NIGHT RIDERS

Another of those peculiarly hinter- land pastimes came to light in Ohio the other day. when night riders. disliking the way a couple went out riding together. tried to lynch the pair.
 The only objection the mob had was that the alleged morals of the couple did not suit the high moral standard of the mob. So the purifiers dressed up in regalia to hide their identity and tried to commit murder.
 What business was it of the mob what the morals of the couple hap pened to be? The supposition that mobs of fanatics have a moral right to regulate the habits of others seems widespread in the country. especially in the West. where Puri- tanical obscurantism reigns supreme in some districts.
 It is stories of such happenings, sent to Europe, which causes us to be looked upon as barbarians.

X CHARITABLE INSTITUTION

Under the law as 1t is administer ed in Circuit Court at Detroit. a charitable institution is not legally liable for acts of its agents or ser wants. That means that William C. Greatrex, who sued such d hospital for $200,ooo after a nurse had given his baby born there to another per- son, who in turn gave it to passing motorists from Pennsylvania" has no recourse except to start a new trial.
 This is a rather new doctrine. Should it hold in higher and more important court. all hospitals oper- ated by charitable organizations in Michigan, if not elsewhere, would be freed of responsibility for acts due 10 negligence.
 In Connecticut an autoist is liable even to a friend in his car in case of accident due to the autoist's careless ness. The autoist has no defense on the score that he carried a friend without charge and with no idea of profit. Yet that is the basis Of the decision of the Circuit Court judge in Michigan-that the hospital was operated without profit, although it charged for it's services, and there- fore nobody can sue it for negli- gence.

\ RADIO PASTOR

It is said that Dr. $. Parkes Cad man, president of the Federal Coun- cil of Churches of Christ in America, may become the nations first radio pastor. Dr. Cadman. as everyone nominational religious addresses to radio audiences for several seasons, these being put on the air every Sunday afternoon during the winter.
 As virtually everyone also knows Dr. Cadman is an amazing speaker. His diction, fluent and perfect. rolls unceasingly as a purling brook. He must be the envy, if not the model, of countless pastors. if they are human enough to recognize talent in another pastor.
 What touches the ina gination a bit is the statement that Dr. Cad man, SIS a radio parson. would not
 
 compete with regular parsons, No. not at all But sim ply awfully. His talks are said to awaken an inter- est in religion in people who may be deficient in desire 10 attend church; and that unGuestionably may be true. But all the same. there are entirely too many folks who conclude that if they can enjoy an A sermon right at home there is no particular need of going 10 the trouble of attending regular church service. How many of these there are is not known, but that they

PAROLES AND RACkSLIDING

It is distressing to read of youths in the tolls of the law. There have been entirely too many such cases hereabouts lately. Yesterday a pair, one of 19 and the other of 16 years, were chased and shot at before cap tured. when, police say, they admit ted stealing automobiles.
 This in itself is bad enough, but they also had been released on parole from Cheshire reformatory two months ago. Boys are released on parole from tha, institution on the supposition they have been set straight and are likely to grow into useful citizens. Instead of that. this pair are said to admit having stolen five automobiles in two months.
 This is a case of two young men evidently doing their best to throw their lives away. What started them upon such a career? In other words. how did they get that way? Was environment the determining factor? Did bad companions instil the first evil ideas?
 Perhaps their gloomy situation so early in life has been due to a con- bination of all these factors The total of such cases present a problem to society that in spite of our boasted progress and civilization is not being adequately solved,
New Britain herald., 1928-09-27
exist nobody can deny.


 What IS the average minister Eo- ing to do when confronted with such competition? What is he to say when a member of his flock tells him that the radio parson was a whiz and forgets to add compli- ment about the local parson?
 As one successful regular minister said recently. the effect will be that the local fellows must spruce up and make the church services so attractive in every detail that the only thing the radio has to offer in competition-an undeniably fine ad- dress-cannot offset the urge to at tend church anyhow. Then, and then only. will the radio sermons be a help to the local churches.
