But the bar association meeting OF

THE PLACE OF WORSHIP
RIGHT JAMES E FREEMAN, d, D, d. C. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON

That worship in some form is uni
versal, and that 1t constitutes an essen
tial element in life is conspicuous in
human history. Darwin found 1t In his
Patagonian savage. The most savage
and untutored Of the races Of mankind
have had their religious practices. From
the totem pole and the most barbaric
rites to a refined or esthetic ritual,
man seeks to give satisfaction to the
deeper yearnings OF his spirit. He has
invented no substitute for worship. The
ignorant and the highly intelligent alike
find in the practice Of religion that
which satisfies. Napoleon could not
conceive of an enduring empire where
religious practice was neglected. On an
occasion he asked: How can you have
order in the state without religion?"
Speaking to a group Of Harvard stu
dents on the subject of Business and
Religion" the dean Of the Graduate
School of Business Administration said:
"The historic foundations Of our ma
tional life are largely rooted in the
religions, interests and beliefs OF the
old New England community" and he
concurred in Lord Bryce's observation,
where he queried as to what would be
our community II the foundations Of
religion should be completely swept away
or weakened?"
In the present confused state OF mind,
where we are seeking to find way out
Of our difficulties, we are employing
many and new methods to restore order
and to set our feet on the road to pros
perity. In such q complex situation as
we now face can the secularist, the
economist or the politician discount or
ignore the essential place that religion
occupies In a well ordered scheme OF
life?
Religious freedom In our land Is q
part OF our fundamental law. but re-
ligious freedom. broad as are its impli-
cations, does not mean that the State
commends the abandonment Of religious
practice. Rather. 1t implies larger

No More Park Car w ashing,

An order just issued by Assistant eec-
retary Chapman Of the Department Of
the Interior prohibits the washing,
cleaning, polishing, lubricating, repair
Ing or performing Of any mechanical
work upon any vehicles within the park
system" Of the District OF Columbia. This
order will put an end to practice that
has grown up during recent years and
has become one of the most conspicuous
features Of Rock Greek Park in par
ticular, especially on Sundays. That
park, with its flowing stream, offers espe-
cial advantages for car laundering and
many hundreds have taken advantage
of it weekly.
Rock Creek Park was established for
the pleasure Of the people and was not
intended as the scene Of domestic duties.
If the washing and polishing of cars
within the park is permissible there is
no reason why household linen should
not be cleaned In the waters Of the

freedom as to the form the expression
Of religion may take.
In a memorable conversation that
Jesus had with an unknown woman of
Samaria they discussed the question
as to the precise place where worship
should find its center. The woman
afnrmed: Our fathers worshiped in
this mountain; and Ye say that in
Jerusalem is the place where men ought
to worship" To her, locality occupied
large place in a consistent devotional
practice. Swift came the Masters reply
as He rebuked her for the narrowness
of her Interpretation: "Ye worship ye
know not what. The hour cometh, and
now Is, when the true worshipers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in
truth: For the Father seeketh such to
worship Him."
Here Jesus not only emphasizes the
essential place that worship occupies in
the scheme Of life, but the larger sphere
in which 1t may find its exercise. Here,
surely. is definition Of the broad scope
OF religious practice. 1t is limitless as
to Its place Of expression, 1t reaches out
to the remotest boundaries OF human
experience. 1t makes hallowed and
sacred every place Wnere men reVerently
acknowledge their obligations to God.
1t suggests the comradeship Of all those
who in sincerity worship the Father in
spirit and in truth. Is there not a sum-
mons here that our troubled age needs?
Can we not find in our worship not
only that which refreshes and stimu-
lates us, as individuals. but that which
binds us together in the strong ties Of
community fellowship.
A religious habit Of life that Is real
and sincere is indispensable to our larg-
est happiness and the security of those
things that We most cherish. To give
worship its consistent place in our life
is more than the indulgence OF indi-
vidual tastes or conceits; 1t is the finer
expression Of our fellowship in Him
who declared the universal brotherhood
of all mankind,

No Politics?

The President declared personal
moratorium. on politics" before he left
for his inspection trip through the
drought States. There are two distinct
dictionary definitions of politics"
Politics is the administration Of public
affairs in the interest of the peace, pros
perity and safety of the state. Politics
Is also the administration Of public
affairs or the conduct of political mat
ters so as to carry elections and secure
public Offices. 1t was the latter sort
of politics that the President meant to
eschew when he started on his trip. AS
he progresses from one talk with the
farmers to another the difficulty OF
maintaining a non-political pose, in the
sense of the latter definition, becomes
apparent.
When the President tells rear-plat-
form audience that Il understood there
are some people that are not in favor
Of planning ahead, believe there are
some people that say 1t isn't worth
spending money to save money" the
President is engaging in the sort Of
politics intended to influence voters. He
does not, unfortunately, name the per-
sons who are not in favor of planning
or who are opposed to spending money
to save money. 1t would be hard to
name anybody so short-sighted. But
the President intimates. of course, that
1t must be the other fellow.
AS a matter of fact, it is impossible
for the President, no matter how noble
his intentions may be. to shut politics
out of his trip. What he is doing Is
good politics and he knows it as we'll as
anybody else He is showing himself to
the farmers in section Of the country
that has been visited by one plague after
another and is promising to do some
thing about 1t. He is the President who
bought their cattle and saved great
many Of them from ruination in the
last drought, and here he comes again
to engage in a drought war to end all
droughts. BY moving pictures. by COL
ored maps and by the study of available
statistics gathered by the experts, he
could probably learn more about the
drought problem in few hours in his
White House study than by all the
days he will spend talking to farmers
and viewing the scenery from his car
window. The thing that would be lack
ing, however would be the personal con-
facts of his trip. And such contacts are
good politics.
Joshualike, the President may COM
mand the political sun to stand still
while he finishes the battle of the
drought. But, unlike Joshua, he cannot
quite hope to achieve this particular
miracle. Accompanying him has been
a sweet rain from long-absent clouds,
and before his coming and after his
leaving there was and will continue to
be a sweet rain Of checks from Wash
ington. There can be no better politics
and the President, an able politician,
knows it.

in State with % electoral votes. That,
in fact, is the reported intent OF Big
Bill" who has q deep-seated grudge
against the Republican Chicago Tribune
which he thinks he can settle in this
way.
So appraising Of the Lemke candi-
dacy is taking the following form:
Popular interest, so far as politicians
can Judge, is less apparent for the Union
party candidate than it was for the
candidacy Of Senator La Toilette. who
was able to carry only one State in 1924.
Much OF the Lemke support is con-
centrated in Northwest farm States, pos
sessing relatively few electoral votes.
Even this support, so far as it depends
on the alliance Of Coughlin and Smith
and Townsend, may be badly divided
by possible breakup Of the alliance
In the weeks ahead. It Is held together
now by o deep common animosity to-
ward Mr. Roosevelt.
In Illinois, where the third party
movement was taken over by shrewd
maverick Republicans, the effect Is most
likely to be injurious to Gov. Landon
rather than 70 President Roosevelt.

Crime and the Press.

The American Bar Association surely
Is within its rights if it chooses to criti-
cize certain types of publicity. No one
will question the justice Of complaint
against deliberate and conscious eXag-
geration of crime news Should the
organized lawyers Of the United States
desire to receive reports or pass resolu-
tions condemning specific individuals
and institutions for specific faults of
whatever kind, their privilege so to do
will remain unchallenged. But intelI-
gent discrimination should be made.
For example, the newspapers Of New
York dealt with the Snyder-Gray case
Of 1929 according to their own particular
conceptions and patterns Of journalism.
Some realized the potentialities Of the
sordid story and capitalized upon them
to the limit; others, equally aware Of It's
ugly character, were scrupulously care
ful not to commercialize its details. Yet
later, long after the execution Of the
murderers, writer who should have
known better drew up a blanket indict-
ment in which he vilified the metropoli-
tan press as a whole-as though he be-
lieved that all the different papers were
owned and managed by an identic group
Of publishers and editors Such tactics
patiently are unfair, and the same obser-
vation may be suggested with regard to
the finding of the bar associations spe-
cial committee: I'VE must not have
two trials, one in court and one outside.
The system of the public press arguing
the case outside of the report il funda-

washerwomen Of some countries in
Europe and elsewhere.
Undoubtedly many Of those who have
enjoyed this self-assumed privilege in
the past have gone to the park for picnic
purposes on Sunday, engaging in car
cleaning incidentally. That. however,
does not lessen the nuisance incident
to the use of the side spaces along the
roads bordering the creek for the scrub
bing and polishing of motor vehicles.
In all likelihood the great majority
Of those who use the park as car
laundry have no garages in which to
keep their machines and in which to
refurbish them. This is known to be
true in the case of many thousands of
washington car owners who use the
streets for their overnight parking,
a practice which in itself is a trespass
upon the public spaces provided for
trafic.
From year to year the traffic problem
has grown In dif1iculty and periodically
efforts are made to solve 1t, but without
success, chiefly because Of this very
matter Of the lack of proper storage
places of the streets for the parking
and care Of cars both during business
hours downtown and at other hours In
the residence sections. However this
problem may be solved eventually, the
clearance of the park spaces Of car
launderers Is in the direction of a more
orderly use Of the areas set aside for
public recreation and pleasure.
