Req. Edward Everett Hale. DID. who
today received the congratula tons of his
friends upon attaining his eighty sixth
birthday, stands upon the threshold of his
eighty-seventh year. DR.. Hale is in good
health and spirits. and in the full posses
sion of his vigorous mental faculties Each
day he comes to the United States Senate
and prays for his country and particular
ly for the highest branch of it's legislature
with such earnestness that the senator's on
the floor and the spectators in the gallery
listen spellbound at his words
A Sterling Patriot.
DR. Hale is above everything else
patriot Through his long and crowded
life his eyes have never been off the flag
of his country. Throughout his work as
a Christian minister-he dislikes to be
called a "clergyman-and in all his .edu-
cational social. journalistic historic and
other varied activities. his constant aim
has been to help the people of his coun-
try to a clearer understanding of their
birthrights.

Monthly brought out The Man Without
a Country" i'm which. with all that power
that has made his fiction carry weight. he
made his first great appeal to the patriot
ism of the land. 1t has often been said
that this story did more for the Union than
many successful battles. Today 1t is re-
garded by all educators as one of the
most effective means for awakening the
young mind to a realization of what love
of country means.
His Literary Work.
DR.. Hale says of himself that he was
graded" in the sheets of newspaper.
and to that fact he attributes the power
of his English style. He has formulated
his own rules for writing out of hard
experience. His production is enormous.
At the Harvard library more than 80
titles are listed under his name.
The late Senator HQar of Massachu-
sets once paid him great and honest
tribute in the following words:
Il have never known anybody in all
my long life who seemed TO me to be
joined by the heartstrings with SO many
men and women wherever he goes. To me
and my little household in Washington

"Washington is the most beautiful city

as has ali large cities of the nation Home
missionary work In this city has had a
telling effect, and today; the slums of

condition than a number of years ago. In

fifteen years ago there was q settlement
of foreigners. mostly Poles. The men In
the settlement were an oragnized band

The church people saw the conditions
and established mission in the midst of
the settlement. The mothers. wives and

In discussing yesterday afternoon
What Can the I.aity Do in the

Methodist Church is the largest Protest

bership of the Methodist Episcopal
Church forms the largest part of this
great body. We should discuss if the

much could be accomplished. If the lay

be accomplished. How much can be &C
complished if they work together. I say
INFINITELY more can be accomplished if
they work shoulder TO shoulder

lieves in the salvation for every man, and

THE NATIONS AIRSHIPS.

One of the three airships built for
the United States war department has
shown that it meets the requirements
OF its designers contract with the
government. With two men and one
hundred and fifty pounds of ballast,
Captain Thomas S. Baldwin's dirigible
balloon can travel at twenty miles an
hour for at least five hours. A slightly
lower speed can be maintained for
two hours or more. obedience to the
helm has been demonstrated and the
airship has remained right side up
during all official and unofficial trials
to which it has been subjected. Upon
its satisfactory performance both
Captain Baldwin and the country are
TO be congratulated.
1t is to be hoped that many years
will elapse before the new adjunct of
military service will be employed for
the object for which it was provided
In the mean time. however, the chief
signal officer intends to use it for edu-
cational purposes. In fact, it would
be of no value unless soldiers were
trained to handle it, and the sooner
this part of General Aliens program
is undertaken the greater will be the
efficiency of his aeronautic staff in time
of need. Eventually it may be deemed
expedient. to build larger and swiftel
dirigible balloons than that which il
about to become the property of the
government. but practice can probably
be carried on more advantageously

THE ECHO OF HOBSON'S GABBLE.

1t is an astonishing thing that the
empty gabbie of fool like Hobson
should so echo around the world.
But echo is mere vibration of the
hollow ear. There seems to be far
less reality in the reverberations of
folly that come back from Japan and
are repeated again in New York, than
there was in the original masterpiece.
When the Denver convention first
laughed and hooted Hobson's Japa-
nese war cry into silence. our friends
across the Pacific seemed to see the
joke and enjoy it as much as we.
But a little later there came from
nowhere or anywhere or everywhere
in Japan a most mysterious outbreak
of anti-American feeling. said to have
been inspired by a similar outbreak
of ti-Japanese feeling in the New
York press. which nobody in New
York ever saw and which never ex-
listed.
AS if that were not enough, Count
Okuma swan within the ken of the
Japanese press Now Count Okuma is
Il prudent and sagaious old gentleman
who makes living by leading the Jap
anese opposition.
Every parliamentary government
must have an opposition, even if it has
to be told off for the purpose by the
government. like counsel for a strange
and pennless prisoner Without the
responsibility of Office. Count Okuma
can say what he likes and disavow it
and the journals equally irresponsible
may put into its outh what they like
Another war blast seemed to come
from him until his contradiction over
took it, Almost simultaneously our
gentle. slant-eyed friend WI Ting
Fang was quoted in Toxic as threat
ening the japanese with the American
naval big stick. 1t took only a few
hours to get his own contradiction OF
this, but the Okuma reverberation OF
Hobson's gable floated resounding in
the air for a day or two.
1t reminds one of the whispering gal
lery where the squeak of a mouse ir
one end becomes the wild Shrek of q
hurricane at the other.

Weather Conditions.

The barometric pressure has di-
minished over the North Pacific states
and rain has set in over western WASH

stationary north of the Dakotas is
causing showers in western Canada.
Rain also fell in Minnesota, Nebraska
New Mexico and along the Atlantic
coast. 1t is warmer this morning over
the Pacific northwest, and cooler along
the middle Of the Rocky Mountain

SENATE INSURGENTS"

A Washington correspondent, in a
manifestly inspired" article, says that
there is a prospect that on the con-
vening of the next congress a band of
''insurgent' senators will dispute the
control of that body by Senator Aid
rich and other corporation" senators
who have been SO long in control, says
the Oregon Journal. 1t would not be
surprising, indeed, to find some Gin
surgent' senators to join La Toilette
in the next congress, but when one
looks over the list announced by this
correspondent as probable ''insur-
gents" hope of the control of the SEN
ate being wrested from the corpora
ton senator's vanishes.
This correspondent mentions &c
senators as corporation" men and
Aldrich followers, and 10 as ''insur-
gents" but adds to this 10 seven more
to be elected next winter, assuming
that they will all be of the "insurgent'
order. Among the insurgents" to-be
who are already members he men
tions Clapp and Nelson of Minnesota,
Dolliver of Iowa, Gamble of South Da-
kota, Smoot and Sutherland of Utah,
Warren Of Wyoming, Piles of Wash
ington, and others. and-wouldn't it
make you grin Flint of California.
The list leads off with Beveridge, Be-
rah Bourne, Brown and Burkett and
includes Nixon and Dixon. and how
ever it may be as to these and some
others mentioned, it is ludicrous to
think of Flint joining in any insur-
gent movement against the corpora
tons. Flint was the Southern Pacifics
nominee and choice. 1t is that and al
lied corporations that he is there to
represent. Dolliver might insurge mild
ly, and Beverage considerably, but if
Clapp or several others mentioned ever
showed any signs of rebellion we
have never heard of it, nor is there
anything in Mr.. Piles record to indi-
cate that he is dangerous to corporate
interests
Then this wonderfully imaginative
correspondent has doubtful list,
among whom he puts Carter of Mon
tana, Buckley of Connecticut, Dilling-
ham of Vermont, Perkins of California
and-one must giggle now-GIggen-
helm of Colorado. Think of Tom Car
ter, of eminently safe and sane" Per-
kins, of senator's from Vermont and
Connecticut, states utterly under the
rule of corporations-and Gugganheim.
even Guggenheim-as possible ''insur-
gents" What a people-serv trust
smashing senate it will be indeed,
when Carter and Guggenheim and
Perkins and Clapp and Flint and
Bulkeley and Dillingham; and some
others like them have reformed it.
Tom Carter! and Flint! and Guggen-
helm! and corporation men from New
England! Verify, it might be better to
stick to Aldrich and Rockefeller. They
don't pretend to be reformers-except
on Sunday.
This sort Of stuff won't deceive any
body. The only way to get what the
people want out of the senate is to
elect Bryan and a democratic house,
and then possibly enough senators
would become sufficiently scared at
what is going to happen to them if
they do not consent to some legisla-
ton in the peoples Interest. But lei
the people pray co be delivered from
successful insurgency on the part OF
Carter, and Bulkeley, and Dillinghom
and Perkins and Flint and-Guggen-
helm.
