the Protestant church are being taken.
A considerable group of Canadian
churches have voted to unite. After
sixteen years, the Church of Scotland
and the United Free Church seem
nearer union.
There are local Observation-Disclosures
Community churches" in America, and
a few practically identical denomina-
tions ar euniting nationally.
Considering that not one church
member in ten knows, and fewer care,
what were the doctrinal disputes that
originally divided these denomina-
tions are uniting nationally.
slow. But, considering human nature,
it is perhaps fast enough.
Doctrinally, there is now room for
just two Protestant denominations
Fundamentalist and Modernist. Insti-
tutional ritualism might add third.
Economically, that is just about the
number most communities could ade-
quately support.
So, practically, in another genera
ton, we may see it done.
Turkey and Church Reach Agreement.
Turkey and the Greek church both
save their faces The expelled Patri-
arch resigns, and the Turks promise
to permit his successor in Constan-
tinople.
AS the policeman in the old story
said, "It's not that l hate We that |
bate We, but to show me authority"
Turkey, having shown its authority,
can now afford to omit the "hate" and
the "bate."
And the Orthodox Church, having
got back it's ancient rights, can af-
ford to send new person to exer-
else them.
There is nothing like ingenious
words to make compromise acceptable.
Tariff May Not Affect Sugar Situation.
President Coolidge takes advantage
of the lowered price of sugar to
postpone action indefinitely" on the
three-to-two recommendation Of the
tariff commission for a reduction of
the sugar duty. If the price goes up
again, the question may be reopened.
The trouble is that it is not certain

return, change in the tariff would
reduce them.
Our principal outside source of sup
ply is Cuba, where the sugar industry
is largely held by Americans, combin-
ed more closely than American law
would permit.
If the tariff goes down, their price
does not necessarily go down with it.
1t is controlled by competition, not
between themselves. but between them
and American and Hawaiian produc-
ers.
A maintained one might encourage
American production, which is the on
ly real competition.
They Have to Study What is Taught.
The decision of the Supreme Court
in the Oregon school case does not
mean that each individual parent has
the unlimited right to determine
which studies his individual child
shall take in the public schools.
At least, this is the ruling of State
Superintendent Will c. Wood, of the
California schools, in response to re-
quests from parents that their chill
dren be exempt from studying the re-
CURED work il physiology, hygiene
and physical culture.
Parents who prefer other schools
need not send their children to the
public schools, but if they do send
them, they must take the required
work.
Any other course would be anarchy
and chaos.
Why Wait Until Murder is Done?
Don't be too sure there is any such
thing as "harmless lunatic."
A man who ran away from Oklaho-
ma to escape being put in q sanitari-
UNI, and beat his way to California,
being locked up for observation sew
eral times along the road, but always
released as harmless" finally arrived
in California so tanned that mis-
chievous boy called out "nigger."
So he shot the boy dead.
If these reported facts stand the
test of trial, nothing can be done to
him except to lock him up in the asy-
