Evangelical *.and Reformed Church To
•Meet Again In 1938.
The General Synod of the Evangelical arid .Reformed Church which
has been .in--session for a full week
at Fort Wayne, Indiana, has adjourned
to meet again in 1938 in Columbus,
Ohio.
The'sessions disposed of the matters
thatccamel before it. The finest Christian spirit prevailed throughout and
almost all actions were taken by
unanimous vote.
The report of the executive committee listed a surprising amount of
progress in* conducting the work of
* the'Church unitedly. Not a single dispute arose that required adjudication.
Three days were devoted to discussion of the * constitution and by-laws
for the united Church. The new
Church makes no distinction whatever
between men and women. A woman
could be ordained as an elder or
■deacon, or even.as a minister.
Officers of the last two years were
.unanimously re-elected.

ACCORDING to the program, Philadelphia scrapple was served yesterday morning to the Jadies attending the Democratic National convention. Scrapple is rarely served in
that city during the summer, but to
my way of thinking it is a dish fit
for the gods if it is not spoiled in
frying. Off hand, I should say that
Lancaster, York or Berks county furnished the scrapple for the breakfast.
It is strictly a Pennsylvania "Dutch"
concoction and it tastes just a wee
bit better in Lancaster and in Reading than it does in the Quaker 'City.
Pepperpot is another delectable disli
they serve in Philadelphia in the
winter. Morning newspaper workers
made a bee-line for the old Girard
House for a bowl of pepperpot before
going liome after a hard night's work.
Those were the days and nights this
writer recalls with a glow of pleasure
—scrapple and pepperpot! But alack
and alas, they are no more for me!
■t t t
r,S Wednesday :night :mummers
will parade'on-Broad street, then
crown some.young lady queen of
the convention. The Mardi Gras in
New Orleans is a show well worth
the space it gets in the papers, but
it will run second to the mummers'
parade in Philadelphia on New Year's
iday. If the mummers tonight give half
the performance they do on the first
iof January the*visitors**will see some-
(thing they vwill n6t 'foTget for years.
There :are 'hundreds of mummers'

in-costumes.arid floats. The parades
are really gorgeous. Emperors, kings,
queens' arid famous characters in his-
ito-py '.walk ; proudly along or sit in
chariots while the bands play on!
In 'North/ Ninth street was a large
warehouse where a man could enter
in the clothes of an ordinary American
and emerge an. hour later looking like
'George Washington, Hamlet, Shylock,
Napoleon or any character he chose
to assume. Women after a visit to the
warehouse resembled Sarah Gamp,
Goneril, Eugenie, Queen Victoria,
Martha Washington, or other women
renowned in history, song or novel.
The owners rented the clothes,
jewels and swords to responsible
persons/The renting of silk hats and
evening clothes netted tlie warehouse
a substantial sum of money each
month.. Mummers went* tlnove for their
showy garments. If the place is still
doing business at the old stand it will
furnish the "color" for the parade
tonight.

TTNLESS the delegates have seasoned
JJ guides they may find themselves
lost in Fairmount park. That is
if they start out looking for Independence 'hall and the Liberty bell, Ben
Franklin's grave, Carpenter hall and
a few other places regarded as sacred
spots in America.
Strange though it may seem, thousands of persons born in Philadelphia
can not tell offhand where the above
places are located. This writer once
assigned two reporters to ask pedes
trians passing Independence hall to
tell them the shortest way to reach
the hall. Few knew. They "thought"
it was somewhere in the neighborhood. To this writer's personal knowledge there are more young men and
women in North* Canton familiar with
historic places in Philadelphia than
there are in that city, population considered.

CONVENTIONS*culled to renominate
a man for President of the United
'States are tame affairs from a
political viewpoint. The delegates
know in advance what is expected of
them and like trained soldiers they
■carry out the orders'issued. As stated
in this column several weeks ago I
have seen more genuine enthusiasm
at a meeting to elect a county chairman than I saw when McKinley or
Coolidge were renominated.
'Governor Theodore Roosevelt of
New York put up a bit of bluff when
they named him as McKinley's running mate in Philadelphia, and asserted he wouldn't take it, but as all
tlie world knows, he did.
In Cleveland the delegates munched
peanuts and popcorn when Coolidge
was named to succeed himself, and
except for a few yells arid the band
playing, the entire convention resembled Calvin, "cool arid collected."
However, a convention of either
party is worth 'loolcing • at. The celebrities are present anil they do more
or less posing. Foreign diplomats are

As The Sun Sees It
Without Prejudice
Business Census
F
OR several months the United
States government has been asking not "How is business?" but
"How was business in the year 1035 ?"
The Bureau of the Census, attached
to the Department of Commerce,
started on January 2 to take its
second census of American business.
There was one covering the year of
1933. It had a precedent in the census
of distribution  taken  in   li)2U.
A business census covers a wide
range of activities, distinct from those
of agriculture. Manufacturing, retail
and wholesale trade, hotels, amusements, insurance,_ the real estate
business, construction, trucking, warehousing, banking, finance, business
services and bus transportation, with
some other entries, are in the list of
the fields covered by the census takers.
The information obtained will show
among other things the volume of
business in 1935, operating expenses,
the number of persons employed, the
size of the payrolls and specialized
trade statistics.
The business man need not worry
for fear that his affairs will become
public property. Only sworn employes
of the Census Bureau examine the
individual returns, and even other
government agencies are denied access
to them.
The business census should go far
to complete the picture of American
conditions. It offers a means of getting at the truth concerning variations
in'employment' through the census
years as well as throwing further
light upon the ups and downs of the
volume of business.
The Census Bureau promises to
begin releasing reports by states in
July. In other words, the information
is to be made of contemporary interest
rather than deferred until a time
when it could be classed as statistical
history. Uncle Sam will thus be
better able to form a better idea of
where he is at. And a business census
is something every man engaged in
business needs as a guide. It opens
new avenue's of trade or it warns a
man where to go slow in investing
Ms money.
The Bureau of the Business Census
is of course a permanent institution
and to Herbert Hoover must go the
credit for establishing while President what is really.a dictionary and
directory of business life in the
United  States.

Campaign Humbuggery
A READER of The Sun writes that
he is in favor of a law punishing
political candidates for uttering
falsehoods while addressing voters.
He asks this newspaper to line up
with him. "I vote for Republicans and
I vote for Democrats, but I nm
thoroughly disgusted with the high-
sounding promises which we hear in
all campaigns. Candidates who are
using these promises to achieve positions should be soundly defeated."
The Sun agrees with its correspondent that "something ought to be
done." Defeat would prove more effective than any mere law in putting an
end to demagogic chicanery.
Unfortunately we are in for more
oi the same thing in the coming contest in the nation and state and
county. The nominees when they
were candidates discovered that the
plan works, and the best "promiser"
gets the most votes. While all this
connotes a low degree of intelligence
on the part of the voters, apparently
it is an accurate estimation of the
situation and the politicians have been
quick to take full advantage of it.
Yet, whether there is any statutory
way to save the citizens from their
own folly must remain a question.
While we have ways of reimbursing
the purchaser of a coat that is offered
as genuine fur when in fact it is an
imitation and while there is a legal
remedy if what is sold as a pedigreed
pig is really only a mongrel, there is
no method of protecting ourselves
against the men who dupe us into
electing them by pretending to be
what they are not and by promising
to do what they cannot do and know
they cannot do when they promise.
Yet the damage caused by these
political mountebanks is so vast that
the misrepresentations of the business
cheat seems almost inconsequential in
comparison.
So far as campaign humbuggery is
concerned, about the only recourse left
to us is in the nature of locking the
garage after the automobile is stolen.
In the course of time we can turn
the tricksters out. That is the course
to which all citizens everywhere
should set their hand when officeholders of either party who rode into
position through exaggerated promises
and who failed to keep them seek reelection.

This week the Ohio Department of

There will be. no inflammatory
speeches, .no blaring of trumpets, but
just a good old-fashioned school to
■teach our future citizens the whys
anil wherefores of the good old American form of government.
In the past, the subversive elements
have through their mouthpieces done
considerable loud talking, with the
result that they have obtained considerable publicity.
The greatest contribution the American Legion can make to good government is to show to its citiz<-'is and
future citizens just why we have the
form of government which v.e bave

has a strong odor which repels livestock unless they are quite hungry.
All parts of this plant are poisonous
and only a small amount has to be
eaten to cause death. The water hemlock is as toxic to human beings as it
is to animals.
Farmers who want to eradicate the
water hemlock from pastures can
learn to recognize the plant. The
plant's stems are smooth, hollow, and
usually much branched. These stems
tend to grow erectly. The branches
are spaced on the stem so that each
is on a different side of the stem
than the one above or below it. The
leaves are divided several times so
that they resemble those of the carrot somewhat. The white flowers are
small and are borne in open clusters
on the ends o fthe branches. The seeds
are split in two boat-shaped which are
joined on the flat sides.
