COUNTY QUOTATIONS

In the forthcoming printed report
of the conclusions and recommended
tions of the Salem County Survey there
will appear the following paragraph,
which is worth careful consideration
by the Christian people of the County:
Investment in Religion. AS stated,
compared with other counties, the
white Protestant Churches of Salem
County make a fair showing in per
capita giving. When the wealth of
the County is considered, however,
the showing is not so good. The proof
of this lies within the County itself.
The white people are admittedly in a
stronger economic position than the
negroes. Yet, if the members of the
white evangelical Churches gave as
much per capita as do their negro
brethren, the income of their Churches
would be $4,000 higher than it is at
present. This sum would put in effect
all the suggestions growing out of
this survey, and could raise minis
terial salaries so that much of the
restlessness noted would disappear,
could provide needed educational and
social equipment and general increase
missionary effort"
We recently attended a meeting IN
the interest of reduction of arma-
ments. 1t was called to cooperate
with the movement throughout the
country to cultivate a sentiment of
disarmament. The principal speaker
said the usual things regarding war,
the horrors it produces and the cost it
imposes. He, also, INDUCED in what
sounded like an arrangement of Chris
tianity. of the sort popular in some
circles during the war and, perhaps,
to some extent eXcusable then in the
~hysterical and confused state of the
public mind.
What he said, however, appeared
wanting in that quality which is so
dear to the Scotch mind and valuable
for minds of all n~ationalities, "dis-
crimination." We could not but
wonder if what he said was meant as
an arraignnlent or confession. If the
he meant the former. We are too
much involved in Christianity, too
closely bound in responsibility for its
current character to sit outside and
condemn it. We are in a splendid
position to make that honest COMES
sion, whicls is said to be good for the
soul, and is certainly the necessary
prelude to a better type of Christian
ity. 1t is in the improvement of the
type of Christianity that the only
hope for the ultimate realization of
the dreams of the pacifist lies.
Furthermore, we would remind him
that he is the offspring of Christian
ity, though a little off the normal In
his eyesight, and it might not be
harmful for him to bear in mind the
healthful virtue of the plains express
ed in the encomium. "He eve went
back on his mother" as well as the
warning in that homely saying not as
current as it might well be, ITS an
i'll bird that fouls its own nest"

LEGION CONDEMNS HARVEY

The National Convention in session
at Kansas City, on Wednesday, passed
a resolution condemning George B.
Harvey for his speech in England, but
not a hint was given against his ere
ator who politically profted by his
six years vituperations.
The text of the substitute resolu-
ton said:
"That the sentiments expressed by
George Harvey, United States Am
bassador to Great Britain, in his Pill
grims' day speech, setting forth the
reasons for Americas entry into the
World War and the cause for which
America fought, does not represent
the true attitude as interpreted by
the American Legion; and let it be
known for all time that America
fought not only for the maintenance
of Americas rights, but for the free
dom of the world, and that a copy of
this resolution be sent to the Presi-
dent of the United States"
The original drastic resolution reads
as follows:

THANKSGIVING, 81
President Harding's Proclamation

Washington, d. c., Oct. 31-Presi-
dent Harding issued a proclamation
tonight designating Thursday, Novem-
Der "a, as a day of thanksgiving, de-
votion and prayer, and urging the
people to give thanks for all that has
been rendered unto them," and to
pray for a continuance of the Dl-
vine fortune which has been shOwered
so generously upon this nation" The
proclamation follows:
THAT season has come when, alike
in of a devout peoples
time-honored custom and in grateful
recognition of ~favoring national for
tunes, it is proper that the President
should summon the nation to a day
of devotion, of Thanksgiving for bless
ings bestowed, and Of prayer for guld-
ance in modes of life that may de-
serve continuance of divine favor.
Foremost among our blessings is
the return of peace, and the approach
to normal ways again. The year has
brought us again into relations OF
amitv with all nations, after 4 long
period Of struggle and turbulence. In
thankfulness therefor, we may we'll
unite in the hope that providence will
vouchsafe approval of the things we
have done, the aims which have guld-
ed US, the aspirations which have in
spired us. We shall be prospered as
we shall deserve prosperity, seeking
not alone for the material things but
for those of the spirit as well; earn
estly trying to help others; asking be-
fore all else, the privilege of service.
AS we render thanks anew for the eX-
altation which came to us, we may
fittingly petition that moderation and
wisdom shall be granted to rest upon
all who are in authority, in the tasks
they must discharge. Their hands
will be steadied, their purposes
strengthened, in answer to our
prayers.
"Ours has been a favored nation in
the bounty which God has bestowed
0 it. The great trial Of humanity,
though indeed we bore our part as
well as we were able. left us COM
paratively little scared. 1t is for US
to recognize that we have been thus
favored, and when we gather at our
affairs to offer up thanks, we will do
well to pledge, in humility and SIN
cerity, our purpose to prove deserving.
We have been raised up and preslVed
in national power and consequence, as
part of a plan whose wisdom we can
not question. Thus believing, we can
do no less than hold our nation the
willing instrument of the providence
which has so wonderfully favored us.
Opportunity for very great service
awaits us if we shall prove equal to
it. Let our prayers be raised for d.
~rection in the right paths. Under
God. our responsibility is great; to
our own first, to all men afterward;
to all mankind in Gods W Justice;
Nov, therefore, l, Warren J. Hard
ing. President of the United States,
hereby designate Thursday, the
twentv-fourth day of November, to be
observed by the people as a day OF
thanksgiving, devotion and prayer;
urging at their hearthsides and their
affairs they will give thanks for all
that has been rendered unto them, and
win pray for a continuance of the di-
vine fortune which has been showered
so generously upon this nation"

\ DEMOCRATIC ISSUE

The Newark News in an editorial
discussing the National Democratic
party, says that while the party
shines in contrast to the overpoWer-
ing inability of the overwhelming Re-
publican majority it is in need of an
Issue a clean-cut vital issue" They
have it ready to hand if they will but
see. Former Governor Cox, the de-
feated Presidential candidate, raised
it in his recent message to the Cali
fornia Democrats, when he said:
In the midst of chaos we stand in
flexible, as we did when the polls
closed last November, for the League
of Nations, with the United States as
a cooperative part of it.
In the absence of any foreign policy
to date by the administration the IA
nous thirty-one signers who pleaded
for the election of Harding as the
surest way to get into the League of
Nations are by this time completely
undeceived. The realization that
some of our greatest problems no lon
ger can be considered as purely domes-
tic, but actually are international in
scope, has of late been brought home
with force to every element of the
electorate.
The alibi carefully prepared in adj
vance by the administration as to
what the Disarmament Conference
can hope to accomplish, and the fail
ure of Mr.. Harding's substitute 'as-
ISOLATION of the nations of Europe and
the earth even to put in an appearance
make for uneasiness. Change was
what the citizens of the United States
voted for last November. Well, they
have the change. How do they like
it?
Only recently an American had to
be called in by the Preparations Com
mission to determine the exchange
value of Belgium's debt to the Allies
which Germany must pay. The In
telnational Chamber OF Commerce has
lust called upon the United States tc
take its place at the separations table
and in the councils of world readjust-
ment. Americans, hosts of them, are
petitioners before the League of Ma
tons for the aspirations of their for
mer countrymen overseas. The
League of Nations works.
Reaction has disappointed its tens
Of millions in this country. If the
Democrats can be brought to realize
that now is the time again for ideal
ism that will be a counter-irritant t.
the s~elfshness and stupidity that have
marked the progress Of national legis.
lation in the last six months, they vii
have found their principal asset.
The meeting of the National Com
mittee may be a signal for a show o
strength between the forces OF Cox
led by National Chairman White, anC
those of the McAdoo faction. Prob
ably White counted noses before h
ventured to call together the com
mittee. which has not been in session
since before the Presidential election
But what the country is most inter
ested in is not the fate of individual
political fortunes, but whethc' HOY

The various moves in the situa-

Mr.. Hughes know the new proposal
was not acceptable to the allies.
Mr.. James cables today, for in
stance: French diplomats are very
pleased with the graceful manner
in which Secretary Hughes per-
mitted the Paris government to
place a veto On the German pro-
pOsaIs and thus halt them. 1t Is
understood here that as soon as he
got the proposals. Mr.. Hughes gave
Ambassador Jusserand the oppor-

not measure up to what the French
lad demanded. Ambassador Jusse-

Paris confirmed his opposition"
