1t is the favorite amusement of many
foreign writer's to picture Americans as
people so wrapped up in their own ego
tism that they resent with much show of
Indignation even the mildest criticism.
This may be true as to certain indlvldu-
ais but it is far frCm true as to the entire
nation. On the contrary, Americans are
as quick as their critics to see their own
faults, though quite naturally they object
20 having such faults exaggerated by the
unfriendy observer. When NJ. Biouet
and other foreign sojoUrners have good
naturedly laughed at certain American
eccentricitlos, Americans have laughed
with them, showing not the smallest trace
CT i'll feeling; wher the truth has been
grossly distorted American sentiment has
been aroused, such a feeling under such
circun stances being merely human and
nothing more.

feat of the amendment is explained by
the statement that while large pro-
portion of the so-called good citizens
did not take the trouble to vote, every
sport in Jersey not only voted but also
worked at the polls like n Trojan. No
doubt we shall now hear a loud chorus
of lamentation over this humiliatlng
victory of iniqulty, but If the fore
going assertions be true those negll-
gent ministers and laymen had better
keep discreetly silent.

CRITICISM OF MIR. TRACY.
Some of the Delegates Take Excep-
tons to His Czar-Lil<e Methods.


tons to His Czar-Lil<e Methods.
J. P Tracy, the retiring chairman of the
general executive committee is the sub
ject of much adverse criticism among a
number of the delegates.
The position of chairman is endowed with
czar-like attributes and many of the MEM
bers of the society are chatting under what
is termed the arbitrary and arrogant man
ner in which the office has been conducted
by the present incumbent.
The chairman can readily be a pope if
he cares to exercise the powers given him.
When he comes into the position he NOM
mates" five members of the general COM
mittee which members are said to be
elected by the institute but the chairman'S
nominations are always tantamount to an
election. The chairman thus readily DOM
mates the committee, Whlcn III turn uOH-
mates the officials of the institute. The
committee on resolutions, which is APP
pointed by the president, is thus brought
under the control of the chairman, ana
nothing meeting with his disfaVor can in
consequence be brought before the lnSu-
tute. Some of the delegates charge that
this is true under the present regime, ana
that it is impossible for them TO obtain
fair consideration of their opinions by the
committee.
Mr. Tracy has also shown the one-man
power by entering upon matters without
consulting anybody. 1t is understood he
has been called down IN seNeraI instances
but that his righteousness" has gone unre-
buked in other directions. One of the
things he is charged with is the making OF
the official organ deal, which it is said he
entered upon on his own responsibility.
BY Il censorship over such an organ all
criticisms on management or references to
difference of opinion on church and econ
nomic subjects could be shut out OF that
organ. If this is true statement of the
case, the idea has worked charmingly, for
the official organ in question has wholly
abdicated its claims of independence and OF
its being a newspaper that prints the news
without fear or favor.
Many of the delegates are slow about eX-
pressing their sentiments on Mr.. Tracys
regime because of his early retirement.
