Mrs. Eddy ..ErnIninr.n

Mrs. Eddy's explanation Of why
prayer failed to save President MCKiu-
ley should eftectuaIIy destroy every
vestGe of faith in spiritual treatment
as practiced by the Christian Scientists,
the Dowieites. and all such charlataUS.
Can it be possible that there is sane
person living who believes that Mr..
McKiuley's wounds were not real"
physical injuries and that any sort Of
spiritual treatment would have saved
him2
Mrs. Eddy admits that Christians OF
every sect. including her own, prayed
with al their might for the recovery
Of the President She does not claim
that he himself was lacking in sincere
religious belief, and stiH the prayers
were wholly unavailiug. But she has
her excuse, Of course. just as she has
in all other cases Of failure She does
not ascribe the Presidents death to the
fact that he was not a Christian Sci
entist-at least. she does not 90 so in
direct terms. but she says there was "a
compound Of prayers, and that they
worked against each other. That is 10
say, the prayers Of the other seCts pre-
vented those Of the Christian Scientists
from being effective. Closely analyzel
this is the purport Of her statement.
Then, Of what value is Christian Science
prayer as "a curative. if its effect can
be DESTROYED by the circumsta that
ether people are praying at the same
time2 The IDEA that the suppIicatons
Of a Christian Scientist can overcome
the most malignant of diseases, and the
most dreadful of injuries. but cannot
succeed because other good people are
praying TO the same end. is literally
the capstone upon the mountain OF alb
surdity which makes up the creed Of
this sect.
We feel almost like uu9lauizing for
in anyway connecting the late PIesi-
dents name with a thing so sp-cious
and false as the assumed curative f5a-
TUE Of the Christian Science faith. But
the whole world is Interested IN the ex-
Tosure and sguelching of The fraud;
and "Notner' Eddy's explanation OF
why Christian Science was Intellectual
in Mr.. Nckinlcys case is a complete
demonstration OF the utter worthless
ness OF the claim which is tho lOuula-
ti1u Of the entire creed.

Circulation Statement.
Protecting the President.

It is not pleasant to think that a
man who by the free SURFACES Of the
American people has been chosen to fill
the highest office within their Eift must
be constantly surrounded by guards TO
protect him from wouId-be assassius.
Especially is this true Of one In whom
the fighting instinct is strong. and who
feels an innate consciousness Of being
able 10 take care Of himself Probably
no American citizen would advocate an
adoption Of the rigid and extreme
modes which exist in Europe. but all
must c0ncede that reasonable precau-
tons should be taken to guard the
President against attempts upOn his
life
The argument that no protection is
effective Is not an impressive one. It
might as well be argued that because
the criminal codes and punishments do
not entirely prevent crime we should
abolish the codes and make no effort
at repression. The criminal law does
not deter all persons from the commits
sion Of crimes but there can be no
doubt that 1t holds some people in
check SO. while no system of guard
ing monarchs and presidents may be
effective in all cases. we know that
proper care will sometimes be effective
and greatly reduce the danger. Many
attempts at assassination have failed
through the timely intervention Of at
tenGants. 1t is safe To say that such
assaults fail more frequently than they
succeed. At all events. tho number Of
attempts that are frustrated proves
that precautions will and DO count for
something.
True, the presence Of guards did not
save President Mckinley. but that
probably was owing To- the circum-
stance That he was meeting and shak-
ing hands with a promiscusus throng.
This suggests the extreme ACCESSIBILITY
OF disseminating the custom. 1t really
signifies very little, and it places the
President in a peculiarly exposed situa-
ton. 40 man can shoot or stab an
other unless the opportunity is afford
ed. and the best protection would be
10 minimize the opportunities. Tn in
discriminate cCmningIing Of the Presi-
dent with great masses OF unknown
people should be stopped. and this. with
proper and reasonable system Of
guarding. would certainly tend 10 his
greater security. Such "a course is die
tated bv the most important cons ID
erations Of state. For the same reasons
that attempts upon the life Of TIE Pres
ident should BE- punished c3pitalIy. the
utmost care should be taken to prevent
such attempts from succeeding. Under
some conditions the murder of the
President might almost. if not quite.
be equivalent 10 the murder Of the
Government itself
