WHITE WINGED.
ANGEL OF PEACE
SO Roosevelt Appears to
Social Scientist
MAJESTIC FIGURE OF CENTURY.
Glowing EuIOgy of President By Pro-
feSSOr of New York University
Before American Social
Science Association.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. IA (Spec-
iaD-A glowing tribute to President
Roosevelt, in which he was referred
to as "a white-winged angel of peace, y
was a feature of the address of DR..
Isaac Franklin Russell, of New York
university. before the American Social
Science association today. DR. Rus
sells subject was American Rever-
ence for Law" He spoke in part as
follows:
Behold our President; Aye, there's
a man. What eulogy can oVerstate
his virtues? The very defects of his
temperament, which his critics are
quick to point out, his intense pas
sion for truth and justice and liberty
and right, his respondent patriotism
and glowing enthusiasms for human
ity-it is these that made him hope
two years ago when all the world de-
SPARED, and enabled him to bring out
of the darkness and gloom that had
fallen on Manchuria the glorious light
of the peace of Portsmouth.
"I love to see his picture every
where. They say he shot a man at
Santiago; and when the orders came
to him to take a hill somewhere in the
whole wide field Of San Juan, he did
not stop to ask its name, but prompt
ly drew his sword, rallied the rough
riders at his command, stormed the
citadel and swept the Spaniards from
the heights,
"How heroic was the gallant col
onel then, a belted knight indeed with

Freaks of the World to Gather.

Whatever action may be taken, it
is evident that the congress here will
be an important one in the history of
the Philosophical movement. Mildew-
ed theories which flourished in Asia
thousands of years ago will ge re-
hashed and ventilated by gifted 'initia-
tes." Occult and esoteric mysteries
promulgated by the sages and wise
men of India will be considered in
the light of their modern applications
and the interrogation points Of the
ages will meet with ready answers
Many prominent speakers are on the
program and the number of delegates
already here gives promises of the
most largely attended convention in
the history of the American society.
The Philosophical society was or
ganized in 1875 by Madam B. Blaya-
tasky and Colonel Henry Steel Oh
colt a veteran of the civil war and
once a we'll known newspaper man
It's headquarters are in Adyar, India
where Mrs. Besant makes her home
and it is represented by bodies OF
followers in nearly every nation. Its
lodges are self-governing and the
individual members are required tc
subscribe to no fixed creed. It's pur-
pose, in addition to forming a uniyer-
sal brotherhood, are to promote the
study Of comparative religion, philos-
ophy and science and to investigate
the unexplained laws of nature and
the powers latent in man.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-09-15
4 Woman of Rare Talent.

The. American opposition to the
gifted Mrs. Besant-even her enc
mics admit that she is q woman of
rare talent and undoubted genius-is
based largely on ethical grounds al
though the question of spiritulism al
so enters. The more conservative ell
ement among the Theosophists fear
that Mrs. Besant will again place
Charles w. Leadbeater, a former
prominent TheosOphist who was-driv-
en- from the American society because
of gross immortality, in a position of
influence.
Mrs. Besant has announced that no
moral standard is necessary or re-
Quired for membership in the society,
and that Leadbetter's expulsion was
therefore unWarranted. None has the
right to exclude his brother for diff
ferences of thought or mode of life,
declares the feminine high priest
None can claim for his own thought
or mode of life a fuller liberty of eX-
preston than he claims for that OF
another, Tolerance even with the in
tolerant must be the rule"
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-09-15
0beys Invisible Master.

Other American members oppose
Mrs Besant because of the new dog
ma promulgated by her that the af-
fairs of the society are governed and
her nomination and election made
possible by invisible masters" of the
spirit world" This infusion of the
discredited doctrines of decaying
spiritualism is a bitter pill for May
Theosophists to swallow, and it is
possible that they may spew it out,
and the worlds leader along with it.
An effort will be made to commit
the convention to a moral code and to
some expression of opinion that will
prevent the society becoming spir-
itualistic side show, with Little
Bright Eyes" Indian guides, trance
artists, mediums and slate writers.
Smitten with the American idea
that morality and decency are neces-
sary requisites to high thinking and
right living, the American members
will attempt to adopt a provision that
will prevent the society from becom-
ing a refuge for moral perverts.
1t is pointed out that Mrs. Besant,
when prominent throughout the

be fought, let us hope, not on fields OF
blood but in the arena Of reason. The
constitutional safeguards of liberty
must be re-established and strength
ened. the accommodations of honest in
dustry must be sheltered from rapac-
ious raids, and the humble hoard Of the
poor and the funds held in holy trust
for the widow and orphan must be
released from the grip of the CRATER.
America has in the past taught
mankind many truths about the moral
order of the world; her future task
may be to teach, by precept and ex-
ample, great lessons in the arts OF
peace, in the diffusion of sound learn
ing and the establishment of justice
among men.
"A Roman triumph was the most
gorgeous of barbaric pageants. The
victorious general and his conquering
cohorts fingered outside the city gate
till a grateful senate voted the su-
preme honor of a triumph to the man
who led the Iegions. And then, for a
mad. delirious hour, the world was
his-the world of glory, adulation and
applause, as the martial procession,
with spoils and royal capitives, swept
up the Capitoline hill, amid the intoX-
icating shouts of the people.
To-day the Coliseum crumbles, the
forum is deserted and the Caesars are
handfuls of dust; but the Roman prae-
tor has mounted the tribunals of all
civilized nations and sits by the side
of chief justices in Washington, Paris
and Westminster.
