P. B. ANDERSON. Secty. Why Halt, Unless We Have To? It la very easy to remain at peace during prosperous times, but times change, and I (eel greatly impressed that the unparalleled development of our country and 1U prosperity hare been ao extraordinary that It undoubtedly time to call a halt.

August Belmont at a Carnegie Industrial Peace Sociable in New York. This' 5k one of those solemn sayings that seem wise at the moment to those who say them. The plain truth is that a nation which is really in the race of life and running it prosperously never halts in it, no matter, what oracular warnings may be trumpeted at it. Nor is there any reason Jt should. Progress is progress, and the gains a in- vm trains tor some- Ul Jjiuaprinj body.

The fortune that tbe poor man wins in the days of prosperity is all a gain. And even though he spends- it soon it serves to put ahead his son, his daughter, and himself in the future race of life. Every mile we lay behind us along the road of prosperity is a mile gained. Individuals. may fall on the course, but the nation as a whole has covered that mile once for all.

Though the fruits of success may slip from the hands that grasped them first, even then they are not lost, but merely passed over to others. The thing to do, and the only sane thing to do, is to prosper as much as we can while we can to "make bay while the sun shines," as the old proverb runs. When the clouds gather, and obstacles arise in the road, and we are halted, then, of course, the task is to pause and remove he obstacles. It is both foolish and futile to imagine that by halting before we reach them the obstacles will be made less or will disappear. They will be there just the same.

These are the' facts that make such utterances as. that of Belmont "mere sound, signifying, nothing." and not counsels of strength and prudence, but counsels of weakness and folly. The New and Impulsive East." The union of the Congregational, United Brethren, and Methodist Protestant churches, formally "completed in this city last month, is discussed at some length in the Boston Transcript by the Bev. William E. Barton, pastor of the First Congregational church of Oak Park.

Of course, like all arrangements of the kind, the union was a compromise. The United Brethren gave up their bishops as a clerical order. The Congrega-tionalists gave up any guarantee of "the complete autonomy of the local church." They submit themselves to a national council with legislative powers. "All three churches subordinate. 'their historical and doctrinal creeds to one of w.r.

nt faith IS V- 114 Y( I a w.m wm in which the "social service? notion is prominent. The union is to be known as "the United Churches, Comprising the Congregational Churches, the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, and the Methodist Protestant Church. As this title is obviously too long for practical use, it may be said that all three have given up heir historic names as bodies, though their congregations will doubtless continue to be known locally aa they were before. What has been gained by the anion? Barton admits that it is very little in the way of what is urged in favor of such movements by their advocates. The fields of the three denominations he says, "are so nearly distinct that there is-practically no rivalry and entirely no friction; so that the gain to be made in the way of reducing duplicated effort or 'allaying strife is practically nothing; but, on the other hand, where the does touch, it is in somewhat distinct spheres where each policy is better adapted to its work than the other would be.

For these reasons, saya Dr Barton, many of the practical laymen, whose first word was in favor of the union, on mature thought -found that it offered little of real gain. They did not therefore oppose, bnt still. favored it, not because they believed it would accomplish much, but rather "on the ground that the matter having come up it would be a disgrace for any three or even two Christian bodies to remain apart after finding that it was really possible to unite." V- In other words, it would seem from "Dr. Barton's analysis that the three churhes united not ao much to secure any real benefits as out of fear of what might be said if they did not unite. Dr.

Barton's statement Is avowedly from the Western viewpoint and an ef fort to present It to the East. It may be worth while even as It is, he says; "certainly it is better than to have stood out on sectarian pvejudice or pride of history. But the churches of tbe new and Impulsive East will need to exercise some patience with the conservative, people of the West if they come somewhat -slowly to an approval and understanding of what has been done. The new and impulsive East! To the general public the new and true distinction between 'the ideals of the Mississippi vall.ey and of the Atlantic coast which Dr. Barton has thus made is perhaps the most valuable product of the union of these churches.

For it is true that in other matters, as well as in religion, the East is coming to seem to the West decidedly impulsive. If Mr. Loeb' Continues to Hear Things. There are certain things, we know, which are almost too delicate to be alluded to save with bated'breath, bnt, nevertheless, in view of recent revelations' made by a certain in Washington, it is utterly impossible to avoid looking forward to the appearance of something like this: WASHINGTON. D.

As Private Secretary Loeb was coming over from tbe Capitol this afternoon his attention was attracted to an altercation In progress between rival newsboys. Some of these were carrying certain New York newspapers which have been under suspicion and surveillance of late, and. some were carrying Philadelphia and Baltimore newspapers which, in all probability, will be placed under suspicion and surveillance from this time on. On of the newsboys was aaying: "Ah. come off; w'ea we git ready to plunge Inter this her conspiracy, me editor 'II put up J11.7SJ.0U).

I beerd him aay so hit-self." Gee." said another of the boys, and one who carried papers that were notable for their florid complexion, "that ain't nuthin' to wot me boss. Mr. Hoist. 11 do w'en he gits Interested. I beerd 'em talking around the offlc a couple of nights ago.

and tbe string man of the mailing-room said that Mr. Hoiet would put up ISS.OOO.ftOO to beat Teddy. If necessary." "Oh, cried the third, who seemed to be from Philadelphia, "yus fellow make ma tired. Yuse ain't got no money to spend. Jus' wait till tbe conspiracy gets good an' hot.

and Pennsylvania falls In line! I know one feller in our ttate that promises to put up 1400,000,000 to be distributed among the newsboys for hollering 'All about the latest pipe dream In Washington. Private Secretary Loeb waited to hear ao mora, but rushed, etc. Or like this: As-Private Secretary Loeb waa making some small purchases In a Pennsylvania avenue shop this afternoon he overheard a conversation between two ladies, evidently tbe wives of men In position and power, which' convinced him that one of the most terrible conspiracies of the season ta now. brewing. One waa saytng: "Well, Kate, you know the way of It is this, if John cannot manage that little matter, we will Just be compelled to give up our Norfolk trip." "You mean that $2.000,000 "Tea, If those people who sre getting resdy to buy up all the fountains of public thought and opinion in the nation, with a view to bringing about a change in 1908.

do not come down with the money, it Is good -by to any pleasure for me." "Don't worry. Emma." said the other; "Charles was saying to me last night that Senator Tillman, John D. Rockefeller. Eugene Debs. John P.

Morgan. E. K. Dunne. Andrew Carnegie," Tom Watson.

E. H. Harriman, Tom Johnson, and William Randolph Hearst bad agreed to put up $8,000,000 each for the purpose of undermining tho Pri ts te Secretary Loeb waited to hear no more, but rushed, etc Or like this: As Private Secretary Loeb was depositing hi savings in one of the banks today he could not avcid overhearing one of the clerks aaying to another: "And ao the old man la going down to New York?" "Yes, he's going to attend a conference between Governor Folk of Missouri, Bill Derery. Mayor Schmttx of San Francisco. President Butler of Columbia university, William Jennings Bryan, Judge Alton B.

'What are tbey going to confer about?" don't know, only I suspect from what I beard th Janitor aay this morning that tbey are going to subscribe 200.000,000 for the pur-poa of Pri vat Secretary Loeb waited to hear 'no more, but- rushed, etc If it'be contended that Private Secretary Loeb could not possibly hear such things as these, then, the question is, How in the world did he hear the things that he already says he heard? Birmingham's Gun Trade Declines. England Is experiencing another "object lesson in the virtues of free trade, as it results not according to the fore-easts of schoolmen buf according to pounds and pence. The gun trade of Birmingham is steadily declining, and the business men of Chamberlain's home city are asking why. They have a pretty clear notion of what is the operating cause.

Figures of manufacture and sale may not be beautifully logical, but they cannot be slighted. In 150 England exported arms to the value of 236,331, while Belgium in that same year exported arms to the value of 197,316. By 1900 England's exportation had decreased to 193,835, while that of Belgium had increased to 719,518. In 1S60 there were 6.S40 gunsmiths In Birmingham; fn 1906 there were only 4,000. Looked -at from another angle: England thirty years ago had 50 per cent of tbe world's trade in firearms; today England has less than 10 percent.

Belgium holds today 65 per cent of the world's trade. Moreover. Great Britain herself is one of Belgium's best markets for firearms. The gunsmiths of Birmingham, those that remain, are as capable of skill as the gunsmiths of Liege. The fault lies not with them, but with Parliament, which protects the land owned by the British lawmaking class, but refuses to protect the home market in the interest of the producing class.

r- "Xo country," say the Birmingham arms manufacturers In a brochure recently Issued by them, "has such natural and organized facilities for the rapid production of firearms as England possesses, and in no oreign'eenter is the industry so heavily handicapped by legislation as it is at Birmingham. 'In plain English, certain foreign states are more or less successfully robbing Great Britain of her trade, and in our opinion this is a matter of as vital importance as robbing her of her territory. American manufacturing is not languishing for want of adequate protection under onr laws. There axe those who declare that American manufacturing would not languish were the protection not quite so adequate. But if our protection laws do err, which we do not admit, they err, nevertheless, on the safe aide.

The number of American gunsmiths, or of any sort of craft smiths, is not diminishing on this side of the water. Practical men in England are demanding that the decline in production induced by a doctrinaire-made free trade regime be checked by the passage of fostering laws. Theoretical men in America are demanding that the expansion in production induced by forty THE IXTJSR-. OCEAN, 6UDAT MORNING, APEIL 7, 100T. yeara of an expedient and utilitarian high tariff be checked by a lowering custom duties.

Which indicates that it is England that will eventually come to an American protective system, not America that is in any danger of approximating British free trade notions. We have never allowed our doctrinaires, our schoolmen, and our political economists to dominate our national policy, and Great Britain Is repenting that she ever allowed hers to dictate free trade to her. The One Great Poet in the World. The one great poet still living in this world has reached "Pier Xo. 70," as Mark Twain styles three score and ten.

Goldwin Smith in a moment of disgust once said that he expected to see the last poet, the last woman, and the last horse before he died. Cheer up. Professor Smith, you are not dead yet, and Algernon Charles Swinburne is still alive! It is in the nature of a shock to be compelled to think of Swinburne as 70 years old. lie is always young and keen, and wild in fancy's eye, as Shelley is, as Keats is. When first his splendor burst -upon the with an intensity that confounded where it did not stun, bis image as an auburn haired, brilliant eyed youth was struck enduringly upon the piblic memory and aa such it has He seemed too much inspired for this, world, too maddened by the loveliness of hia own music, and perhaps it was expected he would perish in the first flash of his powers, as the race of great lyric poeta from Catullus to De Musset.

have been in the habit of doing. Swinburne has added to the lyrist's fateful heritage a length of The group, to whom spiritually he belonged died young; the group to whom he was allied by 'circumstance time Tennyson, Browning, Matthew-Arnold, Victor Hugo all enjoyed a goodly span of life some attained great age. But unlike them Swinburne has not in the' years suffered He was a Greek in beauty, a man of the Renaissance in taste, a mind of utterly modern cast, when first he wrote, and he has not changed his. complexion to this day. Tennyson, who earlier in life shared the scientific skepticism of his time, deepened into Christian faith as he approached the grave.

'Browning, who has given us those pagan appreciations of the Renaissance by which his fame will best endure, suffered in middle life what might almost be described as an evangelistical conversion. Matthew Arnold, whose soul was a battle ground between what he has himself styled "Hellenism and was always a hybrid, intellectually and spiritually. Bnt Swinburne is and was a free, unblushing pagan, a Hellene by temperament and by conviction. Beauty was his worship, the gods of Greece were his deities, and the whole devotion of his soul is expressed in his own matchless lines: As my soul has been dutiful only to the. Cod, most beautiful, lighten thou Aa I swim through the long, dim rollers with eyelids uplift from the sea.

Swinburne has many. -times been criticised as lacking id thought. The lack constitutes one of his virtues as a mighty lyric poet. Who desires the nightingale to preach? Who demands a dissertation upon life from a poet, such as Pindar, drunk with the glory of Olympian games, or Catullus, ravished with -the charm of Lesbia'a face, or Keats, musing upon the figure of a Grecian vase? True, Swinburne has written dramas; but as dramas they would be for gotten were it not for tbe lyrical flights which they contain. What is the value of "Atalanta in Calydon except for the splendid choric chants, such, for instance, as that beginning with the immortal lines: Before the beginning of years There came to th making of man Time with the gift of tears.

Grief with th class that ran. He wrote also the longest dramatic trilogy In the language. But as a human picture, a portrayal of character, as a drama, In short, his "Mary Stuart" does not compare with "The Queen's Qhueir" of Maurice Hewlett. Swinburne is a singer. That is all he is.

It should be enough, seeing that as singer he ranks with Marlowe, nay with Catullus. Such lines as these he has penned: In a coign of to cliff between lowland and highland, At the sea-down's edge between windward and lea. Walled round with rock, as an inland Island, The ghost of a garden fronts the sea. Can mere words be more beautiful? Pronunciation by Legislation. Inspired, no doubt, by illustrious example but warned by the illustrious failure to reform English spelling, some state Legislatures contemplate taking in hand the matter of the pronunciation of English and have commenced by solemnly, decreeing the exact manner of pronouncing the style and title of their own states.

Illinois is now officially Illinoy; Missouri, Missoory. A Des Moines paper is now agitating for a declaration of public safety and human rights to the effect that Iowa shall be ycleped I-oway, while it is understood that the next soulful effort to which the gigantic intellect of Senator Beveridge will be dedicated is that important reform whereby Indiana shall be Injianny. to the confusion of the culture of Indianapolis and the glory of the plain people.who till the Wabash fields. W. J.

B. himself, moreover, it is said, contemplates establishing the cornice upon his career and winding up In a blaze of splendor by advocating the enactment of a statute making Nebraska into Xe-braws-kaw, either after the model of Arkansaw or else to please the ear of the frienda he made at King Edward's court." These, no doubt, are laudable endeavors "to. make the punishment fit the crime." Legislatures could be worse employed and in fact are now worse employed. Their legislative phonetics do no harm to "solid interests or to prosperity's wages, which is more than can be said for some of their recent "government-activity': piecea of legislation. If tbey sin against the English language and the vocal throat, the sin is venial, since the language has survived many a crime done upon it, and human vocalization will continue aa various.

and fearful as it has ever been. WV surmise that despite legislation the Yankee will refuse to pronounce Missouri Missoory or to quit' calling Montana Montaner, that despite Senator Beveridge the Indianapolis salons will insist upon Indiana instead of In-jianny, that Ne-brawa-kaw stands as little chance of general adoption as does, the double money standard, that to the end of time there will be those who will say She-ka-go, others who will say Shy-ksw-go, others still who will say Shu-k e-go, although all who write will write Chicago. The Indian in Politics. Oklahoma will be the first American state to have at its beginning any large part of ita voters of a race other than the. Caucasian.

The fact that Indians with full rights of citizenship are a large element in Oklahoma's population has given its organization as a state an unwonted interest. How would the Indiana, there given for tbe first' time' powerful voice in government, use 'their The record of Oklahoma's constitutional convention, which has just; adjourned, shows that the Indians there need no tutoring in practical politics. They proved that they knew what they-wanted and howiejret They showed political efficiency every step' along the road. The Indian delegates controlled th; convention, shaped its work, and made the constitution which it has submitted to the people. The Indian communities of Oklahoma seem to have been very much more alive than the white to the importance of the convention All the newspaper correspondents agree that the Indian delegates averaged higher than the white.

Most of the white communities seem to have sent to the convention men of the mediocre grade that get elected to state Legislatures in "off years. The Indian communities sent their best men, those most highly educated and experienced in affairs. The Indiajn delegates were strictly up-to-date in their political ideas. in some respects rather alarmingly so. The constitution they framed for the new state contains about all the "reform" ideas going.

It has been well described aa "a bundle of panaceas, and as "a terrible example of the mania for constitutional regulation in ita most virulent form." Here is a summary of its principal pro visions: The initiative and referendum: tbe direct primary for all trices; prohibition of the liouor traffic; partial woman suffrage; cent railroad fares; railroads prohibited from owning aay productive' agency of a natural commodity, such as mines or forests; corporations prohibited from owning land not actually uaed in their business or from dealing in real estate outside of Incorporated cities: "stock watering" prohibited; corporation books to be opea for Inspection at all segregated mineral lands in th old Indian' territory to remain state property; commissions to deal with charities, labor and arbitration, insurance, railroads, agriculture, oil and gas wells, coal and other mines, prohibition of the marriage of negroes and white, with definition of the term compulsory and separate school systems; constitution may be amended at aay time -by majority vote. The last provision is one that compels admiration, in view of some of the others. It is a frank admission that the; constitution makers are not under the delusion that they are so wise that their work cannot be improved. It leaves the pevple of Oklahoma free, whenever they reach the conclusion that their constitution regulates things altogether too much, to modify its provisions as they please with small ceremony. The statesmanship of the Indians who made the Oklahoma constitution would seem to savor rather strongly of blind devotion to academic theory and to have been swayed overmuch by the radical tendencies of the day.

But of their polit- ical efficiency there is no doubt. Though an actual minority, of the new state's population, they copsidered what they wanted, made up their minds, went straight after it, and got it. On the practical side of politics it is plain that these Indians are fully developed. The suggeston that the prisoners at Joliet be employed in building a new penitentiary should have something more than ordinary import for Joliet, provided Joliet wants to get away from the connection. It might be possible to build the new penitentiary somewhere else.

It must be. a aource of satisfaction to Chief Collins to consider that his successor is almost certain to go through practically the 'same kind of experience. All polic superintendents keep scrapbooks filled with the same character of scraps Let us be fair to Pittsburg and admit that perhaps if money came aa easily to people in other cities they might not be much better. It does not much matter how the kiss originated; take it all around, it' is all right when it isn't abused. What's in a name? Not much.
