Wesley Chapel Record
Corrected by MIR. Topham

To the Editor of The Star:
I read with interest the article in
The Star Of December 81 IN reference
to the sale of Wesley Chapel, at the
corner of 5th and F. streets north
west. wish to correct several er-
rors that have crept into the record
and which have been given alike by
several of our local papers. Wesley
Chapel, the original building at the
corner of 5th and F streets, was fin
ished and occupied in 1929.
This was in the old third ward of
orr city, and it is interesting to note
that two other churches were built
in this same ward in this year,
namely, the original Fourth Presby-
terian Church, on 9th street above g
street, which was dedicated on March
/, 1929, and the Trinity Protestant
above D street, afterward the site of
the old Columbian Law building,
which was opened on April II, 1929.
Wesley Chapel, built in 1929, was
RACED in 1856 and gave place at the
same location to Wesley Methodist
Episcopal Church, at that time a,
modern brick structure sixty by
ninety feet. It was this church
building that has just been sold to
the denomination known as the Sew
enth-day Adventists.
NV father attended church services
in the old Wesley Chapel when he
first came to Washington, and my
mother attended Sunday school when
a girl at the old Columbian Law
building on 5th street.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Tt is a noteworthy coincidence that

Drunken Drivers.

Police report that last week they ar
rested twenty-one persons on the
charge Of driving automobiles while
drunk. Probably there were many
drunken drivers who were not arrest
ed, but if those arrested are convicted
and adequately punished it will have
salutary effect on traffic conditions
At the rate of twenty-one convictions
a week the drunken driver would at
length disappear from the streets.
The offense Of q drunken man driv-
ing an automobile is to be treated not
lightly but vigorously. Danger in the
streets is great enough for all persons,
even with sober men at the steering
wheels Of cars. The authorities recog.
nize that the drunken driver is a
grave menace to the community, and
the superintendent of police has ad-
monished the force to look sharp for
these offenders. Judges have ex-
pressed strong opinions on the sub
ject, and probably will not show clem-
ency in handing down punishment to
these men when 1t is clear that they
are guilty.

Secretary MELONS Message.

Secretary Mellon gives the country
q New Year greeting in terms that
will be clearly understood and highly
appreciated. The United States. he
says, has recovered remarkably from
severe industrial depression; busi-
ness is on a sound footing, with fairly
balanced relations between industries,
and there is basis for confidence that
the year Immediately ahead will see
continued progress "if the drag of an
unsound basis of taxation is removed
from business and industry"
Treasury conditions are propitious.
The fiscal year closed with a surplus
Of about $32O,0Oo,0O0 above all ex-
penditures chargeable against ordi-
nary receipts, including sinking fund
and debt retirements. The government
has refunded the seven and a half
billions Of the short-dated debt with
out disturbance of business or strain
on the financial market. This accom-
plishment is alone notable achieve
ment.

Of revenues over ordinary eXpendi-
lures, it is proposed to lower taxes. A
plan to that effect has been advanced
and is before Congress. 1t is believed
that if adopted by enactment into law
it will yield a great measure of relief
to all classes Of taxpayers, and will,
moreover, release for investment in
productive enterprises funds that are
necessary for the expansion of the
country's business.
This is a plain, simple statement. 1t
appeals to the business sense of the
people. 1t should make for straight

rection of tax reduction, not as a po-
litical expedient, but as measure OF

Back Of all this is perhaps a hope
that the new year will bring better

'1uck will change" if it has been bad.
or will become even more propitious if
it has been good. At such a time 1t is
like travelling a turning road, with
the possibility of q reward lying just
beyond the next bend.
1t is but an arbitrary affair after
all, this marking off Of the year at
this particular time. 1t might as well
be a month earlier, or month later.

ed the new year would Immediately
follow the shortest day Of the year,

months, with waning light thereafter.
But this is New Year day, and a
few hours ago it was welcomed with
much noise and rejoicing. And thus
it will be continued to be welcomed in
the years to come. with perhaps va
riations and exaggerations. Meanwhile
the hearty handclasp and exchange of
good wishes for the coming twelve

of sound and whatever the festivities
that accompany the dawn Of a new

Communists and Workers Party

A three-day convention of the
workers party of America is in prog
ress in Chicago An attendance of
5000 was expected, and was pro-
claimed in advance as proof that the
movement is growing. AS a matter Of
fact about 200 were present at the
opening session. According to reports
of the meeting there was the usual
illumination about the capitalists, the
tyrannical government and the urgent
need of boring from within" in the
labor organizations. The most inter
esting feature of the session. however.
was the reading of a message from
the executive committee Of the COM
munist international at Moscow. Evil

The excellent work that has been
done by the communists in the left
wing of the labor movement of the
United States demonstrates that IL all
the comrades were members of trade
unions the work would increase many
fold.
What work? There can be but one
answer: To sovietize the United States
through the domination Of the unions.
the wrecking of industries and the
subversion of the government. Mos
cow may rave in protest against the
charge that there is an organic con-
nection between the communist inter
national and the soviet government.
Its friends here may declaim in i'm
passioned protest against the sugges-
ton that the third international, di-
rectly or through the agency Of the
soviet administration, which is its
creature, is seeking to hoist the red
flag over the White House" But the
fact remains that the third interna-
tional is trying to promote cOmmu-
nism in the United States. 1t still be-
lieyes that this can be done through
the medium of organized labor. But,
happily. organized labor in the United
States is intelligent to the degree that
it recognizes the menace to itself as
to the country in this insidious props

What of the new year? What will
1t bring to the American people? Will
it, on its passing, find them as happy
and contented, as prosperous, as they
were in the closing hours of 1923?
This new year will be marked by an
event that has become fixed expert
ence ordained by the Constitution, the
selection Of a President. Domestic af-
fairs will be in large measure adjust.
ed to that event. Already the pre-
liminaries of the campaign are in evil
dence. The political wheels are a-spin.
The skirmishes of the great battle are
being fought. And though this hap
pens every fourth year, whenever it
recurs it is as some new experience.
Prophets of political disaster have
been refuted again and again in Amer
lea, and the people have come to un-
derstand that while fervid speakers
may proclaim the imminence Of dire
pens. Two generations ago something
terrible did happen. and for four years
the country was riven by civil strife.
But that sacrifice was to the end of a
solution Of a problem that. as long as
II remained unsettled, menaced the ma
tion with disruption.
This country is firmly founded upon
bedrock of institutions that have their
footings on fundamental principles of
communal life. 1t cannot be shaken
out Of its orderly course short Of
total neglect of civic duty by ma
jority of the people. There is little
danger of such a disaster.
So the years most important hap
pening, exciting though it may be-
will not become but an episode in the
nations history. 1t may lead to
changes. to big changes, perhaps. but
they will be in the line of the evolu-
ton of the nation.
In respect to the prosperity OF the
people there is small reason for any
apprehension. The year just closed has
been one of advancement, or excep-
tional comfort, of remarkable percent
age of employment, of little public
suffering. Positively and negatively
it has been a good year. 1t has closed
with no signs visible Of a change of
economic conditions.
Its friendly relations with other ma
tions unimpaired. immune from dis
aster. spared from pestilence, secure
in substantial prosperity, beset with
no serious questions that will not yield
States faces the new year with a rich
blessing of strength and happiness. 1t
may confidently expect to advance
during the next twelve months toward
the goal Of all assemblages Of people,
the attainment of state Of universal
by respect for the higher laws Of life
