BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
A GREAT PRAYER—“God for
bid we should forsake the Lord."”
Jos. 24:16. I
UNDERWOOD STARTED IT ALL
The editor of the Macon Telegraph
takes time to criticise the winning
candidate for the governorship for
taking ad\fpfilge of the . Al, Smith
bugaboo_in Alabama. It. was the
most natyral thing in the world. Bibb
Graves wasn't the first man at this
game. Oscar Uniderwdqd ‘wah | the
guy. There was tot a particle of
excuse on the part of Senator Under
wood when he was campaigning for
the democratic nomination to step out
of the way and drag the Klan into
his fight. Underwood was the can
didate of big business, but he also
knew the Al Smith situation. He
thought possibly that a fight on the
Klan might throw him directly in line
for the Al Smith support when it
came time for the lightening to strike
in the New York convention,
The real truth was that nobody in
that convention had more utter con.
tempt~for Oscar Underwood and his
sout @i aelegation in the New York
conviilitidh than did Al Smith’s
friends. They would not have wiped
their feet on Underwood and the
Alabama governor in that convention.
'l‘lloyi‘Z didn’t even have passing res
pectl;ior them, much less any inclina
tion fo turn to Underwood to breal
the deadlock. And if it were to be
done’:over, it would be the same
(hlnq} It was a Catholic fight to the
deltfi‘ with everything else but Cath
olic. ;- No man coming out of the
loutsswould suit them. They wanted
a Catholic. Underwood didn't come
from :the right territory. Alabama
tsn't iCatholic, was not Catholic then,
and I 8 not likely to be Catholic in
a tht}psand years.
Osgar Underwood's friends truly
had 14 hundred opportunities to go
over:to Al Smith in the New York
convfimon. but they knew better than
to 80. On the other hand, Al
Bmss friends - had a l\nmlred
chanbes to go over to*Oscar Under.'
wodll: They didn't go. It isn't that
—th§l's ugt the frouble, =~
r Underwobd ‘went to 'a New
Yord#: national democratic. ¢onvention
in 1924 flgflh{g‘ the Ku Klux Klan.
Tha was exactly the platform of Al
Sm‘li. The platform committee met
and ';hrafte(\ a platform with many
goodgthings in it, brought it out and
got Ehe convention to adopt it, but
it di@n't represent anything. There
wasgmt one issue—Klan and anti-
Klm@" Catholic and Protestant—Clan
ne ifi:ael and Ku Klux Klan—these
weref%the issues. Oscar Underwood
did Q much as any other one man
in Aélerica to make that an issue I“I
a pl§ce where it should never have
beenjé—-:;in the remotest thought of a
singfof person.
Ou-'-_::ar Underwood's friends in Ala
bami not only opposed the best man
the oest man the democrats had, but
' vimade it against the law for Bill
offer as a candidate for
nomination in the Al.
ntial primary—actually
‘,%.flm out of the state, Un.
A~ ¥ nd Underwood's (riends
fer why Bibb Graves is the
‘ ‘al nominee in Alabama to.
li'o not surprised. It
! patural thing in the
was a candidate
Q nomin on the
i \l* Nt-‘
but one issue and Underwood helped
make it. It is an issue—an issue in
Llabama as it ig still all over the
country. Religious wars are not
over in a day. It takes generations
to eliminate them, There will be
more of this same damnable thing in
Alabama politics—more in Georgia—
more all over the nation—and even
cown in Mexico,
Alabama feared Al Smith because
free-born American citizen down
there had been taught to fear Rome,
That fear of Rome came through a
religious war, It is there—it will re.
main there, no matter how uncalled
for was that war, Underwood was
one of the first to fan the fire of
religious hatred, He yelled Klan—
and those who think another way
yelled Catholic—there is the reason
Bibb Graves is the Alabama nominee.
We need not blame Graves,
YOU CAN DO THIS
It the people who want notices run
in The Dispatch about the various
church and civic activities in the com
munities will meet us half way in
‘these things, we will have less
trouble with a thing that is becoming
a great time killer for a force of
mighty busy people,
. nstead of telephoning a church no.
tice or a civic club announcement or
#;fl!b“!l School event, those who
Want .o use the newspaper for these
things will confer a great favor up
on the Dispatch if they will write
these things on one side of the paper,
leaving room at the top for the head
ing and for editing on the side mar
ging, and send down the day prior
or mail to the Dispatch-—or bring in
person. This will save a great deal
of time at the business office of the
paper where Ihose‘ who have their
time engaged in trying to get out the
paper on time, do not find it possible
to handle these notices over the lele.‘
phone. I
The paper is open to all these
causes. Notices for the public may
be sent for any good cause. There
is no charge made for such notices.
The paper will always gladly run them
where they deserve to be run. But
that much assistance and cooperatlon
is needed—greatly needed.
This is a growing communl!i'. Many
good people are trying to do many
good things. The home newspaper
must help all of them. That is to
bhe expected. We should not want to
make a complaint against heiping any
good cause, On the other hand we
want a part in bringing the good
things to actual realization. We do
not want to be stingy or selfish—
never intend to be that. We are
‘more than happy to find any person
lor group of persons aiming at some
}lhing unselfish for the good of the
community.
But here is the secret: Most of
our people hold a great pride in the
‘l\_omo paper. They believe they have
the best' small town daily newspaper
in this country. Whether this be
thue or mot is for the local public
IJ decide. The seeret of it all is
that the employes each undertake (o
fill several places, so that the in.
come will meet the expenses. We
are a thriving business community,
but the daily newspaper issued here
avery afternoon, day in and day out,
in good seasons and in dull, costs
much more money than the average
person understands. If we keep alead
cach employve must do a great deal
of work. All of us are busy as bees
every work hour in the day, w I
Thus, it is easy to see that if all|
the public notices for the various or
ganizations were taken over the
Iphono each day, it would make an.
Im her emplovee necessary where there
is no income to meet it. All these
things have been figured out. They
are a matter of close attention every
day. To have as good a newspaper
as we have, we must expend all the
income in most economic manner. lr!
we operated in a metropolitan elty/
where our charges for ud\'ertill:l:l
might justify enlargement, then it |
would be our fault if the organiztion !
were not large enough to take I.nel
of all needs, |
The Dispatch wants to have part inl
every good cause in the communiry I
The public in turn, we believe, y :ll‘.‘\s;
0 have part in the malé\pr a gon\]i
spaper for the Jowse Tho v,
really do want to hely will confer
no little favor by delivering all no
tices to the paper instoad of trying
to use the telcphone.
DO NOT BLAME MEXICO
Mexico, it must he remembered, is
legally recognizing all the oil and
mining concessions whicli have heen
granted down there, The government
18 now seeking with all good sense
to avoid forther exploitation from
outeide sources. The new laws fix
the oil and the coal and the iron de

of the people of Mexico. In future
these natural riches caunot be plun
dered and wasted by forcigners. In
this country it is the sam-, A Japan

of them—can come into the United
States and exploit the natural re.
sources as Americans, British, Japan

We cannot blame the Mexican gov
ernment for closing the doors there
against further waste of Mexican
national resources in that manner. It
is but the wisest sort of move, and

Coolidge and Kellogg I«'iIl move with
great caution .and secrecy, as has al

in the news matter ,fimt is coming

Ambassador Sheffied. it is noised

the envoy of this government when
he comes home in the near future,
The intimation given out is that this
country does not care to “buddie”
with a nation that dares (o separate
its civic affairs fromy the Roman
church. It isn’t hard h(u see that this
is all propaganda intemded to stir up
animosity of the American people

would not be such a fool. Having
been fool enough to try to please her
in this manner, she probably never
quite forgave him for his folly
She would have preferred him bowed
