DID ROOSEVELT
DESIGNATE TAFT
NEAL BROWN FEARS "PRESIDEN-
TIAL APOSTOLIC SUc-
CESSION."
TRADITIONAL SAFEGUARDS OF
REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT
THREATENED
DOGMA OF DIVINE RIGHT OF
KINGS APPEARS IN A
NEW DRESS.

Neal Brown of Wausau, candidate
for the democratic nomination for
United States senator, is nothing if not
out-spOken and emphatic in his views
on what he calls The presidential
apostolic succession" On this subject
Mr.. Brown has this to say in a letter
to this paper:
Roosevelt has appointed Taft as his
successor For many months the presi-
dent has been engaged in the work of
securing this appointment, using all
bis official influence for this purpose.
1t is silly cavil to say that in securing
Taft's nomination he was acting in his
capacity. The president Of the United
States has very little private capacity.
When he speaks, he speaks with the
voice Of power, power given HIM by
his great office Taft eagerly asserts
that he is for RoOsevelt's policies. As
one Of these policies is the appoint
ment of a successor, We may expect
that Taft will, in like manner, select
his own successor Perhaps he has al
ready anticipated this and selected
Roosevelt, or someone equally as good
or equally as Understanding to tie

The Human Eye.

The language Of the eye is very
hard to counterfeit. You can read
in the eyes of your companions while
you talk, whether your argument hits
him, though his tongue will not con-
fess it. There is a look by which a
man shows that heis going to say a
good thing, and look when he has
said it. Vain and forgotten are all
fine offices Of hospitality, if there be
no holiday in the eye. How many
fugitive invitations are vowed by the
lips? A man comes away from a
company; he has heard no important
remark; but if in sympathy with the
society, he is ccgnizant of such a
stream of lief as has been flowing to
him through the eyes. There are
eyes that give no more admission in
them than blackberries; others are
liquid and deep wells that men might
fall into; and others are oppressive
and devouring, and take too much
notice. There are asking eyes, and
asserting eyes, and prowling eyes,
and eyes of faith-some of good and
some of sinister omen.-Emerson.

The Mighty Dollar.

The Rev. DR.. R. S. Macarthur of
Calvary Baptist church said at din
ner in New York, apropos Of inter
national marriages:
Some of these marriages are from
every point Of view desirable. Some,
again, are-but a dialogue will illus
trate my meaning.
"'Oh, Helen cried a girl worth
$1S,OOO,OOO, do you think the duke is
sincere?"
|Sincere?' was the reply. why, of
course he's sincere. He hasn't got a
dollar to his name.
DR.. Macarthur paused.
Cor this" he added:
"A young marquis rushed upon his
American f1ancee and shouted bitter
Iy:
''Cruel, heartIess girl! You swore
you loved me, and now discover that
your father is a bankrupt"

Ideal RELIGION.

The Rev. G. H. Gilbert, retired
CONGREGATIONAL minister, writes inter
estingly in the Atlantic on Religion
in an Ideal Commonwealth and dis
cusses More's Utopia in ~ aspect.
He says in part: What " style de-
is thus kept out OF
sight. 1t is not allowed to divide them
in their worship of God 1t does not
advertise itself by building six
churches where only one is needed, or
by maintaining theological schools
where an equipment adequate for the
training Of five hundred students is
squandered on fifty" And again: II
may be that If another Thomas Moore
were to dream today of an ldeal sIale'
he would see the family invested VIII
even larger significance or worship
than It had in the old Utopia. ne
might indeed see the opposite Oh what
we now behold, when the nome 40
being emptied Of its religious fharae-
ter and is being regarded as the
sole channel of worship. It might ap-
pear to him in his dream that the nom
est place in the community was not
that where the gospel was officially
proclaimed. but rather that where par
ents and children welcomed each new
dav with a glad hymn of praise, and in
the evening twilight blended their
voices in thanksgiving to God"

way you look at it. Thus we have a
presidential apostolic succession. 1t
is really equal TO the divine right OF
kings,-an old dogma in new dress.
The laying on of the presidential
hands transmits the succession.
I'VE have no precedent for this IN
our history, but older countries furn,
ish many. Some republicans seem to
like it, although many dislike it, their
dislike being expressed with stu,
small voice. we have gathered from
countries with hereditary kings, .
large population These people and
their descendants have vivid memoC-
les of kingly divine right and will I'M
derstand all that this means, VIII
they take kindly to this portent of i'm
perial power?
The pith of the matter is not IN
Volved in the question of whether Taft
is a good man or Roosevelt a good
man. 1t cannot be wise for us to d.
part from the Evolutionary safeguards
of republican government. 1t cannot
be well for us to name candidates for
the presidency ordained by the sitting
chief magistrate of the nation, and 10
have him suppress aspirants not so
ordained. A bad precedent in this re-
gard may be established beyond re,
Versal
THE history of our great presidents
offers no parallel. The instincts and
training of the American people are all
against this perversion of the presi-
Dental office. No democrat can look
upon it without condemnation, no re-
publican without serious misgivings,
even though he dare not condemn,
If we sanction this offense we make
the presidential office a thing of feudal
tenure, not the free choice of great
people. The same official influence
that has driven thousands of repub;-
cans in the chief councils of their
party to reluctantly sanction, from
supposed political necessity, this con
duct of President ROose 7elt has also
operated to make it seem fair and de-
cent to many others who believe that
the president is like a hereditary king,
in that he can do no wrong.
In some aspects this question is
more important than all the other con-
tentions of our political life"

CHAPTER II.

Last Christmas twelyemOnth,' said
Ignatius Jordan slowly, I was on the
moOr-NIorweu Down it is called.
Night was falling. The pIace-where
the road comes aICng over Jne down,
from Beer Aston and Beer Ferris. /
dare say you came along it, You took
boat from Plymouth to Beer Ferris,
and thence the way runs-the pack
men travel ito the north to Laun-
cestOn. 1t was stormy weather, and
the snow drove hard; the wind was so
high that a man might hardly face il.
I heard cries for help. I found party
of PLAYERS who were on their way to
Launceston, and were caught by the
storm and darkness on the moor.
They had a sick girl with them
His voice broke down.
Eve asked Ezekiel Babb.
Jordan nodded. After a pause he
recovered himself and went on. She
could walk no further, and the party
was distressed, not knowing whittier
10 go or what 10 do. I invited them
10 come here. The house is large
enough to hold score of people.
Next day I set them on their way
forward, as they were pressed TO be AT
Launceston for the Christmas Holt
days. But the girl was TOO III to pro-
coed, and I offered TO let her remain
here TIL she recovered. After a week
had passed the actors sent here from
Launceston to learn how she was, and
whether she could rejoin them, as
they were going forward to Bodmin,
