New York is the metropolis of the nation—great in business, in polities, religion and in many other respects. It is the port to which the nations of the world come to reach America, but New York is also the port in which humanity and all traces of humanity are lost. = In the last three months of 1913 nearly one thousand were re- ported as missing, nearly four hundred women. In addition to the above the police were requested to look for 426 who it was supposed came to New York and were then lost. Of the large number miss- ing only 194 were found. What hecame of all those missing ? Have the white slave cav- erns swallowed up a number? Has the underworld become richer? Has the sea swallowed up some? More than a thousand persons are not accounted for in the city of New York in three months! r | Mexico’s Struggle. \ * That downfall in Mexico of Huerta of which so much has been said and so many prophecies have been made has not yet material- ized. Guns and munitions of war are shipped in from many coun- tries and the slaughter continues. The pation, we are told, that has the money can carry on war, and the nation that has no money must be at peace. Mexico is impoverished as a republic and yet the killing takes place, and no nation has yet said with emphasis that the warfare must cease. The truth is there is only one nation that can take that attitude and that is our own country. War is to be avoided if ‘ possible, but the world has learned that the struggles of one nation affeet all nations, and the sufferings of one people touch the nations of the earth. What the national government will do is not known to the public. Mexico is at our door. The groans and sor- rows of those neighbors are heard throughout the earth, while sympathy is extended the real help is being withheld. i Penrose, the Head of the Party. Senator Penrose has his hands full in differentfways. Only a few years ago he was the unquestioned boss politically in Pennsyl- vinia. He held the Republican party in the hollow of his hand. Those who disputed his word or questioned his authority were crushed. If there was strong opposition in his own party, he used to his advantage a corrupt element of the Democratic party. Times have changed, however, and he is no longer the strong man to control all who call themselves Republicans, and the reorganized Democracy is no longer responding to his beck. His announcement to succeed himself as U. S. Senator has been received complacently by his opponents, and his effort to get a strong candidate for Gov- ernor, to wear a Penrose collar, has not met with a hearty response by such a candidate, nor has he been able to instil much courage Pennsylvania will hardly yield her interests another six years to Senator Boise Penrose in the United States Senate. If the parties had the wisdom to place the best men on their tickets—men of ability, broad-guage, clean, men whom every party man could honestly land, men for whom no apology would be needed, all would feel that a new era was here angl great opportu- nities in the future for the state and nation, making its influence felt in every hamlet, penetrating every hill and dale where the free born, good thinking men and women of Pennsylvania dwell, proud of their representatives and glorying in her institutions. * Prejudices. There are many people in this age, as in ail ages, whose prin- cipal business seems to be to look at the differences in political tenets, religious creeds and daily practices, and by emphasizing these differences the natural outcome is to arouse'prejudices which are detrimental to the well being of men. The mass of humanity is honest, whether in politics or religion. Much that helps to form convictions is the training an@ environ- ment. If it is granted that the mass is right at heart, then men are honest in their ideas concerning political economy, as to the dom in non-essentials, unity in essentials and charity in all things. From the time of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson our nation was divided into two great political divisions, but each interested in our country’s growth and development, yet each striving to perpetuate its particular idea of government. In religion we have the same struggle going on. From the time of the founder of Christianity the contest was between the ola Jewish religion and Christianity, then the Pauline and Petrine phases of Christianity, then the Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic controversies, then Protestantism and Catholicism, then the various divisions of Christianity, in their circumscribed views, making then, at times very narrow and intolerant. Every religious body has it: great strength, but is also afflicted with its weaknesses. The bes: service that can be rendered to the cause of the promotion of the brotherhood of man is not to emphasize forever the differences bu. to emphasize the unity in essentials. Humanity is not to be gath ered around Martin Luther, Ulric Zwingli, John Calvin, John Wesley, Simon Menno or the Pope of Rome, but arounc Jesus Christ, the very foundation of Christianity. eee @ommereial.
