THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

Without doubt there is an overwhelm-
ng majority Of the American people who
are waiting TO vote against another dem
ocratic administration to be sworn in
aext March. As a bedrock proposition it
ian be stated that they are tired of
democracy and particularly of Wilson

1t will be the duty of the Chicago con-

convention rises to its opportunity by
presenting a candidate big enough and a
platform broad enough to accommodate

BUSINESS IN RELIGIoN.

1t has remained for Bruce Barton to
disclose St. Paul in a new light and the
Bible as the best treatise on salesman
ship. Addressing the Federal Council of
Churches at Cleveland, Mr.. Barton de-
clared that est Paul sold religion to
Athens when it was fearfully overstoek-
ed with religions of its own; and he did
1t by making survey of the situation
and utilizing conditions at hand, just
as modern statesmen must do"
Modern business methods In the man
agement of church affairs were under
discussion when Mr.. Barton cited St.
Paul as an example of the successful ap-
plication of business methods to relfg-
ious work. Utilization of worldly wis
dom may well be used to forward the ezl
tension of the kingdom of the spirit but
it is a poor excuse for indifferent and
slip-shod methods to plead that the doors
are serving the Lord. In fact, might it
not almost be designated form of sac
rilege to insult the Deity with the kind
of work that any secular institution
would repudiate?
The principle of sound business and
true religion are not antagonistic, but
should go hand in hand.
The strong churches today are the
churches that have applied the princi-
| pies that lead to success in secular af.
fairs. The practical side does not ex'
pei the spiritual; conservation and en-
thusiasm are more likely to be found
where the church is conducted efficiently
and frictionlessly than in cases where
there is no discipline, no assignment Of
duties and functions, no business system

called for alongside his theological cru
dition. If it is irreligious to be an abb
executive, then St. Paul was one of thu

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2.-Thorourh
investigation Of election irregularities
of every nature by ali United States
attorneys was ordered to-day by At
torney General Palmer. The orders
specified that Federal agents should
take cognizance of local situations
where accusations of fraud have been
made, whether or not a Federal inves-
tlgation has been requested.
1t was understood that fraud and
graft charges arising out of several
primaries were included in the investi-
CATION, but the localities in which these
have been ordered were not disclosed.
The Department of Justice has re-
ceived scores OF communications as
serting fraud had been practiced in
state primaries. Most Of these have
been turned over to district ATTORNEYS.
who are empowered to conduct such
Investigations without specific direc-
tions. Instructions Of the sort sent
out to-day, therefore, were declared to
mean extra vigilance on the part of
the government.
The new instructions were described
as of sweeping character designed to
cover any campaign irregularity and
were said to have stressed the need for
close scrutiny of the use of money.
District attorneys were informed that
charges of vote buying and accusations
of bribery should be given especial at
tention wherever the Federal govern
ment had jurisdiction.
Mr.. Palmer said the departments
corps of agents was 'far below the
number required" because sufficient
appropriation was not provided by the
last Congress. The bureau of inves-
tigation has less than 1000 agents with
which to do it's work, it was said.
Federal agents will work in CO.
operation with state and local author
tiles, and, where possible, the state
courts will be given jurisdiction to
avoid further jamming of the over
crowded Federal courts

'sDeportees League Is
Formed by Reds for Test
TweMty-seven Radicals Are Mem
bers; Seek Release Based
on DeWaII Ruliuo

Twenty-seven radicals awaiting de-
portation, some of them in jail and
some of them out on bail, have formed
"The Deportees League" to make test
case of one of the deportees recently
transferred from Ellis Island to Bos-
ton. They will sue for the freedom of
all radicals, held in the United States
under warrants of deportation basing
their case on the decision of Judge
Hough of the Federal Court in the case
of Martin De Wall.
The radicals say that the govern
ment has no right to hold them in
definitely when it admits it has no
means of transporting them from the
United States. Judge Hough ordered
Martin De Wall liberated after he had
been held here two years awaiting de-
portation.
The difference in the case of De Wall
from other deportees, however, was not
so much that there was no available
transportation for him, as that he was
an man without country. No foreign
government would grant him a pass
port.

poses Greater Executive Power
in Making Appointments

GENEVA, N. Y, Oct. "A more

and more intelligent handling of state
affairs are needed, Judge Nathan l..
Miller, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. declared in an address in this
city. tonight. He said he opposed any
reconstruction plan giving greater ex-
ecutive power to the Governor in the
appointment of state officers.
Judge Miller condemned price fixing
and present policies of state and Fed
eral administrations in general.
Promising, if elected, to "end the wild
policy of appropriations that has
marked state business in late years."
he pledged himself to uphold the Con-
stitution," referring to the dry amend
ment as law to be honestly admins
tered
Speaking later at Seneca Falls, Judge
Miller characterized the excess profits
tax as delusion. "It was thought that
by taxing few the general mass could
be saved from the burden of taxation" :"
he said. Every manufacturer and
every person handling goods computes
the cost of profits tax and then adds
commission to it until the ultimate
consumer pays an exorbitant price"
Judge Miller said he considers the
high cost of government a paramount
issue IN the national campaign.

Colored Voters Against Cox

The grievance of the colored voters
throughout the country, and especially
IN Ohio, against Governor James NJ.
Cox is that on February %, 1919, when
the "Fighting Ninth" battalion, Ohio's
contribution of colored enlisted men in
the World War, returned from France
Governor Cox was not on hand to greet
them and the national colors were not
displayed at the Columbus Capitol
The Governor had been up the night
before attending a banquet given in
honor of Colonel Deeds, whose organi-
cation spent S1,O51 100000 preparing to
manufacture airplanes, while not sin
gle combat plane was sent to France.
There was no official welcome ten
dered on the part of the State of Ohio,
and in consequence of this Governor
Cox was censured by the Ohio Legisa-
ture. The reports from Ohio indicate
that Cox will receive less than one
tenth of l per cent. Of the negro vote
in his own state
