thought stirred to new depths, our
time is discovering that all the good
goals of human existence are repre-
Sented by God. We confess that the
old theologians understood the chief
end Of man better than our con-
temporary highbrows.
Ages before the catechisms were
written. the Hebrew psalmists had
set forth the truth that God is the
end as well as the beginning of
life. They were never in the fog
concerning the greatness of God.
Self-inflated moderns may speculate
endlessly concerning the nature of
the Deity; and try to reduce Him
to formula of formlesSness; but
the pSalmists saw clearly that God
was not only the Creator and Ruler
of all life, but also that His char
acter calls for mans alteration.
That is the highest act of man
to be able to worship the living God.
The human soul is capable of no
greater expression than that of in
tellgent. reverent alteration of the
Supreme Being Man is loftieSt
when lowliest on his knees. For this
act argues a reciprocal divinity in
man: He is able, in some degree, to
comprehend his Heavenly Father.
and to know himself a son of God.
The child may exult in the Parent S
qualities, and cry aloud His praises.
Unthinking persons disregard the
church, and formal, public worship
of God: not realizing that the NOR
tai spirit is achieving its noblest
expression when it is doing honor
to the Lord of all. Only when some
vast tragedy descends upon human
ity do the people turn instinctively
to God, in recognition of a primal
need in themselves. Even the popu-
lar song of the day in the United
States is God Bless America. -
Great Britain's peak of imperial
consciousness came in Kipling S
''RecesSional," with its recognition
Of the God of our fathers" The
present crisis may we'll produce the
answer to the PsalmistS cry. 20
sing unto the Lord a new song
But only a profound sense of rev.
erence and of human unworthiness
can create such song: Kipling
threw into the waste basket, as in
adequate, his "Recessional," which
was rescued by an American guest
Tapping Deep Springs.
New and greater powers are i'm
parted to the spirit which, conscious
OF God, joins the univerSe'S chorus
Of praise to Him. Even modern
psychology recognizes this. Self
.centered, discontented, petulant per-
sons impair their own powers. But
grateful, cheerful, unselfish folk be-
come strong in their own souls. To
maintain a spirit of praisefulneSs
and alteration is a definite source
of power. This is the truth which

fusion attending Wendell WILKES
campaign is more marked nowhere
than in Tennessee. There are really
two campaigns.
One is conducted by the weak but
regular G. o. P. State organization,
which has attached a State ticket to
Mr.. WILKES coattails and pretends
to hope to sweep it into offlce with
Mr.. Willkie in another revolt similar
to the 1920 Harding and the 1928
Hoover victories 1t campaigns as
Republicans against the Democrats.
The second has been launched by
self-styled true" Democrats, who
advance Mr.. Willkie as one of their
number and their leader. They call
for votes from Democrats to save the
Democratic party a suggestion novel
to Tennessee voters. This group
campaigns as Democrats against the
New Deal. It repudiates any con-
nection with the first; and the reg
ular Republicans, while gratefully
accepting any support, have no open
tie with the Willkiecrats.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 28.-The
statisticians in Ohio are busy these
days figuring out straw vote per-
centages and what they might mean.
The Republican mathematician are
greatly heartened, for of the many
polls being taken in Ohio, only one
shows the State in the New Deal
column There are three other
major ones which. if they are &C
curate in any close degree, show q
mighty switch on the part OF the
electorate from the almost solid sup
port given President Roosevelt in
1896. AS result the gloom which
as recently as a week ago had spread
through Republican ranks has been
dispelled.
Two of the three polls rejecting
the switch are Statewide and the
other is confined to Cuyahoga Coun-
ty, the strongest New Deal corner Of
the State. Fortunately these polls
are so arranged as to give three diff
ferent aspects of sentiment.
The first, for instance, has not at

Stassen Removes Self

Dither Over Lundeen
Successor Vies With

Bv JERRY VESSELS,
Special Correspondent OF The Star.

MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 28-Run-
ming a close second in Minnesota
now to the conjecture over Wendell
WILKES chances of carrying the
State is the dither over the final
choice of a successor to the late
Senator Ernest Lundeen. killed in an
airplane crash at Lovettsville. Va.
The man to serve the remaining
two years of Senator Lundeens six
year term will be picked by Gov.
Harold E. Stassen.
When the fatal crash occurred five
weeks ago today Minnesota was in
the midst of a warm primary cam
paign and Gov. Stassen said he
would delay action until after the
election This action did not de-
crease pressure put on him in behalf
Of scores Of candidates, and within
three weeks the names of 80 persons
had been filed in the executive Offices
Gov. Stassen finally cleared up
some puzZling points by formal
statement that he himself was not
interested in the Senate job Pre-
viously. the Nations youngest State
chief executive permitted the idea
to prevail that he would seek sec
ond term this year and then run for
the Senate in 1912. when Senator
LundeeH's term expires.
Gov. StaSSen said he had dropped
any personal ambitions for the Sen
ate, and that the appointment he
would make would be with the idea
of having the appointee qualify as
the best man in 1912
This scrapped chatter about his
naming some one with the idea that
the appointee would step aside for
him when the choice for the full
six-year term is made.
One of the names most prominent
~ mentioned for the post is that of
Representative Andersen of the 1st
district Another is Representative
Mas of the 4th.
Others believed to be considered
by the Governor include DR.. Donald
Cowling. president of Carleton Col
lege: State Senator Charles N. Orr.
majority leader in the upper State
legislative branch, and State Sen
ator Michael Calvin. who as chair
man of Senate committee. helped

Virginian of every vestige of pat

price indeed for a Senator to pay

from West Virginia. He thrives on
treatment that would crush the
spirit of the ordinary man.
Is he ruined politically? Well,

New Mexico Democrats
Feel Roosevelt Will Repeai
BY A. N. MORGAN,

Special Correspondent of The Star.
SANTA FE, N. Mex, Sept. 28.-
While Wendell Willkie drew at AL
buquerque what Republicans call
New Mexico's biggest crowd" DEM
ocratic leaders were gaining conf
dence in President Roosevelt's abil-
ity to repeat his performances of
1882 and 1886 and carry the State
again.
The recent primary campaign, al
most exclusively a Democratic show,
gave them an opportunity to as
certain the trend of sentiment. They
contend that the basic Roosevelt
following of the past is standing
practically solid-the workers and
farmers.
As the result of the contest for
the Democratic senatorial nomina-
ton between Senator Chavez and
Representative Dempsey, now
thrown into the courts, the possibil-
ity loomed of New Mexico's send
ing Republican Senator to Wash
ington. It is believed there will be
some swing from the Dempsey fol-
lowing to Albert K. Mitchell, Re-
publican, for the Senate. yet its ex-
tent is problematical. On the basis
Of registration, there is an almost
overwhelming majority to be over
