HOW LONG, OH L0RD?-

WITH the Hutton-St. Pierre case out of
" the way, unless the Iron Man de-
cides to appeal the verdict, a disgusted
public can sit back and await with GER
tainty, some new front page scandal to
emanate from the coasts most famous
evangelistic circle.
No more salacious trial has received
notice in the public prints for many a
day than the one just closed. Newspaper
readers who may wonder why they had
to read the stuff, would be surprised at
the stuff they didn't have to read-which
was kept out of print in respect to pub
lie morals and decency.
The newspapers may be and are critl-
cized for burlesquing the trial and its
principals. Yet one could not treat them
with dignity. They didn't rate it.
That such a case has to be even re-
motely connected with a religious move
ment is to be deplored by all who have
a respect for the sanctity of religion OF
any kind 1t would be bad enough If this
case would end such affairs but that is
too much to expect. We are due for an
other. L - Il 1fxil
