THE BREAD LINE lfOURNS.
Episcopal Service for Louis Fleisch-
mann, Who Had Been a Catholic.

From across the street. but with heads uncov-
cred, the bread line delegation paid it's last trib
ute to the memory of Louis Fleischmann at the
funeral Of the wealthy baker yesterday afternoon
In view OF the fact that Mr.. Fleischnann was
fessed that faith while abroad. some comment was
caused by the nature Of the service, which was
Episcopal and was conducted BY Archdeacon NsI-
son.
II IS understood that Mr.. FIeischmann was q
personal friend Of Bishop Potter. who was asked
to oficate, but did not arrive IN time. although he
had telegraphed from his country homs that he
was on the way.
Relatives OF Mr.. Flefschmann told Trfbuns re-
porter last night that they could say what faith
Mr. Fleischmann professed while living here He
attended no church while in this country.
At the funeral the bread line was kept on the
opposite side Of the street By platoon Of police.
The funeral was strictly private. and was held
at Ny Fleischmann's home. No. West Seventy

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
"THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED.
Jefferson the First to Repudiate This
Utterance of Declaration.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: St. Louis is full. this year. OF pictures and
statues of Jefferson; hotels are named for
him everywhere. and the government has had
special postage stamps issued bearing his efngy.
All this is 10 signaliZe his part IN negotiating
the Louisiana Purchase, one hundred years ago.
The history of this purchase reads oddly in
connection with the assertion embodied in the
Declaration Of Independence that governments
derive their just powers from the consent Of the
governed
This assertion. as practically the whole Of the
Declaration. was penned by Thomas Jefferson. If
ne believed it. 1t a specimen of a different
Kind OF "Jefersonian simplicity" from that for
which he was famous. kind OF simplicity that did
not stay long with him
Inc maxim was most trenchant long II
worked for our advantage. and It was. perhaps,
oVerworked in this way. But no sooner did 1t
work against our interests than it was inconti-
nently discarded 1t fell to Jefferson himself NOT
only to repudiate it. but to institute policy of
Iepuolation from which the government has not
deFiated in single instance since.
The first opportunity for applying TO others the
selves was afforded by the event whose centenary
observed as the foundation OF our national ethics,
the vindicatiOn of our right to independence? Not
even asked. and tho weeping creoles protested TO
Florida afforded the next chance to eat our
own words. which we did Tith evident gusto' aP-
PIE without as much as saying by your leave"
This was in 1920
Then came Mexico IN 1s47-'4S one-half of whose
territory seized willy nilly, making American
citizens of the Inhabitants whose descendants to
this day have never become fully reconced to the
hated "CrinEoes."
few years later we sent military expedition
into Utah to bring the unwilling people to
fer upon us the just powers derived from the
consent Of the governed
But the crowning application of Jeferson's
maxim was in 1861 -'65, when. at the expense Of
six hundred thousand lives and six thousand mil
lions of dollars sovereign" States were forced
back into submission to a government which they
could not longer resist. Almost At the same time
We annexed Alaska without asking tho consent
of the people Of the seals.
And now. in these latter days, without asking
the consent Of the islanders, OF their al
lies in this country. We have appropriated the
Philippines What IS there in this last "aggres-
SION that excites the wrath OF the antmperial-
lists? Could they have expected anything else
from our national habit? Why should they single
out this one act for reprobatiOn while remaining
silent as to a century Of "spoliation'? Why do
they not as one man cry out for the undoing OF
ell this record Of 'infamy''? II they despair Of
this will they not demand that at least we re-
write the Declaration OF independence. leaving out
that unfortunate allusion 10 the consent ot the
governed Not until they DO this can they ex-
pect credit for sincerity.
