Criticizes Religious Organization

Editor News
Reporters and correspondents in nos
ing around run up on things that looi
very queer sometimes, most especially
when it concerns church. "All il
not gold that glitters," is a mighty
true saying. While concede to every
church the right to apply her own pc
cular standard of measurement for it,
members to be measured by, | hardly
think it is just the thing for her tx
evade and shirk her duty toward the
innocent that she might keep out those
she don't want
/ believe each church should have
grace and grit enough to always act
openly in such matters pertaining tc
church membership, and under no con
sideration should church use evas-
i've, or deceptive measures to keep out
those she don't want. The Holiness
people are undoubtedly arrogant in
some of their ways. They reject secret
oath bound society people, excommun-
icate the tobacco and intoxicant users,
and in this case l am referring to-,
they used evasion to prevent some who
claim sanctifcation from becoming
members of their church because they
were married to divorced people. Did
MT have grace and courage to uphold
their discipline without using some
kind of subterfuge in the premises.
The excuse was shabby and tiimsy.
They didn't want any division among
them. They didn' want to take some
in and leave some out. Whipping the
devil around the stump, so as to speak,
yet the preacher said ''he knowed
they was sanctified," but they were
living in way that was 'objectiona-
BILE to the church, is the sum and sub
stance of the mattre, as l see it. l
might run after such people to joia
their church, but l don't think l
would. They don't practice what they
preach every time. They accept these
people in their worship and recognize
them as sanctifed people and yet
won't receive them as church men,
bers and use deceit to keep from re-
ceiving them. That's the size of it,
and the only excuse they have for not
opening the church door for members
is afraid these persons might want to
join the church

 COMMENDS RECENT LETTER OF FINLEY

To the Editor of The AgeHerald:
 The Age-Herald of the 18th contains a very interesting statement from President Finley of the Southern Railway company on the wage question. With fair, frank statement such as this before the em- ployes there should be no trouble or diff ferences that cannot be equitably set tied. It would be well if the headts ot other large corporations would treat with their employees in the same manner; fewer strikes would occur. MT. Finley not only puts the question in business-lille way, but in a friendly way, and anyone know ing the man readily understands his sin cerity. The public will watch the outcome with interest. for, if the policy pursued by MT. Finley does not avail, there Is no hope for a peaceful adjustment of wage controversies. H. L. BADHAM.

 Throughout yesterday President Exum was besieged with telegrams from ya- rious prominent citizens of Atlanta to come to that city and tell them about commission governed municipality. Off, fers of entertainment and hospitality at various homes were also proffered.
 Mir. Exum, in view of the good roads meeting. the Underwriters and the River and Basin convention, and a commission meeting Tuesday did not feel warranted to attend Tuesday. He so advised the Atlanta men and they changed the date accordingly. President Exum assured them that he would be over Thursday with his message of commission. He said that he believed a straightforward bus mess talk about the commission would be the best to serve the Atlanta peo- pie.
 T can readily enlighten anyone display ing an interest in the commission,' said MT. Exum, 'by simply telling them frankly how simple the work is.

 Louise left London today to join the Ger

 T6f Imperial visitors spent the week 1<re more like tourists than members of Royalty, having devoted all of their spare time to sightseeing at the picture gal -leries, geological gardens and museums and at the naval and military tournament. While out driving or walking they con ducted themselves with remarkable ab- sence of formality.
 E King George and Queen Mary, together with other members of the royal families in London, bade farewell to the imperial family at the railroad station.
 The attention which Emperor William during his visit in London paid to the Prince of Wales and the official an nouncement that the Prince will visit Potsdam during the present summer has given zest to the gossip regarding the pos sibility of a marriage between the Prince of Wales and Princess Victoria Louise, the only daughter of the German Elm peror.

Atlanta, May 2O-(SpeciaL)- teach CTS committee of the board of education has at last completed the momentous con sideration of the matter of frins in the public schools.
 By 'frills'' is meant the departments of music, drawing, and physical culture, ana owing to the long drawn-out controversy ever 'frills'' at least one councilman has learned just what the word means Also it Is doubtful if he ever utters the word again.
 r7Councilman Nutting months ago decided that these departments were barely essen- ucation and said so. Later on he quail fled his assertion with the explanation that what he objected to was the man. ner in which they wfre taught in Allan ta. Be that as it may, the ladies of the city proceeded to show that while the, can't vote, they car make enough rougi house to prevent any mere man voting against the things thev stand for.

R. R. COMMISSION
 NO HIGHER RATES

Atlanta, May 2O-(special) )-The Geor- gia railroad commission has declared it. self supreme in the matter of making rates, and incidentally has given the Fulton county commission a slap in the face.
 Some time ago the Georgia Railway and Electric company decided that it would accede to the request of citizens and of club members and extend it's line out Peachtree to Brookhaven, a new club for automobilists.
 In or6cr 10 meet the increased expense, thc company asked permission to raise the fare on this line from cents to 10 cents, and the Fulton county commission said "Go ahead it looks good to us.'
 Then application was made to the rail- road commission, and the refusal was fiat. The line wont be built at present and maybe not at all. The commission says that the county commission has no authority over rates, and that if the com pany wants to charge higher rate, it will have to apply to the commission to make a reasonable rate.
