Tlit‘ Succession
The llev. John Roach Straton.
having made himself the "funda-
mentalist pope," sccms intent upon
establishing a. succession. At any
rate. such is the interpretation
which the ungodly might place upon
his insistence that none of the Bap-
tist clergy hale any right to mamlnu
the qualifications for the ministry of
his son. lilllyer Sireton. aged 21.
who has heard the dnius call.
Young Stratori holds a degree of
ALA. from Mercer university. which
he describes as a faithlcse Sahara.
but feels qualified to be a punish;
of the Gospel because his youth was
influenced by his father "to the ex-
tent of a good hickory switch when
I needed it and much reading that
he. commanded me to do in God's
holy word."
If bircliing by the Rev. Dr.
Straton be sufficient qualification
for the Baptist ministry, it might be
said that John D. Rockefeller, .111.
William A. Brady. the Drvii and
Earl Carroll could he ordniucd as
pulpit thumprrs without further in-
quiry, none of them. so far as _we
know. having been subjected to the
evil influence of Mercer university.
But the soon-to-be-Kev. Iilllyer
bases his claims on the right of God
to ordain such pastors as lie pleases
without the intervention of other
clergyinen from' the Southern New
York Baptist association. by which
he means that he and his father re-
serve the right to pick his examiners
to suit themselves.
Without dwelling at length upon
the merits of the Straton's rejection
of the association's authority. it does
seem difficult to believe that a boy
of twenty-one is suited for holy or-
ders when he admits that his formal
education has been futile and relies
for merit solely upon the castiga-
tlous of a parent who feared above
all things that his 3011 might. in his
university. be contaminated by mod-
ern thought. But the fundamental.
ists may rest assured. The Rev.
Hillyer takes the same anti-scientific
standwhlch is his father‘s stock in
trade. In 1970 there will still be a.
roaring lighter against the monkeys.

nrds.
Homer Remains.
(Bridgeport Post.)
The prompt and vigorous denial
by Hom‘cr Cummings of the rumor
that ho was about to give up his
residence in Connecticut and become
a citizen of New York state was
received with mixed emotions.
At regular intervals Homer is
practically read out of his own party
by certain“ spokesmen who, later.
wake up and discover that they can-
not get on without him. _ As for the
Republicans, they pretend to like
Homer personally. but to disregard
him politically. They‘really look

MORTGAGES AS

Better Than Stocks and

tute Reveals In Survey.
Mortgage investments of life in-
surance companies o the United
States have Mollie-l ("garage gross

of the last eleven years. ncrordlnt
to a preliminary report of H10 in-
sliluic for Research in Land Eco-
ilomics‘aurl Public [Million to the
mortgage and fins nre division of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards, based on figures furnished
by the Alfred M. Best. Company.
The study included 230 companies.
all those having aspirin in 1925 of
more. than $500.00“. Tho average
income of stocks and bonds owned
by the some insurance companies
over the same period was 4.76 per
cent. .
The differential in interest returns
between mortgage investments ind
investments in stocks and bonds was.
therefore. 1.43 per cent. That is to
say. the mortgage investments of the
companies in question-lune yielded
approximately 80 per cent more thsn
their investments in stocks and
bonds.
Never save once in tile iod
studied has the return from mort-
gage investments been under 6 per
cent. This was in the your 19l9
when the average return received
was 5.90 per cent. 0n the other
hand never have the. returns from
stroke and bbnds owned by the in-
surance companies in the same
period exceeded 5 per cont except
during the years 1924 and 1925.
when they yielded 5.01 per cent and
5.04 per cent respectively.
Recognition, of the desirability of
mortgage investments on the part of
_lifc insurance companies who are re-
ifiponsihlo for investing more than
$11.000.0000,000 is indicated by the
fact that the percentage of their to-
tal investments pinged in mortgages
has increased from 31.65 per cent in
1911 to “1.5 pop cent in 1925. That
is the percentage, of life insurance
funds thus invested in mortgages
was. in 1925, 28 per cent greater
than it was in 1911. The actual
increase is. of course, tremendous.
leaping from 51.228.000.000 in 1911
to 34.775.090.000 in 1925.
The average rate earned in the
two classes from 1915 to 1926 is
