THE IRREPREssfBLE HAM

THE Rev. J. W. Ham, of Atlanta,
in our estimation, wins the palm
for the most brazen example of pull
pit effrontery seen in these parts in
many years. Standing before his
congregation in the Baptist Taber-
nacle, one of Atlanta's largest if no.
most fashionable, churches Sunday
night, he called for the death penalty
upon the young Peachtree bandit,
Frank Dupre, and vehemently declar-
ed that anything short of hanging
would be travesty on justice. He
raked the newspapers over the Goals
for printing "sob stuff" about the
Dupre case, then went on to parade
the whole sordid story before his con-
gregation.
Pastor Ham is publicity seeker of
the most persistent type. He horns
into every sensation which develops
in Atlanta that he thinks he can use
to attract attention to himself. Com
ing to Atlanta about the time Billy
Sunday visited that city Several years
ago and thoroughly aroused it, he
pilfered Sundays methods, had him
self photographed by the news photog-
raphers in typical Billy Sunday ath-
letic poses and published them in
paid advertisements. Since then he
has injected himself into dozens Of
sensations, with no other apparent
purpose than to focus some of the
lime light upon himself.
In the Dupre case, his remarks
were not only uncalled for, but ac-
cording to our viewpoint constituted
a positive and wilful contempt of
court and should be. sternly punish
ed as such. Coming two days before
the date set for the trial of the ac-
cused youth, they were calculated
and evidently intended--to influence
rublic opinion against the lad who
under the law is guaranteed fair
end impartial trial by a jury of un-
Ereiudiced men. Parson Hams re-
marks prejudged this case, and in
creased the already great difficulty
Of giving the boy bandit a fair trial.
That his attorney is justified in ask
ing a change of venue would appear
apparent.
Perhaps Parson Ham is right in his
conclusions; perhaps Dupre deserves
nothing short of the death penalty,
Because of his extreme youth, how
ever, he being less than 10 years of
age, there are many fathers and
mothers, when they consider their
own boys and imagine them in the
same predicament, who will feel that
his age is mitigating circumstance
and that the ends of justice could
possibly be served by life sentence
rather than the extreme penalty.
Be that as it may, mercy and love,
not vengeance and hate, are the basic
principles of Christianity of which
Parson Ham stands in his pulpit as
the exponent and advocate He is
not doing the cause of Jesus Christ
any good; such men do not increase
the respect for the church in the
minds of thinking people.
