A Prince Becomes Archbishop.

Prince Macmillan OF Saxony, young
est son of the King of Saxony. has just
been nominated Archbishop of the Aus
trian See of Olmutz in succession to
Archbishop Kohn. who has been sum
moned to Rome and who will probably
be made a cardinal. or at any rate given
some post there in connection with the
Curia. Archbishop Kohn, who is the
son of Hebrew parents of the very hum
blest calling. seems to have had his
head completely turned by his elevation
to the archbishopric of Olmutz, one of
the richest and most influential of the
archdiocese of the Austro- Hungarian
empire and through his harshness to-
ward the clergy subject to his orders,
as well as by his arrogance in dealing
with the provincial and government au-
thorities, brought matters to such pass
as to render his continuance at olmutz
inlposs.ble
Prince Macmillan. who was formerly
cavalry officer, and who suddenly
abandoned the army for the church
some seven years ago, has repeatedly
rejected the offers Of ecclesiastical hon
ora, and spent the first three years Of
his priesthood working as a missionary
in the Whitechapel slums of London.

SIGNIFICANT PHASES
OF WATSON EPISODE
The Ignorance of the Commissioners,
and a Notable Interview.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
Several incidents narrated in connec-
ton With the recent catastrophe in
municipal affairs should attract public
attention:
First-The Board of Commissioners
didn't know it was loaded"-that is to
say. they didn't know with what utter
absence of system and safeguards this

prised as the public TO find fourteen

The Power of Thought.
President Faunce's Enunciation of a
Sound Principle.

President Faunce, of Brown Uni
versity, preached baccalaureate ser
mon to Yale 'theologs" some days
ago. He quoted the following as a
remark made 10 him recently by a
successful Wall Street operator:
As things are now, about 5 per
cent of humanity must take care of
the other 80 per cent. We must take
care of them without hurting if we
can, but still we must do it. They are
not competent to use money OF to
have it, and we must manage it for
them"
The delicious self-complaeency of
that particular manager might be
worth a moments consideration, but
just now we are talking about Presi-
dent Faunce. He made this comment :
..The problem for us Is not what to
do with the feeble or with the sick, or
with China or the negro, but what TO
do with this philosophy that is silent
~ spreading through modern life"
That there Is mquestionably such
a philosophy we cannot doubt, but we
do doubt that it should cause Presi-
dent Faunce any great alarm. 1t
does, of course, behoove us to be wide
awake, but the mere fact that such a
philosophy IS rising to the surface,
presenting It's head, as it were, to be
hit, Is matter for congratulation
rather than for alarm. A thing of
that kind is chiefly dangerous when it
is generally unknown or generally
unrecognized
One interesting point III connection
with President Esunce's remark was
the evident stress that he laid on
thought as the underlying force; his
intimation that 1t is the thought,
which controls and motives the act,
rather than the act itself, about which
we should concern ourselves. This
enunciates a great principle. The
world is too prone TO try to reform
itself entirely by the backward proc
ess Of eliminating or correcting only
its acts. The better way IS to change
the thought that results in the acts
Then the acts change themselves.
The only reform that amounts to
anything is the reform that is the re-
suit of education. The time to begin
10 educate is all the time.
