NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Elections in Virginia and Elsewhere Cause Democrats to Rejoice. By EDWARD W. PICKARD DEMOCRATS were Jubilant over the results of elections held in various states, seeing in them evidence that the split ' i the solid South made last fall by the Republicans was not permanent; that the people do not like the Republican tariff measure now pending; that the Democrats have a good chance to cut down the Republican majority in both houses of congress next year and pave the way for a real fight in the next Presidential campaign; and, as Chairman Jouett Shouse of the Democratic national executive committee put it, “the country, for the time being at least, is Democratic-minded.” Most interesting was the election in Virginia where the regular Democratic ticket,, led by Di. John Garland Pollard for governor, was easily vjctoriog£/ over the coalition of Republicans and anti-Smith Democrats which was directed b£ Bishop Cannon, C? Bascom Slemp and Henry W. Anderson and which had William M. Brown for its gubernatorial candidate. The political power of Bishop in the Old Dominion was completely upset and the use of religious strife for partisan purposes was discredited. and observers generally admitted that Virginia was restored to the list of safely Democratic states. Kentucky also gave the Democrats cause for rejoicing, for they retained a two-thirds majority of the lower house of the state assembly and a majority of the senate. Last year Ken tucky was carried by Hoover and the Republicans elected nine out of eleven congressmen. Mayor Jimmie Walker of New York city retained his office by virtue of a genuine landslide, his plurality over Fiorello H. La Guardia, RepublicanFusion candidate, almost 500,000. George U. Harvey, borough president of Queens, was the only Republican to win in the metropolis. In a dozen other New York cities the Democrats elected mayors. Indiana voters apparently turned ** flatly against the Ku Klux klan, for throughout the state the candidates who had klan affiliations generally were defeated by Democrtpis. The wets also saw in the results evidence that the people were tired of the domination of the Anti-Saloon league. Reginald Sullivan, Democrat, won the Indianapolis mayoralty by a two to one vote, and in many other state centers, most of them former Republican strongholds, the Democrats were victorious. Detroit staged an exciting mayoralty contest between former Mayor John W. Smith, liberal, wet, and Catholic, and Charles Bowles, former judge and a Catholic. The klan, prohibition and religion all figured in the fight and the race was so close that the result was in doubt to the very last. Then it appeared Bowles had won by about 6,000 majority. SENATOR BINGHAM of Connecticut has received his punishment for charging that the subcommittee on lobbying was packed against the administration, though ostensibly his offense was the employment of a lobbyist to post him on tariff matters, by virtue of which employment said lobbyist gained admission to executive meetings of the finance committee , when it was working on the tariff bill. Bingham refused to apologize and so Senator Norris, chairman of the judiciary committee, who had named the subcommittee on lobbying, introduced his resolution censuring Bingham for action that “is contrary to good morals and senatorial ethics and tends to bring the senate into dishonor and disrepute.” Twenty-two Republicans voted against the resolution, but a like number lined up with thirtytwo Democrats and the measure was adopted, 54 to 22.

Diet and Exercise No Road to Boyish Figure Unstylish stouts who seek to acquire a boyish figure by diet hnd exercises are chasing a will-o’-jae-wisp, Dr. Maximilian Kern of Chicago told fellow physician at a meeting of the American’College of Physical Therapy. What they really need Is medical attention, he added, the extra fat being most likely due to a disturbance of the ductless glands. “Obesity is just as definite a con-

ThAt remarkably voluble Senator Brookhart of lowa, after giving fair warning, arose in the senate and told his story of the “Wall Street dinner” given in Washington three years ago by Walter J. Fahy of New York ami attended by a number of senators and financiers. It was a fairly amusing ol|d tale but far from exciting. Brookhart said that before entering the dining room each guest was offered a silver flask of liquor, and that he and Senators Smoot and Gooding declined. But he failed to name those senators who accepted the flasks, saying that the “boys” could answer for themselves. Beside Brookhart at the feast sat E. E. Loomis, a railroad official and connected with Morgan & Co., and on his otheTs-side was Otto Kalin. “During the course of the dinner, Mr. Loomis took his hip flask out of his pocket and he poured out some of that alcoholic stuff,” said Senator Brookhart. “I have had enough experience in the chemical laboratory to know that it had a heavy content of alcohol. He poured that in the glass, and then lie poured in some water —it was too strong to take raw—and he drank that. A lot of similar operations went along down the table.”* The lowa senator was called before the grand jury in Washington last week and presumably told that body the same story of the Fahy dinner, though he may have given more vital details. In the course of his speech * in the senate he berated the administration for the failure to enforce the dry law along the Canadian border and in the best clubs and hotels. He especially attacked Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and said President Hoover should dismiss him from the cabinet. MORE than the expected success is attending the efforts of the Democratic-radical coalition •in the senate in changing the tariff rate schedules. After having their way with a number of chemicals, the coalitionists showed their strength effectively when the first major industrial schedule was reached, that filing the duty on pig iron. By a wide majority they were successful in fixing this rate at 75 cents a ton, just half that proposed by the administration group and 37 cents less than the present duty. The vote was 4S to 30. Reed of Pennsylvania said this vote could only serve to confirm his contention that the tariff* bill was dead and that the house could never agree to the changes which the coalition w’as making. CHIEF witness last week before the senate lobby committee was A. J. Arnold, Washington representative for the Southern Tariff association and the American Taxpayers’ league. The inquiry revealed some of the methods employed to get tariff protection for products of Southern states and to promote abolishment of the federal inheritance tax. A long list of names of more or less prominent men and corporations from whom Arnold obtained contributions was made public, and Arnold sought to justify his collections from them and all his other efforts. He gathered in about $225,000 in the past year but was a trifle hazy as to how this amount was expended. CHARLES GATES DAWES, our ambassador to Great Britain, on the eve of his return to his post in London spent a day or two in Washington conferring with President Hoover and Secretary Stimson. He was given a detailed account of the conversations between the President and Prime Minister MacDonald and discussed various phases of the naval reduction situation. Ambassadors Dawes and Guggenheim were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hoover at a dinner, as were the members of the senate foreign relations committee, and there was something of a sensation when it was learned that Senator Hiram Johnson of California, a member of that committee, was not invited. The newspapers made a lot of the incident, but Mr. Hoover promptly wrote the senator explaining that his omission from the list of guests was wholly accidental and had caused the President great distress.

p.RIME MINISTER MACDONALD L reported to the housp of commons i on his visit to the United States and i thanked the American officials and i people for their cordial welcome and j the honor paid him. He gave little information on the agreenients reached | in Washington but in the course of ! his speech admitted the matter of Great Britain’s fortified bases off the i American coast had been discussed. ■ Mr. Mac Donald’s government does not face any considerable opposition in the matter of the naval agreement, but in domestic saffairs, especially the plans for settlement of labor troubles, its course is not to be so smooth. The question of granting dominion status to India, or rather how soon this should be done, also has given rise to bitter debate. One of the first acts of parliament was to approve the resumption of relations with Soviet Russia. ANDRE TARDIEU formed a new cabinet for-France, a “concentration” government with Briand still in as foreign minister, but there were fears that it would be short lived. The Communists, Socialists and Radical Socialists decided to vote against it solidly, and they would need only fifty right wing votes to overthrow it. Such a result would seriously endanger the success of the Young plan and the Rhineland evacuation. German Nationalists and Fascists mustered enough, votes to. call for a plebiscite on the Young reparations plan the result of which shall be binding on the reichstag. The present government has a majority in the reichstag and that body will reject the proposal for a 1 plebiscite, whereupon it will be submitted to the national electorate. To override the reichstag’s veto will require 20,000.<X>(> supporters, or half the total eligible electorate, and so the scheme is evidently doomed to defeat. — CONFLICTING reports and claims made uncertain the situation in the civil war in China, but there evidently had been some bloody fighting between the rebel “people’s” forces and the Nationalist government troops. There were no important developments on the Manchurian front. The American Red Cross sent over S2O,(XK) for , the relief of the white Russians who survived the massacres perpetrated by the Soviet forces in that region. UP IN Minneapolis the Co-operative Farmers Northwest Grain corporation was organized with capital of $0,000,000, to be owned by the Farmer Elevator and Grain Pool associations of Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Montana and to act in co-opera tion with and as the agency for the Farmers National Grain corporation in the four states. FOLLOWING a brief spurt of recov ery, stock prices cn the exchanges went tumbling again until most ot them reached the low figures of the previous week, and each day many more billions of paper values were wiped out. If the New York bankers pool was doing anything to support the market, it wasn't visible, and none of the bankers would say a word. The bears were just permitted to have things their own way, and the terrified amateur speculators who had survived the earlier debacle submitted their wool to the shearers almost unresistingly. Later came some spasmodic recoveries. Roscoe c. mcculldch of canton was appointed by Governor Cooper of Ohio as United States senator to fill the vacancy caused by the death oi Senator Theodore E. Burton. He has served three terms in congress and held other public offices. McCulloch’s appointment is for & period of one year. He must seek election In November, 1930, for the unexpired two years ts the six year term of the late Senator Frank B. Willis. RECENT deaths include those of William (c Lee, former head of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen ; Marquis gaouye of Japan and Maurice Herbetbs of France, aiplomats; Prince Max of Baden, last imperial chancellor of Germany, and George Hannauer, president of the Boston and Maine railroad.

Paul declared <m Mars hill. “God ; hath made of one nieod ill the na I tions of men to dwell on ail tlm face j of the earth” (Acts 17:26). The recognition of this supreme truth will take away ail thought of racial I superiority. God in choosing Israel did not show favoritism. They were rather chosen >,nd disciplined ia order that they might be the means of bringing the knowledge of God to all the nations of the earth. (I. Examples of Racial Harmony > 1. Ruth, the Moabitess (Ruth 1:1-18). In the days of the Judges, because ; of famine in Judah, Elimelecb ami his ' family went to Moab to tinn subsist i ence. While there bis wo sons mar i ried Moabitisb women. Not long after this, rhe fathei and the sons ; died, leaving three desolate widows , Learning that rhe famine aas over. | Naomi decided to return.

In this we have ; an example of two very dissimilar . people united as one. 2. The woman of Samaria (John . 4:5-10) The Samaritans were a mongrel people, not in favor among the Jews. ; This woman was not only es a despised people, but of a disreputable character But when the light ot God entered her soul she became a witness to her people ot t'hrist anti the leader of a movement which prepared ; the way for rhe revival at the hands , of Philip a few years later. So manifestly did the favor of God appear in Samaria that Peter and John came down from Jerusalem and gave to it endorsement. That which removed the barrier from between the Jews and Samaritans was the personal knowledge of Jesus t'hrist. 3. Cornelius, the Roman soldier ' (Acts 10:9-15. 30-35). The Jews hated the Romans he cause they were under bondage to them. Peter, the head of the >ipos tolie group, was a Jew ot strong prejudice. The time had now come . for the removal of the wall of partition between the Jews and the Gen- j tiles. To do this G<»>t chose a highgrade and influential Gentile to make the transition Cornelius was a de- , vout and praying man, though not i saved. In removing this wall, two visions ; were given: (1) To Cornelius (Acts 10:3. 8). I While engaged in prayer, an angel from God announced to him that his i prayers and alms had come before God as a memorial, and instructed him to send to Joppa for Peter, who would tell him what to do. (2) To Peter (Acts 10:9-16). In his vision Peter saw a certain vessel containing clean and unclean animals. let down from heaven and i beard the command, “Rise. Peter, kill and eat.” Against Peter’s protest God said. “What God hath cleansed, call thou not common*’ This vessel let down from heaven and taken back again indicated that both Jews and ■ Gentiles were accepted on high The ■ spirit ot God hade Peter to go with the messengers of Cornelius. Ui»on arrival. Petei explained to' Cornelius j how God had removed his Jewish I prejudice and then asked him to ex ■ plain the purpose of sending for him. Being assured that they were ready to hear the message from God. Peter preached Jesus Christ in His life and death to them. In his sermon tc Cornelius, he set forth — a. The basis of salvation —the death ot Christ. b. The scope ot salvation —whosoever beiieveth on Him. c. The method of appropriation of this salvation—faith in Christ. In endorsement ot ibis message by Peter, the Holy Spirit was ponred out and as the gospel now was reach ing beyond the Jews, there was a new Pentecost. 111. All One in Christ Jesus (Gal 3:28. 29). In Christ all class and racial dis tinctions are lost. Let those who | would hasten the period ot racial • good will bestir themselves to the ! S task of preaching the gospel of Jesus : Christ—the only means of uniting the various branches of the race. Jesus Clears the Temple And Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves: and would not suffer that any man should l carry any vessel throught the temple. ‘ and he taught, saying unto them, is j It not written, My house shall be called the house of prayer? but ye have made It a den of thieves. —Mark of Love.’’—David Smith. 5
