ACCUSED OF
AIDING REDS

CHICAGO, Oct. 8 Q.N.S).
Formal charges of "imprudent
and unministerial conduct"
against the Rev. DR.. Harry F.
Ward, president of the American
League Against War and Fascism
and a professor in Union Theo-
logical Seminary, New York, were
on file with the Rock River Con-
ference of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church today.
The Rev. DR.. Rembert G..
Smith, of Pryor, Okla, preferred
the charges yesteday. He alleged
DR.. Ward violated ordination
vows by widespread teachings
which conflict with the constitu-
ton of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and has fomented class
strife in violation of ordination
VOWS "to maintain and set for
ward quietness, peace and love"
among people.
DR.. Smith charged DR.. Ward
GeaCneS tne social or communal
ownership of property" in contra
vention Of his VOWS which bind
him to teach the sanctity of pri-
vate property and to uphold the
Constitution of the United States.
DR.. Ward, he charged, has con-
sorted with and aided such notori-
GUS Communists as Earl Browder,
Ella R. Bloor and Michael Gold.
DR.. Smith said:
"A good many MethOdistS are
disturbed over DR.. Wards viola
ton of the constitution of the
church and his attacks on
American institutions. 1t is a
simple question: Can anyone
embrace Communism or Social
ism and MethOdiSm at the same
time? If MethOdiSts will not de-
fend their own constitution how
can we expect others do defend
the American Constitution"

A CURB

(From The Lynchburg, Va, News
The Constitution, says Stanley Reed,
solicitor general of the United States.
is a living vital institution whose
function is to guide and not to curb
necessary governmental processes.
Just what does Mr.. Reed mean by
that2 Can he mean that when certain
governmental processes are regarded
by the majority in power as necessary,
the Constitution should not be per-
mitted to stand in the way no matter
what its words? What else can he
mean by speaking of the Constitution
as a living, vital institution that was
not intended to curb necessary gov
eminent processes And what are
necessary government processes Who
determines that? The majority in
congress- The Executive2 There is
none other to make the decision in
democracy. But if temporary ma
jority can do what it regards as neces-
sary without regard to the curbs of
the Constitution. what good is a Con-
stitution?
Mr.. Reed is wrong. The Constitution
is a curb. Every Constitution is a
curb That's what a Constitution is
for A Constitution is designed to de-
fine and to limit the powers of gov
eminent and to say what government
can and cannot do. And its greatest
function is to prevent the government
from doing that which 1t should not
do. Its greatest function is to curb
those who would act arbitrarily 1t is
to curb those who would act with
tyranny. 1t is to curb those who would
limit freedom 1t is to curb those who
would deny inherent rights II is to
curb and to check at the start those
who, under plea of necessity, would
take action that is violative Of the
principles of democracy and Of human
freedom. The Constitution guide?
II is guide in the sense that it guides

WHAT WE COULD DO
WITH WAR COSTS

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler of
Columbia University, one of the stanch
est conservatives of the country, spent
little more time recently figuring out
what could have been done with the
wealth spent and destroyed in the
World War. The results are SO as
founding that they could not be credit
ed if told by any radical
Taking the accepted cost of the World
War at 30,OOO,OOD lives and 100000
100000, DIR. Butler finds that with this
money.
Every family in the United States,
Canada, Australia, British Isles France,
Belgium, Germany and Russia could
have been provided with $500 house,
with $1,000 Of furniture, on five-acre
plot of land
Every city of more than 10000 in
habitants in all these countries could
have been provided with a S5,000,000
library and S10000000 university
Out of the balance he says. I'VE
could have still sufficient money which
at 5 per cent would pay for all time a
salary of $1,000 yearly each to 125,00
teachers and another l25,OOO nurses
And he adds that there would still be
enough money left to buy up all the
property Of France and Belgium as they
stood before the war.
1t is stunning, incredible-but true.
Yet DR.. Butler did not point out the
most hopeful and most important les
son of his figures.
The modern world, and any nation
in it, is rich enough, strong enough, and
has resources enough aof men and ma
terials, to do almost anything that it
wants to do--if it will organize itself
for that purpose. If the world could
raise, spend and destroy four hundred
billion dollars to kill men, it could do
as much to save men and make their
lives happy.-Purity Store News.

TODAY'S TAXOGRAM

Cigarette smoking, distinctly
American custom practiced by rich
and poor alike, is one of the most
heavily taxed pleasures in the coun-
try. In some states as much as
$.11 Of the purchase price of sin
gle package of cigarettes goes
straight to the tax collector On
every pack the Federal government
collects six cents and in many states
an additional tax reaching as high
as five cents is levied, a total tax of
S1.10 carton or more than twice as
much as the manufactures receives

pay no income tax at all neverthe-
less pay an annual tax on cigarettes
