have the President or the United states, q
member of the cabinet and a justice of the
Supreme Court made addresses
The church was completely filled. The
center aisle only had been reserved for in
vited guests. the remainder being thrown
open to the public. The auditorium was
beautifully decorated for the occasion, with
trailing vines around the gallery, stately
palms beside the pulpit and an immense
American flag draped over the arch above
the platform and the incandescent lights
by which the platform was lighted shone
with soft light through screens of ferns
Arrival Of the President.
Persons began to arrive long before the
hour set for the commencement of the ex-
ercises and the church filled when the
President arrived at 7:45 o'clock. The au-
dence rose in the seats when the President
entered. He proceeded to his seat in the
Lincoln pew" escorted by General Breck-
inridge. The old pew is half way down the
center aisle on the right as one faces the
pulpit. With the President sat Secretary
and Mrs HAY and General Breckenridge,
while in the pew in front were Secretary
and Mrs. Cortelyou Secretaries Shaw,
Moody and Hitchcock and Attorney Cen
cral Knox were seated near by, as were also
the greater number of the justices of the
United States and District Supreme Courts,
Senator Frye. president pro tempore or the
Senate; the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia, and large number OF the
resentatives.
In keeping with the anniversary celebra-
ton the program for the evening was de-
voted almost entirely to history. The CHIEF
address of the evening was made by John
Bach McMastefs, LID, of the University
of Pennsylvania author of THE History of
the People of the United States" who has
been called the IN storian of the American
people" His address was on The Ameri-
can of 1893 the date being that of the
founding of the New York Avenue Presby-
terrain Church. Is address was supple
mented by the shorter historical talks of
the President, Secretary Hay and Justice
Harlan. DIR. McMasters reviewed the his
tory of the nation up to 1893 and compared
the ideas and customs of the man of that
day with those of the man of today. He
showed that our forefathers had high
| ideals of government and manhood, but
| that it had been left to later generations to
| carry them out
| That no age should find excuse for its
| misdeeds in the imperfections of the past
was the moral that Pres dent Roosevelt
| drew from these words He said that as
! the Americans of today look back with in
| credulty the barbarisms of the early
! years of our national existence, so he hoped
! the coming generations would look back on
| our faults. The President spoke reverently
| of the fact that he sat in the pew whore
| Lincoln had sat so often, and remarked
| upon the coincidence that he had as his
| Secretary of State the man who had be
| Ltncoln's private secretary. Secretary Hay
and Justice Harlan both spoke of Lincoln
! and his connection with the church.

hardly possible that DR.. Layton con-
templates entering the race for Cover

one term should be enough. Besides
he knows that the office was promised
John Hum again as a reward for his
refusal to sign the Voters Assistant re-
pealer. And since he was appointed to
his present lucrative office by Governor

move to suoplant him.
With the support Of Addicks and his
money it would be interesting to see
how many votes a State ticket headed
by c. r. Layton would poll. But with
out this support 1t would fall behind
the vote OF the Prohibition ticket. A
new Republican party with Layton, Of
Sussex; Conner. Of Kent, and Bach. of
New Castle, as leaders, would be

EDITORIAL OPINION
The aRepresentativev set.

We noted briefly yesterday the
cheering announcement OF the New
York Times that the representative
set" were beginning to return
to America. Unfortunately the an
nouncement neglected to say why
they were coming or what they repre-
sent.
But there is good reason TO believe
that these immigrant -emigrant So
iourners. to-and-froing across the
ocean. do imagine that they really rep
resent this industrious and purposeful
people They think they are II, and
take themselves as seriously as the fool
paragraph which we have quoted takes
them. They may be the representa-
tive set" but they represent progeni-
tors, who, having squatted with their
cabins where big cities have developed.
have made fortunes by selling the real
estate, or who. having played with
marked cards I'm Wall street. have
made so many millions at the game
that the spots on the cards have been
forgotten and the proceeds alone are
remembered.
These rich idlers have their uses.
They are not merely slgnboards of the
road not to take, but they help TO sup
port the great army of workers who
make a living by producing the luXur-
les consumed by these Representative"
people. Though they do nothing them
selves they help TO keep others busy.
II Is difficult to imagine "A more futile
life than they lead or one less attract
/ i've to a genuine American. No doubt,
they are widely envied, but 1t is for
what is in their bank accounts and
their pockets and not for what is IN
their heads.
We call work a curse, but il is really
the very opposite. The man most out
of place is the fellow who does nothing
amid the activities of this busy world
The noaters of civilization are repre-
sentative, but they represent a by-pro-
duct of progress and are only an acci-
dent of the general welfare. There is
room enough for them here when they
arrive and no vacancy TO MI when they
go back again. Take their names oui
of the sassaciety columns of the met
ropolitan press and you take the pur'
pose out of their lives and the little
circle i'm which they move becomes II
all respects a cipher.
