JUDGED BY THE FRUITS.

"Sensationalism in the pulpit is, after all, to be
judged not on general principles but by concrete pur-
poses and results" says the New York Post. 'Tf DR..
John Roach Straton is so inclined, he can go as far
back as he pleases in ecclesiastical and pre-ecclesias-
teal history and cite the case of preachers who shock
ed their congregation. often for the good of the audi
tors. But TINT is just the question What is the good
accomplished in this specific instance by what some
of the critics describe as pulpit vaudeviilef
There is q fairly simple test. II extreme methods
in the pulpit serve to call attention to what would
otherwise pass unnoticed, then sensationaIism is JUS
titled. If extravaganza in the pulpit only calls at
tention' to what everybody knows and reads in his
newspaper, the nervous shock administered to the
worshippers is hardly worth the trouble.
THAT would seem to be the case with DR.. Straton.
He Lifts his topics out of the sensational columns of
the press. Perhaps his gifts of eloquence may add to
the pictures drawn by the reporters and the photog-
raphers, but that is not always likely in view of the
space and devotion which the papers can bring to the
Dempsey-Carpentier fight or the Arbuckle story. Half
a dozen years ago. when a tide of lfe-in-the-raw
drama broke on Broadway, the managerial apologists
made a strong plea that 1t is better to speak out about
vice than to hush it up. They overlooked the very
simple argument that the theater was only serving up
a rehash of the crime reports in the newspapers. The
public would have known Just as much about what
was going on in the underworld without the aid Of the
drama of rescue and uplift.
This is the main objection to Dr. Straton. H sup
ui;es- sensation without supplying news. He refuses
to leave unsaid what is being said elsewhere all the
time" .

AMERICAN

A fight is being made in the present congress 70
revolutionize our method of levying ad valorem tariff
taxes. In the past, these taxes have been based upon
tn cost of the goods in the country Of origin, as nxed
by the consular invoices 1t is now proposed to base
the tax upon the average value of the imported COM
modify, in America, as fixed by the open market,
where such goods are ordinarily sold or offered for
that such valuation shall be fixed by the actual and
fair market value of the goods in the United States,
Independently of any artificial fluctuations.
This plan, called American valuation, has the sup
port of such experts as Secretary Hoover, Customs
Judge Marion De vries, and a multitude of represen-
tative American business men at the head of large in
dustries. A little thought will show the Justice and
feasibility Of the plan.
Granting that the object of a protective tariff is
to, protect local industry against unfair competition of
cheap foreign labor, and that the object of any tariff
tax should be to. give equal treatment to all similar
imports of whatever origin, it will readily be seen that
American valuation is the only fair plan. If a certain
article can be made in Germany for 81, and in Eng
land for So, and the ad valorem tariff tax is 80 per
cent, the German article would pay 30 cents tax, while
the identical English article would pay 60 cents tax,
There is no justice in that. 1t discriminates in favor
of the countries having the cheapest labor and the
most DEPRECATED My, exactly in proportion to that
diferentiaL Thus, The more stable country suffers.
not only the penalty of its own stability, but also the
penalty of a higher tariff tax.
It has been pointed out that this, in reality, con-
stitutes a violation Of some Of our international, treat
les. Some nations have treaties with US containing
the "most favored nation" clause. This means that
the treatment guaranteed to that country in any INST
ter Of Interpreting our laws, shall be as favorable as
that which is granted to the most favored nation in
that respect. Under such a treaty, England would
have a right to claim as low a tax on her imports as
that applied to similar imports from Germany. or any,
where else. This certainly would be just, but it would
create interminable confusion under the present ad
valorem plan. It would turn the whole system into
chaos.
The chief argument that has been advanced against
valuation is by importers, who claim that
it would deprive them of any certain method of esti-
mating their tax in advance, and thus reduce their
business to a gamble rf
While there is some merit in that argument, It is
not sufficient to outweigh the obvious advantages of
the other plan. This plan is fair, not only to Amer
lean business interests, but also to all importers, as
it places them on the same basis. The tax, in other
words, would be fixed by definitely ascertained local
and not by different and varying foreign
conditions.

STYLES IN LETTER WRITING.

There is a wide difference in both style and sub
ject matter in letter writing; and there is oppoztun-
ity to contrast both in letters written by President
Esrding and Former President Wilson. Take the Will
son letter of 1918, on the eve of the congressional
elections in which he begged the people to return
nothing but Democratic members in order to uphold
his then rapidly waning power, compare it with the
plain manly communication written by Mr.. Harding
to be used in the senatorial contest in New Mexico.
Senator Harrison of Mississippi. who seems to be
the new leader Of the Democrats in congress, charges
that President Harding's letter setting for the ac-
complishments Of the administration is similar in ef-
feet to the letter which Mr.. Wilson sent out in 1913.
But there are several important dierences. Let 1t
be admitted that Harding's letter was written to help
the senatorial election in New Mexico. It was a po-
litical letter. It is just snch q letter as any president
might properly write in ordinary times.
But the Wilson letter was not written in ordinary
times. Mr.. Wilson had, but a few weeks before is
sued a declaration, that politics is adjourned" We
were in the midst Of war and he had called upon all
citizens to lay aside partisanship and unite in the es-
fort to win. Republicans acquiesced in this, but on
the eve of election when as presumably too late
for the Republicans to r, Wilson issued his infa-
nous appeal for election Democratic congress as
an expression of confidence n him and in his leader
ship when peace negotiations should be taken up. The
result was defeat for the Democratic candidates and
the election of q Republican majority in the house.
Senator Harrison knows this, and knows that there
is no similarity between the Harding letter setting
forth the Republican record. with the appeal for votes
and the Wilson letter, appealing for votes but not set
ting forth the record.

E F ANY.

Speaking of moral codes. We conducted the So
cial affairs Of the world for some considerable stretch
of years, with a double barreled standard. One style
of morals for men and another and a better one for
women. anomalous as it may seem immoral man
with a lax standard constituted himself the protector
hered to a higher standard, and the world was better
and woman was perfect. We made her the equal of
the angels and defec anybody to harm a hair of her
arrangement for a lot Of sad old dogs, like men gen.
orally.
Things were going fine. We could go out and step
a bit and know that the lullabys would be regularly
and properly chanted at eventideN That the castle
was safe from molestation and that all men acknowl-
edged and respected its sacredness.
Along came William Jennings Bryan and others and
along came "votes for women" and demands for a
perfect equality, a single standard of morality and
that old and perfectly tested ideals be abolished. It
all came to pass, as you well know and look at the
result. The double standard of morality was par
alyzed and we are left without any morality at all. And
what are you going to do about it?

The railway unions, which
Ford ignored, are said to have
numerous rules regulating the

do, and what he shall be paid for
it, all directed to the end of rails
ing wages and cutting down
hours of labor. Ford, says the
writer, beat the unions at their
chief pastime, increasing pay,

by the increase over the union
schedules

are the rules forced on the nm

crews for all work and the I'M

in order to keep the organiza-
