, r. m tho first Monday In May

d, G., on the first Monday In May,
1925, Each layman or woman is re.
1uested to urge upon the authorities Of
his or her local church the formation OF
conferences and to report his or her
success or failure to Robert II. Gnrdi-
nor. general secretary, No. J. "a Water
street, Gardiner, Me-, from whom pam
phiets explaining the world conference
movement may be had OH application.
The writer proposes to suggest GER
tain preliminary thoughts on the gen,
eral subject OF the principles OF social
progress. Progress may be defined as
ndyance toward perfection social prog
rcss ma advance toward tho perfection
of life Of man living in association
and association ns orderly human rela.

case of wolves and like animals, to
joint aggressive action, the development
of the grcgarious instinct In other ami
mails than man reaches a point where
it seems to become fixed ana incapa-
bic Of further advance.
consciousness has been defined 40
"the realization Of relation between the
cognizing subject and the cognized OBJ,
ject." Man is conscious animal, and
because he Is capable of realizing con
sciou, relations with other men, he Is
capable of indefinite development in
orderly association. The connection be.
tween man s consciousness and his ca
pacity for orderly association may be
called spiritual, because 1t is not ma
tcrialistic. The principles underlying
human association are spiritual princi-
pies also. The summary Of the law
teaches Christians that there Is absolute
union between religion and ethics. which
latter have to do with the relation Of
man with his fellow man In associa-
ton.
OF the great religions, Christianity is
distinctively the religion of association.
For, while other religions aim at per-
fectlon Of individual character, the
Christian religion also demands perfec-
ton in the orderly relations Of men to
each other. Thus st. Paul taught
that Christ instituted an organic So
clety In which every member plays his
part for the common good, and in this
definite body men are called to co -oper-
ate with God to help shape the progress
OF the whole community Of mankind, so
as to make the kingdoms Of this world
the kingdom of the one God of perfect
righteousness, mercy, justice and love.
The Christian Church ought to afford
the most conspicuous example Of orderly
cooperation in association. If the
church is not such an example, it may
be because 1t has neglected to apply the
fundamental principles of association,
order and operation 80 as to secure
the organic unity which our Lord prayed
might come to exist as the best evidence
to convince the world that the Father
had sent Him. LAYMAN.

Letters to the Editor
Send Them Back

TO ths Editor Of the -'Ver1no Public Ledger:
Sir-It has frequently been sug-
scsted that aliens who persist In crime
In this country be deported. Often
they are sent back to the land whence
they came. There seem to me to be
reasons for making It a general rule.
1t costs money to detect crime. It
costs money to prosecute those ar.
rested. 1t costs money to maintain
prisons and feed prisoners. All that
money comes from the pockets Of Amer
lean taxpayers.
Why should those taxpayers be taxed
for more law enforcing officers, moro
prosecutors, more courts and more pris-
ons from year to year in order to pro-
tect themselves from people who came
to this land to pursue criminal pur-
suits? If they persist in being Crimi-
nails. we have no use for them In Amer
ica, and IT Is n comparatively simple
matter for the American Government to
get rid Of them.
The United States is glad to receive
n limited number of the proper type Of
aliens. There is plenty OF room in this
country for the Industrious, intelligent
and honest Italians, Greeks, Germans
and others who come here to become
citizens and work. But there is no
room for the foreigner who comes with
his criminal intent and attempts to
live here in violation Of law and at
the expense of the American people.

A Landlubber at Sea

To tho Editor Of the Evening Public LEDGER:
Sir--The United States has SO many
laws that it Is not surprising that
many of them conflict. Nor is there
cause for especial alarm in this regard,
although it would be better II Congress
and State Legislatures slowed down
their activities in making new laws al"
largely confined their attention. for
some time, to consolidation and re-
vision Of the old laws, the elimination
of useless laws and Of conflict and In
consistency in others.
The Volstcad law Is case in point.
1t is inconsistent not only with trent-
les and international law and usage,
but. so far as the sale of liquor aboard
shin is concerned, Is inimical to the
welfare of the merchant marine. The
facts have resolved themselves into the
alternative as to whether we want wet
shlps or no passenger ships at all.
Either the Volstead law must be kept
within the three mile limit or the
United States will have no interest in
passenger carrying ships other than the
Jersey ferries. 9,
Even if the courts give the broad
interpretation to the Volstead law and
hold that the foreign ships cannot enter
our harhors with liquor sealed, we
stand to lose. Many thousands Of pas
sengors will discover that, for trans
Atlantic travel, Montreal and Halifax
are convenient ports. because wet
Wine drinking crews on French. Italian
ard Spanish vessels are not likely to
be denied while in port. Either they
will break the law or the port Will be

SNAKES ARE GOLF AID

Blacksnakes are being offered
every lnducement to make
comfortable home ON the links
of the Gainesville (Pa.) Coun-
try club. Champions of the
reptile declare that it is the
most efficient enemy of the
ground mole, which does so
much damage to golf greens,
and the club officials have
started a campaign to protect
and foster the growth of the
blacksnake. Along the sides of
the course the underbrush has
been allowed to grow thick, and
tempting rock piles with full
southern exposures have been
placed to lure the snake from
nearby lands. Not only does
the snake go right into the
mOle's boring, but it is alleged
, that it kills off rattlers and cop
perheadS. 1t is harmless, and
is not likely to discomfort a
golfer by appearing silently, for
the snake does it's work at
