Many years ago Byron prodded
Greek effeminacy in the famous
lines
You have the Pyrrhic dance yet;
Where is the Pyrrhic phaIanx gone?
OF two such lessons why forget
The nobler and the manlier one? 20
Apparently the spirit of the war
riors of old Greece has now had a
revival, for there has been a change
of ministry in Athens and a large
popular majority has declared in
favor of offensive measures against
Turkey Such a war would meet
with large sympathy in the western
world, without much regard to the
Justice or injustice of the immediate
quarrel. A romantic haze has
always hung over the country of
Lycurgus and Pericles, of Plato and
Socrates, and the world loves the
Greek with a kindly and harmless
sentimentalism.
The naval force of Greece is supe-
rior to that of Turkey. but not so
much so as the land force of Turkey
is superior to that of Greece. And
vet there was time when Greeks
had no fear of numbers, as Thermop-
yl9 and Marathon can tell
Then too the nations of western
Europe would be somewhat inclined
to give aid and comfort to Greece in
a struggle with Turkey. The Turks
are waiting. as did the Moors in old
Grenada for the expulsion that is
inevitable from their European pos
sessions and it is not impossible that
some of the great powers might well
come the shaking of the Ottoman
strength by their little neighbor on
the Hellenic peninsula.
Should the war begin the school
boy will take a livelier interest in
his reading of the exploits of the
Greeks of old.

THE SOUTHERN QUESTION.

The November New England
Magazine presents two of the most
valuable of recent contributions to
the discussion of the southern ques-
ton, in the articles by Rev. A. D..
Mayo and Prof c. H. Levermore
Mr.. Mayo's analysis of conditions
which obtain at the South is the
result of wide experience acquired
through his educational work in
that section during the last twelve
years. Prof Levermore's paper is a
strong and sensible presentation Of
facts and conclusions reached during
recent visit to Virginia and North
Carolina.
We shall not attempt to trace here
the line of argument in these articles.
Every American citizen should read
the articles themselves and realize
therefrom how grave and how diff
cult is this greatest of all our nation
al problems. The refrain of both
papers is, Educate, educate, edu
cate" and Mr.. Mayo's sharp arraign-
ment of the United States senate for
its failure to pass the educational
bill is calculated, backed as it is by
cogent argument, to make converts
to a belief in the wisdom of Senator
Blair's pet measure, which we have
been too much accustomed to look
upon as the hobby of crank.
Let these articles be read and
pondered, as well as the editorial
comments of the magazine on the
federal election bill

HENRY NJ. DEXTER.

Congregationalism has lost, in the
death of the Rev. Henry M. Dexter
D. D., one of its foremost men, one
who best represented the conserva
tive element of the church and whose
acquaintance with Congregational
church history, polity, and theology
was more thorough than that of
almost any other of the church's
many scholarly divines. AS editor
of the Congregationalist he exercised
a wide influence, and with the assis-
tance of an able business and editorial
staff he made that paper power Ill
the religious world. He was an able
and voluminous writer, having pub
lished many books on Congregation
alism, in addition to his editorial
work. AS leader of the conserva-
tive thought of the church he was
pronounced opponent of Andoverian-
ism, but he did not in the affairs of
the American Board give entire sup
port to the home secretary, DIR.
Alden, in whose methods he saw
danger to the work of the Board.
Henry Martyr Dexter was born.
at Plympton, Mass, August 13,
1921, and graduated at Yale in
1910 and at Andover in 1914. From
that year until 1S49 he was pastor
of church in Manchester, N. H., and
from the latter year until 1867 he
guided the destinies of the Berkeley
street church in Boston. From 1859
to 1865 he was one of the editors of
the Congrega tional Quarterly and in
1867, he became editor-in-chief of
the Congregationalist, consolidated
in that year with the old Recorder.
At this time he resigned his pastor
ate and the remaining twenty-three
years of his life have been spent in
his honorable editorial service. The
degree of doctor of divinity was
given him by Iowa college in 1865
and by Yale in 1880 Yale also gave
him the degree of LII. D.
He was a man of tall and impress
sive figure, his appearance bearing
the stamp at once of the scholar and
the man of action. He gave much
attention to the history of the Ply
mouth Pilgrims and had made MANY
journeys to England and Holland to
secure material for an exhaustive
history of these ancestors of New
England Congregationalism He
has left much of the work upon this
history, with papers and memoran-
da, in such shape that it is thought
it can be edited in complete form and
thus a great work, to which he had
given much of his best thought and

LOCAL NOTICES.
A brilliant Exhibition.

The Mechanics Fair at Boston is
now at the high tide of success. The
attendance steadily increases and on
some days the Exhibition Building,
big as it is, is crowded with visitors,
parts of New England. But this is
not surprising, for it is generally adj
mitted that the present fair is in
many respects the most brilliant
exhibition ever held in New England.
With a vast array of machinery, a
superb display of manufactured
articles, a notable art collection, and
concerts by famous bands, there is
an aggregate of attractions that
would well repay a journey of a
thousand miles.

THE SUPREME COURT.

The supreme court is a burning
issue at Montpelier this year. The
Legislature, in consonance with Its
peculiar economic ideas, appears to
think that seven judges are neces-
sary and that the judges even now
are overworked 1t is well known
to lawyers, if not to the people and
the Judges, that law business IN this
state is decreasing. In most OF the
counties the terms are growing
shorter and the cases of great impor-
tance are comparatively few. The
plain fact seems to be that the JUS
tees of the supreme court would
have a comparatively easy time II
they would confine their efforts to
thelegitimate business of their Judge
ships and not attempt to serve as
corporation directors, trustees and
executors, and engage in other
avocations, with which a judge jeal-
Gus of the dignity of his judicial posi-
ton should have nothing to do.
Several of the judges are thus en-
gagged outside of their official work
and the bill should be promptly
passed prohibiting them from hold
ing such positions in connection
with enterprises, corporations and
property within the state. This
measure is eminently just and proper
and would afford in large measure
the necessary relief for our over
worked supreme bench This done
six judges could easily handle the
business of the Vermont courts.
There is apparently combination
at work in Montpelier to retain the
present number of justices aud to get
three new men on the bench, two to
fill the places made by the retire
ment of Chief Justice Royce and
Judge Powers, and one to take a
vacancy to be made by crowding
out Judge Ross. Exactly why this
latter move should be made it is
hard to obtain a reasona BILE expla-
nation. 1t is alleged as an excuse
that Judge Ross has too many of the
outside engagements to which allu-
sion has been made above. Granted,
but the passage of the law to pro-
hibit such engagements will remedy
this objection. A more real reason
may lie in the fact that Judge Ross
dissented from the opinion of the
of the corporation tax law and hence
is not acceptable to the Central Yer
mont people; also in the fact that
one more vacancy is needed to recon
Gle rivalries for the two legitimate
vacancies by making place for an
other of the candidates, and Judge
Ross, for the two reasons just given,
seems to be an eligible victim
The fact remains that Judge Ross
has had the longest experience of any
justice now on the bench except
Judge Royce, and that his head is
better stored with a knowledge of
Vermont law than that of any of the
judges who will be left after Judge
Royce's retirement. He ought not
to be crowded out either to satisfy
the ambition of younger men or for
the qualification of the railroad
magnates.
This whole supreme court question
should be settled by reducing the
number of justices to six-the present
salaries to stand by prohibiting
the justices from holding any outside
business appointment in the state,
and then by appointing to the single
vacancy the best qualified lawyer
who can be found, whether a candi-
date or not.
