ExcommunicatiOn of the Press.
Cortland Oregonian.)

conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church recently assembled in Indiana, adopted resolution declaring "The American newspaper today is one of the chief enemies of the kingdom of God" This lintolerant denunciaton must, naturally enough be
 given wide publicity fail of it's Scathing purpose. But the parsons knew the press The black sheep
 of letters, they regard it, might confidently be depended upon to print the story and give it appro
 priate headlines. It should carry the news of its own damnation forth to the people. And it did. News editors leaped into action and fashioned the startling summary of that clerical indictment By morning half of America had been told, authority lof the parsons but by agency of journalism, that the American newspaper is anathema. This has somehow the seeming of turning the other cheek.
 It savers too, not little of tolerance. Peculiar, very peculiar, we should call it, in publications
 that are branded enemies of the kingdom. Would
 the parsons themselves have been equal to such an occasion?
 This newspaper may, of course, be mistaken but
 1t believes that perceiyes in the excommunicatory proclamation the visage of bigotry. The oppor-
 tunity for positive Identification however will be
 foregone. Yet cannot but feel that the kingdom of God must be narrowly theological and
 tarian if certain of those that it familiarly have failed to observe that newspapers make for literacy that they the light-bearers, and that whatever their faults, they rather consistently sons, for that matter, wouldn't know what to do
 without them. Those ministerial critics who so emphatic in their damnng of the American newspaper at the Indiana conference would dis lcover their godly ways to be far more wearying and perilous if the newspapers-the reprehensible impous, unregenerate press-ceased to function This gist and the jest of it is that the parsons must know this to be true The newspapers can-
 not be said to be churchly, in point of view nor in |utterance-it would not be newspaper if it were
 but to any reasonable servant in the vineyard it
 should seem the veritabe staff that it is It is the pecuarity of most ministers and we say this with out trace of criticism, that they feel they have editorial gifts also and consider their call to direct and supervise the press scarcely to be less positive than their summons to preach. But we consider it
 fortunate, and we hope this is said without bias,
 that matters should rest as they are.

Alter the Presidents Second Statement

|. the existing gold value of thei1
 currencies. What would be the ef. feet on the. people of the Conti. Inent and upon the currency specu. llators if they saw responsible min listers who had sworn allegiance tt lthe gold standard seriously debat- ing radically new monetary sys- tenn? The effect would be to con-
 vince them that their gold cur rencies were doomed, and that con- viction would in itself immediately drive their currencies off gold.
 It is, therefore, impossible under present conditions to hold the con- ference together for the purpose of exploring the monetary refo r m which the President has in mind ITO think 1t rcan be held together without producing even more seri- ous crises than it has already pro- duced is to misunderstood the ac- tual clements of the situation. ] From the American point of view the most desirable result that might have been obtained here In London would have been to per suade Britain and the sterling bloc to adopt a policy of expansion. The sterling bloc is more than half per suaded. But while the conference is sitting, after the way the issues have been joined, Britain will not and probably cannot take a position which would cause a breach with France and her financial allies Britain has to take into account the political situation on the Con- .tinent. But with the conference ad- journed I think it reasonable to hope that Britain will before long take the path which her dominions and the Scandinavian countries are pressing her to take, and will grad ually move toward expansion. We have, therefore, better chance of achieving our objective by ad- journing that by keeping the con- ference in being.
 AS to the larger reforms, all that can safely be said now is that the Presidents aims are widely sup ported in the sterling bloc. How far they will be adopted in the future will depend upon many considerations, but the foremost among them will be the Presidents ability to translate his ideals into definite project. He is not now prepared to do that, and it will require months of careful study technical preparation the attempt to work out plan. Without such to offer the conference a mere ideal could have no result but to discredit the ideal.

NO TIME FOR DELAY.

There nothing to amaze in President Roose- ves recent statement urging prompt ratification Of the resolution repeating the Eighteenth Amendment AS he pointed out, the Democratic Party in its national platform committed itself unqualifiedly for repeal He formally accepted that platform 100 per cent. More than that in his campaign he strongly advocated repeal That record should have been sufficient to prevent any question as to his present position the issue
 Early this month the Federal treasury announced that about sl1 100000 monthly revenue is coming into it the current fiscal year opens merely from the legalized sale of 32 per cent beer. This is at the rate of than s13O0oO0o0 annually-a re- spectabe sum. And the rate is increasing daily as the output of beer increases and the supply begins to creep upward to meet demand that has swamped the brewers from the day sale became legal
 But this is from beer alone Repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, lifting the ban from wines and spirits and permitting beer of higher alcoholic content, will mean Federal revenue, as MT. Farley recently pointed out, estimated at $1500000000 a year. Compare these figures with the Federal de- ficit last year of $1 ,7500 900 and it can be at once realized how potent argument they are for immediate repeal.
 In this light, the Presidents message to Con- gress public works and unemployment, taxes has special significance. He said:
 Whenever the repeal of the Eighteenth
 Amendment pending before the States
 shall have been ratified and the repeal of
 the Vostead Act effected the pre-Prohibton
 laws would then automatically go
 into effect and yield enough wholly to elim-
 mate these temporary unemployment taxes.
 How any State choose to delay over the process of ratification when these facts and figures clearly show what repeal will do toward reducing deficits and relieving tax burdens for the whole country? On basis of senterest alone leaving out patriotic considerations every State ought to ratify the resolution quickly as its laws will permit. Several States, including Montana, Florida and Utah have not yet fixed days for voting In Missouri and Ohio dry tactics calculated to prevent voting this year if possible It is possible for 37 States to have acted before January 1884 if the pressure of public opinion is brought to bear It is time to demand action for the sake of the taxpayers of tke nation so that benefits be attained without any needless delay whatever.
 In vigorously setting forth his own position and urging prompt ratification. President Roosevelt has again served the nation well.

LONDON, July 6-The Presidents new statement helps to make some what clearer to the conference what are the purposes of his policy and in some measure it mitigates the emotional effects of the state- ment he made on Monday. But 1 1t comes too late to revivify the conference, and 1t lacks practical proposals which the, conference could discuss. Thus, while the American position has been little improved by the statement, it pro- vides no reason for reconsidering the opinion that an adjournment is necessary.
 The form of the adjournment is of secondary importance. What does matter is that 5000 delegates and experts with the spotlight of the worlds press focused upon them should not be held in London at time when they can come to no decisions on the questions that con- cern them most. It would be very dangerous to keep them here. The decision not to stabilize the dollar now is, think, wise de- cision. But the unstabilized dollar produces effects from hour to hour in every market, in every central bank, and in every parliament, which make impossible discussion of monetary and tariff reform. The struggle of the gold countries to remain on gold, and the hesi- tation of the British government between the Americans and the French. preclude any calm exami- nation of plans for the future,
 One might as well ask three men who are swimming the rapids to pause in midstream and make lplans for bridge that ought some day to be built.
 The essential fact is that with the United States refusing to re- value now, with France resisting revaluation, with Britain waiting to see. there is nothing to talk about in London. Even if we had formulated plan for a managed gold standard, which, of course, we haven't, the plan could be discussed only in the abstract. We should be compelled to refuse to discuss the gold value of the managed dol lar which we are proposing to ere ate. Such an abstract discussion might have it's uses were it not for the fact that the abstract dis cussion itself would have enormous practical consequences in the gold countries. They are trying des- perately to maintain confidence in

Child Labor.
(BoSton News Rureaul ]


 The steady march toward elimination of Pro- foil to the far confused status of another cided state of Aux or uncertainty That is the so-called "chid labor" amendment to confer large regulatory or prohibitive powers on the Federal Government
 Inspired by labor union and various social re- formers advocacy it has had very rough road from the beginning. State jealousy of such grant of authority led to only few scattered acceptances and many more rejections Now its prospects ap- pear to have changed in two diverse directions
 Certain objections from other than political quarters partly ecclesiastical as against Federal bureaucratic invasion of 8 wide realm of family well business affairs seem to have diminished materially of late. The obvious need of more em- ployment opportunity for family's adult bread winners has been potent factor in lessening such opposition and enhancing the suggested amend ment's chances.
 Now comes the Industrial Recovery Act witt, its promise of largely solving the situation for at least two years and perhaps permanently. The for bidding of employment of any under Is in the textile industry with its likely extension to coal mining, seems to take of the more serious phases that the reformers had protested. Other codes might well guard against sweatshop abuses At the same time there is steady if slow drift toward more protection and enlightened State leg islation.
 Thus at time when former still opposition to the amendment had softened the apparent need for it has almost vanished. Its earnest advocates are left almost like Othello with occupation gone and the Constitution may be kept from being clut- tered up further

COMMISSION ACTS TO PROTECT
 BUYERS.

Last week the Federal Trade Commission an- nounced the promulgaton of regulations for the list ing of securities offered for sale the public under the Federal Securities Act. Its purpose it an- nounced would be protection of the investing public without handicappng the general business financing That is the goal set up by MT. Roosevelt in his campaign last Fall when he condemned the un- as result of which millions of persons were bilked out of billions of dollars.
 The Federal Securities Act doesn't guarantee buyers of securities from loss. It does however, do away with the old maxim, Let the buyer beware, and substitutes for it. "1et the seller beware" It makes it obligatory upon the seller to stand behind the securities he offers to the investor
 Commenting this new system, the Seattle Business Chronicle recently said:
 Millions of people feeling themselves swndled, cheated and defrauded by purvey- DTS of stocks and bonds acting either con- sciencelessly with poor judgment in ap- praising asset and earning valueS-result the far victims concerned-cried aloud and Congress answered with this Federal Securities Act which dealers now complain will put them out of business
 Pierce Fair and Company one of the larger Pacific Coast investment houses, nounce they will quit, as they have been "legislated out of business" and similar an- nouncements come from others.
 Reading the many protests from security dealers, the point they all make is that they feel they cannot accept the risks involved in having to stand back of all represen- tations made to prospective purchasers Why not? Do not manufacturers stand back of their goods, is not the processer of foods beholden to strict Federal law for his rep resentations as to quality and wholesome ness?
 Federal Securities Act is certainly drastic z; possibly unreasonaby regards those dealers of integrity and unblemished busi
