none. Steyn's action toward England
was o gross breach of international
good faith as we'll as an insane one.
There had never been any friction to
speak OF between the Dutch and the
English speaking elements in the Free
state. Their relations had been friend
ly both In n personal sense and In a
political. Nothing but an immoderate
ambition or a mania of racial preju-
dice can explain Steyn's course in
jumping into the forefront of u fight in
which his people were not directly con-
cerned and bringing upon them the ret
ribution which any sane man must have
foreseen
If it is Steyn who Is holding out
against peace the Inference must be
that he is afraid TO face the conse-
quences of his perfidy. We do not won-
der at this. The feeling against him is
very bitter in South Africa. English
men bear few grudges against the in
dividual Transvaalers, especially those
who have fought bravely in the field
and conducted themselves like men;
but the general thought with respect
to Steyn Is that If he had his deserts
he would soon be decorating the end
of Il hemp rope. Before the British get
through with him that may be his fin

Roosevelt at the Carnegie
Il Hall overflow meeting in
New York on Tuesday night
an impromptu one, by the way, illus
trative of the presidents growing pow
| er to think and speak accurately on
better than what he said before the
main audience of the Presbyterian gen.
eral assembly. After some Introductory
words he said:
"Of course, the very first duty any
nation has got to perform is to keep
in order the affairs of it's own house,
hold, to do what is best for it's own life.
And, as has been so well and thought
fully said by DR.. Van Dyke, the vital
thing is the spiritual, not the material.
Even Napoleon said that in war the
moral was as to the material as 10 TO
/, and it is just exactly so in civil life.
l do not mean to undervalue the ma
terial, We have got to have thrift and
business interests and all that spring
from them as a foundation upon which
to build, yet a nation would seem to be
but pretty poor building if there was
nothing but the basement.
1T is an admirable thing to have
great material riches, if we do not
overestimate the position that the ma
terial well being shall occupy in ma
ture, II is great thing to have wealth
If we have an idea of the real value
of wealth with reference to the spirit.
This sounds like preaching, but it Is
only AN expression OF political truism
If you look at it in the right way.
I'VE have spread during the past
century over the whole continent. Do
you realize that before the beginning
OF that century any one who went
west of the Mississippi went into for
eign land? But as we have expanded
naturally, so 1t has been our good for
tune that those who should go hand in
hand with it were those laborlng for

the expansion of the Christian church
and all that goes with It. And dom
| think that we, realize the all import.
ance, the way in which the most vita
need of that movement was met By
those men who went out as pastors II
the little struggling communities where
the people were laying the foundations
OF what were to be the great states OF
the Mississippi Valley which were tc
spread on to the Pacific Coast. The
men who went out in that way gave
our people the spiritual lift that was
vital TO them; that has made us in the
| end a great nation instead Of a nation
| Of well-,o-do people. We want we'll
to-do people, but IL they were the only
kind we had we would come far short
Of what we have right to demand Of
| ourselves.
There is tremendous work looming
up before the churches Of this nation
which the churches must do. Our ma
ton has been progressing. In some
ways this progress has been for the
right, but in others for what we have
far less cause to be proud Of The
tremendous sweep of our industrial de-
velopment has brought us face to face
with problems which have concerned
for years the people of the Old World.
This progress has increased the effec-
tive power of forces for good as well as
forces for evil. The forces for evil in
our great cities, as those cities grow,
become more and more menacing to
those communities. If our country Is
to grow, those forces must be met by
forces equally strong for good. More
and more in the future our churches
have got to realize that we have a
right to expect them to take a lead in
shaping these forces for good.
II am not going to verge on the do
main Of theology or dogma, and I
don't think in this day there will be
any dissent from the proposition that
in this work-a-day world we must
generally judge men by their fruits,
that we cannot accept long succession
of thistle crops as indicating fig trees.
And we have right to expect the
church to set high standard of public
service throughout the whole land.
''The church must find expression
through the life work of it's members,
not only on Sundays, but on week days,
not only within these church walls, but
at home and in business. l don't know
of any phrase that is less attractive
than Business is business when it is
used to mean what verges on rascality.
1--WE have right to expect that you
will show your faith by your works.
and that the people who have the adj
vantage Of church and home life must
remember that as much has been given
them, much will be expected of them.
We have right to expect of you that
you will not merely speak for right
eousness in your own homes and in the
world at large
These are good thoughts well-word-
ed Their import is of vital import
ance to the well-being of society.

Too Late.

4 S THOUGH by pre-arrange-

coalition which has undertake

| Pennsylvania of the trouble of nomin-
| ating n candidate for governor have
suddenly adopted d new tack. No long
er are they belittling John Ellsin and
protesting scorn of his chances since
| Quay declared that he must go under.
On the contrary, they are saying many
| nice things about him personally and
about the plucky fight he and his

| with the assertion, now grown thread
bare, that Mr.. Elkin's nomination
would be ineXpedient at this time; that
may be next time would be an expe-
publican, Mr.. Elkin ought not to fight
any longer but gracefully lay down
and let the juggernaut roll over him,
in the hope that some fix up could be
made which would prevent the neces-
sity for holding a coroner's inquest.
This, of course, is not literal trans
lation of the new dispensation of insur-
gent poppycock but it accurately de-
scrbes its purport and tenor. The
club having failed, soft soap is to be
called into requisiton. We must con-
cede that there is shrewdness in the
strategy which has decreed this change
of tactics. A blarneying opponent is

give him, but somehow you feel tempt
ed to let up just Il little. We have no
doubt that had the conspirators
against Elllin played this sugar-and-
honey game earlier it might have un-
dercut Elllin.
But as the case stands the fight will
go on; and while it will not be one cul-
minating in bitterness or bad blood it
Will be an unyielding one so far as Ell
kin's friends are concerned. 1t hav-
ing been Enthusiastically shown that
John Elkin is the choice of an over
whelmng majority of the substantial
strated in his winning every contest
yet fought in the open before the peo-
pie, his friends will go into the con-
vention to win, if possible, but if not
possible, to fix upon those who make
it impossible the responsibility for
thwarting the popular will. In self-re-
spect they have no alternative. The |
situation was not of their choosing. 1t |
was forced upon them. Therefore, let |
those who forced it stand up to the |
rack and eat the harvest.

WHY oLIVERs FIGHT ELKIN.
From Their Pittsburg Gazette.

From Their PittsburS Gazette.
Whatever may he our opinion Of Mr. John r.
Elkin as candidate for governor, his qualit,
as stubborn fighter must excite our adnira
tion. In continuing the fight, Mr.. Elkin is only
exercising the right which belongs to him in com
mon with every citizen OF the commonwealth
and the vgor with which he conducts his cam
paign is worthy of all praise But in admirng
the man and his courage, we must not lose sight
of what Mr.. Eikin and his candidacy really repre-
scnt-and that, boiled down, means the con-
tinucd supremacy Of Governor Stone in state
politics. Mr. Ekn and his friends may try to
conceal this they will, but it is none the less
true that the governor is working the long.d
tance telephone in his behalf from one end of the
state 10 the other and that all his appointees and
all who have a graft, legitimate illegitmate,
on the states resources are working with might,
main and money for the perpetuaton OF the Stone
dynasty 1t is well that the people should know
this and that they should not be beguilcd by Mr..
Elkin's pleasant personality into forgetting the
real promoter and organizer of his candidacy.

der thus far reported since
IL the strike began are not in
themselves of great conse-
quence. They are deplorable, OF
course, and without excuse or palla-
tion, but not formidable enough. con-
sidered separately, to warrant alarm
In times of peace disturbances as bad
as these have been are liable to hap
pen: it is distinctly to the credit of
the great body OF the strikers, especial
ly in this region, that order SO good as
has characterized the strike to date
should have been maintained.
Yet the fact that mobs can gather to
molest men who want to work is omin-
Gus, because it reveals the skeleton in
organized labor closet. We wish to
give full credit to the officials of the
miners union for what they are doing
to hold back the forces of turbulence.
In this work they are entitled to the
support Of the press the pulpit and
the power of public opinion generally.
Nothing is truer than that violence on
the part of mobs hurts labor's cause
more than it hurts capitals The
owner of property which is injured or
destroyed by a mob has legal redress
The leader of a labor movement whose
plans are frustrated by violence has
none. He goes down in the crash, I'M
justly condemned for what he could
not prevent.
Although it is as old as human lib
erty it is still true that the man who
quits job has no right to prevent an
other man from taking it, The minute
he claims such a right he arrays
against him not only the cap
italists whom he is fighting but
likewise the entire force of that
strong and saving American pub
lie sentiment which believes from
shoe sole to hat crown in law, order
and fair play. No labor union is strong
enough to fight and conquer both. 1t
is absolutely essential from the stand
point of the unions MISREPRESENTATION
that violence shall be repressed.
We may be wrong in our reading OF
the substantial public opinion of the
non-cOmbatant inhabitants of this COM
munity; but it appears to us to be not
yet partisan in reference to the strike
1t wanted peace. 1t opposed a strike.
1t agreed with a majority of the
miners delegates from this section that
there was not a sufficient prompting
for strike. While it sympathizes
with the honest and industrious work.
1ngman anxious to better his condition
and to improve the comforts of his
home and the opportunities of his chill
dren, it concurred in the conservative
opinion prevalent among our best
miners that the chances in n long-con-
tinued strike We're not in the miners
favor. 1t has not changed it's opinion
since the die has been cast for war but
1t has laid no stone in the union's path
way. 1t is content to await develop
ments, hoping that they may come
soon and be of a peaceful and a bene-
fetal character
But let violence break forth in this
valley and instantaneously this benev-
olent neutrality of local public opinion
will change to a firm determination at
any cost to uphold the majesty of the
law, There is no alternative There

An Interesting Relic.

Charles F. Sears, a former resident
of Bennington Center, has presented
through Gen. T. s. Peck of Burling-
ton to the Vermont Historical So
ciety, a cane of white oak taken from
one of the timbers used in the con-
struction of the original building of
the old First church in Bennington,
erected in the year 1853, it being the
first church building erected in the
state of Vermont.
The head of the cane is made from
a piece of the first apple tree set out
in Bennington, and in the center of
the head is piece Of the old Char
ter Oak" at Hartford, Conn. When
a new church building was put up the
old building was given to Anthony
Haswell, who moved it to a site near
where the battle monument now
stands, and used the timber in build
ing him a house. This dwelling after
ward came into the possession of the
Hon. Benjamin R. Sears, the father
of Charles F. Sears, who used the tim
Der in the construction of a new
house for himself.
Mr.. Sears has given General Peck a
piece of wood from the sill of this old
church. The cane will be turned over
to the Vermont Historical Society,
and will be placed in the collection of
the society in the State House at
Montpelier.
