PARIS DOOMED; SIN WILL DESTROY CITY, AIMEE WARNSI

CAFE THRONGS TURN DEAF EAR TO EVANGELIST Pastors Stunned by Orgies of Montmartre, Seen in Night Trip. NUDE GIRLS SHOCK HER Revelers Like Animals Is Mrs. M’Pherson’s View; Goes to Geneva. BY RALPH HEINZEN. United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1928. by United Press' PARIS, Sept. 24.—Aimee Semple McPherson has deserted Paris for the more placid city of Geneva, but the Montmartre still was stunned today after her whirlwind "sin tour” of the gayest streets in the world. Up the hill that is the Montmartre went the famed California evan-

gelist, shuddering as she traveled a trail thick with champagne corks,] scantily clad girls and laughter. Accompanied by a United Press correspondent, she 1 entered the Dead Rat cabaret, where waiters rushed up with tubs of champagne, only to halt with per-

plexed expressions on their faces as she waved for them to take the wine away. Gigolos, the dancing men of Paris, bowed low and asked her to fox trot with them, but Mrs. McPherson begged the men to forsake their riotous living. They turned away. "Heaven and Hell,” was her next stop ■and from there she went to "Plgalle,” "Russian Caviar” and “Bricktops.” In each cabaret she sought to convert the waiters and entertainers. What a Pity, She Says Came midnight at the "Tabarin” and nude girls rode chariots through the swirling crowd. "What a pity, what a pity,” said Mrs. McPherson. The throng, ignoring her, cheered loudly. She left immediately for "Josephine’s,” formerly owned by Josephine Baker, Darling of New York’s Harlem. The tour ended at "Forest Glade.” “My heart nearly stopped when I saw girls, unclothed or nearly so, dancing, singing or riding their chariots all for such pleasure of the flesh,” Mrs. McPherson said on her way back to the hotel. Arriving there, she wrote the following impression of her tour for the United Press: "I stood on the brink of hell tonight and looked down inside.

Rotten at Core "Gay Paris is polished on the outside, but it is the rottenest city in the world at the core. “I want to cry from the highest point in Montmartre: "This city is a veritable Sodom and Gomorrah, but seems to me that God’s patience is being tested and Paris <s doomed to certain destruction. Your revelry wull burst like bubbles in your champagne glasses; like your toy balloons you burst with cigaret tips overhead. "Satan has blinded you. You are sex mad. You have forgotten civilization. You have reverted to animals, but I know you are hungry for religion and some day I will come back and try to save a few souls.’* "I suffered to see those young girls whose lips quivered under the carmine. I thought of the unhappiness of their mothers as I saw them stretch their bare arms to their dancing partners, but I was disgusted with the gorgeously gowned matrons, trying to cover their sinful hearts with a thin layer of silk Voices of Pain "It hurts me to think of the thousands of young Americans who come here imagining they are on a lark, without chaperones. “If only their parents knew that Montmartre is wilder and dirtier than the tinselled dance halls of the old wild west. “These orgies are worse than Rome. They make me ask where is France’s reason? Where are her churches? "It is too awful to describe, but some day there will be a reckoning and they will pay for every vile kiss which has crushed the lips of callous companions. "Paris is like a whited sepulchre. a burial place of thousands of rotted souls. “I would love to hold a revival here and clean out the shadows and puii the spiders from the webs where jazz is driving people crazy. "The more I see of Paris and Montmartre, the more happy I am to be an American.’’ CHAPEL RITES HELD Speedway Christian Church, Fourteenth and Winton Sts., observed the second anniversary of the building of its chapel with a special church service Sunday.

This is the first of a series of twenty-eight daily stories by Rodney Dnteher. chief of NEA Service's Washington Bureau, covering presidential campaigns from the days of George Washington down to that of Hoover and Smitn. Today's article tells of the two elections of George Washington. BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer (Copyright, 1928. by NEA Service)

ASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—The first two presidential elections were landslides. George Washington, unopposed, was elected unanimously in 1789 and 1792. But in his two terms gigantic issues shaped. They decided subsequent elections and many of them are with us today. The Fathers met them boldly. In twelve years these now familiar issues arose: Corruption in high office, tariff, law enforcement—in the case of the whisky tax, debt funding, taxes, election frauds, religion, immigration, civil liberty, State rights,

special privilege the condition of agriculture, sectionalism, prosperity and many more. King George 111 was then far more than Mayor Bill ThompS ° n These'were 1 the problems in the historical struggle between the Federalist party of Washington. Hamilton and John Adams and the Republican or Democratic Republican party of Jefferson, Hamilton and Monroe. ,

Overshadowing all was the question whether the United States should be a dictatorship of Hamilton's propertied aristocrats or a democracy of Jefferson’s men of merely ordinary station. Aristocrats vs. Masses The first election was held in January, 1789. Rhode Island and North Carolina had not ratified the new Constitution and did not send electors. Hamilton’s proposals to elect a President and Senator for life had been defeated, but most people thought of the presidency in terms of royalty. Each State chose an elector for each member of Congress. Each elector had two votes. High man became President and next highest. Vice President. The New York Legislature fought over which house should pick the electors until too late to pick any. Only 69 of an entitled 91 electors showed up at New York City to elect. All the 69 voted for Washington. Adams Is Vice President Favorite sons disputed for the vice presidency. The Federalist fathers promptly saw the wisdom of picking "His Superfluous Excellency” geographically and John Adams of Massachusetts won with thirty-four votes. John Adams apparently had considered himself for first place. Hamilton, fearing needlessly that his vote might equal Washington’s, sent word to electors to split the ticket. The Adams-Hamilton feud began. Washington was inaugurated grandly in New York and appointed Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury and Jefferson as Secretary of State. Asa President, Washington seems to have been a great soldier. He was guided almost entirely by Hamilton, whose differences with the Democratic Jefferson split the country into two great parties, for Jefferson began to organic- the opposition from within the Cabinet. Hamilton Is Party Boss Hamilton, always opposed to what he called ‘the swinish multitude,” bossed his party and his government. He established the national credit, but caused a tremendous outcry by his plan to pay off the national and State debts and create a federal bank In such a way as to enrich speculators and stock Jobbers. There were many of both in Congress. This spurred the new anti-Feder-alist movement, of which Jefferson and James Madison were recognized as leaders as early as 1791. Then the nation divided violently over the French Revolution. Hamilton and the aristocrats became proEnglish and anti-French; the Jeffersonians vice versa. Jefferson began to organize. His appeal was to the preponderant number of farmers and planters, the mistreated war veterans and some prominent Democrats who hated the aristocrats. At the outset this founder of the Democratic party had the support of the Sons of Tammany in New York. Elsewhere he recruited such popular heroes as Sam Adams, Hancock, Franklin, Monroe, Gallatin Maclay and Willie Jones. Not caring or daring to attack Washington the aristocrat who wanted to be called "His Mightiness, the President of the United States” —they put up Governor George Clinton of New York against John Adams for vice president in the 1792 election. Washington was re-elected by 132 electoral votes. Clinton carried New York, Virginia and North Carolina losing to Adams 77 to 60. This was the first test of strength in this country’s first great political struggle. Next: Thomas lefferson vs Alexander Hamilton, the political 1 giants of the nation’s history.
