Victory Is Falling.

v upon Jack Dunn, owner and
" manager of the Baltimore
Orioles. It is whispered that,
though his team is leading the
International League pennant race,
he takes little interest in the
games, keeps much to himself
and will quit baseball next fall,
retiring to the country.
Dunn was a good player in his
day. He was an excellent utility
man, able to pitch and also play
practically all positions save be-
hind the bat. Becoming a mag
nate, he has displayed real ability
and, now that the Federal League
has passed away, he has rolled
up a snug fortune for himself
out of the game.
For the past five years Dunn's
Baltimore Orioles have won the
International League pennants,
They are now leading again. Yet
1t is said that Dunn is not salts
fled with the caliber Of his play
ers and plans to release most of
them.
Alexander, after conquering the
world, is said to have sighed be-
cause there were no more worlds
to conquer. Dunn is in much
the same quandary. He just can't
seem to take any interest in win
ming his sixth pennant.

In The Signs of The Times

We pass through no royal court,
no questioning retInue, to come to
Jesus. There is no let or hinderance
in our receiving His favor and His
grace. We do not have to buy His
help through advocates. There is no
one standing in the way between US
and Jesus.
He is our priest. He stands in the
sanctuary of heaven, before the
throne of God, offering the perfect
sacrifice of His blood for the for
giveness of our sins, and, bestowing
the free pardon of His Father upon
those who come to Him in faith. He
will not leave His office and duty of
High Priest so long as there remains
upon earth one man who seeks for
giveness and perfection through His
name.
He is our advocate, our lawyer.
He stands in the court of the great
Judge, whose law has been broken by
US times without number. But He
has a perfect case; for in the place
of our sinfulness, He is able to put
His own sinlessness; in the place OF
our evil nature, His righteous char
acter. He never pleads before the
Judge in vain for any who come to
God through Him. Before US He
places the loving justice of the
Father who gave His own Son to sat
isfy the law; and before Him He
places the alteration and the service
of those children of men whom He
has redeemed.
He is our friend. He has felt the
pains of life; He has known the hun
ger and the WEAKNESS of human flesh;
He has met the fierce assaults OF
passion in His own mind and BODY;
He has wept with sorrow as he has
also laughed with joy. Our needs, our
aspirations are familiar to Him as
they could never be to highest arch
angel or holiday saint or dearest
mother. He seeks our companion
ship; He desires to walk and talk
with US; and to crown us FINALLY
with the noblest attributes OF the
divine and human Christ.
There is no one between us and
Jesus. Let us therefore, with con
fidence and certain hopes, come to
Him, and He will in nowise cast US
out.

forty-two new ministers Of God were
ordained every twenty-four hours

to have this and the news items that
tell of the progress Of the common

a great national press of our own that
shall spread the truth everywhere
concerning all those matters which
have so large and so important a
place in the lives of all? Why not
have a great daily that will be the

OF CHURCH DAILIES
Proposal Is Brought Up ut New
York Methodist Conference
Debate Follows

NEW YORK, April 19.-At the
l25th annual meeting Of the New
York Methodist conference held here
the past week, suggestion was made
by the Rev. DIR. G. Franklin Snyder
Of Chatham, N. Y, that the church
undertake in cooperation with other
Protestant denominations the estab-
hshment in three large American cit
les Of daily newspapers.
In the debate which followed, Rev.
DIR. Snyder had the following to say:
1.-THE press as a whole, instead Of
seeking to give constructive aid to
all agencies Of uplift and betterment
and agencies Of education and charac-
ter building have tendency to adj
versely criticize the church and her
ministers.
"Prize fighters are featured in
places of prominence as having en-
gagged in the greatest, battles, OF the
centuries. Space worth millions OF
dollars in the aggregate is freely de-
voted to the promotion OF that when
debases and degrades all who nave
any part in the things thus adVer-
tised. The liberty Of the press has
long since lapsed into mere license
to print what they please regarding
the character and conduct OF any cr
whom it may please their employers
to traduce and Islander.
"Why present the agencies that
make for good in the world in false
light and the church as moribund
society made up Of few old woi
and little children deserving the pity
or contempt or both of regular folks?
ut is true that there were organ
lied twenty-six new congregations a
day in the United States during 1922

CURRENT EVENTS
Exclusion Vote Is Congress
Reply to Japan Note
Dawes Plan 0. KID.
By EDWARD w. PickARp

IAPAN'S effort to dictate Americas
- immigration policy has resulted, so
far, very unfortunately for Japan.
Ambassador Hanihara's warning that
adoption of the exclusion clause In
the Johnson bill would have grave
consequences" was considered imper-
tinent and insulting by congress. There
fore after the house had passed the
measure by a vote Of 322 to II, the
senate set It's face sternly and voted
unanimously in favor Of that clause
which provides for the exclusion Of
japanese immigrants from the United
States.
The administration, through Secre-
tary of State Hughes, is on record as
opposed to this clause and in favor of
extending the quota Limitation to
Japan with the "gentlemen's agree
ment" retained But in view Of the
unanimty of opinion in congress 1t is
held by many in Washington that Pres
ident Coolidge scarcely can afford to
veto the measure. On the other hand,
all the paclfist organizations in the
country have Jumped to the front with
demands that Mr.. Coolidge put the
mark OF his disapproval on the legis-
lation. Jane Adams, Amy Woods,
Arthur Deering Call and other spokes-
men for these associations urged that
the bill would be distinct setback to
the cause of amity among nations.
Since II has become known that the
Russian Reds have been working
through some Of these peace organiza-
lions to break down our national de-
tense and our form Of government,
may be that the senate. having given
full expression to Its resentment
against the japanese attempt to inter
fere with our legislation, will decide
to modify its stand when II comes to
the passage Of the immigration bill as
whole. Not, however, in Difference
TO the views Of the pacificists and
pinks.
The japanese government and peo-
pie are naturally disgruntled and dis
ihC press oNCi 10
demanding the resignation of the min
istry and even limiting at war with
America. Already campaign has
been started for a trade boycott on
the state of California If the exclusion
measure Is finally adopted. The gov
eminent insists there shall be no re-
taHatory measures and is said to be
ready to ask the League of Nations
conference at Brussels on July % to
approve new international immigra-
ton basis. In America the question is
looked on as being one of the admis-
sion or exclusion Of immigrants I'M
desirable economically. In Japan 1t
Is considered question Of race equal
ity, and the japanese feel that they
are undervalued and insulted.
Possibility of war with Japan is Of
course remote, but the controversy Is
being utilized by both those who ad-
vocate the strengthening Of our de-
lenses and those who urge that we
abandon the Philippine islands before
they are taken away from us by ia
pan-as they easily could he under
present conditions.

The whole of a personality is more

Every Klansman, as a voter,

not vote for himself alone; he
dare not choose for himself only.
He must vote for the benefit OF

that is why his choice must be

Furnishing Judges
judges sometimes do their duty.
When they do, there is frequently an
attempt at the ballot box TO punish
them. This is an unfortunate Ameri-
can practice. 1t shows that we still
have some distance to go before we
acquire perfect poise and judgment
One of Americas greatest lawyers,
Horace Binney, wrote philippe
against the slaughter of judges who
tried 10 do their duty. Among other
things he said, 1--WE are now under
the direction of fearful mandate,
which compels judges to enter the
arena of popular election for their
offices. That puts a cord around the
neck of every one Of them during the
whole term Of office" Horace had an
idea that judges should go on the
bench under good behavior, of course
for life. And maybe he was right
His word didn't travel very far, and
his voice, echoing down the corridor
Of sixty years, is not listened TO or
even heard.
Shall we 60 on soaring the judges,
making them believe that if they de-
eide rightly and justly we shall take
them out and why them? Shall we
go on playing to our baser ideas and
put an extra hoodwink over the eyes
of Justice? How shall we treat the
judges who are deciding law--inter-
preting the peoples united con-
science-as they think best?
