Christ Versus
ChristendOn,
vYYHAT makes America richf
" Not lands and buildings,
- stocks and bonds, railroads

<<YYINDUS, Mob m m d a n s
and Buddhists are filling
III the Far East with descrip.
tions of Western Christianity as a
war-loving and war-promoting or
ganization. The East says Chris
tianity, a cannon ball, q submarine
and a gas bomb 60 together.
This comes from Fred B. Smith,
after making tour of the world in
the interest of our church organiza-
tions.
Among these Oriental people,
Christ means one thing and Chris
tianity something very different" "
he said. He found that the "aver-
age Mohammedan looks upon Chris
tianity as religion of war and
bloodshed."
The Great War greatly increased,
of course, the connection between
Christianity and war in the minds
Of the Oriental peoples.
1t is pleasing, however, to note
that all people recognize that
CnrlsC himself preached the DOC
trine of peace. And it is quite
natural, psychologically, that those
peoples who are especially war
like, namely, perhaps, Europeans
and their colonists, should feel
most intensely the truth of His
message. For war-like and violent
nations and races and individuals
need the doctrine of peace more
than those who are more naturally
peaceful.
We have a religion of peace be-
cause we are not peaceful. 1t is an
ideal toward the realization of
which we hope to move. Churches,
however, are human organizations,
and, as such, necessarily reflect the
dominant characteristics of the
nation and race, no matter what
their ultimate ideal may be.
What the East regards as West
erp hypocrisy is only the respect
that vice pays to virtue; and that,
as far as it goes is very good, in
deed.
The Washington times., 1922-08-09

AYEITHER fanatics nor purely
practical persons can under
~ stand the value of free
speech. ..,..
Fanatics believe so much in their
own theoretical fancies that they
cut off the heads, figuratively at
least, of those who express disagree
ment. Practical persons, noticing
that some who speak or write get
temporarily in the way of business or
the immediate smoothness of admin.
istration, also cut off the heads,
figuratively, of those who express
disagreement with commercial or
administrative methods.
Free speech is moral capital to be
used in future spiritual production.
1t is moral insurance against the
future Imprisonment of the mind.
1t is an indication of faith in the
potentialities of the individual soul.
1t is the full recognition of the fact
that truth is not finished, and that
any new light that may come must
be welcomed and not ,extinguishcd.
William Allen White did well to
make another test of free speech
and free press in Kansas, The
Industrial Court ruled that to post
a placard expressing sympathy with
striking shopmen was picketing and,
therefore, conspiracy to stop
trains. Mr.. White thereupon posted
a placard denouncing the court s
ruling as an infraction of free
speech, whereupon he was arrested
and will be tried in October.
One judge remarked that Mr..
White "fails to distinguish between
right and wrong free speech" :"
AS soon as that distinction is
made, there is no free speech.

Why Bar Out
Good Aliens !?

HYHAT makes America richf
" Not lands and buildings,
- stocks and bonds, railroads
and factories.
These are only the tools. and
equipment of rich people.
America s true wealth is its pop,
ulation of stalwart men and true
women and the children they are
rearing to take their places in car
rying forward Americas destiny.
The surest way to increase our
wealth is to increase the number of
such men and women and children.
Before the war we used to have
from 100000 to 100000 new i'm
migrants every year. Each year
numbers of recent arrivals left us
again, but the net increase in our
population was never below 1,000,-
600 per year. e." 49,.
No one can measure what they
added to our wealth in terms of
production and thrift. No one can
measure what they gained in hap
piness and opportunity by coming
to us. '" ..r-
Under the present restrictive i'm
migration laws the new immigra-
tion will be found not to exceed
250,000 when we have the final
figures for the year ending June
80. The net increase in population
will not be over 100000, which is
a tenth of the normal figure.
Across the water, thwarted in
their desire to come to us, stand
the brothers and sisters of those
who made America what she is.
In barring them out Congress is
deaf to the appeals of our pocket.
books as well as our hearts.

Insurance statistics for the United States
show that the deaths Of ten out Of every
hundred men who die, or 10 per cent, are
due to accidents. These statistics show that,
on an average, every nine minutes someone
is killed by accident In the United states;
every fifty. -four minutes someone is killed by
a fall every sixty-three minutes someone 10
killed In a railroad accident; every seventy
two minutes someone is fatally burned every
ninety minutes someone is drowned and
every one hundred and eighty minutes some
one meets death in an automobile accident.

The Smithsonian Institution says that the
old idea that the vocabulary OF uncivilized
tribes, especially the Indian tribes, was very
limited, has been disproven. They have
every reason to believe that the vocabulary
of such tribes was quite as large as that OF
modern languages. and that such tribes were
able to express the most complicated ideas.

Public
OUnership

vVYHILE Chicago walks in the
~ ram and gets soaking wet
y Wv during a street car strike,
Chicago and other big cities ought
to THINK - business men espe-
ciallv.
The business men know we'll that
as long as PUBLIC necessities are
owned by PRIVATE individuals,
they are going to have trouble, in
terruption of transportation, Of
business, of manufacturing. The
postoffice goes on because the peo-
pie OWN it. If it were man
aged by private owners there
would be strikes there and mo
letters" every little while.
Apart from any matter of opin-
ion, or any Views sane business
men will soon be demanding public
ownership of those national neces-
sities on which business depends. 1t
is question of DOING business or
NOT doing business.
The great natural monopolies
have outgrown the capacity, the
credit, of private owners. The rail.
roads would have been bankrupt,
sold at auction years ago, had they
not been permitted, first, to raise
rates to suit themselves, and, sec
ond, to put their hands into the
public, pocket to make up their def
icit.

The Child of Wales

vYYHY does Lloyd George remain
w in power when every other
" big boss of Europe has gone
down in the crashf The answer is
easy. He is ignorant and knows it.
He makes mistakes and undoes
them. He takes advice and changes
his mind. He looks out on a stream
of immeasurable transient particu-
lars, and that stream is flowing
fast. He scoops up a pailful, takes
a temperature test, analyses the
animalcules and tells what he finds.
A month later the stream is differ
emily colored, and Lloyd George
says so. ~.
Some day the arteries of his mind
will harden.
Then he will be retired on the
pension of a viscount. And Eng
land will search for another child
like mind which asks questions.

Very. very interesting.
Interesting. first, because out
of our io5.ooo.ooo population IL
b exceedingly unlikely that there
are q hundred souls who know
anything at all about Rajpipla.
and, second, because out OF our

ceedinsly unlikely that any two
would spend those fifteen days
II they were in the Mahara jah's
position-in exactly the same

And II you look It up In q gazet-
eer you'll find that It Is one Of
the Rewakanta states Of 'Gujerat
and tributary to the Gaekwar OF

your pipe and smoke. So let's
cut out Rajpipla.
