HARRY LAUDER lM~PoLrrrcs
From the Detroit Free Pressl

From the Detroit Free Pressl
 Harry Lauder. Scottish comedian. minstrel and patriot, announces that he will be candidate for election to the British Parliament at the next general election And his purpose is plain when he adds that he will run against Ramsay Mcdonald or Philip Snowden, both belonging to what is known as the British Socialist Labor "pacilst" group.
 All who have heard Lauder speak on the war know the intensity with which he opposes those who favor any end to the struggle short of a knock out victory by the Allies and Ameri- ca. Having lost his only son on the west front, he has entered upon the work of arousing and sustaining the spirit of the Allied peoples with this one end in view-that civilian press ure be prevented from demanding a premature peace. In America. in Aus tralia, in France and in Great Britain he has used his stage work as a means to gather hundreds of thousands of people together for the purpose of swaying their hearts and their sym pathies by hisSupdozbted great powers as a preacherSS
 We doubt *if@any single man has been so effective in this respect as has Harry Lander. His words have sunk deeper than have the words o1 any other man or woman who, coming from the front has tried to make us one with the boys over there. They have moved thousands of people to un- disguised unashamed tears where scores of others, using almost the same words, have failed to excite more than interest.
 Why as this been so? What is the basis of Harry Lauder's appeal It is, very larger1y, the obvious inten- sity and deadly sincerity of the mar coupled, no doubt, with the common l knowledge of his bereavement. Bu l it is also the consummate artistry O 1 the man, able not only to feel the in justices of the war. to the very bottom 1 of his warm Scotch heart, but as vel 1 to lay the latter bare to his audiences 1 without any touch of maudlinism O | unmanliness.
 1 It occurs to us that all this vii prove of inestimable value to Laude when he runs for Parliament. We d. not envy his opponent, however stron;
 he may be in his constituency. Lau
 der will bring to British politics i sense of reality that cannot help bu
 be refreshing and cleansing Pohtica contests are too apt to skate on tn surface of life and to ignore the deep CT emotions Harry Lauder will SC
 to it that the electorate to which h 1 appeals has full dose of red -bloodeC soul stirring issues to consider.

PASTOR OF PLYMOUTH CHURCH
 BROOKLYN, WINS pEcIslor
Against Frank L. Ferguson, Former President of the Plymouth Trustees.

New York. Aug. 1.-r suit brought by the Rev. pr. Newell Dwight Hills, pastor of Plymouth church, of Brooklyn. against Frank L. Ferguson, former president of the Plymouth trustees, was decided in the clergyman's favor today by a referee appointed by the court to determine the justice of Dr. Hills demand for an accounting. MT Ferguson acted as business administrator in Dr. HiIlis' numerous business enterprises, includ- ing the purchase of Canadian timber lands.
 The referee, William D. Dickey, held that Mir. Ferguson owes pr. HiIlis SlO.00O and that various claims which MT. Ferguson put in for services and expenses, aggregating about $55. 900, were not justified The referee added;
 The temptation is strong to preach sermon on the impropriety, to use TO hafsher words, of ministers, while they are ministers. engaging in any speculative business where the specu- lation is to be carried on with money of others. who entrusted their earn irgs to a minister because he is a minister, relying on everything that belongs to the ministerial office"
 The referee said that regardless of Dr. Hills dealings with persons who purchased timber from him. mo amount of misrepresentation by him + there was Such,' will in any way justify, excuse or palliata a brea oh of trust on the part of the defendant (Arr hersusop) or permit him to wrong fully appropriate to himself the mon ey of his principal. coming into his hands as attorney and agent or per init him to make a. charge to his eli f v1f ok
 on between them"
 The referee held that instead of Mir. Ferguson organizing the Imperial Timber Holding Company to facili- tate the sale of Dr. Hills timber, as claimed by MT. Ferguson, the latter was to receive 8 largo part of the stock, and that MT. Ferguson was, for his own benefit, a party of exploita- tion of Dr. Hills.
 The referees decision. subject to confirmation by the state supreme court, was made after 2;500 pages of testimony had been taken. coYering I nearly three years of inquiry. Dr. Hills alleged that MT Ferguson owed 1 h'm S155.000 and the defendant made
 Q counter claim against the clergyman 1 for $s6.e00. IDr. Hilhs' iesal fight was i financed in part hy members of Ply l mouth Church a- pastorata once held 1 by Henry Ward Reecher. As set forth in the referees decis- i ion. Mr. Ferguson sought to show that

Thinking and speaking just as mere farmers, you and I have to take our dirt as we find it and. our weather as it comes. We didn't make either one and neither one is often just what we would desire for our special, private individual purposes.
 The point is that our, special, pri- vate, individual purposes are not the only ones in the universe nor even the controlling ones. It may be that an inch of rainfall on my half acre, this afternoon, would do the crops much good. The same rainfall might do irretr.viable damage to thousands of acres of mown grass, begging for hot sunshine to make it into hay. Even we can see that. but that isn't all there is to it. Beyond my gardens and your meadows are ten thousand other elements. many of them unknown to us and unknowable by us but all within the eye-sweep of the All Wise. Hath not the potter power over the clay? And shall the pot say to the potter how it shall be fashioned?
