The Danish Young Peoples Society
of the Trinity Lutheran church.
Bronx, New York City, is passing
through an ordeal of internal con-
flict. Last week IL members public
ly called an extraordinary meeting to
ask for a vote of no confidence against
the executive committee whose men,
bers, it was implied, did not direct
the affairs of the society in accord
ance with the spirit and the laws of
the society. Among the members call
ing the special meeting is Rev. A. j..

New Pension Plan.
Since 1909 a pension plan for min
listers and their widows has been eff
fective within the Norwegian Luther
an Church of America, but due to
changes in the general economic life
of the country it has been found OBJ
solete now for the reason that the
interest is no longer sufficient to
cover the payments to the 270 bene-
ficiaries at present enjoying pension.
A new plan has, therefore, been
drawn up, according to which each
minister donates to the pension fund
2-b% of his regular salary while
the congregation sets aside an amount
corresponding to S% of the minister's
salary. The plan has been subjected
to a close scrutiny in most of the con-
gregations, and it is reported that
nearly all are in favor of it. 1t will
come up for ratification at the gen
eral convention of the church in 1880.

AN AMERICAN IN LONDON

The fact that R. J. Reynolds, the young American millionaire's son who ran over and killed an English man while motoring along a British road, later made handsome settle ment on the victims widow, doubt less weighed considerably with the jury which found him guilty of man. slaughter and the judge which sen fenced him 10 five months in jail. The young man probably could have been treated somewhat more harshly under the law, but the sentence is quite harsh enough. Many an Amer ican guilty of a somewhat similar accident has been let off altogeth- CT on some spacious technicality.
 The claim may be made that five months in jail to man of extreme wealth is a much harder sentence than a similar term to one whose time is not quite so valuable. Pos sibly that is true, but few judges would admit they are guided by any such considerations
 If young Reynolds serves his full five months he will be a free man after the Christmas holidays The immediate future is a sad one.

BEFORE OR AFTER

There can be no question that it is sensible plan to attempt to get the opinion of the Supreme Court of Er- TOTS on whether it is possible to vali- date the knocked out laws by pass ing one omnibus bill or whether it is necessary to re-enact each law separately.
 If it were possible to obtain the opinion of the Supreme Court state or national-upon the consti- tutionality of legislation before it is enacted much trouble might be avoided. But that isn't done. To de- eide upon the constitutionality or un- constitutionality of laws comes from the supreme courts only upon ap peal by aggrieved parties. It usually is an expensive method, but it hap pens 10 be the way of custom and legal precedent
 Legislative leaders manifestly wish to avoid the possibility of trouble with the minority should all the knocked -out laws be re-enacted separately. This would not only re- quire more time and more expense. but likewise would provide oppor- tunities for the opposition to raise a few ructions over re-enacting some of the laws.

FOR A FAIR TRIAL

It can be said that the unexpect- ed happened in Gastonia. N. C., when Judge M. V. Barnhill granted change of venue to Charlotte.-s cap ital of the adjoining county of Mecklenburg, in the case of the Is men and women charged with the murder of Police Chief Aderholdt on the night of June :.
 The change of venue means that there will not be another Sacco- Nanzetti case, with it's implications of unfairness due to the prejudiced attitude of the community, which would make it impossible to obtain an open minded jury
 The attitude of Judge Barnhill was one to be highly commended to judges who find themselves faced with similar predicament. The judge declared he believed person. ally that a fair trial could be had in Gastonia, but in order to circum- vent possible charges that this had not been achieved, he was perfectly willing to grant the change of venue.
 That attitude, had it been taken in the saccoVanzetti case, would have avoided much that followed. Massa- chusetts is given 10 boosting about it's judiciary system, but in this case at least it has had occasion to learn something from North Carolina.

to be most wary. Representation made by them are often adroit and attractive, and the hoard feels that many of them may be working among the farmers without its knowledge, consequently one Of it's first moves has been to warn farm CTS. through responsible sources. that if they desire 10 gaia the most benefits from cooperative endeavol. they should join recognized organ. ization.
 Expect Easier Sailing
 The business of protecting the farmer most effectively is expected by board members to become easier after the scattered existing associ- ations are more closely amalsama- ted. This is expected to develop after the centralized cooperative marketing corporations have been established and national chamber of cooperative econe mics has been founded.

PROMOTION PLANS
 ANNOY NEW BOARD
Professional Organizers Try to
 Cash in on Farm Study

Washington, Aug. 1 P)-The fed eral farm board has decided on determined stand against "profes- sional promoters" who have been seeking to organize" the farmers for benefits under the agricultural marketing act and believes it has fortified itself so that 1t will not be misled by their representations.
 Like any important commission when it is first inaugurated, the farm board has been swamped with applications for jobs, but the most persistent of these have been in- dividuals, some described as well meaning evangelists" and others as high pressure promoters" who be- lieve they see opportunity for their talents in the newly enacted farm law.
 Shows Promoters Out
 To practically all of the coopera- tive organization promoters, the board "has shown the door, with the declaration that the policy of the commission is to build up exist ing cooperatives. Members of the board are convinced that, through education, close supervision and a friendly helping attitude, extant CO., operatives will be able to demoa- strate their value to the farmers and thus increase their membership.
 The desire of professional pro- moters to organize" farmers is held by the board 10 spring from the knowledge that a great deal of government money is available for loans to cooperatives.
 In another category are the ap- parently large number of well mean- ing individuals who believe they can assist the board by visiting" among the farmers and merely spreading q good will gospel of cooperation-at a fair per diem remuneration.
 The professional promoters are the type Of whom the board intends

DEATH IN THE RESERVOIR

A New Britain youth. losing his hold upon an inflated rubber tube while bathing in Patterson park, on the north shore of Reservoir No. 4. came to his death as more than 100 bathers and people on shore looked on.
 It might be said that there were at least dozen persons In bathing at the time who might have been able to save the youngster. But it is comparatively too easy to come to such a conclusion. The thing has happened so frequently that there must be some good reason why rescues are not always effected in such circumstances.
 In the first place, bathers usually are noisy and do not readily dis tnguish cries of help from the pre-
 
 are distinguished the possibility for rescue depends upon the presence of good swimmers who with coni- dence are justified in making the heroic attempt. It usually is quite useless for person to attempt a rescue in fairly deep water if not able to swim. or lacking the strength to grapple with a person desperately battling for life. It is a great deal easier in such an emergency to fling life preservers or other life-saving equipment to the person threatened with drowning. But these are absent at Patterson park, so far as personal knowledge goes. They are woefully absent on many minor beach in Connecticut Such equipment scattered along the shore in the course of years would save many a life. The hundred or so persons who could not save the life of the struggling New Britain boy probably could easily have thrown such equipment toward him and effected rescue in this manner No beach is complete without such | equipment, which is quite as inn portant as the watchfulness of life l guard.
 Fathers, of course take enormous chances. Only the other day we not cd youth swimming all alone In i the center Of the reservoir. Of course, he was good swimmer, but being all alone in the center of the lake was playing with fate if it sud- denly made it's presence felt in the | form of cramps. Others who are not good swimmers are not happy un- less they are in water up 10 their necks.

Each summer the toll Of the waters vies with, if it does not surpass, the toll incident to foolish autoh. ,bile driving. The annual water to., exist ed long before automobiles were in vented and gives no sign of reduction.
 There is only one way to make a beach safe. and that is to have life saving equipment handy and for the governing authorities to employ beach patrols or life guards.
