A Sermon for Today
By Rev. John X. Gum

Text: "When / consider Thy
heavens, the work of Thy fingers,
the moon and the stars, which Thou
hast ordained; what is man, that
Thou art mindful of him? and the
son of man that Thou visitest him?
Psalms 1874.
RI AVID realized that in the
III Divine Mind man was of
great Importance. Amidst
aA the magnificence of this vast
system Of universal nature, man is
not forgotten by his Maker his hand
supports him, His wisdom guides
him and His excellent goodness
provides, in a thousand ways, for
his happiness and enjoyment-all of
which goes to show that in the
Divine Mind man outweighs all the
multitudinous and stupendous orbs
of the material universe. What is
1t in man which so attracts the
Almighty's attention in the presence
of the amazing splendors and
glorious wonders of the celestial
heights? That question was answered
when God said: Let us make man
in our own image" Man is the
crown Of Gods creation, being made
in His own likeness, spirit of his

NEW ACCIDENT
RECORD

CO7ERGT. MARY MOORE of
~ the police accident preven-
~ ton bureau reports that
traffic accidents in Indianapolis
have taken fifty-one lives and in
jured 1878 persons. Thirteen per-
sons have been killed in the last
twenty-six days.
indianapolis is in a fair way to
break its traffic death record. Last
year automobiles caused only sew
enty-three deaths in the city. This
year we are within twenty of that
mark. with the two best accident
months yet to go. If the fatalities
continue at the October speed,
1924 figures will be far surpassed.
In the United States two lives
are snuffed out every hour In au-
tomobile accidents. That's an
appalling toll. But there would
have to be six such deaths in the
country ever hour to equal the
Indianapolis death rate for the
past month We kill 'em quick
and often.
Perhaps nothing can be done to
lessen this toll. Safety is preached
and safety campaigns staged by
public authorities. Speeding and
reckless driving occasionally draw
reproof and nominal fines. Still
reckless driving and careless walk
ing continue to mix in the middle
Of our streets-and the casualty
list lengthens.
Obviously what indianapolis
needs is a more durable type of
pedestrian, more resilient automo-
biles, or more rigid traffic regula-
lions.
Until inventive genius supplies
that need, people will have to
watch their steps-both on the
pavement and the accelerator.
For the unwary citizen it is only
short step from the curb to the
morgue.

NO MORAL
| GUILT

C7EoRGE REMUs, Cincin-
NJ MATHS premier bootlegger
- who recently completed a
sentence in the Federal peniten.
tiary, was in indianapolis the other
day to testify before the Federal
grand Jury. He told reporters he
was through with breaking the
prohibition law.
About all l have done in nv
life is to sell good whisky" he said.
Il believe the prohibition law
should not have been enacted, and
while I was technically guilty of
its violation, 1 have never felt
morally guilty."
A lot of people are like George.
They feel no moral guilt about vio-
lating any statute that does not
meet with their personal approval.
Cain didn't suffer any moral
quaims over Staying his brother.
Murder to him seemed only a pri-
vate matter of concern to. nobody
except himself and Abel. But be-
cause the preponderance of public
opinion of the time thought other
wise. Cain was punished. AS a
result of the frequent association
of punishment with murder Gains
descendants have come to the con-
clusion that there is moral guilt
in murder.
So with other acts now generally
considered crimes. In the begin.
ming, no moral obloquy was at
tached to their commission. The
moral obloquy was the outgrowth
of public opinion and the enforce
ment of punishment.
If violators of some of our newer
statute-made crimes are punished
with certainty and regularity they
will eventually get the idea that
such offenses are improbable and
abhorrent. Punishment and public
opinion will invest such offenses
with moral guilt.

Repeating the Law of
Supply and Demand

n OR. over fifty years American grain farm
ers have been complaining bitterly about
price manipulation in the pit of the Chicago
Board of Trade. Until the present they have
been told that the prices were the result of
supply and demand and that the control of
them was beyond the power of any group of
men.
Now the directors Of the Board of Trade
announce that henceforth they reserve the
right, on ten hours notice, to fix the limits
within which prices can fuctuate. If occasion
arises the board will "repeal'' the law of sup
ply and demand which has been so long pro-
claimed, and arbitrarily establish a range of
prices. Along with this revolution comes the
establishment of committee on business eth
les, and the extension of the right to vote by
mail at meetings of the members of the ex-
change.
Why this sudden right-about-faceY Why
this wave of reform in the wheat pit? Does
it mean that the law of supply and demand, as
it gets older, becomes more feeble, and must be
bolstered?
1t is quite possible that the new rules for
grain trading are dictated by an improved re-
gard for business integrity New evils in
grain trading may also have been discovered
recently. Such possibilities however, will not
account for the sweeping changes instituted
by the Chicago traders who now make the adj
mission that supply and demand alone can not
be depended upon to fix fair grain prices
"A glance at recent decisions of the United
States Supreme Court makes the causes for
the new rules much more Ineligible. Among
those decisions is found an announcement that
the terminal grain exchanges properly to
be regarded as great national utilities and sub
ject to Government regulation. In the light of
that decision, the internal reform of the Chi
cago Board of Trade appears to be, at least
in part, a way of forestalling Government reg
ulation- regulation which would probably be
less patient than the farmers have been with
the old hoax about supply and demand.
