The other day a negro walked into
the pawnshop Of D. Gellman, on West
Broad Street and without any provoca-
ton from the clerk. picked up the large
iron spittoon in the front Of the store
and SHE'D it at the head of Mr.. Cell
mans nephew, Harry Gellman. who was
in charge at the time. Besides damaging
n lot Of clothes in It's way, the flying
missile struck the forearm which Mr.
Gellman had raised to protect himself
and cut deep cash into the flesh
The matter was reported to the police.
TO whom Mr.. Gellman could assign no
reason why the foul attack should be
made on him. Detective Mcmahon, who
took the case in hand, had In mind a
negro named Moses Davis whom the de-
scrlption given by the pRwnbroker lifted
like a taior-made suit of clothes. Any
how, 1t was not long before Davis was
apprehended, and he has confessed the

lion came from the hand of his COM
panion, which Is enough for the police

A Charity Sermon.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir: The beginning
Of charity is certainly at home. This was demon
strated In the nrst OF creation by Adam when he
stayed with Eve for better or for worse after she
insisted upon moving into the house Of too much
trouble" and started the cauldron OF humanity 10
boiling.
As for Americans contributing to the sustenance
OF historic England-what next Is TO be asked OF u.s.
Are we not doing enough for historic England"
when we furnish IL with moneyed wives2 Why
not then also keep the Vatican In repair and restore
the Pyramids and Sphynx, build a refuge home"
for destitute Russians. and meanwhile give our
own starving population the "kibosh."
No, thank God. the average American. rich or
poor. Is IesOurceful and dilgent enough To night
out his own grievances. He requires little assist
ance himself. and he Is always a little too willing
20 help the other fellow. Emerson never spoke
a more Just or more harshly beautiful truth than
when he said: GO, love thy infant; love thy
woodchopper. be good natured and modest: have
that grace: and never varntsh your hard, unchart-
table ambition with this Incredible tenderness for
black folk a thousand miles on. Thy love afar Is
spite al home"
THIS applies TO all charity In all countries. Emer.
son was OF the stun that religion is made of. Re.
lIgiOn Is nine tenths charity, and charity should be
our religion. But contributing TO dead instltu-
TONS Is not charity, by any means. Charity be-
gins in the deepest wells OF the heart, and that
should be AT home. JUNIUs.

GOVERNOR STOKES.
Would He Break His oath OF once by BE
omlnK q United states senator?

To rBE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir' Your
editorial OF Sunday pointing out what has
long been conceded that the United states
Constitution will not be All obstacle to the
seating OF Governor Stokes In the United
States Senate IL he il elected by the New
Jersey Legislature. has caused much COM
ment. because of the infercnces to he drawn
from IL. Among these perhaps the first Is
that there Is no objection TO the election OF
Governor Stokes by the Legislature. An
oOher Inference is that any one who raises
any objection Is necessarily in favor OF
there election Of Dryden. Neither inference
seems to me warranted by the facts. There
are certainly many men in New jersey other
han Dryden or Stokes who are qualified for
the 0f1ce. and IL by no means follows that
one who opposes Stokes favors Dryden.
The real question at issue IL the moral one.
Admitting hat Governor Stokes, II elected,
would be seated. how does that answer the
moral question involved2 II people OF
New r Jersey IS declared din II II their aI.c cSPf sT tnSIr
Legislature TO the Office Of United states
Senator. The members of the Legislature
to obey their Constitution accepted the trust
with fun knowledge that the. Constitution
eSSntained that Prohibition; Before taE beS
would bid by that Constitution.
The Governor also swore 20 abide by AND
uphold the Constitution of his State, which
he knew forbade his election to the United
States Senate. Suppose he had declared
during his campaign for. Office that he did
not In end to be bound by the Constitution
Of his State in this respect. nor by his oath OF
office. Do you imagine he would have been
elected? What do you think will he the atti-
tude Of the Republican party next fall IL it
elects Governor Stokes to the Senate This
winter? =.
The reelection Of Senator Dryden would
doubtless turn the State over to the Democ-
racy for years to come. but the election OF
Governor Stokes, in face of the constitutional
prohibition, would be a far more serious
afair. If the Constitution OF the State and
the solemn oath of Office mean nothing,
even to the party OF high moral protestatlons,
then who car be trusted? Then indeed what
Is a little thing liFe the Constitution among
friends2"
Dryden will not be reelected. So much is
reasonably sure. Rut that a great moral
newspaper like THE SUN should seem to adj
vocate such treachery 70 the people as would
be the election of Governor Stokes il to be
deplOred. and l earnestly hope to see IL correc.
the impression given by the editorial in cues
ton. A. V. SCHENCK.
