Colonel Franklin Pierce Morgan, Of
Washington and New York, never
made but one great speech, and the
story of 1t is pathetic. His audience
was Grover Cleveland, then President
of the United States, and hisrqwrpose
was to secure a pardon for d murderer
named O'Neil. in whom the colonel had
become interested, says Popular Maya
zine.
I'll W. forget that day." said the
colonel in telling about the incident.
81 had told Dan Lamont the day be-
to pardon O'Neil, who was a creature
of the dark places at times, but a pref
ty good fellow at that. Cleveland had
taken the precaution to send to the
department of justice and get the
papers In the case.
81 got UP early the next morning,
had a massage and was feeling tfptop.
l got in to see Cleveland and I spoke
twenty minutes. Never in my life,
before or since, have I been as eloquent
Is I was, pleading for that fellow
O'Neil. The end of every sentence ]
uttered brushed the edges off a cloud,
I concluded my argument. confident
that I had swept the President off his
feet.

you have to say on behalf of your

In these days Of foundations of all

knowing just how to give away some
OF their money without making the

of these wonderfully wealthy people
would buy a large plot at the seashore'
New Jersey or Long Island, and erect
cottages, cheap but substantial. q long
step in the line of practical good to
ones fellow man would be taken.
These cottages could be rented at a
nominal figure, and might even turn
out to be a profitable investment like

OUT GOES THE VOTING MACHINE.

I'D AYONNE'S special election yesterday, in which all the voting
y machines in the twenty election districts of the city were
abolished by a vote of four to one, was in a regular order
of sequence, following special elections with like results in districts
in many other municipalities. Paterson lately threw out machines
in two election districts. On July 26 special elections will be held
in all the other districts of Paterson in which machines have been
placed, and on July 30 Paterson will be rdded of all voting machines
and will return to the ballot of our fathers. Plainfed also will
vote in July to abolish its voting machines, and Senator Alderman,
who as committee chairman suppressed a repeater bill at the last
Legislative session, will be afforded an objectlesson right at home.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT nv CITIES.

TN ATERSON has no commission form OF government. n de-
Is cision by the Errors Court yesterday merely sustains a legs
lative act providing for the establishment OF police and hre
commissioners and a Board of Works and a Finance Board. Newark
has had these departmental commissions for years, and was the hrst
city in the State to divorce it's police and fire departments from
the political partisan control of the Common Council, Paterson
limped many years behind in the reform and then adopted 1t
doubtfully. But the commission idea has proved so decided an
on old departmental methods that its extension is now
widely favored. There is evident need for it in county government.
The mismanagement and scandals in the administration of the
affairs of the great county hospital for the insane at Overlook
suggest one direction for the reform.

A TAFT AND GARFIELD MIX-UP.

cT1 HE expulsion of John Garfield, a senior and a son of James
Garfield. former secretary of the interior, from the Taft
school at WATERFOWL, Conn, by Horace Taft, the school prln-
cipal and brother of President Taft, would ordinarily have no
particular significance. But Garfield, the father, was replaced as
head of the interior department by Ballinger by act of President
Taft, and he is irreconcilably opposed to the acts and tendencies OF
the Taft administration. Principal Horace Taft didn't expel young
Garfield for that, but there are lots of people who will think so.

Controversy as to the use of the
loaded bowling ball is being taken up
again here. About two years ago the
New York Bowling association allowed
the lead core balls to be used, but a
committee has been considering the
matter for the past two weeks and
now recommends the resembling of the
rule allowing the use of the loaded ball
in the Gotham leagues.
For while the eastern devotees Of
the game were content with matters
as they Stood" says the committee,
but experience seems to show them
that the loaded ball in the hands Of
crack players is not conducive to the
best interest of the game any more
than rutty alleys or steam-dried pins.

schedules in nearly hundred leagues

TEND TO LEVEL MANKIND

The following article was written
for the University Missourian in the
interest of foreign missions by c. A.
Ellwood of the department of Sociol-
ogy in the University of Missouri DR..
Ellwood's paper deals with the socio-
logical significance of foreign mis-
sions:
There are only three possible at
titudes which the civilized peoples can
take toward the non-civilized. First,
that of Indifference. This usually rests
upon the assumption that their civili-
cation or social life is just as good
as our own. While a few intellectuals
may pretend to believe this, the COM
mon sense of mankind teaches other
wise. A second attitude which may
be taken by the civilized toward the
|non-civilized is that of exploitation.
This is the attitude which is taken by
our larger financial interests, and
shared in by many business men. 1t
is the attitude of selfish greed, and,
logically, would lead to the practical
enslavement of the lower and less cul-
tured peoples by the higher cultured
peoples. A third attitude, and the
only one which is consistent with
Christianity, is that of service; that
the civilized have as their highest
duty the raising to moral equality
with themselves the lower and nom
civilized peoples. This is the mission
airy attitude, and is the only one which
the Christian conscience should ap-
prove of.
1.-The sociological significance of for
eign missions is, then, that it is a
vast movement to level up, in culture
and in civilization, all mankind. It
is movement to make real the unity
of the race in culture, achievement,
ideals, and aspirations. Those who
take world-view of human society
must regard the foreign mission move
ment, therefore, as socially the most
significant movement which the

in city that has only tenth Of the
population of London, yet 10000 pas

The Liverpool street station, London,

The reason for this apparent anomaly
is that in London and other populous
