TAKI Bishop Warren A. Candler, Senior Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, wrote a very strong letter to those Bishops of his church who are trying to take their cloth and church into the political campaign. He shows that they are departing from the traditions of Methodism in the South His letter reviews the history of the Church, showing that from the beginning, even during the dark days reconstruction, down to the present the Methodist Bishops have set their faces resolutely against into politics until of them became enmeshed with the Anti-Saloon Leag and followed it into the game. It was in 18 that the Bishops of the Church, during the days when carpet- baggers were putting over the intolerable recon- struction policy, in a church letter declare Know your high calling. Preach Christ and Him crucified. Do not preach politic: You have no commission to preach politics. The divinity of the Church is never more strikingly display- ed than when it holds on its ever- straightforward way in the midst of 'or}dly commotions. “ Candler quotes many other letters m\“ 3' the House of Bishops from time to of entrance sOme e “the| Main | THI: DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1928 time all on the taking question of the church and politics, the ground, and concludes From this established and position of my church I feel tion to dissent or depart igreement with the words of when he witnessed His good | before Pontius Pilate, “My not of this world” (John xviii, 36).

Markedly in the public interest is the analysis of cur industrial situation and the suggested remedies embodied in the address of Dr. George Otis Smith before the section of Mineral Law of the American Bar Association, at Seattle, Washington, on July 24, That Dr. Smith's deductions and h are in harmonious ac- cord with the expressed opinions of other dis- tinguished representatives of our business and industrial life adds weight and luster to his declarations, * o Obviously, law that industry lete governmental (Engineering it is to the representatives of the must address itself if the obso- machinery that hampers its development, self-control, and evolution is to be scrapped: for both Congress, in which the pre- ponderance of legalists is overwhelming in more senses that one, and the judiciry, which has the final y on all matters of love, lierty, life, and license, must be convinced of the imperative need for change before industry may be freed from the shackles imposed by the lawgivers of other day The cccasion of Dr. Smith's presentation of the result of his study of industry and govern- ment was colored with some measure of romantic interest by the that an illustrious pre- decessor, Dr. Ros: W. Raymond, for long an official of the A. 1. M. E,, and the first editor of the Engineering and Mining Journal, in his initial official report to the Government on the mines of the West, had pointed out that, “Gov- ernments are in a certain sense trustees of the wealth stored in the mineral deposits of their realms-—trustees for succeeding generations of their own citizens and for the world at large.” Dr. Raymond’s doctrine of sixty yea ago is now generally accepted civic dogma. It has been reaffirmed by leaders of thought and of our in- dustries, in natural, major, and minor key, in increasing volume, especially in the last decade. Evey proper influence should be exerted upon our National officials, to the end that its crescendo may climax in some action at Washington. No problem of our complex National life—not farm relief nor prohibition—transcends in importance the necessit that Congress be brought to an increased realization that industry in the United States has in very truth come of age and can be trusted to behave itself, In every field of corporate business which is performing a National service, leaders with con- stuctive purpose are with clear voice demanding industry’s release from its present limitations. Dr. Smith, in his address, quoted M Schwab, Hoover, and other industrial leader Reference has already been made in these columns to the fact that Mr. James H. MecGraw, in a recent announcement, cal irringly for more states- manship in business—for Increased dedication to service. The thought is dominant in our exist- ing industrial and ecivie life. Dr. Smith is indeed fortunate in that he ‘may |speak in a dual role: as the director of United States Geological Survey and as Pre; of the A\ I. M. E.
