REDEMPTION —God will redeem
my soul from the power of the grave
#or be shall receive me—Psalm 49 15
WHO'S ERROR WAS IT?
What have those smart persons to
say now who for a couple of months
were so busy charging the newspapers
of America with the blame for the
failure to recover the Lindbergh
baby" They were, as usual, talking
through their hat and blaming the
press for giving them what the coun
try - was hungering for in the way of
news. The chances are those very
same persons would have been de
nouncing the newspapers for their
silence had they done what so many
people demanded of them and sup
ressed the news about the baby's
theft.
It is a mistaken idea to suppose
that the mere statement of facts in
news columns Is a glorification of
crime. Incidents could be heaped high
upon each other of how criminals
have been ferreted out by the ac
tivities of reporters and publication
©f their findings. A man asked the
other day why so much material was
being printed on a certain subject. He
was asked in return if he was reading
It. and he admitted he grabbed for
the paper as soon as it came and read
all of It. whereupon he was told that
he had answered his own question,
and there are thousands of others just
like him The papers printed all they
could get about - the Lindbergh case
because the American people demand
ed it It was the talk of the country
more than two months, and the un
precedented sale of extras when the
child's body- was found explains the
whole matter.
Now. listen to what Editor and Pub
lisher leading newspaper journal of
the country, says about this same
subject
"Where, at present, are the persons
who said in print and otherwise in
public that the newspaper press of
this country had made it well-nigh
Impossible for the kidnapers to re
turn the Lindbergh baby to his
mother's arms"
"Will they please stand up and be
counted" They were sure of their
Statements They did not equivocate.
They knew, by some occult process
not available to ordinary reportorial
mortals, that if newspapers had re
mained silent and aloof little Charles
would promptly have been returned.
Silas Bent charged in The Outlook
that the baby was being exploited by
newspapers for circulation gains Wal
ter Lippman begged the reporters to
have a heart and argued at length
for a law to prevent newspapermen
>rom Interfering with criminal in
vestigations. A writer in The New
Yorker also charged that press ac
tivities had seriously impeded the
search. Governor Moore of New Jer
sey said that if newspapers would
only leave the police and family alone,
some headway might be made toward
a solution of the crime. From such
sources the public was given the no
tion, which swept the country, that
the press was really an accessory
after the fact. Great was the Indigna
tion.
“But what are the facts, at present
revealed {or anyone to see" Nothing
the newspapers did, or could have
done. Interfered with the negotiations,
for the child was dead. The body,
according to the official autopsy, lay
under the leaves In a wood in the
very shadow of the Lindbergh estate
for two months, and in all probably
the kidnapers committed the fearful
crime within an hour of the abduc
tion. knowing that the child would
cause trouble for them and that they
could trade as well without It.”
WE ALL FAVOR IT.
Candidate Grist who Is trying to
oust Cameron Morrison from the lat
tsjr’s seat In the United States Senate
and put himself in there Instead, told
the eager listeners to his campaign
speech over at Nashville a few days
ago that he favored the return to
this State by the Federal government
of twenty percent of the tobacco taxes
paid by the State. That would amount
to something like $:’5.000,000, and Its
receipt in Raleigh each year would
solve all of North Carolina’s financial
worries.
But try and get it. Uncle Sam's bud
get is about as badly off as Is North
Carolina's. Moreover, if this State
didn’t pay so much Federal tax, the
question would not receive any
serious consideration from Mr. Grist
nor any other politician in this State.
In fact, it is just probable that he
and the others. If called upon to sit
in the seats of the mighty in the na
tional legislature, would be bitterly
opposed to it and fight like Trojans to
keep the revenue in Uncle Sam's cof
fers. just as nearly everybody else
in Washington Is doing now.
Certainly Mr. Grist favors the re
turn of twenty percent of this huge
tax payment, and so do all the rest of
us But Mr Grist knows, as every one
else does, that there Isn't a China
man’s chance of getting it. and if
there is any object In mind in dis
cussing it. other than to make votes
on a proposition that is as futile as
anything can be. we'd like to know
what that purpose is.
PROFITS IN STOCKS.
There is an opinion abroad that
politics more than anything else Is
behind the investigation in the Senate
of the New York Stock Exchange.
Moreover, there is scant likelihood
that anything more will come of the
icvelations at the committees hear
ings than the imposition of the in
creased tax on stock market transac
tions. The situation right now is
simply one in which everybody
is broke, and some folks are
in their present predicament In
part because of stock market losses,
and want some outlet for passing the
buck and laying the blame. The re
sult is that the stock market is made
the goat.
Imagine ar. investigation of this
kind back in 1929. when nearly every
one who dabbled in stocks at all made
more money than they had ever made
in their lives in so easy away. There
was no fault found with the exchange
then. Moreover, it would not be sur
prising if there were a good many
members of Congress then whose
names were on brokers' books, and
they would not have dared show
things up. At that time, too, everybody
who could lay hands on the long
gieen, from the millionaire down to
the soda jerker and the stenographer,
were playing the market, and the
most popular pages in the newspapers
were those that carried market quo
tations. Now that the reverse is true,
just about as many people have lost
money in the market as there were
persons who made it three years ago,
everybody jumps on the exchange
with both feet.
This newspaper holds no brief for
the stock exchange. It is much more
able to take care of its own kitting
than we are for it. But Congress and
the rest of the folks might at least
be consistent. Suppose Raskob.
Schwab and the others did make a
"killing" in 1929. it. is no more than a
lot of other folks did, and most of
those who didn't would have done it
if they had had a chance. Those who
made money three years ago had no
Interest In an inquiry. If they have
lost now. they ought to take their
medicine like good little boys do. and
at least he consistent. But. so far as
we are concerned, let them dig; tt
makes no difference here. It least it
may be some excitement for these dull
days.
BEYOND THE PALE,
Today and for many decades past,
young men who have started to climb
the ladder of fame to attain success
have directed their footsteps into po
litics. They have seen honor and an
evidence of esteem by their fellows
in being elected or appointed to some
office. Some have begun at the bot
tom and climbed step by step to the
peak. It is a highway along whose
edges grow both roses and thorns, and
those who have trudged the road have
seemingly been ready to pay the price
for the beauty and delight that came
In return.
But there are evidences that the
trend is slightly in a different way
now. Politics has had its day. It has
been weighed in the balances and
found wanting when the crucial test
came upon tt. It has shown itself in
capable of dealing with crises such as
that which today holds all the world
in its grasp. So much so that the
world Is looking in another direction,
or at least on out beyond the pale of
politics for a solution of its troubles.
Business is being called upon to take
a hand, and, while the process may
be a Weary one, it certainly holds
promise of more tangible results than
have come from political maneuver
ings and bickerings to which the
world has been accustomed.
World gase is toward "those cap-

tains of human effort who will lead
It out of its present economic posi
tion,’’ says Dr. Nicholas Murray Butr
ler, president of Columbia University.
Improvement over and above what
we now have depends on “those for
ward-looking men who. whether in
agriculture. Industry or professional
life, occupy posts and are charged
with responsibility which give them
opportunity and invitation to offer
leadership.'' Moreover, he sees the
need for international concert of ac
tion as paramount, and despairs of
relief for any one nation until some
panacea is found for ail countries.
This university president reiterates
marked faith and confidence in "hu
man nature and in the ability and
capacity of our own people to take
or to compel such public action as will
bring this present crisis to an end. as
well as make It an example never to
be followed." But this faith must be
accompanied by works. He ridiculed
the idea that “capitalism is bank
rupt and must abdicate," declaring
that "captiaiism Is a term of reproach
and nonexistent as a system.” It is
the lovers of liberty, and not its
enemies, to whom we must turn for
the correction of these abuses.
One of the great needs of the times
is for leaders. They are woefully lack
ing in the whole political and econo
mic structure. There is room at home,
in the local community, in the state,
in the nation and in the world, and
in every trade and profession, for
men with a vision and who have the
courage to follow their convictions.
There are plenty of followers but few
the scene a man who knows and
knows that he knows, “gangwsy"
would be made for his ascension of
the ladder to power and influence.
But evidences arc i never* mg that this
hope must be away from politics and
to the business and professional strata
of society.
PARTY LINES SNAP.
Party lines snapped on the beer
vote in the House of Representatives
Monday. And why not? Beer and
prohibition is not. or at least should
not be. a party issue. It ought not
to be a political issue, though It has
been made one, because politicians
found it a good football to kick about
from one to another in courting
popular favor and gaining votes. And
if it were not a handy tool for the
garnering of votes mighty little would
be heard of the question in the halls
of Congress.
