Rehabilitated MethOdism

NCudOAuIAIGu 0AC11O0AoAA
Ever since Methodism, created by
the Wesleys, divided itself in this
country into more than sixteen differ
ent outstanding varieties, thoughtful
proponents Of that sect have wondered
whether the cause Of Methodism has
been justly promoted. And when the
Methodist Church North and the
Methodist Church South continued to
lock horns in anger instead of coming
together in Christian unity, ardent
Methodists despaired of ever incarnat-
ing John Wesley of old into modern
Methodism.
10 and behold, however, during the
past week the joint commission Of the
African Methodist Episcopal church
and the African Methodist Episcopal
Church Of Zion, representing, it is
claimed, more than a million Meth
odists the country over, met in solemn
session in Washington, D. C., and re-
solved that @the time is at hand and
the necessity is upon US for the organic
union of the African Methodist Epis-
copal Church and the African Meth
odist Episcopal Church of Zion"
This is truly forward-looking re-
iigious step, and one which is exemp-
larry to the great white church. which,
also, should have been invited to a
greater unity in the promotion Of the
Christian religion.
Truly, there are too many sects and
too few Christians; too many churches
and too little religion. Sectional lines
religious and otherwise, must pas:
away ere we can hope to be prepared
to enter the real church of Christ. In.
stead Of religious differences there
must be religious union,-the recogni
ton BY all Of the fundamentals left fol

Public Utilities and the Negro

Public Utilities and the Negro
The message of Governor Al Smith
of New York, to the State Legislature,
particularly in his analysis of the rela-
tionship which should exist between
public utilities and the general public,
is ground for recalling, briefly, those
particular public utilities, corporations,
and instrumentalities for public wei
fare and comfort created by law for
utilization by the public. We mean,
by this, the public school, public hos
pitals and health institutions, clinics,
transportation implements, and similar
advantages, partially supported by
public funds for the benefit of the gen
eral public.
Students Of judicial history will re-
call the dissenting opinion of Justice
Harlan of the U. S. Supreme Court,
when he vigorously stated at the time
the Civil Rights Bills were rejected,
that when public utilities did become
strongly clothed with public purposes,
the public did acquire a public interest
in them to the extent that they should
not exclude any race or differentiate as
to the treatment accorded upon the
basis of color variations.
It IS IN the exercise of public func-
tons, from steam railways on down,
that the Negro has suffered his hardest
blows in striving for freedom and abb
solute equality. In the allotment of
public funds or services, such as hospi-
tai treatment, health programs, ETC.,
in states which continue to cling to
the virtue of color differences as just
cause for harmful distinctions as be-
tween races, the logic is the constant
receiver of but half loaf" This is
contrary to the public welfare; and,
in fact, the struggling Negro because
Of his difficulties in general needs more
sympathy and a wider access to pub
lie utilities than does any other group
in America.
Those who look askance at Negro
mortality would do we'll to turn their
shoulders to the task of seeing that
public institutions give just measure
of curatives and comforts to the Ne
gro. The nation cannot progress
wholeheartedly as long as discrimina-
ton exists in the availability of public
instrumentalities Of human preserva-
ton. And if, as Governor Smith says,
the public should have unhampered
control Of the utilities which it creates,
then, surely, the public should share
unreservedly and non-discriminately in
the preservatives, stimulants, and COM
forts which public utilities essay to
offer to the public.

they knew about our flight in great

looks after me and SO did the taxi
drivers.
In fact, every one we have met from
every walk of life has shown the same

personally. They were showing their
great interest in the wonderful new
science of aviation and they were
cheering the American flag which we
carried.
We were simply the standard
bearers of the moment. The French

their real affection for America. which

it took something of a dramatic ma

to make it show itself.

HALE INSISTS ON PARITY.
Senate Naval Committee Head Looks
for Agreement.

BAR HARBOR, Me-, July 5 @.-
Congress and the American people
will never consent to any agreement
at the Geneva naval conference that
subordinates our Navy to that of any
other nation in the world" Senator
Frederick Hale of Maine, chairman of
the Senate naval affairs committee,
told the State convention of the Amer
lean Legion today.
Expressing the hope that the Amer
lean delegates at the conference will
be able to bring about an agreement
that will result in application of the
5-5-3 ratio to other than capital
ships and carriers and that eventually
France and Italy will enter such an
agreement, he added:
when such an agreement shall
have been brought about / fully be-
lieve a general cut-down all along
the line on the terms of the ratio
may be brought about and in this way
that the burden Of armament may be
lightened on the shoulders of the
people"
A powerful American Navy, he said,
''is the strongest factor for peace in
the world"

FRANCE OBSERVES
AMERICAN HOLIDAY
Greatest Celebration Since
War Marks Tribute to
United States.


PARIS. July 5.-All France knew
that yesterday was American Inde,
pendence day and the holiday was OBJ
served with more ardor and pride in
Paris and the provinces than any
Fourth of July since the war.
To a great extent the increased in.
terest of the French in the day was
attributed to the fact that three times
within the last few weeks American
aviators have crossed the Atlantic
and that six of the seven American
flyers who made these flights were in
Paris yesterday.
Everywhere in the capital, on all
public buildings and on many private
ones, the Stars and Stripes waved un-
der a perfect blue sky and in glorious
Summer weather. while in many pro-
vincial cities as well the American flag
flew beside the Tricolor.
The Partisan newspapers made
much of Independence day. 1t was
first page news in all IF them, most
of them devoting several columns to
the various ceremonies with which
the American colony and the French
themselves celebrated the day,
Following long established custom
the first ceremony was at the tomb
of Lafayette. During the morning

o'clock yesterday morning by the
charge d'affaires, who, with high
French officials, then went TO the
Place des Etats-Unis, where flowers
were laid upon the statue of Alan
Eager. The ceremonies here were
conducted by the organization of
American volunteers who fought in
the French army during the World
War. Comdr. Richard f. Byrd and

this ceremony.

Ated havoc and destruction among
the Japanese merchant ships.
1t was to avoid such possible at
tacks at the very heart of Japan in
the future that the Japanese asked
the right to construct an unrestricted
number of tiny submarines which,
like wasps, could sting all hostile
comers, the Japanese argument ran.
Japan asked this right by exception.

Great Britain, it is understood,
however, Immediately saw that
France, separated from the British
shore only by a narrow channel,
might utilize the Japanese exception
to demand a similar right for small
French submarines demand which
would be difficult to accord from the
British viewpoint since Frances
proximity would be far different
thing for England than Japan's iso-
lation in the Far East
The indications today were that
Japan would be given satisfaction by
the accordance of a higher percentage
of submarines than is denoted by
Washington's ratio Of 5-5-3 on
capital ships.
In the meanwhile the Associated
Press understands that the Japanese
delegation, while not insisting on
making a change in the Washing
ton decisions at Geneva, earnestly

desires to start the machinery o. a
movement for a technical study of
the sizes of battleships, so that when

1881 begins, the delegates will be
ready to reach quick agreement.
The American delegation presuma-

Of any political agreement here which
would not touch Chinese interests.

"An agreement was arrived on a,
submarine question which has been
outstanding. A brief discussion of
cruisers followed with a view to
examine ways of adjusting the re-
quirements in cruisers of the several
powers. The committee adjourned to
enable the delegations to study this
question in detail"
1t is understood that the question
upon which accord was reached today
refers to the size of the torpedo tubes
of submarines.
