PosTPoNEs HIS DEPARTURE.
President Anxious to Aid in Further
ing Peace Negotiations.

Washington, June 19.-While the
progress of the preliminary negotia-
lions for peace between the Far East
ern belligerents is necessarily slow at
this stage OF the proceedings 1t is
known that President Roosevelt hopes
they practically may be concluded be-
fore he shall go to Oyster Bay for the
summer. His desire to facilitate in
every possible way the negotiations In.
duced him to reconsider his original
plan to go to Oyster Bay this week.
After his visit to Worcester and Will
Jamestown, Mass, where he will go to
attend the commencement exercises OF
Clark university and Williams college
he will return to Washington, arriving
here next Friday morning. 1t is ex'
pected that IL nothing unforeseen shall
have occurred In the meantime some
definite announcement of the status of
the negotiations may be made soon
after his return. There is a possibil-
ity even that the selection OF the pleni-
potentiaries OF both Russia and Japan
may be announced before the presi-
orhl itaNCs ioi OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Would Avert General Engagement.
II is the hope here that the arrange
ments for the conference may pro-
coed with such facility as to avert a
general engagement in Manchuria be-
tween the forces of Generals Linevitch
and Oyama. The precipitation of a
great battle at the present stage Of the
peace negotiations would be regarded
here as a most unfortunate error of
1udgment-an error which might Inn
peril seriously the negotiations for the
conference. Indeed, 1t Is believed
In some quarters that whatever might
be the result of such conflict 1t would
arouse SO much bitterness that the
negotiations, the status Of which is
now so favorable, would collapse.
II can be said that President Roose-
welt is giving no heed to irritating per-
sonal references to him which have
appeared In a part of the Russian
press. His conduct of the peace nego-
tiations thus far has been as nearly
directly as possible with the emperors
OF the belligerent powers and the ar
rangements concluded represent their
personal views as well as his own.

welt and even that is considered slen-
der. So far as known the president
has not taken a positive step in this
direction. The impression here con-
tinues strong that Japan only with
great reluctance could be induced TO
torego the advantages Of her strategic
position which, despite the tone of the
official advices from the front, are re-
garded as being altogether favorable
to Field Marshal Oyama, and agree to
q suspension of hostilities for at least
six weeks, during which time thou
sands of reinforcements would reach
General Linevitch and Vladivostok
would be strengthened with munitions
and supplies to Withstand a siege. In
deed, 1t is suggested that Japan DELHI
erately planned to postpone the meet
ing long enough to give Oyama a
chance to administer to the Russians
q fresh defeat on land In order to rob
the war party In Russia OF their last
card and facilitate acquiescence to her
terms. Considering the situation.
therefore, President Roosevelt's tri-
umph will be all the greater IL he
could now succeed in GROWING his
work by an agreement which would at
least prevent another bloody battle
pending the show of hands ut Wash
ington. At the British embassy the
Associated Press was informed that
Great Britain had not offered Japan
any advice on the subject.

Sticklers for Strict Enforcement

as stic1lers for the strict enforcement of
the law. They wait 1t with an ak n nee

are already getting busy.
But whatita howl of Indignation there ia

personal liberty. dsrhey are now coming
after me not to interfere in this way.

wire tapper-ands your clergyman gets
caught as often as any one else, and can
prove it. The sacred religion of personal
liberty! I must instruct the patroiman to
carry chapter 1905 Of Blackstone in his
helmet and read that before he makes an
arrest, The lowly automobiIist must even
go two blocks out of his way to enter the
park while the nursemaid and baby ga fefy
cross the street.

Cannot Compete With Press.

FIN the first place, you minister's can't
compete with a sensational press. They
work seven days to your one; secondly,
they have at least four editions to your
one; and, thirdly, you can't pander to the
sensational appeutes they often have to.
The church cannot compete with the po-
Iitical club, for 1t has no reward to offer
like that of the political club. The church
cannot compete with the theater, for 1t
merely entertains and the church must do
more than entertain. The theaters of this
city as whole do not make for the best.
When they attempt to entertain us 1t Is
too often at the expense of the marital
state. They treat 1t as a joke, and GER
tainIy the church can't do that. The church
cannot compete with ethical clubs. If New
York were made up of ethical clubs Ia
resign the commssionership. I'm only
speaking as a cop. I've no business to talk
theology.
THE object of the church and ministers
should be not to try and push the fallen
woman or degraded man down the grade,
but to push them up 1t would be better
to see the church do more of the latter, too.
The church Is too much like a political club.
If you are in the club you're all good. but
if YOU are not you are bad. Let the church
touch the bad people in the church. Do
that and you won't need any political cru
sades The politician is the most Initiative
creature in the world, and If you ministers
make Sunday church-going the fashion of
this town you'll soon have the politician

houses called gambling houses and houses

would be SO fine distinction that you
could not tell the difference. But the people
