I. Schneider, president of the center, in a lengthy address, registered indignation over the "pecuniary methods employed by some of our politicians." This remark was made In reference to the Transit t'ommls- sion's order that tho Park ave. cars be run on their full schedule. The speaker said that six months prior to J-Jiection, cars were a nonentity on that line. "Assemblyman Kruss and Senator Lockwood should bo con gratulated for having the cars running two weeks before Election," he went on, adding, "this was merely a political trick."

I "1 will not talk about the Ku-Klux Klan tonight," said the Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, pastor of the Church of the Ascension, Manhattan, last night, in addressing the Public Forum of Brooklyn Heights, which meets in P. S. 15, Sehermerhorn st.

and 3d "because there are many other i secret, underhand, un-American or. ganizations which do not put pillow-! cases over their heads!" I Dr. Grant, who is a pioneer in forum work, spoke on "Forums and Freedom." lie related the manner in which the forum had come into being I in liia own church quite accidentally through his meeting a "wild young i Irishman of an inquiring mind Who had the gift of self-expression." Dr. Grant invited this young man to preach in his chapel one evening. The Irishman filled the chapel and later tho church with 800 men, many of whom had not been to church for 30 years.

One Sunday night Dr. Grant Invited this strango congregation to the parish house for coffee and sandwiches. Some one spierl Lincoln Steffens and Kate Douglas Wiggin. They were asked to make speeches. And that was the be ginning of the forum which grew to hold such an important position until Dr.

Grant's Bishop saw fit to forbid the holding of the forum in the church on tho grounds that the church is "consecrated." "Is a consecrated church a place where people are not allowed to speak?" asked Dr. Grant. "A forum whose platform is devoted to freedom of thought, freedom of speech, is consecrated. What could be more consecrated than this public school which is hallowed by the self-sacrifice of the young men and women who study here at night after working all day? "The forum does America a big turn, continued Dr. Grant, because it is the one place which provides a mature education for the masses.

It is only in the forum that problems of life, problems of thought, of government, of Industry, are presented to the people. Experts, men yho know facts and who will present those facts fairly, are invited to speak from the. forum platforms. Members of the forum have the opportunity to acquire knowledge and then to apply it. "Because the forum is a liberal, democratic institution, it has as its natural enemj the conservative, rich class.

Those satisfied with things as they are do not want tho dissatisfied majority to learn to think!" Alter Dr. Grant's address, the Public Forum of Brooklyn Heights passed a resolution "recommending that forums be held in every church In Brooklyn, on Sunday nights after the church service, or Ut such times as prove most suitable." Chairman William J. Dilthey, who presided, announced that he had been Invited by the Board of Education to organize forums in 700 public schools. stateIlicense bureau urged L. V.

Coleman Sees Need of Halting Motorcar Accidents. That there is a great need for the creation of a State' license bureau to care for tho increasing motorcar traffic was the opinion expressed by Lawrence V. Coleman, director of the Safety Institute of America, speaking on "Safety A Community Concern," before tho forum of the Bay Ridge Community Center, which is affiliated with the Peoples Institute, in the auditorium of Bay Ridge High School, 4th ave. and Senator last evening. H.

F. Mangnum presided. "Safety Week," said the speaker, "was a big success, as wo got the people thinking, a thing that is necessary it we are to combat, the growing death rate from accidents in our streets. We need to be educated out of our absent-mindedness, hurry, indifference and the relying upon the other fi How that he will do the proper thing. "We need more policemen to take care of us, but with the present inadequate force this is Impossible.

More dratltic punishment should be handed out to offenders of the traffic laws. While the individual accidents hav decreased 96 percent the street accidents have Increased 3,000 percent. The hazard of the motorcars increases yearly 124 percent." The speaker somewhat startled his audience by predicting that during the next year one, out of every seven persons that were present would meet with some sort of an uccident.

These Hats Also on Sale in Our New York "Every man who raises his hand against the law is essentially a savage," former Governor Charles H.

Whitman told the members of the St. Nicholas Society of Nassau Island last night at their 71th anniversary dinner at the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. "We must see to it," he Continued. "that we exemplify in our lives that thing which today is our priceless Jieritage American law. When the law' is violated, when hundreds of thousands of men openly declare their Intention to disregard the li.w of the land; when they say that tney win run no trains and that no one shall run them; that tho commerce of the nation shall be paralyzed, then Bhould see to it that these lawbreak ers bo punished.

It is perfectly proper that the president should use his influence and even more. I am reminded of the words. of the lirsl President of this nation, George Washington, when he said In regard to the Shay rebellion, influence is not govern. XX IS LI we, equtui.v Ul uie uuil'H aim Iho English that when they came to this country they established homes, schools and churches. But tho churcn was nt the first structure erected, the school was not the first structure erected, nor was the home the first structure erected.

These hardy pio-i neers loved their church and school I only second to the love in which thuy fcelrl their homes. "But they did something before they built any of these structures. They did it in New York, they did it in New England, in Virginia, along the Mississippi Valley and throughout the' West. They built, first of all a ptocltade. They cut down trees and huilt a little wooden fort and this they guarded with every facility they had or could devise.

They had their Bibles and their schoolbooks, but they had their blunderbusses, too loaded to hit. Bulwark Against tlie Savage. "They knew that if they could not hold that bulwark against the savafie hey; could not dream of holding churches, their schools and their homes. That is why we are here' tonight because of the valiant men before us who held the little log stock-are against the savages who wished to violate, their homes. We have a stockade to defend today.

Not of logs, not of atone, but of something inlinitely stronger American law. "If we cannot hold that protecting stooka.de of American law which we have thrown around American civill-ration we cannot hope to hold outplace in the world, livery man who raises his hand against the law is essentially a savage." A few weeks ago several hundred persons gathered at a banquet in a large Manhattan hotel to praise the Long Island of today, with its many industries and commercial pursuits. Last night, at the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, a few score men gathered to do honor unto the Long Island of the days when it was known as Nassau Island, to honor tho memory perpetuate the customs of the old J)utch settlers, their ancestors, of what is now the Boro of Brooklyn and many another flourishing community on Long Island. For 74 years these men and their forebears of a generation or two before have, on each St. Nicholas Day, done likewise.

They smoke their long rmy, pipes "Ben pyp tabak" and draw chances for tho little orange tree on each table, a custom which dates back to the days of good King William of Orange. Bach of the speakers introduced by the president of the society and toaitmaster of the dinner, Charles A. pttmos, paid high tribute to the old, Holland burghers who founded so well the community now known us Greater New York, from New Utrecht to tho Haarlem. Following ex-Governor Whitman, introduced as the "great war Governor of our State," Herbert L. Bridgman, member of the Board of Regents of the State of New York, addressed the diners.

"If America Should Slip." "If America should slip," said Regent Bridgman, "the entire world would be threatened with Bolshevism now rampant in Europe. It is now the place of the United States more than ever before to stand firmly footed In those fundamentals of our Dutch ancestors. Industry and integrity. "There Is a serious tendency at tho present time on the part of our teachers and school authorities that religion and morality must be taught In our public schools. The idea that religion can not be taught in school Is a bugbear that cannot scare me.

If the child" is not taught morality when will he or she learn it? We must get back to that fundamental integrity, and virtue of our Dutch ancestors who so closely allied church, school end home." High tribute to Secretary of Davis In his work to sift the immigrants who come to the American shore was paid by Dr. Edward Everett Hicks, president of the New England Society In Brooklyn, who stated that the Immigration problem was the "most serious question before the public today." "We cannot liold our gates too tignt," he said. "There is too much politics and it is too easy for the foreigner to get in.
