A DEBT TO THE CHURCH
There are those who criticize the churches, calling them
narrow, provincial and intolerant. Occasionally, upon cer
tain matters, it has looked like the religious leaders were in
clined just a little too far. and just a little too indifferent to
the fact that good men might disagree with them without
deserving the scorn and contumely of church members.
With all this in mind, however, few of us ever appreci
ate the great debt that the average community owes to the
church. Aside from the religious teachings and beliefs,
which might possibly prosper without the church but thru
some other organization, it is a fact that without the work
of the church in ’he past years this would hardly be a decent
place in which to live.
The influence of the church has been great. Through
altering the attitude of men and women it has caused them
to go into the world and set up new standards. It has made
possible the protection of wealth. It has made the lives of
men and women safe. It has restrained mankind from all
manner of evil. Without its curb, which holds back every
member of society to some extent, this would be a shameless
place, a blot on the face of the earth.
Those who are prone to criticise the church and to harp
on its faults seldom investigate far enough to know that
earnest leaders of church activity are also alert to the re
forms that the churches require. If the average critic of
the church would subject his or her life to the same clear
eyed scrutiny that sincere church leaders give the work
ing of their organization the improvement that would result
would be marked.
Stefansson States
America Discov
ered 1st By Irish
(By The Associated Press)
PITTSBURGH, July 15, — Dr.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic ex
plorer, said the Irish discovered Am
erica six or seven centuries before
the voyage of Christopher Columbus
in 1402. He told the Pennsylvania
Historical Association that the Pope
has documents to support this claim.
“We'll probably never know the
name of the man who discovered Am
erica,” he added, "but w^. may be
positive he was an Irishman.”
Stefansson described a paper writ
ten by an Irish monk in 820 A. D.
telling of colonization of Iceland by
the Irish at that time and says Vati
can records show the Pope in 1126
made Greenland a separate bisho
pric which had an unbroken line of
bishops until 1528.
Dr. Stefansson added that history
should credit Columbus with the dis
covery of the West Indies, but that
the Irish should be recorded as the
discoverers of the continent—an ac
complishment which also has been
claimed by the Norsemen.

Politics For 1936
Reviewed Parties
Not Commenting
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, July 15 th—A
mid-summer rush of regional and
national political conferences has
done more to confuse than to clarify
the political prospects in the 1936
presidential campaign so far as the
Third Party prospects are concern
ed. There is only one certainty for
next year, the Roosevelt-Garner
team will head the democratic tic
ket. The republican nomination is
a free for all scramble. Top flight
third party possibilities still await
for some definite indication of 1936
left wing prospects.
The three best known of the
younger radical leaders have avoid
ed participation in third party con
ferences so far. Senator Huey P.
Long is promising to enter the dem
ocratic national convention as a can
didate next year and in any event
will be opposing the New Deal in
some way.
But Senator Robert M. LaFollette
progressive of Wisconsin, and Floyd
B. Olson, farmer-labor chieftain in
Minnesota, are not committed to
oppose Roosevelt’s re-election.
Upton Sinclair’s Epic party in
California, is not reckoned among
the vital political factors in 1936.
The confusion among left wing
elements was emphasized in an an
nouncement yesterday, by Norman
Thomas, socialist leader, of plans to
tour Lousiana with a motor caravan
and sound truck to expose Senator
Long’s ‘share the wealth’ program.
