But although Luther was the leader
OF the Protestants it must not be i'm
agined that he was OF the Puritan
stamp. That is far from the state of

Luther. which is far away from the
puritanical idea.
There was much of the all round

and courage-intellect and integrity.

But Of the wars which ragged over
Europe in this struggle CARLYLE re-
marks:
''Of Luther will now state. in ref
erence to all these wars and blood
shed, the noticeable fact that none
Of them began SO long as he was liv-
ing. The controversy did not get to
fighting so long as he was there. To
me 1t is the proof OF his greatness
in all his senses. this fact. How sell
dom do we find a man that has stirr-
cd up some vast commotion. who does
not himself perish, swept away in it!
Such Is the usual course of revolution
lists. Luther continued. in good de-
gree. sovereign of the greatest revolu-
ton: all Professionals of what rank or
function whatsoever. looking much to
him for guidance, and he held it peace
able, continued firm, at the center Of

MARTIN LUTHER

In this day and age it is possible
for religious bodies to regard one an
other with tolerance. 1t Is now posi-
BILE for Protestant to give honor and
appreciation to the Papist and vice
versa. Yet 1t has not been long since
this was impossible.
Today, looking back at the various
currents of the evolutionary forces
which changed the history of the
world certain men stand out IKE
great giants-almost forces of nature
In themselves. And Martin Luther is
one Of these men. Great were his vir-
tues-great were his faults and for
that reason his nature has all the
greater appeal. in that he was so In
tensely human.
One of the most striking incidents
in his life-it might be called turn
ing point is the spectacle of the SIM
pie but learned Teuton going from
his monastery to Rome and seeing for
the first time the impiety Of the high
or clergy. From that time on one may
imagine the struggle which went on
within himself which led to his later
work.
OF the great war of the Reforma-
ton which ragged for years after Luth-
or was dead and gone. little need be
said. However terrible the struggle
1t has been the salvation of whatever
has been for the best in spiritual
way In subsequent history. In the
diffusion Of real learning, the foster
ing Of science and Of invention and
modern government the Reformation
played its part.

TAFT AND THE SOLID
SOUTH"

ent addresses reSiueill-
It has frequently re-
his familiar theme of
oillty of breaking the
tn" By the same
" would it do to give
advice to Pennsylvania and
.sachusetts to break the
.l-nigh solid Republican
North. If it be true that sec
tional prejudices keep the South
aloof from the Republican par
ty, as the President-elect has
intimated, may it not be quite
as true that the same spirit ex-
lists north of Mason and DiXon's
line in quite as great degree,
working against the interests
of the Democratic party As
for race antipathies, which he
assigned as an essential cause
of existing political conditions
in the South, the negroes are
quite as well, if not better,
treated by the white Democrats
of the South as by the white
Republicans in the Northern
States. There are few trades
unions here in the North to
which they are given member
ship, and their opportunities
of learning or exercising skilled
mechanical crafts are exceed
ingly small.
But there are two potential
causes of the firm adhesion of
the "Solid South" to the nation
al Democratic party. The one
to which Mr.. Taft does not APP
pear to give sufficient weight
is the strong attachment of the
people of the South to the prin-
ciples of local self government.
Although the doctrine of State
rights has undergone consider
able modification, they are in
vincibly opposed to the GEN.
tralizing tendency of the Re-
publican party, especially to its
manifestations under the Roose-
yelt regime. To the exercise
of the rights of self-government
the Southern States owe more
than to anything else their re-
covery from the baleful effects
of carpet-bag reconstruction
and their moral and material
progress.
The other cause is in the ira
ditional hostility of the South
ern people to the protective sys-
tenn, of which the Dingley tariff
is the latest and worst outcome.
In opposition to this sentiment
the spurious Democrats in the
South, who want high duties
on oranges and bananas, or
who fear that the country will
be "flooded" with Egyptian
cotton, do not count for much.
But Mr.. Taft, who declares that
he "will become more or less
responsible for the policy of
the next Administration" has
cmphatically declared his hos
tility to Capitalization and it's
dangerous tendencies. His Ad-
ministration is also pledged to
q substantial reform of the
tariff. Hence it will depend up
on himself in large degree
whether the "Solid South" shall
be broken. If he should not
succeed in arresting the new
Federalism propagated by Pres
ident Roosevelt in his party,
and if his promises of a genuine
revision of the tariff should
prove illusory, he may expect
the South to remain as solid as
ever. What are wanted now
are deeds in proof of the new
Presidents friendship for the
Southern people and of his own
freedom from the spirit of sec
tionalism which pervades his

LATHAM ATTEMPTS TO FLY

Machine Drops Into sea-Aviator Res

Calais, July 19.-Herbert Latham,
the French aviator made a daring but
unsuccessful attempt to cross the Eng
fish channel in his monoplane this
morning. He got away splendidly un-
der perfect conditions from the top of
the chalk cliff at Sangatte and had
covered over half the distance at an
average height of 500 feet when the
motor slowed down, and he was
obliged to descend The air space of
the wings however, kept the machine

q wounded bird; was stretched out on
the water when the French torpedo
boat destroyer Harpon, which had
kept abreast throughout the journey,
came alongside and picked up the
aviator. Latham was not wet and
still sat on the saddle, which Is located
above the wings and behind the motor,
calmly smoking cigarette. He an
nounced that he was not discouraged
by the failure and would try again as
soon as the machine was repaired.
The damage to the nTonoplane was
slight, the principal injury being caus-
ed when it was hauled aboard the tor
pedo boat destroyer. The motor is in
tact. The watchers on both shores had
an anxious hour after the mao line was
lost to view behind a thin veil of fog

MIXES ROCKS STRIKERS
AWAIT MATTERS AT ISSUE.
Under Certain. Conditions Riot and
BIoodshed Will Again Prevail.

Pittsburg. Pa, July 19.-With the
five thousand striking employees Of the
Pressed Steel Car company clinging
desperately to the hope that the courts
will take action on the matters at is
sue between themselves and the COM
pany tomorrow and compel resumption
of operations at the mills pending the
arbitration of all existing differences,
the sixth day of the strike at the Nc
Kees Rocks plant passed today un-
marred by the slightest disturbance.
Judges Thomas ]. Ford and Marshall
Brown OF the court OF common pleas
have set tomorrow, at 1 p. m, as the
time for the application OF the public
defense association for a double in
junction restraining both strikers and
employers from acts calculated to ag-
gravate or prolong the strike. and on
the decision rendered at that time WIFI
depend the future of the conflict.
1t is loudly proclaimed in labor cir
cles that in the event of the court de-
clining to pass on the merits of the
dispute the men now holding the strik-
ers in check will find IL impossible TO
longer exert this restraining influence
and that riot and bloodshed will again
prevail.
The employers make no secret OF the
fact that they will dispute the courts
jurisdiction in the matter and oppoEe
the issuance of any injunction pre-
venting them from permanently dis
charging the first six hundred men
who walked out OF their shops and
precipitated the strike. The right Of
the court to prohibit the importation
Of strike breakers will also be chai-

Shoe Manufacturers association, which
includes practically all the manufac-

The statement refers to the alleged

izing it is undue interference" and
says:
"The Lynn shoe manufacturer has
