Senator Helm has the habit of talking too much.
He expresses his opinions forcibly. and it might be
said, picturesquely. But as he gives little heed TO
facts, his speeches are generally a tumble Of preju-
dice and misinformation, presented, apparently, merely
to take up the time Of the senate and convince his con-
stituents he is a real figure in Washington.
-Four years ago the Lower Rio Grande Valley was
the victim of his spasmodic outbreaks, and Governor
Smith of New York was intended as the victim of
his latest. However. the vociferous Alabaman's lat
est outburst is ~wreathing the faces Of the Smith sup
,orters with smiles. Like all others who appeal to
prejudice or passion, Senator Helm overshot his
mark. and the reaction will ~dougtless add to the Smith
following in the democratic national convention.
IL the comments 4 southern newspapers and the
opinions pressed by both democratic and republican
leaders in Washington may be taken as a criterion,
Senator Helm has virtually assured Governor Smith
the democratic nomination. The democratic and repub-
lican press has been almost unanimous in denouncing
the effort of the ALBANIAN to raise the religious is
sue, and assert that b. so wildly portraying intoler-
ance before the nation at this time. he has served the
man he had set out 20 destroy. Members of the senate
have long been hardened TO permit almost any kind
Of emotional oratory among themselves to pass into
history without more than a good natured protest, but
in this instance Senator Helm transgressed the point
where even his democratic colleagues were willing to
remain silent
Unwittingly, the ALBANIAN who talks too much has
presented to the supporters Of Governor Smith an OPP
portunity which they have welcomed. They have been
able to say: There is a flaming example of bigotry.
Are the American people ready to follow such leader
ship"
The reply has been a lusty and almost unanimous
from every quarter Of the United States. Re-
rardless of their religious beliefs the American public
would never follow such leadership and will never con-
done such attacks, based only upon bigotry and preiu-
dice.
Helms speech was OF particular Importance to
the hackers Of Governor Smith, and in their opinion

TRIAL MARRIAGE ATTACKED

Pastor Of Park Avenue Baptist Church. New

VI III avenue bapt1st CHURCH., New York
CDr. Harry Emerson Fosdick was born in Buff
falo. New York, in 1878. He was ordained 10 the
Baptist ministry in 1908, and served as pastor of
me First church of Monclair, N. j., from 1904 to
1915. Dr. Fosdick became an instructor in homilet-
les at the Union Theological Seminary in 1908 and
served IN that capacity until 1915, when he became
professor Of practical theology at the seminary. He
has been pastor Of the Park Avenue Baptist
church, of New York, since 1851
A revolt is on against old-fashioned family life.
for at least 100000 women are g~ainfully employed in
the United States today and do not have to stand
what their foremothers used to endure.
Folks see plainly what they are flying from. bu.
they do not see what they are fleeing to. Companion
ate marriage seems to be the term that popularity
sums il up. The first time that term was used it was
coined by a professor in Barnard college and it meant
the simple and obvious thing, that there are situations
where young people ought to be married, but where,
for reasons of health or economies, they ought not to
expect children during the first years of their union.
Surely any one who knows the facts would count
that original meaning of the term innocent and inevi-
table. But now the revolt has pushed the term com
panionate marriage" over the brink to the slope and il
is sliding until now it commonly signifies trial mar
riage.
Try marriage once" it seems to say. IF YOU
do not like it, try it again. Marriage" it says, lis
nothing sacred that you need to be afraid to expert
ment with it. It is like buying a pair Of shoes" this
punt OF view Ihihks. vi course you VIII try TO get q
good fit the first time. for it is such a nuisance to
change. But if they do not fit no great harm is done.
Get another pair. Such is the idea Of marriage that
many people are fleeing to.
1t means the absolute ruin, not only ethically but
psychologically, of the values Of marriage. For real
marriage means three things and all the accumulated
experience Of the race shows it-falling in love, mas
tering the fine art Of staying in love and achieving the
goal of growing up in love until within the green cusp
Of a physical relationship grows the fair flower of a
spiritual union.
Nothing else is even good psychology. Do not lis
ten to the whipper-snappers who talk otherwise. The
real men in the field Of psychology understand that
represents an ideal in which are enshrined
the deepest values Of married life.

AGENDA SILENCE THOSE
WHO WOULD QUARREL

WASHINGTON. Feb. a. - When
ever an international conference is
on, as at Havana, we always hear a
lot about the "agenda."
An "agendum" is something to
be done" In the plural-"agenda"
1t means a memorandum book"
In diplomatic speech il comes nearer
to signifying a program" In this
it's most conveniently men
toned in the singular, rather than
the plural-one "agenda." not a
whole flock of "~agendums."
An "agenda's" purpose is to choke
off, in advance, anything unpleasant
to anybody at an international con-
ference. Otherwise all the c~onferees
would be afraid of having their feel
ings hurt, nobody'd come, and there
wouldn't be any conferences.
Suppose a case like this:
Half a dozen countries want TO
settle a few harmless questions like
mail transfers, mutual recognition
Of trade marks and a universal sys-
TEN Of weights and
II happens that one of these coun-
tries plans to spank one of the 9TH
ers-a smaller one-at the initial
opportunity.
The minute the conference opens
it's a cinch that the prospective
spankee will grab the chance, while
it has an audience, to bawl out the
country Of the first part for the lat
ter's spankish intentions-thereby,
possibly, making it very difficult
for said country of the first part to
call It a defensive" spanking, when
the time comes to administer it.
Here's where the "agenda" fits
in. The four neutral countries, car
ing neither one way nor the other
about the impending spanking, but
most DESTROYS of action relative TO
mails. trade marks and weights and
measures, propose q program limited
to those subjects-exclusively.
This suits the big power, of spank
ing proclivities.
The little one, with nothing to
lose (for the spanking looms. any
vay) and everything Off anything)
