Farley Will Visit
Texas to See His
Friend John Gamer
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—(£*)—
Postmaster General “Jim” Parley’s
October visit to Texas—to “meet
and do honor to his friend John
Gamer”—as the official announce
ment put it—apparently will be
tfjust that.
Texans in Washington, in the
congressional delegation and out
of it, have been trying ever since
Silllman Evans made the announce
ment to figure out what political
significance, if any, the trip will
have. But the answer always is
the same—none.
Parley’s expressed Intention to
attend the opening race at Arling
ton Downs will add color to tne
event. It will be the first major
race Texas has seen in decades
where legalised wagering obtains.
The list of Texas congressmen
who will speak during the Parley
tour, which will touch Port Worth,
Dallas, Houston and San Antonio,
does not contain the name of Sen.
Morris Sheppard. The reason given
was that he already had accepted
speaking engagements out of the
state. The senator, known nation
ally for his ancient and unchang
ing espousal of prohibition, confirms
that. He had engagements already
booked, he said, for speeches in
various southwestern points under
auspices of the Woodmen of the
World.

The agricultural adjustment ad
ministration’s recent hearing on a
proposed “code” for the citrus in
dustry brought forth an unusual
apparent accord by the citrus men
of the state. Florida representatives
were contentious all the way
through on this and that point of
Jthe code; California’s agreement,
wtoo, met pointed objections here
and there. But when C. O. Miles,
representative of certain coopera
tives in the Valley, get up to ex
plain the Texas code he did so
without hot ile interruption and
without need of rebuttal. No voice
from Texas, or elsewhere so far as
t the record showed, was raised
against it.
Miles appeared after the recent
hurricane had swept the soutn
eastern citrus area, and was per
mitted to take up the Texas agree
ment out of turn because urgent
telegrams from the Valley, ana
advices from the office of Rep
resentative West of Brownsville,
even then were telling of the pros
pect of a disastrous flood down »*he
Rio Grande—a prospect that did
not materialize.
“Mr. Chairman,” Miles said, “I’ve
got to exfflain this code and get
through here. I’ve got to get busy
right away on relief work.”
And so in a crowded hall quieted
by realization of the apparent near
approach of a new terror for the
Rio Grande country he hurriedly
read and explained the Texas agree
ment.
Finished, he asked that Texas be
exempted this season from any ex
pense incurred by operation of the
national code. Florida and Califor
nia men interrupted each other in
their eagerness to endorse his pro
posal. But they suggested, too, that
it be officially stated all expense
of the national plan would be
borne by states other than Texas.
Miles, while appreciative of the
spirit, didn’t agree entirely with the
way It was put.
"I thank you—thank you very
much,” he told the Floridans and
Californians. “But putting it that
way might sound a little too much
like charity to those rather in
dividualistic old Texas boys down
there. Since obviously there Isn’t
going to by any need of proration
of citrus (contemplated in exigen
cies by the national plan) down in
Texas, let’s Just agree that Texas
won’t have to bear any expense of
the national agreement this year
and let it go at that.” So it was
agreed.
Some 45,000 communities in the
U. S. are accessible only by high
ways.

STAR IN ‘3 CORNERED MOON*
“That’s nice!” is Mary Boland’s comment on everything that happens
in “Three-Cornered Moon”, latest Paramount hit, showing Friday and
Saturday at the Capitol Theatre. As head of the “crazy” Rimplegar
family, she is co-starred with Claudette Colbert and Richard Arlen.
No matter what happens, she says, “That’s nice!” even when it’s as
momentous an event as butting in on this love scene.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
The International Uniform Sun- I
day School Lesson for Sept. 24.
Golden Text: Be strong in the
Lord and in the strength of his
night.—Ephesians 6:10.
• * •
BY WM. E. C.ILROY, D. D.
Editor of The CongTegationalist
The 12 lessons of the past quar
ter have set before us "reat lead
ers in Israel, from the time of Jos
hua when the Jewish people were
emerging from their long captivity
and the experiences in the wilder
ness Into the consciousness of a new
nationhood faced with acute dan
gers and problems to an age of na
tional glory which has challenged
the admiration of the whole world.
The story of Solomon and his
temple is written large upon the
pages of history as the spiritual
ideals and aspirations cf the period.
But this story must be read in the
light of its backgrounds and the
struggles through which the nation
al and religious consciousness de
veloped.
• 9 9
The value of the study of the
Bible is that it offers so much by
way of analogy for our modern life.
It is a great book of human exper
ience presenting the story of reli
gion and preaching to us the lessons
of religion .through the realism of
daily life, with its temptations,
its conflicts and its triumphs in the
individual life and with full recog
nition of the social factors in the
battle with injustice and inequality
and in the efforts to build up a
commonwealth.
Our problems have changed in
form and content, but in essence
they are the same as the problems
of this ancient people of Israel
emerging out of bondage and chao
tic conditions while its greatest
leaders sought to build the life of
the people into a unified commun
ity in which a common prosperity
built upon righteousness and juc
tice was the goal.
Is not that exactly our task in
America at the present hour? Can
we do it except as to some extent
it was done in ancient Israel? Can
we learn to avoid the pitfalls of the
past and build more securely? No
state can build truly unless it has
highminded leaders and a people
willing to give heed to its prophets.
The stories of these lessons have
presented heroic figures, both men
and women; Joshua and Caleb, the
courageous spies; Deborah, putting
the men of her age to shame with
her strong and determined leader
ship: Ruth, the woman of gentle
but persistent loyalty and Hannah
the devout mother,. .contributing
through her devotion Samuel, the
greatest of all leaders and prophets
of the period. . .
Yet despite all these things one
must recognize the measure of fail
ure, for the glory of the age of
Solomon was followed hv strife and
division occasioned by injustices
that had been allowed to go uncor
rected.
Prestige and glory are not enough
for a people great kings and rulers
cannot effect the salvation of the
nation. The welfare of a people rests
more deeply upon the quality of its
visions and its deeds. It Is in the
unselfishness and fairness of the
relationships of'ordinary life that a
people become welded into strength.
No matter hov: much the strength
of power or of wealth that a nation
may seem to be building up. there
is always inherent weakness, the
doom of prospective faflilrfe, if greed
• and selfishness be present, or if
those in authority and power dis
regard the factors of elemental jus
tice.
The strength and power of states
depend ultimately upon the welfare
of the people. This Is the outstand
ing lesson that comes to us from
the study of the lives of great lead
ers in the era of a nation’s strug
gle for life.
