A BIBLE THOUGHT
FEAR DESTROYED: Fear thou not; for I am
with thee; be not dismayed; for 1 am thy God; I
will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I
will uphold thee with the right hand of my right-
eousness.—Isaiah 41:10.
THE CHANCE TO WORK
A speaker warned members of a graduat-
ing class the other day against taking ref-
uge behind the old fallacy that “tihe world
owes them a living.” He told them plainly
that they must earn ttheir living—something
that they would have found out soon enough
in any case.
As a matter of fact, all that most of these
youngsters ask of the world is the chance!
to earn a living—and that chance, during
the last several hard years, has too often
been denied them.
MOTHER’S DAY
Mother’s Day has become a national insti-
tution. In every part of the country its re-
currence on the second in May is greeted
each year with a wider observance.
In hundreds of churches either mother-
hood will 1 ihe sermon theme or there will
be sonu other form of recognition of the
an m vers;. y. Furthermore, thousands of
men and women unattached to churches but
keeping alive in them the one human love
which knows no rivalry, will honor the day'
kn their own individual ways.
Visiting Mother, or writing to Her, send-
ing Her a present, or wearing a flower in
Her memory if She has passed beyond our
mortal ken—each heart will speak to Her in
its own language. And happy are those who
do not have to speak to Her across the veil—•
VMho have not lost Her! What words are
there that compare with Home and Mother?
DISCI SSION . . . everywhere
In the past three weeks 1 have talked with literal-
ly hundreds of the oest-informed men in the coun-
try. They are the publishers and responsible edi-
tors of the nation's leading newspapers. Each of
them told me the same story. From coast to coast
the everyday people are discussing the nation’s po
litical, economic and social affairs with a degree of
freedom that has not been noticeable for more than
two years.
‘‘The panic is over,” said one. "The blind fear of
ruin has passed, and with it has passed the willing-
ness to follow anybody who promised to lead them
out of trouble.”
The American people are still in trouble, but
they are discussing the way out with clearer eyes
and a better understanding, not only of the causes
of their troubles but of the validity of the various
plans offered to alleviate them.
To my mind that is the most hopeful sign of the
times. America is coming back to its own when
its people begin to do their own political thinking.
POLITICS . . . Ihe battleground
Anyone who wants to change conditions which
affect any material number of people must ap-
proach his effort politically or he won’t get to first
base. That is the American method. If he has the
votes behind him he can, perhaps, accomplish the
change he advocates; if he hasn’t the votes his
hands are tied.
That is why Upton Sinclair and Father Cough
lin and Huey Long cut such an important figure in
present-day discussions of public affairs. Each of
them has a considerable body of potential votes
behind him. Upton Sinclair had more than 800,-
000 voters back of itis EPIC scheme in California;
nobody can guess how many Father Coughlin or
Senator Long might control, if it came to a show
down.
The principal question raised in political dis-
cussions today is whether or not there will be a
third party ticket in the field in 1936, led by one
of the gentlemen just named or some other radical.
If such a third party is launched it will draw votes
from among those who otherwise would naturally
support Mr. Roosevelt. He will certainly be renom-
inated, if he lives, but has he such a solid block of
Democratic partisans behind him that he can win
if the radical fringe is trimmed off? Enough for
example, to offset the 13 1-2 million votes, which
the election of 1934 demonstrated, stick to the Re
publican party through thick and thin?

Hint* On
HEALTH
By Ml. J. J. GAINES
There are just two plans. Either the pio-
pe use the government or th government
uses the people.
SOY BEANS A PROFITABLE PROP
Efforts are b- ing made to induce farmers
to grow soy beans on their surplus acreage.
Soy beans lhave been a profitable feed crop
in the Northern States for a number of years
and would be especially profitable here where
■oar oil mills are equipped to press the oil
out of the beans.
The Review would not advis. farmers to
go Strong on any new crop, but if every far-
mer would plant an acre of soy beans they
<t»nld d monstrate to their own satisfaction
if it is a profitable crop without incurring
a loss.
Concrete steps and walks are being put
down at Reed Memorial Hospital this week.
Mrs. Reed continues to improve the appear-
ance of this attractive property by putting
out flolwers and shrubbery. She is to he
commended for her interest in beautifying
it.
PARTIES . . . two or throe
Until the present Administration in Washington,
the main difference between the Republican and
Dev 'cratic parties was that one was in the seat of
power and the other was out. A man could be a
goo,' Republican and accept the Democratic plat-
form o! 1932, and vice versa. The vote that elected
Mr. Roccovclt a as not so much pro-Democratic as
it was a vote for change.
The acts and politics of the Administration in
the past two years have made a real difference be
fwecn the two great parties. The Democrats,
throwing their platfonrr overboard, embarked on
pobeies which sharply differentiate them from Re-
publicans, thus putting the Republican party def-
initely on the Conservative side of the political
fence.
The real political issue of 1936, therefore, seems
likely to he between a distinctly Conservative par-
ty which, if not definitely radical, is at least ting-
ed strongly with radicalism. It the Republicans
f"" introduce radical ideas, they will again be
ind’sl'ngulshable from the Democrats. It the Dem-
ocrats swing too far toward radicalism they will
lose great blocks of their Conservative voters; but
if thev do no‘. they are threatened by a radical
‘hud-party moverent.
DEFINITIONS . . . three classes
What, precisely, do we mean by such terms as
| Conservative, Liberal and radical ?
A Conservative is, I think, a person who has be
come adjusted to his environment, whatever that
may be. and who is able, therefore to take a de-
tached view of the wrorld and its people. Such a
person is opposed to hasty change and unproved ex-
periments.
A radical on the other hand is one who is find-
i mg trouble in fitting himself into the social picture,
and wants to change the whole system, in the belief
; that his troubles and those of his fellows are due to
J faulty organization of society.
A liberal, in the true definition of the word, is
one who is tolerant of all beliefs and of all minori-
ties and especially of the rights of the individual
man. He would neither suppress those who disagree
with him nor exalt unduly any class or clique. I
know many Conservatives who are also liberals; I
| cannot imagine a radical being a liberal.
CAPITOL NEWS AND COMMENT
AXW.’f '.%*■ W- \NW\NVS
By WRIGHT PATMAN.
New Settlers
An effort is being made to settle
many of the families of the
drouth and dust stricken areas on
land in East Texas, where there
is plenty of food, water, rain, good
land, good climate and no dust
storms. The Government is ex-
pected to finance the removal of
farmers to East Texas under cer-
tain requirements and limitations.
Tenant Bill
Notwithstanding the setback
of the bill which will permit ten
ants to buy homes on very low in-
terest rates and long terms, this
bill is expected to become a law
this session of Congress.
Banking Kill
The iUccles Banking Bill is a
long step in the right direction. It
will take the power to control mon-
ey and regulate its value away
from a few large bankers and vest
this power in a governmental
agency where it belongs and
where it will more likely be ad
ministrated in the public good.
The value of cotton depends not
so much on the supply and demand
of cotton, bin upon Lie supply and
demand of the American dollar
The price of m oney sets the price
of everything else. Therefore, it
is in the interest of the people
that the poaer that controls the
lever which regulates the supply
and demand of money and credit
should be exercised by a group
that will have the public interest
at heart and not profit for them-
selves I have confidence in Gov-
ernor Marriner S. Eccles, who i3
sponsoring this bill.
Farmers May Appeal
Any farmer may appeal from a
decision of the County Committee
on cases arising under the cotton
contract, the Bankhead Act and
landlord and tenant questions. The
appeal must be filed with the
County Committee and after be-
ing considered by that Committee
is then forwarded to the State Ad-
justment Board. A particular
date for a hearing is set and the
producer as well as a representa-
tive of the County Committee is
given an opportunity to appear
in person. Under certain condi-
tions, an appeal may be had from
that department to the division of
Cotton in V/ashington. Mr. C. A.
Cobb, director of this division, as-
sures me that these appeal cases
are being given very careful at-
tention.
"WILD GREENS”
Spring of the year. Such a re-
lief to get away from the routine’
drugs and chemicals; the smelly
box of pills; the musty powders;
the terrible throat gargles; let’s
go to the country for the after-
noon.
When we reach the creek valley
we dismount to gather a Vasket
of wild greens; no better food ob-
tainable nor more refreshing or
health giving. Growing in abun-
dance, the wild greens invite us to
come and gather as we choose
what we want.
Perhaps the first friend we run
across is the dandelion; his little
crispy circlets invite us every-
where. One of my patrons,
old lady, made a most chain
relish from crispy young di
lions; she never cooked tbei
all. She gathered them, cut I
with a mincing knife and
young radishes with them, se;

...WHAT OTHERS SAY...
ANYTHING FAN HAPPEN
The Texas Weekly believes it is possible that
Huey Long and Father Coughlin may create
enough dissatisfaction with the administration to
take from Roosevelt sufficient support to enable
the Republicans to win with less than a majority
of the public vote. Well, other men have been elect-
'd bv a minority vote, se there will be nothing es-
pecially remarkable if it should be done again in
1936. There are plenty of evidences that much of
the support won from the Republicans by the wet
platform and the promise of relief has become dis-
satisfied, but it is not probable that enough of it
will desert the Democrats in 1936 to make possible
Republican success. Certainly the Roosevelt sup-
port will increase between now and next November
if the huge relief fund succeeds in putting mil-
| lions to work anil brings a fair degree of improve-
; ment in business. But it isn’t any use to belittle
j ihe Weekly’s prediction of the possibilities ahead.

TEN GREAT MEN
Ten thousand ministers of all religious denominations were asked to
name ten greatest men in the Bible. It was not intended to include
the name of Jesus Christ, but still His name led many lists and would
of course, have stood first in all.
The 3t-’com* name in order of the number of votes is
that of St. Paul; the next is Moses, and the third, Da-
ey' ’ll vid. These are in practically all the lists. After these
,|i three the vote is more evenly distributed. The total
number of men named is sixty, and some of those that
have the smallest number of votes are accompanied
by the best reasons for inclusion. From this notable
list we select the following nar.es, not in the order of
their plurality but in chronological arrangement:
1. Adam, the first man with conscience and a
knowledge of moral responsibility.
2. Noah, the man on whom at one time hung the
> r.isc. Bow e hope of civilization.
3. Abraham, the prince of pioneers.
4. Joseph, political economist; man of vision and integrity.
5. Moses, lawgiver, creator of a nation, founder of the world’s
system of legislation.
6. David, shepherd, soldier, singer and king.
7. Jeremiah, most heroic of that heroic group, the prophets.
8. Judas Maccabaeus, the rebuilder of a nation.
9. John the Baptist, the nerald of the dawn.
10. Saint Paul, the apostle, traveler, author and martyr.
The reason for the larger number of names in the Old Testament is
doubtless to be explained by the longer period which it covers. The
New Testament narrative, from the beginning of the ministry of Jes
us until the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, is only about forty
years, whereas the Old Testament traverses many centuries.
ADAM: Whether you get your story of creation from Genesis or
from Mr. Wells, the broad outlines are the same a formless mass
of matter in motion, evolving gradually into land and water, produc-
ing vegetation, and the lowest forms of life. Then higher forms, and
still higher, until finally there came one amazing individual who rais
ed himself upon his lower limbs and dared to say, "I am different from
the rest.”
At first he had a hard time defining the difference. He ate and
drank like other animals. He reproduced his species in the same gross
sensual way. The lusts of appetite ran in his veins with as hot a
tide as in the lieasts about him. He killed other animals and ate their
raw and quivering flesh. Yet he was not like them. lie walked un
steadily in an eroct posture, and that was a distinction of no small
significance, for it left the upper limbs free to serve the head.
