaders
headed by Governor Hoey is laying plans for
the opening of an office in Washington to
look after the interests of the Old North State
with reference to national defense industries
and contracts.
The plan fits in with the 'Ten-Year Balanc-
ed Prosperity movement, and the director
of the Washington office is to cooperate with
the State Department of Conservation and
Development in advancing the industrial phase
of the program designed to draw out the full
potentia1ities of North Cardinals vast and
varied natural resources.
This Washington office idea is somewhat
novel to North Carolinians, but it bears all the
ear marks of the practical. Such an office,
working in close cooperation with the industri-
al division and the advertising committee of
the Conservation and Development Depart
ment, as well as with alert chambers Of COM
merce and other organizations in the Com
monwealth, should be able to accomplish much
in placing the advantages and resources OF
North Carolina before the nation.

To Stand Against

Chapel Hill, Jan. 27.-(AP)-
StreSsing the eminence OF totalitar-

ughout the world, Dr.. George S.
Counts, of Columbia university, au-
thority on secondary education, APP
pealed to a university audience here
last night to "stand together against
all totalitarian tendencies, regardless
of your other political beliefs OF af-
filiations".
LAS teachers" DR.. Counts said, 1--WE
should band together in the defense
OF academic freedom and co-opera-
ton with all friendly forces in our
society. We should also strive TO rear
a generation loyal to the great demo-
cratic faith in the human mind"
Dr. Counts spoke in Gerard hall
last night after appearing before a
number of seminar classes yesterday
morning. The local chapter OF the
American Federation of Teachers, OF
which he is national president, en-
tertained him at luncheon at the
Carolina inn at noon.
Speaking on academic freedom in
time Of crisis, DR.. Counts said, Faith
in the human mind is perhaps the
most fundamental article in the lib
eral democratic faith which has been
expressed in constitutional pro-
visions, political arrangements, and
in powerful traditions which have
been developed through the CEN

barber here, has had the experience
He has been confined in GoldsDoro
hospital for several weeks and We'd
nesday the report reached Mt. Olive
that Lomax was dead.
His wife was called to his bedside
and local friends began mourning.
Mt. Olive and Goldsboro newspapers
acting upon information given by
friends of the Lomax family printed
the death notice. 1t was later learned
that Lomax was improving and had
received quite kick out of reading
his obituary notices in the two pap
ers. If he survives the shock of read
ing about his own death, 1t IS ex-
pected that he will recover.
