THOSE BAPTIST PROTESTS
Again an example why many churches are losing
in attendance is seen in Monday's dispatch in which a 1
report of the Baptist convention was made public.
The resolutions committee favor entering the news
paper business in order to present to the public moral i
news; they protest against the present-day cigarette ad- j
vertisements; the use of tobacco in all forms, and un- '
flinching support of the obnoxious 18th amendment.
Not a word about the terrible narcotic evil wThich j
saps the moral a thousand times wTorse than liquor; noth-1
ing about relief for the millions of unemployed today.
If they choose to go outside the pulpit to cure the coun
try’s alleged ills, why not start on the last two items? j
LAWS AND CORRUPTION j
Remarking upon the tetfdecy toward the regulation
of every phase of human conduct by law, a recent speak
er quoted an aphorism of cicero: ‘Tn the most corrupt j
nation you have the most laws.”
There probably has never been in all history a peo
ple burdened with so many laws as exist in the United
States today.'Whether we have the most currupt nation
is a matter of opinion, but heaven knows it is bad.
Still the reformers, such as the Baptists in their
convention of yesterday, clamor for more laws. Where
it will all end no man can fortell. Every new law for the
regulation of this and that adds to the battalions of of
fice-holders already feeding at the public crib.
Thoughtful men are beginning to realize the serious- j
ness of the situation. Only by an aroused public senti- j
ment can we hope to stop the orgy of lawmaking and j
lawbreaking which threatens our social structure and
makes liberty a mockery.
The Soviet organization advertises jobs for the job
less, films the resulting mob for the purposes of propa
ganda, and sends those who responded away empty
handed, a scurvy trick to which even the heartless old
regime of the Czars would not have stooped. Those of
the workers who have pinned their faith to Russian
Communism will find, as time goes by, that the supply j
of gold bricks is without limit.
The family of Alfred Wegener, who headed the Ger-:
man expedition into Greenland, have decided that his
body is to rest in the Arctic waste in which he met his
end. The instinct that prompts most of us to bring the
bodies of the departed back to the home-land, is gentle
and tender, but it does the dead no good, and often im
poses upon the living, a burden which the dead would
have sought to avoid. After all, “Where should the sol
dier sleep but where he fell?"
************
Spain and Italy have sew troubles of their own
arising out of the relations between Church and State.
The subject is one which cannot be discussed without
acrimony and offense, and the United States is to be
congratulated upon being remote from the discussion.
The poise established by the founders of the government
fortunately has never been disturbed, and we are free
from religious and political preferences, to a degree
unknown to much of continental Europe.
************
The over-night, over-subcription—eight times— of
the long-term government bonds issued last week, again
proves there is still plenty of money in the United States
but undoubtedly in the hands of the minority, (—and we
are not redder than Stalin, either).
