The case of Admiral Dewey is pc
culiar in more ways than one. Men
who have won distinction in serving
the government have been nominated

We have never before heard of one of

and ask themselves whether the con-
venient label OF scientific" has been
pasted on spurious goods. They have
been taught in the public schools that
science" and scientific" have very
real meanings-and, indeed, they have
and their impulse is to accept anything
which comes to them in the name of
science. This tendency has been
freely taken advantage of by all sorts
OF quacks and so-called philosophers,
and it has given rich and profitable
opportunity TO a certain class of theo-
logical professors to pose as learned
men and attract attention to them
selves.
Lest such a remark may be deemed
too absolute we will modify ii by saying
that there are great many men whose
shallow Investigations have led them
to the point OF unbelief They do not
desire to forsake the various religious
communions in which they have been
born and bred, and so they ease their
mental unrest by yelling their unbelief
under various theories and forms of
speculation which they declare to be
scientific" Hence we hear that
dogma must henceforth retire from

and that it is to be attacked forthwith
and from all sides. Very well, let it be
attacked but let it not be assailed un-
der false impression as to its nature
and character. 1t is but theological
term for an article setting forth a
religious belief. A creed is made up
OF dogmas. \ society of Christians
cannot put its beliefs into tangible
form without giving utterance to a
series of dogmas.
Nevertheless, the higher critics de-
clare that declarations Of faith. or
dogma" must give way to the illu-
limitations of scientific" criticism. 1t
is to be borne in mind that the real sci
entists make no misuse of the term.
1t is only the shallowminded that
misapply it. Hence we have "the neD-
ular hypothesis" and 1.-The atomic the
ory." The facts that science have dis
covered are very few indeed, and out
side OF mathematics are purely physi-
cal in their character. No fact bear
ing on the solution of the great prob
lem dealt with in Revelation, and go
ing to show that the Scriptures are idle
inventions and religion a dream, has
been, or will be, discovered.
And yet. it is toward the solution
of this problem that all scientific inves-
tigation tends. Speculation is neither
more daring nor more exact now than

Brave Kansas City.

The burning of the auditorium IN
Kansas City has but given the citizens
an opportunity to display the bravery
which must commend success under all
circumstances.
Kansas City, situated in the west,
pretty much as is Atlanta in the south.
has had to wrest her triumph from
older rivals and over encysted preju-
dice. A few bold and enterprising men,
having confidence in their location.
having faith in the country round about
them and its products, and satisfied
that reward would come to those whose
energies were unnagging, went to work
to build up n city which has become
the surprise of the world. What for
mer great empOriums have accomplish
ed through manufactures of mineral
and textile, Kansas City has accom-
plished through bread stuffs and meat
products. The immense packing houses
which represent the accumulated thrift
and industry OF that city are maryels
OF wonder. It is not matter of sur
prise, therefore, that when a calamity
has befallen such a place, with only
three months in which to repair il, that
not for an instant did these people flag;
but coincident with the announcement
that they would rebuild their audito-
rum, the carpenters and the founda..
ton workers were already engaged in
their labOrs.
Atlanta has been built upon pretty
much the same model. Upon these
hills. without accumulated wealth, with
nothing in our favor hut location and
human energy, our people have built
a city which is the surprise and the
pride OF the south. But much as has
been done, the greatest successes re-
main to be accomplished. The one hum
dred and fifty thousand people who
now live within sound of the city bells
are but one-tenth of the population
which should be here within the next
two decades. We are here, touched on
the one side by the cotton belt, on the
other by coal and iron in abundance,
and to the northeast gold fields which
now attract the attention Of the world.
IL behoOves Atlanta not to rest upon
the energy of the past, but taking it as
a text. to go forth into the contests OF
the future with the feeling of the man
who must win or die and the prize will
be won.

No Peace for Christians.

The New York sun says it is a strik-
ing illustration of the interest in reli-
eious questions at this time that by far
the largest volume of volunteer corre-
spondence that has come to the editor
during the past six months relates to
such themes.
The discussion which has called
forth these letters, as our readers
know. was started by the claim of such
higher critics as DIR. Briggs that
henceforth belief in the Bible as the
word of God must be tempered by the
discovery OF modern sages. of the
German school of infidelity, that very
large part of what purports to be Rev
elation is composed of fairy tales.
myths. legends. and inventions such
as the folklore of various populations
take up and preserve to future genera
tions.
The fact that the discussion has
been the means of discovering such a
wide and popular interest in religious
questions. and bringing to the front
a class Of cultured persons who rarely
take the trouble to write to the news
paners. is both interesting and signiil-
cant. The situation would be nope
less. indeed. il such discussion fail
ed to arouse popular interest, for it
is all about a question which touches
and deals with the fundamental facts
OF Christianity.
The danger of the whole contention
is not that any sincere person, OF any
real intelligent person who has COM
mon sense as an anchor for his reason
and his logic. will be led astray, but
that great many young people may
be deceived by the free and fiippant use
of the word scientific" There is
hardly an intellectual folly or fad but
uses the word as a crutch to enable IL

patent medicine use it to carry their
nostrums along. In spite OF its cheap
ness, the term carries with it consid-
cradle significance for the modern
mind.

A False Alarm.

Recently some alarming statements
about Chinese competition in cotton
spinning have been laid before the cot
ton mill men of the south. 1t was an
nounced that in a great cotton mill at
Hankow wages were $1.75 a month.
This was calculated to cause large
frowns to pucker the faces of those
who are engaged in the business of cot
ton manufacturing in this country. The
pessimiSts and croakers smiled aloud
and remarked that they had already
predicted that something serious was
waiting to jump out from behind the
door
But our consul general at Shanghai,
Mr.. Goodnow, has looked into the mat
ter carefully, and he doesn't find the
outlook to be at all gloomy. The great
mill" at Hankow has discontinued
weaving cloth for the reason. as Mr..
GoOdnOw reports. that "it could not
meet the competition OF foreign piece
goods" The looms are in process
Of removal, and will be replaced by
spindles.
In Shanghai $50 looms are running
and it is said that they have recently
succeeded in making coarse sheeting at
profit Mr. GoOdnow has other infor-
nation that is interesting. For in
stance, wages are not what they were
reported to be- Instead of S1.5O a
month, the cheapest coolie labor re-
ceives SO in gold carders and spinners
get $12 to Is in gold and engineers and
weavers get from $40 to $50 a month in
gold. Wages in the treaty ports have
risen very rapidly.
"The labor, however" as Mr.. Good
now says, "is less effective than Aneri-
can labor. American weavers accom-
plish two or three times, and American
spinners at least four times the results
attained by corresponding Chinese
workmen in the same time" Conse-
quently, the cost of making this sheet
ing in Chinese mills by Chinese labor
is fully as much as the manufacture of
the same grade of cloth costs in Amer
lea.
In short, southern mill men may
sleep quietly at night with no fear
OF being run out of business by Chinese
cheap labor.

sistants. He was ready to answer
every question asked, he anticipated
inquiries, he knew more about the
railroad than did its president and its
whole board Of directors. and while it
was a surprise to him, it was not so
much so to one who studied the facts.
to find that one day he was elected di-
rector OF the company he served, and
Immediately was promoted to the Of
flee OF president of the whole road.
The lesson of this is that while cor
porations may amass large properties.
they cannot manage them without the
aid of expert men who. under other
conditions, would have been the pro-
prietors. The only way in which
they can gain the service OF such men
is by paying them and paying them
well. SO that they may look upon the
business as their own. There is not
corporation in the United States
today but has its eyes wide open for
the particular young man who can
extend its business and carry on its
trade.
Therefore. putting these two incl
dents together. The Constitution would
say to the young men of the country
stay at home and work out the golden
opportunities which surround you.
Make yourselves perfect i'm some
calling; never loiter upon the way.
There are men about you who have
the money. but who lack the ability
to use it, These men need your SER
vice. and they will pay for it. All
you have to do is To qualify yourselves
so that these men cannot afford to do
without you.

it was a thousand years ago; whereas,
the documents that give Christianity
it's authority and title have been mi
raculously preserved for ages, and his
tory has recorded the literal fulfillment
of at least two of their most impress
sive prophecies the coming of the Mes
siah, and the dispersion of the people
whom the Almighty had set apart as
His chosen ones.
If only young people who have been
infested by this belief in amateur "sci-
ence" could be brought to see and un-
derstand that neither hypothesis nor
theory can tear away the veil that
conceals the mystery, or expose the un-
movable view, the claims of such men
as DIR. Briggs would do no harm what
ever; but it is to be borne in mind that
these claims are supported by many
preachers who, like Briggs, are unbe-
levers. These men find the infidelity
of the German Investigations attrac-
tive. 1t gives them an opportunity 10
preach sensational sermons, and TO
show off before their pewholders as
men of scientific attainments. They are
thus enabled to drop their poison little
by little into minds made susceptible
by an education which has not gone
hand in hand with overmuch religious
instruction, and which is just profound
enough to lead to a vague idea that to
be cultured it is necessary to have a
more or less severe attack of inhdellty.
The fault is with the preachers.
Worldly-minded men cannot be IN
earnest when they come to discuss
questions of faith, and a lack of earn
estness affords a straw at which lack
of faith may clutch. The churches per-
nit to be made from their pulpits state
ments directly contrary to their creeds,
and the excuse is that dogma must
give way to clearer ideas of truth, and
that 1--WE have too long held false ideas
of conservatism"
Well, no man can honestly subscribe
to what he does not believe. but when
he processes to believe, he is expected
TO go the whole length of that belief.
The congregations which wink at infi-
delity should either change their creeds
to suit their present beliefs, or. If they
believe in God and the Bible they
should drive from their pulpits the men
who are corrupting innocent minds by
preaching contrary doctrine. They
cannot be at peace with such a ten
dency.
