Flaming Youth

After all the rantng about The alleged immortality
Of the younger generation it is relief to find that
there are still pedagogues with of fact and
perspective.
DR.. Charles Reynolds Brown, dean emeritus of the
Yale divinity school, in his address at the bacca-
laureate service at Yale university, defended the
sanity of the modern attitude toward SEX
After saying that he had mo sympathy whatever
with this wholesale decrying of the tendencies of
youth" he pointed out what should be very obvious
to all-but apparently is not-that "the young people
are not everything that great and grand and good
neither are they the last of total depravity; they
are mixed like the rest of u.s."
So much for the perspective. And here is Dr.
Browns statement of fact regarding attitudes toward
sex:
There is frank recognition of the physical basis
of life open-eyed acquaintance with that mys-
FERROUS attraction one has for the other which
is not mmodest or immoral. 1t we'll may be far
wholesome in its results than the sham and make
believe which have done so much to make that side
OF life seem unworthy"
The "sham and the make-beeye2 and the unclean
attitude toward the physical basis of life have been
typical of our own and past generations in this coun
try. 1t is not thing of which we should be proud
If the young generation is to be more honest
minded and more clean minded, We should rejoice.
For that is fundamental progress.
With Dr. Brown at Yale appealing for a more
honest attitude toward and DR., Hutchins at the
University of Chicago insisting that the purpose of
a college is not to teach students facts theories
but to think for themselves we are persuaded that
education in the land is looking up.

Mexican Church Peace

Peaceful settlement OF the long and bitter church
state conflict in Mexico should do much to hasten the
unification and reconstruction of that southern
public It is an evidence of the fairness of the Gil
government and Of the patriotism of the Catholic
church in Mexico.
So far as outsiders may Judge the accord, both
sides justified their interpretations that no es-
ssntials have been sacrificed.
That S. the state is not put in the position of
warranted interference with the strictly religious
functions of the church; nor is the church in
stitution to itself above the authority of the state
in non-rengious and political matters.
Whatever may have been the political power and
claims Of the Catholic church in the past in Mexico
acceptance by the Vatican and by the Mexican bishops
of the Gil-Ruz compact is formal recognition that
in Mexico-as in the United States-there must be
complete separation Of church and state in letter and
in spirit.
Archbishop Ruiz saws: As a consequence Of the
statement made by the President the Mexican clergy
will resume religious services pursuant to the laws in
force"
The clergy had refused to comply with the law for
compulsory state registration of priests
Under the accord the Catholic hierarchy is per-
itted to designate priests who to register which
seems Just
While standing by the constitutional prohibition
against RELIGIOUS instruction in schools the govern
nent recognizes the right of the clergy to give such
instruction to adults and children within the church
confines.
Finally the right of Catholics. Of all citizens to

Auto Injured HOSPITALS

EXTHAT worries the state of New
w Jersey is not the increased
number of auto accidents but the
fact that many victims fail to pay
their hospital bills.
Last year New Jersey hospitals
lost something like 100000 through
caring for people who we're injured
in autos, but who forgot to leave
either money or address.
Legislation will be asked to make
accident insurance policies cover
hospital bills, which seems to sum
up the country's attitude toward the
blood sacrifice it is making very
nicely.
Apparently, the best we can think
of with regard to the $4,000 dead
and the 100000 injured, which autos
account for in the United States
each year, is to get a little more
cash.

ject nor suggested any subject, dur
ing that conversation on my own
initiative. I discussed singly, soley
and exclusively with the ambassa-
dor the subject matters about which
he came to talk with me-"
One is glad to take the senator
at his word, to admit that there was
no reason in the world why he
shouldn't give the British ambassa-
dor a courteous ear and to dismiss
all suspicion that the two were con-
niving to take over control Of the
foreign relations between England
and this country.
Still, the senator has not said
what they talked about, and that,
after all. is. the important point.

Hunting Reds

nationwide crusade against reds"
presumably communists who would overthrow
the government by use of force, is launched
with the approval of Senator Watson, Repre-
sentative Will Wood and others in high places
in the old guard organization.
If they can find reds who have planned to
overthrow with bomb and violence the gov
ernment of the United States, they will perform
a very fine service.
But it may be only fair to ask whether
any one has ever seen a red in this state, or
knows of one?
The long row of automobiles before every
factory, the sales of radio to every small homo,
the wide use Of every modern comfort is evil
dence that this is poor soil into which to plant
the seeds of communism.
The danger of this government being over
thrown by communists is about as great as
that the continent will be buried by the next
eruption of Mt Vesuvius This nation is as
far from Russia as it is from Italy, geograph-
ically and politically.
The real menace to the government comes
from an entirely different source.
The real danger is that democracy and self
government will be destroyed by fraud and
corruption.
The indifference of the people to the treason
that is behind a fraudulent election is appalling.
Senator Watson, if he desires to uphold
the integrity Of free institutions, might en-
gage in a crusade to educate the people to the
sanctity of the ballot.
He might, right now, use his powerful in
fuence at Washington to enlist the forces Of
government to press the investigation of
charges of fraud in the Lake county election
and decide whether the agencies of Law are as
Jealous and as intelligent as may be had in
following the charges of fraud, repeating, the
importation of trucks loaded with Negro voters
from Chicago.
Here is a challenge to Americanism that
is definite and specific.
Here is a danger more imminent than that
of deluge of communistic mobs
For fraud can overthrow government of
the people just as surely as ever did an angry
band Of revolutionists 1t is worse.
Making the nation safe from reds is
pleasant gesture. It may be educational in
that it will call attention to the high standard
of living, the theoretical liberty achieved in
this country
Making the nation safe from crookedness
and corruption is the harder task, but more
important Why not start with Lake county?

De PRIEST S. Lest

~ gresham from Chicago, will
give another musical.
The first, which he put on last
Friday night, and to which he in
vited all Republican members OF
congress, appears to leave some
doubt concerning his social status.
Only one congressman was pres
ent, and out of an audience OF 1000
only about a dozen whites.
According to the friends of the
congressman he will demand social
as we'll as official recognition, and
see whether members of the house
practice what they preach"
The congressman hardly needs to
go to the trouble and expense Of
giving another musical to learn the
answer.
