AN INCREDIBLE STORY
NO MAN will believe the confession of
Robert Fay, lieutenant of the 16th Sax
ony Infantry. No one will bo convinced that
he was aent here by the Gorman Imperial
Secret Service to cripple or destroy steam
ships destined for tho Allies. Tho story Is
preposterous.
Germany, after all. Is not a child among
the nations. She knows all too well the dan
gers of being caught, and the penalty. Sho
hardly wishes to Involve this country with
all Its resources in a war against her. She
knows that after the war she muBt look to
neutral nations, not to former enemies, for
first aid In re-establishing her commerce. And
the plotting her lieutenant could do could not
make the game worth a tallow dip.
The argument Is all against this conspiracy.
No man will believe In It unless it Is proved.
TRANSIT AND PUBLIC HEALTH
A proper and effective adjustment of tho
ventilation and the avoidance of the over
crowding In street cars will greatly assist
In abating the nuisance created by a vitiated
atmosphere and thus protect the public from
the possibility of the spread of disease Dr.
Zltgler, Director of Health and Charities.
IMPROVED rapid transit, apparently, Is
not a matter of convenience only, for the
preservation of tho public health depends
on It.
, We have learned that coughing and sneez
ing spread disease, yet tho well have to bo
crowded Into the street cars night and morn-
lng along with those suffering from colds of
one kind or another. And then they wonder
-where they contracted tho case of grippe
that confines them to their house for a week
or two.
BIBLES AND WAR
s fTUIC American Bible Society, which will
JL celebrate the centenary of Its founding In
May of next year, reports that It distributed
- 6,400,000 Bibles and Testaments last year, but
that it has received $36,000 less this year
than In 1914.
The demand for Bibles Increases, but the
money to pay for printing them Is becoming
scarcer. Those who wish occupation for an
Idle hour may And It In speculating about
the reason for thin. The rest of us will bo
more interested to know that tho Bible So
ciety circulated last year four times as many
volumes as In 1901 and almost as many as
In the twenty-five year period from 1825 to
1850.
The Philadelphia Bible Society, founded In
1808, Is eight years older than the American
Society, In tho organization of which it par
ticipated. It Is the oldest Bible society In
the United States'. And the first English
Bible printed In America came from the
press here In Philadelphia in 1782.
The Bible may bo old-foshlonod, but It Btlll
. manages to hold Its place, even in time of
war, as by all odds the best seller.
AGAIN THE SACRIFICE
YESTERDAY It was Pittsburgh that paid
the penalty. Months ago the blow fell
on Chicago. Tears ago It fell on New York.
When will it fall on us?
The story of the Pittsburgh Are is tho story
of hundreds of Area every year, perhaps
every month, of our existence. The workers
were trapped on an upper story of the burn
ing building. It Is said that the fire-escape
broke, and that the hose-coupling was In
effective. The building had been condemned.
And there is not lacking that most slnluter
echo of the Triangle fire the windows are
said to have been barred.
When, In Heaven's name, will It end? How
largo Is the price in human lives which this
country must pay? What blind confidence
have we that the lightning which strikes
everywhere will not strike us? And what
end will there be to the greed and negligence
and the waste -which make us a barbarian
among civilized nations?
TAFT ON THE VALUE OF SENSE
We stem to think, for periods at least,
that Cod will take care of us and we don't
have to use any sense at all. Ex-PrcBldcnt
Taft.
- rjIHE attitude of mind of the good people
. X who are exposing preparation for national
' defense has never been more uptly described.
Mr. Taft. has fcen at the head of the War
XfepaHMwn.t, and he knows something about
, ttse prnsOssM of ralng and equipping an
i ny Met wwyl about the country.
i With great charity He call Mr, Bryan's re-
Jjralee an army of a mHli-wi nn oyer night
, tU imn Bfure of speech. Mr. Bryan must
""kaftw that H take six metitM to train an
tnfautej'Biiaia 4 a year te train a cavalry-
buhi or JMijppHiiywaa,
Mr, Taft 1 f eeumae, 1m favor of prepara-
tie U laWsg Mm eewttry, Xe tMnks
that "raeaeaaMe rarilniii" weuM cm-

to Insure our ability to meet any Invading
torce within a few months after It had nailed
for our coast.
We havo no such army and no such nary
at the present time. Our eca-flghtlng force
must be Increased 30 per cent., and Mr. Taft
thinks that after withdrawing tho men
needed in the Philippines and for manning
tho coast defenses there should be at least
seventy-five thousand soldiers trained and
equipped for Instant service.
This Is certainly a modest program, and If
It Is ndopfd wo shall not have to depend
so much upon Providence In a world In
which tho law of tho survival of the fittest
Is ono of tho ways In which Providence
works.
I
VALOR OF DISCRETION
fTIHE only kind of courage that the OrganU
L ration leaders seem to be displaying Is
tho valor of dlscrotlon. They march right
up to nn Issue and when It does not run
awny they march ns boldly back again and
k refuse to face It.
This happened with Smith's challenge to
Porter to debate tho Issues of tho campaign.
Porter ncceptcd so quickly that Smith dis
covered that a debato would interfere, with
his scheduled addresses, and declined to meet
his antagonist.
When the Organization demands an Inves
tigation of Its own charges that Mayor Blank
enburg's Superintendent of Supplies has ac
cepted and paid for coal below tho quality
called for In tho specifications, and the
Mayor hnstens to second tho demand, the
Organization announces through Speaker
Ambler that It Is not "expedient to appoint
an Investigating committee until after tho
election Is over."
Never v.as a truer word written. It Is not
expedient for tho Interests of the Smith can
didacy to allow tho Mayor to tell what he
knows about tho ways of Gnng government
and to show how he has displaced them with
methods that can stand tho light of day.
The Mayor called the bluff so quickly that
the only way they could show any discre
tion nt all was to take to tho woods and
hide behind the tnll tree of expediency.
"PEACE IN SPRING"
"TDCT In April wo will have peace," they
J3 are saying in Berlin. It Is a grim Jest
when tho Imperial Government takes charge
of tho entire food supply and tho order goes
outi that meat may not bo eaten on two days
a week. It Is followed, of course, with a
"we havo plenty"; but the assuranco Is In
falsetto.
Apparently there Is to bo but ono great
victory In this war the victory of Starva
tion. The peace that follows is the peace of
death.
A YEAR OF DAYS
IP YOU are Inclined to forget that 1916 Is
composed of 3CS days, and if you aren't
quite sure that every ono of those days Is
Interesting, provide yourself with one of tho
almanacs which the Atlantic Monthly Is giv
ing away to those who care for such things.
You will be advised, admonished, amused,
Instructed, edified, perplexed and Intrigued.
You will learn that on St. Agnes' Eve you
may expect high winds and that cold does
not hurt poultry, but draughts are fatal.
The Almanac grows positively skittish when
it reminds you that January 26 Is tho anni
versary of the first Ford Joke (1492). You
may doubt It, but can you doubt that "a
sparrow trupi will bo found useful" (Febru
ary 13)7 Moral reflections aro hard reading,
the Almanac knows, yet who Is not exalted
by the reminder that "a man and his over
shoes are soon parted" (March 22)7 April
reminds you, rather suddenly, that on the
second the Allied fleet withdrew from tho
Dardanelles (1915), and It Is a safe bet that
you thought tho fleet wai still there. Turn
to astronomy and you will find with mathe
matical precision tho observation that, on
tho 17th, "Billy Sunday reaches greatest bril
liance" (1915). How strangely events com
pose themselves! On the very day that Italy
entered the war there was a "partial eclipse
of Mr. Barnes by Mr. Roosnvplt" (1916).
On tho first of August "the carC al bird
cries 'What cheor! What cheer!' " ns far
north as Pennsylvania, and the 22d of Sep
tember Is made glorious because It was on
that day that Treltschke was discovered by
Americans (1914). On the 30th of the samo
month Mars will be In Libra. Do you know
when St. Luke's summer Is? Or when the
hibernating season for tennis racquets be
gins? Do you know how to prevent "tho apo
plexy"? Or to cure "the toothach"? The
answers are written down for you, In this
new book of days. Blckorstaff never did
better.

WILL THE FAIR
DO ANY GOOD?
If So, What? Influence nnd Effects
of tho Pnnnmn-Pncific Exposi
tion, "tho Hundred Million
Dollar Show"
By REV. DAVID M. STEELE, D. D.
THERE aro three general things, nbovo
others, thnt impress you most at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition. Tho first Is that all
exhibits aro of things contemporaneous
rather than historical. No long story Is told
here of how things used to be dono, but only
tho story of what Is being dono today. This
show Is celebrating live cvonts, not glorify
ing past memories. It Is not boasting even
of recent achievement, but only of present.
It Is this thnt makes It of chlof moment to
tho world: not to tho world of yesterday, but
to tho world of today. Hero are on display
the latest products of all kinds of human In
genuityand only tho present modo and
voguo of nil of these.
And that first point merges Into this sec
ond: tho fact thnt this exhibition Is meant
to represent tho results of the past decado
only, In tho material progrcra of civilization.
Under the rules, every exhibit that Is en
tered In hopo of an nwnrd for merit must
be a product or a process of tho Inst ten
years. What havo you dono slnco tho
World's Fair nt St. Louls7 That Is tho chal
lenge every exhibitor must meet. And tho
answer Is In wlroless telegraphy, In radium,
the automobile, aeroplanes, high tension cur
rents, transcontinental telephony, tho con
quest of the soil, university extension, se
lective breeding, sanitation, safety devices,
social service. And thirdly, tho illumination
Is a groat main feature.
But What Is It All For?
What Is a world's fair for, anyway? To
attempt an answer to this question Is
tho difference between description and dis
cussion, between mere superficial observation
nnd somo closer scrutiny, between enjoyment
of a spectacle and that kind of analysis that
asks Its reason for exlstcnco nnd Inquires
whether or not thero Is Justification for Its
cost of creation. For tho cost of this Is no
wise Inconsiderable. Tho whole thing at San
Francisco Is commonly spoken of boastfully
ns tho "Hundred Million Dollar Show." I
suppoRe It Is nil that and more depending,
of course, on how you begin to count nnd
where you are content to stop. A conserva
tive estimate of the total expenditure for tho
production puts tho figure nt $90,000,000. in
cluding, of course, all the foreign as well as
other buildings, the exhibits they contain,
the amliscment concessions and the cost of
Installation of all things in tho eleven pal
aces, in which alone there aro more than
fifty miles of alslet dividing the depart
ments. To sec these It Is estimated that 10,
000,000 "admissions" will bo ground in
through tho turning wheels of tho ten gate
stiles before they close finally.
What Is It all for? And does it pay? It
has been a matter of civic pride on San
Francisco's part that no financial aid has
been asked of the National Government, this
being the first case of this kind on record.
But where can tho return possibly come
from? And, If It does not come at all, Is the
claim justified that tho vast educational
value of this exposition will moro than offset
the cost? This Is the point .-most frequently
emphasized. This, therefore, is tho point
that demands somo critique. It is here there
como out many illustrations of our propen
sity ns a people. Are wo right or wrong In
estimating everything by mass, in trying to
learn by crowd pedagogy and In our hope
of gaining social, moral and all other kinds
of uplift by the convention method?
The Most for the Money
"Seventy Thousand Exhibits"? Yes. Well
and good, If any one could, or If every ono
did, look at ono upon nn average out of, a
thousand. Tho unpleasant fact Is that It Is "
not the palaces at all containing these that
aro most patronized, but what even tho boot
black at the St. Francis Hotel had enough
discernment to describe to me ns "That
Lousy Zone." Here troop the people, the
millions, tho myriads, day after day, to the
sound of tho flippant frivolity of tho barker
and the tout and In sight of side-shows that
are crudo beyond all credence.
"The Tower of Jewels"! also shouts tho
advertiser. "It is 535 feet high, hung with
100,000 crystal prism novagems, a greater
single work of art than all tho art works of
Greeco put together." That Is true, If one
Is content to supersede entirely tho quality
of abiding endurance in the particle by the
temporary effulgence for tho moment of a
tout ensemble. I am not. That Is the crown
ing effect of our people In all their passing
of Judgments. They leave out entirely tho
element of time. Grasping sb eagerly for the
thing that Is ephemeral, they shout: "Look!
We have attained. Wo have arrived." When,
as a( matter of fact, on tho morrow, all tho
things that they possessed today are as the
snows of yesterday. Tho heightening of
standards? By beholding what they mistake
for reality In tawdry Imitation? This Is what
they do In worshiping displays of things that
are but reproductions. If one likes paste
diamonds, tinsel trappings, papier mache
statuary, stucco structures, in twentieth-century,
near-medloval architecture; if he finds
enjoyment in opera bouffo entertainment and
edification In the fictitious and unreal, then,
of course, hero is the most for his money,
But, if this Is all, well, then, Is it cheap or
dear at the price?
Get Wise Quick
It Is reported that 822 conventions and con
gresses have chosen San Francisco as their
meeting place for 1916, These cover a wide
range of subjects, and it has been estimated
that tho attendance from delegates and their
families and friends interested in these alone
will reach a million. But is this herding to
gether of masses of people an Improvement
on, or oven a fit substitute for, Individual
endeavor by each one alone of this million
In any or all of eight hundred and twenty
two lines? Such people will not have "done"
the exposition; thoy will be dono by it. They
will bo done out, trying to see things of
which there are too many; they will be de
luded by mistaking their Joy for their dutyi
they will be self-deceived through estlmat
. lng quality by quantity, seeking education
In crowd pedagogy and attempting the im
ppwlble by the get-wlse-qulck method.
POOR JOHN POOR DOO
The lamentable case of John Poor Dog, an
Indian accused of attallng hogs, an offenae
to which he pleaded "not guilty," Is told thus
by an Oklaheman; John Poor Dog was ar

were his attorney and witnesses. "Got none,"
John Poor Dp said, "No wltneeirif" aald the

GEO. McANENY, MUNICIPAL PATRIOT
He Secured the Adoption of Transit Plans in Which the Future 1
Loomed as Large as the Present, and the Present as Large
as the Future A City Builder
By ELLIS RANDALL
THE announcement that George McAneny
has resigned his duties as president of
tho Board of Aldermen and member of tho
Board of Estimate
and Apportionment,
of tho City of New
York, and Is soon to
return to newspaper
work, calls attention
again to thoso serv
ices which have won
for him tho high
title of "municipal
patriot." Many of
us are far from,
being ardent wor
ahlppers of the
mighty city at the
foot of tho Hudson,
but nobody, let it be
hoped, is unwilling
to take his hat oft
to a man who Is In
WJ
GEOIiaU McANENY
love with his city, whether the city be Phil
adelphia, or Boston, or Chicago, or New York.
And that's tho kind of New Yorker that
George McAneny is McAneny, a, construc
tive leader In the new school of municipal
government. A remark that he made the
other day bears repetition, like many another
thing ho has said: "It Is to bo my good
fortune to exchange one field of public serv
ice for another, and my opportunities for
aiding the cause of good government will
not bo abridged."
His hobby Is city planning. Ho Is what
President Wilson would call a "forward-looking
man." Some parts of his program havo
received practical application, and somo
await tho future. McAneny will keep up his
good work. Not the least reason why New
York owes him a debt of gratltudo consists
In his achievement in tho development of the
metropolitan transit system. He Is the man,
moro than any other, who Is responsible
for tho solution of the grave problems re
specting transportation which havo become
acuto in the last few years. McAnony stood
out for a solution which should be as nearly
as possible permanent.
Efficiency by the Efficiency Route
"The first necessity," ho said, "is that
rapid transit lines should observe the proper
future development of tho city rather than
that they should bo laid out along routes
between present congested centres which
promise the largest Immediate prospects."
This view did not, of course, meet with much
enthusiasm on tho part of the operating com
panies, but it wr.s the view which won.
M6Aneny proved himself a peacemaker when
ho dictated the terms of the subway agree
ment, after rapid transit improvements had
been at a standstill for eight years, nnd
made both the city commissioners and the
railroad directors sign the document which
provided for Immediate relief and left a
broad basis for future development of both
tho city and the transit system. Ir this
plan every mile of the existing subway and
elevated lines was utilized and a hundred
miles of rapid transit traced out on tho mop
for early materialization.
His work as a. builder of tho future city
has been equally valuable In other directions
He has tackled with great success the many
problems connected with the height, Blze
and arrangement of buildings on Manhattan.
He has gone after the property owners who
were encroaching on tho city sidewalks. He
has busily widened and straightened old
streets and planned new ones, lie has made
good on hie Job, and aa borough president
and later a president of the Board of Alder,
men has given municipal administrator a
remarkable example of eJHclency and econ
omy, Hie appointments have always feeea
absolutely non-parttaaa. He himself, al
though a Democrat, haa never engaged ht
partisan politics,
Before Hkr eloctkm te a city oee Tde?
Aneny had already hH eed t imr
civic activities and had bee;ae known ae a
"reformer." It was a ifm at Which the
politicians looked askanee. What could a
"refornwr" know of the practical problems
of an administrative office? McAneny
bowed, them, In the matter of transit he
reveaJed a eiarUin- kaoerjadge of the eual-
32.
ttmmwL k iJ5foiCTiifti' . -. 'f m ,-r yhtJCVK all
neering and
financlal problems Involved.
And so It was with every other question with
which ho dealt. He always had the facts
and figures, and ho always had them thor
oughly organized nnd ready for immediate
use on any occasion. His memory, by the
way, is remarkable. Ho is a walking en
cyclopedia of New York history and munici
pal statistics, and when the charter Is un
der discussion ho takes the place of an Index.
His Favorite Study
Slight In build, Indeed, almost frail, he
looks tho scholar that ho Is. The subject
ho studies most is a very live one, tho sub
ject of municipal government; he was one
of the incorporators, by the way, of tho
Bureau of Municipal Research. Tho bottom
Idea In this subject, he believes, Is the wel
fare of the people. Acting on this principle
he has precipitated some hot fights. One of
theso followed his proposal of utilizing a
part of the city's electrical power equipment
during ldlo hours for tho manufacture of
artificial Ice to be sold at cost to the city
poor through tho municipal milk stations.
From the howls that went up one would have
supposed that McAneny was seeking to com
mit the city to an entire system of socialistic
municipal pwnershlp. To most of us tho
proposition may seem harmless enough, but
when a man's In politics tho good he tries
to" do makes headway over a rough road.
McAneny was born in Jersey City, Decem
ber 24, 1869, and is, therefore, in his 46th
year. Ho was graduated from tho public
schools and then became a newspaper re
porter. It was his work In the city room
and the enthusiasm of a city editor, as he
himself testifies, that started him to work
upon municipal problems, so his return to
Journalism Is not at all surprising.
