refuses to see that this exception was
made because, although it was effect
i've in paying debts, there were many
things which the government could
not buy with it. If you insist that
the depreciation resulted from fear
of the government's ability to redeem
the greenbacks, the fiatist tells you
that it resulted from the unnecessary
folly of pledgiag their redemption.
If you tell him that plants grow
splndling and colorless in the dim

is no argument for more light but for
none at all. The fatist belongs to

HERBERT SPENCER.
passion

The death Of Herbert Spencer last
week removes one of the really great
men of modern times-perhaps the
greatest. To hold this estimate Of
him it is not necessary to accept all
or any of his speculative notions, or
to maintain that in the realm of
scientific research he made any very
substantial contributions to the sum
of human knowledge.
His mind was essentially philoso
phical, but differed from others of
this general classification 10 its capac.
ity for mastering a vast range of
inductive physical sciences from
which he derived the postulates Of
his deductive speculations. He was
not inferior to Haeckel in the breadth
and thoroughness of his knowledge Of
the physical sciences, hut unlike
Haeckel, he sought the truths and
working principles Of science merely
as vantage ground from which TO
essay the ambition Of philosophers in
all ages, the conquest of ultimate
truth. Great endeavor is never fail
ure; and while Spencer lived to see
nearly all Of his general ideas dis.
credited, it must be admitted by
his worst enemies that be has enrich.
ed every field he has cultivated.
And he has cultivated many fields
sociology, Psychology, economics,
education, ethics and half a score OF
others. Naturally his deepest books
have been least read. Teachers gen.
orally have studied his monograph on
education and his treatise on rhetoric
and preachers, his essays on ethics
books which contain only his odds and
ends of thought, surplusage which
might not consistently find place in
the body of his more ambitious works.
And what wonderful books these are9
They will not do for creeds; most OF
his deductions upon these subjects
are now discredited. But they con.
tain the leayen of bouLdless mental
stimulation. Take, for instance. his
treatise on education It's theories
have been rejected utterly, but not
until they had destroyed all previous.

BUTLER SET FREE.

Last week division number two of
the suprime court of Missouri render
ed a decision reversing the decision
Of the lower court in the Ed. Butler
bribery case. OF the moral guilt OF
Ed. Butler there can be no doubt.
10 fact, it Was only by the utmost
effort of his lawyers that he was pre-.
vented from telling the jury the
whole story of his offer of money to
DIS Chapman and Merrill for their
votes to give him the garbage con-
tract. 1t is said that he has told the
story often to newspaper reporters.
There can be no doubt that Buffers
proper place is the p%enitentiary, and
1t is believed that he may be regularly
convicted of a p%enitentiary otfense in
connection with the brib.ng Of the
council in the lighting contract deal.
The decision Of the supreme court,
Of course, has no relation TO the ques-
lions of fact as to whether Butler
offered Drs. Chapman and Merrill
money for their votes. Such facts
are for juries to determine and from
their decision there is no appeal. The
legal point raised by Buffers attor-
neys, In the language of every day,
was that the statute against bribery
of a public official could apply only to
acts done in his lawful official capac.
ity. The board Of health, to which
Drs. Chapman and Merrill belonged,
had no lawful authority to let a
garbage contract. The council could
not by resolution or ordinance confer
such authority upon them, since the
charter OF the city, which is the
fundamental law, expressly provided
that this authority shall reside in
the board of public improvements.
Buffers lawyers commended that the
board Of health could not be bribed
to let a garbage contract, because it
had no lawful authority to let such a
contract at all; that it could not be
bribed to do what 1t could not do.
They commended, for instance, that
IL a man paid money to a member OF
the legislature to induce him to in
troduce a bill or TO vote for a bill
acts which are in the line Of his
official capaclty-the deed would be
bribery under the statute. But IL
the same man we're to pay to the
legislator money to induce him
to kill a man, the act would not be
bribery, since he would not be acting
In his official capacity, but would be
another namable and punishable
crime, The supreme court sustained
this contention Of Buffers LAWYERS.
though the court doubtless believed
as the jury believed, that as a matter
of fact Butler offered money to two
members of the board OF health to
secure their votes for confirming to
him a valuable garbage contract,
even If invalid, for a term CT years.
The court doubtless believed, too, as
the jury believed, that the board Of
health thought it had the lawful
authority to grant the contract and
that Butler thought so at the time
money was offered. The court
doubtless to a man believes 10 Buffers
guilt in the matter. These,

On Dec. 4, 1926, during the Mayor
atty of Philip Hone, the council of
New York passed a resolution direct
ing that a monument be erected to
the memory of John Paulding. The
members of the committee were
Gideon Ostrander, John Agnew, John
Lozier, James Cox, Abrahm NJ. Valen-
tine, all dead long ago.
James Kahn and Francis Kahn we're
employed to design, prepare and erect
the monument It is of white marble,
simple in design, a pyramidal shaft on
a pedestal, in turn on a base. The
stone Is inclosed by an iron fence.
The monument was dedicated on
Nov. %, 1927, party of New York
ers and officials coming from the city
in the old steamboat Sandusky to par
ticipate in the ceremonies. William
Paulding, then mayor, delivered the
dedicatory address.
Few Of the millions of residents Of
New York city know that in its cary
history its mayor and officials sailed
up to Peekskill, and in the old ceme-
terry two miles north of the village
dedicated a monument that it's public
spirit had inspired. Public spirit, it

A NEGLECTED TOMB.
MONUMENT TO REVOLUTIONARY
HERO IN DECAY.
Erected by the Corporation Of ths CITY
Of New York on the Grave Of John
PauldInp, Il Is Forgotten IN the
Stress Of Modern Tlmes.

The good people Of the staId old
Revolutionary war town Of Peekskill,
NJ Y, are uttering remarks about New
York. They are saying that the
metropolis, with It's vast appropris-
tions each year, its many historical
societies, and the apparent interest
manifested there in preserving histori-
cal spots and sites, should take better
care of a monument it erected three
quarters Of a century ago at Peeks-
kill; that Il should send up a com
njttee to ride out to the old Vancort-
landtville cemetery and look at the
condition OF the monument. A few
dollars expended wisely, they say, will
put the stone, the iron fence, and the
surroundings in proper condition.
The monument stands where are
buried the remains of Gen. Seth
Pomeroy, the Revolutionary war hero,
to whose memory the Sons of the
Revolution erected a handsome shaft
in the new cemetery a few years ogo.
Near by is the historic st. Peters
church, one hundred and fifty years
old, within the walls of which Gen.
Washington worshiped.
A study of the letters on the monu-
ment, after scratching off the moss
