REMOVING THE METHODIST
AMUSEMENT BAN

At a time when religious. educa-
tional and political institutions
throughout the country are under
taking grandiose schemes for dras-
tic regulation of private conduct,
1T is immensely significant that the
Methodist Episcopal General Con-
ference should take a step in the
other direction by abolis:ling the
rule forbidding Methodists from in
dulging in any amusements except
those (which can be used in the
name of the Lord Jesus"
This prohibition has been capa-
BILE of q wide latitude of interpreted
ton, but it has been generally
agreed that it applied specifically
to dancing, card-playing, and thea
ter-going. Although nearly all
MethOdists have disregarded the
prohibitions of theater-going and
dancing, the ban has remained a
part of the Methodist creed and
has seemed irremovable.
But now at last it is removed
Tie Methodist Church has learned
by long experience the futility of
attempting to prohibit amusements
which have the general sanction of
law-abiding, respectable members
of the community. TO say that be-
cause some games are demoraliz-
ing, all games are demoralizing.
and that because attendance at
some theatrical performances is
debasng, all theaters are debased,
is to say something which is so
fatty contrary to human expert
ence as to fall on deaf ears.
This futility has been so thor
oughly demonstrated that at last
the prohibition has been revised.
That so old church as the Metho-
dist Church, which for many gen
erations has made this gesture Vt
drastically regulating private con-
duct, should now forego that gest-
ure, is vastly significant of the
growing realization that private
conscience, private desires and
private judgment must have de-
gree of liberty that the police
mans club is frequently futile
weapon-and that man grows weak
il he is robbed of his right of self
determination and must rely upon
the state to map out his course. -

POLITICAL CANDOR

Mr. Ramsey Macdonald, the labor government premier

and elsewhere by his occasional simple frank explanation

the House of Commons said:

employe and boarder for the last
several months in the Simms home.
A cash across the left side of
the neck, about two inches in length,
was the only wound disclosed. The
jugular vein was severed.
States Attorney John A. Garrett
stated today that he has no doubt
that the grand jury which convened
today will promptly charge McClel-
Ian with rst-degree murder. In such
an event the case will be docketed
for trial at the term Of criminal court
which begins here Thursday, Novem-

Since the grand jury was about to
convene, the States attorney decided
there is no occasion for an inquest.
Mcclellan insists that he acted in
self-defense, claiming that Simms
was attacking him with a stick, after
having accused him with impropet
attentions toward Mrs. Simms. States
Attorney Garrett, however, said today
that the evidence will show that
Mcclellan and Simms quarreled in the
home and that the two went outside
at the suggestion of Mcclellan, and

motion to surrender the car. The
argument occupied several hours.
