CLEARING DOCKET
Considering Assignment of
Bishops at QuadrenniaI Ses-
sion in Closing Hours.
BY the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, May 29.--Entering
the last of month of sessions here
today, the Quadrennial General Con-
ference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church turned to assignment of bishops
and consideration of more committee
reports.
Working under pressure until late
last night to clear crowded docket
for adjournment today, the conference
approved q new pension plan, dismissed
charges against eight bishops and voted
to leave the Apostles Greed Of the
church unchanged.
Under the new pension plan, the
church would pay annually into min
isters' retirement fund per cent OF
the pastors salary TO create reserve
for the retirement of aged clergymen
This would replace the present annual
assessment. The pastor would be re-
uuired to contribute 2l2 per cent OF MS
salary while active. which would accrue
to his heir In case OF his death before
retirement. AS reserve fund of about
500 900 900 would be required, no def
mite date was set for the plan To be-
come effective.
The charges against the bishops were
dismissed on the recommendation oil
the episcopacy committee, which re-
ported the allegations were Of techni-
cal nature and considered unimportant
Included were charges of heresy, filed al
this conference by the Rev. George A
Cooke OF Wilmington, Del, against
Bishops w. +. Mcdowell. Washington

The PEOPLES Business

When members of the Public Ownership League
met recently in Seattle they saw practical demon
sraton of their theory that electric light plants may
be operated by municipalities effectively and with
large savings to Taxpayers.
This, of course, is denied by the power interests,
which have spent vast in recent years to con-
vince the public that public ownership is 1neftcienS
and costly
At Seattle the visitors saw the first unit of the
new monster power project being developed on the
skagit River, which it is expected eventually will de-
velop a million horse power

Chicago's Police Blotter

In Chicago the police botter lives up to its name.
The police there simply use it to blot out the evil
dences of crime.
When one reads the report of Chicagos crime COM
mission that during the last two years at least 10000
complaints of criminal acts in that city were sup
pressed by the police one obtains glimpse of the
abyssmal depths to which official depravty has sunk
in that city of calloused conscience.
Had the police been nearly energetic in suppress
ing crime in suppresSing Of crime there would
be no need for the existence of crime commission.
Critics of American newspapers should be disarmed
by such report 1t is customary to rail against the
press for devoting $50 much space to crime" The
press is not actually guilty of the charge When &C
curately measured story for story column for column
page for page it will be found that the proportion of
crime news is almost negligible in the average daily
as contrasted with news and articles Of other kinds
The press pleads guilty often to what might be
called disproportionate display of crime news-but
that too is a matter of opinion and is subject to
argument.
Getting down to cases, however what indict-
rnent might be levied against the American press
whole if it could be shown to be suppressing crime
news as the Chicago police suppress crime complaints
We make plea for crime such. 1t fire.
quenty is overpayed. But policy of deliberate sup
preston the part Of newspapers would soon make
fools paradise of the world in which we live.
The people of Chicago wake suddenly to the knowl-
edge that the police have been negligent in report
ing the commission of crime they have been in pre-
venting or Furnishing it.
It doesn't seem possible that Chicago could be
worse than It's citizens thought, yet here is the
proof Surely the country hasn't heard "the half of
it." Better for the sake of public safety and morals
to offend on the side of truth.

A Case In Point

We previously have contended that Interior Secre-
tary Roy O. West is disqualified for his post by
virtue of thirty years of close association with Samuel
insult, power potentate both as business counselor
and investor
The interior secretaryship is entrusted with the
protection of vital public interests in power develop
ment and Vests close friend insult operates on a
national scale to further private interests in this de-
velopment.
On general principles it is bad arrangement to
have West in that cabinet post most directly con-
cerned with power developments, and the news af-
fords concrete illustration of this
Secretary Merrill has recommended to the Federal
Power Commission that company controlled by In
sul be licensed to install large hydro electric plant
at the falls of the Cumberland River in Kentucky
which will dry up the falls except for very small
stream and that another company controlled by him
be authorized to perfect plans to develop the river
for power purposes at other points
This project has aroused sharp hostility on the
ground that it will devastate area noted for scenic
beauty.
It may be that Merrill has worked out plan that
will conserve most of the scenic values and that the
project is an excellent one for the public
That question ultimately will have to be decided,
however, by the Federal Power Commission, and when
it is presented insults close friend and counselor,
West with the secretaries of and agriculture will
be called upon weigh the public interests and the
insult interests in which he is substantial investor
Such an arrangement is inica to good public policy

TT looks as though some of the
Il bright boys we're making out a
pretty good case for Herbert Hoover.
The more they shout that he lacks
a personality, the more one is in
clined to suspect he has one.
If some of the things he can not,
or does not, do are so ALFRED i'm
portant, how did he get through
college on $14; make such name
for himself in the engineering field,
without pull or influence; became a
recognized authority on mining
throughout the world; acquire such
influence that he could rake up the
cash with which to get 10000
American back home from Europe at
the outbreak of the war when no one
else could; carry out the biggest re-
lief program in human history, and
manage our food industry with such
satisfactory results?
If the man is no good as a wise
cracker, as his critics constantly tell
us, if he lacks popular appeal, is
inarticulate and can not express
himself clearly, how did he accom-
plish what he has and land where
he Is?
The only logical explanation is
that he possesse something that the
bright boys have overlooked.
