On this date, Mr. Norris took reviewed the May 12, 1927 paper: "Let Dead Past Be Past" was written by G. W. Thorpe to "The Dallas Morning News". In your issue of May 1, Mr. J. L. Taylor asked, "How Woodrow Wilson Stood on Prohibition." "I do not know, but what I would like to know is : what difference it makes to us how Woodrow Wilson stood on Prohibition or whether Thomas Jefferson was an atheist or an orthodox Christian? Or whether George Washington 'cussed' and drank 'booze' and various other questions about the illustrious dead, that have been discussed in the last few months? Will it make me any better or worse to know that Woodrow Wilson was a 'pro' or an 'anti;' or to know whether Washington or Jefferson were saint or sinner or whether King David had Uriah murdered after stealing his wife or whether the Apostle Peter cursed and denied that he ever knew his Lord, although the Saviour had delivered to him the keys to the kingdom? It seems to me that the best thing for humanity is to try living in the present and stop worrying about the number and style of dead man's shoes." ---J. L. Taylor
