BUSINESS METHODS.

Figures we get. from a newspaper report -
that customs collections at the port of AIevanJ.;,
Va, amounted to so during the past year. and +b
expense of maintaining the port was 1921 A..
Crisfeld, Me- it cost 1926 to collect $95; at PORTS,
mouth, N. H., $3,573 to collect $22165 at Egg H..
Dor, N j., $4,221 to collect $500. and at Amman,
lis, Nd, 1856 to collect $500 By a little +gI,rir.
one may arrive at the result that it cost the Govern
ment S13,26O to collect $496.S3 in customs dut;o.
at these five ports, or that they were maintained o.
loss of $12 1917. There are 100 ports of an+rr
under the supervision of the treasury department
forty of which are said to have bigger expendrre,
than receipts. The natural inference IS that tho
treasury department is not pursuing modern busi
ness methods in the conduct of its affairs vet svob
an inference would be entirely erroneous 1t ia M.
the fault of the treasury department that these
forty ports are maintained. Instead the fault lies
with congress Repeated requests have been made
by the secretary of the treasury to have the ports
which fail to make expenses abolished but congress
has so far failed to act upon such requests

election. The congressman are ambitious, and thew
band themselves to defeat legislation which would
lessen their prestige in their home district And
the people in the districts which would lose the I'M
profitable port by the enactment of the Legislation
suggested by the secretary of the treasury don't
want their ports abolished.
However, the administration of President Taft
is definitely pledged to economy, and if the adj
ministration bring its power to bear there may
be accomplished what has heretofore been among
the impossibilities. The perpetuation of those
ports of entry where the receipts fail to equal the
and of others where the receipts do
not justify their continuance is not in accord with
the proposed government economy as undertaken
by the administration. If congress can be made to
abolish those ports it will be accepted as an midi
cation that business methods of administration are
really supplanting the methods of those statesmen
who have favored legislation of benefit to a very
limited constituency to the detriment of the nation

MORALITY VS.. RELIGION.

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead
to political prosperity, religion and morality are
indispensable supports. In vain would that man
claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor
to subvert these great pillars of human happiness,
these frmest props of the duties of and ctize,
The mere politicians, equally with the pious man,
ought to respect and to cherish them volume
could not trace all their connections with private
and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, where
is the security of property, for reputation for life
if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths
which are the instruments of investigation in courts
of Justice? And let us with caution indulge the
supposition, that morality can be maintained with
out religion. Whatever may be conceded to the
influence of refined education on minds of peculiar
structure reason and experience both forbid us to
expect that national morality can prevail in ex-
cluson of religious principle. 1t is substantially
true that virtue morality is necessary spring of
popular government. The rule indeed extends with
less force to every species of free govern
ment. Who that is sincere friend to it. can look
with Indifference upon attempts to shake the foun-
dation of the fabric Nv ashington's Farewell Ad-
dress.

AVIATION WEEK.

Los Angeles has been having great time with
the flyers. The meeting was really the first of its
kind ever held in America and among the first to
be held anywhere in the world. Aviation, though
the Wrights have had their machines in practical
working order for several years. really got its start
only last year. 1t has made giant strides in its
short space of life. Just now, though everybody
is agreed that the aeropane is only in its infancy,
and changes constantly being experimental with
to bring flying practical basis, the fun of
flying is for only the select few. One must be ex-
perienced to enjoy the sport. However, the number
who are gaining that experience is growingly rap
idly. And it may be only few years until aero
planes are quite common. Just now there
paratively few people of the world who have seen
one of the machines. And most of those who have
not seen an aeroplane thoroughly convinced
that they do not to try ascent in one of
them. Yet there does not seem to be as much dan
ger connected with the sport as one would natural
ly suppose. Mankind has been good many years
on the face of the EARTH and the novelty of sail
ing through the air is so different that it is hard to
accept it as practical thing. No serious accident
accompanied the meet at Los Angeles, although it
is generally recognized that the machines are not
perfected. Wind nterferes with their operation,
and doubt is expressed if the machines could rise
from the ground in Salt Lake, on account of the
altitude But meetings like that at Los Angeles
afford opportunities for the avators to experiment
and for the people to become accustomed to the
unusual; they bring aviation to practical
solution 1t is such meetings as this that will en-
able the flyers to make their craft little better,
to secure a little better control and to overcome
the obstacles which they meet. 1t may not be long
before the air will furnish as good means of pas
senger conveyance as the water-and then again
it may. The development of the art of flying will
be watched with interest by all.

MARK TWAIN-PATRICK McALEER

"This is my only friend" said he, holding up
cigar, ''and my doctor tells me l must not be too
friendly with tobacco. I have no one left now but
daughter who is in Europe" The hearts of the
American people go out in sympathy to Mr. Samuel
L. Clemens Mark Twain), an exile on the tragic
Island of Bermuda In his long day he frightened
by his humor and anecdote the lonely hour of MANY
a care-burdened mind and now in the night of his
life he sits in mourning in the darkness of accu-
INFLATED sorrow. Though of a buoyant tempera-
ment it is impossible for him again to bask in
the sunshiAe of jovialty and rollicking humor for
the heart of this kindly old men is in the grave

dead in her bath few weeks ago

WHAT HAPPENED AT sTRAsBOURG.

The very same thing happened last year in the
Catholic Cathedral at Strasbourg. After the body
of the suicide was taken away the doors of the Ca
thedral closed, the bells were rung backwards
the Church was officially declared desecrated, all
services were stopped and the clergy of the city
summoned to meet the Archbishop When the
Archbishop and his priests were together. they
tered the Cathedral in procession, preceded by a
cleric bearing aloft the cross and on it the appeal
ing image of the Crucifed Christ, "whose head was
bowed down even as droops the yellow ear of corn
Then the church was solemnly reconsecrated, and
the first service performed was a depreciation Of
Gods wrath for the crime committed in His house
No doubt the instructed Episcopaan and the
instructed Catholic alike know that sef-murder il
forbidden by God. No doubt the Anglican Bishop
of London and the Archbishop of Strasbourg were
equally anxious that the people should be taught
hold this Christian truth, that is that suicide il
dreadful sin. No doubt also the Bishop of Lon
don and the Archbishop of Strasbourg we're also
equally anxious to impress upon the people the
nature of the sacrilegious deflement of building
consecrated to holy uses and that, at least in the
Strasbourg case, some extraordinary PREPARATION
should be made to God and something more thar
sponging up the blood and washing the floor de-
filed by the blood ought to be done.
Now, which of these high Church dignitares
think you, deepened more securely respect for the
House of Code Which spoke the language most
Ineligible to the multitude Which of these two
was most likely to have effect on the
minds of the people, to create horror of self
murder and enlarge the idea of the sanctity OF
Gods temple?

THE DEVIL AND BISHOP sPALDING.

A week ago last Sunday the Rt. Rev. F. S. Spald-
ing. D. D., bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
church. spoke, by invitation, to large and inter-
ested group of men in the assembly room of the Y.
M. c. A. this city.
The title of the bishops address was Religion
and Life. or the World the Flesh and the Devil"
He contended that 'these terms had almost lost
their meaning and needed to be REDEEMED if they
wore TO have value to men today"-or in other
words that human nature has essentially changed
the time of the Apostles. But it is when his
lordsbip has to deal with the "devil" his address
becomes illuminating, his ideas take on a twen-
tietb century polish and his speech is greeted with
the applause Of young men who have OutliVed the

erence for sarced things and persons to censure
Mr. Clemens for his contempt of the sanctities of
tradition and for his indifference to the senslbl1-
ties OF reverent and devout souls we cannot forbear
sympathizins deeply with him in his afflictfon and
desoat1on. 1t is supremely sad to reflect that the
closing years of Mark Twain the humorist and bril-
liant penman, are surcharged with gloom and de-
spondency. He has written and spoken many adj
mirabe and eloquent passages but never anything
so complimentary to his head and heart is his
tribute to his dead coachman, Patrick McAleer.
Addressing large and representative audience
of New York citizens, Mr.. Clemens incidently al
luded to letters mailed to him from parties asking
his opinion and advice on various subjects. "Here
is singular request sent to this morning" he
said "and it reads: In what one of your books can
we find definition of a gentleman II have not
answered that telegram" he continued. ut seems
to me that if any man has just, kindly and merci-
full instincts, he will be gentleman, for he will
need nothing else to make him SUCH"
There was intense silence. The great humorist
stood with bowed head apparently oblivious to his
large audience. Across his face, scanned with years
and care, there passed the shadow of friend. Then
rising to his full stature, he looked down upon the
hushed people, and spoke
Twain's Ideal Gentleman.
"No, he was never old-Patrick. He came to
us thirty-six years ago. He was my coachman
the morning that [ drove my young bride to
new home. He was a young Irishman, slender, tall,
1.-the honest, truthful, and he changed in all
his life. He really was with us but twenty-five
years, for he did not go with to Europe, but he
never regarded that as separation. As the children
grew up he their guide. He all honor, hon
esty, and affection. He was with in New Hamp-
shire with us last summer, and his hair just as
black, his eyes were gust as blue, his form just
straight, and his heart just good on the day
we first met. In all the long years Patrick never
made mistake. He never heard an order; he
never received command He knew [ have been
askd for my ideal of an ideal gentleman, and give
it to you-Patrick McAleer."

WHAT HAPPENED AT LONDON.

A few weeks ago an unknown man, as eccentric
as he was wicked found his way into the gallery Of
st. PauPs (Anglican) Cathedral, London, and COM
mitted suicide by throwing himself to the stone
floor two hundred feet below. The sections as
sisant wiped up the blood, the undertaken carried
