on government aid and resorting to
taxation.
And l venture to- say that even
those churches that in other countries
have had the benefit of government
support, when they come here and
learn how much more strength they
can develop of themselves, standing
on their own feet and working out
their own destination without gov
eminent interference. recognize the
fact that we are further ahead in the
matter OF church encouragement and
church enterprise than those govern
ments that still retain an interest
and a control over their churches.
But this institution is unique in
a number of respects.
In the first place-and that is
what l always refer to as the most
important part of the Young Mems
Christian Association-is the general
secretary, because he knows his
business. If there is one thing that
impresses men who make study Of
1t, 1t is the waste of mney devoted
to charity because it doesn't reach
a useful purpose.
ut is Just as hard to put your
money where it will do good for man
as it was to make the money. And
l always like to refer to the Young
Mems Christian Association as a
place where you can place all the
money you choose and get the value
of every dollar.
Now, why is that? That is be-
cause they have general secretaries
that study the question of building
up an association like this, OF main
tanning morality, high moral and re-
ligious standards, and of Offering ra-
tional amusement and company and
all the possible luxuries of a Chris
ton home to those who come and
accept the benefits of an association
without having the amusement give
the impression that young men are
receiving charity in any humiliat-
ing way
Now that kind of a man is not
born. He has got to be trained. And
the business of a general secretary
is a distinct profession which has
been brought out by the needs Of the

CROKER SAILS FOR N. Y. AS
HOT CAMPAIGN NEARS END,
All Three MayOralty Candidates
s. Claim Success.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-With the
managers of all three mayoralty AN
didates claiming that success is as
sured, the municipal campaign entered
its final stage indicating an exceedingly
close contest. Although the claims adj
vanced i'm behalf of William r. Hearst
and Otto r. Barnard are less sanguinc
than those of Tammany Hall, both
their camps have concentrated fire
upon the Democratic candidate, Judge
Gaynor.
The former Brooklyn jurist, in addi-
ton to being attacked last night by
William NJ. WINS, representing the
Civic Alliance, and by job E. Hedges,
speaking for the Republicans, had his
judicial career bitterly assailed by
Hector NJ. Hitchings, a well known
lawyer, who gained prominence at the
time of the overthrow of John Y. Nc
Kane, as political boss Of what was
then the town of Gravesend.

Richard Croker, long the ruler of Tam

His Nose.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.--Seeking relief
from an obstruction due to a broken
nose that makes it difficult for him to
breathe properly, James j. Jeffries, the
retired heavyweight champion pugilist
of the world, is to undergo an opera
ton today to have the difficulty
remedied.
In one of his fights with Bob Fitz-

blow on the nose that not only stag
gered him and nearly carried him off
his feet. but incidentally split one of
the bones, After the contest he had it
set, but a growth that is not painful,
but bothersome, has resulted.
Jeffries said the operation will have
no effect on his condition or interfere
with his chances of meeting Jack john
son.

Chief Charles J. Hamburger, ST.,

The chief sounded the fire call on a

Of a mile for the chief and by the time
he arrived at the place he found a
half dozen of his call men on the job
hunting for the fire, none could be
found. Then there was a search for
the person who turned in the alarm.
and it is said that a woman caused
the conjunction by putting a letter in
the box and pulling down the hook,
under the impression it was a letter
box. After giving the woman a lecture
on the danger of such mistakes Chief
Hamburger sent in the back taps,
and dismissed his ''ca1l men," who are

There has been much criticism about
the fire protection for the patients and

by Policeman.

Robert Oeltz. of 291 Lafayette street,
was fined $40 in the Third Precinct Po-
