housekeeping Needed


Suit for the alienation of the af-
fections of his wife were filed by an
Arkansan last week against African
Methodist Episcopal Bishop W. T..
Vernon.
Allegations that New England
Methodist Bishop Joshua Jones had
reported cases of alleged attempts
at bribery in Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania also came to light last
week.
The late Bishop A. J. Carey died
recently without facing charges of
bribery in Chicago courts.
Bishop r. A. Grant of Alabama
is accused in an official organ of
his own denomination, of gross i'm
morality.
Bishop Vernon will doubtless
prove his innocence.
But TIE multiplicity of charges
of misconduct against the leaders of
this church are doing more to wreck
it than any other single force.
Maybe denominations like bus
inesses, have their cycles of peak
and depression. If so, the A. M. Z.
Church is now undergoing a period
of profound depression with men,
bership falling off, finances decreas-
ing, moral and spiritual force at
low ebb.
Two things can happen. The
church can continue down hill until
it wrecks itself. This will take place
when thousands of persons who now
remain in the church for reasons OF
sentiment become convinced that re-
peated scandals indicate the absence
of Christian character. These will
seek peace and PRAYER in other de.
nominations. Whole congregations
NAV withdraw at one time.
The other alternative is that the
General Conference, which meets in
Cleveland in 1882, will put its bish.
ops and general officers on the car.
pet and with Cody judgment turn
the rascals out.
Heroic housecleaning alone car
save this institution, but we must
confess we seriously doubt whether
there is courage enough to do it.

For long have Presidents and near
Presidents names been associated with
Valley Forge where President and Mrs
Hoover paid their respects to Decora-
ton day yesterday, and while George
Washington had not then achieved his
highest honorS in those pitiful days OF
early warfare when he was bivouced
there other Presidents have paid their
respects to the historic spot. In con-
trast to the primitive modes Of travel
Of early days and the rushing speed OF
the automobiles of today was the visit
there of President and Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt when they drove from the
Valley Forge Station TO Valley Forge
Farm in carriage" to attend the
wedding OF Miss Rebekah P. Knox
daughter Of Mr.. Roosevelt's Secretary
Of State, to Mr. James r. Tindle of
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Valley
Forge Farm is still the home OF Mr.
and Mrs. Tindle and there are many re-
n1inders there of their wedding which
was attended not only by the President
and the First Lady of the Land. but by
the entire cabinet and other dignitaries
Of that administration.
The President and Mrs. Hoover re-
turned to the White House last eve
ming and as usual face a busy week.
Among the other groups to be received
by Mrs. Hoover are the newspaper and
publicity writers who form the Women's
National Press Club. body through
whom the outer world must view the
inmates OF the White House. This will
be Mrs. Hoovers first reception to the
club as a whole and it is an event Of
supreme Importance in their yearly
program. Mrs. Hoover. will be the
ruest OF the District Federation Of
Women's Club at their luncheon at the
Mayfiower, May 10, and many other
engagements with womsnkind await
her before she and the President may
declare a vacation.

Vision Is made for feeding those cows which
are being used by the Hindus for milking and
work cattle. The cruelty visited on COWS. bulls
and other dumb animals in India SURPRISES the
imagination IL the accounts are true.
It is sin for a Hindu to MAIN or torture
q bull in ways which would never oc-
to Americans or Europeans 1t is no sin
to work them beyond endurance SO that they
drop dead I'm their tracks. It Is sin to starve
them. 1t Is just . terrible sin for . FIindu to
KIN them outright, quickly and directly.
Just how deeply ingrained this idea is 10
shown by the fierce political debates which
Fage IN the Indian Legislature when it is at
tempted TO pass any bin preventing cruelty to
animals, particularly one which would a1low
the shooting Of diseased animals.
Genaai who is q pretty shrewd politician,
has often been troubled about the treatment
given to cows In India. but he must choose 1as
words carefully IN any discussion Of the subject.
At one time, he cautiously, tcntativeIy half
approved the killing OF mad dogs and learned
how the murmurings OF the multitude could
turn against him. In stiIl another instance. 1t
was learned that an ailiag calf IN Gandhi'S own
establishment had been put to death at the
leaders orders, and the prestige lost by Mr..
Gandhi was not uncomfortable.
Gandhi has been able to unite many Of the
MofammedanS with the Hindus in demand
for Independence from Great Britain and has
been able to uueN some of the riots between
them by going on fasts and hunger strikes until
they cease their fighting
Yet many MoilammedanS are apprehensive
OF the part that they. as a minority party may
play in Indian politics when swaraj (hame
ruie) becomes an established fact
