Boston Post)

The greatest religious invasion that
America has ever known is to be car
ried into every home in New England.
The enormously wealthy Mormon
church. grown militant by its great
power in the west, has set its eye on the
east and is determined to make inrOads
upon the old and fTm-rooted faiths Of
puritanical New England.
With Boston as the centre Of their
operations, and Sharon, Vt, the birth
place Of Joseph Smith selected as their
first colonizing point. a horde of Nor
mon elders, fired with religious zeal, are
TO descend upon the six New England
states and visit every home within their
confines. determined to gain the foot
hold which the leaders of their church
demand.
Sixty of these elders are already at
work in New England: within a month
their number vii be increased by 100
more, and by the 9th Of July there
will be over $50 missionaries of the
Church of Latter-day Saints striving
by every method possible to create an
interest in the tenets of their religion.
To Visit Every Home.
Some time this summer your door bell
viii be rung by a well-dressed, smooth
talking. aggressive young man, who viii
seek to interest you in the Mormon re-
ligion. Even if you laugh at him and
send him on his way he viii insist that
you accept his literature. And whether
or not you do accept it he viii be back
again some time or other to see If you
have undergone d change Of heart and
are ready to listen to his arguments.
This is the first time that any church
has attempted the feat of canvassing
every house in q section as large as
New England in an effort to secure con-
verts. 1t is an enormous undertaking,
but the Mormon church, backed by pO-
liticaI power and untold wealth, is de-
termined, if possible, to build up fol-
lowing in the New England states.
To secure this following the Church of
Latter-day Saints viii insist that all who
take up its tenets shall remain in New
England. This is considered contrary
to the usual custom of Mormon
who in the past have sent
their converts to Utah. The reason for
keeping converts in New England is to
accustom the people Of New England to
having Mormons among them and assO-
Ciating with them, and in this way
gradually to efface all vestige of hatred
toward Mormonism.
Hotel for Converts.
The first great effort Of the Mormon
church to gain a substantial fOothOld in
New England will be made in Vermont.
At Sharon. the birthplace of Joseph
Smith. founder Of the Mormon church,
q hotel will be built for the acCOmmO-
dation Of all converts who wish to gain
fervor by residing on the
birthplace of the prophet. over 100000
has already been expended by the Nor
man church in converting $50 barren
acres on a mountain top to a palatial
estate fit for a king.
This estate is to MormOns what Nee

THE HAFFEN CASE.

The recommendation of Mr.. Wallace MacFar-
lane the commissioner appointed by the Gov
ernor to investigate the charges against Borough
President Haffen, that the Borough President
be removed followed inevitably from the evi-
dence The case against Haffen resembled the
earlier case against Borough President Ahearn,
on which the latter was removed by the Gov
ernor The Commissioners of Accounts in their
investigation found in the administration of
The Bronx the same sort of laxity, waste and
extravaganza that was disclosed in Manhattan,
and Mr. MacFarane in going over the subject by
direction of the Governor reached about the
same conclusions regarding the facts as did the
Commissioners of Accounts. The borough has
been administered according to the eXigencies Of
a political machine The accounting systems of
the borough were slovenly and irregular and
its payrols were loaded with excessive force
of employees.
It is, however for certain specific misconduct
that Commissioner NacFarlane recommends Mr..
Haffen's removal. 10 wit. his use of the con-
struction of the Bronx courthouse for political
purposes, his construction of Clason's Point
Road TO enhance the value of his own and his
associates holdings in a real estate company,
and his part in the purchase of Hunts Point
Park His handling of the borough courthouse
was typical of the degree in which politics en-
tered into his administration Instead of put
ting this important public work into the hands
Of a well known architect, he appointed one of
his own district leaders as the architect, and
the stone from which the courthouse is being
built was bought from the quarry in which an
other district leader was interested. The result
has been great delay and increased cost and
presumably, from an artistic point of view, the
ruin of a building which, as Mr.. MacFarlane
says should be ''one of the most conspicuous
ul1hlic Monuments in the borouCh'
AS in the Ahearn case, no dishonesty is found
but the waste. inefficienCy and abuse OF power
disclosed are held 10 be adequate grounds of re-
moval. In fact. removal on such grounds CON
veys q more valuable and generally needed les
son than would ousting for plain stealing.
Downright thieves are not common in public
life to-day, but Haffens and Ahearns are rela-
lively so.
New-York tribune., 1909-07-15
GERM4NY'S NEW CHANCELLOR.

The promotion of DR. Won Bethmann- Hollweg
10 succeed Prince Biilow as Chancellor of the
German Empire confirms the opinion which
was expressed in this place on Tuesday, that
there have been a material change in the char
acter of the Chancellorship and diminution of
the personal authority of the imperial Grown
as results of the official mutations which have
occurred since the dropping of the pilot"
Nothing could emphasize this more cOnvinc-
ingly than the personality of the new Chan
cellor and the contrast between him and his
three predecessors The first. who. as Prince
Btlow felicitousy said the other day. placed
his hallmark upon the office, was a typical
Junker an hereditary nobleman and diplomat
of unrivalled eXperience-a man after the i'm
perial heart. The second was a distinguished
soldier and a vertable paladin of chivalry and
romance The third was diplomat of princely
rank only a trife short of royal; and the
fourth. who has just retired, was a member of
the highest nobility and diplomat of much
experience
Now comes the fifth. commOner and lay
man. We said that Mr.. Dernburg in the Colo
NAL Office marked the advent Of the business
man in hight imperial politics. It did; but
still more so does the appointment of Mr. Won
Bethmann-HOllweg TO be Chancellor. For he
is not of the nobility, he is not soldier, and
he has had no diplomatic experience. He is
distinctively scholar, business man and
practical administrator possessing the charac-
teristc aptitude of the Jewish race TO which
he. together with Mr.. Dernburg. belongs, and
which the Emperor, who now delights to honor
these men. in the days OF the notorious
Stoecker somewhat inclined to discriminate
against. If not TO persecute. For some time he
was Minister Of the Interior in the Prussian
Cabinet Then he became imperial Minister
of the Interior and Nice-Chancellor He is a
man of extraordinary diligence of the highest
administrative ability, of unimpeachabIe intee-
rty and of devoted loyalty to the Emperor
whose confidence he fully enjoys There could
probably have been no better choice for the
place, nor any other choice quite so good But
the change is none the less signiicant-a1d
we may hope, auspicious of good-from Prince

THE PERSIAN RETOLrTTON.

The steady and orderly progress of the Per
sian revolution continues and promises soon 70
be crowned with entire success. The capture Of
its capital is commonly regarded rs equivalent
10 the conquest of a country, unless the people
of the country are so resoute in their resistance
that they continue the struggle and regard any
spot as the capital where their chosen leaders
happen TO be. But in Persia the people seem
to be heartily and enthusiastically on the side
of the revolutionists. none more so than those
of Teheran itself. The only resistance to the
entry of the revolutiOnists was attempted by
the Shah and his few followers but now he is
a refugee and his troops have partly deserted
TO the revolutionists and have partly been
beaten by them while the popuace heartily
welcomes the revOiutionists and provisional
government is being established with the spon-
taneous consent of the governed. few days,
perhaps hours should see the conclusion of the
whole episode in the surrender Of the Shah or
his deposition and the establishment of a new
and truly constitutional government; though it
may be, of course. that the struggle will be pre-
longed even TO the necessity Of intervention
What is certain is that the Persians, like the
Turks and the Russians, fully intent upon
having a constitutional and representative gov
ernment and are showing themselves worthy
and capable Of it by their exercise Of balanced
restraint and resolution. There have been no
wild excesses. such as might have been feared
in an Oriental revolution and neither has there
been the vacillation or the abandonment OF
purpose which has marked some popular uprts-

Bismarck General Count Caprivi, Prince Ho-
! henlohe and Prince BulOw to Mr.. Won Beth
mann-HOllweg
OF significance which is scarcely to be exag-
gerated, too, is the circumstance that now 1or
the first time. there is a change i'll the Chan
cellorship as a result of an adverse vote in
/ the Reichstag. That is a fact which cannot be
concealed. Bismarck was dismissed because
the Emperor wanted to rule as well as reign.
I Caprivi was the victim of intrigues. Hohenlohe
went because of disagreementS with the EN-
perOr on matters Of policy in China and else
where RilOw has retired because he could not
command majority in the Reichstag and the
Emperor was not willing to keep him in office
in the face of a hostile majority. That is TO say,
the Emperor himself practically acknowledges
ministerial responsibility to the elected rep
resentatives of the German people. 1t may be
regarded as a concession to the people, too. that
this man of the people is made Chancellor IN
stead of Prince Radolin, Count WedeI or any
other of the noble personages whose names
have been mentioned in connection with the
place The whole incident marks. as we said
the other day. the rising power of the German
nation over the Chancellorship and even the
Crown itself.
As for the new ChanceIIor's policy, We may
forecast 1t from his recent utterances. He re
CARDS the present economic policy of Germany
including the Agraran tariff. as well estab-
Ished and amply justified by experience and
results. and he will therefore maintain 1t. He
is not altogether pleased with the changes in
the finance bill which the COnservative-Cen-
trist-Polish coalition forced upon the govern
ment. but he accepts them a temporary
makeshift for carrying the business of the
empire Whether he will be able to confirm the
"Schnapps bloc" as the Liberals call the pres
ent coalition. into a stable working majority
remains to be seen with a considerable element
of doubt concerning it. If not, and if he can
not replace it with such a majority of some
other formation. he will he confronted, ac-
cording to the precedent set by his predecessor,
with the alternative of resignation or dissolu-
ton.
