Education" says Prof. Huxley, "is
the instruction of the intellect In the
laws Of nature. under which name l
include not merely things and their
forces. but men and their ways: and
the fashioning Of the affections and
Of the will into an earnest and loving
desire to move In harmony with those
laws. For me. education means neith-

king of Siam Visits His Temples


once year. says a writer in the Wide
World Magazine, all the Buddhist tenn
pies in Siam are visited by the king, or
his deputies, bearing the Phra kathin
(yellow robes), in conformity with an
ancient custom by which the priests
were made to seek their apparel for the
ensuing year. During the lifetime OF
Buddha monks and priests were sent
out To beg for old, caSt-off garments,
which We're aftcrward dyed yellow and
patched together to form the required
robes. This ancient mendicant custom
gradually gave place to the present one
of making the garments from new cloth
of Il bright canary yellow, provided by
joint contributions Of king, princes, no
bles and cOmmOncrS. When the king
goes i'm the royal throne barge to pre-
sent the robes i'm person he does so
with great pOmp and ceremony. The
pricstly garments. folded i'm bundles,
are carried to the door of the temple to
await the appearance of his majesty
and his suite. The king, on arriving,
takes Il pricstly robe and places it on
decorated altar. The chief priest then
lays his hands on the garment and
chants an acknowledgment.

Nashville American.

Nashville American.
Governor Patterson's promptness in
extending a pardon to Colonel Cooper
is what everybody expected.
Colonel Cooper had been his confidant
and frequent advisor The governor,
more than any other person, was in
position to know beyond peradventure
that Colonel Cooper contemplated no
hostile meeting, as the governor hln-
self had interceded and had been as
sured by all concerned that alteration
would be avoided. Claiming positive
conviction of this conclusion, he did as
he was expected to do under the CIR
cumstances put up to him as individual
and as governor.
The governors action tends to quie-
tude, and sucn disapproval as it may
prompt should first free itself from
collateral influences before recording
condemnation of his action The gov
ernor's conscience dictated his action,
his friends approve. Even his oppo-
nents must admire the consistent cour-
age with which he sticks to his convic-
tions and applaud the ability and ten
acity with which he contends for that
which he conceives to be right.
Let us have peace. Let Us abate our
bitterness, set a guard on our lips,
cultivate a more kindly consideration
for the rights of others and temper our
rival ambitions with the saving grace
of good humor.
Our convictions are as strong as
anybody's, our prejudices, perhaps, APP
pear as unreasonable, our resentment
may seem as acute and our ability to
keep up the fight unimpaired in any
way. But our better judgment die
tates the more reasonable, rational and
therefore most sensible course and we
have faith that it will appeal to that
quality in our readers.
1t was an unfortunate tragedy, that
brought grief to many and good to
none. 1t should hcnccforth be n closed
incident.

SECRET CHRISTIANS OF TURKEY
Religious Services In Hidden Churches
and BY Night.

When Islam swept Asia Minor
whole Christian neighbOrhOods were
forced to accept the religion of Mo-
hammed that they might escape the
sword. Most of these converts ac-
cepted only the outward shell of Is
lam, so that there are today whole
tribes outwardly Mohammedan but in
reality more Christian or heather.
A number of tribes among the Kurds,
for instance, are the descendants of
Armenians thus nominally converted
to Islam centuries ago.
Since the new constitution of Tur-
key processes to grant religious liber-
ty many of these people are attempt
ing to shake off the hated yoke OF
Islam and the Young Turk government
find itself face to face with the ques-
tion what attitude it should show to-
ward these attempts. At present the
Stavriots. as they are called, are
making great efforts to obtain their
right.
The Stavriots who live in the neigh
borhood of the cloisters of Wasilu
and T eristera and within the diocese
Of Trapezunt, ErZerum, Neocaesarea
(Niksar) and Chaldia number about
$4,000. The Turkish government con-
sidereu them Mohammedan, but they
adhered secretly to the ceremonies
of their former religion. They elect
ed their own Mohammedan teachers,
but they had also their own priests,
who performed marriage, baptism,
and other religious ceremonies in a
hidden church secretly and by night.
Each one of these StaHriots had two
names, q Christian and a Moham-
medan. In the mosques they prayed
with the Turks but used Christian
prayers.
After the revolution of last year
they telegraphcd the Young Turks
and demanded public recognition as
Christians. This recognition has not
yet been granted in spite Of the fact
that the new Turkish government
has promised complete religious lib
erty.-Missionary Review of the

THE PARDON OF COOPER.
As Seen BY Editors of Different Shades
of Opinion.

Nashville TenneSSean.
Cooper was convicted in a court pre-
sided over by a judge who resolved
practically every doubtful question in
mis- favor. Cooper was convicted in q
court whose sheriff had shown him
every favoritism. Cooper was convict
ed in q court whose clerk was a
brother of one of his co-defendants.
Cooper's sentence was affirmed by the
supreme court of the state after trial,
in which, as in the lower court, the
most able attorneys money and intiu-
ence could command had made bril-
liant, though losing fight for him.
Thus with everything in his favor and
with every obstacle possible in the way
of the prosecution Cooper was convict
ed of the crime which he had boasted
he would commit. And hardly had the
echo Of the last words Of Justice Shields
ceased to reverberate in the court
room when a pardon was granted by
the creature who befouls the govern
or's chair. Why? Was the pardon
granted DeCduSe -llleIe is llo lOH6ti q
government in Tennessee? Because
organized anarchy reigns where law
and order once held sway? Because
favorites are licensed to take human
life? Because the governors friends
can commit no crime? Or was the i'm
mediate granting of the pardon due to
other motives? Was it sequel to the
damaging contradictions made by the
governor the night Carmack redeemed
Cooper's threat? Men may differ as to
the motive that underlies this pardon,
this outrage Oh decency, this invitation
to crime, this licensing of gubernator-
ial favorites to go man hunting. Some
may assert 1t was due to favoritism,
others may couple the pardon with
Patterson's contradiction the night OF
the murder and attribute 1t to even
baser motives, but all men agree that
in pardoning Cooper Patterson has not
only further debauched and besmirched
himself, but he has disgraced Tennes-
see in the eyes of civilization. Ten
nessee, stripped naked Of the laws pro-
lection to human life, stands Inundated
and disgraced, and honest Tennesseans
everywhere hang their heads in shame
when they are forced to admit they are
citizens of the state Of which Patterson
is governor.

Chattanooga. Times

This action of the governor has been
expected, and that renders 1t all the
more dangerous. The prediction was
based on the facts: U That the fatal
quarrel between Colonel Cooper and
Senator Carmack grew out Of the for
mer's advocacy of and close relation to
the candidacy Of Governor Patterson;
CO that Colonel Cooper is and has been
a warm personal friend of the govern
or and CD that the latter would be
forced on these accounts to issue a
pardon.
None of these reasons Is good in
morals or official ethics. The pardon
ing power is not vested in the individ-
ual, NJ. r. Patterson, for the rewardinS
of friends or personal supporters or for
taking revenge upon his political or
personal enemies. 1t is vested in the
governor of the state for the protection
of the people and it was intended that
il should be exercised only when the
right of an individual had been violat-
ed, undue penalties imposed in cases
where the courts had been misled by
false testimony and where through the
exigencies of penal servitude the con-
vict may be reasonably declared to
have suffered enough for mis- crime be-
fore the full penalty had been paid. No
governor has a right to pardon crimi-
polc Simply hecauSe thew were his
friends; had supported him and coun-
seled with him, and especially is 1t a
monstrous doctrine to hold that he Is
justified in pardoning them because
they committed their crime as a result
of their allegiance to nim To excuse
his act on the plea that Colonel Cooper
did not have q fair and impartial trial
is to impugn two courts and is repug-
nant to the facts as we understand
them.
It was a hard place for the governor
to fill, but it gave him magnificent
opportunity for display Of that cour-
age of which his friends boast for him
and an exhibition of that lofty devotion
to the laws and to the best sentiments
of the people which he has so often de-
clared, both of which qualities he would
have shown If he had at least delayed
his action until he had time to study
the opinion of the court before he arbi-
trarily set aside its decree and nullified
it's solemn findings.
