" Horn
N Ullhu Root told the Now York
Republican convention that tho detects
of the present Administration arise from tho
education nnd training ot the President and
from the genernl Incapacity of the Democracy
ho covered the ground. The rest wns elab
oration. If no grave Issues had arisen during his
term the President might have succeeded In
winning a reputation for sagacity nnd states
manship. But ho hns been confronted by a
great world crisis, lie Is slowly crumpling
under the burden. Mr. Bryan gave out In
ndvnnco of Mr. Wilson. The problems of In
ternational law which he had to solve wore
too big for him. The grave problems of states
manship found Mr. Wilson unptcpared to
comprehend them. Ho has chnnged his mind
both on the question of preparedness nnd on
tho tnrltf revision within a few months and
has completely reversed his attitude of a year
ago.
Yet forward-looking men knew eighteen
months before thnt tho Administration wns
headed In the wrong direction. They know
that the respect for rights of Amci leans nn
tho sea could not be effectively protected un
less the demands ot our State Department
were bncked by the determination of the
Government to enfotco them by arms If nec
essary. They knew that preparation for na
tional defense would serve in tho existing
emergency ns a warning to the belligerents
that we meant business. The belated con
version of Mr. Wilson from Ills beautiful plan
of a "citizenry In arms" to a plan for n
larger national army, a big reserve nnd a
navy equal to the best In the world will have
somo effect on the nations with whom we arc
In diplomatic correspondence. But if the
long series of notes had been accompanied
from the beginning with a vigorous campaign
for stronger military forces It Is not likely
that we would be still waiting for a settle
ment. The tariff, which wo are told was the most
perfect Congress had voted, has needed re
vision from the moment that the war began.
As In the rase of our diplomacy, forward
looking men were aware of the great com
mercial crisis that would follow the sjgnlng
of tho peace trentles. But the Democracy re
fused to admit that there was any peril. Its
leaders are just beginning to understand the
situation and nre floundering nrotind In nn
attempt to meet the crisis. The tariff com
mission, which they killed by starvation, is
to be revived In somo form, because they
have learned that if theie Is to be the proper
kind of a tailff law tho advice and assistance
of experts Is needed.
It has been in many ways a Government
of amateurs, learning the art of governing at
the expense of the nation.
The Demoeincy may blunder through and
letrleve some of the errots thnt It has made.
But Mr. Root left nn one In doubt of his be
lief thnt It had made so many mistakes that
whatever It might accomplish In tho lemain
der of Its lease of power It had forfeited the
confidence of the peonle. It is a minority
Government nt bfst. In power through a split
in the majority party. The majority of the
voters havo been opposed to It fiom the be
ginning. They have heen most tolerant of Its
mistakes. Through all Its stupid Mexican
policy they have hoped that something might
be done to Insure the protection of American
lives across the border. But conditions nre
growing worso there instead of better. They
have hoped that American lives could be pro
tected on the seas, but the submarine policy
of the Teutonic Allies remains app&iently un
changed. It Is inevitable that tho foreign policy of
Mr. Wilson shall be one of the burning issues
of the campaign. Mr. Root's speech has lifted
It Into prominence, lias challenged Its wisdom
and has indicted those In charge of it for
their weakness und vacillation.
Partisanship stops at salt water only where
there Is confidence in the efficiency of those
in charge of foreign relations. As the senti
ment of the nation finds expression during
the-next few months we shall discover the ex
tent to which It trusts Mr. Wilson's diplo
macy. We already know that it docs not
havo confidence in his economic theories.
A MILLION FOR TEMPLE
THIS campaign to raise a million dollars
as an endowment for Temple University
comes appropriately enough at the time
when Doctor Conwcll'fl blrthduy Is cele
brated. For It must be understood that the
tremendous burden which ho has borne for
thirty years cannot much longer be left on
his shoulders. Nor is It right that the burden
should remain a all.
Of the service which Temple has given and
continues to give there is little need to speak
In Philadelphia. The classes whieh meet at
night have centred attention on thlj depart
ment of tha university; but courses are con
ducted from nine in the morning, and In the
expansion of the curriculum Temple hag kept
pace with the best educational thought In the
country. It has lacked the "rah-rah spirit,
perhaps, but it has never auffered rom lack
of loyalty. Obviously the first demands for
the million will be upon graduates, und it
they understand themselves and realize what
Temple has done toe them, the response will
be generous.-'
Because thoe graduates have profited Phil
adelphia. Philadelphia can and must encour
age their efforts, giving s fully and freely
as, they give Uiemseive-s.

Dr. Alex. Hamilton in Philadelphia
Tuesday, .Itine 12. This seemed to me an
Idlu kind of a day, and "the heat began to
return. I prepared my baggage, intending to
morrow to proceed on my Journey toward Now
Vorli, whlvh city I pioposed to be my next rest
ing place. I bieakfnsteil abroad nnd dined at
the tavcin. wheie I met another Mtange medley
of cump.inj. anil among the lest a trader from
Jamaica, n man of an Inqulslthe disposition,
who seized mo for half nn hour. But I was
upon the lesorve.
I drank tea with Mrs. Cmne at li d'clock.
There was with her a masculine-faced ladv,
eiy much pitted with the smallpox. I 1.0011
found she was a Piesbyterlnn, and a strait
laced one, too. She dlscoveted my religion be
fore 1 spoke. "You, sir," said she, "were edu
cated a Presbyterian, and I hope jou .Tre not
like most of your countrymen of that persuasion,
who. when they come abroad In the world,
shamefully leave tho meeting anil go to church."
I told her that I had dealt impartially betwixt
both s'neo 1 came to the plnce, for I had gone
to neither. "That's still worse." said she.
I found this lady pretty well versed in the
church history of .Maryland. "I am surprised,"
said she, "how ,our (.Joicrnment can suffer
such a rascally clergy. Maryland has becomo
a rcceptnclc and, an it were, a common shore
for .ill the filth anil scum of that order. 1 am
Informed that tailors, cobblers1, blacksmiths and
such fellows, when they cannot live like gentle
men by their tiades In that place, go homo to
take ordeis of s-ome latltudinarlan bishop and
return learned pienchers, setting up for tcach
eis of the people that have more need of
school ng themselves,Uut that might bear some
excuse if their lives weio excmplaty nnd their
morals good: but many of them nre moro com
pletely wicked than' the most piofllgate and
mennest of the laity. It Is 'a shame that Mich
fellows should be Inducted into good livings,
without any fuilher ceiemony or inquiry nbout
them than a lecommendutlon from Lord Balti
moie." I beard this long hniangue with patience nnd
attempted to speak In defense of our clergj.
but th's lad.'s instructions bote such credit with
her that she would not be contradicted. I
quoted the maxim 'of Constantino the Gieat,
who used to say that when a clergyman of
fended he would cover him with his cloak:
but her charity for the order 1 found did not
extend so far, f-o I allowed her to run, on in
tli! .v Kind of ciitlc.il declamation till her stock
was exhausted.

MILITANT PRIEST'S
FAITH IN AMERICA
Archbishop Munclelcin an Enthu
siast for Our Democracy Showed
Politician the Door His
Remarkable Career
TT WAS a foregone conclusion when
tho
JL Rt. Rev. George W.
Mtindelcin wns ap
pointed Archbishop of Chicago that his
presence In the Middle West would soon be
come generally known, but, of course, it was
hardly expected that he
would come into tho pub
lic eye through tho mo-
dlum of a poison plot of '
which he was ono of the '
Intended victims. The
man's record is notable,
and gives splendid prom
ise for the future, but
that might well bo ex
pected from the remark
able personality with
which he Is endowed. It
niEAltcHinsiloi- S f particular interest
to Pennsylvanians that ho received part of
his early education at St. Vincent's Seminary,
nt Beatty, In Westmorelnnd County.
Ordained to tho priesthood only 20 years
ago ho Is today the youngest Archbishop lit
America, If not in the world, nnd stands In
direct line for tho ted hat of a. Cardinal. Ho
Is 43 yenrs old, and has received many of his
very high and very numerous honors at nn
exceptionally early ngo In each instance. Ho
was the youngest man to receive a diploma
from Manhattan College. At the age of .17 he
was the youngest bis-hop in the United States.
Force of character and democratic principles
and practice are strongly evident In tho
career of'the Archbishop.
His Americanism dates back several gen
erations. His grandfather, ho Is pioud to
say, nnswered Lincoln's first call for volun
teers and gave his life for the country In one
of the first battles of the Civil Wur. George
W. Mundeleln was born on the upper East
Side of New York city in 1872. At school ho
was a brilliant pupil. Ho was offeied a cadet
ship at Annapolis, but the cull of the church
had enteied into his soul, nnd he entered
Manhattan Collego to study for tho priest
hood. In 18S9 he was ready for oidlimtion,
but was only 17 years old, and, therefore, too
young. Ho continued his studies, and In IS!):.
wns sent by Bishop McDonnell to the Urban
College of tho Propaganda nt Rome. Return
ing to America he took charge of a parish
in Brooklyn. Honors came to him rapidly.
Chancellor of tho Dloceso of Brooklyn, mon
slgnor and domestic prelate to tho Pope,
auxiliary bishop these appointments tell but
a small part of the story. Ho Is, by the way,
tho only American censor of the Liturgical
Academy, and the only American member of
tho Academy of the Arcadia, which Is a very
ancient and exclusive association of learned
men specially interested In tine literature and
In purity of Junguage.
Archbishop as nn Artist ,
He Is n man of conspicuous ability and tal
ent in a number of directions. As priest; ns
chancellor nnd as bishop he has proven him
self nn able financier and a keen man of busi
ness. A prominent banker once remarked:
"That man's talents will be wasted ns a
bishop. He ought to have been a bank presi
dent." But tho Archbishop Is nlso an artist to
his flntr tips, with unerring taste and a pro
found lovo for the beautiful. In Brooklyn
he built the Queen of All Saints' Church,
which has been called the most perfect gem
of pure Gothic architecture In America. Its
fourteen windows of mosaic colored glass
are hardly to be equaled on thissldo of tha
Atlantic. They contain Yho Blblo'stpry.ln 260'
panels. The whole .ch'uroh was 'desfgnej by
Bishop Mundeleln, who ulsn selected 'the. sub
jects for the windows nnd did much pf.tKe
work of designing. This pile of lacelike stone
and gorgeous glass is a monument to his
genius as an artist. )
Tho Archbishop Is a very forceful speaker, I
.and his remarks .always attract attention be
cause of their brlgjpality and aggressiveness.
A profound 8choat-,"hft is deeply read In tho
literature of many' lands,' and Is able to con
verse freely n at least five languages. He
has been called niititapt. A few years ago
a certain rich aid influential politician quar
reled with a priest and stirred up a good deal
of trouble (n tlie parish. The trustees were
holding a meeting jto consider the renjoval of

and when the politician responded with a d-
tildy of confidence, In his own Dowera the
Bishop tojd, him to leavo the room- The poll-
tlclan balked. Tae Bishop rose slowly Xrota
NOT A LEG LEFT TO STAND ON
his chair, looked tho man squarely In tho
eye, pointed nt tho door nnd said, "I told
you to go!" Tho politician looked at the
Bishop, who stood there six feet in height
and well proportioned, though slender. Ho
slunk out of tho room. The trustees began to
explain how powerful the man was In poli
tics, but the Bishop cut them short
"Politics and religion don't mix."
That Is purt of tho Archbishop's faith. Ho
has never mixed In politics himself. His
friends perhaps know what party tlckot he
votes, but It Isn't public knowledge.
Poor Boys' Opportunities
An American by birth nnd education, as
were his parents before him, and tho grnnd
son ot a naturalized citizen who gave his
life for tho Union, Archbishop Mundcleln Is
enthusiastically American. "We all have
equal chances In this country," ho says, "In
spite of tho talk about tho corporations de
stroying tho poor boy's chances. The poor
boy can succeed as readily as the rich boy,
nnd does so much oftener." AVhen appointed
Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn six years ago
lie gave this message to the school children:
"It Is work, oven moro than brains, that
counts. A great recommendation for hard
work Is thnt it keeps us out of mischief, Tell
the children that every great nnd good thing
In tho world has been accomplished by per
severance nnd hard work."
Tho Archbishop In personal appearance Is
tall nnd slender. Ills nose Is large nnd aqui
line, his eyes dark nnd sometimes twinkling,
sometimes flashing; his forehead high and
broad, his hair dark nnd closo cropped, but
getting bald on top. His face is both youth
fill and strong. He cnrrles himself ulwnys
erect and Is fond of long walks. Ho tramps
about the streets and country roads, some
times nlone and often with a companion. For
lie likes companionship, ns well as his books
und his ecclesiastical tasks
CIVIC ADVERTISING
Til an article In the Kve.vino Luoonn some
time ngo a prominent citizen of Detroit de
clared that Detroit had been "made" by adver
tising. But there are varieties of methods and
other communities that have profited by pub
licity. Tho town of Quitman, Brooks County,
Geoigla, has been pointed out ns Illustrating
tho new spiilt of the South nnd tho beneficial
effects of Intelligently conducted civic adver
tising. When Quitman readied a population of
about CO00, It developed, as a heritage from Its
country village days. a. self-dcprpclatlve com
munity spirit which manifested Itself In "knock
ing" tho town. Tho shortcomings and back
wardness of the municipality woro paraded be
fore citizens und visitors, while Its advantages
nnd excellencies were lost sight of. To combat
this spirit, the Brooks County Industrial Club
wns formed. Although composed almost en
tirely of Quitman business men. the club was
named In honor of the county because there
was a general agreement that the county was
more piogresslvo than the city. The club then
set out to make the most of the advantages
of tho community and to advertise Brooks as
the banner county of tho State.
Bacon and hum curing by individual farmers
on a large scale was an asset peculiar to the
county A farmers' club had originated the
custom of building small storage plants on the
farm, which vein used in stoilng surplus hams
nnd bacon for the market. For 23 years the
county has sold more bacon than nny other
county In the State. To advertise this and to
ring me oilier nuvuiuusea ui me community
before the townspeople and tho State, an animal
Industry convention, the first In Georgia, was
held under the auspices of the-Induatilal Club.
There were more thnn 10,000 visitors. Hundreds
of Hosts made by tho farmers themselves, de
pleting the superiority of the county's hams,
thoroughbred live- stock and food products of
all kinds, nppeured In a parade, A second con
vcntlon of tho same sort aroused even greater
interest. Towns within a radius of 100 miles
were asked to Join In the pageant, and the
Georgia State Chamber of Commerce arranged
nn automobile tour from other sections of the
State. More than 20,000 persons witnessed the
pageant.
