LAuDED FOR REFUSING PARDON
Minister Praises Taft for Stand in
Cases of Morse and Walsh.

President Taft was commended for his
refusal to grant pardons to Charles w.
Morse and John r. Walsh, the former
bankers serving penitentiary sentences.
in a sermon delivered at the Metropoli-
tan Memorial NJ. E. Church yesterday
morning by Rev. Dr. John Reid Shannon.
pastor. Dr. Shannon's subject was
Money as a Force for Good or Evil
Declaring that it was moral back
bone" which enabled the President to
take the stand he did with respect to
the Morse and Walsh pardon applica-
tons. DR.. Shannon said that every hon
est citizen should thank God there is
such a man as Mr. Taft in the White
House. He asserted that the public is
entitled to take grim pleasure in the
punishment which has been melted out
to Morse and Walsh.
These capitalists undertook to use the
community as a sponge to squeeze at
their pleasure. They carried their lines
like a flame to burn up the savings OF
other people. We have right to take
grim pleasure in the fact that these
transgressors are picked of in the pres
ence of the nation and shaken until their
bones rattle before men from the Atlantic
to the Pacific.
I'VE need in our country more OF that
fiery, righteous Indignation that scorches
and burns to ashes dishonesty, even
though millionaires be the subjects OF
such >indignation.'
political Office holding, DR.. Shannon de-
clared that the man who buys his way
into the House or the Senate Is no bet
ter than a burglar who by means OF
force breaks into a home where he does
not belong.

road, and Clifford H. Brush Of 2433 18th
street northwest were occupants Of an
automobile that ran off the Conduit road
near Glen Echo over an embankment
yesterday afternoon about $40 o'clock.
The accident happened when Brush who

the car rolled over before it reached the
bottom of the embankment. Kemper sus-
tanned painful injuries to his back and
chest. and was taken to Georgetown

up and bruised, but his condition was not
such that he deemed 1t necessary to go
| to the hospital.

the accident in the Vice Presidents au-
tomobile shortly after the accident hap
pened. He took Kemper in the automo-

wheels over the edge Of the embankment
Mr.. Brush remained and repaired the
car, returning to the city later.

they can break them without going to

lel H. Woodrow, pastor of First Con-
gregational Church. in a sermon yes
terday on The Greatest Need of Our
Nation
We are a nation of lawmakers" he
said, I'VE love 10 make laws. but we
also have a temptation TO break our own
laws. The greater part Of the people are
good. and would not break laws inten-
uonally. They, too, however. break the
less important ones.
This nation is among the wealthiest
IN the world" said DR.. Woodrow. "Our
wealth has increased enormously But
wealth is not sufficient to make a great
nation Education is a factor, but not
the most important one. The greatest
need OF the nation is realization of the
power for good of the Christian church"
