Editor The Press: In the expos
ure of all the rotten Indifference to
duty and morals relative to the city
government of Spokane the most
deplorable fact of all is the revela-
ton of the weakness or hypocrisy
of the churches, and these COM
ments will apply to all modern city
government in this country.
This fight for the uplift of So
ciety brings back to the memory
of those now living the old anti
slavery struggles, when Wendell
Phillips said that the church had
been the apologist for every great
social and industrial wrong in his
tory" History certainly repeats
itself right here in this city. There
are 65 churches here, and any OBJ
serving, thinking man will admit
that in everyday business life here
there is revealed more downright
hypocrisy, evasion and dupllcity
to the square inch than in all of
Darkest Africa" This is a fear
full record. Here you will find, as
elsewhere, that all the iniquity,
official and otherwise, has been eX-
posed by men outside of the
churches. individuals here and
there identified with some church
have aided, but the church as a
whole has been dormant and inef-
fective in its efforts. Not only that,
but one prominent minister openly
stood as an apologist for the pres
emit inhuman conditions at the city
hall. Men are thrown into jail on
the verge of delirium tremens and
allowed to die, unheeded. Women
