HAS DECLINED THE CALL
Dr.. Maekay-Smith Will Not

TO REMAIN AT ST. JOHNS
Had Accepted the Offer From irth'S
Church in the Quaker Cit.-bis
Resignation Sent in Here-Presscd
to Stay by the Bishop of the Dio-
c.s. rud Other Prominent Clergy
men.

Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smith. D. d.
rector of St Johns Episcopal Church
rendered his resignation to the vestrymen
of his parish last week in order TO accept
a call to the Church of the Holy TTiiily'
Philadelphia He has since. however
been induced to reconsider that action,
Withdraw his resignation, and forma'Iy
decline the nomination to the Philddei-
phia pastorate.
Trinity is one of the most wealthy
charges in the East. 1t became vacant
about a year ago. since which eveit the
church vestry has been discussing and
considering the qualifications of the
scores of men suggested for the place
Under the rules of the church, the Tes-
n trfen- must first nominate successor
to the outgoing rector and hold his cleo
ton under advisement for year Then

Smith about two weeks ago. and a week
aso, last, Wednesday sent depuiaSton

accept the nomination.
An answer was forthcoming in the early
part of last week. when DIR. Mackay-
Smith wrote to the vestrymen of Trinity
aecepeing the nomination and to those of
ST. Johns resigning his present position
as pastor.
Immediately letters came pouring III to
DR.. Mackay-Smith from all sides-at first
from the members of the vestry and
prominent church members only, but
after awhile from everyone Interested in
the welfare of St. Johns Finally, the
list of those who wrote asking DIR. Mac
kay-Smith to withdraw his resignation
included the bishop of the diocese, and
many of the prominent clergymen in his
charge, the chief justice and other as
sociate Justices of the United States Su-
preme Court. Gen. Miles, Hon. j. w.
Foster, and many prominent Presby-
terian, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Metho-
dist, Hebrew and Baptist clergymen with
whom the rector of st. Johns had almost
no acquaintance.
Under such pressure it was hard for
DR.. Mackay-Smith to persist in resigning,
and he was finally induced by the vestry
men to withdraw his resignation and re-
main in charge of St Johns.

Startling testimony was broug out

about the Department threat to disci-
pline this witness that Alger has deemed
it best to announce that nothing viii be
done to him.
The Commission, on its tour of inspec-
ton through the South, is pursuing the
same course 1t is inspecting camps for
evidence which, through the tremendous
force of public opinion, have been put in
proper sanitary condition. The damage
was done by the War Department several
months ago, and its utter imcempetency
has been, to large extent, balanced by
the food of advice poured in from every
direction. One Of the War Department $
staff, in testifying before the Commission,
which is in Florida, said The reports
of i'll treatment grew out of the exagger
ated statements of the men themselves. =
That is just it. This witness did not
seem to think the men amounted to much.
''Food for powder, food for powder;
they Il fill a pit as well as another But
it is these same common soldiers about
whom the public is exercised. The off
GERS can generally take care of themselves.
When are the witnesses who made the
charges to be examined? When are the
exaggerated statements of the men them
selves to be heard? The public is trihe
weary of this everlasting defence of Alger,
and would like to hear something from the
other side

Let Us Hear the Other Side.

From the Baltimore american, Rep
The Commission which is trying Secre-
tary Alger has reversed the universal mode
of procedure. The usual course is for the
prosecution to prove its charges, or, at
least, to try to prove them, and for the
defence to show that they are not true.
But from anything which has thus far
transpired before the Commission one
would think that the army, and the pub
lie, who are in sympathy with it, are on
trial, with the Secretary of War and his
staff as the prosecutors. The trial began
with the request for statements from the
Secretary and his aids. These were, Of
course, witnesses in their own behalf. 1t
would have been strange had they impli-
Gated themselves, and it is impossible to
believe that the Commission expected such
a thing
Since then, with a solitary exception,
witnesses have been summoned to defend
the War Department, and not to prove
the charges. The single exception was
surgeon, who was stationed in Porto Rico.
He had expressed his views pretty freely
in print before he was summoned, and had
been threatened by the War Department
When he appeared before the Commission
he was treated differently from all the pre-
ceding witnesses He was badgered and
bullied, for all the world like an obdurate
witness in a criminal court. Public opin-
ion has been so Enthusiastically expressed

Where Is the Greatness ?
From the pittsburg, Pa, Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg, Pa, Dispatch.
Colonel Roosevelt, who has made no
secret of his being pronounced expan-
sionist-which trait will do comparatively
little harm in the Governorship of the
State of New York-is reported to have
declared, in one of his speeches concerning
territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, "We must dare
to be great.
With regard to the abstract proposition
no one will dispute; but as an argument in
favor of annexing territory on the other
side of the globe it suggests some questions
which it would be pertinent for Colonel
Roosevelt or any other expansionist to
study.
Does Colonel Roosevelt mean to assert
that this country was not great and had not
dared to be great at the beginning of this
year of grace when it had no purpose of
colonial aggression? At the beginning of
the war which was greater, the United
States, whose policy was against tributary
colonies, or Spain, which was reaching the
full fruition of three centuries of colonial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and consequent decay ?
Was Germany great when she had united
herself in compact and powerful nation,
or was her greatness postponed until she
had grabbed the territory of naked tribes
in Africa and effete Cinnamon in Asia ?
The fact is that the greatness of the
United States, both material and moral,
has been due to the upholding Of the right
of nations to self government, the resolu-
ton to attend to building up our own land,
and to make no aggression abroad, but only
to encourage other nations on the same
work of establishing freedom and pros
perity
The United States was never greater
than when it declared, at the beginning Of
the war, that it would seek no territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but was taking up arms
to enable neighboring people to obtain
good government for themselves. The at
tempt to evade that pledge, and to get the
nation to descend to the level of European
land grabbing, points in the direction, not
of greatness, but of degradation.
