Proper Tribute Song Withheld

The memory of General Alexander
Macomb is sal dto be honored with no
monument except that over his grave
in the old congressional burying
ground at Washington. and yet Gen
eral Macomb was the most distin-
guished military commander of the
war of 1912. and held the position OF
general chief of the army from 1885
till 1871. In 1914 he gained a victory
over a superior force of British in the
battle of Plattsburg, at the same time
that Commodore Macdonough defeated
them on Lake Champlain, for which he
was commissioned major general, and
received a vote of thanks and a medal
from Congress. The city of Detroit,
General Macomb's birthplace, is at last
to suitably commemorate his achieve
ments with a monument, which will
be a fitting, though long delayed. TRIP

dentalay to all this, fact is much

The trouble in the Anglican church
OF Hawaii is perhaps none of the pub
lies business, though the American
laity, of all faiths, have a right to ask
why there should be an Anglican church
in Hawaii at all, and if one must be
supported here why are American Epis-
copalians denied, by that fact. the right
to enjoy the services to which they
have been accustomed? One would
think that member of the Episcopal
church in America-using a descriptive
rather than a canonical title-who did
not care to accept the leadership of an
Anglican shepherd and to repeat pray
ers for His Majesty, Edward VII, might
be permitted TO attend an American
Episcopal church. But any church of
that sort in Honolulu would probably
be described, in some Anglican man
date, as a sect" or "schism." The
issue is novel and may be set down as
one of the problems of expansion. How
1T will be solved, the church papers do
not distinctly inform us; but if the
American Epfscopate should see fit to
establish mission here, leaving the
Anglican establishment to run its own
course, the interests of the church
would surely be served to better ad-
vantage than can possibly be the case
now. when the activity of the Hawaiian
Episcopal body is mainly that of a
Donnybrook fair.
