LORD FAIRFAX RETURNING.

After several years of indecision be-
tween remaining plain "Mr. Albert Kir-
by Fairfax, U. S. A." or taking the
title of Lord Fairfax, twelfth Baron OF
Cameron, Lord Fairfax has chosen the
title and is returning on the steamer
Adriatic, which left Southampton last
Wednesday, TO resume his business
career in Wall street, New York.
Lord Fairfax Is a member of the bank
ing firm of William r. Bonbril hit 4 Co. :,
and has been representing the firm in
It's London Office Tor year. Although
the rightfnl possessor Of the tile for fey-
eral years, Lord Fairfax hitherto has
preferred TO remain an American citizen.
When he returned from England in
1904, after having attended the corona
ton of King Edward as a peer, he still
declared he was as Pre- found an American
rs ever before, and remarked that no
matter what his friends might prefer TO
call him, his baggage would always be
marked "a. X. Fairfax, New York, u.
s. A."
Even when bis lordship left New York
the last time he insisted he would return
as he departed, an American ciiizsn, but
bis friends say he has now declared slIe-
glance TO the B iiish Crown, and that
while be will continue his residence in
this country he will, nevertheless, be
British subject as we'll as British lord.
"Butke's Peeraee" DOW gives his resi-
dence rs "No. % Upper George street,
EXPANSION Square, w, London" MeG-
bers of the firm of Bonbright & %.
state that while 1t was tue that Fairfax
had become British subject, 1t was also
true that be was just as good an Ameri-
can at heart as ever, and would continue
to do business in this country.
Lord Fairfax inherits the title from
his father, DR.. John Csntee Fairfax of
Calvert county, Maryland, who, like his
American ancestors, declined to &c, ept
his rightful title and always remained
plain DR.. Fairfax. The family has been
prominent in the South, especially in
Virginia, for more than two centuri,s.
The present Lord Fairfax is 81 years
old, and has been employed by various
Wall street firms for the last Is years.

FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. %. 1907.

DR.. WILLS FLETCHER JOHNSON re-
Gently delivered a lecture on qualifi-
cations for citizenship before the COM
mittee on patriotism of the New York
Federation of Women's Clubs in New
York. Among ether things he said:
There can be no citizenship until there
ia an organized State, Of which men
can be citizsns, and each State has a
right to determine who its citizsn shall
be and what shall be their qualifica-
tiops. 10 the beginning Adam was the
only citizeg, and probably ruled Eve
with club. In patriarchal times the
head OF the family wes supreme and the
other members and servants had no
rights which he was bound to respect.
When governments arose, whether mon
archicsI or democratic, conditions OF
citizenship were imposed. Catholic c0un
tries disfauchised Protestants snd Prot
es,ant countries dsiranchised Catholics.
Ia this country the national constltu-
tion prescribes certain conditions OF cit
izsnsbip and the constitutions OF the
States add Others. Practically the same
forms of government which now exist
existed centuries ago, supported by the
Same arguments, denounced for the same
reasons. Nor has there been any ma
terisl change in the disposition of SOW
ereigps. Between Alexander and Ma
poleon there was no difference of kind
and little Of degree. And doubtless the
early republics of Greece and Rome had
their rings, and bosses, and ballot box
suffers. and fasions, and refOrmers, and
mupwumps, Just SO we have them today.
The only real advancement has been in
the general character Of the people, and
in their relationship to the State-in
brief, in the evolution of citizenship.
DR.. Johnson protested against allow
ing "any one aud every one, without
one serious thought Of preparation, to
rush hesdlong into the delicate, intri-
cate and unspeakably important work of
guiding the progress and determining the
UeSLlDitS VI ihIbhtJ ShiPANs
with a great price men were in old times
eager to purchase The freedom Of
Romsn citizen, ia it TO much" he asked,
"to demand that for the freedom, and
the rights and the honor, and the almost
infinite potentialities of American cit
izenship they shall pay the price Of being
virtuous, intelligent and Industrious"
In conclusion the lecturer said:
That nation will be strongest and most
enduring which learns most fully that
the Kingdom of God cometh not through
booms and deals and spread eagle cam
paigus; no, nor through occasional
spasms of yirtuous investigation and re-
form, but through the steady and gen
eral and incessan. forward searching Of
the people toward that type of public
and of private manhood which bears the
impress Of the form divine.

SOCIETY is no longer an attraction to
the great middle class in New York,
aud this fact is given as a reason for The
failure OF the horse show at Madison
Square Garden. Not in years has there
been so good q display Of horse flesh at
Madison Square Garden as this year.
Seldom has the number of society folk
or the elegance Of the women's dresses
equslled that at the present show. But
from tho standpoint of spectators the
exhibition is frost. Society is out Ia
see the horse, but the more importan!
factor, people out to see society, is wholly
lacking. And the reason it is suggest
ed, is not far TO seek. Revelations Of
corruption in high places, of breaches
of trust by society leaders land wholesale
departures from honest business methods
have caused the people to lose the awe
that formerly characterized them when
illustrious society names were under
consideration. And the departure Of
that awe has robbed the "4O0' Of lis
potency as a box Office attraction. The
galleries are silent and the only Other
demonstrations come from the thin crowd
of real horse lovers about the rail watch
ing the eyolutions Of the show OF the
animals.
