CRAFT IS CURSE
Of THIS COUNTRY
Rev. c. A. Decker in Series of
Sermons on What is Wrong
With America, Says 1t Exists
Everywhere.

In the third OF his series OF SER
mons on the subject What is the Mat
ter With American" Rev. c. A. Deck
e., rastor Of the FRS. Baptist church,
In ais SUNDAY evening sermon en-
phasizcd the fact that graft Of all
kinds is one Of the great weaknesses
Of the country. His subject was The
grating Profession is OvercrOwded."
lie stated that the people Of Eu-
ropc look upon America as the land
OF opportunity. and the land OF graft.
This graft manifcsts itself in various
WAYS The grating methods Of
churches he denounced along with
the grating OF other classes.
ct feel sorry nc said. "fOr the
merchants who arc neld up for tickets
that they cannot use, and cOntribu-
tious for things in which they are
not Interested The church has no
business 20 force man 10 buy its
rattle tickets simply because the peO-
pic " the church trade at his store
md this is often done N the name Of
religion"
he quoted from tho New York
budget exhibit TO show how cities have
L. stand FOR CRAFTS % all kinds THIS
repO~. showed how cities pay two or
three times the market price for many
Of the articles used. and how grafters
for their own purposes.
Graft accounts for a great amount
or the vice and lawlessness in COM
munities where gTafters arc in con-
troll" Mr. Decker stated Vice ex-
lists in most cities, not because il can
not be eradicated. but because graft
ing officials protect it, Every inves-
tgation reveals this. There are fewer
people in any town who want vice
Fn n -frr ID "a,
We have il? Graft is the answer.
Those who want graft and profit
by vice can pay, and in America peO-
pie can have most anything if they
can pay for il. The main reason why
these things continue in a community
is because of the Indifference of the
average citizen. If you steal his purse
or break into his house, you hear a
vigorous protest, but steal his salary
or wages through rent. taxes or as
sessments and he pays no attention
to il.
THE second reason for the existence
Of graft is that many fear to protest
against grating by others because
they are grafters themselves. The big
grafters graft because the little graft
ers graft.
The official who gets his electric
lights free can't protest against any
thing that the company docs. There
are so many whose affairs won't bear
Investigation that their mouths are
closed about the affairs Of others"
Mr. Decker advocated three rene
dies for the evil. These are. an
ethical and spiritual awakening on
the part of the people, a return to
the simple life, where people would
not be led into dishonesty from try
ing TO teep up with the extravagancies
Of The idle rich, and an Increase in
re amount of moral teaching in the
public schools.
