Work of Presbyterian Assembly
Is Indorsed.

The various decisions of the Presby-
terian General Assembly are the sub
jeet of varied comment by the editors
of the country, especially those
which had to do with the activity OF
William Jennings Bryan and the con-
troversies that followed. The Newark
News is convinced "the church has
great service TO perform that calls
for all it's energies. Its field is the
moral and spiritual life OF the indi-
vidual and the community where its
leadership is welcomed and desired.
When it goes into other fields to pick
a quarrel it only weakens itself and
wastes it's strength" Agreeing that
on the face of things this is true. the
Philadelphia Bulletin appears con-
vinced tolerance of liberalism has
given such encouragement to radical
iconoclasts that there is a realization
that old faiths. old principles, old
constitutions must be fought for If
they are to be preserved. The spirit
of the assembly in declaring that a
faith worth having is worth lighting
for against the challenge OF doubt
will inspire a sympathetic response
from those in other circles of interest
who are fearful of the passing of old
anchorages of principle and belief.
The part William Jennings Bryan
played in the early proceedings of
the assembly, although he was tenn
porarily defeated in some of his aspi-
rations and knocked OUT in his cam
paign for moderator and later chair
man of the most powerful of the COM
mittees, is declared by the Grand
Ra pids Herald to suggest that "Eryan
s a great American who holds a place
close to the hearts of the mass of
Americans greater in defeat than are
many other men in victory. The big
thing is that this splendid fighting,
uncomfortable leader, man Of mas
terfuI talents and tremendous elo-
auence, is making religion the domi
nant thought of a life which is still
richly active and powerfully infiuen-
tial" To this, however, the Minneapo-
lis Tribune suggests the Bryan for
mula was highly controversial in its
potentialities. For the broad purpose
which he seeks to serve Mr.. Bryan
has the general approval and SYM
pathy of the church of which he is a
member, not to speak of other
churches, but there is a sharp di-
vergence of feeling and judgment on
the method he has chosen to serve the
purpose. This purpose, we may say,
is to maintain a cherishing regard
for the Christian faith Even sharp

Rodeo Features.

Protests have been entered with the
certain inhumane features of the
.'rodeo'' or wild west show" that is
now opening in this city as an item of
the Shrine convention entertainment.
The particular practices complained of
are the stimulation of the wild horses"
used in the broncho-busting feats, and
the ''bull-dogging" trick of throwing
steers by biting their neither lips. 1t
has been stated on behalf of the man.
asement that these features will not
be permitted in the program.
1t will be hoped that this assurance
will be observed, and that the program
at this performance will not offend in
these respects. The "rodeo." which is
characteristic western form Of en-
tertainment, has elected the opposition
of many people, not merely because of
the specific items of cruelty which
have in the past marked it, but be-
cause Of the unfortunate stimulus
given to the youthful spirit Of adven-
ture by the displays of shooting and
rough tactics. Records show that fol-
lowing every such exhibition in a com
munity casualties occur as juveniles
attempt TO initiate the daring deeds OF
! performers.
Bullfghting has never gained foot
hold in this country as a sport, for the
reason primarily that the American
sense OF fair play has been revolted by
the spectacle of a form OF public en-.
tertainment in which animals have
been wantonly slaughtered. often with
torturing agony. In these western
shows, however, there has been a close
approach to the game of the southern
countries. The tricks of which com.
plant is now specifically made SAVIOR
strongly of the cruelties Of the bull
ring.
1t is desirable to keep alive the ira
ditions of the frontier west and 10 pre-
serve mementos of a phase of Ameri-
can life that is rapidly passing. But
the tragedies and cruelties Of that
phase Of life should not be reproduced
especially for commercial profit. In
this Washington show it is to be as
! sumed that offensive and needlessly
cruel features will not occur. 1t is
stated that close watch will be kept
upon the performances to insure that
they are not allowed.

Memorial Day.

Despite the distraction of preparing
fut vast throng of visitors who are
tn assemble here within few days for
festival occasion. Washington turns
to-day to its annual service to those
who have died for the country they
loved Memorial day has become
fixed institution. an occasion of deNo-
tion to the men who gave their lives
that the nation might live. who suf'
fercd and sacrificed to maintain the
principles Of the republic and whose
cndcaVOrs on every occasion of ma
tional need contributed TO the present
stability and strength of the govern
lncnt.
Ii il meet that once Il year the ac-
tivities of ordinary life be suspended
in order that the nations thought may

practical affairs of existence. Senti-
ment. however. is not suppressed. 1t
manifests itself upon every appropri-
ate occasion. During the great war it
ness and gave inspiration to the deeds
OF sacrifice and valor that brought
victory TO American arms abroad. 1t
caused the purse strings of the people
to fl, open and the funds necessary to
maintain the great campaign 10 flow
into the Treasury. 1t sent overseas a
tremendous army, and it kept the
naval forces on the seas to thwart the
strata gems of the enemy.
Sentiment rules today, the highest
aud most enduring sentiment of all of
which human nature is capable. 1t is
the sentiment of gratitude for those
who suffered and died that liberty
should not perish from the earth and
that the American flag should remain
eloat. symbol of the nation that has
for so many years stood before the
world as the highest expression Of
freedom and democracy.
In the numerous cemeteries of this
land lie a ggcat army OF men whose
names are scrolled as martyrs to the
cause of American national life. Some
of them died in battle, others of dis
e,.se and still others passed away after
victory had been Won, secure in the
peaceful ways of life. At one time or
another they wore the uniform Of the
country. mustered under the flag, and
those who survived the struggles in
which they were engaged returned to
civilian life and did their part in the
work of making America great
through the arts of peace.
Now on their graves flowers are
reverently placed and flags are plant
ed to mark them as the heroes of the
past a great army of them, a silent
guard Of honor. The national spirit is
strengthened by these devotions to
their memory.

spiracy" TO do it, and even IL theyt did
conspire 1T is not likely thal they
would leave evidence of such a con-
spiracy lying around on the lunch
counters and tables. They would sim
ply raise prices because the increase
in the crowds of people needing food
would enable them to do 1t.
1t is the weight Of opinion among
the local Shrine authorities that some
increase in restaurant prices is justifi
able. The crowd comes suddenly eats
furiously for a few days and then
vanishes. The cafe men must spend
some money in meeting a sudden in
crease in trade which lasts but a few
days. A good deal of new equipment
must be bought. and the crowd does
not stay long enough to pay for the
extra cups, plates and things Of that
kind if the old rates are charged. The
cooks and other employees. faced with
more than their usual work, and know
ing that shekels will be dumped into
the cash register, demand twice and
three times their usual pay.

Henry Ford.

Another outburst of Ford for -Presi-
dent propaganda. like an exploding
star bomb, is illumining the political
armament. Widespread publicity for
the industrial magnate. suggesting his
candidacy for the presidential nomina-
tion, is furnished in the columns of the
daily press and for the hour he is the
most talked-about man in. politics.
The immediate point under discus
sion is the question. will he seek the
nomination at the hands of one of the
old parties or head an independent OF.
ganization 10 be created in his behalf?
Both of the old parties fear his entry
into the primaries. and would probably
be glad TO see him run as an inde-
pendent. although some politicians in
each party fear that as an independent
candidate he might develop dangerous
strength. William K. Hearst has de-
clared that if Mr. Ford will take. q
third party nomination he will support
him. Democrats and republicans of
prominence have recently said that he
would be a formidable candidate.

Discussing Ford $ political affilia-

running for the senatorship on the
democratic ticket in 1918. there was no
question in the minds Of his hackers
in the Dearborn club that he is re-
publican at heart, and that in biogra
ply said TO have been approved by
Mrs. Ford he was classed as a repub-
lican.
Mr.. Ford for the present is sitting
tight and refusing to comment on the
storm of speculation and gossip raging
about him. He is described as holding
that inasmuch as no responsible politi-
cal organization has indicated a desire
to have him as a candidate it is not
necessary for him to speak. This is a
position of political strategy, the poll
ticians say. Meanwhile he has the

Rear Admiral William $. Sims
BILLY the Irrepressible," they call
him in the teet--is out in the June
number of Current History with a
frontal attack on Americas sub
marine policy He says that propa-
ganda tales of German U-boat atroc-
tiles have caused the submarine to
be sadly misunderstood by the
American people, Legitimately used
as Sims thinks the U-boat for the
most part was. he calls the sub
marine an indispensable weapon OF
modern sea war. Therefore, the re-
doubtable admiral holds that we
made bad treaty at Washington
when We agreed to restrict the oper-
lnsinuates that the British attempted
at the conference TO outlaw the sub
marine by statements unsupported by
the official records. The admiral
"oblige us to adhere to the spirit OF
the treaty-at the cost of being
dominated by predatory enemy"

Fair Food Prices.

Ii seems safe to set it down that
there is a marked improvement in the
Washington restaurant situation. The
Indications are that fair prices will
prevail in the public eating places, and
that the word fair means that prices
will be reasonable to Shriners, to all
the other visitors to Washington and
10 the regular patrons of the pesta u
rants.
There seems to be less fear on the
part of the cafe men that great
crowd will bring bankruptcy to them,
and they appear to have taken on hope
that an increase in their business may
mean larger profit than they are
making with their normal trade. Com
mittees representing the Shrine have
made survey, and 1t is reported that
they have found that restaurant prices
will be fair. 1t is even said that many
places, especially those that have been
esta blished for some time, will not raise
prices at all, and will take their chance
on feeding three, four or five times
the number of people they serve now
and yet keep out of the receivers
hands.
One Of the news stories of the mo-
ment is that special agents Of the De.
partment of Justice are investigating
the restaurant situation. and that
should they be able to get evidence of
a criminal conspiracy to gouge the
Shriners the facts will be Immediately
laid before the grand jury. 1t is not
likely that evidence of a criminal con-
spiracy will be found. If the cafe men
considered it right and proper-for
themselves-to add and Is cents 10

The Summer Resort.

Come on, fellers. Let's go swimmin.
How the old-time cry
Echoes in the recollection,
tSpite of years that fly.
How the summer breeze invites us.
How the whispering branch delights
Through the window all creation
Seems to breathe that invitation
of the days gone by.
Come on, fellers. Let's go swimmin'."
All, tits far away.
That old nook where merry truants
Shouted in their play
How rnaturely and demurely
You may journey. quite securely,
Where each mighty, murmuring
breaker
Mentions to some ticket taker
What you ought to pay.
Come on, fellers. Let's go swimmin'.''
Those were playdays rare.
Naught of pleasure that awaits us
Can with them compare.
All this poor perfunctory splashing;
All these modes so trinity dashing
Please alone as they remind us
Of the days We left behind us
Happy days-back there,

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM HILE

Joseph Wingate' Folk, who will be
week, Is acclaimed at Cairo as one of
the heroes of Egyptian independence.
In August, 1919, Folk, as chief coun-
sci for the Egyptian delegation then
stationed in Washington, made a
powerful argument on its behalf be-
fore the Senate committee on foreign
relations. The plea for Egyptian
recognition did not avail. but it's
logic later became the basis of
Young Egypt's" successful negotia-
tIons with the Miner commission of
nation of the British protectorate
over Egypt in March, 1922, was the
eyentful result. Had "Joe" Folk
been European instead of an Amer
lean. he might have died Folk

the role of benjamin Franklin at our
court in 1920, made his headquarters
at Folks Offices. One of Folks last
big activities was associated with the
minimum wage litigation before the
