PREACHING AND PREACHING

Diminution of the potency OF the
American pulpit as force which
molds the lives of the people of the
nation is quite widely charged. And
it seems to us that the presidents
council of the Seventh Day Adventist
church spoke with considerable per-
tinency when it said that among the
influences responsible for the break
down of respect for the ministry
are "a tendency to use joke books
in the pulpit in place of the Bible,
shallow and superficial preaching. eff
forts to initiate popular preachers and
story telling in place of preaching
from the gospel"
There is a vast difference between
preaching religion and preaching
about religion. A man who goes into
the pulpit and talks like column

string of more or less pathetic or
impressive anecdotes, may be a good
entertainer. and may do certain
amount of good In the world. but

light upon these problems and bring

To Organize New Fields.

10 OTSdulZc NcW lcluSs
And here is how the League for
Independent Political Action proposes
to aid in the building up of a new
political party:
"The League will rapidly push for
ward to create state committees look
ing forward to state parties in those
commonwealth where no vital third
party movement now exists. We shall
continue to organize branches in
cities all over the country and ask
for the cooperation of all our mem
bers in stimulating this program. We
expect to stress more than ever our
educational objective. Voters must
have the facts if they are to be
awakened"
"Lame Ducks" i'm Session.
Congress is again in session. This
is the sO-called short session which
will expire on March 4, next. Many
congressman who were defeated for
reelection on November 4, will con-
tinue to function and make laws for
the country up until the expiration of
their terms.
To remedy this evil there is before
congress at the present session the So
called Norris 'lame-duck" cOnstitu-
tional amendment The amendment
has passed the senate and is now be-
fore the house. If it should be SUBJ
mitted by the present congress to the
| legislatures for ratification and be-
come part of the constitution it will
mean an end of legislation by de-
feated representatives and senators.
Due to the fact that so many reac-
tionaries fell by the wayside, there is
disposition on the part of Repub-
lican leaders in the house who have
INSTRUCTED progressive legislative pro-
posals to compromise on some of the
more important proposals. Among
these measures the outstanding one
is, of course, the Norris bill for gov
eminent operation of the huge Muscle
Shoals hydro-electric project. This
bill passed congress two years ago
and was then vetoed by President
Coolidge. 1t again passed the senate
at the last session and is now before
the house.
President Hoover has all but stated
that he will veto the bill if it becomes
law, but there is a chance that as q
matter of political self-preservatioT
he will now sign the bill if it should
be put up to him for his approval.

GAIN
MOST SIGNIFICANT
Executive Secretary of Independent
Political Action League, Who Cam
paigned for Farmer.LabOr Ticket
Voices Such in Comparison with
National Democratic Drift.
BY H. G.. TEIGAN

Howard Y. Williams, executive Sec
rotary of the League for Independent
Political Action, who campaigned in
Minnesota in behalf of the Farmer
Labor ticket during the recent cam
paign, has published a report on his
experiences and conclusions as 10
what the election results imply.
Mr.. Williams expresses the view
that the election of Floyd B. Olson
and Henry Arens to the governorshlp
and lieutenant governorship, respec-
lively, in the state of Minnesota, is OF
much greater significance than the
Democratic landslide which took
place in the country generally.
more significant than the Demo-
cratic landslide in the recent cleo
tions was the victory of a Farmer
Labor governor in Minnesota and a
steady gain for third party candidates
elsewhere" he says. with a Farm
er-Labor governor, lieutenant-gover-
nor, and with half of her state legis-
lature progressive, Minnesota is go
ing to demonstrate in the next two
years how government can be used
creatively for the benefit of the peo-
pie. After an educational program OF
is years, Minnesota progressives are
going to have a real chance to do con-
structive work."
Big Gains in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Williams also notes the adj
vance that was made by third party
candidates in other parts of the coun-
try as in Milwaukee, where the So
cialists were successful in treblins
their representation in the state leg,
islature and came within few votes
of electing two congressman. Sim
liar success was attained by the
Socialists in Reading, Pa, where the
entire city government is in theil
hands. Two members of the state
legislature were chosen in the dis
trict which includes the city of Read
ing.
The League for Independent Pc
litical Action is committed to tn
third party idea, or more correctly t.
independent political action for tn
progressives of the nation. TIL
League itself does not pretend to b
political party but is organized t
coordinate the activities of the sew
eral third parties existing in tn
country and to bring them togethe
into a unified national political part!

THE COMING FOURTH

The Fourth of July will soon
be here. And. according to the
precedent set in other years, it
will leave behind q toll of de
stroyed lives and property due
to carelessness with fireworks.
Fireworks, except when used
under proper conditions by ex
perts, are = great Gre hazard.
Blindness. lockjaw. mangled
limbs. fatal clothing burns, prop
erty damage and crippled bodies
have always followed Fourth of
July celebrations.
Many cities, and q few states,
have prohibited the use of fire
works except 10 supervised pub
lie displays under permit from
the proper authorities. 1t is IN
fortunate that our time-honored
manner of enjoying the Fourth
must be restricted-but condi
tions in our modern crowded
cities are such that to promis
cuously allow the use of fire
works is to court injury. death
and destruction of property.
Children, especially, are en-.
dangered. Not a single Fourth
has passed without . tragic
waste of young lives throughout
the country.
Make the Fourth safe and
sane" And when fireworks are
used every possible precaution
should be taken to guard against
misadventure.
