the close Of discussion concerning a
matter in which we were commonly
interested. he spoke Of his long con-
tinued indifference to the appeal Of
the church. He was intensely sincere,
and observed that his growing children
were beginning to ask him questions
concerning his unresponsiveness to the
church's appeal. Going with their
mother week by week to the church
of their preference, they were asking
him why he commended the practice
to them while he consistently ignored
it. What do you think have lost
by reason Of my indifference to the
religious appeal?" he asked. We re-
sponded by suggesting that there was
another way of looking at the matter.
What do you think the church has
lost by reason Of your protracted alb
sence, and what do you think has been
the effect of your indifference upon
those who hold you, especially the
youth, in high esteem?" He quickly
responded that this had not occurred
to him and that he believed In the
church as an institution and felt that
its influence was indispensable to the
individual, and society in general. Il
shall resume my relations with 1t i'm
mediately," he added. He realized
with readiness that an organized body
designed for the common good could
not exist without an organization In
which every member played his con-
sistent part.
If we are to transmit to our chill
dren and to those who follow us a
society whose high purpose is the bet
terment and enrichment OF human
society, in Iine, If the church as an
organization is TO render the whole
some service for which it is designed,
it must have its organization as well
as its recognized place in our thinking
and practice. We have reached the
stage in our modern life where, IN
certain places, an open and violent
attack is being made upon this an
cient institution. The very validity
of its worth and work is being chal-
lenged. While we Of America believe
that what the church stands for is
indispensable to wholesome living and
that it is an essential factor in pre-
serving to Us those elements that
contribute to decency in our individual
and corporate life, many of us are
treating 1t with scant consideration
and in doing so are threatening its
security and permanence.
The household Of God" II 1t Is to
continue to be what its divine Founder
designed, must be maintained by those
who consistently exemplify its pre-
ceptS and principles.

Love of Home.

The depression, it is said, has made
people home conscious. In more pros
porous times folks have too many out
side interests to be properly mindful
Of domestic comforts and pleasures
they prefer to be ION the co." seeing
things and doing things, spending
time and money in the pursuit Of q
noisy, extravagant, hysterical shadow
Of happiness. Then comes an eco
nomic slump and under the compul-
sion of its dictation men and women
rediscover the joys Of their own fire.
sides and the luxury Of each others
company. Perhaps there never was a
period when the multitudes were more
deeply concerned about homes.
And even If the vast enterprises
planned and underway by the Govern
ment had not been launched there
would have been great development
of home-consciousness. A depression is
a threat to the family, and natural
reaction to any such peril is an in
tensiication OF resistance in the mind
and in the heart. One Of the durable
results Of the troubles and trials Of
humanity during these years of stress
and struggle will be a new evaluation
Of home in all that the word means
a renaissance Of the home-making and
the demonstrating spirit which
once was an outstanding characteristic
of American civilization.
A symptom Of the trend Is the Bet
ter Homes Exhibition now going on at
Washington Auditorium. The show
has drawn crowds-deservedly so,
since its attraction is fundamental.

The Rising Toll.

The rising mortality toll from auto
mobile accidents is fact about which
thoughtful people must be vastly dis
turbed. A report from the National
Safety Council, Chicago, shows that
October witnessed greater number of
fatal mishaps than any previous
month since records first were kept.
The total count for the thirty-one
days was three thousand five hundred
and sixty deaths. BY way of explana-
ton the Council cites Increased
travel, increased drunken driving and
increased speeds" and sidelight is
thrown on the problem by supple
mentary statement to the effect that
drunken driving arrests have risen ''at
least fifty per cent" in many of the
leading cities Of the country.
But it is useless to argue the reasons
for the slaughter of the highways.
Pedestrians, in any case, are tired Of
academic discussion. Time was when
there was no special risk in walking
a city street or a rural road, but that
time has passed and the average
pedestrian now has adopted fatal
istic attitude concerning his rights on
public thoroughfares. He no longer
expects much consideration at the
hands of motorists; he is learning that
he must watch out for himself. take
care of himself. and that if he fails to
do that, he can hope for scant mercy.
The responsibility which originally
was the drivers has been tossed back
to the walker. And woe be to the in
dividual who does not realize the cir
cumstance.
Certainly, there still are pedestrians
who resent the loss Of their freedom of
movement. To these, it Is an insup-
portable aggravation that the automo-
bile should so dominate traffic. But
there is little efficiency in protest,
especially when it awakens little SYM
pathy from the authorities. Unless
people are willing to connive at
their own destruction, they must sub
nit to conditions as they are and use
the streets and the roads only with
inordinate caution. The alternative
is injury or death.
AS for the motoring portion Of the
community, it would seem that present
trends eventually will force revision Of
the bad driving manners, the fool
hardness and the speed mania which
have made the automobile menace to
all parties. Perhaps the surrender Of
the pedestrian to his fate will con-
tribute to the solution Of the difficulty.
Motorists, sober as well as drunk, have
wanted the highways for themselves.
When their greed has been accommo-
dated it may happen that they will
take cognizance Of their own short
comings. Hitherto they have been so
busy complaining about walkers that
they have had no leisure to consider
the faults Of drivers and riders.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
A WET CHANGES HIS MIND

To The Christian Science Monitor:
Tn q communication to the Boston Herald dated
October 4 and published October Brooklne
CORRESPONDENT states in article entitled Liquor

talked it, believed it. But today am convinced
that I was wrong and am willing to admit my
error. It's not reformer speaking. L nave

from NV own conversations with friends, others
are with me-"
Women and girls are reaeting to the hquor
propasanda lust as they did to the cigarette
propaganda after the war, and if they keep on
as they have started with their cocktail parties
thew will soon be more drunken than men just as
thew have become more Incorporate tobacco users
than men. Those who brought about repeal with
the slogan Liberty and liquor control have mis-
led them by propaganda designed to deceive, cir
culated for selfish purposes and not for the gooa
of all the people There is no such thing as con-
troll of the liquor traffic and there never has been
in any country at any time under any law.
Repeal has not stopped bootlegging. Many wets'
no longer quibbling about hypocrisy, are buying
their favorite brands from the same old bootleg
DER thew patronzed in the days before repeal be-
cause it is cheaper.
Repeal has not stopped dstilling and moonshine
LIQUOR. 1t has not done away with the old-tme
bar and speakeasy. Before repeal the vets de-
clared "Of course we will never again tolerate
the open saloon" After repeal large numbers of
them opened saloons, public and private, them
selves Who has heard a wet, since repeal, say
the saloon must go; and who ever heard wet,
before repeal, say he favored the open saloon?
Repeal has caused great increase in liquor
consumption. Any law that does this is bad law.
1t has caused alarming increase in automobile
accidents because of drunken driving Drunken
ness has increased greatly among women Thirty
three per cent more women were arrested for
drunkenness in Boston during eight months under
repeal than in the corresponding period under pro-
hibition.
Repeal benefits the liquor dealer only. A change
of law does not alter the habits of men. The mil
lennium is not established that way. Many are
becoming disguised with the thoughtless, propa-
ganda-infuenced, cocktail female of the species
notwithstanding she is worse than the male.

AMERICAN HOMES BEST

The advantages enjoyed by the average Ameri-
can citizen are more impressive to B. G. Forbes,
the well-known American writer on business sub
jects, whenever he visits Europe. He was born
in Scotland and he knows his way about in Eu-
rope He has just returned from abroad with some
interesting conclusions directly in favor of our
home conditions.
Telephones are rare, and newspapers do not
have the wide circulation they have here, where
they are regarded as a necessity in the average
home. In typical English boarding house he Wis
tied he found only one ordinary workman wearing
spotless shirt, collar and tie, and that workman
was an American.
Furthermore, Mr.. Forbes reports that he found
virtually washing machines, another American
device which has become so widely adopted in this
country that its absence in the average home is
likely to be matter of comment by any visitor.
The living standards of the average European
family are so much lower than the average Ameri-
can family that the contrast is remarkable Mr..
Forbes points out that anyone who goes into the
home of the average European and observes its
great lack of such equipment as is common in
America to ease the burden of the housewife and
to make living simpler and more economical, be-
comes thankful that he lives in the United States
instead of Europe-Monroe Enquirer.

WHO'S THE MAN?

Several hours after the foregoing editorial was
written, the News-Argus received word that the
Wilmington newspapers were going to support edi-
torially as successor to Mr. Jeffress, Mr.. John A.
Park, publisher of the Raleigh Times.
Although the endless energy and infinite en-
thusiasm of Mr.. Park are we'll known to us, we
hesitate to rush with "me too to this endorse
ment of the Wilmington papers.
Perhaps it is because we feel that honest news
paper men have business in positions which
suffer in even minor degree from political en-
tanglements. Possibly it is because we have seen
the daily papers of Greensboro suffering through
years for the absence of Mr.. Jetfress and we Won
der who will keep the Raleigh Times going under
difficult conditions, if Mr.. Park leaves.
Or it may be that underestimate what has
been many times proven-that newspaper ex-
perienee tends to develop in many men that adap-
liability and ability to learn which make for sue
cess in new positions.
We have personal liking for Mr.. Park and
have enjoyed his company more than once. But
we shall wait before we indorse him to see what
other men may be suggested as most nearly able
to continue along the roads we'll laid out by
