Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-01-11


Fundamentalists and Modemists,
which is reported to have reached
fever heat prior to the Christmas
holidays.
In conformity to the will of prom.
inent bishop of the church a truce was
declared during the Christmas season.
1t appears that both factions realized
momentarily that they are worship
ing the same Christ.
Now that Christmas is past there
is hope of the two factions sheathing
bishops have held conference 10
which prominent Iaymen Of both fac
| tions were invited.
The closing paragraph of an Off
cial statement issued following the
conference indicates the trend of the
deliberations:
We believe that the right solution
of the difficulties within the church
will be found not In controversy but
through conference"
An agreement to arrange further
conferences was signed by members
Of bo,h factions.
Press dispatches indicate that the
United States Army will sell the
0bregon government in Mexico a
quantity of war materials to prosecute
the war between Obregon and Adolfo
de la Huerta, former Mexican min
lister Of finance, and henl of the
present revolutionary forces.
The plan IS said to have the en-
uorsement of Secretary Of State
Hughes, Secretary of War Weeks, and
President Coolidge. This is taken in
many quarters as a virtual recogni-
| ton of the Obregon regime in Mexico
and an attitude Of protest to the
revolutionary forces.
Action of Secretary Hughes favor
ing the plan followed a special reques,
of the 0bregon government for help
Ii is expected that the action will
cause controversy in the next session
of Congress.
After being arrested ninety-onC
times on various charges a st. Louis
boy, % years old, was shot and KILLED
in a hold-up.
Such an unprecedented number ol
arrests indicates either that the st
Louis police department was perse
cutting the youth by the common
method of riding" or that the courts
had not performed their duty in his
case.
A youth that is arrested dozer
times. or even half that number, i
either being prosecuted or is ineorrigi
bic and should be in a school or IN
stitution of a reform character.
He is either victim of police IN
efficiency or a victim of hereditary
criminal instincts, and in the latte
case should not be at large.
! A close vote on the bonus question
l. expected in the United States sen
ate as a result of the opposition o
President Coolidge to the measure
Yet. according to a poll of the senate
the bill will have majority OF lou
votes. Sixty-eight senators are sai'
to favor the bill; twenty-five ar
against it and three are classed a
doubtful.
The house will pass the bill with a.
overwhelming vote.
However, statements Of senator
and representatives who were can
vassed in the poll, are not taken a
a pledge Of party or administratio
attitude toward the bill.
The American Legion considers tn
attitude Of President Coolidge incor
sistent in view of the strong publ
statements favoring the bill which ar
credited to the late President Haro
ing in a speech at Cincinnati on OC
tober 20, 1920.
/ Mr.. Harding is reported to hay
said: II want to say in passing-an
wanted to say it to the service me
while they were in the hall-that
want an America that will never fol
get the gratitude for the service tha
they gave to the country. -
81 myself think it 1.-THE bonus bill
ought to pass, if you want to kno
my view"
Mr.. Harding in his speech made h
point clear that the financial conditic
. of the country at that time did NJ
warrant passing the measure at I'M
J session of Congress.
