THE LONG TRAIL ENDS After 73 days of the moat intensified search ever made for a single human \ being ohe long trail has ended in death for the infant son of Charles r.ad Anne Lindbergh. The tragedy ! that so many had feared would be the end has become a realty as the world j stands aghast at the brutish, beastial crime comm filed by those who have sunk. qQ( to the bottom df oociey but •ven below tihat level. No parents ever had the measure of gymparhy extended to them that has poured out for the Lindberglhs since that winter night last March 1 when the world was stunned when told that the shmy band of the underworld had been thrust into the home of a happy, contented couple and the darling of their fireside snatched from its crib and from them, never to be seen alive again That sympathy flows in a still greater tide today than when the child was taken, for until now there bad been some hope that he would be i restored ahve to loving amis. Many j a morhers beait aches today and livers at tears have been shed as cour ageous souls have shuddered in the last two days in the thought that it might have heen their own flesh and Wood The sad news and the tragedy about it is that none of these things can bring back the toddfcng youngster ] whose brown curly hair and eager ! smile had endeared him to his noted father and mother. Life never wdl again be the same foj the fatuous couple. This blight will scar upon their future that not even time con erase. Hearts have been broken in a grief that never caa be entirety assuaged. The fame and d>e wealufi that had been com bined in rbw home to assure a career as brilliant perhaps as that of any American reonai.ts, but it has been •eared by this tragedy. One is prone lo ask why it must be. How can any creature known as a human being stoop so low? What is $30,000. or a hundred thousand or even a million dollars by comparison with tha hellish deeds perpetrated by These fiends of humanity? It is in conceivable that the lust for gold could lure any man or woman to the point of such & crime. It is a deed comparable only to the savage and the cannibal, yet done here in civilized America! Caa w“ boast that we have come this side the ape man so long as we tolerate these things, and so kmy as we are yet so impotent that efcey can be d r ne and gotten away with? AH sorts of theories and specula tions have cropped out since the find ing of the dead body, and with the evidence that the baby was probably murdered rhe aoih night he was stolen or not more thin a few days after : wards Spite hrs been suggested, but who could hold a grudge against edttoer at the Lindberghs? If money ware the goal, it coukl liave been had with out murder, and was had without the return of the baby- The child was 111 a hen taken and may have died of exposure, but. if so, why the biowdl and the bruises on the little body? It looks like a case of cold feet and fear cf detection if tt# bahy wera kepi •liv*. with eol4-hJoqd«d murdst a« tha alternative. Os course, the seared* for the ertan*- nato will now b« intensified. All the dogs of war in the police services of the nation will be l«t looae with huh a single aim and purpose. They can work without the fear that harm will befall the Utile victim if the trail should become hot. a consideration that has held in leash the forces of the law until now. All hands have right of way at last, and there la tha oocmdeicwt ireeaam of action. And there should be a double motive In the intensified manhunt. These criminals must be both brought to justice and made an example of. Moreover, this American civilization must see to it that its citizens, espe cially Its children, are safeg-u&rdfcd from occurrences of this kind in the future. As terrible, as horrible, as i heart-rendering as this affair is. it , will n ot be wholly an unmrixed evil if j it shall so arouse the people at the United States that they will rise in I their might to Ramp out the crime of i kidnaping from their borders. ( AND YOU. Eli CAPONE | With the Lindbergh baby probably ! j killed the mght it was stolen, the fa- J owit Al Capone, gang lord of Chi- j cago until recen-Uy. sought only a few weeks ago to obtain his freedom, even if for but a short while, by promises that he could effect the return of ihe child if allowed to leave his jail cell. How seriously, if seriously at all. his appeal was considered, the pub- j lie has not learned, but What a hypo- l crite developments have shown him to ' be! Capone could not have returned the baby had he been given his freedom absolutely and permanently. And he knew it. But he tried the gome of preying upon the anxious fears of a nation to gain his own ends. It shows him up in his true light and reveals him as the sneak that he is. Doubtless he is guilty of crimes as i heinous as this one, except that little • children were not so directly involved. ' aad nobody knows but that he would i t have stooped even at that if serv- I ing his own heTlsh ends. No. he j could not have restored the baby, of f course he couldn't. He was trying to ■ ‘ropreoß the nation with the power that he wielded, and to show himself up as being an oveilord of gangland and the underworld. Well, the nation knows what he is without any effort on his part to help it to understand. STILL THE BEST SELLER Books may come and books may go. but never has any book even remotely approximated the Bible in aalee or cir culation. More than that, despite the slurs and jokes about how little it is tead, it is probable that the book is searched more, in the aggregate, than any other is today dr ever bps been. No other volume, pamphlet or folder i ever written or published has afforded j ihe solace and comfort to anything ! like the number of people Who have been helped by the Bible. And that <>ue#*t to be an answer to the skeptic and the infidel. At rhe H®th rnnual meeting of the American Bible Society in New York fist Thursday, it was reported that in ! 1832 a total of 9.743.356 volumes of the Scriptures, issued by that organi sation alone, were made last year. These figures bring the society's Scrip ture publications in the U 6 years of its history up to 237.979,404 volumes. What other book can compete with such a record? In Japan there was the most notable increase in distribution, where prints of the gospels and other portions of the Bible rose from 700,000 to more than a mi then volumes In China, where floods and bandits tormented the people, they found solace in the Bible and sales there increased 58 percent above 1930. The Near East is another quarter of the globe where, despite edonoowc difficulties, the sale of the Bible in creased Avai-ply. It was notable in the region about the ancient city of Thessakmica, known in modern times as SaJoniki. Sales were nearly twioe as large in the West Indies as in 1930 and distribution held up welt in Lgttin- America. From Brazil came the word that no particular effort was made to increase demands for the Scriptures. in view of the fact that the normal requirements could barely be met. In Yucatan, one of the peninsula states in old Mexico, a distributor of 4{ie Bible visited a ckuirc.h where two yearn before he had boen persecuted, and found t bat his worst enemies had be come members of the church- From parts of the United Skates name unprecedented demands for Bibles, the society was told, ao much so that not all of the calls could be met. In veterans’ hospitals the Bible was the book moat in demand, and elsewhere the institutional require ments were met only by special ef forts. During the year, the Scriptures were translated and printed for the first time in two languages in Siam, and for the first time in an Indian dialect in Gu*tew*>«- J'frw ware HENDERSON, (N. C.J DAILY DISPATCH SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1932 made available also In some other parts of the w'irkt for the first time Another interesting fact was that last year the number of volumes of the Bible printed ia Bniaile for the use of She blind was forty percent greater than in any other year of tha 97 in whWh special prints for the blind have been issued. At that, the supply feN short 600 volumes of the demand. They may not be reading it as much gs they should, but the people cer tainly seem bo be anxious not to be without a copy cf the great Book of books. It Is not merely for the curto sttfy of reading, but for tbe benefits that are derived. For poetry, literature and marvelous expression of meaning, the Bible Is without a peer in any lan guage. to soy nothing of and aside from its rehtftoue value. It continues the world's best seller, as H has al ways been, and doubtless always will be. only more so in the future, per- . hapn, than it has been in the post.
