(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Penitence and Prayer Twenty-six religious denomina- tions Sunday will begin a period of penitence and prayer in the belief that “the root of the present distress confronting the nation and the world is moral and spiritual and that what is most needed is a national turning to God in repentance and moral res- titution.” The quotation is from a bulletin of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in America. ‘The materialist may scoff at the power of prayer and penance as they have done at all times and in all ages, but the average thinking man and woman will see merit in the pro- posal, for there is power in both prayer and penance. For crises such as that through which we now are passing are solved quite as much by individual as by united action. The theory of the old gospel hymn, “Brighten the Corner Where You Are,” holds particularly true when the need is for stout hearts and devoted minds. Hark to the analysis of our pres- ent situation as presented by these church leaders: “The church and the nation face a grave and serious situation. There is on every hand physical and mental suffering. This con- dition has long continued and no | One can point the way of escape. Our best men are powerless be- fore the devastating effects of commercial distrust and moral ; confusion. While we long for the . return of prosperity, we pray rather for the correction of those causes of distress without which . Prosperity may prove to be other than a blessing. “We have worshipped at the shrines of false gods—the false gods of mammon, money, things; the false god of power, produc- tion, bigness; the false god of nationalism, individualism, so- cial injustice; the false god of pleasure, amusement, disregard for things sacred; the false god of success, high living, careless thinking; the false god of magic, reaping where we had not sowed, profiting where we had not toiled ...” If all who have been guilty of the offenses listed and implied partici- pate, a period of prayer and penance might do much to improve condi- tions. To the poor and oppressed it might bring new spiritual stimulus and the tpower to carry on under adverse con- ditions, to those so situated that they jean help their fellow man but who hhave failed to do so, it may bring jmew vision and realization of the op- portunities offered them in the name of humanity. * If it does nothing else, prayer and ‘Penance will make the man who *practices them think. To give sober consideration to the part which each jof us plays in the present scheme jmeans that each of us would appre- ciate more thoroughly the obliga- *tions and opportunities which we face ‘as individuals. John Sharp Williams was a scholar ‘and a southern gentleman of the old ‘When in the United States ; A Southern Gentleman * Woodrow Wilson had no better de- ‘fender for the League of Nations! jthan Senator Williams. At the fam- /ous Baltimore convention he was a that famous valedictory: “I'd rather be a hound dog and/| bay at the moon from my Mississippi plantation than remain in the United States senate.” The ‘Buy Now’ Movement Ono of the most encouraging signs for business recovery is the “Buy Now” movement which is gaining many adherents among businessmen. the bottom which we apparently have reached, numerous “buy now” efforts were launched and, in the main, they Proved abortive. They failed because the plea was based on the interests of the seller rather than of the pur- chaser. In time, such efforts ceased. They probably served a good purpose but they could not combat the oppo- sition of constantly falling prices. The “buy now” movement to which reference is made here is not based on pleas or propaganda but on the much more powerful law of self-, Preservation. It finds root in the fact that prices, after their long ride on the business toboggan, have begun to go uphill. For several weeks past the indices of prices have shown small but per- ‘sistent gains. To be sure the gains have not been excessive but they have indicated a definite trend and the wise merchant has taken heed. Everywhere inventories are down. With the possibility that the value of stocks on hand would be diminished by recurring declines, the cautious wholesaler, jobber and merchant kept his supplies on hand to the smallest Possible figure. The same thing was true of the retail customer. No one wanted to buy an article for $5 if there was the prospect that he could buy it a week later for $4. But with wholesale prices beginning to advance, self-interest dictates a change in policy. No one now wants to defer buying for $4 what may cost him $4.50 or $5 a week hence. Sta- bilization of prices at low figures and the upward tendency eliminates the necessity for carrying low inventories. The man who lays in @ reasonable stock now at low prices may find him- self in a way to realize handsome profits if the upward trend continues. The Political Middleman One of the difficulties of any po- litical campaign is that of ascertain- ing what a candidate for high office thinks on any given subject. The rule is for the candidates themselves to use carefully guarded words which may be interpreted in any way the listener desires. Fol- lowing that he keeps his mouth shut while his supporters fare forth on| the hustings to give their own—and/ frequently differing—views of whatj the candidate meant. Thus it is that a man may become | dry to the drys and wet to the wets, a farm help enthusiast in the middle west and an industrialist in the east. He is fish to the fish and flesh to, the flesh. The result is to confuse} the voter and make lush pickings tor| the ward heeler. The whole thing is both absurd and unfair. There should be no ne- cessity for henchmen to explain where any candidate stands on any important subject. Mealy-mouthed men did not build this . republic.j There should be no place for them in the national picture now. The voters should demand that every candidate declare himself plainly on Pressing issues under pain of being ignored at the ballot box, and this regardless of party. If the middleman should be elimi- nated anywhere it should be in this field. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

In that case there is not the least doubt as to who would be the man in the white house at the present moment. His name would be Alfred E.

Lights blaze from above and below on an unroped squares. Models march up in twos to the music of topical tunes. The tempo is fast and crowds of in- | terested folk must make quick mental notes if they are to remember the creations. At the ultra-swank presentation of Bergdorf-Goodman the other evening, not only were male guests in the majority, but, applause and shouts of approval were evident even as in the theater. In the large chorus of models this season may be found members of royalty, beauties from Park Avenue and from the Blue Book. I noted, for instance, the Princesses Ketto and Mikalatz, both of Georgian birth—and, like so many other ex- royalists now working for a living.
