SORROW FOR SIN O Lord my
God. Hear me. For I am ready to
halt I will declare mine iniquity; I
will be sorry sot my sin.—Psalm 38:
15. 18.
WHO VVIUL RE GOVERNOR?
Whit a quest. on at w-hat a time!
Wlkj will be North Carolina's uext
chief executive?
The query is the more pointed by
reason of the fact that the Democratic
primary, where the issue will either be
settled definitely or at least greatly
clarified, is than two months
away. Not in a quarter of a century,
perhaps, has thcie been so little sur
face Interest in t> contest for major
office in North Carolina as there is
today in this one And the same yard
stick might apptoprtate4y be applied
to the fight that Is on for the nomi
nation for Unittd States senator. It
will not be surprising if a second pri
mary has to held the firm Satur
day In July to settle both.
The so-called "political observers,"
•whoever they are and wherever they
station themaelvtt when they assay
tc look the terrain over, speculate
with less certainty than ordinarily.
If is harder to pick the winner in a
field of three in a year when there is
no really outstanding candidate than
when the lines are dra&u between
men of known and long recognized
ability and astuteness as political war
horses It was not hard to guess the
winner in the gubernatorial content
of 1924. and no! so difficult to pick
the successful candidate when Mr
Bailey ran against Senator Simmons
two years ago And many people
think they know who Is going to be
Unified Stku.es senator this
year But it comes to finding
‘ who s got the button" as between Eh
nnghaus. Fountain and Maxwell well,
that s a horse of another Color-
Many people fnd themselves unable
to go all the way with or for either,
yet they can discern admirable qual
ities in each of the trk> and certaiD
planks in .heir platforms to be desired
But there are phases about the cam
paign of each A the trio that do not
particularly appeal And rrtore folks
Uianfts usually the case are going to
make up their nunds at the last min
ute before going to the polls. Who
will be governoi l Well, now you ask
one.
STILL A GOOD SCRAPPER
l*resident von Hindenburg* over
whelming victory in the German elec
tions of last Sunday is the best sign of
stability that has come out of Europe
letely It means that the young re
public ha* gone neither socialistic nor
monarchist ic. but that the democratic
form of government that was set up
following the Wcrld War is still the
fhvorite with the people.
Moreover here Is further proof, if
any were needed, that the foxy old
field marshal of war times still holds
a firm grip upon the populace of the
fatherland, and that M still trusts him
The reel of the world hated his very
lame a decade and a half ago. but to
day much confidence for the peace of
Germany and of Europe is pinned to
him by his own folks and by outsiders
In the first election a month ago,
Hindenburg lacked less than 200.000
votes of receiving a clear majority
over the four opponents who sought
to ota* him, and such a vote as that
in a total of more than 37.000,000 cast
was a remarkable showing. I§ did not
sealed the issue finally, because a sec
ond election was made necessary, but
L. did show what the outcome would
be, and the world was prepared for
the results of last Sunday, except that
it hardly expected him to get away
wMh so large a majority as he actually
achieved. It shows that the old gen
eral of the kaisers arnica is sttH a
good fighter.
The term of t ffice to which Hind
enburg has just been elected is for
seven yea re. He is now 34 years old.
and it Is doubtful if be tivea to finish
out hie tenure, hut the election shows
two things, that Hindenburg Is still a
power among his people, and that Hit
ler's strength wax considerably over
estimated and the German people are
rot ready for the uncertain and un
tried governmental policy he had of
fered them. U is now probable that
the present regtnie can manage affaire
untM the return of better days and
until ea*>y economic conditions will
further stabilize its efforts to estab
lish firmly a democratic government
in Germany, thus contributing direct
ly to the recovery of Europe a* a whole
and to the world at large.
SMITH S BOLDNESS
Govei nor Smith’s most recent state
ment iu a still more positive tone that
lie is a receptive candidate for the
Democratic nomination for president is
entirely in line with developments
that were anticipated whe n first he
let It be known some weeks ago that
he was a willing candidate. The next
thmg that may be expected is to see i
him get into the fight in a determined,
straight-out bid for the nomination.
The effect of his latest assertion
should and probably will be to steel his
opponents still more against him. and I
to go even further in crystalizlng sent
iment in favor of Governor Roosevelt.
Smith has not elevated himself in
the estimation of the country by re
pudiating his declaration of Novem-
I ber 1928, a few days after he was de
feated by President Hoover, that he j
would not again be a candidate for i
public office. His whole attitude in '
lecent months has been one of jeal
ousy toward his former bosom friend
;ind bears the appearance of a rule or
ruin pohey. He senses a better
chance at victory than was his four
years ago. and It is simply more than
he can bear to pass it up without a
struggle.
It is fairly safe to predict that he
will bo in the thick of the fight at
the Chicago convention. He will be
there not only to accept the nomina
tion if offered him. but to do every
thing in his power to grab it if at all
possible, whatever the price.
It is a bold stroke and a disgusting
game that he is playing. Hardly did
his bitterest enemies suspect him to
be capable of the ends to which he is
icsorting in an effort to snatch the
plum from the hands moat likely to
receive It.
THE TWO EXTREMES
Feelings both oi uneasiness and sat
isfaction well up in the heart as one
contemplates tho newest turn in the
search for the stolen Lindbergh baby
The famous infant's still more fa
mous father has paid the $50,000 ran
eom demanded for (he child's safe re- !
turn to the arms of his parents, but
the little fellow's whereabouts are still j
as much a mystery as they have been
since the hour tno denizens of the un
derworld laid their slimy hands upon
the tiny wad of flesh and stole him
away.
Naturally and fortunately, the cur
rency that was handed over to the kid
njpers or then designated agents, or
whoever it was that took the money
from Colonel Lindbergh, was number
ed, as all greenbacks are. Banks all
over the country are being or have
been given that information, and from
now on there is something tangible
on which to work in running down
•the criminals. Once one of these pa
per bills is discovered in circulation
after having been spent by the kid
napers, then and there something pos
itive has been d.scovered on which to
work. And don't be fooled into sup
posing that tlu greatest sleuths of
this country will not be put on the
trail once that bit of e vidence is turn
ed up. The n-.e n who took Colonel
Lindbergh's money will get mighty
little comfort from the possession of
it. Unless they spend it, it will do ,
them no good, and if they do spend it,
they will lay thcmeselves open to al
most certain detection.
Therein lies the satisfaction that is
felt over the lutest development in a
case that has had the world by the
ears for six weeks. It is the firwt
certainty of hope of the ultimate nab
bing of the kidnapers. Bui at the
same time it lr.< reases the fear, and
it U indeed a genuine concern, that
here is the gravest threat to the baby
and the greatest likelihood Chat he
may never be relurned alive.
( Always there b> the poambittiy that
. the people who stole the child may
find bhemeaeives so hotly pursued as
that they wtu fear for their own saf
ety and seek to make away with the
child in order to cover their tracks
and save their own miserable hide*.
If the net were to close In upon them,
they could easily kill the child, ee hor
■ nble as that <■ to contemplate. And
t such a const deration Maumee ea aspect
’ of serious reality when the bungling
HENDERSON, IN. C. J DAILY DISPATCH- TUfISDAYi ApRIL 12 18M
job to date Is surveyed, and when
they realise Shat they oan hardly bene*
fit from the bKqgdjnoney that has been
paid them without being detected.
Here are the two extremes. As the
crime was beginning to lapse a trifle
from the public mind it reappeai* in
a more grueauiue aspect. The kid
napers may be discoverod and cup
utred. but it may mean the life of the
precious babe that was so cruelly
snatched from lhe loving arms of Its
devoted parents.

By Central Press
New York. April 12-Young folk,
especially native New Yorkers and
other rarely encountered minori
ties, are still agog over the Reed
' V r» ■ i
ing on in hi.s Alma Mater he promptly
got the boot.
The case stirs sentimental memories
in this reporter. Not a terrific num
ber of years ago he narrowly escaped
a similar fate at the University of
Virginia. I evny Mr. Harris. He
actually get kicked out.
There is no youthful thrill in the
world Like the first taste of the hul
laballoo that can be stirred up by
printed words, however silly and how
ever small the audience. When I got
my summons to the dean's office, I
knew I had become a journalist. I
strutted all the way over.
And I take ofi’ my hat to Harris on
another score—his versatility of re
bellion. He attacked the cooking,
flirted with Communistic ideas and
flayed the athletic idols of his school.
All we could think of to sihock the
was a snappdness which
my friend Mr. Norman Anthony, edi
tor of Ballyhoo, would deem mid-Vic
torian in mildness.
It is a pity that Mr. Harris must
wake up some fine morning in the fu
ture with the dreadful suspicion that
much of the- ammunition he suffered
martyrdom to fire was aimed at tri
vial menaces about which he has long
since become complacent. I’m afraid
though, that he must suffer that.
RAT-TAT-TATTLE
Today's discovery: that the reason
Broadway Is crooked is that when it
was called Blooniingdale road and was
being laid out. back in 1811, Herr
Brevoort refused to ter down his man
sion at Tenth street, resulting in the
ft reefs deflection.
Lee Posner. _Lbe official representa
tive of Harlem, has a new revue,
"BlackbeiTies of 1932," on Broadway
which opened on the unconventional
night of Sunday, and which violates
two other theatrical conventions by
being produced by the press agent and
offering three performances a day . .
High in a tower of the mid-town
apartment felt the other d-ay I had
opportunity to scan acres of pent
houses. Few were burgeoned into oc
cupancy. with trellises and sod, as they
should be a>t this time of year. On the
terrace of one vacant-looking garden
in Ihe sky I spied, so help mo, a small
goat asleep on a grass rug! . .
When a group of famous writers and
articts were about to gather the other

poker, the official reminder of the

at her loveliness. I know.

there is plenty of ability. Success will
often appear to come by mere chance.
