Declares Harding Going
Back" While Gov. Cox
Stands for Progress.
(By UniversaI serviee.l


Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation or Labor,
makes a new attack upon Senator
Harding and the Republican plat
form in the current issue of the
American Federationist, released
here yesterday.
The two leading candidates for
the Presidency have defined clearly
their attitude toward the great
public issues" he says.
"In effect. Senator Harding says,
Let us return 20 normally
"Gov. Cox says, am for prog

Senator Harding does not use
the word normal he speaks Of

and so is the condition to which
he would return.
rUnquestionably, in the mind of
Senator Harding, a return to nor
NAL means a return to the condi-
tions that existed before the war
to something that is past.
Gov. Cox proclsims a desire to
go forward and a determination to
lead the nation in a forward course
Both of these statements are alb
stractions and OF themselves mean
nothing beyond a definition Of the
general trend of thought of the can
didates. The important fact is, how
ever, that the platforms of the par
ties upon which these candidates
stand and their own personal phil
osophies lead inevitably and nat
urally up TO the conclusions found
in those two brief utterances.
Harding says, I am for going
backward
Cox says. I am for going for
ward
The Republican party platform
makes no acknowledgment of the
right of the workers to organize
into trade unions and to elect their
own representatives for consulta-
tion and negotiation with employ
ers. Neither does the Republican
party platform make any provision
for the protection Of the workers
against unwarrantable use Of the
writ of injunction.
The high cost OF living is an is
sue felt in every home in the United
States. And there is today no more
promise OF relief than there was six
months ago.
Upon an issue so vital the Re

shown by the Federal Farm Loan

A controversy is now on between
the Board and the National Union

fact that the association is making
an annual charge of $40 to the

Join this organization.
The Federal Farm Loan Board
has notified farm loan associations
throughout the country that no
funds of the associations can be
used for this purpose. The Board
has also declared that there is no

effort to enforce a State statute
known as the vagrancy law failed
in court here yesterday, when Leon
Chrismore and Herbert Athey, al

charges of violation of the State
liquor laws. were charged with liv-

means of support.
In the case of Chrismore II was
shown that he had an interest in
three houses now being rented and
had worked at various places and
times. In the case of Athey, It was
shown he had served eight months

Profanity Possible in Acts as
Well as Speech, Says Rev.
!. N. Pierce at First Con-
gregational Church.

Warning against empty profess
sion of Christianity and urging ac-
tually living a Christian life in ac-
cordance with the teachings OF
Jesus Christ. the Rev. Jason Noble
Pierce said last night at the First
Congregational Church.
1T was by no mere accident that
Jesus placed the words. 'Hallowed
Be Thy Name as Abe first petition
in the prayer he gave to his dis
ciples and to all mankind. The
position is significant and Jesus
sought TO emphasize the esteem IN
which He held His name,
Two Kinds of Profanity.
IF we prize a good name, how
much more must Christ prize His.
We must not use it lightly as {,
mere label for what we outwardly
profess but fail to practice.
There are two ways in which We
may swear or use the Name or
Christ profanely. The first is by
what we say, or by what we think
but fortunately do not say. 1t is
better to think profanely without
saying what we think, for that at
least shows resistance. But 1t is
better still not to think profane
thoughts. The habit of speaking
profanely, like all other bad habits,
is easily acquired and hard to over
come. 1t is most vicious habit
and it Invariably stamps a man as
mentally inferior. The man who
swears habitually usually relies on
oaths as substitute for real
thinking.
"Swearing Christian No Credit"
The second way in which we
may be guilty of using profanity Is
by what we actually do. Some men
pride themselves on never swearing
and yet their lives are eloquently
profane. We must remember that
in the Commandment, Thou shalt
not take the Name of the Lord thy
God in vain there Is no direct ref
erence to actually speaking the
name.
I'VE call ourselves Christians.
We must live up to that title-for
it is a hallowed name and not to be
regarded lightly. A swearing
Christian is no credit to any church
When Jesus taught His disciples to
pray. Hallowed Be Thy Name He
meant that they should live up to
His ideal of a Christian life"

God Greatest Educator in
Whole Universe, Says DR..
H.A. Upper In Sermon
AT First Baptist Church.

God as educator was the theme
of the Rev. Henry Allen Tupper in
the First Baptist Church yesterday
morning.
The greatest educator in the
universe is God, Himself" said the
Rev. Tupper.
From our birth until He opens
the door into the Great University
beyond, He has had all of US in
school; and each day He has been
trying to teach us great lessons. He
gives US three books to take to
school every day of our lives: First.
the book of Nature. David the
Psalmist was studying this book
when he declared:
The heavens declare the glory
Of God; and the armament shcweth
His handiwork'
What a beautifully and bril-
Itantly illustrated and illuminated
book this is, What lessons are
taught to the student of Nature by
the splendors of the starry heavens {,
BY the sun as 1t majestically moves
through the golden portals of a new
day! .
Second. the book of Providence.
opened before us in the sChOOlroom
of life, teaching us lessons of Gods $
providential care and guidance. In
reviewing our life we must see an
invisible hand guiding us in all our
ways. writing on all the events of
our lives the lessons of love. protec-
tiOn. care and trust.
Third, the Book of Revelation,
where God opens his most wonder
full tome. In nature we see God as
we see the sun in a picture: in
providence. we see God as we see
the sun in cloud: but in revela-
tion we see God As we see the sun
in its clear, bright beams.

Trade Training Urged For Women
By Women's Labor Bureau Head
In Report on Broader Policy Needs

That women may reach the more
skilled and remunerative jobs now
occupied by men. IA the purpose of
report by Mary Anderson, Direc-
tor of the Women's Bureau Of the
Department of Labor, who urges the
vocational facilities of industrial
States to be opened to women as
well as men.
According to her report women
are discouraged from entering vo-
cational schools. some of which do
not even admit women to their
courses.
The increase in the numbers OF
wage earning women" says the re-
port, "the demonstrated capabilities
The Washington herald., 1920-09-27

Of women during the war, the de-
crease in male immigrant labor. and
the growing demands of our expand
ing industries call, not only for the
admission Of women into courses in
machine shop, sheet metal. factory
woodmaking and optical work, but
for the same policy among voca-
tional educators OF encouraging
boys to take such instruction"
If plans of the Womens Bureau
OF the Department of Labor are
worked out, a definite campaign
will be launched to arouse com
munities and employers as well as
girls and women to the need of
trade training.

Sermons Heard Here Yesterday
Spiritual Architecture" Is
Discussed by Rev. Wal
lace Radcliffe at New
York Avenue Church.

True doctrine is essential to
life" declared the Rev. Wallace
Radcliffe in New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church yesterday
morning.
Taking as his theme, spiritual
Architecture" the Rev. Mr.. Rad
cliffe said in part:
AN edifice is a building, but not
everyone remembers that to edify is
to build up. We are here to edify
one another. and that means simply
to build up one another. Each man
is a builder. Sometimes. with pas
sions dominant, he is only building
a pig sty. Sometimes only a shop
or Punch and Judy show. But the
true building is a temple.
THE gold and silver may be upon
sandy foundation whose end is
destruction.
"Must Build on Christ"
mo life endures beautiful and Sc
cure that is not built upon Jesus
Christ. None is built in a day. No
walls rise to the music of a holiday.
Character always rises stone upon
stone. We build each other. No
man is so strong that he may not
be edited: none so weak that he
cannot edify. No man can build
himself. We get by giving. We
gain by losing. We live by dying.
The monk in his cell is more apt to
rust than to grow. The best men
in any community are not those
independent of the church. The
man who never reads is not the
most intelligent. Growth compels
attrition, Companionship, cOmpari-
sons, revelations.
True Doctrine Necessary.
THE church needs you and you
need the church. The tools in this
building are as of yore-the golden
candlcstick, the table of shewbread
and the altar of incense. Modern
ism is a false architect. Doctrine is
a necessity. 1t makes all the diff
ference in the world what. a man
believes. True doctrine is essential
to true life. Take away doctrine
and you take out the back bone of
men or institutions"

but also become store houses for
disease germs which distribute

Moreover, the presence of deCayed

the mouth the first thing each

should be used to clean the teeth.
This should be repeated at night
Just before retiring. Some good
