IS GREAT FORCE FOR GOOD IN CITY So Says New York Hospital Head
 Of EYeryman'S Bible Class

Problems of civic nature. politics welfare. immigration, neglected chil- dren, poverty, sickness. etc, could be settled satisfactorily by the Every. mans Bible class, according to Rev !)r. w. II. Crawford, former presi- dent of Allegheny college, yesterday morning.
 Three Ministers Present
 Although the attendance was some what less than the average, it was as large as could be expected, consider ing certain conditions, there being 566 men present. The meeting was in charge of J. M. Burdick, first vice. president. Rev. A. B. Taylor, of The Peoples church, led the singing and Rev. Dr. James E. Holmes superin- tendent of the Methodist hospital of New York. led the prayer
 A Point For College Men
 Dr. Crawford took as his theme, "A new translation of an old book" and emphasized the importance of following the teachings of the bible in order to be living right. He told Of a penitentiary head who addressed group of college men and told them that the farther away they got from the bible the faster they multiplied their chances of becoming lodgers at the institution of which he had charge.
 One of the outstanding features in the lives of Lincoln and Roosevelt was the fact that each man carefully studied his Bible. He told of the fact that the bible is the one thing all civilized nations had in common and that it is the one thing that will make tor a great international brotherhood
 Speaking of the betterment to the community of such a class, as the Everyman's Bible class, Dr. Craw- ord said, 'In community where nore than 900 men gather together 'n Sundays in great bible class, when a committee from this class soes to the heads of the city govern nent, something will be done.
 So far as the moral and intelligent welfare of the city is concerned here's not a greater force in this community than the Everyman's Bible lass"

hides have been on the free list for
many years. Even such high pro-
tectioniats OF former days as Blaine

OF n duty on hides will be the big
meat packers OF Kansas City, Omaha
and Chicago. Now. this is a plain
drive OF the new farm bloc against a
long established New England IN

be to hold up the retail selling prices

CASE AGAINST NEwBERRY.

Ordinarily any Senator in Truman
II. Newberrys place, processing in
nocence OF ong-doing. would not
need to be urged to rise In the Senate
to explain tho expenditure OF a quar-
ter OF a million dollars in his primary
campaign in 1918 In Michigan. Sen-
ator Spencer. Chairman Of the sub
committee OF the Privileges and Elec-
tions Committee, accounts for New
berry's silence on the ground that
"ths opposition has not made out a
case against him."
The evidence against Newberry is
so plain that at his trial in the United
States District Court at Grand Papids
the jury. mainly Republicans. found
him guilty OF corrupt practices. The
only reason he has not served the
term OF imprisonment TO which he was
sentenced is that the United States
Supreme Court. on technical point
ruled that in the Federal Corrupt
Practices Act Congress exceeded its
powers In regulating expenditures in
Senatorial primary elections.
The proof that enormous sums OF
money were spent in the Newberry
primary campaign cannot be disputed
1t rests on the testimony OF the Mich
| igan Senator's own agents and pay
masters and on checks and account
books. Not all of the witnesses called
| by the Spencer subcommittee fed t(
Canada TO feign illness; not all of tn,
checks and records in the Newberry

appeared. Enough were produced a

belief that recovery will be gradual
rather than spectacular. Such a con-

We have a right TO feel that revival
is going on because the abrupt de-
cline In commodity prices has ended,

crease In activity has been shown by

the reasons for a gradual rather than
rapid recovery are the impaired pur-
