IMMORALITY GROWS FAST
Tho Salvation Army, which is in
intimate touch with tho nethor strata
of society, has its views on tho pres
ent topic of discussion, is immorality
moro genoral today than in the past?
Tho Collowlng editorial in tho Ad
visory Board News, a local army pub
lication, of which Brigadier John C.
Smith is tho publisher, Frank h. By
num editor and Ensign W. R. Con
way associate editor, reflects the
Army's viows:
"There is more immorality in the
United Statqs tpday than in, any
previous era in tho history of our
country. A tide of corruption has
crept so completely over tho nation
that not a city or hamlot has escaped
contamination. Vice, under one name
or another, has ingratiated itself into
the lives of more boys and girls, more
men and women, than ever before.
"Those are mean facts, but they
are cold facta. Statistics might be
employed U refute thorn. But statis
tics on moral conditions at this time
are meaningless; ovil of this sort
cannot bo tabulated. The Salvation
Army recognizes tho situation. It is
alarmed. Asido from religious bodies
some few others may also be appre
hensive. But the fathers and mothers
of America either do not realize or
do not care.
"It is not difficult, however, to
understand their failure to see. clear
ly. The moral sight has been
dimmed; it, too, has been affected by
tho trend. Gradually men and wom
en havo learned to overlook as 'all
right' things that - are all wrong.
When 'everybody' does a brazen
thing, tho thing ceases to be brazen.
And so sensual dancing, illicit liquor,
wild 'parties,' a frightful lack of
modesty, a drawing away from the
Christian religion, and all the angles
that are included, play a leading part
in our social life, from the top strata
to tne Dottom. Pleasure has ceased

"Parental neglect is largely to

parental influence, is as rare as in

world but an awakened moral and

of parents can stem this wave of

The Chiropractor tells you his mes
sage in English because he wants you to
understand. He doesn't camouflage his
ignorance with Latin.
Truth js the same always and every
where, and because the practice of
Chiropractic is based upon truth it is a
universally efficient method.
The laws of nature are the same yes
terday, today, and forever; and because
Chiropractic is based upon natural law,
it does not change its explanation of dis
ease with the seasons. .
Since Chiropractic .depends upon the
operation of natural law for its results,
chiropractors do not require faith or
credulity of their patients.
Chiropractic is a demonstrable sci
ence. It is 'the most efficient method of
.getting the sick well and any chiroprac
tor will gladly show, you just what he
does, and tell you tvhy he does it.

Senator Robinson, "to prompt him to
an act which, while adding nothing
to his standing as a lawyer, detracts
from his renown as a public officer of
high moral character.
"By this letter the Secretary ap
proves the reckless and almost unlim
ited expenditure of money in ques
tionable ways by a candidate's rela
tives ahd friends if criminal knowl
edge on the part of the candidate can
not bo established according to the
rules of trial in criminal cases.
"Secretary Hughes was the chief
counsel for the defense in the New
berry caso, but it is hardly to be con
tended that his recent political letter,
issued at the instan.ee of the Republi
can National Committee, has rela
tionship wittf his duties as such
counsel. The letter is designed to
inform public opinion touching a
moral issue.
"Since the publication of the letter
by Secretary Hughes, many have as
serted that his attitude discloses a
lawyer's appreciation to his client for
a lucrative fee rather than a public
offlcer's sense of duty and responsi
bility to his government. It is clear
that tho Secretary blundered" under
the inducement of political high
binders." Senator iPomerene said Secretary
Hughes had given "a certificate of
character" to Senator Newberry
based on tho record in the t Supreme
Court, Which, lift ftRRnrforl AA .

Senator Walsh (Dem.Iont.) de
