PULSE OF
THE PUBLIC
WRIGHT REPLIES

Editor The Times: c. L. Pc
terson writes in to The Times to
criticise me for pointing out that
Mayor Cain spends a great deal
of time entertaining citizens in
other parts of the state with his
orstory. The writer forgot to add
that | raised the issue of how
could the mayor have so much
sparv time on his hands with
all of the pressing problems at
home calling for his attention. I
would also remind the writer
that city taxpayers have hired
Mr.. Cain at a yearly salary OF
5000 and expect the same de-
voted service for that sum as
any industrial plant would in
hiring a manager Looking at
the mayors administration from
an impersonal standpoint ! can
only see that he has talked and
promised much. but delivered
very little. The mayor has
talked of projects, plans and
schemes for civic improvements
and he has formed committees
which have faded out of the pic
ture as time rolled on. There was
the mayors "20-yesr plan
adequate housing plan, sewer
plan. airport committee and
proposal to rebuild the Narrows
bridge with private capital.
Words. words. words, but no
constructive action. I am not so
interested in what Mr.. Cain says
he is going TO do as ! am in
actual performance. The mayor
did take some action TO raise
garbage rates and he also ad-
vanced the proposition Of sew
or utility whereby citizens would
have had an extra charge on
their light and water bills for
sewer construction. ] happened
to be in the council chambers
the day he advanced the sewer
utility plan and ! offered a pro-
test against assessing citizens in
the low-income groups for sewer
construction and ! also pointed
out that in my opinion citizens
living in districts outside Of the
proposed sewer construction
would not relish paying for
utility which furnished them no
service. Since that time the may
or has brought forth a disguised
plan 10 assess only the districts
served, The mayor is no doubt
privileged TO get all OF the pub
lefty for himself that he can

thing else
But when both criticisms have
been leveled at the preacher. the
fact remains that the people do

Then comes the Advocates
recommendation that Methodist
preachers rad DR.. Fosdick's
new book. Living Under Ten

earnest uttsrsnces Of one Of the
most careful and devout think
ers in the American church.
The Advocate comment con-
cludes with this:

recognized ss one Of the leaders
Of liberal religion and In IN.
minds Of many has been ssso-
ciatsd with a certain doctrinal
debate But in this volume We
come upon a brilliant mind that
couches its ideas in the most
understandable English and the
most gripping phrases"
The world do move. Once
upon q time DIR. Fosdick would
not have been so commended
by a great church paper. A
great deal has happened since
he began preaching in 1908.
Let each man think him
self an act Of God.

And let each try. By great
thoughts and good deeds,

that the very existence Of

Advocate editor, has the pulpit

The presidents discussion of
this subject at n conference last
March was particularly illumi-
mating. in view Of current at
tacks by German submersibles.
Roosevelt's announcement that
our vessels would carry goods
TO the suez canal area precipi-
tated the airing of his views.
In citing precedent for our
right to maintain freedom Of
the seas" which he said we had
abandoned by passage Of the
original neutrality act, the presi-
dent pointed out that we had
fought two ''undeclared wars"
on behalf Of that tradition-the
1Tas conflict with France and
Decatur's punishment of the
Barhary pirates.

were misled by FDRs reference
