Mrs. Urbahns Succeeds Her Husband the custom that has grown If 1 up during recent years of appointing widows of deceased office holders to succeed their husbands, Governor Jackson has appointed Mrs. B. H. Urbahns to succeed her husband as Treasurer of State. Mr. Urbahns died Thursday night. • Mrs. Urbahns has had considerable experience in public affairs and is looked upon as thoroughly capable. There could be no possible objection to the appointment of a well qualified woman to this office. Her appointment is a recognition of women in political affairs that will be generally approved. Other Names to Be Cleared [pIRESIDENT COOLIDGE appointed Bert 11 | Haney of Oregon to the United States shipping board and later demanded that he resign because, so he said, Haney wasn’t- living up to an understanding they had made concerning certain policies of the shipping board. Haney denied making any such understanding and refused to resign. President Coolidge had a vacancy to fill in the United States tariff commission in 1924. The election was imminent and politics dictated that he reappoint David J. Lewis of Maryland. He knew Lewis believed'that the sugar tariff should be reduced in order to save millions of dollars —which the big sugar concerns didn’t need —to the American # consumers. Coolidge’s sympathy was with the sugar concerns, rather than the housewives. He was engaged at the time in an effort to make Thomas Beecher Warren, a representative of the sugar interests, his Attorney General. He wished to control Lewis and he didn’t want any such slip-up such as occurred in the case of Bert Haney. So he asked Lewis to give him, in (advance, his undated resignation to be held as a club over Lewis’ head. These facts have now come out and the White House spokesman has no explanation for them. How can he explain? A member of the tariff commission's not the President’s agent. He is a semi-judicial official and wholly independent of the President. The President, legally, has no more control over the United States tariff commission than he has over the United States Supreme Court. If the President sought to obtain Lewis’ undated resignation in advance, has he sought to obtain others? Ilasvhe succeeded in obtaining them? He has appointed men to the shipping board, the Interstate Commerce Com-

The Gospel of John Is Very Rich in Its Interviews

The international uniform Sum lay school lesson for Jan. 24: Jesus and the S unaritau Woman.—John 4:13-28. BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist SHE gospel of John Is rich in Us interviews. Probably few things In literature or In journalism are more Interesting than narratives and teachings in the form of good dialogue, and the writer of this Gospel is a master in the art of recording an Interview. We must read the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman against the backgrounds of its own age to catch its full significance. There would be, for instance, nothing unusual about a teacher conversing with a woman in a public place in our modern day. But in the Palestine of that time there was a Convention that separated the sexes, approximating to the custom that has continued in eastern countries and that has only been modified in recent years. It would have been most uncommon for Jesus to have been found conversing with any woman at so public a place as Jacob’s Well, but that he should have been found in such Intimate conversation with a Samaritan woman, .and with a woman of questionable character, was so much against all the conventions of the time that it is no wonder that the disciples marveled greatly, it is an instructive incident reminding us how revolutionary Jesus was la his attitude toward prevalent teachings and customs where these conflicted with the simple exercise of goodness and common sense. Putting Custom Aside \y© are reminded also that It Is me of the functions of sane and iSound religion to abolish customs and restrictions that are not in harmony With sensible practice, and that unduly limit the freedom that true Christianity would bring into 3very sphere of life. Like the conversation with Nioodemus the teaching of this narrative centers around water as a symbol of life. The simple request that Jesus made to the woman for a drink of water is the opening for this matchless sermon on the nature of God and the secret of true worship and of eternal life. The woman shows immediately that she has some .capacity forethought, and there Is a

mission and to the Federal bench, including the United States Supreme Court. Does he have, locked in his desk, undated resignations any of these appointees? The revelations concerning the President’s attempt on the integrity of Mr. Lewis lays many other men, appointed by the President, open to suspicion. These other men should be quick to indorse the demand of Senator Norris for a senatorial investigation of this new presidential practice. In no other way, perhaps, can their names be cleared. World Court Letters mNDIANA Senators are being deluged with letters opposing the world court, according to a Washington dispatch. Asa result, both of them are reported to be undecided as to how they will vote on the question. Both Senators have repeatedly pledged themselves to support the Administration. The Administration is for the world court. Undoubtedly theynwill have a lot of explaining to do when they come back to Indiana to campaign for re-election regardless of how they vote. It really is too bad that the vote can not be postponed until after the election. Os course, every one knows how most letters are written to Senators. They result from organized movements, fostered by propagandists. It is entirely possible, with a little effort, to produce hundreds of letters for or against anything. They do not necessarily indicate the feeling of the majority. The City Hospital AYOR DUYALL visited the city hospital IVA Friday and reported that he found it in splendid condition. The hospital has been developed wonderfully during the last few years. Yet a few weeks ago Mayor Duvall, then mayor-elect, announced from “Seclusion," 111., that he intended to replace the board of health responsible for this improvement and that he intended to name a politician as superintendent of the institution. Then he changed his mind. He changed it wisely. * That Cough EONDON theatrical managers are said* to be racking their brains to find some means of combating the “theater cough." London isn’t the only place where the “theater cough" is a nuisance. We have it in every American city. Time and again one misses what is being said on the stage because of the persistent coughing of those around one. Aud .there’s no excuse for it. If one has a cold one has no business going to the theater. If one hasn’t a cold, cn? has no business coughing.

.WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

| certain frank honesty in her words. She is evidently quite willing to give the stranger a drink, but, like the disciples, she is amazed that a Jew should ask for a drink from a Samaritan woman. \ The conversation very quickly passes into depths far deeper than that of the well. Jesus comes at once to speak of the mystery of the living water and the woman is fas puzzled as Was Nicodemus. Her request for the living water and the admonition of Jesus to her to go and call her husband lead Into matters that press very closely home to her conscience, and she seeks a v*ay Qut by steering the conversation back into the mysteries of worship. Not the Last The woman of Samaria Is not the first nor the last of those, who have sought to avoid responsibility for their sins by assuming an Interest in religion. But Jesus lehds her through the discussion' of worship

straight back into the realm of righteousness and character. And then comes the glorious revelation that this woman of evil life had in her the elements of a real saint. Beneath her sinful ways there was that which responded to the coming of the Messiah, and when Jesus announced himself as the Messiah, the woman apparently believed. She left her waterpot and went Into the city and gave such remarkable witness concerning Jesus that the men of the city came out and believed on Him saying to the woman, “Now we believe not because of , the saying: for we have heard Him ourselves, dnd know that this is, indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.” If we could all come through this lesson to this acknowledgment, the lesson would have revealed for us all its richness and fullness of meaning. • .

In his own country, John Coates, the English tenor,-is as much an stitution musically as Magr.a Charta politically. Sir Edward Elgar has dubbed him "Arch-Chanter John," because like the ancient monk of that name, sent from Rome In the time of the Venerable Bede (Circa 684) to teach the rude* Saxons how to sing, John Coates, In our own twentieth century, stands vocally apart, a shining exemplar of the art of song. Iran vide Bantock, who dedicated his “Omar Khayyam" to the great tenor, refers gratefully to him as the “bellest of bel cantos." In opera, both abroad and In England, John Coates occupies & position of Indisputable eminence. He has sung In all the leading opera houses of Germany, and during the last brilliant opera season at Cos vent Garden before the war, made a memorable Impression In the name parts of Lehengrin, Tristan and Tannhauser. In oratorio he holds dominant sway. As the creator of the name part of Elgar’s "Dream of Gerontius” as well as of the tenor parts In “The Kingdom" and “The Apostles" by the same composer, he Is Inseparably associated with the performance of these oratorios. He has been the leading tenor at the Three Choirs Festivals of Gloucester, Hereford, and Worcester, since 1902, with the exception of his year In Australia and the period during the war when he saw service in France. Os late years, he has given his time more and more to the development of his unique rung recitals, In which he has proved M nsatf a master of dramatic and vocal skill. The quaint remarks, both witty and erudite, with which he enlivens his recitals, lend a pleasant sense of Intimacy to the otherwise formal atmosphere of the concert hall. • • ."1 N organ recital will be given Wednesday night by Walter ■ .

A Woman’s Viewpoint

MELLIE SAYS. A MOUTHFUL. By Mrs. Walter Ferguson mHI3 wise old Maine fiddler. Mettle Dunham, who has left his quiet life in the woods to become, for a brief time, one of the sights of gay New York, has looked In at the cabarets, and listened to the’jazz, and watched the chorus girls and heard the din and clangor of the busy streets. And he says: “This is a lot of damn foolishness.” v Which is another firoof that education is not always a test of intelligence. Sometimes the illiterate hermit Is wiser than the brilliant scholar. For so many things that we run about doing feverishly are nothing but “damn foolishness.” This habit we Have, for instance, of living,on the ragged edge of our salaries in order to keep up appearances with the fellow across the street, who makes more money than we do; this fancy that we must have a fine and a car as big as those of our friend; the idea thut wo must be a good fellow and drink our liquor In large quantities and play for big stakes, because the fellow at the next desk carries that sort of thing off with a swagger. In fact, the most hectic pursuits of our lives are wholly foolish when we come to analyze them and to compare them with the things that we know to be worth while. Haven’t you known who had

In comfort and ease, who suddenly—for what reason, who can say?—flung away their content and self-respect to carry on an Illicit love affgir and who spent the rest of their lives paying, not only in money, but in sorrow for that sort of foolishness? Haven’t you seen women who had happiness in their hands and who threw the best things of existence away, because they did not have the courage to stand by the honest convictions of their own hearts? The most of us wander down the primrose path, not so much because we have a passion for wickednes and loose living, but because we are obsessed with the idea that we must “keep up with the gan.” If everybody else is being fast, we gnust be fast too, for it seems these days that a great many of us would rather be catted criminal than old-fashioned, which is perhaps of all our foolishness the most damning.

PROPER SUNDAY OBSERVANCE C-riARBY SCHN El HERMAN Jr—l| bowling allay proprietor of ■ *1 Kokomo, was haled before the city court tn that city recently on a charge of violating the Indiana law jn keeping his alleys open on- Sunday. Bowlers, testifying In his defense, said bowling Is a science and necessary to health, therefore, exempt from the Sunday closing law. If he is convicted they Intimate an attempt will be made to close all business places Sundays —theaters, cigar stores, newstanda, eta Maybe a bowling alley running full blast la a desecration of the Sabbath —maybe not. We have heard bowl are use some very earnest biblical expressions when they get a bad spUic. So it may be argued that howling la a proper Sunda y activity.
