There are 12 States in which the average ranges between $600 and $1,000; seven between $1,000 and $1,250; and 22 between $1,250 and $1,500. These are not striking figures.

And from their ranks come daily fresh adherents to the not incon- siderable element demanding a change. That ele- - ment is composed of millions who are on principal opposed to such Constitutional enactments as the Eighteenth Amendment, and its vehicle for en- forcement, the Volstead Act. Their determina- tion to bring about a respect for their views and the rights and privileges they hold are guaran- teed to them under the Constitution has not faltered, but rather has their protest against tyrannical minori domination grown stronger with each succeeding year umder the dry regime. Viewed in this light Prohibition is and will continue to be an issue, regardless of its recogni- tion or nonrecognition by political parties.

Highway improvement must go forward at a more rapid rate than during the past 10 years . It motor car owners are to enjoy full use of their vehicles, the American Automobile Association has warned in a statement showing the ratio of motor cars to miles of improved highway. At the of 1927 here were 40 motor in operation for eachgile of improved This ratio is based on the estimate 000 miles of improved highway and known registration of approximately 23,125,000 gaso- line motor vehicles. The number of cars to each mile of improved “highway has more than doubled the past ten years, it is urged In 1918 there were 17 cars and trucks in operation for each mile of high- way. There are about 3,000,000 miles of highway, and of this approximately 19 per cent. is classi- fed as improved in the association’s computation. close The average played in public rly salary of teachers em- ols throughout the Truites States is §1, At has been determined survey recently completed by the United - Bureau of Education. One of the significant facts it brought to light that the salarie paid in States in which industrial activities are predominant are generally lgrger than in those is 4ure uppermost. For instance, New York State, ~ which is the leader, pays an average of $1,986 annualy.

It pertinent to call the attention of Cin- cinati church people to these statements, since the Baptists of the Miami Association are this week in se om in this cit The editorial in the per the Baptist Church firmly and irrevocably on the solid rock of patriotic American The writer s that Baptists can recognize State legitimate institution of society. can observe that the te and the church, institutions existing le by side in the same community, do have points of contact and into relations that require definite adjust- ment. They can say that the State is subject to moral obligations and that the proc: of civil government ought to conform to principles of right They have the right to testify o n the sphere of govern- such wrong be righted. the moral duties of citi- is referred to places the as ch p atement of fundamental is .clear and ringing attitude with respect to a anty of the constitution: What is governmént? It is essen- tially the organization of the commun- ity as a whole for the promotion of the common good, having the power of com- pulsion as far as may be necessary to that end That kind of an institution a Baptist Church can never be, and that power it can never use. It can- not consistently look to the State for support or aid It cannot elect or ap: point civil rulers. It cannot enact laws for the civil community. It cannot par- ticipate in war. At cannot permit the State to fnterfere jyith ita faith, fellow- ship, worship, organization, teaching and discipline. These are some of the prac- tical implication of the Batpist slogan, ‘“‘the separation of church and State.” If Baptists do any of these things they violate Baptist principles . But between the State as a civil community and the church as a spiritual brotherhood the difference in gehius and method is so broad that neither can in- vade the province of the other wthout corrupting both. No Baptist, without treason to the .principles and history of the Baptist movement, can consent te lower the banner of the separation of church and State. This banner still rep- resents a part of the contribution that Baptists have to make to the civilization of mankind. That they have no present monopoly of this principle is gladly con- ceded. That many Protestants have for- ever abandoned the union of church and State we firmly and happily believe. But the principal implications’of the separa- tion of church and State are yet to be wrought out in a hundred directions in which the training of Baptists ought to make them pioneers. This is American doctrine. It is what Enquirer has preached in season and oue of son. It defines the foundation upon which the structure of this Government rests. It is good to have so clear and unequivocal an expression from great Christian denmomination. It should be heralded far and wide. It should be distributed among the denominational lobbyists at Washing- ton and the various State capitals.. It should be read in the churches and in the schools.

Have You “Joined” Cordova. (Cordova Times.) It is neither a sin nor a disgrace to buy merchandise or service of any 'kind away from Cordova. -On the other hand, this country is founded upon freedom of action in these respects. No trade-at-home movement founded upon com- pulsion *is sound. The trade-at-home argument that holds water is based upon good business and civic loyalty. In this modern age- of competition no alert business man thinks of depending upon the trade-at-home propaganda as.an excuse for his own non-progressiveness. Instead, he is active to meet his customers’ demands and ready to and service as business war- But from the standpoint of the consumer i usiness to trade-at-home i aibic 15 of Corduva support their ‘own clubs, ) charches and schools " and other public cuterprises because they bhelieve in them, belong to them and want to see them grow and prosper. It is axiomatic in our national life that people render support to the institutions closest to their own lives. In turn, these institutions keep alive and become productive of good works. Why not then belong to Cordova—your own community— in every possible relation of life and business’ activity, Communities develop in the ratio their loyalty bears to their population.
