Spires of the Spirit
Money 7 roubIe

Money can do SO much that its power
seems like magic wand. 1t can feed
starving millions. It can build factories
and homes. 1t can erect houses of
worship and schools to train youth for
tomorrow's world. With it America has
raised dykes of defense at home and
abroad against the engulf1ng Soviet
Red Sea. In Korea, it has held at bay
the armies of the aliens bent on their
cruel mischief. Money is portable per-
sonality. With it, ones influence can
engirdle the earth. Most of those who
inveigh against it haven't got it. Those
whose pet peeve is money and it's evils
usually have their pockets full of "sour
grapes" instead of the currency they
berate. Emblazoned on the banners of
these sworn enemies of the money evil
is: Money is the root of all evil"
For many years I have known one
against the iniquities and inequalities
of the profit motive" in our social
order, and who has advocated it's elimi-
nation. Yet. while he has been pouring
forth walls of wrath at exploiting
capitalism" and lauding the noble
communistic revolution" he has en-
joyed an excellent living in the shelter
of an institution which capitalism en-
dowed. He is still in eruption in the
comfort of liberal pension from the
same source.
The Supreme Teacher never said that
money is the root of all evil Paul did
declare that the love of money brings
havoc. That is vastly different. That,
to be sure. sets up a warning light
and matches the fundamental insight
OF that One who knew what is in man,
as He uttered His vital precept: "A
mans life consisteth not in the abun-
dance of the things which he possess
seth," that is, the things that can be
purchased with money. In our con-
temporary situation who can deny that
the scandals in business, politics and
sports are nearly all tied up with the
inordinate mania for money-making.
20 Lord" cries John Masefield, "the
sin done for things there's money in!'
Yet there is absolutely nothing in the
parallels of the Great Galilean to in
dicate that He regarded the making
OF money as intrinsically wrong. But
He who had to borrow a coin to illus
trate His truth knew that a penny
can be held SO close to ones eye as
to shut out the sky and obscure the
vast range of things money never can
buy. The point Jesus always stresses
is that there are yearnings and cap
abilities which mere material posses
sions never can satisfy, and that a
man is being deceived by a specious
and tragic bargain if his earnings

New Hoover Commission

With little fanfare or debate Congress has
paved the way for creation of new Hoover
Commission" The alacrity with which both
houses passed legislation calling for renewed
study of Federal operations, but along broader
lines than that of the group headed by former
President Hoover several years ago, was in sharp
contrast with the foot-dragging which marked
the earlier move. Experience had shown that
a thoroughgoing bipartisan study of Govern
ment agencies and procedures could save the
country millions of dollars. There is no reason
why resumption of the inquiry by an equally
competent commission would not be profitable.
The new commission will consist of IL
members-four each to be chosen by the Presi-
dent, the Speaker of the House and the Presi-
dent of the Senate. Its authority will be more
extensive than that of the commission which
recommended and obtained drastic reorganiza-
tion of many departments and agencies during
the past several years. The Hoover Commission
was limited to a study of the then-exiSting
Federal setup, with a view to effecting more
efficiency and economy. It made no recommen-
dations regarding legislation governing Federal
activities. The new group, however, will have
authority not only to suggest consultations and
transfers but to inquire into basic laws under
which Federal agencies have ventured into
competition with private enterprise This would
Authority and the other public power projects
that have been matters of political controversy
Recommendations for legislation to carry out
any reforms proposed would be invited. The
avoWed purpose of this phase of the inquiry is
to bring about withdrawal of the Federal Gov
ernment from activities better handled by State
and local governments or by private industry.
The commission will have less time in which
to do its work than that given the Hoover group.
The new study and report must be completed
by the end of 1854 whereas Mr.. Hoover and
his task forces took about two years to complete
their big job. OF course, the new commission
will have the benefit of the extensive studies
made by it's predecessor. That will be a time
saving advantage enabling it to devote more
attention to new phases of the governmental
reform field. But the new commission will be
hard put to match or exceed the highly pro-
ductive efforts of the 1947 Commission on Or
ganization of the Executive Branch of the
Government.

Red Protestonts'

There can hardly be doubt that J, B.
matthew's, newly appointed staff director of
Senator McCarthy'S investigating subcommittee
had the right to prepare an article attacking
what he describes as Communist infiltration of
the Protestant clergy. There can be equally
little doubt that the American Mercury had
the right to publish such an article They are
as much entitled to the protection of the First
amendment as are those who write from the
opposite point of view.
The real question Is whether Mr. Matthews
article reflects degree of irresponSibility which
should disqualify him for an important position
with a Senate committee. And the committee
should be its own judge of this question.
Mr.. Matthews comedies that sit hardly needs
to be said that the vast majority of Protestant
American clergymen are loyal to the free insti-
tutionS of this country, we'll as loyal to their
solemn trust as ministers of the Gospel" He
also charges however, that "the largest single
group supporting the Communist apparatus in
the United States today is composed of Prot
eStant clergymen," and he says that at least
1000 Protestant clergymen have enlisted as
party memhers fellow travellers, espionage
agents, party-line adherents and unwilling
dupes"
The article does not identify the 1000
clergymen and it does not state how many are
assigned to each of the several categories of
Communist helpers On the other hand, it does
identify a substantial number of individual
clergymen who are accused of some specific
pro-Communist activity. For the most part the
evidence" is drawn from the files of the House
Committee on Un-American Activities the fact
of adherence to groups that have been labeled
as Communist and subversive by the Attorney
General, and similar sources.
1t cannot be said, from reading the article,
that Mr.. Matthews broader conclusions are
justified by the specific cases he cites But it
should not be difficult to establish whether this
is the fact. 1t can be done if Senator McCarthys
subcommittee wants to do it,

The Star Of July 4, 1908, gave notice
of the death of Mrs. Harriet Lane
Johnston at Narragansett
Hornet Lone Pier, R. l., the previous
Johnston evening. She had been
one of the truly great
women of her generation. Beloved
niece and ward of President James
Buchanan. she was his hostess in the
White House. Still earlier, she had
accompanied him to London when he
was Ambassador to the Court of ST.
JameS's and had won by her grace and
charm high place in European society.
Her marriage to Henry Elliott Johnston
of Baltimore brought her great wealth,
and she was noted for her charities
The home she maintained at Eighteenth
and l streets NV. in her later years
was filled with books, pictures and
other treasures which eventually passed
to the Library of Congress, the Smith
sonian Institution and other public
repositories. Mrs. johnson kept her
beauty to the end of her long life The
Star described her in these words
"Robed in black velvet, favorite cos
tune, with her splendid diamonds and
pearls. there were not often seen on
SoAd ONNoS4OAlo q AAIOAC
face and figure" Last Friday the
Smithsonian remembered Mrs johnson
with red and white roses. Her name
also was mentioned with gratitude at
Washington Cathedral, to which she
left the Lane Johnston Building of st.
Adams, the National Cathedral School
for Boys.
In The Star for July g. 1908, there
was published the following statement:

hunted colored man who killed Charles
Robinson about six years ago. Last
week another of the many sure tips
concerning Dorsey's whereabouts was
received and a detective was sent on
the trail. He went to Baltimore ac-
companied by a policeman who had
known Dorsey in hts youngeA days.

and the rescue of the whites from the
Indians. Jack Joyce was the leader
OF the cowboys, and his work was ex-
cellent. During the melee in the
afternoon performance a cavalryman
and an Indian named Yellow Legs COL
llded and the latter was thrown from
MS morse. The remainder of the
performance included a sun dance by
Indians a game of polo by Arabs, an
exhibition of lassoing by the cowboys
and an exhibit Of the wonderful aim
OF Tatlinger. The performance was
concluded with the capture and execu-
ton of horse thief. During the eve

On June 27, 1903, The Star an
nounced the death of Lille Sullivan,
Lille of entomo1opical @i Dsubtt%te' s,h;ects"
SulIIvon in the United States in her
time. She had been en-
artist of distinction in less specialized
field of endeavor, but had been ser
suaded to devote her talents to pictur-
ing insects for the scientific publica-
tions of the Department of Agriculture
as humanitarian vocation and serv-
ice. Appointed under the bureau ad-
ministration of Prof. c. v. Riley in
1880. she was employed in the same ex-
acting work until a few hours before
she suffered fatal stroke of paralysis
at her desk. The Star said: "Her name
has become known throughout the
world, and her drawings are regarded
as models of the best type Of such work.
She was able to draw the insect not
only from the outward appearance of
the model given her but from the init
mate knowledge which she possessed of
the anatomy of almost every species of
insect she was able to reproduce the
bug or beetle as it should be-" When
her career ended she was So years of
age. Her immediate chief at the mo-
ment was Dr. c. L. Marlatt, then acting
head of the chronological Bureau.
Drawings from her pen and paintings
from her brush still are in the achives
of the Agriculture Department. Her
grave Is in Glenwood Cemetery.

what one will see depends upon a
knowledge of history and of affinities
and SensitivitieS that have been cul-
tivated inside the heart and mind. To
one the sight of mouse means an

Some time ago an American journal
made an observation more golden than
gold: 1T is good thing to have money
and the things money can buy. But it
is a good thing to check up once in
while and make sure that you have not
lost the things that money cannot buy"
A deSpicable magician slipped up to

me have the secret of your healing
technique; will pay you for it, any
thing you say; have the money here"

indignation as he cried out: "Thy money

with money. That secret is not to
scorn money but to keep on the
ascending trail far beyond the point
where money loses it's buying power and
commercial counters are an imperti-

The poet, Edwin Markham, tells us
of seeker after wealth who was told
that if he would but wear the shoes
of supremely happy man any wish
he had would be granted. And so
the search began. But each time when
dealing with one whose happiness
seemed complete there was discovered
a fly in the ointment of bliss. At last,
reclining in a sunny field was found
man the wanderer had long sought,
whose cup of happiness was full, as
his being in tune with the infinite

enhancing beauty of the world. You
are the man." cried the seeker for
opulence. Lend me your shoes!"

Dip a large square of cheesecloth in
cold water, or even ice water, wringing
the cloth so there will be no dripping.
Shake the cloth smooth by waving it
in the air. This action leaves the
porus cloth very cold. Now pat the
body lightly with this cold cloth. DO
NOT RUB. This cooling of the body
enables one to gain couple hours of
sleep. Upon waking repeat the action.
The result is surprising. A nurse upon
practising it remarked: IF only had
known this during my hospital days."
A dash of toilet water or rubbing alco-
hol on the cloth gives added refresh
