territory and Cancellation of our people and
bringing them over to their side In both
objects they are already making alarming
Roadway. Now, in order to counterfeit
these insidious approaches, the chief thing
is self-reformation. But alas, the cppor-

Take the case of Persia. Its population
is but 100000. Though the kingdom still
exists in name, the real power is in the
hands of England and Russia. Again look
at the case of Egypt Its population is
100000. True, the kingdom stin nominal

usurped all the real powers Now the lit

We all thought last year that Boxerism
had destroyed our country, but now we
have peace, withdrawal of foreign troops

deceive ourselves. The heavy indemnities

This means loss of maritime power Our

"LEAD, KINDLY LIGHT"
The Controversy Concerning Origin
of the Hymn.

The Controversy Concerning Origin
of the Hymn.
From the London Pail Mall Gazette.
Mrs Sarah Adams and John Henry New
man-not yet cardinal-are names that re-
cent events have brought. once more, to
the fore. The words which will go down
to posterity as the last words OF president
Mckinley were the poetic utterance OF the
one, and the hymn which has never ceased
resounding in Buffalo and at washington
was of the latter's inditing. Mrs. Sarah
Adams. born Flower, contributed the orig
inal version of Nearer, My God, to Thee"
to W. T. Fox's Hymns and Anthems. IN
1871 1t achieved popularity almost at once.
Newman's Lead. Kindly Light, was
first published in the British Magazine for
March, 1884. 1t was reprinted, with oll-
1886, and, with it's final title. The Pillar
Of Cloud" in Occasional Verses In 1913.
Probably no composition OF the KIND ever
gave rise to much controversy and
more or less, impertinent speculation
Readers between lines read into all sorts
of doubts and fears, from which they were
pleased to assume the author must nave
been suffering when he wrote II: Iney saw
in 1t the torment of a tossed soul, yearninss
toward the old religion-all sorts OF hid
den meanings.
The controversy fairly ragged, and New
man, with other and more important mat
But at last the disputants insisted upon
knowing what the poet meant from HIM
self, and so constituted the hard and incon-
venient situation for a bard which
Byron had something to say about years
before. And in the end they drew New
man. He wrote, from the Oratory, IN lSt9,
to Dr. Greenhill, and the letter reads pretty
much like the sort of letter Byron would
have written if he had been holding New
mans pen. AS it was Newman who wrote,
he did not quote Byron. He preferred TO
instance Keble.
'Keble, l think it was. who said that
poets were not bound to give sense to
what they had written. Though am not
poet like Keble, 1 am not bound either
to remember my own meaning, whatever
it was, at the end Of fifty years. 1t would
be quite tyranny If one were obliged to be
ready for examination the transient
states of mind which come upon one when
one is homesick. or seasick, or, in ether
ways, sensitive or excited
I wonder what the controversialists
thought Of that letter? Greenhill must
have appreciated it. The "seasick'' is
quite Byronic.

PRESIDENTS GOOD WISHES,
May Not Attend Meeting but Hopes
Memorial bridge Will Succeed.

May Not Attend Meeting but Homes
Memorial Bridge Will Succeed.
William S. OdelI, secretary Of the Ma
tional Memorial Bridge Association, today
invited the President to attend the meeting
to be held at Masonic Temple Wednesday
evening next in the interest of the Memo
rial bridge and arch. The PRECEDENT ex-
pressed regret that he could not go, but
renewed his expressions of sympathy with
the object of the meeting.
In this connection it may be stated that
Judge Robert E. Doan. the president of the
National Memorial Bridge Association, has
received a communication from S. c. Dyer
adjutant general of the Spanish War Vet
Grams, dated at Brooklyn, N. Y, and call
ing attention to the fact that the organiza-
ton he represents was left out of the af-
fair by those having it in charge.
ne protest was as follows:
see by announcement in the local pa
pers that the G. A r. and other local or
carnations have been invited to cooperate
In making the Mckinley memorial arch a
success. l desire to enter protest on be-
half of the veterans of the Spanish war.
We fought under President Mckinley a
glorious war, and we don't think there is
any organization that has deeper love and
respect for the memory Of our lamented
President than the Spanish war veterans.
Therefore L would be pleased to know why
We were ignored, for while he was a COM
rade Of the veterans of the civil war, he
was likewise our comrade Of the Spanish
war. being our command sr-in-chief l think
our corps commander of the District of
Columbia should have been invited to take
part In same. I protest on behalf Of the
national organization that our local corps
was ignored" a.
The hope was expressed that the omis-
sion of the organization from the list of
those invited was an oversight and that the
spanish War Veterans would be permitted
to aid the project by its money and CO.
operative effort.G
Mr.. w. 8. Odell, the secretary Of the as
ISOLATION. in referring to the communica-
ton today, said there was no thought upon
the part Of any one connected with the
movement to ignore the Spanish War Veter-
ans. In the. haste necessary he said, in
preparing the CALL those were seen who
were easily accessible, and 1t happened that
no one at the time knew the address of the
officers Of the association represented by
Adjt. Gen. Dyer. The omission was unin-
territorial, he added, and 1t Is expected that
all patriotic citizens will cooperate In be-
half of the movement.

The strangest part in the whole story of

the monks that, in spite of the old Oh 3rter

would have to apply for fresh authorize
