RADIANF LIVING
LTVING IN SODOM
~ aEY. C. II. GRuTERR
Fssios aselh6dist ohafchs csaiIssn, h

We no less than Lot live ia sodom
He lived there by choice, we Of ne.
cessity. Our Sodom, however, is moi
the old city Of the Plain, but it is that
which the Scripture speaks Of as
"the World"
AS the old city itself, so this sur
rounding Sodom of worldliness with
! ell its godlessness and licencious-
ness, is no place for a spiritual man
OF God, unless in some way he can
be protected from its insidious ap-
peals that surround him on every
hand.
The greatest danger which con-
fronts the spiritual man living in
the surrounding wordliness is that
IN some unguarded moment the influ-
ence of the goddess modern day
migh., like poison gas, seep into
his system and that as a conse-
quence, he might lose his conscious
ness OF spiritual things. Wordliness
quickly dulls the edge of an aware
ness Of the presence Of God.
Although like Lot, we must live in
Sodom, yet, thank God, like Abraham,
we belong to the mountains!
Mountain air is pure and whole
some; how different from that of the
hot goddess city.
While living in this Sodom, we can
not go to the mountains, but we can
bring the mountain air to ourselves,
(that mountain air in which the spir- i
1t thrives) by opening the pages of
Scripture and breathing in its invig-
Orating spiritual atmosphere.
The radiant Christian protects
himself from the charms of Sodom by
placing himself under the influence
If a far greater fascination-thel love

Say to your soul, and say it now:
By the help of God, when l go out
nto Sodom tomorrow, it shall be as
me wha is hid with Christ in God!"

scribed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in effecting consolida-
tons.
The legislation was supported by
railroad management and labor, and
opposed by the waterways interests,
which attacked it as a step toward
sitting competition to aid the rail-
roads.
There is no reason to believe it will
have this effect. The water lines,
previously supervised by the Mari
time Commission, will be subject to
stricter regulation, but the l. c. C. is
under the same compulsion to rec
ognize and preserve the inherent
advantages" of these carriers as it is
those Of railroad and motor operation
when fixing competitive rates, and
can be expected to do so. 1t is rea-
Sonable, too, to expect better rate
structure, when it is the product Of
unified, rather than divided au-
thority. Particularly is this designed
to end disastrous rate wars.
The investigating board, if prop
erly constituted, can also make a
valuable contribution toward i'm
proved transportation. 1t is to go
into the subject of subsidies and
taxation, where the railroads con-
tend they have suffered from dis
elimination that has aided their
competitors, but the study in the
main will be directed toward de-
velopment of a highly integrated
transportation system that would
avoid the wasteful and destructive
practices of the past

Mr.. WiIIkie Speaks Out

Presumably against the advice of
some of his political advisers, Re-
publican Candidate Wendell Willkie
has come out strongly against adop-
ton of the Fish amendment to the
CONSUMPTION bill under which Selec-
tive service would be deferred until
after election day in November
allegedly for the purpose of trying
out voluntary methods of recruiting
soldiers. Mr.. Willkie is to be con-
graduated on demonstrating that
he has a realistic view of the grave
emergency confronting this Nation
and that he has the courage to speak
his mind on subject supposed to
be charged with political dynamite.
He knew, when he issued his succinct
statement against draft delay, that
Republican influence had much to
do with adoption of the Fish amend
ment, palpably device to stall off
action on vital matter of national
defense for selfish political reasons.
Mr.. WILKES fortnight stand on
this issue should point the way for
others Of his party in the House to
support the confereeS on the bill in
their reported inclination to elimi-
nate the sixty-day postponement
proviSo. From all that can be
learned, the House and Senate con-
fereeS are showing a fine sense of
responsibility to the Nation in their
efforts to compose the differences
between the Senate and House con-
Scription bills. If these efforts re-
suit in a -and-take compromise
whereby the Senate agrees to a
higher age limit for draftees and
the House surrenders on the Fish
amendment, the country will have
been the gamer.

Without orderly marketing of sur
pluSes, in which the loan authority
sought for the Export-Import Bank
can be a powerful influence, eco
nomic defense of the Americas be-
comes a lost hope, and when the
economic baStion falls, the political
foundation is in grave peril.
The Importance of expanding
American trade opportunities Is OBJ
vious. The United States, under
President RooSevelt's proposal, would
put up a lot of money on which it
would take a risk of losing at least
part. One compensation for that
risk is the opportunity to enlarge
foreign markets for American goods.
Furthermore, the permanent acqui-
Sition for American exporters of
markets formerly German in Latin
America will serve as a further aid
to hemisphere economic defense by
reducing the opportunities for Nazi
infiltration in the American re-
publicS.

The Keeeh Appointment

The District Commissioners did
not have to go far to find an able
successor to ElWood H. Seal as corpo-
ration counsel. In Richmond B.
keech the District of Columbia has
native son who has demonstrated
beyond question his unusual capaci-
ties as a public servant. He will
bring to his new legal post at the
District Building the rich experience
of decade and a half of outstand-
ing service in the District govern
ment, first as assistant corporation
counsel, then as peoples counsel and,
since 1884, as a member of the Public
Utilities Commission. During all this
time he has shown a keen under
standing of the legal problems Pc
culiar to the District and a fine ap-
probation of the rights of the citi-
zenS in this voteleSs community. AS
peoples counsel, an Office which no
longer exists, he distinguished him.
self as an ardent protector of the
Interests of the people whom he was
designated to represent in utilities
matters. He has proved, withal, that
he believes in fairness toward all
parties to controversy in equity for
corporations as well as individuals
an attribute which has inspired con-
fidence in him among a diversity of
interests. The Districts loss of the
services of Mr.. Seal in the corpora
ton counsel's office will be mitigated
by the transfer of Mr.. Keech to the
vacancy. At the same time, the shift
will make necessary the appointment
of new member of the Public Util-
tiles Commission. 1t is to be hoped
the Commissioners will have as much
success in filling this vacancy as they
did in finding some one to fill Mr..
Seals shoes.

The Thames

From the remoteSt times up to the
present fateful hour it has been an
unwritten principle of history that
action follows the course of moving
perience might be written in terms
of rivers. Egypt was the Nile, Rome
the Tiber. If in recent years it had
been supposed that England no
longer was dependent upon her most
important tidal stream, the German
attacks upon the Thames must serve
as convincing contradiction.
Certainly not the whole motive for
the aerial bombardment of London
is the Nazi wish to destroy the ship
ping of Britain'S main artery to the
Channel. The docks and ware
houses, oil and gasoline storage
tanks, railroad Sidings, needed for
the maintenance of the largest city
of the earth, are detectives which
Hitler might be expected to want to
demolish. More definitely, however,
he has hoped to smash air fields and
munitions factories, OF which there
are numbers in the enVirOnS of the
metropolis. And the assault also
probably has been planned with
some regard for hurting the morale
of the people of the heart Of the
empire.
This consideration, perhaps, might
seem inconsequential if it were not
for the fact that the destiny of the
Thames Valley is so largely involved
with the theology of the British race.
Just as the Seine and Paris always
have been regarded as the center
of France, the town of the legendary
King Lud has been the veritable hub
of all that is England near and far.
Macaulay appreciated this relation
between the mind of a nation and
a focal point for its government.
commerce and culture. 1t was for
that reason that he wrote the famous
lines depicting some traveller from
New Zealand" who shall, in the
midst of a vast solitude, take his
stand on broken arch of London
Bridge" and sketch the ruins of
st. PaulS" Volney entertained a
similar conception, mentioning an
other pilgrim who might weep a
people inurned and their greatness
changed into an empty name"
But the end is not yet, nor is it
assured. Caesar and William of Nor
mandy, the Norsemen and the Danes,
possibly other invaders whose iden-
tity forever is lost, have sought to
conquer "the matchless vale" The
intrepid Dutch once burnt fleet
within sight of the Tower. Napoleon
threatened a total destruction of the
''shopkeepers" for whom he pre-
tended monumental contempt.
Meanwhile, the river flowed as Prior
says:
Serene yet strong, majestic yet
sedate,
Swift without violence, without
terror great"

The Bill of Rights

In stressing the desirability of pre-
serving constitutional methods and
procedures" the House of Delegates
of the American Bar Association
makes the valid and highly impor-
tant point that there should be no
liberation of the use of alleged con-
stitutional rights as "a screen to
hide efforts to undermine our SyS-
tenn" of Government.
AS the delegates to the association
meeting expressed it, only the will
fully blind or the victims of foreign
propaganda" can be, oblivious to the
fact that we are faced with serious
threats to the American way of
life" Nor can it be successfully de-
MED that the traditional American
freedoms of speech, press and assem-
blage have been used to great advan-
tage by the Subverters of democracy.
These espousers of alien doctrines
are skilled in their trade. Well do
they know the value of the Bill of
RightS-not as a shield to protect
the exercise of legitimate rights, but
as an instrument of immunity in the
attempted obliteration of those
rights.
Our immediate problem is to de-
wise some method whereby the basic
American liberties can be main
tanned for the purposes for which
they are intended, while erecting
adequate safeguards to<prevent their
misuse by those enemies of the
American way of life who do not
hesitate to avail themselves of the
protection of the Bill of Rights while
actively striving to encompass it's
destruction.
The problem, admittedly, is a diff
cult and delicate one, and the Amer
lean Bar Association is to be COM
mended for lending its efforts toward
its solution.

Undignified and Untrue

Henry A. Wallace is adding moth
ing to his own stature, nor is he con-
tributing anything toward maintain
ing the presidential campaign on
high plane when he INDUCES in such
demagoguery as that contained in
his address at Weeping Water, Nebr.,
on Monday.
The Democratic vice presidential
candidate oStensibly was seeking to
correct the impression that he had
intended to charge Wendell Willkie
with being an advocate of appease-
ment, but in actuality he merely
seized upon the occasion to give
voice to another and even more pre-
posterous accusation
THE Republican candidate" Mr..
Wallace said, lis not an appeaSer
and not friend of Hitler. I'll say,
too, that every Republican is not an
appeaSer. But you can be sure that
every Nazi, every Hitherto and every
appeaser is Republican"
The charge that every appeaser is
Republican is as undignified as it
IS untrue. 1t is hardly conceivable
that Mr. Wallace believes it himself.
If the Democratic nominee continues
to campaign in this vein, he can
only hope to convince the electorate
that he is wholly unqualified for the
post to which he aSpireS.

StruW Huts

Every now and then some one gets
up on his hind legs and protests
against the sinful waste in America.
The latest outburst along this line is
especially apt, with September Is so
near, as it concerns the fate of dis
carded straw hats. 1t seems that in
stead of being discarded they should
be taken to certain industrial plants.
Straw hats, when treated with va
rious substances may be converted
into fiber board, insulating material.
or explosives.
The idea of turning the straw hat
into fiber board or insulation may
be new, but not its use as an ex-
plosive. 1t has long been a source
of domestic dynamite, reaching its
maximum potency along about the
first week In May, when the vernal
urge causes man to get it out Of its
long winter sleep and try it on. No
husband is ever so much of veteran
that he will learn by experience and
give up this mad idea. His wife
takes one Mortified look, and the
straw hat vote is in the negative.
Regardless of how much he has
cherished it, it is doomed and goes
to the trash collector. From that
point on it's history is obscure; no
one knows what the trash collectors
wife says when he comes home with
his treasure.

New Transportation Bill

Representing nearly three years
study and discussion the Wheeler
Lea bill, which finally has received
congressional approval, should ben
eft materially the transportation
industry.
Born of efforts to solve the peren-
NAL railroad problem" the measure,
which now is ready for the Presi-
dents signature, strengthens the
competitive rate-regulatory structure
by subjecting domestic water car
riers-Great Lakes Zines are ex-
cluded-to the jurisdiction of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
and opens the way, for further CO.
ordination in the ira. Jportation
system of the Nation by the creation
of an independent three-member
board to investigate and make rec
concentrations as to the proper
sphere for each type of carrier, based
on economic operation.
Of lesser Importance are provi-
sions for governmental loans to per-
nit railroads to buy in their own
bonds and reduce fixed charges; IA
cilitating rate changes to meet
competition; eliminating low rates
for Government freight on land
grant railroads, and doing away with
the requirement that the carriers
must follow an Official plan" pre-
