Southern, Jr; The last evening Jesus spent "with his disciples, at dinner, the discourses which followed, the amazing sequence of happenings of the night and morning, His death on the cross, form together the most momentous hours in all time. No attempt need be made to analyze and explain. I frankly admit that there is much in the story of these I about the necessity of crucifixion nor of the resurrection. Judging by, the results, the influence in the world history, the things that happened in Jerusalem have had a greater impact on the fate of the civilized world than any other series of facts at any other time. An atheist, if there are any athesists, must agree with the logic.

The life, the teachings, the death of Jesus Christ of Naaareth struck the wrld with such force thata time has felt the effects and is still feeling the effects today. I am not discussing moot questions, I am not advertising any creed or religion, I am simply stating a fact which I believe no one will attempt to controvert. The death of Jesus was not accomplished by the underworld, it wan not an anarchist plot or a Bolshevist punishment. The crucifixion fell to those who belonged to a race of people who considered themselves the chosen of God, who knew more of science and literature and religion than any other race. They represented the highest civilization of that day.

Roman law and Grecian culture looked on. The accounts we have of the crucifixion are remarkable, when studied by one accustomed to the writing of events. Few writers of this day can tell a story without showing in or between the lines sympathy, condemnation, prejudice, it is one of the difficult things among newspaper writers to keep editorial comment out of local stories. The story of the crucifixion in each of the four goepels is a plain, unvarnished, TO THE RESCUE I notice where former Governor Arthur M. Hyde made an address in Kansas City which was in the nature of a cry in the wildnesness to the scattered legions of Mr.

Hoover under whom he served as Secretary of Agriculture, and as is the case with all good and true republican leaders these times, his heart bled for the Constitution, and for the "liberties" of the people under the "New Deal." I have known Governor Hyde intimately for a long while, and personally he Is a most likable', gentleman; furthermore, I will say for him that as Secretary of Agriculture gave me every possible cooperation with the R. F. C. and other governmental agencies in and regardless of the bit-, terness I may feel toward Mr. Hoover and his erstwhile attitude toward agriculture, I will always be grateful to the Governor in above premises.

They had their temple and their religious ritual, and their places of position and power. They knew they were wrong but they wanted to crucify the one who wanted to change it all. We are not different, we do not want to be reformed. Did you ever try to quit smoking? I can address this question to the women now as well as the men. There is just one reason why you cannot quit, you don't want to.

We crucify our reformers today just as they did in Jesus' time. I have heard public speakers open an address with thd words, "I am not a reformer." sourl Farmers' Association, and the fact that made no difference and therefore the comment which fol- Ic.ws is not made out of partisan rancor but is a statement of fafet as I see It. There has never been a period in the nation's history under which special privilege sat more securely in the saddle than during the regime of Harding, Cool- This amazing series of events with such far Beaching effects happened on a Friday in Jerusalem and was consummated just outside the walls of the city on a little bill we call Golgotha. An attempt was made to proceed according to the forms of law, although many jurists say that no part of the trial was legally carried out. Jesus was taken early in the morning before the.

After a hysterical oration by Jesus van taken to Pilate and deliver- bound that the Roman law might pass sentence to death, which the Jews could not do. Pilate hedged, he hemmed and haw- fed, he was on the spot.

He had some remains of fairness in his makeup and did not want to condemn this man. While he was on the bench a note from Mrs. Pilate was brought to him. It warned him to have nothing to do Jesus. Temporizing, Pilate offered release Barabbas, a noted convict, notorious criminal, or Jesus.

Pilate even washed hands as we so often do when we are trying to get out froi jmder something dlsg He wanted an alibi to give his wife. Judas realized what he a done, threw the bribe in the faces of the priests and hanged himself. I wonder what world what place holds Judas today? But Pilato did deliver up Jesus to the Jews to be crucified and He was made to carry His cross until, as He came near Jainting, it was given to Simon a Cyre- At the place of the skull were set up three crosses, Jesus nailed ANNOUNCEMENTS (Democratic Ticket) For Circuit 0.

I know of no other sequence of events for one twenty-four hour 1-eriod of time, for that matter, which has done so much. We are today in the United States of America on account of those events. Our very laws are shot through and through with the teachings of Jesus. Our judgments In our courts are not original with the judges, they follow the lines left us because of the Incidents of that night when we had just begun counting time Anno Domini. We pick up our paper in the morning anxious to read about what was done-the day before in Washington, or London, or Istanbul.

We are eager for news of events which will be forgotten tomorrow. Not a single news story you have read In the papers has made or will make a lasting mark on civilization. The story that has made such an impression and has dominated the lives of generations for twenty centuries ought to be a spot news story. There are four separate accounts, written by four Idge and Hoover. Living In a fool's paradise of imagined industrial security, these three presidents believed that all was well so long as "Big Business' was satisfied, and In proof of this, Mr.

Hoover declared during the campaign of 1928 that we were fast approaching the time when we could hope to "abolish poverty" in this country, and yet as he uttered these silly words, American agriculture was already in the midst of the greatest tragedy It has ever known, and with Hie orgy of speculation and unsound expension rushing madly toward the inevitable collapse, the army of millions of unemployed was slowly but surely appearing upon the nation's horizon. But neither Mr. Coolidge nor Mr. Hoover could be made to see the approaching storm. They believed that as long as the goose honked high in Wall Street the discord of our farmers and other submerged classes was of little consequence.

Recommending a minor revision of the this chiefly The next major activity of government will be an attempt to stimulate heavy normally provide the bulk of employment, were hit hardest by depression, and have been the most lethargic in recovering from it. And the first step in doing that will be to unloose capital for home-building and repairing, through Federal guarantees of mortgages. Mr. Roosevelt has cent a sepcial message to congress to expedite such legislation. Experts estimate that it is possible to unloose credit to the tune of $1,500,000,000 or more in this manner.

The money would go to painters, carpenters, masons, plumbers, contractors. It would buy cement, steel, lumber, i oof ing, electric fixtures: It would pass through a hundred great Industries, creating jobs and P- portunities as it went. It doesn's take much imagination to visualize the extent of its influence in pulling businesses all kinds out of the doldrums. wise property-owner to start ing right now. If building is greatly accelerated, prices for everything Involved are going to rise.

Theyr'e going to leave depression levels behind and return to the normal in fact, is one of the cardinal aims at this time. Those who can afford to repair and build now have the opportunity that may tiover be repeated In their lifetimes.

L. Russell gaarge at Goodman, together with six used cars and tools and equipment valued at approximately $4,000, was destroyed by fire early Tuesday morning, Two other cars were pushed from the building and saved. The fire is believed to have started in the garage wreck- I er truck. Night employes were called for wrecker service shortly after midnight, but were unable to start the truck, and another car was used. Russell advanced the theory that the wrecker switch might been turned and the truck was ignited from overheated wires an hour or two later.

Firemen from Neosho were called and assisted in preventing the fire from spreading to other buildings. The total loss was estimated at $5,500. Rebuilding operations will start Russell said. immediately, Interesting guests in Neosho this week were Dr. and Mrs.

Dr. Dunkeson is the brother of Mrs. Mace's late father, and his wife, before her marriage was Miss May Livingston, who formerly resided in Neosho.

And as a candidate for re-election in 1932, he floundered helplessly and thus it was no wonder that Will Rogers said to the National Democratic Convention in Chicago, "It don't make no dlf ferenee-who yau-nom- inate, for the people will elect him sight unseen." To make a long story short, the miseries which now surround us, and with which Roosevelt is struggling with lion hearted courage, are the direct result of the rolgn of the plunderers who had things their own way under Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, and that in an effort to once make ours a governments "of, by and for the people" certain major op- porations must be performed 1 Imperative, and this regardless of the wailing and gnashing of teeth that may be Involved in the process. There are many phases of the "New Deal" which I personally do not like, and which I have frankly criicized. But a condition of affairs under which 80 per cent of our nation's wealth has become centered in the hands of 4 per cent of our people must come to an end, and that it will come to an end Is, In my opinion, as certain as that the sun will continue to rise and set. Just where we will stand when the "New Deal" has attained Its objectives i do not know, but that Wall Street will have been put in its place, and that the people will once more rule the nation, these thlnga I am sure Roosevelt will strive to bring to pass with every ounce of strength and the foresight with which God has en- d.owed him, and what more, can any man HIrth, Columbia, Missouri.
