THE CHURCH MILITANT

The Nationwide campaign OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church,
which eliminated in the every
member canvass on last Sunday
afternoon, was a heart and soul
movement which has SO aroused
the militancy of the Church that
all Christendom rejoices in the
new found strength.
The Church has been all too
complacent in the past about as
sorting its rightful place in the
affairs of men and its mission on
earth has not been given the inn
petus which, on account Of its SUI
premc Impotence, was bound to
come sooner or later. The Ma
tion-wide campaign was the sum-
moning-up OF the Church's power
for her fully understood and fully
accepted spiritual war, 1t was the
calling into expression through
the Church, for the furtherance
of the Kingdom of God, of the
same intelligence, the same swift
efficiency, the same high conse-
Grafton, which the spirit of man
and woman in America rose at
the ehallenge of the World War
In the war we were bound to-
gether in a great cause and our
hearts were fired with service for
that cause.
Now that the spirit Of America
has been sustained and vindi-
Gated, we can surely conserve and
put to spiritual use, in the SUI
preme cause of Christianity, the
magnificent energies for idealistic
action which the last two years
have taught lis to expect from
the American spirit in the hour
of trial and high endeavor
The first business of the ma
tion-widc Campaign" was to
bring home the fact that in the
Church's spiritual adventure
there is something that thrills our
best strength into action. 1t bids
us consider what the Church is
here for. what the Church is do
ing and what the Church ought
to do, to the end that each indi-
vidual may recognize the inSplr-
ing bigness of the Church's duty
and in the midst of it see the par
ticular force OF personal response
bility and service. This duty
means the carrying of the
Church's ideals into every prac-
teal and everyday affair of life.
1t means that the impact of Chris
4iap convictions * 70 he felt in
the business. the industry, the
politics of city, county, state and
nation. 1t means the world
wide vision and purpose of Chris
tan missions.
We can say, with all rever-
ence. MORE POWER TO THE
CHURCH MILITANT.

a demand tor investigation of the

II. COwan Of Fort Worth. counsel for
the American Live Stock Association
There has been n riot OF extraya-

tration of the railroads." he said,
and the profligacy of expenditure
would astound the public, were the
facts made known.
They talk about their economies
OF unified control and consolidation
OF management" said Mr.. Cowan.
There has been no such economies.
Money has been unnecessarily paid,
wage increases have gone to men not
entitled to them, and in some in
stances men, knowing that they we're
not entitled to them, have donated
them to the Red Cross. Stacks of
legitimate claims are piled in the Of
flee OF the railroad administration
In Washington that arc being denied
payment. On perishable shipments
alone during the year of government
operation, losses sustained by the
shippers have actually exceeded the
revenues collected by the railroads
on these shipments. Payment OF
these claims has been held up as the
result Of an order from the railroad
administration in which MIR. McAdoo
then director general. claimed the
right to review and set aside the
findings Of the courts. even Of the
supreme court of the United States. -
Mr.. Cowan complained bitterly OF
the lack of redress of shippers who
have suffered wrongs under the fed
eral operation Of railroads.
I'm effect the law has been sus-
PENDED" said he, 80 there is In
practical effect no right the shipper
can enforce. The shippers rights in
the main are by grace Of the railroad
administration. BY giving the Presi.
dent power to initiate rates. without
power to suspend these rates being
left with the Interstate Commerce
commission, the authority of the
President in this respect is made alb
solute. The power to make rates
coupled with the obligation for tht
standard return to be paid by appro
priation invites profligate expendi
lures and inefficiency.
What Is said of rates likewis,
applies to service. There are no pen
alties or remedies adequate to com
pei the doing of anything. The ad
ministration insisted when the fed
eral control act was up for passag,
| by Congress that the operating in
com" of railroads would pay tht
standard return guaranteed to tn,
railroads. We then insisted that i
would require an advance Of 20 pc
cent in the rates. 1t actually re-
suited in so per cent advance. fol
