considerable attention but the organ
has demanded the attention OF the CIT
liens from all the other churches and
all have been anxious to hear It. 1t is

platform and a new addition In front
of it is choir platform that the

is located in the basement and the
sound of the motor Is deadened by
thick reinforced walls and floor. and
the sounds of the organ are completely
audible in no way being interrupted by
the buzz OF the motor. It Is expected
that in the form Of defeating the or

be engaged later and concert will be
given. This is the third new organ
that has been Installed in the town in

EXPIRES. Taft Says
Make a Full Pause.

Philadelphia, Jan. 21.-Former
President Taft called halt tonight in
the movement toward "Purer Demoe-
racX' and greater social and individual
freedom. In a speech at the Com
mencement exercises of local bust
ness college, he arraigned Practical
reformers" and .demagogues" who
seek to arouse class consciousness.
Mr.. Taft admitted the benefits or
many modern crusades, but added:
The people are sufficiently aroused.
Now let common sense prevail to dis
tinguish between what is good ana
practical and what is Turing, but de-
ceitful, in it's promises"
Speaking of attempts to cure de-
fects in education by more democracy
he said;
I'VE have had the ridiculous exhibit
ton of school children striking be-
cause some favorite principal was
transferred to another school and we
find the newspapers stimulating such
movements and weak-minded parents
looking with pride upon the courage
and enterprise of their offspring.
The former President dwelt at length
upon the dangers of sex literature and
sex plays which, he said, spread lu-
briefly under the plea that vice may be
avoided by teaching its awful conse-
quences.
BY dwelling on its details and explain
ing it's penalties sexual subjects are OBJ
truded into discussion between the sexes.
lectures are delivered on them and text
books are written, and former restraints
of modesty are abandoned.
The general attitude of suspicion and
hostility toward the well-to-do and sue
cessful, Mr.. Taft continued. makes them
natural object of attack by those who
are seeking scapegoats for those who
have yielded to temptation and sin. AS
proof he called attention to the attempt
to foist upon the owners of cooperative
stores the responsibility for the yielding
of their women employees to vice.
