Rev. Frank Fay Eddy discussed the

STATE SENATORS DE-
BATE IN NEW JERSEY

Morristown, n. j., Aug. 29.-The
first OF the two joint debates arranged
between Senator Thomas J. Hillery
of Morris county and Senator Everett
Colby of Essex county, will be held
here this evening. The second will
be held tomorrow evening al Boon
ton, the home town of the Morris
county senator.
The debate grew out Of some re-
marks that were made at a New
Idea" meeting which Senator Hillery
considered a reflection upon himself.
He wrote a letter to the Essex SEN
ator, in which he challenged him to
an open debate, saying he did so not
only in defense of his reputation as
a legislator, OF which he was natur-
ally jealous, but also in behalf of the
people Of Morris county, who had re-
turned him several times 10 the state
legislature, with increased majorlues,
and who were entitled to an account
Of his political stewardship. The chal-
lenge was accepted by Senator Colby,
and after some correspondence the
two debates were arranged. It IS ex-
pected that the friends OF both SEN
ators win attend the meeting in full
force.

MISSING LIEUTENANT
NOT FOUND YET

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 29-The
war department has heard nothing
further concerning Lieutenant John S.
Hamilton of the l24th Infantry, since
his disappearance, some weeks ago,
from Fort Jay, New York, where he
was stationed. Fears are entertained
by his friends that he is mentally af-
fected and that some harm has come
to him. His brother, formerly lieu
tenant in the army, is now a patient
at the government hospital for the
insane here, where he was sent fol-
lowing a series OF wild escapades in
the Philippines. The two officers were
twin brothers and obtained commits
sions in the army about the same
time. They gave promise of being
bright and capable officers and of hav-
ing most creditable careers. Lieuten-
ant l.. c. hamilton. brother OF Lieu
tenant J. S. Hamilton, resigned by re-
quest before IT was fully known in
Washington 10 what extent he had
misbehaved himself, or that he was
mentally affected, The absence of the
other brother has created much sym
pathy for the family Of the two young
men. The military authorities do not
expect TO hear again of Lieutenant
Hamilton, unless he is overtaken
somewhere. He will then be tried for
absence without leave. II he does not
appear Of his own accord within three
months he viii be dropped from the
army register as a deserter al the
end of that period.

.SEABOARD SHOW PLAC-
ES BEG FOR SHIP

Washington, d. c., Aug. 29.-The
navy department is receiving numer-
Gus requests from places along the
sea coast for the detail of one or more
ships of war to take part in local cell
ebrations. Some of these requests
come from seaside resorts where the
navy forms obviously an attraction to
visitors. and in some instances the
request has no other reason for being
made than that the navy is to be used
in this connection
Secretary Bonaparts sees all of
these requests, and most of them have
10 be unfavorably acted upon. for the
reason thai there ale no ships on the
Atlantic fleet which can be spared
for this purpose. This year the navy
has been exceptionally busy in a prac-
tical way, and the program for man
euveTs has been unbroken by any
thing which resembles the excursions
and frivolity of other years. It Is the
policy OF the present administration
to keep the naval service keyed up
to a standard of efficiency. a sort or
perpetual preparedness for action.
This has been accomplished by a pre-
arranged schedule of work which in
cludes the kind of activity in which
the navy would be called upon to take
part in me event OF actual hOstlities.
All of the exercises require reports
from the officers who conduct them
together with suggestions of improve
ments in construction and equipment
which will remedy defects and add 10

tion in time of war 1t is for this
reason that the secretary Of the navy

relation we bear to the nation and the
particular states of which we are cit
izens, but underlying that must always
be the question, how stands the indi-
vidual, everywhere, throughout the
world, in his relation TO the social or
political organization in which he finds
himself? Undeniably, he gives up
much. He gives up the right to be
law unto himself; TO make war upon
mankind, to hold by force and not by
contract or conventions; in other words
he surrenders the simplicity of barbar-
ism for the complicated. artificial idea
of civilization. And what does he get
in return? Does he get all that the
spirit of the agreement contemplates?
Probably he does not. The unsatisfied
aspirations, the eager desire for bet
ter conditions, the constant pressure,
upward and outward, shows that, reas.
onably or unreasonably, there is ey-
erywhere a profound feeling that since
so much has been given something
more ought to have been received.
This feeling is at the bottom of nearly
all proposed acts of constructive le-
gislatiou. That we ar FAR bette 81
than we should be without the author
ity and protection of institutional gov
ernment, all must admit, but that If
not the question-certainly not the en-.
tire question. Are we as well off as
We ought to be? The "shrinkage' in
the individual life has been something
but the larger liberty of man, the lib
erty that can silently rest, waking ol
sleeping, under the shield of estab'
lished government, is compensation {
thousandfold.
Legislation is not only the adoption
of positive rules of conduct; it is, If
may so express it, experimentation
It is feeling the way, exploring paths
that may or may not lead to the righ
goal. 1t is certain that many bad law
are enacted, many unnecessary one
and many foolish ones, but, on tn,
whole, do we not move along towart
better things? Undoubtedly we hav'
too much legislation, but is not ou

mary of the important legislation of
the past year both in the national con-
gress and in the state legislature. 1t
dealt at length with the congressional
enactments on the subject of railway
rates and pure food, as well as the
trust legislation of the national gov
ernment. He said:
Historical jurisprudence the birth,
growth and development of law in its
highest sense, is a study We ought 10
pursue far more assiduously than we
DO. Self government, the recognition
or mutual rights and mutual obliga-
uons, is perhaps the highest achieve
ment of the race" He traced the de-
Velopment of government from the
primitive form through all the various
stages to the highest and most COM
pllcated form demanded by modern
civilization, and quoting from Maeter-
linck's Life of the Bee" that lin pro-
portion as society organizes itself and
rises in the scale, so does a shrinkage
enter the private life of each one of
its members" ANY government"
said he, however imperfect, is better
than no government, which is an
archy. If we have too much govern
ment, as many of us believe. is ii pos
sible in the present state of human
wisdom to have just enough restraint
and just enough personal freedom?
An excess of the one no doubt means
diminution of the other, but what
human intelligence can fix a perfecr
equilibrium? There is in the litera-
ture Of the subject much unintelligible
defamation which does not tend to
enlighten searchers after truth. The
subject is too large for the grasp of
the average mind; the points of view
are so numerous and so variant that
the most laboriOus inquiry leads TO no
acceptable and final conclusion. The
dilletante thinker is always ready with
a knowledge that puts an end to ra-
tional discussion. Where Austin and
Bontham could only grope the village
paper and the magazine contributor
exhaust the subject in a single article.
The most complicated system Of gov
ernment in the world is our American
system, but it is, in my opinion, the
most nearly perfect. But yet we can
not escape the persistent inquiry
does II pay? What do We give Up,
and what do We get in return? Let
the inquiry be enlarged so as 10 COW
eT, not simply our relations 10 our
own governments, state and national,
but 10 government itself as an in
sUtution of civilization. We are, OF
course, primarily concerned with the

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. $3.50 great
was the confidence in Frank X. Hip
pie, late president of the Real Estate
Trust company, which yesterday was
forced to the wall because of secret
business transactions on the part of
Nipple, that his institution was vir-
tually the bank of the Presbyterian
church AS treasurer of the trustees
of the general assembly Nipple had
control of over Sl,000,0O0, and as the
treasurer of the permanent committee
on Home Missions and Sustenation in
the Synod of Pennsylvania and the
Presbyterian hospital or this city.
other large amouts were at his com
mand.
Coroner of Precinct Read admits
that Nipple may have committed sui
clde. F1nanciers says Nipple lost
heavily in Consolidated Lake Superior
company stock, several years ago.
However, real estate investments
seem to have engaged his attention
and money almost exclusively. This
Is borne out through his connections
with Adolph Segal and the latUers en-
terprises.
Today the name of Segal is on the
lips of everybody in Philadelphia. His
rise from toller over the soap caul-
dron in ten by twelve cellar in west
Philadelphia, less than twenty years
ago. to the handler of millions of dol
lars, has been exceedingly spectacu
| lar.
1t is the expressed opinion of the
bankers that the failure does not in
volve any other banking house in the
city. According to John NJ. Michener
president of the Clearing House asso
ciation, that body stood ready to ad
vance ali the money required by the
Trust company, provided proper Sc
curity was offered. The directors O
the Trust company are heavily crit.
