POLL MISSES BOAT AGAIN
The Texas Poll, frequently called the
elden poll, missed the boat again in the
tee for United States senator by over-
Jjtimating the strength of Lyndon John-
>n and under-rating all the other op-
onents.
The jnost ridiculous thing was that the
poll said that there were more supporters
of Stevenson, but they would not vote and
that Johnson would lead the primary. The
final poll showed a great injustice to Coke
Stevenson because it rated him slightly
under Johnson. Previous polls had shown
that Stevenson was substantially ahead.
Based on the voting as reported Mon-
day morning with 866,821 votes counted
percentage was: Stevenson 40.42 per cent;
Johnson 33.21; Peddy 18.88; others 7.49
per cent.
Final Texas poll was: Johnson 41.9 per
cent; Stevenson 39.1; Peddy 16, others 3
per cent. »
Two years ago the poll missed the boat
in connection with Beauford Jester’s plu-
rality over H. P. Rainey. The poll misled
the people in the Jester-Rainey first pri-
mary vote two years ago just as it did in
the Stevenson-Johnson race this year..
The poll has headquarters at Austin, the
hot bed of support of candidates like
Rainey and Johnson. It looks like that some
better system is going to have to be de-
veloped for obtaining an accurate vote in
sap or tan t races.
Jester in 1946 and Stevenson in 1948
ave been the victims of injustice in the
*lnal polls. Jester’s strength was not rec-
ognized in 1946. And in the 1948 sena-
torial poll, everything was wrong. Johnson
was greatly over-rated, which was unfair
to all other candidates. Stevenson and
Peddy were under-rated; also, the strength
of the scattering candidates was given as
3 per cent when around 7V2 Per cent of
the vote was polled by them.
This newspaper is not against Gallup
and Texas polls, but it Is rather aggravat-
ing to have injustice done to candidates in
which the people of this state are sincerely
interested.

COKE LEADS AS EXPECTED
Ex-Gov. Stevenson led the race for
United States senator last Saturday. It was
within the realm of possibility for Coke
to have won the first primary without a
runoff.
The vote for his principal opponent was
lighter than some persons expected, but
both leading candidates lost some support
to other candidates, including George
Peddy, who was in third place. The extra
strength shown by Peddy and the mis-
cellaneous candidates cost Stevenson the
election without a runoff.
But Coke Stevenson supporters are not
disappointed. Stevenson received more
than 40 per cent of the votes while Lyn-
don Johnson was down to 33 per cent.
That gave the other candidates between
26 and 27 per cent.
It will take less than 10 per cent of the
other 26 or 27 per cent for Coke Stevenson
to win the runoff, while his opponent will
have to get almost 17 per cent. The battle
is all on the side of Stevenson. -
Common sense also indicates that Peddy
supporters are more of the type that would
support Coke Stevenson. In fact, the out-
look is so favorable that the smart thing
for Johnson to do is to withdraw. John-
son’s withdrawal would enable Carson
county not to have a runoff primary for the
first time in history.
With all the vast organization that John-
son had and yet so far down in the voting,
he has been repudiated by the people. He
should get out of the runoff and be man
enough to tell Coke Stevenson that he
(Coke) represents the choice of Texans
for United States senator.
Runoff primary date is Saturday, Aug.
28. If Johnson does not withdraw, then
get ready to go to the polls and cast a vote
for the next United States senator, Coke
Stevenson.

PREDICTS HERALD MAN
WILL EAT EDITORIAL
Panhandle Herald
Panhandle, Texas
I can say one thing in your
favor—your editorial matter is
controversial enough to make the
man on the other side of the
fence plenty mad. This makes good
reader interest, and is your per-
fect right to say what you wish.
But it seems to me, Mr. Editor,
that you would get tired of being
wrong ALL THE TIME. I cite
the most recent fallacy appearing
I in your column; that ignoiaut
prediction that “Sleepy Coke
I Stevenson will be the next sena -
tor without a runoff. Well, sir,
|,I also e$n make predictions, ^nd
if I chose to it would be one
saying something to the effect
that the editor of The Herald will
be eating his own editorial, which
I have clipped out and am in-
closing.
Please pardon my differences,
and don’t think of me as a “I
told you so” sort of person, but,
Dear Ed., I TOLD YOU SO.
Sincerely yours,
J. PENROD TOLES.

0 ARUCH, whose name means
-Ej “blessed,” was the grandson
of Maaseiah, “governor of the city”
under Josiah (II Chronicles 34:8),
and his father, Ner-
iah, appears to have
been an official dur-
ing the reign of
Jehoiakim. He was a
trusted friend of Jer-
emiah (Jeremiah 32:
6-15 and 43:5-6). Tra-
dition holds that
Baruch was carried
to Babylon, where he
wrote the apocryphal
‘‘Book of Baruch,”
and died in 574, B.C.,
twelve years after
the fall of Jerusalem.
Our golden text for this lesson is
found in Psalms 119:105, “Thy
word is a lamp unto my feet, and
light unto my path."
* * *
OUR BIBLE *
Urr-qiEN Jeremiah called Baruch,
X the son of Neriah, and
Baruch wrote from the mouth of
Jeremiah all the words of the Lord,
which he had spoken unto him,
upon a roll of a book. And Jere-
miah commanded Baruch, saying,
1 am shut up; I cannot go into the
house of the Lord. Therefore go
thou, and read in the roll, which
thou hast written from my mouth,
the words of the Lord in the ears
of the people in the Lord’s house
upon the fasting day; and also thou
shalt read them in the ears of all
Judah that come out of the cities,”
Jeremiah 36:4-8.
How did we get our Bible?
Through this simple process of God
speaking through his appointed
prophet, and by the faithful work
of men like Baruch who served as
scribes.
* * *
THIS SCRIBE OF LONG AGO
TN the introductory paragraph I
x sketched briefly the story of
Baruch. He was a trained man,
trusted and beloved. This he had to
be, else God would not have ap-
proved Jeremiah’s selection of Bar-
uch to copy what he was saying
for God. And not only was he se-
lected to write down what God was
saying, through his prophet, but he
was used to proclaim the words of
God' to the people in the Lord’s
house. Baruch was amanuensis,
reader and distributor of the Bible
—a distinguished role, indeed. Let
us today be gladly ready to read
the Bible to others, and to distribute
and circulate the Scriptures wherev-
er we may. Here I pause to pay
tribute to the American Bible So-
ciety and all others, including the
Gideons, who help to make the
Bible known to all men everywhere.
* * *
A MAN ON WHOM GOD COUNTED
npHUS we see that Baruch was
JL a man on whom God counted.
His work was done well, and we
read that, “When they heard all the
words, they were afraid both one
and' other, and said unto Baruch,
We will surely tell the king of all
these words.”
Young people will do well to pon-
der this incident. In the varied
contacts of young Christians in this
modern day, we may be used of
the Holy Spirit in making known
the words of God in countless ways.
Thus, like Baruch, you may be
used of God to make known his will
unto all mankind.
BARUCH, A COURAGEOUS
SCRIBE
npHE full context reveals the fact
A that Baruch exhibited courage
as well as faithfulness in his serv-
ice as scribe to Jeremiah. It was
not an easy task. Nor will it be
easy to fill our posts as couriers
of the Good News. But it was a
rewarding experience for Baruch.
He served his day and generation
according to the will of God.
Mr. Henry Ford, Sr., believed in
having a copy of the Bible near at
hand wherever he might sit down
in his home. I heard him say once
that he had a Bible on every table
in his home. “I do this in order that
I may reach over and spend a few
minutes with the Lord wherever I
may sit down. And I always cher-
ish the hope that others will find it a
lamp unto their feet and a light
along their daily pathway.”
Let us give thanks for Baruch—
the trusted friend who served Jere-
miah, and thus served God.
Divine Comedy Hlustrator
Gustave Dore, who illustrated
Dante’s “Divine Comedy”, was
born on January 6, 1832. Dore,
known all over the world before he
was 20 years old, was immensely
successful. He drew his composi-
tions directly on the surface of
wood blocks, which were cut by
various engravers. Dore’s draw-
ings have vivid reality, conveying
the horrors of hell as no other il-
lustrator has ever done.
Source of Cinnamon
Moiit cinnamon used in America
is the powdered bark of the cassia
tree, which is more pungent than
the bark of the true cinnamon
tree.
Mosquito Control
Complete control of the diseases
carried by mosquitoes and black
flies can now be achieved by blank-
eting large areas with fogs of DDT.
