PAPER HITS
DIR. EDDY
Editorial Accuses Evangelist
OF Preaching Socialism
in Religious Meetings.

PHILADELPHIA, March 14.-Dr.
Sherwood Eddy, evangelist Of note,
who has begun a series Of addresses
at the University Of Pennsylvania.
was accused editorially in the Penn.
sylvanian. student daily paper. Of
preaching socialism.
DR.. Eddy. who il appearing on.
the Penn campus under the auspices
Of the Christian Association Of the
University, has made two addresses
in Weightman Hall, both Of which
were well attended.
The editorial began with an
apology for a previous one in which
DIR. Eddy had been praised, and
declares the editors were laboring
under a misapprehension IN believ-
ing DR.. Eddy was to speak as an
evangelist. This editorial charges
that DR.. Eddy ia behind a youth
movement" and that his discussions
have been decidedly socialistic.
Socialism and Religion.
els 1t right to cloak socialism
with religion" asks the editorial as
one OF the four questions which
confront students who have listened
to DR.. Eddy. The other three ques-
tons ask If the Christian Associa-
ton is not stepping beyond its
sphere; If it is fair to bring students
to meetings for religious discussion
and give them another thing. and If
the proper place for DIR. Eddy is not
the University Forum.
1.-The forum is the place for DR..
Eddy to speak, not the pulpit Of the
Christian Association" continues
the editorial.
If DR.. Eddy were speaking at
forum meetings, he would present
his ideas as ideas. They would be
considered as such. when he pre-
sents them in the pulpit, they are
more than ideas, they are 'planks,'
receiving the approval Of the Chris
tan Association, an organization
whose approval carries great weight
as the representative of the church."
DIR. Eddy's Subjects.
Doctor Eddy. in his first two ad-
dresses had for his topics 1.-THE
Social and Industrial Unrest of
Today" and THE Challenge Of a
New Order"
In the first talk, DIR. Eddy dwelt
Association upon conditions in
other countries, saying. among
other things, that much of the
comment made concerning Russia
today is erroneous.
DR.. Eddy's second talk concerned
Christian principles in business. He
maintained that the employment Of
Christian doctrines in dealing with
labor had already proved it's ad.
vantage over the idea of quick
and immense profits.
Officials Silent.
Christian Association officials de-
| clined to comment on the editorial
One official, however, said he under.
stood the student who wrote the
editorial and was instrumental in
having it published had not at
tended the first Eddy meeting.
Mr.. Eddy, in referring to the
editorial in his third address in
Weightman Hall, said "the man
who wrote this editorial could not
have been at the meeting, or he
would not have misinterpreted my
words. / did not mention socialism,
| nor did I refer to Socialists in any
way. am not a Socialist and
never will be.
The editorial also ss2ted that
religion should not be mixed with
material things. My answer to this

ENGLISH QUEEN, !
STRONG FOR
ECONOMY
Spouse Of King George Pares
Household Expenses and
Cuts Palace Stats
BY international NewU service.


LONDON, June 3.-The Queen
Of England ought to be known an
the Empress of Economy"-at
least, that is what the servants in
the royal palaces think.
Her majesty has just been max
ing one of her periodical inspec.
tons of her household. She has
left her domestic staff in no doubt
regarding her zeal for thrift.
Her first act was to inspect the
housekeeping books, which she ex-
amined with the acumen of
skilled accountant. On many items
she made both critical and cutting
comments, suggesting that the total
expenses were far too high and
that some items, particularly soap,
cost far too much. Stringent or
ders were given that many items
were to be instantly reduced.
Around the kitchens and offices
the Queen decided that everything
was being kept sufficiently clean
and in good order. But she came
to the conclusion that too much
outside help was being required and
that an immediate reduction in
the staff could be made without
loss of efficiency.
Diving into an obscure cupboard,
the Queen found a great heap Of
wood for fires, probably placed
there by an outside assistant who
was going to take it home. The
Queen was considerably annoyed at
this discovery, saw personally that
the wood was taken back, to the
proper storehouse, and issued
grave warning against any leak
ages OF household stores.
In the ballroom the Queen found
number Of men busily. polishing
the floor for dance. Not only did
their methods strike her as being
too leisurely. but she also insisted
that they were using far too much
polish. LESS polish and more
elboW-grease" was her instruction
to the workers.
But the Queens efforts at strict
economy are not always complete
ly successful. Recently she had to
arrange for an old housekeeper TO
be pensioned off. 1t occurred to
her that she might offer the old
lady the use of a house near Ken
Sington, which was Of no use to the
royal family, and considerably re-
duce the money payment.
She made the suggestion. But
the old housekeeper was adamant.
saying that the house was no good
to her. They argued together as
woman to woman for over an hour,
but the Queen, in the finish. had to
confess herself defeated.
Nevertheless her periodical but
surprise inspections have a SALT
tary effect on her households, ana
very little corruption exists in the
royal palaces in these days. In
fact, had the Queen been the wife
of poor man she might have been
regarded as a model housekesper.

GRANGE DEMANDS ACTION
Declares Time Has Come For Vigor-
our Drive Against Traffic
in Narcotics.

The National Grange has taken a
strong stand in favor of drastic ac-
ton to stamp out the traffic in mar
cotics and opiates an dis planning to
concentrate its energies the coming
year in vigorous campaign aiding
this cause The way the Grange
feels about 1t is expressed in its
recent declaration favoring the Unit
ed States entering into negotiation
with the English government in a
vigorous effort to confine the output
of narcotics strictly to amounts
necessary for legitimate medicinal
purposes. The fact that over 200
tons per year of opiates and mar
cotics are used in America, while the
best medicinal authorities agree that
less than two tons year should sup
ply all the legitimate needs of the
United States, has aroused the
Grange to the need for drastic ac-
ton
This organization has also declar-
ed its belief that all medicinal mar
cotics and opiates should be sold un-
der Federal license, with a system
Of complete rec7~d of distribution
and that all other traffic in such mar
cofics and opiates be made unlawful
and punishable with severe penalty
and furthermore that the manufac-
trre of all such products should he
under tsrict governmental supervis-
ion and control.

PROTECTING THE INVESTOR

The national campaign for thrift,
the education of the people tor save
their earnings and invest them safe
ly, makes this subject of vital i'm
portance.
Consideration of the more import
ant factors affecting securities,
especially upon farm lands and city
property, is of the utmost import
ance.
Capital Is constantly accommodating
in our country and is seeking safe
and profitable investment upon real
estate values that are constantly
growing.
More and more the bankers of our
country are besought for informa-
ton and advice that will protect in
yestors against speculative secur-
tiles.
1t can be safely set down that
even under adverse circumstances
90 per cent of the farmers of our
country are solvent.
1t is admitted that farm mortgag es
are one of the best forms of invest
ment and they are securing the low
est rate Of interest on long term
mortgages
The only obstacle to the farmers
occurring the cheapest money in the
world is high rates of taxation and
the issuance of nontaxable securities.
