America, the Rev. Harry Emerson

Of Union Theological Seminary,

states, apparently propose to settle
the matter Of the social application
OF the principles of Jesus by money.

That there are commercial associa-
tions in the field to buy on or
threaten those church organizations
which have begun to take an active
interest in the problem Of justice for
the laborer, nobody who watched the
growth and collapse Of the Inter-
church Movement can doubt. The
interchurch campaign progressed
excellently until its leaders sponsor
ed report on conditions in the steel
industry which dared to indict the
companies for the prevalence OF in
humanity long hours. low wages
and strong-arm tactics to prevent or
| ganization. Almost overnight the
Interchurch Movement disappeared.
1t failed. specifically, for lack of A.
nancial support, and 1t lacked sup
port among the well-to-do because it
was to annoyingly honest in scrutiny
Of their sources OF income.
The publication of the interchurch
report and the unequivocal manner
in which the churches have stood
back Of it in spite OF monetary loss
constitute one of the fairest pages in
American ecclesiastical history. I,
becomes evident that the churches
are not for sale. It is the sort o!
courageous action which will rally

hands the power to permeate Ameri

LOCAL ARCHITECT
FIRM PLANS FOR
MAQUOKETA HIGH

Plans for temporary school quar-
tiers for pupils of MaQuoketa. Iowa,
TO replace the building destroyed
by fire early yesterday morning,
are being made by Cervin * Horn,
Rock Island architects.
Ben Horn is in Maquoketa today
meeting with the board OF educa
ton to obtain data before making
preliminary sketches for temporary
quarters until new building can
be erected.
The present manual training
school is practically intact except
for some broken glass on the
north side and will lend itself we'll
in plan and design to connecting
up with the new building. o. T..
Cervin was the architect for this
building when it was erected about
eight years ago. The fire yester-
day is believed to have started il
the basement and caused spUnta-
neous combustion. The loss was
about $150,000.
The high school is built on a
high hill and it is because of this
that the building became q total
loss. The high school was consid-
cred one of the model high schools
of Iowa

ONLY MOSLEMS
OPPOSE FRENCH
RULE IN SYRIA

Beirut, Syria-The streets of
this ancient city which for hun
dreds of years have borne old Arab
names have been given French des-
ignations as one of the results of
the French mandate. Although the
Moslem press, which represents a
majority of the people. manifests
the spirit of public antagonism to
the introduction by the authorities
of French customs and the French
language, it comedies that French
occupation has been a boon to
Syria.
The financial conditions of the
province are more stable now. New
laws and regulations have been
made for the bar, placing the legal
profession on a higher basis. "A
new police force has been organ
lied, assuring the population. of
better security than existed during
the Turkish regime New and
modern public schools are raising
the standard of education. In brief,
reforms have taken place in all
branches of the government for the
betterment of Syria.
A noteworthy event occurred a
few days ago when Marshal Gou-
raud, the French high commission
er, proclaimed the new constitu-
ton.

THE hotel industry" he writes,

the increased cost of living, still
it must be admitted that a number

SOCIETY PLANS
TO REVITALIzE
LIFE OF FAMILY
Vigilance Society Association of ILL.,
nOis to Wage Campaign in
Behalf of Girls.

Chicago, Dec. 30.-The Illinois
Vigilance association will launch
statewide campaign next week to
revitalize the home and revivify
family life, DR.. Philip Yarrow, of
Chicago, field superintendent of the
association, announces.
Out of 500 morals court cases
cared for last year over so per cent
of the unfortunate girls had known
no real family life and had been al
most entirely neglected as to moral
and religious education" DR.. Var
row said in explanation.
In some cases their parents were
brutalized by drink and passion, in
some they were simply ignorant, in
other cases they were informed
themselves but apparently indif-
ferent about their children'S en-
lightenment. In certain instances
wealth with its softening life had
failed to maintain the home intact
or to give the offspring needed
training.
Easy Victims.
These are the girls who frequent
the disOrderly cabaret and the de-
moralizing jazz dance halls and
who, with no moral background on
which to rely, fall easy victims to
the unscrupulous men encountered
at these places.
We are fully aware that eco
nomic and industrial forces have
jointly conspired against the integ
rity of the family group and that
return to the conditions existing
prior to the industrial revolution is
impossible. The disintegration of
the home has been gradual and to
many unperceived. Little by little
have the elements formerly thought
essential to family life been dis
carded.
To-day the members of the fam
lily never sit down together at
breakfast, they are always sep
arated at the lunch hour, and fire.
quently they are not united even at
dinner time. An evening Spent all
together as a family group has
come to be considered archaic.
Much can be done to deepen and
enrich present day family life and
with this conviction the Illinois
Vigilance association plans to enter
its campaign"
